Marin's return to East Friesland this time was not only to visit his wife and children, but also to check the preparations for the attack on Jävre. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Denmark and Sweden had already begun a fierce war, and the Danes were killed and wounded by muskets more than 2,000 people under the city of Stockholm, causing heavy losses. So, now Denmark is in a siege war and no longer makes a strong attack.

However, in Stockholm, there is a large amount of food stockpiled, enough to last a year or two. So, old Sten. Sturley was not at all afraid of a long siege. As for cutting off the water, the Danes can't do it either. Because, Stockholm is a seaside city with a humid climate. Even if Denmark cut off the river, the Stockholmers could dig wells for water.

Taking advantage of the fact that Denmark's attention was drawn away by Sweden, Marin planned to make a move on Jävre. With an area of more than 500 square kilometers, Marin is very covetous. You know, in the interior of Germany, many counts may not have such a large fiefdom.

In order to besiege Yävre, Marin had made many assumptions and devised many siege methods. For example, the method used to dig tunnels in the previous capture of Emden.

However, after Sauer's spies went to investigate, this method was rejected......

Why? Because, Jävre was just a barony. The Wilmkens, though more affluent than the average baron, did not build a large city to live in, but built a small but strong castle to live in.

The castle was inhabited by either members of the Wilmken family, or guards and attendants. Therefore, it is unrealistic to send people to infiltrate the castle and dig a tunnel. It's easy to sneak into a city, but it's too hard to sneak into a castle. So, the idea of digging tunnels was vetoed.

As for sending the dead to open the city gates, it is as unreliable as digging tunnels. Because, the castle has a small population, which is convenient for screening. It is also very difficult to infiltrate a group of dead soldiers who open the city gates.

Therefore, the only way to attack such a fortified castle is to storm it......

Of course, it is also possible to blow up the walls by digging tunnels and planting explosives under them. However, Marin will not use such a method. He also guarded against it, and this trick was learned by his enemies and used against himself. Therefore, he would rather storm the castle than use such a biased move.

After that, Marin went to inspect the cannon foundry and inspect the development of the Korhorn mortar. It was found that the craftsmen were working on improvements, so that the total weight of the artillery was lowered, as close as possible to the total weight of 82 kilograms, which Marin said. For this reason, they are also racking their brains.

Moreover, it also makes sense to reduce the total weight of the Kohorn mortar. In addition to being easy to transport, it also has the meaning of reducing costs. After all, the price of copper in Europe is so expensive now, and an extra 15 kilograms of weight is equivalent to 1 kilogram of silver more expensive, which is very expensive. Therefore, craftsmen have to desperately find ways to reduce the total weight and reduce the amount of copper consumed. The waste of a cannon copper is not yet visible, but Marin is planning to build a row of such copper cannons. If each cannon weighed 10 kilograms, then the weight of 50 guns would increase by 500 kilograms, worth two or three thousand gold coins. So, they're looking for ways to reduce copper consumption so that they can reduce costs in mass production.

As for the production after research, there is no problem. Because, the craftsmen of the cannon foundry know how to cast guns with iron molds. As long as the corresponding iron mold is created, it is not a problem to make 10 Kohorn mortars per day......

Against Yèvr, Marin has always been very confident. In this attack, Marin just wanted to test the tactics of using the Korhorn mortar salvo to attack the city, not that he could not attack now.

Moreover, the development of the Kohoun mortar is getting closer and closer to Marin's requirements. It is believed that it will not be long before a qualified Kohorn mortar will be created.

It just so happened that Marin also needed to go to Vienna two months later to attend the emperor's ceremonies, and he did not have time to attack immediately. As a result, Marin instructed Schwartz, who had already returned to East Friesland, to prepare in advance. When he returned from Vienna, he was ready to launch an attack and take a few hundred square kilometers of Jevre's land in one fell swoop......

……

While Marin was preparing to attack Jävre, good news came from Emden's side - the first Neapolitan beauties had arrived......

Due to the destruction of the war in the Kingdom of Naples, there are now many hungry refugees, and there are still many beautiful girls in them. Under the lure of Marin's food, many families were willing to let their daughters marry off in East Friesland in exchange for food and clothing. What's more, this is not the food and clothing of one person, but the food and clothing of the whole family......

Art, who was in charge of the food-for-women program, saw that there were so many beautiful women willing to marry East Friesian, so he simply raised the requirements and chose the beauties first......

So, at the grain trading site, a beauty contest was held. Alter did not skimp on food, but limited the selection of beautiful women. Although, those beauties need two sacks of rye to exchange for one......

Alter began to select Italian beauties based on the four criteria of appearance, health, the smell of the girl, and whether she was a yellow flower girl. This product also used power for personal gain, and first chose a very beautiful Italian girl for himself. Then, another 2,000 beautiful, healthy, odorless, and original Italian beauty village girls were selected and shipped back to Emden in the first batch.

In order to house the girls, Kohler also built a large yard to house the girls and wait for the distribution of ......

Seeing those beautiful Italian beauties, Emden's entire barracks exploded. When many soldiers were not on duty, they ran to see the beauties......

Unfortunately, Kohler made a strict rule - trespassers die...... This stopped the group of big-headed soldiers who wanted to go in and rob their daughter-in-law......

Ma Lin also quietly went to see it, and the quality was higher than the Mao Mei I bought from Russia last time......

It's no wonder that it's not that the hairy girls are not beautiful, but that the most beautiful group of hairy girls have long been sold to Turkey by the Crimeans at a high price. The inferior ones were sold to the Venetian merchants. Therefore, the 200 hairy girls that Marin bought back last time are actually middle-to-top, but they are sexy.

And the 2,000 Mao Mei brought back by Alter, but among the hundreds of thousands of refugees, can the top beauties selected be the same as those second-class Mao Mei?

So, even Marin was a little stunned......

Karn, who had gone with Marin, had the reaction of a normal man for the first time - drooling......

"Looks like we'll have to help my men find a daughter-in-law...... Marin thought.

His subordinates, except for Kohler, are all older than him. However, they haven't found a daughter-in-law yet......

It is no wonder that European male aristocrats have always been late to marriage. In addition to the idea of wanting to waste when you were young, picking and choosing is also an important reason.

Marin's gang of subordinates have been named nobles, so their horizons are naturally high. Civilian women are no longer on their radar. But the problem is that the aristocratic women of East Friesian Lamber are desperately lacking......

When Marin first seized the East Friesian Lambeth, he killed a large number of local nobles and used their families as prostitutes, which made the local nobles seriously lacking. Now, even Geoffrey, the fat daughter of a fat man with a freckled face, has several knights in pursuit, which shows how scarce aristocratic girls are in East Friesian Lambeth......

Moreover, the nobility abroad did not look down on the nobles of the newly rising East Friesian Earl Kingdom, which made it difficult for the barons and knights under Marin to get married. It's not that you can't find a woman, but you can't find the right person...... If you find a commoner to marry, it is a marriage between nobles and nobles, and the children have no inheritance rights......

Therefore, most of Marin's subordinates are still singles......

Now, seeing the graceful Italian beauties, not to mention Karn, many other young officers were drooling and shouting for a reward from Marin......

Marin wondered if when he came back from Vienna would he give his men a share of the spoils and divide the Italian beauty......

As for the principle that nobles do not intermarry? It doesn't matter, anyway, when the time comes, Marin will be the Duke of Egypt. If anyone has a crush on an Italian girl and wants to marry her, yes, then Marin will canonize the girl who is not a nobleman as the baroness and dame of the Duchy of Egypt in the name of the Duke of Egypt...... In short, there will be no handle on the marriage of nobles......

If Marin had canonized those women as the baroness of East Friesland, he might have to give the name of a certain piece of land, which would have been unclear and would have led to a dispute. However, to give an Egyptian barony, Marin himself has not yet obtained Egypt, even if he is awarded the title of Egyptian barony, there is no need to give land, it is just a name, and it is not easy to cause disputes......
