Chapter 1938 Cork Shipyard, Ireland

In fact, Africans are not incapable of training to fight wars. For example, Tanzania in later generations, with the comprehensive help of PLA, was very good, known as African PLA. In the war with Uganda, the African PLA defeated the Ugandan army, including reinforcements from Libya with Soviet-style equipment.

In the final analysis, the black army of later generations was mainly because they had a group of funny officers. The black armies that ran out of bullets and didn't hit a single shot were often tribal armies, not regular armies. At least, the regular army knew to aim to hit. And the black army of the tribe, the AK in exchange for sands or oil, is basically a random sweep, just like the actors who don't understand firearms in Hong Kong films. It's a pity that they don't have the bullets in the hands of those actors in Hong Kong films, and once they run out of bullets, they will be slaughtered......

Moreover, even the regular army in Africa is actually better than the tribal army. They know how to aim and shoot, but once they are ambushed, they are prone to lose control of their emotions and break down, and then flee in all directions. In other words, many African regular armies can only fight against the wind, not against the wind, and have a poor will to fight.

In addition, Africans are really poorly disciplined......

Both ancient and modern, blacks are free and loose. Although they have strong bodies, it's a pity that they are not very obedient, they always like to express themselves, and they love to show off like the brain-damaged young people of later generations. In other words, the brain-damaged young people of later generations are completely derived from the black culture of the United States. For example, hip-hop music is made by old American black people in the slums. And the young people who have learned this set are often difficult to manage all kinds of jokes. Moreover, these people are similar to black people, some of them have off-the-line brains and like to cause trouble. On the contrary, I still feel good about myself......

At the beginning, when Marin sent people to help train the 3,000 black slave soldiers, there were many problems. The 3,000 black slave soldiers were good, at least, they were all strong and honest. In this way, it was a headache for the officers at first, and many whips were broken. In the case of ordinary black youth, it is even more difficult to manage.

In other words, according to Qi Jiguang's selection criteria, normal black youths are the first of the "four don'ts" - disobedient city people......

Of course, there is a difference between the two. Qi Jiguang doesn't want people in the city, because people in the city have seen a lot of the world and have their own ideas. As a result, less obedience to orders. The black youth, on the other hand, is purely itchy, that is, they don't listen to you...... But one thing they have in common is that they are difficult to manage. Therefore, Qi Jiguang simply did not recruit such people......

The 3,000 black slaves selected by Marin were fine, after all, the disobedient ones had already been killed by the black compatriots who captured them as slaves. Those who can survive are obedient and honest. At least, it's relatively obedient and honest.

Therefore, although many whips were drawn, in the end, the 3,000 black slave soldiers at least walked in a decent line. If you don't fight, you can't see any weaknesses.

In addition, on Ezo Island, these black people also have the opportunity to practice their courage and eventually become elite soldiers - fighting those Ezo people is the best way to train soldiers......

The Ezo people say that they are a fishing and hunting nation, but the gap between them and the fishing and hunting people in the Northeast is too big. They can't even defeat the Japanese village chief's name, and it's just right to use it for training.

Moreover, during the battle, those fierce Saurons can also press the battle on the side to avoid the defeat and collapse of the black slave soldiers.

Because of his great strength, Marlin specially designed a suitable combat class for them - sword and shield soldiers......

Sword and shield soldiers don't need many powerful weapons, just one hand and one hand can be single-handed. But a one-handed shield requires a lot of arm strength, so many people are not suitable. However, these 3,000 black slaves are all physically strong, but they are capable of fighting with a wooden shield in one hand.

In the face of the Ezo people, who used earthen bows and arrows, and did not even have iron arrows, these black slave soldiers with wooden shields in one hand and wooden chips and armor on their bodies could barely resist it. Moreover, every time he went out in battle, there were Saurons who pressed the battle on the side, and they did not worry about failure.

In this way, after a few battles with the Ezo tribal warriors, these black slave soldiers will gradually adapt to the battlefield and develop the courage to fight. In addition, he was honest and obedient, but he was also a good defender and guard soldier.

And with these 3,000 "Kunlun Nu warriors" as a façade, they can also fool the Japanese court, that is, the envoys sent by the Muromachi shogunate to verify the situation.

Although the prestige of the Muromachi shogunate was completely lost after the Onin War, the whole of Japan fell into an era of chaos. However, the Kyoto region, including the puppet emperor, was still in the hands of the Muromachi shogunate.

Of course, the Muromachi shogunate is not currently in the hands of the Ashikaga clan, but in the hands of the Hosokawa clan and the Ouchi Yoshiko, who supported Ashikaga Yoshiue's seizure of power. And the emperor is even more miserable, he has been on the throne for more than ten years, and there is no money to hold an enthronement ceremony until now. Historically, the current Emperor Go-Kashiwahara ascended the throne in 1500 and did not have the money to hold an enthronement ceremony until 1521. The reason why he was able to hold the enthronement ceremony was because the Echizen Provincial Daimyo Asakura clan donated 500 kan of gold, so that Emperor Kashiwahara, the empress of the poor Biten, had the money to hold the enthronement ceremony.

And 500 is only how much? It is equivalent to five hundred taels of silver. For a local tyrant like Marin, he can come out with 10,000 taels of silver at will......

Therefore, in order to be recognized by Emperor Kibi, Marin prepared 10,000 taels of silver, so that Emperor Kashiwahara would not be tempted. As long as he is willing to sign the edict, Nobunaga will be able to get the legal status of the Ming Dynasty, and then have the capital to participate in the princes' struggle for hegemony.

In addition, several bigwigs of the Muromachi Shogunate, who also control the Kyoto area, also need to be bribed. After all, Emperor Go-Kashiwahara's edict could not be issued without their approval.

Therefore, Marin also prepared a lot of gifts and money for the Hosokawa clan and the Ouchi clan. For the Muromachi shogunate, who couldn't afford to hold hundreds of ceremonies, the money that Marin could sell could make them tempted by anything.

Money really can't impress them, and Marin can also provide a batch of leather armor inlaid with iron sheets made of old leather from the Northeast in exchange for their recognition.

You know, although the Muromachi shogunate declined, it could no longer control the daimyo in Japan. However, the bigwigs of the shogunate still have the ambition to re-command the world. Give them a batch of leather armor inlaid with iron sheets that is convenient for battle, and they will do what they like.

……

In the midst of all these thoughts, Marin put Suha, Balhu, and Glock on the ship to Panama. They were to travel overland from the port of Colón on the north shore of Panama to Panama City on the south coast, where they would change ships to Keelung, where they would be escorted north by the Conté fleet......

After sending a few people away, before Marin could drink a saliva, Kohler personally reported that the shipyard in Port Cork, Ireland had been completed......
