Chapter 1610: Closing the Mountain, Searching the Mountain, and Setting Fire to the Mountain
Zoos are a good idea, not to mention the 16th century, when there was a severe lack of entertainment, but even in the 21st century, zoos are a great place for tourists.
Although people in the 21st century can see tigers, lions and other beasts on TV and online, everyone is happy to have the opportunity to see them with their own eyes. Especially children who are very curious will definitely enjoy going to the zoo.
Of course, it seems that there is not enough variety to exhibit fearsome animals such as Amazonian pythons, piranhas, forest snakes, crocodiles, and jaguars. Therefore, Marin will also send people to Africa to catch elephants, lions, giraffes, ostriches, zebras, camels, orangutans and other animals to enrich the zoo's breed.
One can imagine what kind of sensation it would have caused when these exotic animals appeared on the European continent. In particular, there is no entertainment in these days. Then, a visit to the zoo becomes a very good entertainment. When the time comes, I'm afraid that I will receive a soft hand when I buy tickets and collect money......
Marin was worried that what he thought would be different from reality, so he also asked the ministers and Caesar and other children. As a result, most of the ministers said they would be willing to visit the zoo. After all, those legendary exotic animals are also quite curious.
On the children's side, whether it is Caesar or Robert, including Ma Yun and Ma Li and other children, without exception, they all expressed their very, very much expectation for this. Because, children's curiosity is much heavier than adults'. It is foreseeable that once the zoo is built, the little ones will definitely pester the adults to ask to go to the zoo to play.
As for the problem of tropical animals not adapting to the climate in temperate zones, Marin plans to build glass greenhouses and build stoves in them to keep them warm when it is cold. In addition, the lower part of the layer is equipped with iron railings to prevent the beasts from escaping and hurting people.
……
In fact, in addition to exhibiting the beasts, Marin also plans to catch a few cannibal Indians in the Amazon jungle. Then, take it back to the zoo exhibit.
After all, the book is too unconvincing, and Marin plans to deliberately arrange a few cannibal Indians in the zoo in Lisbon to perform cannibalism in front of everyone......
Specifically, starve a few cannibal Indians for two days. Then, throw an old and weak river into which they are not a tribe of Indians, and let them kill it, and eat it in public......
Only when the Europeans saw with their own eyes that those Indians were eating people would they feel fear and fear......
Of course, this kind of thing can't be done too deliberately, and you have to pretend that you have accidentally sent someone from another tribe in. Therefore, in this matter, there must be a "temporary worker" who comes out to take the blame and admits the "mistake". In this way, the Beihai Kingdom will not be blamed...... In particular, it cannot be blamed by the church......
……
Just as Marin was planning how to further frighten the people of Europe so that he could monopolize the American continent, the encirclement and suppression of the Northern Route Army of the Hungarian peasant rebel army in the northern mountains of Hungary in the south also entered the final stage.
At first, the army was a little helpless about the remnants of the peasant rebel army that had retreated into the mountains scattered. But later, after Wagner, the commander of the Second Army Corps of the North Sea State, proposed to block the crossroads of various mountain roads with pillboxes, the remnants of the Northern Route Army of the Hungarian peasant rebel army were very sad.
These bunkers are very hateful, because they are built high and have a very good view, which makes it easy to monitor the situation on the various mountain roads. Moreover, because of the existence of the beacon tower on the top of the pillbox, it is very convenient for the officers and soldiers to support each other. As long as the wolf smoke is together, nearby reinforcements will soon arrive to jointly suppress the remnants of the rebel army's Northern Route Army.
Later, no remnants of the Hungarian peasant rebel army dared to come out of the mountains to find supplies. Because, after coming out, it is difficult to go back safely......
However, the mountainous areas of northern Hungary are not highly developed at this time, and there are many wildlife resources. If you have good hunting skills, it is difficult to starve to death.
Therefore, some of the remnants of the rebel army simply stayed in the mountains and forests and lived hunting. In this way, he will not starve to death. In particular, now that summer is underway, the mountains and forests are rich in animals and birds, and as long as you have a bow and arrow in your hand, it is basically difficult to starve to death. At most, other daily necessities are very difficult to obtain.
When Wagner learned about this, he reversed the knowledge of guerrilla warfare he had learned from Marin, and then ...... He learned the tactics of suppressing the "reactionaries" of the guerrillas - closing mountains, searching mountains, and burning mountains......
Among them, Wagner has already done it. The bunker with the beacon tower was an artifact used to seal the mountain, making it difficult for the remnants of the peasant rebel army in the mountain to obtain food and daily necessities. But if you want to completely destroy the enemy, you still have to search the mountain and burn the mountain......
Wagner was not sure about this, so he sent a message to Marin to ask Marin how to suppress the guerrillas in the mountains......
Marin was planning the zoo, but after receiving a letter from Wagner, he also seriously helped to find a way. In the end, Marin's advice was to send the old hunters from the local mountains, and enough hunting dogs, as guides, to lead the German mountain warriors of the Second Army into the mountains to search the mountains and exterminate the remnants of the Hungarian peasant army.
These old local hunters are absolutely clear about the terrain in the mountains. With them leading the way, it shouldn't be a big problem. Of course, there are also people who will not sincerely lead the way and take you around in circles in the mountains. Or, deliberately pointing you to the wrong road. Xiang Yu, the famous overlord of Western Chu, wanted to cross the river to Jiangdong by the Wujiang River after breaking through from the wall. As a result, the old farmer deliberately pointed the wrong way, delayed his escape, and was finally caught up by Han Xin's army......
Therefore, the advice given by Marin is to specifically select those old hunters who have children and grandchildren, and tell them that if they lead the way, there will be rewards, and if they do not lead the way, the children and grandchildren will die......
The old hunter who has children and grandchildren to worry about will definitely not dare to mess around. Otherwise, the children and grandchildren will be implicated. And with the guidance of the local old hunters who dare not mess around, it will also be much more convenient to suppress the army of the uprising.
……
As for setting fire to the mountain, Marin was very resistant. After all, it's easy to start a wildfire. However, considering that it is summer, the forest is relatively wet. If you want to start a forest fire, it seems to be more difficult.
Therefore, Marin's advice is to try to avoid burning those large forests that are connected to each other, so as not to spread out of control.
However, if you encounter a small area of jungle alone, as long as it is proved that there are people hiding in the jungle, you can set fire to the mountain and force out the remnants of the Hungarian peasant rebel army hiding in it.
Back then, in order to force out Jie Zitui, who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, Duke Wen of Jin did the immoral thing of setting fire to the mountain. As a result, the fire was set too hard and the meson was burned to death......
Of course, Jin Wengong was looking for people, and the purpose of the Hungarian officers and troops was to destroy the remnants of the enemy, and the purpose of the two was not the same at all. Jin Wengong was sad because he burned Jie Zitui, and if the remnants of the Hungarian peasant rebel army were burned to death, the officers and soldiers would not be sad, but happy.
Marin's advice for burning the mountains is to try to avoid separate jungles and many continuous forests. If you really want to burn those large forests, you can send people to cut down trees on the periphery, cut out the isolation zone first, and then burn the mountains. In this way, the spread of fire can be avoided as much as possible......
……
Under the persecution of Wagner's special methods of the three "reactionaries", namely, mountain closure, mountain search, and mountain burning, the remnants of the Northern Route Army of the peasant army, hidden in the mountainous areas of northern Hungary, became more and more difficult to survive and were not far from extinction......
