Tagfacht and Heisenberg each recommended their subordinates. Marin chatted with the two, but through the chat, Marin discovered that although these two people have a high level of education and are very eloquent, they have a fatal disadvantage - that is, they look down on people...
From these two guys, Marin saw the strange sense of superiority of "I am from a big city, you are all rural guys" in the later generations of Xiangjiang monk Hairen.
It is undeniable that Lubeck and Hamburg are the two richest cities in Germany at this time. Therefore, locals are inevitably a little proud. However, being so proud that they are "black in the region" is a brainless person.
Facing a powerful count like Marin who holds heavy troops, although these two men were respectful on the surface, the trace of disdain in their eyes was captured by Marin. Obviously, Marin was regarded as a "landbuster" by them...
Of course, Marin would not be angry with these two people for this. However, Marin knew better that if these two "regional blacks" were allowed to run to the Crimean Khanate, perhaps they would despise the barbaric Crimean Khan. If Mongogirekhan discovered this, all efforts would be ruined.
The mission to the Crimean Khanate is so important that it almost affects the destiny of Eastern European countries and the life and death of Sweden. Therefore, Marin had to be cautious.
However, Marin could not come up with a better candidate now. Because Marin worked hard from the bottom after all, and there was a lack of talents around him. Later, through winning and cultivating, he obtained a group of internal affairs talents. However, diplomatic talents have never been cultivated. Several alliances were made by Marin himself.
"Do you want me to take action yourself again this time?" Marin couldn't help but start thinking about the possibility of his own.
Obviously, the Island of Zeland is now under the control of the coalition forces, and the Danish waters are also under the control of the joint fleet. In this case, the overall situation has basically been decided. The only need is that the coalition forces need to capture Copenhagen.
However, after the Danes built the big iron gate, the method of quickly breaking the city was no longer available, so they had to use stupid methods. If they used stupid methods, it doesn't matter whether there was Marin or not. Although Schwartz is not as smart as Marin, it is considered to be a normal rule. It is not a big problem to command the army to use traditional methods to break the city.
So, Marin finally made up his mind that he would go to the Crimean Khanate himself, strive to buy Mongogirekhan, and make him strike a counterattack and sneak attack the rear of the Grand Duchy of Moscow.
When Marin told Tagfaht and Heisenberg his thoughts, both speakers were surprised:
"Mr. Marin, are you not kidding?"
In fact, their subtext is - you are so powerful in wars, are you also very diplomatic?
"That's right, actually, I know Tatar..." Marin has learned a lot of Tatar with his brothers Morigen and Bater in recent years, and it is enough for communication.
After all, Morigen and Bater served as court doctors in the Golden Horde court for a long time, and it was necessary to speak Tatar. Marin's memory became very good after traveling through time. After learning with the two for a few years, he could speak fluent Tatar and write.
In theory, the official language of the Golden Horde should be Mongolian. However, with the integration of the Golden Horde and the locals in Eastern Europe, it gradually became Turkic. The official language also gradually changed from Mongolian to the later Tatar, which is the Tatar spoken by China.
The official language of the Crimean Khanate is naturally Tatar. Marin learned Tatar, which can be used to communicate with the Crimeans.
Tagfaht and Heisenberg had nothing to say. Facing Marin, the "academic master" who even knew Tatar, they had nothing to say. Although the two subordinates they recommended were good at speaking, they did not understand Tatar. Originally, they planned to go to the Teutonic Kingdom to see if they hired a talent who could speak Tatar. After all, the Teutonic Kingdom had close contacts with Eastern European countries and was also a German-speaking country. There, there should be a talent for relevant languages. Unexpectedly, Marin, the "academic master", jumped out. As a great noble and general, he actually said that he could speak Tatar. Is this considered cross-border?
The two young officials recommended by their respective speakers were also ashamed. Unexpectedly, the "reckless man" they secretly looked down upon was so powerful that they could suppress them in language - who told them not to understand the obscure language of Tatar...
In this way, Marin's identity as a main envoy was immediately determined, and the young officials recommended by Lubeck and Hamburg were sent to the Crimean Khanate together as deputy envoys. On the one hand, these two young people need to supervise the whole process so as to report back; on the other hand, the two Speakers of the Grand Secretariat also hoped that the two of them would learn from Marin humbly. After all, they were highly qualified and were young officials trained by the two cities.
Next, Marin and the two Grand Speakers jointly wrote a diplomatic document and handed it over to Marin. As for the gold coins, they were first taken from the gold and silver coins seized by the front-line troops, and then the two cities made up for it.
Of course, to go to the Crimean Khanate, you have to go through the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which is also an important target for the three families to win over. Therefore, the three drafted another diplomatic document to use Marin to lead the team to visit the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. If possible, it would be good to persuade the Grand Duchy of Lithuania to send troops. Of course, it is said that the current Grand Duchy of Lithuania Alexander is a soft man, and it is a bit difficult to ask him to send troops on his own initiative. But if Crimea took the lead and followed him to get a bargain, this guy should still understand.
Moreover, after meeting with the Grand Council of Lithuania, even if the other party did not send troops, it would be fine to issue a customs clearance document to ensure that the delegation was unobstructed in Lithuania.
You should know that the Grand Duchy of Lithuania is still quite powerful, and it also controls most parts of Ukraine and directly connects to the Crimean Khanate. As long as you pass through the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, you will reach your territory in the Crimean Khanate.
Because of Marin's special identity, he naturally could not be equipped with a limited number of guards like ordinary regiments. For this reason, Schwartz specially selected 100 black-shirted knights, plus 100 scouts from Schal as accompanying guards.
Sauer's scouts were equipped with telescopes at this time, and their reconnaissance capabilities were very strong. It was difficult to succeed if they wanted to ambush Marin's team. Moreover, these 100 scouts would also release secret sentries at night to guard against the enemy's night attacks. In this way, Marin's safety during his mission can be fully guaranteed.
As for the 100 black-shirted knights, they are professionally good at fighting the chased plate-armored knights and infantry. Although they may not have an advantage against the Tatar archers, there is no problem to hold the enemy and let Marin escape.
After getting ready, Marin boarded the ship with two deputy envoys and 200 subordinates. They did not bring horses because it was very inconvenient to load and transport the horses. Therefore, the fleet only loaded people and 100,000 gold coins. When we arrived at Corniesburg, the capital of the Teutonic Kingdom, Marin could borrow hundreds of horses from Philip, the ally of the leader of the Teutonic Knights. Moreover, it was not too far from Corniesburg to Vilnius, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. This road was very smooth.
