Chapter 1102: Fraud on the Pirate Ship

Dürer wanted to say something, but Kahn was already ready to beat him. As long as Dürer dared to say no, he would immediately knock him out and take him away... No, he would knock him out and stay...
In desperation, Dürer had to agree to stay and serve Marin. Then, at Marin's instructions, Dürer had no choice but to write a letter to his family, asking his family to move all from Nuremberg to Orich.
It should be pointed out that Dürer and his wife Agnes did not seem to be harmonious. Agnes heard that he was a shrew, and Dürer did not like her. Their marriage was also arranged by the family. It seemed that this marriage was arranged by Dürer's father, and the woman was the daughter of Dürer's father's friend.
After marriage, Dürer was not satisfied with his wife, so he was not willing to stay at home. Instead, he ran around, often went to Italy to study, and also traveled to many German cities. Because couples often did not get together, Dürer and his wife had no children.
However, because of the bad relationship with his wife and no children, some people have suspected that Dürer was homosexual or bisexual.
In fact, Dürer just couldn't stand his shrew's wife, and he wasn't really a gay man. Of course, it might be because of his shrew's wife that he was disappointed with the woman.
In this era, ordinary people are unable to divorce. Because divorce requires the approval of the Holy See, or even the consent of the Pope himself. Therefore, in desperation, Dürer could only escape from his fierce shrew's wife.
...
In order to attract Dürer, Marin proposed that as long as Dürer is willing, he could help ask the Pope to allow Dürer to divorce.
Of course, divorce is a big deal and he does not recommend it. So Marin gave Dürer two years to consider it as a cooling-off period. If he still couldn't accept his wife, Marin would ask the Pope to allow Dürer to divorce.
Asking the Pope to make a divorce may be difficult for others, but for Marin, it is just a matter of one sentence. Leonardo da Vinci confirmed Marin's ability. After all, after staying with Marin for so long, Leonardo da Vinci still saw the close relationship between Marin and the current pope.
Moreover, Leonardo da Vinci had long suspected that Angela or Ferris, one of them was related to the Pope. Because these two women spoke Italian. Even if they spoke German, they still had an Italian accent. Others might not be able to hear it, but how could Leonardo da Vinci, an Italian old man?
Dürer heard that he could get a divorce, and he was ecstatic at first, but then hesitated. After all, divorce is not a trivial matter. So he decided to give his wife another chance to observe his performance.
Before, because Dürer was unable to divorce, his wife Agnes was very arrogant and often made trouble for Dürer, a weak man.
But now, with Marin being able to help with the divorce, Dürer believes that Agnes should be able to restrain himself...
...
In order to win over Dürer, Marin directly gave him a noble title of jazz and appointed Dürer as a court painter.
Although this jazz is not hereditary, Dürer is about to follow Marin to the Ming Dynasty, which can calculate the credit. Therefore, it is not difficult to be promoted to hereditary jazz.
The reason I chose Dürer was because in my previous life, Marin was too impressed by Dürer's paintings with his hands and feet like black and white photos. He wrote the portraits of Emperor Zhengde and Eunuch Liu Jin and others must be vivid.
Malin also had a bold idea - he planned to take advantage of Liu Jin's failure to fall and ask Dürer to draw a collective oil painting for Liu Jin, Gu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng, Gao Feng, Luo Xiang and others to draw a collective oil painting and paint all the "Eight Tigers".
In this way, when the history teacher talked about the "Eight Tigers of Zhengde", he could point to the oil paintings drawn by Dürer and say - Look, this is the "Eight Tigers of Zhengde", which is lifelike...
If these oil paintings were treasured, they would be kept for hundreds of years. In the future, even if the Hoffman family lost the throne, they could be exchanged for a lot of money with these precious oil paintings - not to mention the preciousness of their historical image materials, but with the "painted by Master Dürer", the future value will be at least tens of millions of dollars, or even hundreds of millions of dollars...
No, now Marin has colonized America, and there may not be the strongest American in the world in the future, and there may not be the US dollar as the world's common currency...
...
I heard that I was going to the Eastern Ming Dynasty, Dürer was also very excited. He was used to wandering outside and did not reject going abroad. Moreover, going to the distant and mysterious Ming Empire was indeed very attractive to Dürer, the prodigal son.
So, Dürer was easily tricked into the pirate ship by Marin...
...
In order to facilitate Dürer's paintings in the Ming Dynasty, Marin immediately sent people to collect a large number of paints, brushes, brackets and other tools needed to draw oil paintings, so that 10 warships could be brought with them, so as not to be enough for the Ming Dynasty. I didn't bring much paper because this thing was not short of the Ming Dynasty...
In addition to the painting materials, Marin asked the fleet to carry people and goods this time to pay great attention to it.
For example, Marin plans to bring a thousand soldiers and horses this time. Of course, it is not for anyone to fight with, but for the purpose of being a guard of honor. One thousand men and horses wearing bright clothes and playing neatly steadily will definitely blind the little emperor Zhengde's eyes.
In order to facilitate the soldiers' movements, the plate armor worn by these thousand soldiers are all very good. That is, the thin iron "plate armor" cut out of white iron... The soldiers' actions will not be affected when wearing fake plate armor cut out of white iron. They can freely wear iron armor to walk in the queue and show off. If they wear a real 50-pound plate armor, the soldiers will probably be exhausted if they can't walk far.
Of course, you will also bring a real marlin with you. Moreover, you will bring hundreds of sets of full sizes.
The more I brought were given to Emperor Zhengde by Marin. Marin didn't know the height of Emperor Zhengde, so he simply made a full-size plate armor of 1.6 to 1.85 meters. In this way, Zhengde could always pick the one that suits him. Marin didn't believe that Emperor Zhengde's height would jump out of this range...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In addition to plate armor, Marin also asked the fleet to bring 100 knight war horses, which were specially equipped with plate armor. Of course, the riding rifle is also equipped.
It is okay to bring 100 horses with 100 horses. Each ship is 10 horses, just keep it on the top deck. If there is horse manure, it is very convenient to sweep it directly into the sea.
In addition, in order to test the adaptability of these horses to navigation, Marin has long been asked to choose. All the horses that are not suitable for the bumpy sailing at sea were eliminated. The rest are all war horses that can adapt to long-term sailing at sea.
These war horses are about 1.7 meters tall in the shoulders, which are typical heavy war horses. Only such heavy horses can carry knights with full body armor.
Moreover, in China, there are very few tall horses. Mongolian horses with shoulder height of 1.35 meters can be considered "high-headed horses" in the Central Plains. For example, Malin brought 100 shoulder heights of 1.7 meters, which would probably shock the Ming Dynasty. Especially, this is not one or two, but one hundred.
The literati of the Ming Dynasty were used to sitting in sedan chairs and did not know much about horses. And Malin planned to use this absolute "high-headed horse" to scare the officials of the Ming Dynasty. Because such high-headed horses are majestic and majestic... As for the truly powerful Arab horses, Malin didn't bring any. After all, he was to fool literati and gain favor from the Ming Dynasty. As for those warriors who really understood horses, who cares what they thought? Moreover, these horses were indeed war horses, and they were not very fooling...
In addition, the most important thing to give to the Ming Dynasty is probably sweet potatoes. This is an absolutely high-yield crop, and it will definitely be very attractive to the Ming Dynasty, an agricultural country.
However, Sweet Potato Marin decided to bring it from Panama. Sweet Potatoes have been planted there on a large scale, so it is very convenient to get the goods there.
In addition to sweet potatoes, Marin also plans to bring peanuts and corn. These are available in Panama, and the fleet can directly take them from the local area when it is moored there.
