To be honest, Marin despises Maximilian I. You are not strong enough, so what kind of big shots are you pretending to be? If you hadn't said something that was a brainless person when you were young, Maximilian I would not have been contradicted by the entire Germany at all.
Although he became mature and wise when he grew older, he had to pay for it if he was young and frivolous. Since he expressed his desire to unify Germany, most of the princes were wary of him except for the Swabian League and he was united with him to keep warm. He even implicated Marin. After all, Marin started his business with Maximilian I. However, everyone was afraid that Marin would become the thug and pioneer of unifying Germany by Maximilian I, so he also made things difficult for Marin.
If it weren't for this unlucky reason, Marin would have been in the German region long ago, so where would he need to endure? Look at the expansion of Beihai Kingdom. Almost all Marin lured his opponents to hit him first, and then dared to fight back and then annex.
If he hadn't been implicated by the emperor, Malin wouldn't have to worry about it at all, just start to fight directly. At worst, he would join forces and attract a group of people to expand together.
But history has no ifs, so Marin cannot re-select. At the beginning, when he first traveled through time, he was shocked by the emperor's name and surrendered to him foolishly, not studying the emperor's bad diplomatic situation. If he could do it again, he would not be willing to surrender to the emperor who is enemies all over the world.
But now it has come to this point, and it is too late to repent. Therefore, Marin can only try his best to remedy it and also help the unlucky emperor...
Of course, Marin did not do it authentically. Because he destroyed the opportunity for the Habsburg family to unite Spain. So, he and the emperor, the eldest brother did not talk about the second brother, let alone who cheated on each other, they just cheated on each other...
...
Since it is not possible to send troops directly, he can only find a way to support the emperor from other aspects. Marin opened the map and analyzed the situation on the Swiss battlefield in detail. After thinking for a long time, he still planned to support the emperor's musket...
After all, the Habsburg family's army is now at a disadvantage and is in a defensive position. When defending, the role of muskets is very great. Especially when defending the city, there are a group of musketeers on the top of the city, which can make the siege side have no temper.
No matter how fierce the Swiss mercenaries are, they have to retreat when they encounter intensive musket shooting, otherwise they will suffer heavy casualties. Originally, Frenzberg, known as the "father of German mercenaries", in history, broke the myth of Swiss mercenaries by using musketeers in large quantities among German mercenaries.
At present, Frenzberg's army relies on learning from its own Spanish phalanx and using its musket advantage to fight with the fierce Swiss veterans. If it were pure hand-to-hand combat, the fierce Swiss veterans could make the soldiers under Frenzberg kneel down and call them fathers. Even if Marin himself led the veterans of the Beihai Kingdom, he would not dare to say that pure hand-to-hand combat could beat those Swiss veterans.
Therefore, providing enough guns and ammunition to the Habsburg family army is a very good support method.
Not only did he provide muskets and ammunition to the Swiss garrison in Frenzberg, but he also provided muskets and ammunition to Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan, who was hiding in the Mistyre Valley, and his thousands of his men.
After all, the Mistyre Valley is also a dangerous place. If a solid fortress is built and sufficient combs and ammunition is added, it will be difficult for Gudendorf to break through...
...
Thinking of this, Marin immediately arranged to prepare enough combs and ammunition to support the emperor.
The Beihai National Army Factory is currently producing full production. Originally, this was for the militias in the colonial areas. After all, Marin originally planned to let the militias in the colonial areas learn to shoot with the conjunction gun. So, he prepared a lot of conjunction guns, with eight thousand conjunction guns ready, and planned to load ships to the colony.
But considering the emperor's needs, Marin temporarily intercepted the batch of coercive guns and instead sent people to use inland boats to quietly transport them to Basel, controlled by the emperor's army (Basel happened to be the top of the Rhine's navigable).
At the same time, Marin would provide dozens of tons of saltpeter to the emperor and transport it to Basel by ship. In fact, Maximilian I was not unaware of the benefits of guns, but that he was short of saltpeter now...
Currently, saltpeter in Europe is basically taken out by the silt official from the toilets and stables of the people's homes. The amount is very small and not enough. Only the North Sea countries of Spain, Portugal and Marin can buy saltpeter from India.
However, in recent years, the Spanish and Portuguese seem to have become a tacit understanding. They have divided up most of the Indian saltpeter and left only a small share for Marin.
Fortunately, Marin has opened the China route and has begun to develop Chile's saltpeter. Otherwise, the guns and cannons in Beihai will not be enough for gunpowder.
For example, this time, Kong Tai purchased 100,000 kilograms of saltpet from China and transported them back to Beihai Kingdom. 100,000 kilograms of saltpet is 50 tons. Just so Marin gave them to Maximilian I. With these 50 tons of saltpet, three-quarters of the ounce (21.2 grams) of each bullet, the content of saltpet in the gunpowder is 75%... Each time a fire is fired, only 15.9 grams of saltpet... Then, 50 tons of saltpet are enough to fire 3.144 million times... enough to beat the attacking side to the point of urination...
As for sulfur, charcoal and lead bombs, Marin doesn't need to support it. Because these things are everywhere in Europe and are not short of them.
...
Of course, Marin could not publicly support the Emperor's Match Rope and Saltpe. Therefore, when transporting the Match Rope and Saltpe to Basel, Marin would send a grain ship to sell food in the name of selling food. Then, he hid the Match Rope and Saltpe at the bottom of the bilge, and piled up food. In this way, he could hide the eyes and ears of the princes along the way.
Of course, these things are not defeated, but are considered to be borrowed. But Malin did not ask for interest, which gave the emperor enough face. However, His Majesty the Emperor has signed a lot of debts, and whether he can repay them is a question mark. But Malin is not short of that money and will not pursue them. After all, the emperor is his shield, and it is very useful to keep them.
...
In addition, Marin also intends to support His Majesty the Emperor and the Duke of Milan a group of cement and construction workers. Because, Marin learned from his subordinates that the fortifications near the Mistyre Valley and Lucerne seemed not as solid.
Therefore, Marin would send people to support a batch of cement and steel bars, and send a team of engineers to the Mistyre Valley and Lucerne areas to help build a batch of reinforced concrete fortifications and strengthen the defense capabilities of allies.
The reason why Marin sent engineers was not only worried that his allies did not know how to use cement, but also had the intention to keep it confidential. After all, cement is also one of the secrets of the Beihai Kingdom.
