After fooling the Saxons, Marin sent someone to inform Charles II, Duke of Guedes, that the target was dead, but the killer was surrounded and killed.
However, Marin asked the messenger to express his anger to Charles II - why did the killer have a fake East Friesian army identity brand?
After receiving the news from Marin, Charles II was stunned at first, but soon became happy - since the target was dead, he would rest assured. As for the issue of framed Marin, Charles II hypocritically stated that it was the killer's personal habit. Whenever country he went to, he would make a fake identity brand by himself, and it had nothing to do with him...
If Marin had really not known it, he would probably be pissed off by this explanation. In fact, Marin had already turned the blame back to Charles II. This question was actually just a cover-up of the truth that he betrayed the two killers.
In addition, Marin is going to send troops eastward, and at this time, he must appease Charles II, Duke of Gedes. If the opponent takes advantage of his troops to attack East Friesland, although the 10,000 militias can defend several main cities, the countryside will definitely be ravaged by the opponent. After all, the militia will definitely lose in the field and can only shrink to defend in the city to offset the difference in combat effectiveness.
Therefore, Marin is still with Charles II, the Duke of Geders, who is afraid that the other party will stab him in the back during the war. When the war in the east is resolved and then looking back, Marin hopes that the other party will provoke him, and he can also counterattack as a "victim"...
...
When the spring plowing work was over, good news came from Cape Breton Island, North America - Garland sent people to control Cornerbrook, on the western coast of Newfoundland, which was marked by Marin.
It turned out that after Marin ordered the control of Newfoundland Island and the order to find the Bakens lead and zinc mine was issued, Garland immediately sent someone to compare the map given by Marin and began to search for the Cornerbrook area.
Soon, after several comparisons, Garland's subordinates found Konabrook. What surprised Garland was that there were no natives in the Konabrook area...
Why? The Konabrook area is a coastal trek along the western coast of Newfoundland. Originally, there was indeed an indigenous tribe mainly fishing.
However, the Newfoundland fishery is not in the western part of Newfoundland, but in the east, southeast and northeastern waters. It is mainly a special environment generated after the intersection of Atlantic warm currents and Labrador cold currents, forming a world-class fishery. The fjords in the western part of Newfoundland are not at the intersection of ocean currents, and the natural fishery resources are not as good as those in the east and southeastern waters of Newfoundland and northeastern waters.
Therefore, a fishing village that was originally engaged in fishing here moved to the southeastern coast of Newfoundland. So, when the people sent by Garland arrived, they only saw an abandoned fishing village...
In fact, there are not many fishing resources in the bay near Konabrook. Of course, it cannot be compared with the large fishing grounds east of Newfoundland Island. The local indigenous people have lagging behind in fishing methods and the fishing success rate is not high. Therefore, they prefer the fish in Newfoundland fishing grounds where fish can automatically jump into canoes and are more favorable to fishing places.
In addition, the Gulf of St. Lawrence near Conabrook is blocked by Cape Breton Island. Therefore, the harbor here is not a freezing port. When the temperature drops to a certain extent, that is, in winter, once the temperature is too low, the bay area will freeze, affecting fishing.
The local native Indians did not have large fishing nets or large fishing boats, and the fishing volume was limited and they could not store enough fish for the winter. Therefore, every winter, people in the fishing villages were always hungry. Only the coastal areas of the southeast, which were fully affected by the North Atlantic warm current and did not freeze in winter, were suitable for Indian indigenous fishermen who had low fishing efficiency.
Therefore, after the fishermen auditioned the new place on the southeast coast of Newfoundland, they picked up the village to take canoe and moved away collectively along the coastline, leaving only an abandoned fishing village...
Coincidentally, this abandoned fishing village is located in the later generations where Connabrook is located...
The people of Garland soon took this fishing village as their destination, landed in and started building a stronghold, and sent people to inquire about whether there were other tribes in it.
But to their disappointment, there seemed to be no tribes nearby...
No wonder, on Newfoundland at this time, the total number of Beotuks may not exceed 10,000. Newfoundland is 110,000 square kilometers, so the population is mostly concentrated in the southeast coastal areas. In addition, there are also some locals in the inland mountainous areas who make a living by grazing, but they are relatively small.
In this way, Garland's subordinates successfully built a small castle in Cornerbrook. In the early days, they only built a small bunker. Later, they gradually expanded and became the size of the town.
When a group of English immigrants arrived at Cape Breton Island, Garland thought about it and transferred 1,000 people to Connerbrook, where they built settlements for English immigrants and surrounded the city walls.
In order to prevent these English immigrants from freezing to death, Garland promoted adobe houses in Cornerbrook and promoted a firewood that was more comfortable than a fireplace...
Although the fireplace is also warm, it needs to be close to it to keep warm. The earthen kang is different. After burning, you can lie on the kang and sleep comfortably. Moreover, the stove and chimney of the earthen kang are outside the house. According to Marin's original statement, it is safer to cry than to cry. Because even if carbon monoxide is not completely burned, it will disappear outside and will not enter the house.
Of course, the chance of carbon monoxide is also small. The main reason is that the fireplace mainly burns wood, not coal. Whoever dares to burn coal in the house and then closes the doors and windows is definitely looking for death...
There are so many timber resources on Newfoundland, and there are some immigrants in England who are good at logging and carpentry. As a result, they become the main laborers for immigrants to make furniture.
Fortunately, there is enough food on Cape Breton Island in Garland, so I am not afraid of the English immigrants starving to death. If there is insufficient food, you can also ask the local mobilization...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The activities of thousands of immigrants in England are very concentrated and frequent, and soon, the surrounding areas around Konabrook were affected by these immigrants.
This time, Garland sent people to announce the good news to Marin because some of the immigrants discovered a huge limestone mine in the nearby mountains...
Before, Marin had specially instructed Garland to send people to find limestone mines near Conabrook. This is very important because limestone is the main raw material for cement production. As long as the limestone mine is found here, Marin can move the cement plant to Conabrook.
There is a large limestone mine near Konabrook, and it is not far from the Sydney coal mine on Cape Breton Island. Just find a clay area nearby and start producing cement on a large scale...
As for the cement plant, it is a remote place like Newfoundland, so what if it’s...
Moreover, this place is hidden enough. Even if ships from other countries pass by, they usually pass the east of Newfoundland Island, rather than the fjords to the west.
When Marin learned that the large limestone mine in Konabrook was discovered, he was overjoyed. So he ordered the cement factory to start to divide some craftsmen, intending to move to Konabrook to build a new cement factory.
In the future, when cement production is produced, Marin plans to put it on Konabrook. Anyway, there is sufficient raw materials there. At most, Marin buys enough fluorite in Europe and sends it as a catalyst for producing cement. The demand for fluorite as a catalyst is not large.
