The effect of rye Erguotou is gratifying. After Marin summoned his civil and military ministers, he went directly to rye Erguotou at about 40 degrees.
Civilian officials are not interested in this kind of spirits and do not seem to like it very much. However, those vulgar officers like this kind of spirits very much. According to the big boss Kahn, "the soldiers must like this kind of spirits that are strong enough." Moreover, this kind of liquor is not as good as it is...
Although civil servants don’t like to drink very much, Marin was eager to know the effect, so he tried his best to persuade him to drink. As a time traveler who was used to drinking 56 degrees Erguotou in later generations, Marin was still very adaptable to this kind of spirit. Moreover, he was a thief, added some boiled water to the bottle of wine he drank, diluting the degree to about 20 degrees.
In this way, Marin frequently toasted his civil servants and generals with a 20-degree weakened version of rye Erguotou. Faced with the boss' toast, the civil servants had to do it no matter how unhappy they were. The generals were not unhappy, and the stupid guys like Kahn were even more happy.
Then, after several rounds, the civil servants were the first to flee, lying down, and a few were drunk. However, the civil servants who were drunk were very unlucky and were knocked unconscious by Mr. Kahn's quick hand knife...
The generals continued to drink, but they were not better than the civil servants for a few rounds. Then, they lay down one by one. Some were drunk and still knocked out by the violent Kahn's knife on the back of his neck...
In the end, only the cheating Marin and Kahn were still standing. But at this time, Marin was actually a little drunk. Seeing that Kahn still didn't care at all, Marin gave up...
The test results were gratifying. After testing, Marin concluded that most people can be knocked down by rye Erguotou...
The next day, Malin also made an enhanced version of Erguotou - Erguotou with honey...
Afterwards, he brought his brothers to drink. Then, the generals liked it very much. Rye Erguotou plus honey, which is the honey wine that only exists in the legendary heaven (it is said that in the Valhalla of the Supreme God of Norse, those ancient Germanic warriors fought during the day and drank honey wine at night)... Then, these fools did not use Marin to persuade him to drink, and they drank it directly. Only the God of Baccarn, and Schwartz, did not drink it. Because Kahn was not drunk, while Schwartz did not force him to drink, because Marin did not force him to drink, he controlled himself and did not drink too much...
With this experiment, Marin finally strengthened his mind - add honey to rye Erguotou, drink the natives...
However, the price of honey is very high, and Marin plans to use sucrose to replace honey in the future. However, at this stage, what makes Marin laugh and cry is that in the European market, the current prices of honey and sucrose are similar. Even the price of sucrose is higher. Perhaps, it is because honey can be produced locally, while sucrose can only be produced in southern Europe...
Marin tried it and added brown sugar to the rye Erguotou. It seemed to be a good effect. Anyway, for Europeans in this era, let alone sugar is not good for health, nobility rarely eats sugar. When it comes to sweet taste, everyone likes it. As for the natives, that's even more so...
Marin's plan was to let his soldiers bring wine to the indigenous people. However, his subordinates drank low-alcohol wine mixed with water, while the indigenous people were all genuine strong wine. Just like he cheated against his generals, he was not easy to get drunk, but he was easy to get drunk. After getting drunk, he would do whatever he wanted...
...
Of course, these are all means of care for the care. If the means of care for the care for the care for the care for the sake of care, it also requires combat. Therefore, Marin still needs strong military strength.
But the problem is that on the plain, the tens of thousands of troops under Malin were invincible. But when they got into the jungle, the number of troops was useless. Without people familiar with the jungle, there were many people who could only be attacked by the enemy's cold arrows and traps.
However, the areas that Marin will conquer next, whether it is Cuba Island, the east coast of North America, and Taiwan Island, the future foothold in the Ming Dynasty, are all jungle-covered places. To conquer these areas, an elite army that is adapted to jungle warfare must be trained.
Otherwise, we could only learn the British colonized North America - slowly advance into the jungle by cutting trees. But this method was very passive. In the early days, the British colonized the east coast of North America, and could only cut trees first and then build a castle. Then, they hid in the castle, waiting for the Indians in the jungle to attack... They had to be very passive...
If there was an army proficient in jungle combat, then they could successfully remove powerful Indian tribes such as the Iroquoi Alliance and march inland early.
In fact, in the 17th century, the British colonization could only be limited to establishing a foothold near the estuary on the east coast, and could not go deeper. It was not until the number of immigrants reached millions, and the large number of militias spontaneously formed by immigrants gradually defeated the Indians.
However, this also brought serious problems - the Americans' habit of holding guns began at that time. The militia who finally overthrew the British colonists were also those who were used to fighting the Indians. Even the quick loading method of muskets wrapped in grease-soaked rags and deer-skins was invented by militias in North American colonies.
The strength of local forces in the colonies eventually led to the emergence of rebellious forces. Therefore, Marin's plan was to try to limit the colonies' own force in the future. Even local hunters were only allowed to have a slightly behind clamp or bow or arrow, and they would never allow individuals to have advanced weapons such as flintlock guns and clockwork muskets, so as to maintain the official advantage over the civilian equipment and avoid the colonies' independence.
Moreover, with the jungle combat troops, the colonial army can take the initiative to attack and clean up the Indians hiding in the jungle. In this way, there is no need for colonial sites to form militias to defend themselves. In this way, the colonial people will have no reason to hold a large number of guns.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! At present, Marin only has 300 musketeers from the Black Forest hunters selected from the army and 300 sword and shield soldiers from the Black Forest residents selected from the army.
Such an armed force can certainly defeat a tribe because of its equipment advantages. However, there are so many tribes on the east coast of North America. Do you expect all 600 people to sweep them?
Not to mention the east coast of North America, even the Taino tribes in the jungle on Cuba Island, these 600 people didn't have time to clean up. After all, they could not divide their troops. Otherwise, they would not have enough strength to crush their opponents. With this team, it would be difficult to clean up the indigenous tribes on Cuba Island in a short time.
So, after thinking about it for a while, Marin decided to send people to the Black Forest to recruit those young hunters to join the army, and let them deal with the natives hiding in the jungle - the Taino people of Cuba, the Indians on the East Coast of North America, and the alpine people on the island of Taiwan...
At present, the black forest is not the black forest in later generations. In later generations, due to the explosion of the German population, many forests have actually been reclaimed into farmland. The last thing left is mainly the black forest in the mountainous areas. But even so, by the 21st century, the total area of ​​the black forest reached about 6,000 square kilometers.
Now, because Germany has a population of only a few million, not as exaggerated as 80 million in later generations, many plains still belong to the black forest. Therefore, the area of ​​the black forest is estimated to exceed 10,000 square kilometers. In the jungle, it is avoided a large number of mountain people who escape the oppression and exploitation of the nobles. They mainly make a living by hunting, but they dare not easily enter towns to sell prey, so life is more difficult.
The conditions offered by Marin are that any young and strong person with rich jungle hunting experience joins the army as he wishes, his daily salary is as high as 5 Finney, which is 2.5 times that of ordinary people...
As long as thousands of hunters from the Black Forest could be recruited, Marin could form several (or even a dozen) colonial armies, go deep into the jungle, and attack the indigenous people.
Among them, those who are not afraid of heat can be sent to Cuba and Taiwan Island. Those who are afraid of heat can also stay in the temperate areas of the east coast of North America to deal with the Indians there...
These jungle hunters in the black forest use rich forest survival and hunting experience. By their way, it is difficult for those Indians living in the jungle to resist. After all, both tactics and equipment, the indigenous people are at an absolute disadvantage. In addition, the elderly, the weak, sick and disabled are dragged down, and it is difficult not to fail...
