Henry VII is still ignorant of Marlin, Louis XII and Edward want to join forces to attack England. Now, Henry VII is also planning to send troops north to retake several northern counties in England...
In fact, Henry VII originally planned to send troops north to regain control of several northern counties last year. However, the "Robin Hood Robber Group" and other thieves suddenly appeared, and the activities of several central counties in several central counties disrupted Henry VII's plan to recover the north.
Henry VII dispatched a large army to encircle and suppress the disharmonious organizations that destroyed several central counties such as the Robin Hood Robbers Group. However, several stupid thieves were wiped out by Henry VII's army. Unfortunately, the backbone of resistance organizations such as the "Robin Hood Robbers Group" used extremely classic guerrilla tactics such as "the enemy advances and we retreats and we disturb them, the enemy is tired, and we fight them, and the enemy retreats and we chase them." The English official army was extremely uncomfortable. In addition, the "Robin Hood Robbers Group" was good at hiding and seeking in the forest, which made the official army return in failure after several encirclements and suppression, and instead suffered a lot of losses.
Therefore, last year, Henry VII wasted all his energy on dealing with the thieves in several central counties and really didn't have the energy to go north. However, recently, Henry VII, who was very troubled, officially decided to temporarily give up the encirclement and suppression of the "Robin Hood Robbers" who were good at drilling into the woods. He decided to bypass them first and send troops north to recover the northern counties. When the problems of the northern counties are solved, we will turn back to solve these thieves.
As for the time to go north, Henry VII also positioned May after the end of spring plowing. Because, when mobilizing a large army to go north, many farmers needed to be recruited to accompany him. Moreover, many regular army soldiers also had to go home to help during spring plowing. In order not to delay spring plowing, and with climate reasons, the few months from May to before autumn harvest are indeed the best time to start a war.
However, Henry VII was not sure that while he was about to send troops north, his opponents had joined forces and prepared to destroy him...
...
When Marin was preparing to invade England, he suddenly heard from the winery that surprised him - when Rye Erguotou was selling in Eastern Europe, it was very popular...
In fact, Marin's rye Erguotou was not very popular when it was promoted in Germany. Because the Germans like beer too much. As for white wine, there are many people who like it, but it is not common enough. Because many people still like beer more. Only some rough men, such as those who serve in the army, like this high-level wine. Because many mercenaries have a lot of mental pressure and like to get drunk. It is too difficult to get drunk when drinking beer, and it is not as effective as getting drunk. However, rye Erguotou is different. A small bottle is enough to knock down many people. Those mercenaries who rely on alcohol to paralyze themselves very much like this tone...
But this kind of liquor has encountered trouble in promoting it among the nobles...
Why? Most nobles pay attention to elegance and like to drink wine. Most nobles do not like too strong liquor. Only those nobles at the bottom, the knight, prefer white wine because of their rough personality...
As for the missionaries, the market is even more unopened. Those priests either drink "holy blood" (red wine) or beer, and there are not many people who like to drink white wine...
In desperation, Marin had to send someone to Eastern Europe to explore the market. He remembered that the Russians in Eastern Europe liked to drink strong alcohol...
So, the full-time salesperson took a large number of rye Erguotou to eastern Europe...
Now, the news they feedback shows that men in Eastern Europe really like to drink strong alcohol...
Needless to say, the Russians are definitely in line with their appetite. The salesmen who went to the Grand Principal of Moscow were very successful and the rye Erguotou they brought was sold out. Not only that, many Russians who did not buy rye Erguotou were also very angry and sent salesmen to be beaten up in unlucky because they had no wine to sell...
The salesman sent to Poland, and the feedback was also good. The main reason is that the winter in Poland is also very cold. Although it is a neighbor of Germany, the climate is still quite different, between the climate between Germany and Russia.
Therefore, the Poles and Lithuanians in the east are also close to the Russians and like to drink strong alcohol. However, the Poles in the west are close to the Germans and like to drink beer...
However, the team sent to the Crimean Khanate to promote rye Erguotou was beaten by the locals...
Why? Because the Crimean Khanate converted to Allah's teachings. According to the rules of the canon, drinking is not allowed...
But the problem is that the Crimeans have the habit of Mongolians... So, the Erguotou salesman who was beaten during the day was secretly sent by Mongkogirekhan to the palace at night. Then, he brought 100 bottles of rye Erguotou as a sample, and all of them were bought out by the Crimean Khan...
This is not the end. After the sales team left the palace, they were forcibly invited by the real power factions of the Crimean Khanate...
After all, it is Mongolian. Although it is not allowed to drink openly because of the reason of converting to Allah's religion, you can drink secretly... These savage men on the grassland will feel uncomfortable if they don't drink...
Therefore, although it was condemned by the people of the Crimean Khanate on the surface, it was privately received a large number of Erguotou orders, which made people laugh and cry...
Of course, these Crimeans have no money to buy wine. So, they proposed to exchange livestock for wine... For example, a cow for 3 bottles of Erguotou...
In fact, the purchase price of a cow Marin from the Crimean Khanate is 8 gold coins, which is converted into 480 Finney, and you can buy 480 pounds of rye. The wine production rate of Erguotou is about 40%, and a bottle of Erguotou weighs only one pound, and the rye consumed by three bottles of Erguotou is up to 7.5 pounds... In short, the Crimeans have suffered a lot...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! However, because Marin masters the exclusive secret technique of brewing Erguotou, and cattle and sheep are not valuable in the Crimean Khanate. Therefore, the Crimean Khanate, who does not know the market, has paid a high price for this...
I heard that three bottles of Erguotou can be exchanged for a cow, Marin was so happy that he was very willing to do such a business with these stupid hats in Crimea.
As for the Russians, they are not as easy to fool as the Crimeans, but because they are exclusive business, they can be sold very expensively. The cost of rye Erguotou is at most three or five bottles of Finney, and the profit is as high as ten times.
It is said that the nobles of the Russians especially liked this kind of spirits, and they almost went crazy. In order to grab the Erguotou sample brought, in addition to the broken incident of the salesman being beaten, there was also a broken incident of the nobles fighting each other for the Erguotou...
The first batch of orders alone, the Russian nobles ordered 10,000 bottles. This is because Erguotou is too high. If the price is low, it is estimated that the first batch of orders will exceed 100,000 bottles... and, next, the orders will definitely be large...
It is said that the reason why the Russians chose the Greek Orthodox Church and refused Allah's religion was because Allah's religion did not allow alcohol to drink. When someone advised the Russian Grand Duke Vladimir to convert to Allah's religion, the Grand Duke said dissatisfiedly - "Drinking is the enjoyment of the Rossians. Without alcohol, we cannot survive."... Then, they converted to the Greek Orthodox Church... because the Orthodox Church cannot ban wine...
