If people from later generations knew that Marin was so luxurious and used a giant log worth tens of meters to raft, he would probably be drowned by the mouths of the trolls. You know, a ton of logs is worth thousands of yuan. Such giant logs worth tens of meters are worth tens of thousands of yuan.
However, Marin didn't care much. Why? Because what we lacked most these days is wood. Especially when the land was not yet developed, many precious woods were burned directly as firewood. Only in later generations when forests were damaged very hard in later generations, wood would be valuable.
As a lonely time traveler, Marin was actually very tired. He had many ideas, but unfortunately he had poor ability to do it himself. In this era, the only one who could understand his advanced ideas was probably the only one who could understand Leonardo da Vinci. However, since Leonardo da Vinci married Lisa, his energy was dispersed to women. So, Marin suddenly felt that maybe it was good for scientists to be single. Otherwise, it would be difficult to concentrate on scientific research.
In fact, Marin now regrets the transfer of Leonardo da Vinci to the Americas to test the steam engine. Why? After Ada left, Marin suddenly found that he could not find someone to discuss science...
Although many craftsmen with excellent skills were dug from all over Italy and Germany, craftsmen were just craftsmen, not scientists. It was fine for Marin to direct these excellent craftsmen to do this and that. However, it was difficult for them to think about it themselves. Strictly speaking, in this era, only a great god like Leonardo da Vinci could be considered scientists.
So, when going to America, Marin decided to bring Leonardo da Vinci back...
First, this old guy can understand what he meant and is also considered a soulmate. Second, Marin plans to ask him to bring a few apprentices to train several future scientists. After all, Leonardo da Vinci is 55 years old, and God knows when he will burp. While this old guy is still alive, it is serious to ask him to help train a few scientific researchers.
As for cultivating scientists by himself? Marin never thought about... why? Because Marin is a liberal arts student...
The biggest feature of liberal arts students is that they are invincible and can "speak the world and inspire words". But they have to do scientific research by themselves... Sorry, that's not what they are good at...
Therefore, even if Marin knew a little bit of everything, he could not do scientific research. Moreover, he could not teach science talents. What's more, he was busy leading troops to fight and colonize the world. Letting a great master like Leonardo da Vinci lead his apprentices is both troublesome and more professional.
If Leonardo da Vinci can help him cultivate a group of science and engineering talents with strong hands-on skills, then he will make a lot of money. Moreover, in the machinery manufacturing industry, the most important thing is to work together, rather than just making trouble alone.
I had a bad idea before, and I actually wanted Leonardo da Vinci to go to America alone to tinker with the steam engine. Even if Leonardo da Vinci was a genius, he would have developed an excellent steam engine, so what? This guy is 55. If he accidentally burps, the research on the steam engine of Beihai Country will be interrupted. Therefore, the cultivation of talents is more important than developing machinery now...
...
While Marin was thinking about life on the Atlantic Ocean, Charles II, Duke of Gedes, was watching the three-section attacks of the military camp outside the city of Gelden, the capital of Gedes's Principality.
Since Marin used the musket line array composed of Mushket's large muskets to win a great victory in many battles, the application of muskets on the battlefield has attracted the attention of European countries.
Of course, because Marin likes to use sneak attack tactics, he does not show the real advantages of muskets. What really attracts all countries to pay attention to is actually the Spanish who relies on the phalanx musketeers to defeat the French Knights' charge.
Because Gonzalo in Italy used a head-on decisive approach to defeat the world-famous French knights.
Since the battle between Western France and Italy ended with Spain's victory, many countries have actually begun to think about using musketeers as an important military service.
However, the national conditions between countries are different. The countries that attach the most importance to musketeers are actually some countries with weak cavalry. Because their opponents are stronger than them. Therefore, they need a way to restrain their opponents and knights before they think of forming musketeers. If a country with strong cavalry is strong, they may not be willing to form a knight without losing the upper hand.
For example, the Principality of Gedes is a typical principality dominated by infantry. Why? Because the Principality of Gedes was once destroyed by the bold Charles Burgundy Principality. In that battle to destroy the country, most of the knights of the old knights of the Principality of Gedes were killed. Even if they survived, many of them turned to the Principality of Burgundy.
Therefore, after the revival of the Guedes State in 1492, it no longer had a large-scale knight team. After all, the old knight family died and went to other countries to join other countries. In desperation, the Guedes State had to rely on infantry as the main force. The strongest infantry in Europe was Switzerland, and the Swiss mercenary who killed the enemy's bold Charles. Therefore, the previous idea of ​​establishing the army for the Guedes State was to imitate the Swiss phalanx.
However, Marin's battle at Lübeck broke the myth of the invincible Swiss mercenaries, making Charles II realize that he chose to take the path of Swiss army building, which was not invincible.
Therefore, after that, Charles II began to pay attention to the problem of musketeers. He found that the musketeers were very powerful and could not only attack the plate armor knights, but also had a good deal of dealing with spear phalanxes. Marin added musketeers line array to the spear phalanxes, which made up for the shortcomings of the Swiss spear phalanxes that lacked long-range attack power...
In the end, Charles II, Duke of Geders, decided to add a group of musketeers to enhance their attack power based on the Swiss spear formation of Geders' army. As for the tactics, they were naturally learning from Marin...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, Marin's blockade of technology was very strict, and Kohler's spies also asked Kohler's spies to monitor all outsiders. This led to the spy gate sent by the Principality of Gedes to East Friesland to steal the tactics of Marin's army to find nothing...
In desperation, Charles II had to choose another way - to go to Spain to steal...
The Spaniards defeated France and became famous in Europe. General Gonzalo also became a famous European general. The policy used by General Gonzalo is said to be taught by Marin himself. Therefore, learning tactics from the Spaniards is equivalent to learning Marin's tactics.
General Charles II of Gonzalo could not buy it. After all, he was not short of money and now he has become a big celebrity in the Spanish court. However, General Gonzalo's subordinates may not be...
Charles II sent people to secretly contact General Gonzalo's subordinates stationed in Italy and spent a lot of money to bribe. Finally, they used 800 gold coins to obtain a complete set of musketeer training and use methods from a relatively poor phalanx leader under General Gonzalo's command...
Then, Charles II also formed a 2,000-man musketeer unit in the army of the Guedes Principality, and trained day and night according to the methods stolen from Spain... Even the muskets used were imitations of the Spanish Mushket muskets that Marin used first...
Finally, before launching an attack on the concentration camp where "Swiss mercenaries" was imprisoned in the Principal of Brabant, the training of the musketeers was basically completed.
"Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang..."
Seeing the skillful movements and uniform progress of the musketeers of the Guedes army made Charles II very satisfied. It is conceivable how powerful combat effectiveness such an army would burst out when facing the Habsburg family's army in the Netherlands...
