Marin was anxious to drive Tara's messenger back to Cuba to report the news, but Tara's messenger did not leave. Marin asked in confusion:
"You have something to do?"
Tara's messenger said with grievance:
"Duke, I haven't explained the matter in Savannah yet..."
Marin slapped his head. Indeed, when he heard about Si before, he was excited and ignored the Savannah incident. It seemed that there was a good place there.
"Then you tell me..." Marin leaned comfortably on the back of the chair and continued to listen to the report.
"Mr. Kowak said that they had gained a foothold on Tybee Island. And, they sent people deep into the Savannah River to inspect the local situation."
"Just like the name given to the local area by the Grand Duke, Savannah is indeed a grassland. However, the grassland is not large in size, probably as big as Texel Island, and there are forests around it..."
"Is Texel Island..." Marin thought for a while, it was 160 square kilometers. Thinking about it, it was his own "land of dragon prosperity"...
In any case, the area is not small. Moreover, this is different from Texel Island. Texel Island is an island and may not be covered with fresh water. The Savannah land is next to the Savannah River, which is completely suitable for agriculture and is also very suitable for early development. Because there is no need to cut down trees in the grassland area, it is much easier to deal with than forests.
"You keep talking..." Marin signaled the messenger to continue to tell.
"Yes... According to Lord Kowak, he had already come into contact with the local Indians. The local Indians called themselves Creeks and had already developed a farming civilization. However, the Creeks near the seaside seemed to be branches. It is said that the main vein of the Creeks lived far west of Savannah. There were many towns with concentrated populations... "
"As for the Savannah area, it seems that the Creeks have not yet been developed. There is only a village of 500 people nearby, but not in the grassland, but in the forest. Because their houses require wood, their communities are not close to the grassland, but in the river in the forest."
"Mr. Kowak sent them goods such as sugar and salt, and asked to buy the land of Savannah Grassland and settle here. The other chief had agreed. However, we needed to send a lot of goods over there. For example, iron farm tools, as well as sugar, salt, cloth, and beautiful glass beads, the other party asked to load a boat..."
"One ship..." Marin was shocked - Damn, what is a ship? Even a smaller 250-level armed merchant ship has hundreds of tons of cargo in one ship! The other party was really a lion talking...
The messenger saw that Marin had misunderstood and quickly explained:
"It's not the big ship you think of, but the small boat they entered the inland river to explore, probably... so big..." After saying that, the messenger gestded. Marin estimated that it was a small boat of several tons, only a few tons of cargo.
Then, he breathed a sigh of relief--it would be better if it wasn't a sea boat...
A few tons of supplies are fine, and you can take them out. If there are hundreds of tons of goods... Marin couldn't say that he would use force directly...
However, it seems that we will still use force in the future. After all, this is just a temporary measure now. The Savannah grassland is not big, and it is not suitable to use force with people in the early stage, and that grassland was also developed and utilized in the early stage. But in the later stage, when the Savannah grassland was no longer developed enough, we still need to use force with people in the future... In the plan, Savannah is the future cotton production place, tung oil production place, raw lacquer production place, and bamboo production place... Made, so important, how can you allow others to snore when you sit on the side of the bed? Even if those Indians were the original landlords...
Marin's plan was to first develop the Savannah Grassland. While developing and building the castle, he was inquiring about the news about the nearby tribe. When the castle was built, the safety of the rear was guaranteed, and the intelligence was almost inquired at that time, and then he took action to swallow the tribe. If he attacked rashly, if the other party escaped into the primitive jungle, it would be troublesome. After all, the other party could use the terrain to fight guerrillas, and he would come out to shoot the farmers in the Savannah Colony with an arrow... He dared not think about it... So, it would be better to prepare enough and take it one by one. Of course, if that tribe is willing to surrender, it would be okay to absorb the other party...
Thinking of this, Marin also wrote a letter to Kowak, and Totala's messenger took it with him. In the letter, Marin asked Kowak - to agree to the other party's request for the time being. However, in the future, while building the castle, he collected the other party's intelligence. When the castle is built, if the other party is very friendly, he will let it go. If it is not friendly, it will be destroyed directly... Anyway, be prepared for both...
Moreover, when Tara's messenger returned, Marin planned to change it to a new sailing ship, which is an improved version of the 250-class armed merchant ship, and also equipped with a new ship with upper edge inclined sail and rudder system. This new ship Marin has tried it and goes from Europe to North America, and it is much faster. Unlike the previous cross sailing ship, it takes more than 3 months to travel from Europe to North America because it is a headwind. This new ship will only take more than a month to go to North America.
Then, if you go south from the east coast of North America, although the wind belt will be changed, the upper edge inclined sail is not afraid of bad wind, so the average speed will be faster than the cross sailing boat. In this way, the messenger can also send the reply to Tara and Kowalk as soon as possible, and execute the order as soon as possible...
...
After Marin sent Tara's messenger away, Kohler suddenly entered the office and brought a secret letter from Rome...
The secret letter was written by Marin's father-in-law Pope Julius II himself. The content of the letter is very simple, just one sentence:
"Caesar must die!"
Marin was stunned. He thought of his own family and his baby Caesar was almost angry. But he immediately realized that his father-in-law was talking about Caesar Bogia, the mortal enemy of the Rovere family, not his little baby...
Yes, it has been more than three years since Caesar Bogia fled to the Kingdom of Navarra. Nowadays, people have paid little attention to it. At this time, no one paid attention to it when they sent a killer to kill Caesar Bogia. After all, three years are enough to dilute everything.
Moreover, Caesar Porgia harmed many people back then. In addition, Marin once blamed the Swedes for buying "Cantera" from him to poison Prince Christian, the Denmark. Therefore, Caesar Porgia was basically beaten by everyone in Europe.
Caesar Porgia himself seemed to know this. Therefore, after hiding in the Kingdom of Navarra, he has always been very low-key and honest, for fear of attracting attention and being brought up old accounts...
However, Caesar Bogia's opponent is Julius II, the old fox. What is the characteristic of the old fox? It is to endure! Before, because he had just seized the position of pope, he was not suitable to attack Caesar Bogia, and even needed to pretend to be generous and forgive this bastard. However, this does not mean that Julius II would really let the other party go. After all, Caesar Bogia murdered many people in the Rovere family at the beginning, resulting in the Rovere family being small now. The hatred that almost exterminated the clan is not easy to let go.
