Chapter 589： Preparation for conquering Cuba

The significance of extraction is extremely important because it means that Marin can safely conquer and control colonies in tropical regions in the future.

The colonies in tropical regions are of great significance. Not to mention that spices and sucrose need to be produced in tropical colonies. Canned tropical fruits can also be developed into an important commodity. In addition, Marin will also promote the cultivation of special cash crops such as tea, coffee and cocoa in tropical regions. These crops all need tropical environment, or like tropical environment.

As far as tea is concerned, although tea is also produced in temperate regions, tea trees like hot and humid environments, and tea trees in tropical regions can also be grown. For example, the famous Ceylon black tea in later generations was produced in Sri Lanka, a tropical island country.

The climate in Cuba is similar to Sri Lanka, and it is possible to grow tea trees and realize the production of tea. Moreover, the tea tree has the advantage that it likes the sunny slopes and does not occupy the cultivated land in the plains.

Therefore, in tropical and subtropical areas, it is possible to promote the cultivation of tea in hilly areas. Combined with sucrose and milk, it can form a high-value milk tea industry.

In fact, milk tea is now a very fashionable drink in Europe. Because of the scarcity of tea, Marin's "early milk tea" "invented" has become a rare item that can be enjoyed by Europe's top nobles. After all, in the European market, a tea brick can actually be changed to a horse, which is almost black. Therefore, drinking earl milk tea is a very luxurious life. If anyone entertains guests with Earl milk tea, then he has a face. Unfortunately, the current trade of tea bricks is in the hands of the Crimeans. If you want tea, you have to buy it all. If Marin can open the Daming route and get a lot of tea, it is definitely a good business.

Moreover, in addition to tea, Earl Milk Tea also needs a lot of milk and sucrose. In this way, the promotion of milk tea can also stimulate the consumption and consumption of sucrose and milk, forming a huge industry and feeding many people.

It is said that due to the popularity of Earl milk tea, the price of Dutch black and white cows with strong milk production capacity has directly increased by half ...

……

Finally, Marin's occupation and development of Cuba is imperative!

It's just that this guy Tara may know how to develop, but expansion is really not good at it. This guy arrived in Cuba last year. As a result, a little faster. The goods can only build the Havana Castle and control the large unowned forest near the Havana Castle. As for the surrounding tribes, he failed to conquer ...

Why? Tara argued in his report to Marin that he had sent troops to attack a nearby tribe, but failed. It's not that he couldn't beat the opponent, but that after the defeat, the opponent directly fled into the depths of the jungle on the Cuban island, making Tara unable to pursue.

Moreover, although the militias composed of hundreds of strong soldiers under Tara, because they possess firearms, they have more fighting power than the indigenous people, but in the jungle, they have no way to take those indigenous people. It even lost money and lost two people. Moreover, these two people were not killed by the indigenous people, but were bitten by the poisonous snake in the jungle ...

In desperation, Tara had no choice but to admit that he was not used to jungle operations on the Cuban island and asked for support from Marin ...

Received Tara's letter of help, Marin was very angry. However, after he was angry, he had to admit that Tara made a good point ...

From ancient times to the present, jungle operations have been a problem. Especially tropical jungle combat is a difficult problem. Why is it that the cultivation of poisonous products in the Golden Triangle of later generations is forbidden repeatedly? Is n’t it too difficult to fight in the jungle, ca n’t Thailand and Myanmar handle it? It is said that during World War II, in order to conquer Southeast Asia, rìběn also specially recruited a group of mountain people from the indigenous people of Taiwan for use in the jungle operations in Southeast Asia, and the effect was not bad ...

Thinking of this, Marin suddenly remembered one thing-it seems that a lot of his army was recruited from the Principality of Württemberg. Many of them are mountain people living in the Black Forest ...

These people have good stamina, are good at running, and are also very adaptable to the forest environment. Although the temperate forest environment is not the same as the tropical forest, the mountain people in these black forests are definitely more suitable for jungle operations than the soldiers in the plains.

So, Marin decisively recruited various generals and asked them to start counting the number of soldiers in the army who originally lived in the Black Forest.

As a result, a few days later, Marin got a good news-about two thousand people in the army came from the Black Forest in the Principality of Württemberg.

What surprised Marin the most was that more than 400 of them had once been hunters in the Black Forest. Because they have a very good level of shooting, they all joined the Musketeers ...

Someone may ask, since he is a hunter, why not be a good hunter and change his life as a soldier? You can sell a lot of money for hunting a few deer or something, just like Marin did ...

In fact, this is unrealistic. Why? Because Marin originally rode into the depths of the forest to hunt. Do ordinary hunters have horses? No! So they can only hunt outside the forest, the harvest is not that big.

Moreover, this is secondary. The most important thing is that how these hunters shoot after they hit their prey is a big question. If you enter the city chūshòu, it is easy to be blackmailed.

In this era, the beasts in the forest are also the property of the lord, and ordinary people cannot hunt casually. If it is found, the prey is taken lightly, and in severe cases, it will be executed.

When passing the city gate to pay the city tax, those ordinary hunters may be blackmailed by the soldiers guarding the gate, or even stealing their prey. If a vicious lord is encountered, it may even be executed.

Therefore, those hunters in the forest often dare not sell their prey in the city, they can only eat their own food, and cannot sell money. In this way, those hunters are very poor. Because there is no money, clothes can't be bought, and you can only make simple clothes from the hides obtained by hunting. Many hunters are too poor to be soldiers.

But Marin was different from the beginning. He was a wandering knight and belonged to a "ruthless man." One person could fight several ordinary soldiers. Therefore, although Marin poached without a license, the ordinary soldiers who defended the city did not dare to provoke them. Moreover, Marin was originally a roaming hunt, hunting and shipping here today, and riding to another territory tomorrow. Even those lords who learned that their own forests were poached were not caught up with Marin! What's more, afterwards Marin took a group of servants to group poaching, and the fighting power was very strong. If some small lords rush to catch up, they may be killed. Therefore, those weak little lords also open their eyes to the shameless poachers of Marin. Unless, the other party refuses to leave in their territory ~ www.novelhall.com ~ will only drive.

Therefore, wǔqì high poachers like Marin have nourishment, while ordinary hunters have difficulty selling their prey, so their lives are bad. When Marin sent people to recruit mercenaries, many bad hunters simply mixed up with Marin ...

Although these hunters are poor, they are very familiar with the forest. Moreover, he is good at tracking and arranging traps, and is very vigilant. It would be more effective for these hunters in the jungle to fight against the indigenous people.

Therefore, Marin selected more than 300 people from the 400-plus hunting in the Black Forest and prepared to send him

They went to Cuba to participate in the attack and pursuit of the indigenous people. With these hunters, no indigenous people can escape.

In addition, Marin also selected 300 soldiers who had lived in the Black Forest to fight and cover the hunters. After all, the more than 300 hunters are musketeers, and their melee ability is weak and they need protection. The more than 300 assistants Marlin chose for them are all swords and shields, and their cover ability is very strong.

Heal those who have been eliminated, mainly those who are afraid of heat. People who are afraid of the heat cannot stay in the tropical jungle for a long time. Only people with better endurance and fear of heat can adapt to the climate of Cuba.

Now, Marin has a large number in his hands, and the formation of such a team adapted to the forest environment is very suitable for conquering the indigenous tribes on the Cuban island. Only by conquering the indigenous people on the Cuban island, Marin can successfully cultivate sugarcane plantations on the Cuban island and organize the cultivation of cash crops such as tea trees ...
