What makes Marin cry is that because the tinplate is too shiny, it makes people who do not know think it is made of pure silver. Therefore, there was an incident in the shipyard where someone had stolen the tinplate in the middle of the night. A little gangster near the shipyard took advantage of the middle of the night to sneak into the shipyard and pry off a few sheets of white iron sheet from the ship wrapped in white iron sheet ...

The next day, the craftsman who was responsible for the transformation of the ship was surprised to find that there were few pieces of tinplate on the ship ... So, this matter was quickly reported ...

Marin sent the Alsatian wolfhound with simple training, and soon found the **** near the shipyard. Then, this kid was sentenced to two years ...

However, this matter also reminded Marin. Tinplate is too much like silver, it is easy to cause misunderstanding. If they were stolen as silver skin, the previous efforts to protect the maggots would be in vain. Moreover, the shiny silver tinplate is indeed too shocking.

In desperation, Marin ordered-to paint each piece of tinplate with black or red paint to cover the appearance of the tinplate. While covering the silver light, it also added a protective layer to the tinplate. At least, the tinplate will not corrode until the paint layer is damaged. In this way, the use of tinplate is longer.

It's just that there is no lacquer tree like Daming in Europe, and the paints are all compound coatings prepared with high prices. Therefore, painting all the tinplate is expensive.

Therefore, we must introduce lacquer trees from the Ming Dynasty to further reduce the cost of paint. As for the place where the sumac is planted, it is naturally in the subtropical region of the Americas.

In addition, the economic tree species, Tung, also needs to be introduced into the Americas. Because tung oil is also a very important raw material for shipbuilding. In other words, almost all carpenters can use tung oil. For example, when making a wooden barrel, after hooping the barrel, you need to brush dry oil such as tung oil to prevent moth and water.

In general, tung oil is probably the best quality drying oil, and is widely used in woodworking. Moreover, because the tung tree has strong vitality and good service, it can pick fruits and squeeze oil every year without careful care. Of course, after fertilization and careful service, the yield is higher.

In ancient China, the advantages of tungsten oil's rapid drying and mothproofing made it very versatile, and it was extremely versatile in the fields of shipbuilding and furniture making. At the same time, Huaxia's oil paper is also made of tung oil, which is much better than the semi-dry whale oil used by Marin.

The most important thing is still cheap ...

Nowadays, when European craftsmen built ships and furniture early, they also used linseed oil and olive oil as paint, which was very expensive. Moreover, linseed oil and olive oil are very good edible oils, used to smear the hull and carpentry products, it feels so luxurious and wasteful ...

In order to be waterproof and mothproof, shipbuilding needs a lot of paint and dry oiling. If the cost is too high, the manufacturing cost will be too high. If Malin introduced lacquer trees and tung trees on a large scale from the Ming Dynasty, the cost of shipbuilding in the future would be greatly reduced. Moreover, the climate in southeastern and southern North America is very similar to that of China, and both sumac and tung trees grow well.

Because it is already at the end of the year, and spring ploughing will usher in it soon. Therefore, after careful consideration, Marin set the time to send troops to England after the end of spring cultivation next year. In this way, domestic spring cultivation is not delayed. After all, the tens of thousands of soldiers are male laborers, and they can help. Malin had already annihilated a merchant, and used the army to help spring cultivation and autumn harvesting. That was very easy to use ... Moreover, the soldiers under him were basically from the countryside, and they were also proficient in the field work. As long as they add more food to the soldiers, they will be willing to work hard to help the spring harvest and autumn harvest, which is really simple ...

However, there is a problem that Marin chose to send troops to England after the end of spring cultivation. At that time, the Englishmen were idle. Maybe, more ships will be sent to the Irish Sea. In this way, Marin will greatly increase the difficulty of destroying British ships on the Irish Sea. If you are not careful, if you annihilate the main force of the English navy, it would be equivalent to marrying the French.

Therefore, Marin needs to come up with a complete way to hold down the main force of the English navy, that is, the English merchant ships of the Five Ports Alliance (also can be a guest ship, and occasionally a guest pirate ship) ...

After thinking about it, Marin suddenly thought that since the reserve ships of the Five Ports Alliance are all merchant ships, they certainly like to pull goods to make money. If the shipping cost is higher, it is estimated that they will be more happy ...

If you place an order for them to go out and pull goods ... hey, would n’t there be fewer ships left to patrol the Irish sea?

As for the King Henry VII will block? That will definitely be. However, the British Navy is now made up entirely of merchant ships from the Five Ports Alliance. Henry VII can order them to participate in the war, but cannot order them to participate in the war all the time. After all, people are merchant ships, do they have to do business?

You Henry VII want those merchant ships to serve you all the time, okay, pay! But how can Henry VII have money? He is not his son Henry VIII. Henry VIII engaged in a religious reform and robbed the property of the British Catholic Church before he became rich. Henry VII came to power through the civil war, plus the previous war with Edward, now poor, how can there be money for those merchant ship owners? Moreover, is it not because there is no money to feed the navy when recruiting merchant ships to fight?

Therefore, Marin does not need to do anything, as long as the high-price, hire the merchant ships of the British Five Ports Alliance to help him to pull the goods at the scheduled time ~ www.novelhall.com ~ will be able to release many merchant ships. In order to give those ships a far-reaching point, Marin can pay a high price for them to pull goods to the Baltic region and the Mediterranean. In this way, those ships would not be able to return within a month or two, just in favor of the British ships that Malin cleared the Irish sea and transported Edward's army to the mainland of England.

At the same time, Marin will also send his own ship to transport his army to land in the port of Newcastle under his control. Once they merged with Edward's army who landed on the West Bank, they could head south together, go straight to London, and seize power ...

This approach, in China, is obviously a classic plan to tune away the tiger ...

In this era, Europeans have not yet seen any conspiracy. Obviously, it's easy to win. Moreover, the merchants are pursuing profits, as long as the shipping cost from Marin is high enough, so that the merchant ships of the five-port alliance will not worry.

Moreover, Marin did not intend to give the full amount. He intends to give only 30% of the deposit, after the goods are shipped, and then rely on the rest ...

Of course, this kind of thing is too bad reputation. Therefore, Marin intends to do it in the name of the Chamber of Commerce of other countries. For example, get a Dutch Chamber of Commerce, and an Italian Chamber of Commerce ...

After the other party gets a 30% deposit and returns the freight, it comes back to ask for the remaining money. The so-called chamber of commerce has already left the building empty. Then, deliberately leave some French books, etc., to make them think that they are a ghost of the French.

In this way, the merchant owners of the Five-Port Alliance who did not get the full amount of money would definitely hate the French. In the future, if the French like to pick peaches and send troops to invade England, they will definitely be fought back by these merchant ship owners ...

In short, this method not only has the plan to shun the tiger from the mountain, but also includes the elements of swindling and blaming the French, which can be said to accomplish two things. Of course, you have to plan well in advance, and do n’t expose yourself, it hurts your reputation ...
