If the later generations knew that Marin was so extravagant, he would take a tens of meters long giant logs and tie them to a raft. You know, a ton of logs is worth thousands of pieces. Such huge logs of tens of meters in length are worth tens of thousands.
However, Marin didn't care much. Why? Because the most important thing this year is wood. Especially in the American continent that has not yet been developed. When opening wasteland, a lot of precious wood was burned directly as firewood. Only in later generations when the forests were very damaged, wood will be valuable.
As a lone traverser, Marin is actually very tired. He has many ideas, but it is a pity that he has poor practical ability. In this era, only the old metamorphosis of Da Vinci could understand his advanced thinking. However, since Leonardo married Lisa, much of her energy was dispersed to the woman. Therefore, Marin suddenly felt that maybe a single scientist is also good. Otherwise, it is difficult to concentrate on scientific research.
In fact, Marin now regrets the transfer of Da Vinci to the American steam engine. Why? After Ada left, Marin suddenly discovered that he could not find anyone to discuss science ...
Although many highly skilled craftsmen have been dug from all over Italy and Germany, craftsmen are just craftsmen, not scientists. These excellent craftsmen, Marin directed them to do this and that's no problem. However, it is more difficult for them to think for themselves. Strictly speaking, in this era, only a great **** like Leonardo can be considered a scientist.
So, to go to America this time, Marin decided to take Da Vinci back ...
As a result, this old man can understand what he means, and can be considered a confidant. Second, Marin intends to let him take a few apprentices and train several future scientists. After all, Leonardo is 55 years old, and God knows he will burp someday. While this old thing is still alive, let him help train a few scientific talents.
As for training scientists yourself? Marin never thought about ... why? Because Marin is a liberal arts student ...
The biggest characteristic of liberal arts students is that they are invincible and can "point the rivers and mountains, and stimulate the writing." But it is necessary for him to engage in scientific research ... sorry, that is not what he is good at ...
Therefore, even if Marin knows everything, he can't engage in scientific research. Moreover, he cannot teach science talents. What's more, you have to be busy with soldiers and colonizing the world. Let a great **** like Da Vinci bring apprentices, which is both trouble-saving and more professional.
If Da Vinci can help him develop a group of hands-on science and engineering talents, then he will be a big earner. Moreover, in the machinery manufacturing industry, the most important thing is to work together, not to be alone.
I also wanted to go before. I actually wanted Da Vinci to go to America and work on the steam engine. Even if Leonardo da Vinci is a wizard, he can make a good steam engine. This guy is 55, in case of accidental hiccups, then the research of the North Sea steam engine is interrupted. Therefore, the cultivation of talents is more important than the development of machinery now ...

While Marin was thinking about life on the Atlantic Ocean, at the military camp shooting range outside Gelden, the capital of the Principality of Geddes, Charles II, Duke of Geddes, was watching the three-strike attack of the Musketeers of the Principality of Geddes with interest.
Since Marin's line of muskets composed of Musquete muskets has won a lot in battles, the use of muskets on the battlefield has attracted the attention of European countries.
Of course, Marin, because he likes to use sneak attack tactics, did not show the true advantage of the musket. What really attracted the attention of all countries was the fact that the Spaniards defeated the French knight's charge by phalanx musketeers.
Because, in Italy, Gonzalo used head-on confrontation to defeat the famous French knight.
Since the end of Western France's battle for hegemony in Italy ended with Spain's victory, many countries have actually begun to think about using Musketeers as an important arm of the army.
However, the national conditions of different countries are different. The countries that attach the most importance to Musketeers are actually those with weak cavalry. Because, their opponent cavalry is stronger than them. Therefore, they need a way to restrain the opponent's knight before they can think of forming a musketeer unit. If it is a country with strong cavalry, fighting knights with others will not fall, and may not be willing to form.
The Duchy of Geddes, for example, is a typical Duchy dominated by infantry. why? Because the Principality of Geddes was once destroyed by the bold Principality of Burgundy of Charlie. In that battle of annihilation, most of the knights of the old knight family of the Duchy of Geddes were killed in battle. Even if they survived, many have turned to the Principality of Burgundy.
Therefore, after the Principality of Geddes recovered from the chaos in 1492, it no longer had a large rank of knights. After all, the old cavalier family, die dead, fled to other countries. In desperation, the Principality of Geddes had no choice but to rely on infantry. The strongest infantry in Europe is Switzerland, and it is the Swiss mercenary who killed Charlie the enemy. Therefore, Charles II, the Duke of Geddes, gave the Geddes army the idea of mimicking the Swiss phalanx.
However, the battle of Marin in Lübeck broke the myth of the invincibility of Swiss mercenaries, making Charles II realize that he chose to follow the path of Swiss army building, not invincible.
Therefore, since then, Charles II began to pay attention to the problem of musketeers. He found that the matchlock gun is very powerful, not only can attack the plate armor, but also has a set against the spear phalanx. Marin added the Musketeer Line Array to the Spear phalanx to fill the short board of the Swiss Spear phalanx lacking long-range attack ...
In the end, Charles II, Duke of Geddes decided to add a group of musketeers on the basis of the Swiss spear phalanx of the Geddes army to increase the attack power. As for the tactics of war, naturally learning Marin ...
However, Marin's technical blockade was very tight, and Koller's spies also monitored all outsiders. This led to the fact that the Principality of Geddes sent to East Friesland and wanted to steal the Marin army tactics.
In desperation, Charles II can only choose another way-to steal in Spain ...
The Spanish defeated France and became famous in Europe. And General Gonzalo has become a famous European player. The policy used by General Gonzalo is said to have been taught by Marin himself. Therefore, learning tactics from the Spaniards is equivalent to learning Marin's tactics.
General Gonzalo Charles II was unable to buy it. After all, people were not short of money, and they are now the big names of the Spanish court. However, under General Gonzalo's men, that's not necessarily ...
Charles II sent people to secretly contact General Gonzalo stationed in Italy ~ www.novelhall.com ~ and paid a lot of money for bribes. Finally, they used 800 gold coins and obtained a full set of methods for the training and use of musketeers from the hands of a relatively poor phalanx under General Gonzalo ...
Then, Charles II formed a 2,000-person musketeer army in the army of the Principality of Geddes. According to the method stolen from Spain, he trained day and night ... Even the muskets used were also the earliest used by Marin Spain's Musquette musket ...
Finally, before launching an attack on the concentration camp holding "Swiss mercenaries" in the Principality of Brabant, the training of the Musketeers was basically completed.
"Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang ..."
Seeing the skillful movements of the Musketeers of the Geddes army and the uniform progress made Charles II very satisfied. It is conceivable that such an army, when confronted with the Habsburg family's army in the Netherlands, how powerful fighting power will erupt ...
"Huh, the Netherlands, it's mine!" Standing on the high platform, looking at the area of the Netherlands in the northwest, Charles II's eyes were full of desire ...
