In fact, Marin did not necessarily require the emperor to send troops and Siena to die. Originally, if Marin sent his troops alone, Siena's attention must have been on him. Then, a strong attack cannot be avoided.
However, if the emperor's army joins, it will be different. Marin didn't need the emperor's army to attack Siena with all his strength, as long as they helped create a sufficiently large momentum.
If you used the excuse of "marching into Rome" to go to Italy, then the emperor's army must have swept the market, enough to attract the attention of all of Europe.
In that case, Marin quietly sent troops from the sea to Italy, and it was very unremarkable. If the emperor's army launched a massive feint on the east side, then Siena's army would definitely be attracted to the east side. Then, the west side is empty ...
Despite the rugged mountains of the Siena area, it is not conducive to marching. After landing from the west coast, going to Siena requires going over mountains. However, this is no problem for Marin ...
Why? Because Marin recruited troops at the beginning, the mountain people in Württemberg and other places were given priority. Therefore, more than half of the soldiers in the first, second, and third legions of Marin were formerly mountain people in southern Germany. Are there any problems for the mountain people to cross the mountains? Absolutely not!
Therefore, this time, Marin intends to select all the soldiers from the mountain people under his command. Then, using the opportunity of the emperor's army to hold the Siena army's attention on the east line, quickly land from the west coast of Siena, and then go directly to the mountain road and rush to the city of Siena.
That is to say, even if Maximilian I sent troops, he did the same and launched a feint attack on the east side. Then, it attracted most of the attention of the Republic of Siena. And Marin's real trick was to personally lead the team, land from the west coast, and then cross the mountains and cross the Siena city.
However, there is a problem. That is, if you cross the mountains, the artillery cannot be carried. After all, it is impossible for Marin's army to climb the mountain with artillery. Even cavalry can't bring it.
Therefore, this time, Marin can only dispatch infantry. Moreover, artillery cannot be used during siege. If there is no artillery, there are only two choices-first, night attack, send someone to use the grappling hook to climb the city wall in the middle of the night, and then open the city gate; second, use the gunpowder barrel to blow the city gate ...
It's just that now Siena City seems to have replaced the iron gate. It's very difficult to explode ...
So, only the tactics of grabbing the hook to climb the city head in the middle of the night?
"No, there are other ways!" Marin suddenly thought of it, and it seemed that he could use the inside-out method and the dumb way of digging tunnels ...
So, Marin approached Kohler and asked him to arrange for a spy. He entered Siena first, bought a yard near Simon, and digging tunnels and inside and outside together. However, it is estimated that it will take a long time to dig the tunnel through the wall under the opponent's eyelids. Therefore, this needs to wait. Fortunately, Pope Julius II did not urge to win Siena immediately. Therefore, it is possible to dig tunnels for a few months.
In order to ensure the success rate, Marin sent two excavation teams to start excavation from inside and outside the city wall. Moreover, these two tunnels are irrelevant. In this way, Marin can also have multiple choices.
...
After the arrangements were made, Marin enthusiastically sent away the special envoy of Emperor Maximilian I, and asked the envoy to tell the emperor-coronation this year is not a problem ...
Of course, Marin did not say the second half of the sentence-the price is not small ...
After all, the war in Switzerland has not stopped now. Even if the emperor does not have to pay for his own military food and wants to raise 20,000 troops, it is not so easy. Fortunately, these 20,000 troops are only used to support the scene, without really fighting. Therefore, it is possible to allow people to join together.
...
Afterwards, Marin arranged Schwartz to go to the army to pick the infantry from the mountain people and join the expeditionary army to Italy. Moreover, according to memory, Marin began to build a complete set of equipment for future mountaineering.
First of all, a few more pairs of straw shoes. Although grass shoes are not afraid of slipping, they can face rocks and wear a lot. Therefore, the Red Army of the Long March period all made straw shoes when they were idle. Then, during the march, the spare straw shoes were carried on the body, so that the straw shoes were worn out and had to be replaced.
Then there are walking sticks and grappling hooks to avoid nowhere else to focus when climbing. Then there is the sleeping bag, because the mountaineer can only carry one bag, and cannot allow the heavy troops to accompany him. So, do n’t think about setting up a tent or something, just get a simple sleeping bag. In cold weather, using a sleeping bag is not enough to resist cold. Therefore, Marin decided that he must send troops at the latest in autumn, and must not be dragged into winter.
The last thing is food, because it is a surprise attack over the mountains and over the mountains, certainly not much food. Fortunately, Marin invented compressed cookies. While wearing a large pack of compressed biscuits, you can eat for several days. When the maple syrup on the Canadian side arrived this spring, Marin planned to make a large number of compressed maple biscuits, just to let the soldiers carry the mountains over the mountains.
Of course, everyone has to be equipped with a kettle. After all, mountain climbing is hard work, and you must add water. Moreover, you must drink water to eat compressed biscuits, otherwise you will choke.
What's more, after the infantry of the mountain people were selected, Marin conducted special training for them for several months, specifically training them to carry large packs to climb mountains and wading. However, it seems that there are no mountains in Beihai ...
"Or, pull to the mountains in the north of England?" After making up his mind, Marin decided to secretly transport the selected people to the north of England for training, specializing in training the rapid march over the mountains ...

When Marin arranged for the dispatch of troops to Italy, Emden ’s preparations for the first porcelain and silk auction were at the final stage.
Many German and foreign noblemen ’s representatives arrived in Emden, and the hotels in the city could not be accommodated. To this end, Marin had no choice but to evacuate the people and arrange the people to live temporarily in a military camp outside the city. Then, please invite those representatives ~ www.novelhall.com ~ to stay in the vacated houses. Of course, those who have vacated their houses will also receive rent.
Then, the busiest is probably Emden's official vault ...
Why? There is no complete banking system this year. Therefore, many representatives of large nobles who came to the auction brought a lot of cash directly.
Cash in this era is not paper money of later generations, but genuine gold and silver coins. The gold and silver coins brought by each representative of the nobility are very heavy. Fortunately, they didn't use copper coins, otherwise they wouldn't fit.
Therefore, Emden ’s official vault has been busy depositing gold coins and issuing vouchers to the representatives of the big nobles these days. After all, the representatives of the great aristocrats went to the auction and could not carry the money box. Therefore, Marin's approach was to let them lock the money in the box and deposit it in the official Emden vault. At the same time, the vault helped count the amount of currency and issue a currency certificate.
During the auction, the representatives of the big aristocrats, as long as they hold the currency certificate, can prove that they have enough funds to participate in the auction, and go to the vault for total settlement after the auction ...
Of course, some nobles deposited their money in the Hanseatic League bank. They will hold the draft of the Hanseatic League Bank and participate in the auction.
However, Marin did not know whether their bill of exchange was true. Therefore, in this auction, Marin also invited representatives of the influential big banks of the Hanseatic League to ask them to verify the authenticity of the bank draft on the spot.
Of course, this is mainly for those businessmen and little nobles. For those nobles, they still disdain to use fake bills to deceive people. Because, they can't afford to lose that person ...
Before the official auction is held, the statistics of those coins are finally completed. Then, just wait for the auction to officially begin ... 8) More exciting novels, welcome to visit everyone
