Both France and Venice are fighting for Spain, but Marin, the initiator, has no time to ignore the things on the Italian side. Because, he got a very important news ...
"This is the Ottoman Turks' musket?" Marin looked curiously at the musket brought back by the spy sent to Turkey.
"Yes, Grand Duke, this is the musket currently equipped by the Ottoman Armed Forces! The subordinates spent a lot of money to get this sample from a general of the Sudanese Imperial Guard in the name of" scrap ". It is said that the new Ottomans Sudan attaches great importance to firearms, and has already widely promoted this matchlock gun in the Ottoman ban! "The spy, Meyer, who had been lurking in Constantinople (now called Istanbul) for several years, said respectfully. Meir is a Jew, and the Ottoman Empire is kind to Jews. When the Spanish kings expelled the Jews in the territory, the Ottoman Empire specially took a large number of Jews who originally lived in Spain to live in Istanbul. It happened that Marin wanted to monitor the Jews in the past few years, so he arranged for Meir, a Jewish spy, to lie in the Ottoman capital Istanbul as a Spanish Jewish refugee.
And Marin was also very clear in his mind-this matchlock gun he got in front of him may be the famous Lu Miguo recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty!
However, Marin saw the shadow of the Spanish Muskete musket above the rummit blunder produced in the Ottoman Empire. Unlike the Muskete musket, the Ottoman Empire ’s Rumi-hyun seems to be smaller. Its bullets are not as heavy as the Muskete ’s 50 grams, which is probably close to the North Sea Army ’s 30.23 grams ...
"Where did the Ottoman Turks' matchlock technology come from?" Marin was puzzled. But suddenly, Marin thought of a possibility-the group of Jews taken by Ottoman Turkey from Spain ...
The Jews are very smart and generally engage in commerce or handicrafts. It is said that the total number of Spanish Jews picked up by Turkey was as high as 200,000. It is very likely that among these 200,000 people, there are artisans who know how to make Mushket. After all, the Musquete musket was originally from Spain ...
"It turned out that the origin of Rumikon was actually Spain. In other words, did the Spaniard lift a stone and hit it ... no, not his own feet, but the feet of all Europeans ..."
It is said that after the Ottoman Turkish Sultan Bayesert II took over the 200,000 Jews, he proudly wrote to the twin kings of Spain, claiming-"King Ferdinand II of Spain is really a 'great' ruler I would rather give my wealth to others when I am poor "... Obviously, Bayesert II has obtained huge benefits from this group of Jews. For example, technological progress ...
...
Of course, Marin doesn't care how much the Ottoman Turks have gained. He sent people to monitor Ottoman Turkey because he was very concerned about the future military conflict between Turkey and the Mamluk dynasty in Egypt.
The Dabik grassland battle near Aleppo in Syria occurred more than two years later, but it caused the fall of the Mamluk dynasty and also achieved the complete rise of the Ottoman Turkey-the strength of the Ottoman Empire in Syria and Egypt, Since then, he has had a strong power to crush Europe ...
After all, Egypt and Syria have always been the richest agricultural areas in the Middle East. With Egypt, the strength of the Ottoman Empire went directly to the next level.
But after the surge in the strength of the Ottoman Empire directly became the most terrifying threat to Europe. Moreover, their soldiers pointed directly to the German region. And this is obviously what Malin, a German prince, does not want to see.
Next, Marin wants to reshuffle the cards within Germany, but he does not want a powerful Ottoman Empire to disrupt it. Therefore, Marin must prevent the Ottoman Turkey from dying out of the Mamluk dynasty. And Meir was sent to Turkey, mainly to observe the military aspects of Turkey ...
...
A year ago, Ottoman Turkey ’s third prince Salem launched a coup, poisoning his father Bayesert II and killing two older brothers, becoming the 9th Sultan of Ottoman Turkey-Salem I.
Selim I paid great attention to the strength of the army, also vigorously promoted the artillery in the army, and began to promote the firearm gun on a large scale.
Marin vaguely remembered that in the battle of the Dubuque steppe, it seemed that Selim I had dispatched a 12,000-person European infantry, using a matchlock and a car array (similar to the Yu Dayou chariot formed by Marin, the difference is that there is no front of the chariot The spear and the vehicle are bigger. It seems that it was the ancient Chinese way. After all, the Turks were also descendants of Turks who fled from China to West Asia. They resisted the attack of the fierce Mamluk cavalry and bought time for the Turkish cavalry to fight back. . It can be said that the Mamluk cavalry was defeated by the battle formation formed by the Turks' Rumikon.
Because, on the strength of cavalry alone, the Mamluk dynasty at this time was not inferior to the Turks. In the battle of the Dubuque steppe alone, the Mamluk dynasty dispatched tens of thousands of cavalrymen. Regarding the total strength, the Mamluk dynasty had 80,000 troops at the time, and 60,000 Turkish talents. If it weren't for the 12,000 Turkish European infantry recruited from the Balkans with a matchlock to block the Mamluk cavalry's charge, the Turks would hardly win.
Of course, the Mamluk dynasty is not a fool. In Egypt, firearms are also promoted in the military. However, their promotion speed is not as fast as Turkey. Before the outbreak of the war, Egyptian talents began to promote artillery in the army, and had not had time to promote the matchlock gun.
On the other hand, the Turkish army, after Selim I took office, vigorously promoted the matchlock in the army and established a large-scale musket force. His musketeers were mainly recruited from Europeans in the Balkans. What they used ~ www.novelhall.com ~ is this kind of matchlock gun which is called "Lu Mi" in history. Therefore, the ruin of the Mamluk dynasty, Lu Mizheng contributed to ...
...
However, the historical Battle of Dubuque Grassland will not erupt until 1516, and now Marin has time to intervene. For example ... to provide a matchlock to the Mamluk dynasty ...
Thinking of this, Marin found a craftsman and ordered:
"You study this Turkish musket, I want you to start mass production of this musket. Then ..." Marin smiled, and it must be sold to the Mamluk dynasty.
At that time, the Mamluk dynasty also had a large number of musketeers, and the same equipment was equipped with Rumi, which is more fun ...
On cavalry, the Mamluk dynasty is not weaker than Ottoman Turkey. There are many artillery and Mamluk dynasties. If the short board of the musket is also filled, I really do n’t know what the consequences of the Battle of Dubuque Prairie ...
I just do n’t know, when the Turks saw the troops of the Mamluk dynasty on the opposite side also equipped a lot of the Rumi blunders they invented, how many MMPs did they have to say ...
