Chapter 1794： Desert Battle

♂ ?,

After receiving the letter from Marin's flying pigeons, Julius II was extremely speechless-his son-in-law is really greedy. He has given him the right to appoint a bishop, but it is still not enough, and he wants to use the "Tithe Tax" idea ...

It's not okay to give Marin directly, it's too breaking rules. What if other countries also claim this right? Therefore, Julius II could not publicly declare that the "Tithe Tax" in the Americas was under Marin's control.

Therefore, he thought of a way, that is-to allow the Archbishop of America to control the "Tithing Tax" of the United Kingdom for missions in the Americas.

Of course, the specific privilege granted by Julius II is to allow the Archbishop of America to decide on half of the purpose of the "Tithe" after consulting with the King of the United States. However, it is best used for missionary work and improving the living facilities of local people ...

In other words, the interpretation of Julius II's authorization is to allow the removal of half of the "Tithe Tax" in the Americas and use it to build American infrastructure. For example, building roads and bridges, or building churches or something.

The other half of the "Tithe", Julius II stipulated that it must be used for Christian affairs. For example, building a church or something. Specifically, it is still that sentence, "It is up to the Archbishop of America and the King of America to decide on their own."

In other words, although Julius II did not explicitly give the "Tithe Tax" of the Americas to Marin, it was also given in disguise. After all, the Archbishop of America was nominated and appointed by Marin, dare not obey? Marlin will not nominate if he is disobedient. With the right of the bishop of the region to be in charge, it is not too easy to reach out to the "Tithe Tax" in the Americas.

As for the Holy See ’s inability to collect “Tithe Taxes” from the Americas, the Cardinals of Rome also had no objection. After all, the reason given by Julius II is also very good-people also have to use money to build new churches and missionaries ...

...

As for the capture of 100,000 people in Haiti, Julius II also adopted Marin ’s suggestion that he planned to form a Holy See investigation team to go to Santo Domingo and Guantanamo, Cuba to conduct field investigations, in order to clear the suspects of Marin.

The proposal that Marin proposed to send observers to the ruthless princes also followed suit. However, some of the German princes suspected of making rumors have denounced rumors and are unwilling to send observers. However, three of these princely states were church princely states. They could not bear the pressure of the Holy See and had to send a senior priest to accompany the investigation team to the Americas. In addition, there were also two secular princes who did not believe in evil, and they each sent a representative to prepare to observe with the regiment to see if the Holy See covered Marin.

But this will not happen so quickly, because the castle over Guantanamo has not been repaired yet. In addition, it takes time to cut down trees and plant sugarcane. Therefore, the investigation team will not depart at least half a year later. At that time, Guantanamo was almost ready.

In addition, because of the arrival of the investigation team, it was also necessary to prove to the investigation team the "danger" of the colony. Marin postponed the original order for Tara to send troops to calm the Haitian island rebellion immediately after the arrival of the reinforcements, and instead changed Tara After the investigation team left, they sent troops to defeat the indigenous rebels of Carlos.

The presence of Carlos, the true leader of the rebel army, will also allow Marin to "play well" in the colony.

You know, Carlos already had 3000 resistance troops. If it is left to its development, it is estimated that Carlos will have seven or eight thousand resistance troops when the investigation team arrives. Moreover, its recurve bow will do more and more. Except that the arrow can only be made of stone (indigenous people will not smelt metal), the fighting power of this resistance army will be very amazing.

Of course, this means that in the face of the general army, the combat effectiveness of this group of people is not weak. But if Marin sent two thousand officers wearing rhinoceros armor ... the enemy ’s recurve bow and stone arrows would be in vain, and they could only accept the fate of failure ...

But before the rebels died, Marin was very much looking forward to their siege of Santo Domingo. At least, you can scare the Holy See investigation team and the observers of the five German princes.

Those rebels and Marin's resistance army in Guantanamo are not the same. In Guantanamo, Marin just let the 1000 "puppet troops" do what they want, and they can make up the momentum. But in Santo Domingo, it is estimated that there will be tough battles to fight.

And if you want the resistance to happen to besiege Santo Domingo when the investigation team arrives, this is also easy, as long as you send out a small group of elites, go ahead and provoke, then kill a few opponents, anger the opponent, the opponent will come Siege of Santo Domingo. At that time, the defenders of Santo Domingo could fight a brutal **** battle in front of the investigation team and scare those members of the investigation team and the five princely observers with blood.

This group of people was irritated, and they would naturally publicize the danger they saw with their own eyes after going back. Then, Marin has achieved his goal ...

...

Of course, those are half a year later. Now, Marin has just forcibly recruited 2,000 bricklayers, followed the building materials such as red brick and cement, and went to Guantanamo to build a castle.

As for the 4,000 Hungarian prisoners of war selected by Kleiman, they have just merged with the 1,000 North Sea veterans selected by Marin and are currently undergoing training. It is estimated that it will take two or three months to send to Cuba Island to carry out the mission. After all, these Hungarian prisoners of war are not familiar with the training methods of the North Sea army, and they are not professional enough.

According to the tradition of the North Sea army, recruits enlisted in the army for three months of devil training. Although this group of Hungarian prisoners of war also participated in the Hungarian peasant uprising war, they are not professional and require strict training before they can barely be regarded as soldiers ...

...

While handling the affairs of the American colonies, Marin also needed to review various documents from various parts of the country and other colonies.

After arranging related matters on the islands of Cuba and Haiti, Marin approved a document from the colony of Ayoun. The document states that Mosingen will lead the expedition to Timbuktu again ...

Speaking of Mossingen ’s expedition to Timbuktu, Mossingen had to mention the previous two expeditions. For the first time, under the guidance of two black slaves, Mosingen came to Timbuktu by mistake and exchanged dozens of pounds of sand. Then, this matter attracted Marin's attention and approved Mosingen's re-entry, intending to open up Timbuktu's salt and gold trade route.

However, Mossingen's second expedition was not smooth ...

Last year, Mosingen brought 100 Egyptian slaves trained by Mamluk cavalry and 20 musketeers to Timbuktu. At the same time, he also brought 5,000 pounds of salt in bags, and plans to replace it with gold.

But for this second expedition, Mosingen missed ...

Originally, Mossingen's team successfully arrived in Timbuktu, and successfully switched to the Golden Sands with salt. However, on their way home, they encountered huge trouble ...

Because of the emergence of Mosingen, many old North African businessmen's interests were violated. As a result, several caravans immediately turned their heads, intending to eat black and destroy Mossingen's team.

But Mossingen ’s team was so strong that they killed several North African caravans who had counted against them.

Then Mosingen swelled ...

After defeating several groups of provocative enemies, this man burst out in self-confidence, released words, and intended to monopolize the trade of salt and gold in Timbuktu. Then, completely angered other North African bearded businessmen ...

These North African bearded businessmen who dare to traverse the Sahara desert are not good at all. Ordinary people have no guts to traverse the dangerous and hot Sahara desert.

If a family could not win Mosingen, they would join dozens of companies to make up 1,400 scimitar cavalry ...

Moreover, it is the merchant Nasera from Egypt who is in charge of commanding this coalition. Nasera once served in the cavalry army of the Mamluk dynasty in Egypt and served as a middle-level officer. However, because they are not Mamluks of Turkic origin, but locals (Mamluk dynasty excludes locals in Egypt), they are not subject to reuse. Later, he was in conflict with a Mamluk nobleman, and after beating each other, he was expelled from the Egyptian army. Then, in order to make a living, Nasella was employed by Salah, a large Egyptian businessman who traveled between Egypt and Timbuktu, to protect Salah and trade gold between Egypt and Timbuktu.

This time Mosingen brought 100 puppet Mamluk cavalry from Egyptian slaves, plus 20 musketeers, the strength was too strong, and other families could not stand alone, so dozens of them united and elected to be cavalry officers Nasella served as commander in chief.

Nacera is very cunning. He knows that the other party is very powerful and has muskets. It is difficult to take advantage of head-on conflict. So he sent 500 of the weakest scimitar cavalry to attract Mossingen's attention on the front. Then, the remaining 900 people were divided into two parts, and they were copied from the left and right rears of Mosingen ...

After the 100 pseudo-Mamluk cavalry in Mosingen launched a charge, hundreds of scimitar cavalry suddenly rushed out from the left and right rear ...

These scimitar cavalry composed of the bodyguards of the bearded merchants, although their personal combat effectiveness is not as good as the pseudo-Mamuruk cavalry trained by the Mamluk cavalry, can be better than many people, and they are attacked from the back bread copy ...

So ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Mossingen's second expedition suffered a fiasco, 100 puppet Mamluk cavalry killed 46 people, and the musketeers lost seven. Not only that, the 5000 pounds of gold and sand from the transaction were also taken away by the enemy ...

Even Moxin was seriously injured, and his abdomen was opened by a machete ...

If it were not for those bearded businessmen who had conflicts over the ownership of the 5000-pound sands, they began to torture internally, and did not have the chance to pursue it. It is estimated that Mosingen ’s second expedition would die directly near Timbuktu ...

This time, Governor Ayun Korton bought 800 pseudo-Mamuruk cavalry from Egypt, and together with 100 musketeers, his strength was greatly enhanced.

Mossingen is also actively fighting this time, intending to make up for the last mistake, sweeping those North African bearded businessmen for Marin, and completely controlling this gold trade route in the Sahara Desert ...

Marin looked at it and thought there was no problem. Moreover, Mo Singen is also familiar with the route, plus the last time I suffered a loss, I should be careful this time. So, he approved the plans for Corton and Mosingen to re-enter the expedition, and looked forward to them winning the desert battle and robbing him of the profits of the Sands trade ...
