There are still three caves in the cunning rabbit, and Marin will naturally not hang on a tree. After India's copper share was squeezed, Marin could only count on Ming Dynasty copper and Japanese copper. However, the two alone are not insurance.

Mainly, Marin was unable to intervene in the development and sales of these two copper mines. There was no problem with the development of Dexing Copper Mine in the Ming Dynasty. But in sales, Marin doesn't know how much he can get. On the Ashio Copper Mountain, sales of Marlin may be able to use force to grab the share, but development is hard to say. If it can't be done, Marin will be busy again. And if he personally sent an army to land and occupy the Copper Mountain at Foot Tail, Marin would not have this strength within a few years, and he would not be able to vacate his manpower.

Then he remembered what appeared to be a Toledo copper mine on the island of Cebu in the Philippines. This copper mine was once the number one copper mine in Southeast Asia. And, the point is-the Toledo copper mine is on the seaside of Cebu Island!

Marin remembers that he had seen a satellite map before. On Cebu Island, Cebu City is on the east coast of the central part of Cebu Island, and Toledo, which happens to be on the west coast at the same latitude as Cebu City...

If it is a copper mine deep inland, but also in the tropics, Marin may not be willing to send someone to develop it. But, by the sea... This colonist is good at it!

But there is a question-whose territory is the Philippine Islands?

Marin looked at the map, and it seemed that the Philippines was directly below Taiwan Island. In other words, it is located at the same longitude as Taiwan Island. From the "Rome Treaty", it seems to belong to the island east of the daimyo...

In other words, even if the Contés occupy this island, it is difficult for Portugal to wrestle. At most, Palawan Island in the west can be allocated to Portugal because its longitude lies to the west. Anyway, that island, even in the 21st century, I have never heard of any important mineral deposits on the island.

In his letter to Conte, Marin drew a rough map of the Philippine Islands, as well as the outline of Cebu Island and the approximate location of the Toledo copper mine. When Kong Tai received the letter, he only had to send someone to find the general location according to the diagram. Then, I dispatched craftsmen to look for mines...

As for craftsmen, they spent money to hire in the Ming Dynasty. Or, bribery of civilian officials, it is more straightforward to get a group of craftsmen directly. Moreover, I am not worried about betrayal. Because the craftsman is equivalent to a servant, and the contract is in hand, equivalent to the subordinate who has signed a death contract. As long as they control their family members, they are not afraid of breaking the waves.

And the miners who develop copper mines... this is a bit troublesome, but you can grab some indigenous people to mine...

But who should be photographed to catch indigenous miners? Marin thought for a while, and started planning to hire Ming pirates. But after thinking about it, these people are only profitable and seem unreliable...

When going to Ganfushuizi to stay overnight, Marin looked at Ganfu Nobunaga, who was playing in the mud in the yard, and thought of an idea-hire a Japanese samurai...

Although Japan is currently in the era of the village chief's war, there is a market for samurai. However, there is no shortage of famous names who have been defeated. The samurai who originally gathered around these daimyo will inevitably be forced to wander. A few decades later, these warriors, who were forced to wander, became the main force and the strongest fighting force in attacking Japanese pirates on the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, there are not many such wandering warriors, but some people have begun to harm the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty. However, at this time, they attacked merchant ships more often at sea, jumping off the ship to help cut people.

After a few years, the scale of the war within Japan became larger and larger, and more and more warriors were defeated and exiled. After all, it became a scale and became a huge hazard to the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty.

But now, the great pirate Wang Zhi has not gone to sea, let alone go to Japan. In other words, the Japanese pirates who crossed the southeast coast later did not look at the Ming Dynasty at first. But Wang Zhi took the lead and led them to recognize the way. After Wang Zhi died, these Japanese pirates who lost control became a huge disaster in the Ming Dynasty...

...

Marin didn't want to evaluate Wang Zhi's merits or demerits, but he was very interested in the process of Wang Zhi's fortune. It can be said that Wang Zhi has a great influence on the history of Japan. Besides, the matchlock gun was introduced to Japan by him.

In addition, Japan’s Warring States period was able to escalate from a fight between village chiefs to a battle of tens of thousands of people. Wang Zhi’s contribution to selling weapons and various materials from the past was very great.

Before Wang Zhi went to Japan, the local daimyo could be armed with 5,000 men, which was considered very powerful. As soon as Wang Zhi passed by, he brought more than 20,000 pirates, scared those Japanese daimyos who only dared to hide on the wall and watch Wang Zhi's fleet pass by and show off.

Then, these daimyo used the resources in the territory to actively trade with Wang Zhi in exchange for the weapons and armors they needed, and even matchlock guns. Then, the village chief was upgraded to become a stubborn earth tyrant...

Oda Nobunaga, the so-called "Buwu Tianxia", is only because he has an iron cannon team, that is, a matchlock team. How many iron cannons does he have? According to the record, it was "iron cannons and a thousand ties", that is, thousands of arquebuses.

This amount, in Marin's view, is nothing to say. You know, he has 2500 musketeers in any army of ten thousand people, that is, 2500 musketeers. Moreover, they are now upgraded to clockwork flintlocks, and no longer a matchlock that is afraid of wind and rain.

It can be seen that Oda Nobunaga is so arrogant in Japanese history books that his strength is no more than that of Marin's 10,000-person army. Really fighting, Marin's ten thousand army can wipe out a large group of "village chiefs."

The only thing that troubles Marin is how to maintain the rule after defeating the "village chiefs." Because Japanese samurai are good at assassination, if they don’t pay attention, they can kill a lot of garrisons in the middle of the night. Therefore, Marin hesitated to send troops. Then, I thought of using the native blood of Gan Fu Shuizi and Gan Fu Nobunaga to control the local area.

...

Of course, controlling Japan is a future thing. At the moment, what Marin wants to do is actually hire a group of defeated and wandering Japanese samurai. Help him to control Cebu Island, especially the Toledo Copper Mine on Cebu Island.

Despite the small stature of the Japanese samurai, ordinary people can't handle it with a sharp samurai sword. Besides, because people are short and short, don't they still use this method to offset the difference in height?

Besides, the Malays in Southeast Asia are actually not very high. Filipinos in later generations, the average height of men is only 1.62 meters. In order to achieve success in basketball, they had no choice but to naturalize black Americans because of insufficient domestic talents. Using means, some achievements have been achieved.

The Philippines is still a barbaric era, and the average height of people is even lower. Therefore, a Japanese samurai with a height of about 1.4 meters or 1.5 meters, as long as it is equipped with a sharp katana and the technique of jumping and splitting to make up for the height difference can still be suppressed.

Moreover, being short is also good. You can also be more flexible when drilling in the tropical rain forest.

As long as the treatment is enough Wang Zhi can hire thousands of down-and-out Japanese samurai, and so can Marin!

In fact, those wandering Japanese samurai are very well supported. It is said that they have three meals a day, as long as they eat seaweed rice balls. You say eating meat? You are not allowed to eat meat. If they eat meat, they won't be so short...at most, they get some fish to eat from time to time...

Of course, wages still have to be paid. But Marin estimated that hiring hundreds of down-and-out Japanese samurai would be enough to control the Toledo and Toledo copper mines. In addition, it is the vine players from Kongtai who are stationed there. The rattan players are responsible for safeguarding the safety of the copper mines, while the Japanese samurai are thugs who are responsible for suppressing the resistance of the locals.

Although these Japanese samurai are all Japanese pirates, it is not a good thing. However, they only harmed the local indigenous people, and Marin didn't feel bad about it. As long as you can get a lot of copper ingots, that's enough...

Moreover, the hiring of these wandering Japanese warriors was a disguised form for the Ming Dynasty to solve the disaster on the southeast coast. Marin didn't hire them, maybe they would join the Japanese pirates and harm the southeast coast of Ming...
