Chapter 1105: The wandering knight is here

Marin was a layman to painting, and after Dürer's reminder, he realized that the original oil paintings are usually on canvas. As a result, he had to send people to buy suitable canvases everywhere so that he could take them to Daming for use.

However, those 10 warships have already started and it is more difficult to catch up. Therefore, Marin can only send another ship, first sent to Panama, and then wait for the fleet to arrive before loading the ship. Fortunately, the canvas is light and does not take up space.

But in fact, European paintings not only have oil paintings, but also a single-color painting called sketch. Moreover, Dürer is one of the master figures. For example, the hands and feet of Dürer's paintings seen by Marlin in the later generations are actually monochrome sketches.

Moreover, Dürer told Marin that drawing is much easier to create than oil painting. With his ability, he can quickly draw a portrait of the next person, and it is very similar.

"Isn't this a sketch?" Marin suddenly remembered that the later police station seemed to ask the painter to quickly draw the suspect according to the description of the witness to help solve the case.

In later generations, Dürer was evaluated as a master of sketching by people in the art world, and he also published art books such as "Sketching of Dürer". However, the word sketching seems to have been coined by China. In fact, sketching is just a kind of sketch. To be precise, Dürer is a master of sketching.

The sketch does not need a canvas, just plain paper. Under the witness of everyone, Dürer quickly used charcoal to draw a very sketchy portrait of the Marin family. Marin was so happy that he quickly put away all these paintings. However, considering the factors of long-term preservation, Marin asked Dürer to use the quill pen with better preservation to absorb ink, and created several sketch portraits. Ink is easier to adsorb on paper than charcoal powder, and it is also easier to store for a long time. After all, this is a work of art that is more valuable for long-term preservation.

And Marin also decided that after Daming, only Zhengde Emperor, Liu Jin and a few big men would use more time-consuming and labor-intensive paintings. For ordinary ministers, just give a sketch. Anyway, Dürer draws sketches quickly and doesn't waste much time.

...

As time went into July, wandering knights from all over Germany began to gather in Emden Harbour, waiting for the knight competition meeting.

It seems that it was stimulated by the quota of 50 caiqi knights with fiefs. There were a lot of knights coming to participate in the contest, and actually more than a thousand people surprised Marin.

Fortunately, Marin did not let those knights enter Emden City, otherwise, the city may be really scourge by these people. Moreover, most of these wandering knights are accompanied by servants, and the total number is four or five thousand. The population of Emden City is no more than 20,000. If these people are really allowed to enter the city, there is not enough place to live.

In order to prevent these brave and combative knights from making trouble, Marin urgently dispatched 10,000 people of the Second Legion and was stationed outside Emden City, ready to suppress the trouble at any time. Although each of these knights can fight several, the Second Legion has more than two thousand musketeers, which are specifically used to deal with plate armored knights. No matter how high your martial arts are, how thick the armor is, one shot down ...

"Good boy, more than a thousand people compete for 50 positions, and an average of more than 20 people grab a seat. Why am I thinking of the national exam in the civil service examination of the previous life?" Marin sucked his mouth and was shocked.

In fact, Marin had recruited homeless knights in his early years, but the results were not so good. Why? Because when Marin solicited the wandering knight, his status was awkward and was hostile to many princes. In addition, there were powerful enemies like Saxony and Brandenburg at that time, so many wandering knights felt that Marin's status was in jeopardy and they could not guarantee themselves. Therefore, not many people were willing to come to him.

But now it is different. Marin has defeated those major enemies, and the Huffman family's dominance has stabilized. Moreover, Ireland to Adler is not a dangerous place. Therefore, many talents are happy to sign up.

In fact, these wandering knights are more willing to serve Marlin who has already settled down. It is a pity that Marin has enough manpower, and many officers of civilian origin have already been trained, and there is no need to recruit wandering knights for the time being. Moreover, as Marin's original group of young officers were about to grow up, he did not need to recruit those wandering knights. Even if recruited, Marin is only willing to recruit homeless knights whose whole family is willing to move to the North Sea.

why? Because Marin is afraid of leaking. The agricultural production in the North Sea country is so high, it would be serious if a wandering knight's family was not here and accidentally leaked the secret. The family is all in Beihai, and no one dared to leak secrets. Unless, he wants the whole family to go to hell.

Even, after the Emperor Frensberg has been put into effect, Marin has reached an agreement with him-Marin provides him with a large number of bagged compound fertilizers every year, but Frensberg must keep agricultural secrets and not leak them to the Emperor. . Otherwise, Marin asked Kohler to assassinate the family of Frensberg ...

Frensberg is a wise man, and he will not fail to know how powerful it is. Moreover, Kohler specially sent him to show him a preview of the assassination at short range using a clockwork to fire. Even if the assassin is wearing plate armor, it is useless to have guards to protect him. In addition, the secret is kept, and there is also a fertilizer supply at home, which can produce high yields. If the confidentiality is announced, everyone will be high-yield, and their own grain will not be sold at high prices. For this simple reason, Franzberg is clearly very clear. Therefore, he will not talk nonsense.

...

The arrival of thousands of knights and their attendants brought great pressure to the port of Emden. Accommodation is no problem, after all, Marin took out a camp tent for the army, that is enough. However, when eating, that absolute pressure is huge. After all, it was four or five thousand mouths, and more than one thousand of them were noble children.

Those servants, the treatment is very simple. For each meal, just give a piece of Kohler black bread, and then give a glass of poor quality beer to pass.

But the more than a thousand wandering knights came from aristocratic families, and even the lowest knights' families are considered aristocratic families. Therefore, Marin needs to entertain well so as not to be considered rude.

The phenomenon of dying for face, not only in China, but also in Europe. Aristocratic families are very taboo and said that they are "disrespectful" and "stingy". Generally speaking, noble families can be brutal and miserly towards the common people, but they should never be rude to visiting nobles. When nobles or noble children come to visit, they must be warmly entertained and pay attention to their appearance. Otherwise, people will be despised. And entertaining nobles from all walks of life is also the biggest expense for noble families. Otherwise, how much does it cost to eat and drink at home? Because they warmly entertain other visiting aristocrats, and pay attention to the appearance. Therefore, the European nobility is costly, and many nobles need to borrow money to spend their lives.

And Marin is also considered luck, because the background is low, those big nobles generally look down on him. Therefore, there are few big nobles visiting. Otherwise, the cost of entertaining princes every year is also very large. And Marin has no princes to visit, so the annual hospitality fee is not much, and it is considered a blessing due to misfortune.

...

But in any case, the wandering knights who came to participate in the contest are all guests of the Huffman family, and they are all guests of noble families, and they should not be rude.

Of course ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Most of these wandering knights are children of low-level noble families. Otherwise, it will not become a wandering knight. If the son of the earl family is not well mixed, the earl will help arrange it, at least to become a cavalry knight.

But the non-eldest son of the baron and the knights was not so lucky, because the baron and the knights did not have much land and could not be divided anymore. Therefore, many of the non-eldest sons of the baron family, as well as the majority of the non-eldest sons of the cavaliers, had to be reduced to wandering knights.

Treating these wandering knights from low-level aristocratic families, Marin is also at ease. Otherwise, coming to a prince ’s prince ’s house, Marin is so troublesome to send a minister to receive him.

For the wandering knights from these low-level noble families, there is no need to be so troublesome. Anyway, even if their father was a baron, they could not get in the eyes of Marin.

Therefore, for these wandering knights, Marin directly arranged for them to live in military camp tents, and also called it "feeling the atmosphere of the battlefield" ... in fact, it is to save hospitality ...

But the wandering knights aspired to make contributions on the battlefield. They just ate this set and lived in the barracks with peace of mind. Moreover, many wandering knights who have not been on the battlefield are still watching around the camp, learning the methods of camping ...
