Chapter 144: Class teacher
That night, bursts of "strange sounds" came from the tents in the military camp area in Schleswig. These roaring soldiers held a group wedding during the day, and at night, they hugged their newly-wife-in-law in an impatient manner, and started in a military tent that was extremely soundproof ...
For a time, the whole camp was full of "strange sounds". At night, Marin went to inspect the military camp, and naturally felt these sounds rushing forward ...
Suddenly, Marin began to miss Angela and Felice ...
The next day, Marin summoned Schwartz, Stade and other generals and began to discuss the issue of stationing troops. The Principality of Schleswig is next to Denmark, and the Danes may not be convinced. So, here, there must be a large army stationed to prevent the Danes from coming back. You know, the Danes also have more than 10,000 troops. Although the capital was broken, more than 10,000 people in Sweden did not suffer much.
Therefore, in order to guard against the Danish attack, Marin decided to leave 10,000 troops stationed in the Principality of Schleswig, mainly in the northern region and the eastern coast, to guard against Danish attacks.
And Stade, as the commander of this 10,000 army, will sit in the city of Schleswig to guard against the Danish counterattack. In order to allow Stade to obtain timely intelligence, Schulte left 100 excellent scouts to use to probe the military intelligence in Denmark, so that Stade and the remaining 10,000 troops could leave enough responses. time.
In fact, the best commander in Marin's mind is Woolf Esbrand. However, Woolf Esbrand is from Nojiko. Although he has many ideas, he has not received the education of regular military command. Therefore, Marin intends to bring Woolf Esbrand back to East Friesland to train for a while. At the very least, it is necessary to let them learn the training methods of the East Frisian army and the application of the "Marin Phalanx" before they can entrust heavy tasks.
In order to ensure the safety of the soldiers, Marin decided to arrange a cement plant and a steel plant after returning to produce a batch of cement and steel bars, ship them to the Principality of Schleswig, and build a batch of steel bars in the northern part of the Principality of Schleswig. Concrete fortress, used to resist possible attacks by the enemy.
In addition, the steel plant will also be responsible for the production of multiple cast iron gates to equip several cities in the Principality of Schleswig. After all, after the war, Marin ’s artillery bombarded the oak city gate, and then the method of burying the gunpowder barrel deep to open the oak door has spread. Then use the oak door, that is, waiting for the other party to easily break the door.
Fortunately, the steel plant in East Friesland can produce several tons of steel a day, and a large iron gate can be made in two days. It's just that Marin has a headache-how does the big iron door prevent rust ...
Know that Marlin ’s current control areas are all near the sea and the climate is humid. In humid climates, iron doors are prone to rust.
This era is not a later generation, waterproof paint is easy to buy. Right now, there is no professional waterproof paint. Some paint is applied to the big iron door, although it can be waterproof in a short time. But as soon as it is soaked by rain, those paints will easily come off. Then, the big iron door is still easy to rust ...
Right now, the most realistic technique is tin plating and zinc plating. Tinplate is made of tinplate. Tinplate can prevent rust and corrosion, but tin-plated iron doors must not be scratched. Once the tin layer is scratched, the opening will easily start to rust.
Therefore, zinc plating is much more reliable than tin plating. The galvanized iron sheet is the legendary tin sheet that is not afraid of the sun. In the later generations, especially in the 1990s when the urban management hadn't yet gained power, there were a lot of iron sheds made of white iron on the street. However, after entering the 21st century, these iron sheds made of tinplate were demolished by the "strongest cosmos in the universe" and dismantled ...
Moreover, the galvanized tinplate is not afraid of scratches. As long as the scratched area is not too large, the tinplate is not easily corroded. Therefore, the tinplate in the later generations, the application range is extremely wide, and the price is not expensive.
It is just that, for now, there is no pure zinc in the world. Even for Huaxia, it was not until the reign of Emperor Jiajing that large-scale use of zinc-containing brass was used to cast copper coins. The specific extraction of zinc ingots is about the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Because Song Yingxing's "Tiangong Kaiwu" in the late Ming Dynasty recorded the method of extracting pure zinc.
And Europeans have been unable to master the method of extracting pure zinc. This is because, after the temperature reaches 906 degrees or more, zinc is easily converted into zinc vapor and volatilized. And the ordinary metal smelting reduction furnace, after adding carbon, the temperature can easily reach more than 1,000 degrees. Therefore, Europeans have not been able to obtain pure zinc. It was not until 1746 that it was discovered by a German chemist and confirmed as a new metal.
The mystery is that a condensation tube is added on the top of the reduction furnace. After the vapour of zinc volatilizes, it naturally transpires upwards. If a curved condenser tube is added to the furnace roof, there is water cooling outside the tube wall. That way, after the zinc vapor enters the condenser tube, it is easy to cool down and then adhere to the wall of the condenser tube. Then, scrape the crude zinc off the tube wall and further refine it to get pure zinc.
Thinking of this, Marin suddenly flashed a message in his mind-Europe's largest lead-zinc mine, it seems that it is Ireland's Tala lead-zinc mine. The Tala Lead-Zinc Mine is located underground on the Tara Mountain near Navan City, more than 40 kilometers northwest of Dublin. It was only discovered in 1970.
In this mine, the ore reserves reached 70 million tons, with 10.1% zinc and 2.7% lead. In other words, the ore produced by the Tara mine has a total zinc metal content of 7 million tons and a lead metal content of 1.89 million tons ...
7 million tons of zinc, how much tinplate can be made ......
Unfortunately, as far as Marin knows, Dublin and the surrounding area are now directly under the British royal family. Marin wanted, he had to ask Henry VII if he would agree ...
In accordance with the principle of voluntariness, Marin quickly selected 10,000 people from the remaining 19,000 troops and stayed in the Principality of Schleswig. Marin himself, with more than 9,000 people left, with a large number of animals and weights ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ and more than 10,000 people responsible for logistics, returned to East Friesland from the land.
After gaining the nominal sovereignty of Dietmarschen, Marin was amazed to find that-now in the German region (excluding the Netherlands), the North Sea coast area, except for the coastal area of the Archbishop of Bremen, fell into its own Under control ...
"Do I have to find a way to get the Archbishop of Bremen in my hands?" Marin thought about it, or gave up the idea temporarily.
In his opinion, it is more important to win the Bishop of Münster than to win the Archbishop of Bremen. Because, the southernmost part of the Bishop ’s Diocese of Münster is located in the Ruhr area.
According to the information collected by Marin's men, the Ruhr area currently mainly belongs to the tripartite forces-Markberg, Bishop of Münster, and Free City of Hanseatic Dortmund.
Among them, most of the coal mines in the Ruhr area are located in the territory of Markberg and partly in the territory of the Bishop of Münster. Even Essen, the headquarters of later Krupp Steel, currently belongs to the Bishop of Münster. Moreover, the local coal mining industry already exists. The free city of Hanseatic Dortmund, because of its small size, can only be exploited by individual coal mines outside the city.
As for the land on the west side of the Rhine, it belongs to the Principality of Cliff. However, there are no coal mines, mainly cultivated land along the river. There are coal mines, which are mainly concentrated in the northern part of the Macbeth, as well as in the southern end of the Bishop of Münster and near the free city of Hansa in Dortmund.
Just bring the father-in-law Archbishop Rovere to the position of the Pope, and then help the Pope to defeat Florence. Then, by the time Julius II, ascended to the position of Pope, he could give himself to the Bishop of Münster on the pretext of fighting against the Holy See. Owning the Bishop of Münster is equivalent to owning some coal mines in the Ruhr area, which is definitely a great deal ...
