Chapter 1467: Surround Wei to save Zhao? France indifferent
How expensive was the blue dye in ancient Europe? It is said that there is a pigment called ultramarine (dark blue) in ancient Europe, which is very versatile and is often used in oil paintings. However, this pigment was very expensive in ancient times.
How expensive is it? The same weight of ultramarine pigment is five times that of gold. Moreover, ancient European ultramarine pigment has only one source-lapis lazuli produced in Afghanistan. As for the blue of indigo grass, it is close to cyan, just like the blue on the Scottish flag of later generations, which belongs to blue and cyan. The Prussian blue is dark blue, similar to ultramarine (ultramarine is also dark blue).
Because the ultramarine is currently too expensive, it has to be imported from Afghanistan. Therefore, the cost of oil painting is now quite high. After all, ultramarine is an important raw material for oil painting. It is said that Michelangelo gave up a certain creation because of the insufficient youth.
Later, after the emergence of Prussian blue, a color-stable dye, many painters began to switch to lower-cost Prussian blue instead of expensive ultramarine. After all, the average painter can't afford an Afghan ultramarine that is cheaper than gold.
Generally speaking, Ultramarine is exported from Central Asia to West Asia, and then sold to Venetian merchants at high prices by Arab merchants in West Asia. After the Venetian merchants said that Ultramarine was shipped back to Europe, the price was more expensive than gold.
Moreover, in the oil painting, ultramarine is the special color of the Virgin Mary, which is very noble. In fact, it is mainly because Ultramarine is expensive. Expensive things are naturally used for noble objects ...
The Prussian blue that appeared later, although there is a certain difference from ultramarine. But because they are all dark blue, they are adopted by many poor painters instead of ultramarine. Mainly, cheap ...
This year, dark blue is a symbol of tallness in Europe, which means expensive. Marin suddenly didn't want to promote dark blue clothing in the army so early. If it is used as a military uniform, it is a little bit forced. So, let's make more money while taking advantage of it ...
...
Here, Marin has a headache for Angela who likes to walk in the rain. Angela has been pregnant for several months and is now a big belly. By the way, this lady-in-law likes to walk in the rain, saying that it is very poetic ...
Ma Linke is poetic or not, he only knows that there is a child in this mother-in-law's belly, if you walk on rainy days, there is a windbreaker type raincoat, but she is not worried about her rain. However, the road is slippery on rainy days. If you accidentally fall, you may have to take at least one life, either big or small, you may take it together ...
So, next, Marin forced Angela to go crazy on rainy days. This mother-in-law, who has a big belly, can't use her corset, but she likes rainy days. Despite the publicity for the raincoat, Marin paid more attention to the children in her belly ...
On the other side of the medical department, the side-cutting technique has been developed and has been upgraded from delivering animals to delivering humans. After Angela production, it is almost ready to be applied. Then, the things with low technical content, such as forceps, were also made. In short, the risk factor for Angela ’s production should be low ...
...
While Marin was busy working on raincoats and paints, there was a lot of war in southern Europe. Gonzalo de Cordoba is Spain's first general. After learning that the French were going to stay in Naples for a decisive battle, Gonzalo de Cordoba adjusted his tactics, intending to transfer the French army, or some French troops, from Naples first ...
After all, the French army of 70,000 or 80,000 people is in a strong city like Naples, even if Gonzalo de Cordova calls himself a famous general, it is very helpless.
Therefore, Gonzalo de Córdoba intends to take some actions to distract the French and force the other to divide troops ...
...
Then, Gonzalo de Cordova contacted the Aragonese navy and asked them to block the maritime traffic line of the Kingdom of Naples. Then, the Aragonese navy attacked the port of Marseille, posing a gesture of attacking the port of Marseille. The purpose is to "encircle Wei to rescue Zhao" and force the French to divide troops.
However, what depresses Gonzalo de Cordoba is that Louis XII does not seem to care about the dangers of Marseille. The Spaniards repeatedly bombarded and harassed Marseille, but they did not allow the French in the city of Naples to be separated. Obviously, Louis XII was determined this time to rely on the decisive battle between the Naples and the Spaniards. As for Marseille, he really didn't care ...
The only thing that can make Louis XII care is that Paris is in danger. However, Louis XII accepted the suggestion of John Lafite and placed 20,000 militiamen in the military camp outside Paris to pretend to be defenders. But because the secret work is done well, in addition to Marin's knowledge, other countries really think that France has left more than 20,000 people to guard Paris. Therefore, no one would fight Paris.
Therefore, Gonzalo de Cordova's plan to "encircle Wei to save Zhao" failed ...
...
In desperation, Gonzalo de Cordoba had to withdraw the Spanish army and warships that surrounded and posed as a siege. Then, the Spanish army began landing in the port of Salerno, not far from the city of Naples, the capital of the Kingdom of Naples.
It's not too far from Naples city, it's only ten kilometers away from Pompeii. After landing here, you can reach Naples City in just over a year, which is convenient.
Gonzalo de Cordoba has realized that this time the other party made it clear that he will die with the Spanish in Naples. He had no choice but to send troops to encircle Naples first. At least, we must cut off the source of the French supply ...
Wait until the supply is cut off. After all, Gonzalo de Cordoba is not a fool. In the face of a larger number of enemies, the siege is estimated to not only cause heavy losses, but may also fail ...
...
This is the national war, the top national war ...
The combined size of the two armies already has more than one hundred thousand troops. Remember, it is really a hundred thousand army ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ is not the kind of fake army that gathers grain and transports people.
No one can afford to lose here. Because once a party loses, the price is too high. The most direct is to lose the Kingdom of Naples.
This is still light. Losing the Kingdom of Naples is just losing territory. But if the tens of thousands of troops are folded in Naples, the ruined one may be the National Games ...
The fate of the country is often linked to the victory or defeat of the war. If the war is won, the country will prosper and become stronger. The war is lost ... the country may also be in a state of collapse ...
...
Whether it is French King Louis XII or Spain's supreme commander Gonzalo de Cordoba, they dare not make a joke about the future and destiny of the country.
Therefore, both sides are especially careful not to affect the development of the National Games ...
