Chapter 1635: Egyptian Legion

Gold was the standard hard currency in this era, because, if cast into gold coins, it can be circulated in the world. Like the 70-pound sands returned by Mosingen, it can be minted into 8,918 gold coins. With more points, 10,000 gold coins can be minted.

According to Mosingen, in the Timbuktu market, as long as there is enough salt, thousands of pounds of sand can be exchanged casually ...

Thousands of pounds of sand! That's a few tons of gold! Marin was very excited, but this is something at his fingertips. After all, his salt base at Cape Breton Island makes salting too simple. As long as there is coal, just cook salt. Moreover, Marin can also expand the scale of salt cooking at any time in Newcastle. Marin had the most salt or something.

Not only that, Ayoun can cook salt locally!

Although there is no coal to cook salt in Ayoun, you can use a solar stove! Ayoun is basically not raining, the sun is extremely abundant, and the temperature is also high. As long as you set up a solar stove by the sea, you can cook salt. Moreover, by adding a condenser tube system, it is also possible to produce distilled water while boiling salt. By then, salt and fresh water will serve two purposes.

The only problem is that if the shipments are too large, it will offend Arab businessmen in North Africa. If the Arab beards were angry, they would definitely use a scimitar to hack Ayun ’s camels. After all, the exchange of salt for gold has always been a ban on the bearded North Africans. Last time Mosingen passed, only 100 pounds of sand were traded, which is not an eye-catcher. If you take thousands of pounds of salt in the past and exchange thousands of pounds of sand, it will definitely anger those bearded beasts in North Africa.

At that time, for the sake of gold, the two sides must be endless ...

If faced with war, the North Sea State can abuse those North African bearded bead 10,000 times. But the problem is that if the other party cuts people, they will definitely be in the desert. Most of the soldiers in the North Sea country can hardly bear the harsh climate in the Sahara desert.

Thinking about it, Marin decided to spend money to buy Mamluk fighting slaves from Egypt!

Of course, what Marin wanted to buy was not the authentic Circassian Mamluk slave cavalry, that was the cornerstone of the Mamluk dynasty and could not be sold.

The only thing Marin wanted to buy was the Egyptian Mamluk dynasty nobles who used the Mamluk cavalry training method to train the Egyptian native slaves.

Right now, because the supply of Circassian slaves has been cut off for more than 40 years, there are very few authentic Mamluks in Egypt. There are only descendants of Mamluk slaves, or pseudo-Mamluk slaves selected and cultivated among local slaves.

However, the descendants of the Mamluk cavalry may not be as brave as their father and grandfather. The main reason is that the real Mamluk cavalry, the training is extremely cruel, and the elimination rate is very high. Just like the killer training camp of later generations, being eliminated means death. The Mamluk cavalry who insisted on from the dead are all the top masters of cavalry.

But the Mamluk nobles' training of their children is certainly not so cruel. At the very least, it will not endanger their children. But this kind of training without death threats is actually not up to standard, and the real combat effectiveness is not as good as the authentic Mamluk. In particular, when faced with death, it may collapse. The real Mamluk has long been used to life and death, and has long been indifferent to this.

But even so, when the "Dabik Grassland War" broke out in 1517 in history, the two cavalry battled, and the Egyptian pseudo-Mamuruk cavalry, beat the Turkish cavalry to life. Had it not been for the Turks ’guns and guns and the collapse of the local Syrian army in Egypt, Egypt might have won the war.

Therefore, among the Middle Eastern cavalry, the Mamluk cavalry's combat power is definitely ranked first, even if it is a pseudo-Mamluk who has not experienced life and death.

Marin intends to buy thousands of pseudo-Mamuruk slaves cultivated by local Egyptian slaves from Egypt, and then let them be the guards of the camels. If there is a North African bearded dare to come and cut people, let these pseudo-Mamluk cavalry shot, let those North African businessman guards try, what is the strongest scimitar cavalry ...

In fact, these cruelly trained Mamluk cavalry are estimated to be the world leader in personal horse fighting ability. Even Napoleon said, "2 Mamluk cavalry will definitely win 3 French cavalry, 100 French cavalry, and 100 Mamluk cavalry are evenly matched against 300 French cavalry. 1500 Mamluk cavalry "...

This shows that the Mamluk cavalry has super personal fighting power, and even the top European cavalry can not single out. However, the Mamluk cavalry is not as disciplined as the modern cavalry in France. With a large number of people, the disadvantages become apparent. Moreover, at that time, Europe already had a wall-type charge specifically for restraining the scimitar cavalry. Therefore, if the emperor was on the scale, he would definitely defeat the Mamluk cavalry.

However, if there is no modern cavalry and no wall charge, the Egyptian Mamluk cavalry is probably the best among the classic cavalry.

Malin intends to introduce some fake Mamluk cavalry trained by Egyptian slaves this time. In addition to protecting the gold trade camel team, he also intends to steal Mamluk training methods.

If the German Cossacks will also use the Mamluk cavalry training method in the future, even if it is a fake version of the training method of the undead, it will also allow the German Cossacks' combat effectiveness to a higher level.

Moreover, German Cossack has good discipline. Once they are trained, strong personal fighting skills, plus the modern training and tactics of the Beihai Kingdom, will surely be able to dominate the world.

...

Malin suddenly remembered something, he took out the map of Africa and began to recall carefully. Then, he finally remembered that it seemed that Mossingen took the trade route in the desert, which was exactly the route of the demise of the Songhai Empire after the Saad Dynasty in Morocco after 76 years!

It seems that the Moroccan Saad dynasty, just dispatched 4,000 mercenaries, along the desert road south of Timbuktu, defeated the 30,000 troops of the Songhai Empire.

Moreover, of these 4,000 expeditionary forces, 2,500 of them were European musketeers from Spain. They are all mercenaries. In particular, the 4,000 people who turned out to be a Spanish **** named Judar. The tactics they use are also the Spanish phalanx ...

It is said that at the time of the Battle of Tondibi, the Sultan Ishak II of Sanhai was in a daze, and actually drove 1,000 cattle to the front of both sides, intending to use it to block the enemy's guns.

However, Ishak II probably had not heard of "Fire Bull Formation". As a result, under the impact of these 1,000 cowboy Spanish 2500 musketeers, not only did they fail to block the firepower, but instead they turned around and shocked the Songhai Empire's military formation, which disrupted the formation of the Songhai Empire. Rock up my feet ...

Forget about Marin, his army also uses the Spanish phalanx. Therefore, the same four to five thousand people can also destroy the Songhai Empire ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~, except that the harsh climate of the tropical desert in West Africa may become the biggest obstacle. After all, native Europeans may have difficulty adapting to the tropical desert climate of West Africa.

But if you buy pseudo-Mamuruk slaves from Egypt, those pseudo-Mamuruk slaves from Egyptian slaves can certainly adapt to the tropical desert climate. Because the native Egypt also has a tropical desert climate, they are used to it.

In addition, Marin will buy a group of ordinary Egyptian slaves. Among these people, Marin will send officers to train them into musketeers and spearmen. At that time, they may be used to attack Timbuktu ...

The price of those Mamluk slaves in Egypt is also very high, each slave price exceeds 100 gold coins. After all, this is from small training to large combat cavalry. If you buy 1,000, you will need 100,000 gold coins. Marin thought again and again, planning to buy 500 Egyptian Mamluk fighting slaves to form a Mamluk cavalry regiment.

As for ordinary Egyptian slaves, it is cheaper, and some 10 gold coins can be bought. It does n’t cost much to buy a few thousand ...

In this way, between Marin's thoughts, the "Egyptian Legion", which spread across Africa, was born ...
