Chapter 1660: America Matters

Marin was right, the Spaniard really planned to start. Gonzalo's army has begun to regroup in Sicily. As soon as the autumn harvest was completed, with the army Ding Zhuang and grain and grass in place, they began to fight back.

But Spain is mountainous and Sicily is not large. It seems unlikely that it is expected to meet the food needs of tens of thousands of troops. Although Sicily is a golden basin, the local abundance is expensive Duran wheat, which is a high-quality ingredient for pasta and cannot be eaten by ordinary soldiers. Therefore, Gonzalo proposed to ask the Spanish royal family to contact Marin to buy enough military food.

However, this time Marin's reaction was strange. Although he promised to provide food, he did not cover the entire share. Moreover, Gonzalo also made a suggestion-suggest that he go to grab food!

Where did he suggest Gonzalo to grab food? The Principality of Milan!

The Principality of Milan is currently under the control of the French, led by the German mercenary general Ludendorff who originally served in Spain.

However, Ludendorff is currently under the orders of Louis XII and ran to attack the Mistel Valley. He has not been able to overcome it yet, so he is deadlocked there ...

In fact, it was Ludendorff who was bought and attacked the Mistel Valley with no effort ...

These are not important. What is important is that the autumn harvest is coming to an end, and the Po River Plain in the Principality of Milan is Italy's first plain and the most important grain-producing region in Italy.

If no one intervenes, the food produced by the Po River Plain in the Principality of Milan will not only meet the needs of more than 10,000 troops of Ludendorff, but also compensate the French army. Perhaps, it can also be recruited by the French to rescue the rain disaster victims in the northeast region.

Therefore, Marin suggested that Gonzalo take troops to land from the south of the Principality of Milan, and then quickly attack the Po River Plain and **** the food produced by the Po River Plain.

As a result, the Principality of Milan, which was originally able to support French food, will need to support French food. And the Spanish army who grabbed the grain can also save a lot of money to buy grain ...

As for Ludendorff, Marin ’s opinion is that the two sides will play a fake fight and fool Louis XII ...

...

After Marin's secret letter was sent to Gonzalo de Cordoba, Gonzalo took this proposal very seriously. Because, after repeated calculations, he discovered that if the North went to Milan to grab food, and Ludendorff did not die with the Spanish, the French would be very uncomfortable.

At that time, do you want to send troops to reinforce Milan? Did you send Napoli's army to reinforce Milan, or send troops from home? It's a dilemma ...

The possibility of sending reinforcements from the city of Naples is unlikely. After all, the French have to prevent the Spaniards from taking advantage of it and seize the city of Naples by the sea. And sending reinforcements from the locals must be using more than 10,000 knights. In this way, the timing of Marin's original initiation of an uprising in the disaster area of ​​northeastern France is ripe ...

In short, this is a big pit, so the French have to jump ...

...

This autumn, not only in Europe, but also in North America at the same latitude, the autumn harvest is also in full swing. The 2.65 million immigrants who migrated from Württemberg helped harvest wheat as soon as they went.

Seeing the large fields of wheat in the colonies of New York and New Jersey, these Wurttemberg immigrants grew their mouths in surprise-is this not a dangerous "barren land"? How can there be so many wheat fields? Moreover, it is still the most precious wheat field ...

This is wheat, the most expensive wheat in grain! The Württemberg region is located in the southern part of Germany, but the locals have seen wheat. Because Württemberg is warmer than the North Sea country, the local rye is not grown, but mainly barley and wheat. However, because wheat needs much water, it is generally planted on the fertile soil by the river. In general, barley is also grown.

Moreover, the white noodles made from wheat are only eatable by the nobles and rich merchants. These civilians can only eat barley food ...

Moreover, in the southern region of Germany, when brewing beer, barley is also the mainstay. Only northern rye producing regions will brew rye mainly with rye. For example, after the civilization of Munich beer, the main raw material is barley. Many people may mistakenly think that Munich beer is dark beer. In fact, the local beer is mainly barley in southern Germany. Don't think that Munich's beer is dark beer. Munich's black is just a place name, and it has nothing to do with whether it is dark beer. It is the old rival of Munich, Dortmund in the north, because in the rye producing area, the local main is the dark beer.

In the astonishment of 2.65 million Wurttemberg immigrants, local English immigrants and newly arrived Wurttemberg immigrants joined forces to harvest wheat and thresh and dry it.

At that time, Albert, the governor of New York, used wheat to grind white flour, and invited these new immigrants to eat a meal of white bread that no one could dare to think of. But the local early German immigrants proudly told them-what is this? The locals mainly eat white bread!

In fact, white bread is not as nutritious as black bread. However, white bread has a good taste and is a status symbol in Europe. Only rich aristocrats and wealthy merchants can eat white bread. This kind of life is a heavenly good life in the eyes of the poor ...

It was probably brought to town by white bread. The 2.65 million Württemberg immigrants said nothing and accepted Albert's arrangement very honestly.

In order to prevent them from reciprocating with each other, Albert had deliberately disrupted the resettlement of the Württemberg immigrants from the households he was very familiar with.

Then, Albert also selected 3,000 strong, honest and honest people from these 2.65 million farmers, and stayed in New York with their families as guards.

These people will be trained by the original local garrison and become the main armed forces for the protection of New York.

Moreover, the original local garrison will also suspend external expansion during this period, but to monitor the new gang of immigrants.

After all, this group of new immigrants has a disgraceful origin. They are from insurgents ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Colonial security.

This kind of vigilance cannot be lifted until the apprentices sent by Bishop Taylor have educated the Wurttemberg immigrants from these rebels into obedient benefactors. In addition, Albert will also conduct a second round of recruiting to expand the size of the army.

In fact, the first round of recruiting did not follow the normal Beihai recruiting principles. Because, at the beginning, it was still about safety. If someone who is not honest and honest enough is recruited as a soldier, there may be a rebellion.

Therefore, for the first time recruiting from this group, Albert followed Marin's instructions and prioritized reliability over bravery. After a year or two, this group of immigrants has been educated before they can start recruiting again. At that time, it was only possible to use the principle of recruiting soldiers from the North Sea country to give priority to brave and obedient people. Then, form a colony of 10,000 people. If necessary, this legion will be transferred to the mainland to participate in the possible religious war ...

But first, the main task of the first colonies of the colony was to supervise the logging of wasteland by immigrants; second, to cross the Delaware River to the west, while organizing logging, and drove the local indigenous people to expand the land for reclamation ...
