Chapter 1789: Exercise your men with the high temperature of the smelter

♂ ?,

The mission to go to the Goslar Silver Mine to select Hungarian prisoners willing to go to Cuba and Haiti was handed over to the Kleiman Knight. It should be pointed out that this Clayman, the younger brother of Kahn and Kohler, Marin went to Kahn's house for the first time as a guest and saw this guy.

It's just that Kleiman was a little sad. He couldn't keep up with his elder brother Kahn by force, and his mind couldn't keep up with his second brother Kohler. Then, it became a half-hanging thing. But his family is very prominent in the North Sea Kingdom, the eldest brother Kahn and the second brother Kohler, is now the third-class earl of the North Sea Kingdom, that is, the earl (the earl is divided into earl, deputy earl and third earl, and so on. Of course, there is currently only one rank for the Duke and above, and no opponents have been opened yet.) Although the earl is the lowest earl in the North Sea, he is also earl.

One count and two counts is both glory and pressure for Klayman, an incompetent guy. With the help of the two older brothers, he is now just barely mixing a hereditary knight, and the status of the two older brothers is a whopping ten thousand miles away.

Not that Kahn and Kohler refused to help him, but that he did not have enough credit ...

This time he went to the Goslar silver mine to select the Hungarian prisoners of war, and Kahn won this opportunity for Kleiman. If you perform well, and then go to the colony to fight two battles, you may be able to mix the merits. After the war effort has accumulated to a certain extent, plus the help of two brothers, a baron can still be mixed.

Before Kleinman's departure, Kohler, the smarter brother, raised his ears and told him for a long time. Kleiman also listened in. After all, he was not stupid.

After arriving in Goslar, after entering the Rammelsberg Silver Mine for an inspection, Kleman suddenly discovered that this matter seemed very simple!

What a simple method? Because Kleiman discovered that in the Rammelsberg silver mine, in addition to the miners who go down to mine, there is also a smelting area on the surface where the smelting furnace is concentrated, and the mined and screened silver ore is put into the blast furnace Smelt into silver.

And there are more than 7,000 Hungarian prisoners who are responsible for smelting silver ...

In addition to hundreds of skilled craftsmen who are truly in charge of the blast furnace, most of the smelting area is responsible for carrying the screened refined ore and climbing the ladder to pour the ore into the furnace at the top of the blast furnace. These coolies have been handed over to the Hungarian prisoners of war since they arrived. In addition, after the smelting, they will carry the silver melt in the container, pour it into the model, and cast it into silver nuggets and silver bars ...

These jobs not only require much effort, but also the working environment is quite hot, which is similar to the temperature in the blacksmith shop. A high temperature of forty to fifty degrees is common, even reaching 60 degrees. Therefore, most of the Hungarian prisoners of war working in the workshops of the smelting area are mostly shirtless, sweating all over their bodies and looking greasy.

"It's all right!" Kleiman snapped his fingers happily at the scene.

Earlier, both Marin and Kohler had told him to ask him to investigate who was more heat-resistant. At this point, I can see at a glance-the prisoners who have been working in the smelting area for a year, are they afraid of heat? He had heard that the temperature in the blacksmith's shop was higher than that in Cuba. The more than 7,000 Hungarian prisoners of war who worked in the smelting area for a year must have adapted to the high-temperature environment.

Moreover, these long-term efforts to carry ore on the top of the furnace are usually not small. Otherwise, it will not be selected as the coolie of the smelting area.

Therefore, Kleinman directly selected 4,000 Hungarian prisoners who were honest and willing to learn German from the coolies of the more than 7,000 smelting areas, and took them directly back. And these Hungarian prisoners who worked hard in the smelting area were willing to go to Cuba to serve as soldiers. After all, it is also very hard to work hard every day in smelting areas that are hotter than tropical regions. Why not go to the colony to be uncle?

As for the mine, there is a problem because the labor of 4000 smelting areas is lost all at once? Kleiman said-select another batch of top chant ...

Kleiman said well, after all, when the group of Hungarian prisoners of war had just arrived, didn't they also have so many smelting areas? Big deal, pick another batch ...

And Kleiman's selection of the coolie to adapt to the tropical climate also made Marin more appreciated. After all, those who can work in the smelting area must not be afraid of heat, so they will not worry about the problem of disappointment in the future.

Of course, this does not mean that they went to the Cuban island, and they can adapt to the local environment at once. After all, the high temperature in the smelting area is dry. The islands of Cuba and Haiti have a tropical and humid climate. After arriving there, they still have to adapt for a while. At most, they are easier to adapt to the local climate than those who are afraid of heat, and the adaptation time will be greatly shortened.

"Maybe, we can follow this approach to train soldiers who adapt to the tropical climate?" Sauer suggested.

Sauer believes that people who are used to high temperature environments such as blacksmith shops and smelters must be more likely to adapt to the tropical climate. Moreover, this method can also be used to test who cannot adapt to the hot climate. After all, some people who are afraid of heat cannot stay in blacksmith shops and smelters.

"Alright, just do it!" Marin thought Sauer's proposal was good. First of all, through the hot climate of the blacksmith shop and smelter, you can also select people who are really unable to adapt to the hot climate, and you will have to change when you get it. You know, in the colonies of Cuba, Grenada and Panama, Marin has changed more than two hundred times. No way, those people really don't adapt to the tropical climate and are very afraid of heat. After arriving in the tropical colony, although he will not die of malaria, he will be soft-hearted, weak, and very uncomfortable. This has something to do with people's physique. Some people are naturally afraid of cold, some people are naturally afraid of heat, and some people are afraid of cold and heat.

After making a decision, Marin further perfected the plan, deciding-in the future, to select the coolies of the silver mine smelting area, priority will be given to Hungarian prisoners who are honest and obedient and willing to learn German. Because, those people, Marin may continue to include ...

The world is so big ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Marin will not stop conquering. Although the scale of the 7000 Colonial Army is large enough, it needs more manpower to conquer and develop more regions.

In addition to choosing the honest and obedient Hungarian prisoners who are willing to learn German to serve as the coolie of the silver mine smelting area, Marin also intends to recruit some of the willingness to work for him from the German serf and go to the silver mine smelter to exercise. Then, sent to the tropical colony.

After all, Marin is a German, after all, can't believe the Hungarians. Really reliable, or his family. Only let the young Germans under the rule go to the smelter for a few months, and then send them to tropical colonies such as Cuba and Panama, and serve as the core and main force of the colonial army, so that Marin can rest assured enough ...

In fact, the blacksmiths are very adaptable to the hot climate. Moreover, the blacksmiths have great strength and strong arm strength because they are making iron all day long. Moreover, he is also familiar with swords. On the battlefield, the blacksmith is definitely a good soldier! For example, Chi Gong, a strong general in the early Tang Dynasty, was a blacksmith, and he was very powerful.

But Marin knew that those blacksmiths stayed in the forge to help him build weapons, which was more profitable. Therefore, he is more willing to use the smelter to train those coolies to adapt to high temperatures. Then, sent to the colony to participate in the war. This is more cost-effective ...
