Chapter 906: King Juan visiting

Malin used an administrative order to force Beihai to move up and down, and the whole people knit weavers, straw pants, and straw hats to keep out the cold. Then, on the streets of Beihai Guolong Winter Festival, a spectacle appeared-the people coming and going on the streets, everyone was wearing clothes, straw pants, straw hats, and straw shoes on their feet ...

On this day, Marin went down to patrol the street with his hand, saw the grass-filled clothing on the street, and the Skonda who happened to be with him suddenly laughed out loudly.

"What's so funny?" Marin looked at Skonda strangely.

Skandar chuckled and replied:

"That's it, Grand Duke, you sent me to the Ming empire in the east. In the Ming empire, ordinary people faced officials, usually claiming to be" caomin ". The subordinates saw people on the streets all dressed in grass , I couldn't help but think of the name "Caomin", it felt so well-matched, so I couldn't help but laugh out loud ... "

Marin was stunned and then laughed:

"Haha, what you said is indeed good. These people, dressed in grass, are indeed standard" grassmen "..."

Then, a group of people left the city and came to the out-of-city barracks of the First Army. They also saw the army soldiers wearing all-grass costumes ...

"What's this? Grass soldiers or grass soldiers?" Before he finished, Marin laughed. And Skanda knew the meaning of this stalk and laughed ...

At this time, it was the daily training of the army. Because of the cold-proof clothing, the soldiers do not have to hide in the barracks to brag, but are pulled out for routine training.

After the training, the camp owner ran Kyle excitedly to report:

"Dagong, this straw suit is really good. In winter, it is too cold to wear armor, and it is not safe to wear protection. The subordinates found that if you rub the rope on the jacket, make a double layer, you can not only keep warm, It also has a very good defense! Therefore, even the officers now have a full set of straw suits, no, they should be called grass armor ... "

"It's okay ..." Marin was dumbfounded. But when he patted Kyle's double layer of clothes, Marin had to admit that it was quite strong. It may not work to defend against bullets, but it can be used to defend against swords and bows. But then again, metal armor is useless in the face of muskets, not to mention grass armor?

But Kyle has his own different opinions:

"Duke, this set of grass armor can protect against cold, and it is not afraid of rain and snow. If you wear a grass armor to attack in rain and snow, it will be very powerful. Because, in rain and snow, the opponent's arquebus must be dumb. And our army The clockwork firearm is not afraid of rain and snow, and can attack the enemy normally. Even the bow and arrow of the enemy, the bowstring is affected in rain and snow weather. Therefore, the subordinates believe that it is quite good to wear a grass armor to launch an attack in rain and snow weather. awesome……"

Marin thought about it, and it made sense. So, he took out a small book and jotted down the suggestion. At the same time, he also remembered the name of Kyle, the leader of the square.

Of course, Marin does not completely agree with him. Marin believes that although the defense of grass armor is good under rain and snow, it is still insufficient. After all, on rainy and snowy days, although the bowstring is affected, it is not as incapable of shooting as the matchlock gun. Even if the power declines, the grass armor can't resist. Therefore, it would be better to put a non-weight chain mail armor on the outside of the grass armor to protect against arrows and swords.

The grass armor is not effective in fine weather. Even if the sword can be partially defended, the bow and arrow cannot be prevented. However, once it encounters rain and snow, the protection of the wet grass armor will increase greatly after soaking in the water. Because, after the bow and arrow are shot, the resistance encountered will become very difficult because the water content of the grass is greatly increased. Of course, it is not impossible to shoot.

But if you put a chain mail on the outside of the wet grass armor, you can better defend against the damage of bows and swords. As for the opponent's matchlock gun, Yuxuetian is useless ...

...

In fact, Marin doesn't like a full set of straw armor. Because these straw pants are actually quite heavy. Together, a set of grass armor weighs a dozen or twenty pounds. If it is raining or snowing, you may be able to wear it in frustration. In fine weather, it is not necessary to wear this bulky grass armor.

Even, even on rainy days, Marin prefers rubber-coated raincoats. Because the raincoat is much lighter than the one, it is also convenient to carry on the march. Unlike the clothes, it is heavy and not easy to carry. What's more, after thickened double-layered clothes, it weighs a dozen pounds. The raincoat is much lighter. Moreover, it can be folded into a small size and taken away in a package.

So, for now, the raincoat role of straw is just a substitute before rubber trees can be tapped. As for the cold winter-it is temporarily impossible to replace. After all, the cost of down jackets is too high. And when you use cotton as a military coat, you do n’t know the year of the monkey ...

...

After returning from the barracks outside the city, he suddenly came down and reported-King Juan of the Kingdom of Castile in Spain, and Margaret, the queen of Austria, came to the port of Emden and asked to visit the North Sea.

Marin was stunned, but he quickly responded-he decided to personally take the team to Emden to meet the couple of King Juan ...

Because, regardless of identity or personal relationship between the two parties, Marin should personally greet King Juan and his wife.

In fact, the rise of Marin has a lot to do with Juan. At that time, if it wasn't for the cured Prince Juan, he stopped the death of Prince Juan ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ God knows what will happen in Europe now. Because, if Prince Juan really died at that time, Portugal and Spain may now merge. Because, under the flapping of Marlin's butterfly wings, Prince Miguel did not die. Although Princess Maria, who is now a stepmother and aunt, is planning to murder the poor Prince Miguel, until now, no suitable mobile phone meeting has been found yet ...

Even if Miguel died as historically, there is the mad girl Juana and her husband handsome king Philip waiting to succeed ...

Because of Marin's influence, the wife of the handsome king Philippe Juana did not get the opportunity to inherit the Castile throne, so Philip naturally did not need to go to Spain to participate in the throne fight, and did not die in 1506 like the original history. In Spain.

This time, it was Juan, the young King of Castile, because his wife, Princess Margaret of Austria, missed her hometown, so she simply accompanied the queen back to the country to travel around.

Of course, although the name of Queen Margaret is "Margaret of Austria", in fact Queen Margaret grew up in the Royal Palace of Ghent in the Netherlands with her brother and handsome king Philip. Therefore, the queen's homesickness is the Netherlands, not Austria.

To this end, the young King Juan personally led 20 warships, accompanied Queen Margaret from Biscay Bay north, through the English Channel, to the Netherlands, and visited Ghent.

It happened that at this time the news came that the Columbus fleet sent by Marin brought a large number of Chinese specialties such as porcelain and silk from the Eastern China Empire. After the visit to Ghent, King Juan simply led the fleet eastward and arrived at the port of Emden in preparation for a visit to the Beihai Kingdom.
