Chapter 956: Maple sugar

The "cousin who hooked up the cousin and killed his cousin", the dog and the man, was spread in France with the efforts of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce spies, and gradually began to spread to other countries.

However, with the communication level of this era, it is a bit difficult to spread throughout Europe in a short time. But Marin's spies are fueling the wave, and the spread is not slow. Moreover, Marin doesn't need this rumor to spread everywhere in Europe, it just needs to spread all over the capitals of all countries to let the monarchs and senior nobles of all countries know. In the final analysis, this is just for Edward to send troops to Scotland to build momentum. It can spread throughout the capitals of all countries, even if the goal is achieved.

As for Marin himself, he began to train the 15,000 infantry soldiers from the southern mountain chosen by Schwartz. After all, they come from different troops and need to run in with each other.

In addition, in order to allow them to adapt to the mountain march, Marin has begun training them to armed off-road. Now, the spring cultivation in the Beihai Kingdom is almost over, and these selected soldiers have begun to gather near Aurich and started training.

Although there are plains near Aurich, there are no mountains. However, Marin still found a hilly area in the east near the province of Oldenburg, allowing the soldiers to train armed cross-country and "over the mountains".

In fact, these mountain people have the foundation to cross the mountains, after all, they grew up in the mountains. However, they are still not very familiar with the large-scale team-like mountain-crossing like this. And Marin trains them to help and support each other through the mountains. After all, it is very dangerous to cross mountains and cross mountains. If you do not help each other, accidental casualties will inevitably occur. But if you have done specific targeted training, you can still greatly reduce the probability of casualties.

Even Marin himself personally participated in the simulated training over the mountains. Because, he decided that the raid should be directed by himself ...

As for why he chose to go out in person, Marin has repeatedly considered. If it is an ordinary troop dispatch operation, its implementation of Watts is enough to replace its own command.

However, this military operation was too risky. Because Marin uses sneak attack tactics. The main point of this tactic is to be quick, and attack the opponent from behind without knowing it.

Because it needs to be fast, and it needs to cross mountains and hills, the materials carried by the army will certainly not be too much. As for rations, even if you carry compressed biscuits that are easy to carry, everyone can carry up to ten days of rations. No matter how much it is, it is not suitable for carrying over mountains.

And this is also the problem. If the attack is successful, the army can enter Siena to get new supplies. If the sneak attack fails ... Depending on the amount of dry food they carry, once they are caught in a protracted war and the food is finished, without the Siena army attacking them, the army itself will be chaotic ...

Therefore, this sneak attack cannot be lost. Otherwise, Marin will lose more than 10,000 elites, which is unacceptable to him.

Therefore, Marin decided to go out in person this time and lead the team to attack Siena. The reason for this is that Marin has a lot of ghost ideas and is best at sneak attacks. Instead of Schwarz, the command of the frontal battle was okay, and there was absolutely no Marlin thought of such a sneak attack. After all, there are not too many battles and ideas in Marin's mind. Talking about ghost ideas, Schwartz, who is deeply influenced by the traditional ideas of knights, is not as good as ten ghost ideas from Marin ...

The question now is that Marin is waiting for maple syrup in the Americas and rhinoceros hide in West Africa ...

Needless to say, maple syrup is made of compressed biscuits. Compressed biscuits with maple syrup not only have a good taste, but also can supplement a variety of nutrients, which is very suitable for soldiers to eat.

The rhinoceros armor is much lighter than the plate armor and has good protection. It is said that the Siena army has very few firearms, and as long as they can prevent the attack of their few artillery, the rhinoceros armor is enough to deal with most of the Siena army's attacks. What's more, wearing heavy plate armor, you don't have to climb the mountain ... can't climb ...

...

When Marin personally sweated with the soldiers in the hilly areas of the border, Emden Port ushered in the first batch of 4,000 barrels of maple syrup from the transport ship Garland returning from Cape Breton Island ...

After receiving the news, Marin was overjoyed and quickly withdrew from the barracks and hurried back to Aurich to hear the report.

According to the report of Garland's messenger, Marin learned that this spring, the collection of maple syrup in Canada went smoothly.

After Marin provided a large number of iron cones for drilling holes, pipes, and wooden barrels for loading maple syrup, and provided a group of people who taught indigenous people, Garland quickly mobilized a batch of translators who understood the local indigenous language. , As a guide for this group of people, took them to the North American continent and taught those indigenous people how to collect maple syrup ...

Maple syrup has been collected in Canada since March. Under the leadership of the translators, the staff provided by Marin first familiarized themselves with the specific process of collecting maple syrup and the temperature conditions required to collect maple syrup, and then was dispatched to various tribes on the North American continent to teach local indigenous how to use The iron cone drills the hole in the sugar maple tree, and how to use a tube and barrel to collect the maple syrup. In addition, the right temperature is also a very important condition.

Of course, Marin also left behind. For example, the method of boiling maple syrup into maple syrup was not taught to the indigenous people. Don't look at the technique of making maple syrup, it's easy to cook maple syrup in a small pot. However, the local indigenous technology is not much better than the original people. They may not really understand how to boil maple syrup into maple syrup ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Maple syrup and maple syrup are two things, maple syrup The concentration is about 40 times that of maple syrup, and maple syrup, in fact, is not much different from the sweetness of later generations, and the taste is not as good as the drink.

Sure enough, as expected by Marin, after the first batch of maple syrup was collected, those greedy local natives drank a lot of maple syrup by themselves, and estimated to consume one third of the maple syrup. This made Garland very hot, but he had no good way. After all, he only had a cooperative relationship with those natives. The other party drank one-third of the maple syrup, and he couldn't stop it.

Fortunately, he used some commodities to lure the local aborigines, so that the aborigines forced to control his urge to drink maple syrup. After all, compared with the sweet maple syrup, the European bows and other tools provided by Garland, as well as the shiny glass balls, are more popular with the indigenous people.

Of course, this is based on the premise that the indigenous people have never drank the purified maple syrup. If the indigenous people had tasted the sweeter maple syrup, it would be impossible to stop. Fortunately, they do not yet know how to purify maple syrup, nor do they have a pot for purifying maple syrup. Otherwise, they intercept more maple syrup.

Therefore, although many indigenous tribes were mobilized to help collect maple syrup, the maple syrup made from the maple syrup received by Garland in March was only 4000 barrels. Of course, this is also due to the fact that the indigenous people were not very skilled in collecting maple syrup.

By April, as the indigenous people were able to collect maple syrup more skillfully, the output was definitely higher. According to Garland's estimate, the total output of maple syrup this year should be able to exceed the original plan of 10,000 barrels ...

Marin is also very happy about the arrival of this batch of maple syrup. Because, he can order a large amount of maple syrup compression cookies. In addition, the "Royal Salute" also needs a lot of maple syrup blending ...
