The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 39: Ready to attack Jever

Marin returned to East Friesland this time. In addition to visiting his wife and children, he also meant to check the preparations for attacking Jever.

Denmark and Sweden have started a fierce battle. The Danes were shot and killed by muskets and wounded more than 2,000 people under the city of Stockholm. The loss was heavy. Therefore, Denmark is now in a siege war and no more offensives are carried out.

However, in Stockholm, a large amount of food is stored, enough to persist for a year or two. Therefore, old Steen. Steure is not afraid of a long-term siege. As for water cuts, the Danes cannot do it. Because Stockholm is a seaside city, the climate is very humid. Even if Denmark breaks the river, Stockholmers can dig wells to eat water.

Taking advantage of Denmark ’s attention being attracted by Sweden, Marin intends to take action against Jever. Jervin's area of ​​more than 500 square kilometers, Marin is very greedy. You know, many counts in the inland areas of Germany may not have such a large enclosure.

In order to besiege Jever, Marin made many assumptions and devised many siege methods. For example, the tunneling method used by Emden before.

However, after Sauer's spies went to investigate, this method was rejected ...

why? Because, Jever is just a baron collar. The Wilmken family, although wealthier than the average baron, did not build a large city to live in, but built a small but strong castle to live in.

And the castle is inhabited by either members of the Wilmken family, or guards and servants. Therefore, it is unrealistic to send people into the castle to dig a tunnel. It's easy to mix into a city, it's too hard to mix into a castle. Therefore, the idea of ​​digging tunnels was rejected.

As for sending dead men to mix in and open the city gate, it is not as reliable as digging tunnels. Because the castle has a small population, it is easy to screen. It is also very difficult to mix in a group of dead men who opened the city gate.

Therefore, the only way to attack such a strong castle is to attack ...

Of course, the method of digging tunnels to bury explosives under the city walls can also explode the city walls. However, this method will not be used by Marin. He also guarded, this trick was learned by his enemies to deal with himself. Therefore, he would rather attack the castle than such a partial move.

After, Marin went to inspect the foundry factory to check the development of Cohorn mortar. It was found that the craftsmen were working hard to improve the total weight of the artillery, as close as possible to the total weight of 82 kg that Marin said. To this end, they are racking their brains.

Moreover, it is very meaningful to reduce the total weight of Cohorn mortar. In addition to convenient handling, it also means reducing costs. After all, the price of copper in Europe is so expensive. The extra weight of 15 kg is equivalent to the cost of 1 kg of silver, which is very expensive. Therefore, craftsmen have to work hard to find a way to reduce the total weight and reduce the consumption of copper. The waste of a gun metal can not be shown, but Marin intends to build a row of such guns. If each gun weighs 10 kilograms, the 50 guns will add 500 kilograms, worth two or three thousand gold coins. Therefore, they are looking for ways to reduce copper consumption in order to reduce costs during mass production.

As for the researched production, there is no problem. Because, the artisans of the foundry factory, but they can die cast. As long as the corresponding iron mold is created, it is not a problem to manufacture 10 Cohorn mortars every day ...

Against Yevre, Marin has always been very confident. In this attack, Marin just wanted to test the tactics of using Cohorn mortar volley to attack the city. It is not impossible to attack now.

Moreover, the research and development of Cohorn mortar has been getting closer and closer to Marin's requirements. I believe that a short time later, a qualified Cohorn mortar can be manufactured.

Happens, Marin also needs to go to Vienna to attend the emperor's Zen ceremonies two months later, and he has no time to launch an offensive immediately. So Marin told Schwartz, who had returned to East Friesland, to prepare in advance. When he rushed back from Vienna, he was ready to launch an offensive, and took a few hundred square kilometers of land in one fell swoop ...

……

When Marin was preparing for the attack on Jever, there was also good news from Emden-the first batch of beautiful Naples arrived ...

Now the Kingdom of Naples has been destroyed by war. There are now many hungry refugees, and there are still many beautiful girls in them. Enticed by Marin's food, many families are willing to let their daughters marry to East Friesland in exchange for food and clothing. What's more, this is not the food and clothing of a person, but the food and clothing of the whole family ...

Alter, who was in charge of the food-for-woman program, saw that there were so many beauties willing to marry East Friesland, so he simply raised the requirements and selected the beauties first ...

So, at the grain trading site, a beauty pageant was held. Alter does not mean food, but chooses a limited number of beauties. Although, those beautiful women need two sacks of rye to change one ...

Alter began to choose Italian beauties based on the four criteria of appearance, health, smell of girls, and whether they are big girls. The goods also used power for personal gains, and first selected a beautiful Italian girl for herself. Then, another 2,000 beautiful, healthy, odor-free, original and beautiful Italian villagers were selected and shipped back to Emden in the first batch.

In order to place these girls, Kohler also specially built a large yard, placed these girls, waiting for allocation ...

Seeing those beautiful Italian beauties, Emden's entire barracks were fried. When many soldiers are not on duty, they run to see beautiful women ...

Unfortunately, Kohler made strict regulations-trespassers died ... This only blocked the group of qing-headed soldiers who wanted to go in and grab their wives ...

Marin also quietly went to see it, which is of higher quality than the Maomei bought from Russia last time ...

It's no wonder that it's not that Mao Mei is not pretty, but that the most beautiful group of Mao Mei has been sold to Turkey at high prices by the Crimean people. Only the second best will be sold to Venetian merchants. Therefore, the 200 Mao sisters bought last time by Marin are actually in the upper-middle posture, but only win in the sexy.

And the 2000 Mao sisters brought back by Art, but among the hundreds of thousands of refugees, can the top beauties selected be the same as those of the second-level Mao girls?

So even Marin was a little stunned ...

Kahn, who went with Marin, also had the reaction of a normal man for the first time-drooling ...

"It seems that I have to help myself to find a daughter-in-law ..." Marin thought.

My helper, except Kohler, is older than himself. However, they haven't found a wife yet ...

It's no wonder that European male noblemen have always been married late. In addition to the idea of ​​wanting to get away when you are young, picking three out of four is also an important reason.

Marin's helpers, already nominated by the nobility, naturally have a higher vision. Civilian women are no longer under their consideration. The problem is that the noble woman East Frisian Lambert is extremely lacking ...

Marin had captured a large number of local nobles when he seized East Frisian Lambert ~ www.ltnovel.com ~, and also filled their families as prostitutes, which made the local noble lady seriously lacking. Now, even Jeffrey, the fat, freckled fat daughter, has several knights pursuing, showing how scarce the aristocratic girls in East Friesland are ...

Moreover, the nobles abroad are not very respectable to the nobles of the newly-rising East Frisian Lambert, resulting in difficulties in marrying the barons and knights under Marin. It's not that you can't find a woman, but you can't find the right person ... If you find a civilian to get married, it will be a marriage between your husband and your child, and the children have no inheritance rights ...

Therefore, most of Marin's men are still bachelors ...

Now, when I see graceful Italian beauties, let alone Kahn, many other young officers are drooling and clamoring for a gift from Marin ...

Marin wondered, when he came back from Vienna, would he share the spoils of his men and share this Italian beauty ...

As for the principle that Guishu does not intermarry? It doesn't matter, anyway, by then, Marin is the Duke of Egypt. If anyone is in love with an Italian girl and wants to marry, it ’s okay. At that time, Marin, in the name of the Duke of Egypt, sealed the girl who was not a noble as the baroness and baroness of the Principality of Egypt. Just get up ... In short, will not leave the handle of the marriage of Guishu ...

If Marin enrolled those women as the baroness in East Friesland, they might have to give the title of a piece of land, which would be unclear and cause disputes. However, to give an Egyptian baroness, Marin hasn't got Egypt himself. Even if the Egyptian baroness is sealed, there is no need to give the land, just a name, and it is not easy to cause disputes ...
