The Rise of the European Emperor

To be honest, it's not that the officers of the North Sea State never thought about drinking soldiers' blood, but Marin blocked the gap in advance. Because Marin has established a complete logistics system to prevent military chiefs from intervening. Moreover, a gendarmerie unit has been set up in the army, and it does not stop patrolling. In this way, it is very difficult and risky to reach out.

Moreover, the bagged compressed biscuits "invented" by Marin are not easy to embezzle. The compressed biscuits in each bag are rationed, and you can't deduct them if the soldiers don't tear them open to eat. There are three pieces of compressed biscuits in one bag, which is exactly three meals. Soldiers receive a pack every day, can you not give it? Even if you eat fast food in the big camp, the gendarmerie will watch it sternly and won't let you do anything. Therefore, the generals gave up the possibility of intervening.

In other armies of the same era, the generals had too much power, and the supplies had to go through their hands, and they were simply delivered to their doors for corruption. If you fail to do so, you will probably be regarded as a fool...

And in the most bitter Ming Dynasty, not only the military generals drank the blood of soldiers, but the civil servants had to search for a layer before the court appropriating it, and then it was the generals' turn to drink the blood of soldiers... Therefore, facing layers of exploitation, the bottom of the Ming Dynasty Soldiers are very hard-working, it would be nice to have something to eat, what else do you think? Unless you are the personal soldier of a general, you are eligible to be popular and spicy...

Marin set up a complete logistics system, and let the gendarmerie watch day and night. Those generals who wanted to intervene had no chance. What's more, in the Beihai National Army, it is not the chief general who is in charge of daily affairs, but the instructor. But even as trainers, Marin didn't give them a chance to pass. He only gave them the right to inspect and supervise, but not the right to dispatch materials. Because many trainers in Beihai State are from the church and are best at corruption. Marin dare not hand over the materials to them for distribution...

...

In addition to a lot of good news from the New York colony, there was also a lot of good news from the Argentine colony and the Savannah colony.

The pampas grassland is really easy to cultivate, because there is no need for logging and root digging, so it is very convenient to cultivate there. Moreover, the local steppe is very suitable for the expansion of the Cossack cavalry. At present, the area around the mouth of the Rio de la Plata in the Pampas has been completely conquered by the Cossack cavalry. The local population has reached 20,000, and the arable land has reached as much as 300,000 acres.

Because there are fewer people and more fields, the Pampas colony keeps asking for an increase in the immigrant population. Or, allow the introduction of black slaves. But Marin does not have a large population now, and he is full of worries about the introduction of black slaves. Therefore, we can only maintain the status quo for the time being.

But this also reminded Marin that agriculture in this era still depends on population!

In the era when there were no large-scale agricultural machinery, if we wanted to diversify the land, we could only increase the labor force. Otherwise, no matter how much land there is, it can only be watched. Or, simply use it to herd sheep. Because, sheep can be helped by shepherd dogs to solve the problem of insufficient manpower.

As for the Savannah Colony,

Under Marin's deliberate arrangement there, it specializes in cotton planting and the planting of moso bamboo, sumac and oil barrels.

Today, after the first batch of seeds brought back by Kong Tai are planted, the sumac and tung tree have not yet grown to the point where they can be produced, but the moso bamboo has grown a lot. After all, it takes only two or three years for moso bamboo to grow up, while it takes several years for sumac and tung tree to produce fruit.

However, Marin ordered a ban on the felling of mature moso bamboo. Because, if the moso bamboo is kept, it can run around. Every spring after the rain, bamboo shoots are everywhere. The existence of mother bamboo is very conducive to the increase of moso bamboo.

When the moso bamboo is large enough, it will be able to provide Beihai with a large number of bamboo strips to build bamboo-reinforced concrete buildings and dams.

Therefore, the savannah colony has not produced moso bamboo, sumac and tung tree yet. However, cotton has begun to be mass-produced. After all, cotton is an annual crop.

Savannah has planted thousands of acres of upland cotton after several years of breeding after importing upland cotton varieties from Mexico. After the Ming Dynasty brought back craftsmen who could play cotton and make cotton spinning machines, local cotton production had gradually begun to form an industry. It is foreseeable that Savannah will inevitably become a cotton spinning center in the future, providing cotton textiles and a large number of cotton quilts for the North Sea country.

As for Cuba, naturally a large amount of sucrose was sent back. At the same time, a large amount of sisal fiber was sent back. Compared with sucrose, sisal is Marin's favorite thing.

With these sisal fibers, the cables of warships of the Beihai Kingdom can all be replaced with sisal ropes. Even the steering wheel stays and sails can be heavily used with sisal fibers. The mass production of sisal fiber will greatly promote the navigation industry of the North Sea...

...

In the room, Marin was writing furiously, writing the huge plan for the future of Beihai Kingdom. Thinking of the bright future, Marin smiled...

At this time, the people in the office were suddenly pushed away. Marin was furious—who is so unruly? Don't know who knocked?

But I saw Caesar running in panting, took Marin's arm and left, and said anxiously:

"Dad, hurry up...Mom...Mom, she..."

"What happened to Mom?" Marin was taken aback, and the ink from the quill was also spilled on the plan.

"Mom is about to give birth! The midwife at the back said that the amniotic fluid broke..." Caesar finally finished his sentence after taking a breath.

"Fuck, the amniotic fluid broke?" Marin jumped up immediately. As a father, he knew—this is about to give birth...

So, he hurried back to the backyard of the palace with Caesar, and came outside the delivery room...

Angela cried out in pain from the delivery room, but compared to the time she gave birth to Caesar ten years ago, this time it was obviously much quieter. It's no wonder, after all, Angela is not giving birth for the first time, she has a lot of experience, and she is not as nervous as last time.

In order to ensure safety, Ma Lin said cautiously to Liu En Liu, who was staying at the door of the delivery room and guiding the midwife through the door:

"Doctor Liu, go in!"

Liu En was stunned, and said:

"Grand Duke, is this inappropriate? This old man wants to avoid suspicion..."

Marin waved his hand and said:

"Whether to avoid suspicion or not, human life is the most important thing! Please, I hope both mother and child are safe!"

Liu En looked at the serious Ma Lin, and after hesitating for a while, he still entered the delivery room...

It is probably because Marin has paid attention to controlling fat intake in the past few months, so Angela did not gain weight because of her pregnancy. Therefore, the baby does not appear to be huge either.

During the delivery, Liu En and a group of midwives had studied the natural side cut for several months but did not use it. They only used forceps to help. Before evening, Angela finally gave birth...

"Congratulations, Grand Duke, you are a little prince! Both mother and child are safe!" Liu En came out sweating profusely. Just now, he was extremely nervous. After all, if something goes wrong, who knows if Marin will blame him?

Marin laughed happily when he heard that the mother and child were safe. He entered the delivery room first, comforted Angela who was exhausted and collapsed, and then cheerfully picked up his wrinkled little son...

From this moment on, the successor crisis of Beihai State no longer exists. Caesar is 11 years old and in good health. Now that he has a young son, Marin doesn't feel that he is in danger of becoming extinct.

"Honey, give the child a name!" Angela said weakly.

"Well, the name has been chosen a long time ago..."

"Have you already taken it?" Angela didn't know why.

"Have you forgotten Wilhelmshaven? When Wilhelmshaven was built, I said it - the next generation of princes will be named William!"
