The Rise of the European Emperor

? Mosingen's journey is not destined to be smooth sailing. After all, this is a fight for gold with the bearded men in North Africa. The 35xs old horse said that with a profit of 300, it would dare to commit any crime, even at the risk of being hanged.

Obviously, using salt to go to Timbuktu for gold, the profit is more than 300? There are ten times and a hundred times. Therefore, in the face of such huge profits, don't expect those bearded businessmen in North Africa to obey the rules. It's just a normal operation to kill people and get more goods.

Therefore, Mosingen's team prepared hundreds of Egyptian slave cavalry and 20 musketeers to deal with possible fights at any time.

Fortunately, the conditions in the Sahara Desert are extremely harsh. The size of the general caravan will not be very large. Because, crossing the hot Sahara Desert is an extraordinary test of courage and will. It is difficult for ordinary Europeans to cross such a hot desert.

So Marin made a bamboo hat and umbrella, which can be cooler than just wearing a white robe. Otherwise, Marin's team can't guarantee that they can cross the Sahara Desert.

No matter how reflective the white robe was, it still absorbed a lot of heat. And a big bamboo hat and umbrella on the head is equivalent to a mobile gazebo on the head, and the heat insulation effect is not a little bit stronger.

Of course, Marin also knew that this was the secret weapon of Beihai State. If it is learned, other European countries can also cross the desert.

Therefore, Marin ordered that once the caravan approached the residential area, they should hide the bamboo hat and umbrella in the sack and put them on the camel's back, so as not to be learned.

After all, it would be easier for bearded North Africans to cross the desert if word got around. After all, the 35xs is more adaptable to the tropical desert climate. If tens of thousands of bearded North Africans flooded over, Mosingen's team would not be able to make waves...

In addition, Marin also asked his glasses craftsmen to equip Mosingen and his party with sunglasses, an artifact for walking in the desert...

The sun in the tropical desert is scorching, and the wind and sand pave the surface. Therefore, Arabs often use white cloth to cover their faces. However, the face-to-face ban does not affect other parts of the face the most, but the eyes.

Therefore, when walking outside the Great Wall in ancient China, there was a veil in front of the bamboo hats worn. It can not only block the wind and sand, but also see the front clearly.

But this light-transmitting veil is usually made of silk, but it is not available in the Middle East and North Africa. Therefore, the Arabs had no choice but to wear a hundred-step mask and squint their eyes against the wind and sand. Also, the ancient Mongols too. In order to resist the wind and sand, I often squint my eyes. Because of the habit of squinting, many people squint their eyes a little bit as a result. This is not innate, but a need to fight against wind and sand.

Moreover, the sun in the desert area is strong, and the eyes are too wide open, not only easy to enter the wind and sand, but also easy to be burned by the strong light. Therefore, it is common and habitual for people in desert areas to squint.

It is different with sunglasses. After wearing sunglasses, you can not be afraid of strong sunlight, and you can also face the wind and sand. It is very easy to use in the desert. For example, American soldiers in the Middle East in later generations basically have a pair of sunglasses. Moreover, many people's sunglasses are still bulletproof.

...

Of course, the sunglasses that Marin equipped Mosingen with them were not black sunglasses, but green lens sunglasses. The so-called green lens sunglasses are actually sunglasses made of green glass with high iron ion content.

This kind of glass belongs to the worst colored glass, which is the result of poor craftsmanship. However, the sunglasses lenses made of this kind of iron green glass with poor light transmission are really easy to use in the desert...

First of all, what people want to see most in the desert is green, which represents oasis and hope. Wear green sunglasses and see green in your eyes. This may not matter elsewhere, but in the desert full of yellow sand, wearing green sunglasses can make you feel much better.

Because of the general light transmission, it can also be like sunglasses,

Protect from strong sunlight. Marin asked the craftsman to make a bracket out of wood, and then, the place under the lens and the bridge of the nose was covered with leather, which was soft and comfortable to wear. And, best of all green glass is the cheapest tinted glass!

However, what Marin didn't expect was that he was worried that nothing would happen to the bamboo hat and umbrella that was robbed and imitated. After all, he had long ordered that he must put away the bamboo hat and umbrella when he met someone. However, he did not order hidden green sunglasses. As a result, Mosingen and their sunglasses were forcibly bought...

Of course, this is a later story. Mosingen's team had a hard time walking in the desert, and it was difficult to reach Timbuktu in a while.

Moreover, in order not to die of thirst halfway, the team needs to head east first, to the desert oasis in southern Algeria. Then, go all the way south along the route with oasis. Otherwise, if there is no fresh water supply on the way, let alone people, even camels will die of thirst.

In addition, the team also brought a group of war horses to fight against the enemy. The requirements for fresh water are even greater, and it is impossible to leave the support of the oasis well. Fortunately, the Berb horses bought from the Moroccans in the Laayoune area are originally desert horses. Otherwise, there is really no way to cross the Sahara Desert.

In order to keep his identity secret and avoid disputes with the Portuguese in the future. Although Mosingen was the leader of the team, he pushed out a eloquent Egyptian slave named Nashaf to pretend to be the leader of the team. In this way, the caravan could call itself an "Egyptian caravan". In the future, it will be difficult for the Portuguese to say that Marin poached them...

...

Just when Mosingen's team went deep into the Sahara Desert and headed for Timbuktu. In the far east, Gan Fushuizi's maid chess piece, also as the representative of Gan Fushuizi and his son Gan Fu Nobunaga, led 3,500 soldiers and horses, and landed on Amami Oshima, the northernmost point of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Of the 3,500 soldiers and horses, 3,000 of them were strong and honest black slaves bought by Marin from the Duke of Coimbra in Portugal. These black slaves were trained in formation and discipline by Marin's officers, and then sent to Taiwan Island, where Li Zizi, the head coach of the Beihai Sword and Shield Soldiers on Taiwan Island, conducted further training and trained them all as Sword and Shield Soldiers The rattan player in the game uses single swords and rattan cards.

In addition, they also wore the chain mail produced in Beihai to protect against Japanese samurai's knives. Japanese samurai are small and nimble, and are good at wielding sharp katana swords. The rattan cards used by Uncle Hei can certainly block samurai swords. However, the Japanese samurai were short in stature, if they rolled around and got behind Uncle Hei and cut him with a knife, it would be over.

Therefore, Marin asked the mainland to prepare 3,000 sets of chain mail, which are specially used to prevent knife cutting. In addition, these black uncles also put on simple iron helmets with pot lids to prevent the samurai swords of Japanese samurai from cutting their heads.

With rattan cards, single swords, chain mail and pot heads, these strong black fighters are not afraid of Japanese samurai attacks.

In addition to these black rattan players, Qizi also has 100 musketeers transferred from the mainland, using clockwork muskets. In addition, there were 400 musketeers recruited from the local Han Chinese and Pingpu people recruited from Taiwan Island. However, they used matchlock guns. Later, the troops stationed in Japan mainly used matchlock guns to suppress the resistance of the local people.

Originally, this army was going directly to capture Sado Island. However, the struggle for hegemony among the three branches of the Honma clan on Sado Island is still at a stalemate. It is not the best time to intervene at this time. Moreover, rashly invading would easily cause a strong reaction from Japan's vassal states, and it would not be easy to be recognized.

Therefore, the current chess piece can only follow the previous plan, first secretly send people to contact the Yu Mao clan, secretly sell them a batch of weapons, and support them to attack the main family of the Honma clan and the Kawarada clan. In the end, taking advantage of the desperate situation of the main family of the Honma family, they sent troops to help the main family of the Honma family attack the other two, and used the main family of the Honma family as puppets to rule Sado Island...

However, before that, the 3,500 army needs a place to stay, and it must be close to Japan to facilitate its intervention in Japanese affairs.

Therefore, with the support of Kong Tai, Qizi led 3,500 troops and 10 warships to land on Amami Oshima, the northernmost part of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and used Amami Oshima as a temporary base and springboard. In the future, start from this point and attack Sado Island. Or, attack the Osumi country where Gan Fushi is located...
