The Rise of the European Emperor

Because it was a support, Marin didn't even intend to equip the 2,000 Mao Gonggong shield players with a single sword. He planned to directly equip the 2,000 Mao Gonggong shield players with one-handed short sticks like baseball bats. In addition, the short stick will be wrapped with cloth strips.

In this way, the 2,000 Mao Gonggong's equipment is actually like the anti-riot police of later generations, specially used to suppress resistance. These Eunuch Mao shieldmen don't have to worry about fighting. What they have to do is to capture the local aborigines after victory. At the same time, beat those disobedient natives with a short stick wrapped in cloth strips to make them behave.

2,000 Mao Gonggongs like riot police, armed with shields and short sticks, followed the colonial army to arrest people and take care of the captured aborigines, which couldn't be more appropriate. After all, this group of Mao Gonggongs looked strong and strong, which was a bit bluffing. Moreover, what they dealt with was only unarmed Taino civilians. As for the profiteering rebels armed with weapons, there are 500 soldiers in rhinoceros leather armor to deal with them.

In addition, regarding the command of the 2,000 Mao Gonggongs, after discussing with Schwartz and others in charge of the military, Marin decided to select a group of veterans who married Mao Mei to serve as the commanders of this team.

Beihai has introduced more than 10,000 Maomei. Except for some who were sent to Las Vegas for special service projects, most of them were married to wiveless soldiers and young male serfs who performed well.

Many veterans, because of their outstanding performance in combat, were assigned to young and beautiful Maomei. After living with Mei Mao's wife for many years, under the influence of his wife, many veterans can already speak Russian. Although he is not particularly fluent, he has no problem communicating with and commanding the boys.

Therefore, Marin selected 100 Russian-speaking veterans to serve as the instructors and officers of the 2,000 Mao Gonggongs, and directed them to use short sticks and shields to suppress the Taino's rebound.

Of course, this 2,000-year-old eunuch Mao is an out-and-out rookie with no skills. So, you still need to train well. Fortunately, those veterans are very good at training recruits, and they can speak Russian, so they are really suitable candidates for commanders.

So Marin asked the 100 veterans who could speak Russian to take 2,000 Mao Gonggongs to train first. Then, he began to prepare to select 500 reinforcements. After one month, those Mao father-in-laws were almost trained, and they boarded a ship and shipped them to Santo Domingo on Haiti Island.

But at this time, Tara, the governor of Havana, Cuba, did not know where he heard the news of Haiti Island, so he sent a ship back to China and submitted an application to Marin for the Cuban colonial army to send reinforcements to participate in this counterattack.

The island of Cuba, where Tara's Havana colony is located, is just west of Haiti, so it's not surprising to know the news. After all, many food supplies in Santo Domingo were transported from the nearby colony of Havana.

As for why Tara took the initiative to ask for a fight, it has something to do with Tara's current situation.

Because the ability is the lowest among Marin's first five attendants, Tara has always had a sense of crisis, for fear of falling out of favor.

In addition, it is the dystocia of the Cuban Governor...

It stands to reason that the island of Cuba should have a governor. After all, this is also an important colony of Beihai State. But because of Tara's mediocre ability, and Haider's younger brother Wiltz did a good job in the Moa colony in the east of Cuba Island, providing Marin with a large amount of nickel ore and sulfuric acid. So, Tara was a little nervous.

Although it is said that Tara was one of Marin's earliest "heroes from the dragon", Wiltz also has a great background. Wiltz's elder brother, Haider, was the Governor of Oldenburg under Marin's rule, and he was very powerful. Moreover, it is rumored that after the old Prime Minister Fat Jeffrey retires, the next Prime Minister is likely to be Haider. After all, although Haider was only from a merchant family, he was the first medieval college student to defect to Marin, and his qualifications were very old.

Therefore, Tara has been worried that the position of Cuban governor will fall to his competitor Wiltz. After all, he is not only capable, but also has an elder brother who will be the next prime minister. No matter how you look at it, he is more promising than Marin's former servant.

Then, if you want to compete with Wiltz for the position of Governor of Cuba, you can only earn credit from other aspects. Obviously, military exploits are a very good option...

You must know that military exploits are the most hardcore credits from ancient times to the present. No matter how great the merits of Wenzhi are, it is difficult to confer titles and lands. But military exploits are fine, and hereditary.

In terms of cultural knowledge and ability, Tara, a former servant of Marin who was born as a serf, is definitely not as good as the engineer Wiltz. Therefore, Tara can only think of a way from the military exploits.

But the problem is that conquering the natives of the Havana colony is his job as the governor of Havana, and even if he wins, he won't get much credit. After all, the local natives are too weak to fight.

However, the rebellion in Haiti this time is different, because of Carlos, an indigenous young man who knows how to make a recurve bow, the combat effectiveness of the indigenous people has soared. Among the 500 colonists brought by McCas, only 200 had combat effectiveness, and the remaining 300 were actually masons responsible for repairing the castle. However, more than 40 people were killed in the 200 militia-level colonial team. In other words, McCas now has only 160 armed forces. So, McCas is panicking now...

That is to say, the natives are not good at attacking the city, so, relying on the remaining more than 150 militiamen, McCas could barely hold the Santo Domingo Castle. But don't even think about going far inland.

But Cuba Island is different, Tara has been transferred here for ten years. During these 10 years, Tara expanded the number of troops in the Cuban colony of Havana to as many as 2,000. Otherwise, it would be impossible to conquer the 100,000 natives on the island.

In addition, Tara also recruited "pseudo-army" among the indigenous people and formed a puppet army composed of 2,000 Guanajadabey and Sibonese.

These "puppet soldiers" were given food and clothes by Tara, and lived in houses provided by Beihai State, enjoying the same treatment as ordinary colonists. And their task is to serve as supervisors of various plantations and supervise the work of the 100,000 indigenous people...

With the help of these "puppet troops", Tara and the 2,000 colonial troops under his command were idle, and went to sweep around and expand their territory when they had nothing to do.

Just in time, I heard that a rebellion broke out on the island of Haiti. Therefore, Tara got excited and asked Marin directly for a battle, asking to lead troops into Haiti Island and destroy the thousands of rebels of the indigenous youth named Carlos...

Moreover, Tara stated in the battle letter that although the local army of the North Sea State has a strong combat effectiveness, if they want to fight in the tropical rainforest, the problem of climate adaptation is a big problem.

Although Beihai is now medically advanced, not only artemisinin to treat malaria, toilet water to prevent mosquitoes, but also betel nuts to treat tropical miasma. However, this can only ensure that the native colonists will not die, but it cannot guarantee that those native colonial troops will adapt to the local climate immediately.

Generally speaking, because they cannot adapt to the tropical climate all of a sudden, many people will suffer from some minor diseases of acclimatization. Although it is not life-threatening, it will definitely not be able to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time. Just like the first batch of colonial troops in Tara, after arriving in Havana, it took a few months to recover and gradually adapt to the local climate.

Today, Tara and his 2,000 colonial army have fully adapted to the local climate of Cuba Island, and are very proficient in fighting the enemy in the tropical rainforest. And if the army is mobilized from the mainland, just a few months of adaptation period will consume a lot of food in vain...

After reading Tara's invitation letter, Ma Lin felt right. However, what about the security of Cuba when troops are mobilized from the island of Cuba? What if the local natives rebelled?

After thinking about it, Marin decided to find Schwartz, Stadt and other high-level military officials to discuss and make a decision together...
