The Rise of the European Emperor

Puginsky said proudly:

"That's right, Demi (Merov's name), these black savages are so stupid that they dare to look down on us. So, I plan to train and promote only those who have 'removed the root of trouble' like us, so that They served as military officers, and even, our successors, and formed a tradition. Then, who would dare to laugh at us in the future? Because their superiors are just like us!"

The other eunuchs applauded loudly after hearing this, thinking it was a great idea. But Merov was worried:

"Fra, if we dare to castrate the children of those tribal dignitaries, they will definitely fight us desperately..."

Puginsky thought for a while and said:

"You're right... Let's see, don't we have hundreds of black slaves in our hands? Dozens of them are teenagers. Slaves have no human rights. We castrated those dozens of slave teenagers, and then taught them Skills, and promoted to officers. As for the children of the tribal leaders, in the future, accept the leadership of those children who have 'removed the roots of troubles'..."

"Is it inappropriate to do this? How can an eunuch be an official?" Merov was a little uneasy.

Puginsky patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Don't worry, do you know Narcissus of the Roman Empire? That's a eunuch, didn't he also become a famous general? Brothers, in the future, we will let the eunuch's name spread throughout West Africa, and even become the most honorable person in the area! "

"Yes yes yes, we want to increase the number of the same kind!" Other eunuchs also echoed. Eunuchs like them are too lonely. It would be nice to get dozens of little blackies to be eunuchs together...

As for the problem of insufficient explosive power after castration, Pujinski and others are not worried. why? They train archers, not heavy cavalry. The requirements for archery skills and riding skills are higher than strength and explosive power. Besides, with so many blacks, there are so many strong ones, it doesn't have to be a strong officer.

As for those strong black soldiers who refused to accept the management, Puginsky said-no means, if you refuse to accept, you will die!

Moreover, their group of eunuchs is not training one or two little black eunuchs, but intends to train a large group. At that time, when this group of people has formed a scale, they can join forces to suppress those who are not convinced.

"In addition, I plan to implement an elimination system when training those castrated black teenagers. Those who are smart and powerful will be promoted to officers and focus on training. As for those who are weak and weak... then send them to Your Majesty (Marin)'s court, serve His Majesty as a court eunuch..."

"Why?" The other eunuchs were puzzled,

They knew that there was Eunuch Mao in the court of Beihai Kingdom.

Puginsky explained:

"Even if the people we train are not suitable to be officers, they still have a certain foundation in fighting and martial arts. As eunuchs, they even have the ability to protect the nobles in the palace. At least, they are much better than maids. Moreover, these people serve as us After being sent to the palace, these disciples will not only please His Majesty, but they will also speak well of us if they have the opportunity..." Obviously, Puginsky knew a little about Gongdou.

Merov worried:

"Will those black teenagers hate us after being castrated by us? After all, we deprived them of the right to be happy..."

Puginsky nodded, then said:

"That's why I selected those teenagers for castration. They haven't tried those things between men and women, so they don't know what it's like. How can they hold grudges against us? If they castrate those adult black slaves, they might hold grudges against us..."

"Boss is wise!" The other eunuchs agreed one after another...

Afterwards, these guys brought the dozens of black teenagers, and performed the castration by themselves. It's a pity, because I don't know how to disinfect, and I'm not a professional, half of them died from the infection, and half of them survived, and there were various problems...

Then, Eschwein passed this important event to Coton, the governor of Laayoune, with a carrier pigeon. Then, Cotton sent the news to Spain with a pigeon, and then the Spanish intelligence branch continued to relay it back to the mainland with a pigeon relay...

"So, we can now contact Senegal with pigeons?" After reading the information, Marin suddenly realized that he could directly contact Senegal with pigeons.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we could have used carrier pigeons to contact Spain. Later, Governor Cotton bred a group of carrier pigeons, which can fly to Spain and fly south to Senegal. However, it is very difficult for carrier pigeons to fly south and cross the desert. .Because, the carrier pigeons need to rest halfway. The people under Governor Cotton discovered several coastal oases such as the Dakhla Oasis, took the carrier pigeons for a walk, and then specially established several carrier pigeon stations along the coast to ensure that the carrier pigeons can Drinking water and eating food halfway opened up this pigeon delivery route..."

The most difficult thing for carrier pigeons to convey messages is to drink water and eat food along the way. It is not a problem for Laayoune to go north and pass through Morocco. The local area is also the wettest area in northern Africa, with rich sources of food and fresh water. Pigeons can stop to drink water and feed, and can continue to maintain.

But if you fly from Laayoune to the south, because most of them are in the Sahara Desert, it is difficult to eat and drink along the way. Therefore, Cotton also thought of many ways, and asked his subordinates to take the carrier pigeons for a trip, and found several oases along the way, where the carrier pigeons could rest and eat and drink, but this was not enough. Because these oases are too far away, it is difficult for the pigeons to persist to the next oasis. If you die of thirst along the way, you will not be able to complete the information transfer.

Then, Cotton had a big brain hole and sent people to establish several stopping points along the coast of Western Sahara and Mauritania in later generations, so that the pigeons could stop to eat and drink water.

There is no fresh water in the local area, so Cotton asked people to buy a solar cooker seawater desalination system, which is to use a solar cooker to boil seawater, and then pass it through a condenser to obtain distilled fresh water.

These artificial strongholds along the coast have assumed the responsibility of receiving passing pigeons. As long as you see the flag of Laayoune and the pigeons flying along the coastline, you can stop and wait for the people at the pigeon station to feed and provide water.

"That's a good idea!" Marin praised Cotton's imagination.

Before, because there were too few oases along the desert, homing pigeons could not reach Senegal in the south, so they had to send boats.

But Cotton's brain hole made up for this problem. Although the coasts of Western Sahara and Mauritania are extremely dry, it is easy to get sea water. As long as you build a stronghold along the coast, take advantage of the continuous sunlight in the area, use solar cookers to cook seawater, and condense the steam to obtain fresh water and distilled water.

Simply place a solar cooker at each point to meet the drinking water requirements of several people in the stronghold, and to supply fresh water and grain food to the passing homing pigeons.

Originally, Cotton's arrangement was to set up several tents on the coastal beach. But Marin believes that the solar cooker needs to be kept secret and cannot be displayed in front of others. Therefore, Marin decided to allocate funds to build small artillery towers in those coastal strongholds to strengthen their defenses. Moreover, ditches were dug to lead the seawater into the blockhouses, which was convenient for boiling seawater to obtain distilled fresh water.

Because the solar cooker boils sea water to desalinate in the closed blockhouse, people outside can't see it, so naturally they can't get a glimpse of the secret. Even if they want to break into the blockhouse by force, they have to ask the guards in the blockhouse who have muskets to agree or not...

Generally speaking, as long as a dozen people are arranged in each blockhouse. Even if there are Arab herdsmen in the vicinity, they will not be able to attack them. Moreover, these gun towers must have been built in places where they avoided the locals, fearing that they would be attacked by herdsmen in the nearby desert oasis. With these coastal fortresses as transit points, information exchange on the Senegal River itself will be much more convenient in the future.

...

Eschwein reported to Marin the absurd things done by those Mao Gonggongs, hoping that Marin would make a decision. It just so happened that Marin needed Puginski to be the indigenous leader of Mauritania, so naturally he wouldn't blame him for messing around. Even, Marin intends to give support...

"Reply to Eschwein and tell him that I support Puginski and his team. However, I will send them medical assistants and bring them medical alcohol for disinfection." With disinfectant alcohol, these guys will give When black teenagers undergo surgery, it is not easy to infect dead people.

At the same time, Marin also affirmed the nonsense statement of "removing the root of troubles" by Pujinski and others, and hypocritically said that "after removing the root of troubles, there will be no worries in the future"...

According to this statement, plus Marin needs Puginsky to lead people to control a large area of ​​land from the north of the Senegal River to the Songhai Empire. In order to win over and appease Pujinski, Marin canonized Pujinski as the "Earl of Worry-free", and asked him to manage this large area of ​​land on his behalf. Moreover, they also called the gang of eunuchs Mao and the young black eunuchs they prepared to "create" as "worry-free people." When they grow up, they will be officers of the worry-free officer, and Puginsky's successor will also be the earl of worry-free...
