The Rise of the European Emperor

After fooling the Saxons, Marin sent someone to inform Charles II, Duke of Geddes, that the target was dead, but the killer missed and was surrounded and killed.

However, Marin had the messenger express his anger towards Charles II - why did the killer have a fake East Frisian army identity badge on him?

When Charles II received the news from Marin, he was stunned at first, but soon became happy - since the target is dead, he can rest easy. As for the question of framing Marin, Charles II hypocritically stated that it was the killer's personal habit. In any country, he would make a fake identity badge by himself, which had nothing to do with him...

If Marin really didn't know it, he would probably be pissed off by this explanation. In fact, Marin threw the pot back on Charles II. This questioning is actually just to cover up the truth that he betrayed the two killers.

In addition, Marin was about to send troops to the east, and at this time he had to appease Charles II, Duke of Geddes. If the opponent takes advantage of their own troops to attack East Frisian, although the 10,000 militiamen can defend several main cities, the rural areas will definitely be ravaged by the opponent. After all, the militia will definitely lose in the field, and they can only defend in the city to offset the difference in combat effectiveness.

Therefore, Marin is still in a relationship with Charles II, Duke of Geddes, because he is afraid that the other party will stab him in the back during the war. After the war in the east is resolved, and then looking back, Marim would like to be challenged by the other party, and he might as well fight back in the image of a "victim"...

...

When the spring ploughing work was coming to an end, good news came from Cape Breton Island in North America-Garland sent people to control Corner Brook on the western coast of Newfoundland, which was marked by Malin.

It turned out that after Marin ordered to control Newfoundland and search for the Bakens lead-zinc mine, Garland immediately sent someone to look for the Corner Brook area against the map given by Marin.

Soon, after several comparisons, Garland's men found Cornerbrook. What surprised Garland was that there were no indigenous people in the Corner Brook area...

why? The Corner Brook region is a fjord along the western coast of Newfoundland. Originally, there was indeed a fishing-dominated indigenous tribe.

However, the Newfoundland fishing grounds are not in the west of Newfoundland, but in the waters to the east, southeast and northeast of Newfoundland, mainly due to the special environment generated by the convergence of the warm Atlantic current and the cold Labrador current, forming a world-class fishing ground. . The fjords in the western part of Newfoundland are not the intersection of ocean currents, and the natural fishery resources are not as abundant as those in the eastern part of Newfoundland and the waters in the southeast and northeast.

Therefore, a fishing village that was originally engaged in fishing here was relocated to the southeastern coast of Newfoundland as a whole.

So, when the people sent by Garland arrived, they only saw an abandoned fishing village...

In fact, the fishery resources in the bay near Corner Brook are not much. Of course, nothing compares to the great fishing grounds on the east side of Newfoundland. The local indigenous people's fishing methods are backward, and the success rate of fishing is not high. Therefore, I prefer the super-favorable fishing place in the Newfoundland fishery where the fish can automatically jump into the canoe.

In addition, the Gulf of St. Lawrence, near Corner Brook, is blocked from the warm North Atlantic current by Cape Breton Island. Therefore, the harbour here is not an ice-free port. When the temperature drops to a certain level, that is, in winter, once the temperature is too low, the bay area will freeze, affecting fishing.

The local indigenous Indians did not have large fishing nets or large fishing boats, and the catch was limited, and they could not store enough fish for the winter. Therefore, every winter, people in fishing villages always go hungry. Only the southeastern coast, which is fully affected by the warm North Atlantic current and does not freeze in winter, is suitable for Indian native fishermen with low fishing efficiency.

Therefore, after those fishermen chose a new place on the southeastern coast of Newfoundland, they took the village to take a canoe and moved along the coastline collectively, leaving only an abandoned fishing village...

Coincidentally, this abandoned fishing village is where the future Cornerbrook is located...

\u003e

\u003e Garland's people quickly settled in this fishing village, landed and started building a stronghold, and sent people to inquire around to see if there were any other tribes.

But to their dismay, no Horde seems to exist nearby...

It is no wonder that the total number of Beotuk people on Newfoundland at this time may not exceed 10,000. Newfoundland is 110,000 square kilometers in size, so most of the population is concentrated in the southeastern coastal areas. In addition, there are also some local people in the inland mountainous areas who make a living by grazing, but they are relatively small.

In this way, Garland's men, in Corner Brook, successfully built a small castle. In the early days, only a small bunker was built. Later, it gradually expanded and became the size of a small town.

When a group of English immigrants arrived at Cape Breton Island, Garland thought about it, divided 1,000 people and transported them to Corner Brook, where a settlement of English immigrants was built and walled.

In order to keep these English immigrants from freezing to death, Garland popularized the fast-building adobe houses in Corner Brook, and promoted the heated kang more comfortable than the fireplace...

The fireplace is also warm, but needs to be close to get warm. The kang is different. After the fire is burning, you can lie down on the kang and sleep comfortably. Moreover, the stove and chimney of the kang are outside the house. According to Marin's original statement, it is safer than crying. Because, even if carbon monoxide is produced by incomplete combustion, it will escape outside and will not enter the house.

Of course, fireplaces are also less likely to produce carbon monoxide. Mainly, the fireplace mainly burns wood, not coal. Whoever dares to burn coal in the house and then close the doors and windows is definitely courting death...

There are so many timber resources in Newfoundland, just as there are English immigrants who are good at logging and woodworking. As a result, they became the main labor for the immigrants to make furniture.

Fortunately, there is enough food on Cape Breton Island in Garland, and it is not afraid that the English immigrants will starve to death. If there is insufficient food, you can also ask for local mobilization...

The activities of thousands of English immigrants were very concentrated and frequent, and soon, the surrounding areas of Corner Brook were affected by these immigrants.

The reason why Garland sent someone to announce the good news to Marin this time was because some of the immigrants discovered a huge limestone mine in the nearby mountains...

Before, Marin had specially instructed that Garland should send someone to look for limestone mines near Corner Brook. This is important because limestone is the main raw material for making cement. As long as the limestone mines here are discovered, Marin can move the cement factory to Corner Brook.

There is a large limestone mine near Corner Brook and not far from the Sydney Coal Mine on Cape Breton Island. Just find a random clay area nearby, and you can start producing cement on a large scale...

As for the pollution of cement plants? It's a remote place like Newfoundland anyway, who cares...

Also, it's quite hidden here. Even if ships from other countries pass by, they generally pass through the eastern side of Newfoundland, not the fjords in the west.

Marin was also overjoyed when he learned of the discovery of the large limestone mine in Corner Brook. So, he ordered the cement factory to start dividing some craftsmen, intending to move to Corner Brook to build a new cement factory.

In the future, the cement production, Marin intends to go to Corner Brook. Anyway, there are plenty of raw materials there. At most, Marin bought enough fluorite from Europe to send it over as a catalyst for the production of cement. The demand for fluorite as a catalyst is also not large.

It's just that Marin's request to go to Bakens in the mountains of Newfoundland to find lead and zinc mines has not yet come to fruition. After all, Newfoundland is too big. It is indeed troublesome to find a lead-zinc mine in the mountains. Fortunately, Marin gave a reference - Red Indian Lake. As long as you find this long large lake, you can find the Bakens mining area. At that time, as soon as the lead-zinc mine comes out, Marin's galvanized "Silver Saint Seiya" will also be available...
