Due to the limited availability of zinc ingots, Marin cannot start mass-producing gunmetal and naval bronze now. Therefore, we need to wait until the Buckens lead-zinc mine on Newfoundland Island produces more zinc before we can consider mass production of gunmetal and naval copper.

At the same time, the Bakens lead-zinc mine can also produce a certain amount of lead, copper, and a small amount of silver and gold. Needless to say, the role of lead is necessary for the manufacture of lead bullets. The value of copper is also high, especially now that the price of copper in Europe is very expensive. However, the average grade of copper ore here is only 157. In addition, the transportation of ore is difficult, and the mining cost is much higher than that of the Swedish Falun copper mine.

I was thinking about the Falilun Copper Mine in Sweden, when Kohler came over to report the information from Sweden—Old Stenstulay passed away...

Marlin nodded, indicating that he understood. Marin wasn't surprised by the death of Stenstour Sr. Because, old Stenstuley should have died at the end of 1503. It was Marin, who sent two Mongolian doctors, with superb medical skills, and the use of the magical oriental radish - ginseng obtained from the Central Asian trade route, to extend the life of the old Stenstuley.

It is a pity that old Stens Touré was already in his sixties and collapsed as early as 1503. Although he used ginseng to prolong his life, it is a pity that the old guy did not take good care of his body and did not cultivate in time. Instead, he continued to work hard. After struggling for two more years, he still passed away...

In fact, the death of the old Stens Toure also has a certain relationship with Marin. Before, in order to extend the life of the old Stenstree, Marin did not hesitate to buy ginseng from the East from the Crimeans at a great cost to extend the life of the old Stenstree. But since reaching a settlement with King Hans of Denmark, Marin has deliberately stopped the supply of old Stensture ginseng. Moreover, this thing is indeed not easy to sell, and the price is high.

Without ginseng's life extension, plus old Stenstuley working day and night for Sweden's national affairs, he finally couldn't hold it up - just as Marin expected...

And so, before Christmas in the winter of 1505, the frail old Stenstoure finally fell...

At this time, in Sweden, there is a lot of quarrel over who is to be elected as the new king. The death of the old Stenstuley also had a major relationship with the king's choice.

If it were placed in ancient China, a regent with a high prestige like old Stenstuley might have directly assumed the throne when the throne was vacant.

It is a pity that this is Europe, ancient Europe, very particular about blood. Old Stenstuley came from a low-level aristocratic family. Although his ability was outstanding, his background was really not noble. If you replace it with a military power figure like Marin, maybe you can directly ascend to the Swedish throne. Unfortunately, Sweden and Poland are similar, and the king election system is popular.

Moreover, it is popular to choose a new king among the great nobles of the country. Large families such as Sweden's famous Vaasa family, the Bondi family, the Toth family and the Oxenchener family are the most powerful contenders for the Swedish king.

But the problem now is that these big noble families do not currently have particularly outstanding representatives. Old Stenstuley has been tossing around, but he can't find a new king that the whole of Sweden can convincely accept. To this end, the old Stens Toure was helpless. In addition, the supply of ginseng soup that had always been there was suddenly cut off, and the already weak body was finally unable to support...

After the death of the old Stenstulay, the country suddenly became in chaos. Originally, with the repression of a very prestigious and capable man like Old Stens Toure, Sweden was relatively peaceful.

But the sudden death of the old Stens Toure caused Sweden to be in chaos. Everyone was already vying for the throne, but now the person in charge suddenly died, making the struggle for the throne even more chaotic. Even some families have begun to gear up and plan to use force to solve the problem of the throne...

After the death of the old Stenstulay, he left behind a son - little Stenstulay. It is a pity that little Stens Toure was born in 1492 and is only 13 years old now. No matter how you choose, the benefits have nothing to do with the little guy...

Seeing that the Swedish civil war was about to break out, in order to stabilize the situation, everyone finally made a compromise - let the former deputy of the old Stens Toure, Swant Nilsson, succeed the position of consul and manage Sweden. But, in the meantime, the debate on who to choose to be king continues...

Swant Nilsson has good ability, but no prestige. The most important thing is - he can't hold back the big families in Sweden...

When old Stenstulay was alive, several big families were restrained because of their prestige. However, the newly appointed consul, Swant Nilsson, has the ability, but the prestige is too poor. At the government affairs meeting, the representatives of the big families did not give Swantenilson much face.

In fact, Swanten Nilsson came from a noble family - his mother came from the Bondi family of King Carl VIII.

If Swanten Nilsson was born in the Bondi family, it is estimated that there is no need to choose, the king must be Swante Nilsson. After all, no matter how prestige he is, he is stronger than those incompetent guys from the big family.

However, Swanten Nilsson's paternal family, the Stull family, is not the top family, and cannot compete with the Vaasa family and the Bondi family. Even the patriarch of his mother's family, the Bundy family, did not support Swant Nilsson. After all, the Bondi family also wanted to fight for the throne.

So, now in Sweden, after the death of the old Stenstuure, it is a mess. Because, several powerful families, all want to compete for this throne...

You know, competing for the king and competing for the future president are completely two concepts. Because, kings are hereditary, and presidents do it in turn.

As long as the throne is won, if there is no extinction, the throne is generally hereditary by a family, which belongs to "a success, benefits for generations". Therefore, the competition for the throne was very fierce, and everyone refused to give in to each other.

For example, the Bondi family believed that their family, who had had King Carl VIII, belonged to a family of noble blood and should inherit the throne. But the Toth family expressed strong opposition, because Karl VIII had only one daughter and was married to the Toth family. Therefore, the Toth family believes that the throne should be in the Toth family.

The Vasa family and several other powerful families believed that Karl VIII was also selected by several major families. Since Karl VIII was elected by everyone, why can't he choose again...

For this throne, several major families have fought extremely hard, almost reaching the critical point of using force...

Originally, it had nothing to do with Marlin. However, according to the information, after the death of the old Stenstulay, some big Swedish families began to covet the huge benefits of the Falun Copper Mine. In particular, the Vasa family who later came out of the second master of Gu. Because the Fayilun copper mine is very close to the Vaasa family's territory. Facing the huge reserves and output of the Fayilun Copper Mine, the Vasa family had a bad idea and planned to join forces with other powerful families to snatch the huge benefits of the copper mine...
