The Rise of the European Emperor

Marin is not blind. Although he can't see the expressions of the recruits on the city wall ten kilometers away, he has observed over the past few days and found that the recruits of the Fifth Army guarding the city wall are getting more and more handy. .

In the first two or three days, the British troops who were attacking the city often found loopholes and occupied a section of the city wall. Although the British army will eventually be driven down, it has also brought a threat to the city wall. However, as the recruits became more accustomed to it, this became less common. On the seventh day of the siege, Marin only found that there was only one danger at the top of the city, and it was quickly dealt with.

Marin was very happy to see the growth of these 5th Corps recruits. In order to better train these recruits, Marin even revised the plan to launch an attack seven days later, and decided to wait a few more days...

Although it is said that this week's siege battle is estimated to have caused more than 1,000 casualties to the recruits. However, Marin is not worried. why? Because the Fifth Legion has a mature field medical team...

This mature medical team has enough clean gauze wrapped in oil paper bags, as well as a large amount of medical alcohol "essence" (both are by-products of the production of Erguotou, that is, the more choking parts of "Guotou" and "Guotou" ), as well as sufficient Jinchuang 'medicine' prepared by Mo Zhigen and Battelle... As long as they are not fatally wounded and disabled, they can basically be rescued...

In the old army of the same era, it is a miracle that half of the wounded on the battlefield can survive... But in Marin's army, the survival rate is more than half...

In order not to let the French learn this skill, the wounded of the Fifth Army were carried to the field hospital under martial law for confidential treatment. Therefore, those French people in the city did not know the means of treating the wounded by the Fifth Army. Otherwise, these Frenchmen will definitely report to Louis XII.

As for whether the French will discover the "miracle" that the survival rate of the wounded is high, Marin is not very worried. why? Because the wounded on the battlefield generally do not die when they leave the battlefield, but after the wound is infected, they will die painfully for a long time. But Marin didn't have to wait until a few days before he would take down the British forces outside York. The V Corps and the French could then part ways. At that time, the ghost knows the survival rate of the wounded of the Fifth Army?

It is precisely because of this confidence that Marin planned to postpone it for a few more days, so that the recruits of the Fifth Corps would be more familiar with the atmosphere of the next battlefield. You must know that such a relatively safe training atmosphere is something you can't find...

...

Just as a 'fierce' urban offensive and defensive battle broke out inside and outside York City, far away in the American colony, Cuba Island, there was also a battle between the colonial army and the indigenous people...

Of the 600 fighters who went to Cuba, 300 had been hunters in the Black Forest, and they were all good at tracking and 'shooting'. The other 300 people are also old residents of the Black Forest and are no strangers to the jungle. Also, Marin sent them to Cuba last year.

However, until now, in the middle and late May of the second year, this group of people started to work...

why? Not acclimatized...

If I talk about it too much, I will cry. Marin has thought about it carefully enough, and specially eliminated those who are afraid of heat. However, the climate difference between Cuba and Germany is too great. One is the tropical rain forest, the other is the temperate black forest, completely two worlds...

Therefore, after the 600 jungle fighters arrived on Cuba Island by boat for three or four months, the first thing they did was get sick collectively...

Of course, it's not the kind of fatal disease, but the kind of disease that is not too small and not too small. Although not fatal, it is enough to make 600 people lose most of their combat effectiveness...

In desperation, Tara, the governor of Havana, had to raise the uncles first, serving ginger and brown sugar every day to help them adjust...

After a few months of cultivation and adaptation, all the uncles gradually adapted to the Cuban climate. Then, they began to try to 'sex' some small tribes near Havana to practice their skills...

Because of the existence of 300 forest hunters and some Alsatian wolf dogs, those local tribes could not even escape after the defeat. After all, it is easy for those indigenous warriors to escape, but it is very difficult for the old and weak 'women' and children in their stockade to escape... Following their scent, the ancestors of the German Shepherd, the Alsatian wolf dogs, can easily find them... By the way Let me mention that when they first arrived in Cuba, these Alsatian wolfdogs had symptoms of acclimatization that were stronger than people, and they were almost too sick to move...

Of course, the expedition did not harm those Cuban natives. After crushing some fighters who resisted the 'fierce' with clockwork guns, most of the natives were captured.

Those natives are actually not very weak in combat. But I had never seen a musket—the flames and smoke from the musket, as well as the thunderous noise, scared the indigenous warriors to the ground. Even, once, Tara also found that an indigenous tribe's "number one warrior" was frightened by the loud noise of the musket on the spot and 'urinated' and 'trousers'... That's not right, the indigenous people don't have 'trousers', they are wrapping The leaves and animal skins on the lower body are 'urinating' wet...

Relying on the enormous power and earth-shattering sound of the platoon guns, the local tribes were no match for the expeditionary force. Even if he wanted to ambush, he would be seen through by the alertness of the Alsatian wolfdog. And the traps were all broken by the forest hunters one by one... This battle can't be fought. The local tribes were either defeated and captured, or they fled ahead of time...

By the end of June, a month later, the Cuban Expeditionary Force had defeated twenty Taino tribes and captured more than seven thousand people. The area under control is almost five or six thousand square kilometers, roughly equivalent to most of the later Havana Province and Havana City. No matter how far away, because the jungle walk is not far away, it is temporarily out of control.

However, Tara was not disappointed. Because five or six thousand square kilometers of land is already big enough. You must know that the North American twin islands that Tara previously managed were only about 500 square kilometers in total. And the five or six thousand square kilometers around Havana is more than ten times the area he managed before. As long as it is developed, there will be a lot of land...

Moreover, the freshwater resources on the island of Cuba are very abundant, not only abundant rainfall, but also many rivers, which are very suitable for agriculture. Meanwhile, the terrain around Havana is pretty flat…

After conquering the surrounding area of ​​thousands of square kilometers, Tara took the strong men directly, and asked the soldiers to take the captured Taino strong men and captives and cut down trees together. On an island full of tropical rain forests, only by cutting down trees and digging out their roots can they be cultivated into farmland...

Of course, for those woods suitable for shipbuilding, Tara also intends to send professionals to process and preserve them for future shipbuilding needs.

The problem is that Cuba is a tropical region, and the tree species here are very different from those on the North American continent. When they were on the twin islands of North America, Tara and his subordinates could also separate the white oak tree and the red oak tree that Malin specially 'crossed', and preserved these two trees suitable for shipbuilding completely for the needs of shipbuilding. .

However, the wood in the Cuban forests are all tropical trees, and most of Tara and his men do not know, nor do they know what kind of wood is suitable for boat building. So, in desperation, Tara was going to write a letter to Marin for help, asking Marin to send some shipbuilders with good eyesight and rich knowledge to identify the local trees on Cuba Island and see which kind of trees are suitable for boat building. In this way, Tara can also keep the logs suitable for shipbuilding for a year or two, so that they can be used for shipbuilding. As for those that are not suitable for shipbuilding, they can be used directly as firewood... Or, they can be used to build houses and make general furniture...

As for the Manhattan Island of New York under Albert's jurisdiction, although Marin sent thousands of soldiers, the army is still in the training and adaptation stage because there are relatively few forest hunters.

The climate in New York is not bad, and only a few of the people sent there are unacceptable. After all, they belong to the temperate region. It's just that because there are too few hunters in the Black Forest, most of them need to receive forest adaptation training from the dozens of former Black Forest hunters, and they have not yet attacked the Mohicans. stage. Now, they've only just stepped out of Manhattan, exploring north along the Hudson River. The attack will not be launched until it reaches the Mohican territory...
