The Rise of the European Emperor

Riding and archery is a very advanced technology. After all, it is too difficult to hit the target with a bow and arrow on the back of a horse running at high speed. Because, the war horse bumps up and down during the running process. And the rider will also bump up and down. In this state, how difficult it is to hit the target! Without a few years or ten years of hard training, don't even think about becoming proficient.

Of course, Pujinski, the chief cavalry instructor, did not expect to let those black young apprentices master the powerful ability of riding and shooting. His plan is to let these teenagers learn archery and horseback riding first. Then, learn to stop the horse before aiming at the target.

This requirement is relatively simple. As long as the archery level reaches a certain level, it can be cast. After all, archery on a stationary horseback is not very different from foot shooting. This is much easier to master than riding and shooting.

However, even stopping the horse to shoot arrows is still very far away for those black teenagers. At present, they need to practice 10-meter foot shooting first, and the simplest riding skills. For this reason, Puginsky and others specially selected some of the most docile mares to let those teenagers practice basic riding skills.

While teaching the black teenagers the basics of riding and archery, the cavalry team composed of 60 Eunuch Mao will also be sent by Eschwein to go hunting. Like, shoot some antelope and bison or something.

For the bison, Eschwein also made an extremely important arrangement—he ordered Puginsky and others to try to capture as many cows and calves as possible.

The specific method is to dig a batch of traps in advance. Then thousands of horse archers provoked. And the guardian bulls of the African bison herd (mainly African buffalo) must come out to fight. At this time, the eunuchs of the cavalry archers shot and killed the aggressive bulls first.

Then, the herd that lost the powerful bull will definitely flee in chaos. At this time, the eunuchs of the horse archers will drive them to the direction where the trap was dug. After that, there will definitely be a group of African buffaloes falling into the pit.

Next, it is the link of catching cattle. The African buffalo is a very ferocious animal, but it is not the simple and honest old scalper in the imagination of ordinary people. Therefore, in the process of catching cattle, the cavalry archers need to shoot and kill some cattle that resist fiercely. Then, keep only a few tame cows and calves.

Of course, the process of catching cattle requires the help of the local boss. Because those old blacks have good physical fitness and great strength. Moreover, in the process of holding down the African bison, there may be casualties, such as being pushed by the horns or something. Those eunuchs who are good at riding and archery are all treasures, so we can't let them suffer casualties. Therefore, the dangerous work of holding down and tying up the buffalo is naturally left to those strong adult old blacks. As for casualties, they don't care. After all, it is common for people who hang out on the African savannah to be killed or injured. If you accidentally encounter a violent beast, you will die.

After these bison are tied up, they will naturally wear copper nose rings, and then further domesticated. And this job is naturally handed over to the local old black.

Marin helped the local blacks, not from the white gang. For example, teaching them how to ride and shoot, and even buying them bob horses, is to be able to buy domesticated African buffalo from the local area. After all, Marin's tropical plantations in Cuba require a large number of cattle adapted to the tropical climate.

In fact, in this era, along the Senegal River in northern Senegal and the Gambia River in south-central Senegal, many local indigenous tribes have domesticated African buffalo and carried out large-scale breeding. Of course, their so-called breeding means stocking. Because cattle do not need to be carefully served, they just need to be driven out to eat grass and drink water.

It's just that there are no tribes raising cattle near the starting landing point chosen by Marin. And Eschwein is also doing his best to help local blacks learn to raise cattle. Because, this is what Marin's tropical colony needs.

...

The story is divided into two parts. When Eschwein was forming a cavalry team in the south and teaching the locals to ride and shoot, the Fourth Army of Saqqara in Scotland in the far north also began to wade and land near Edinburgh.

This small fishing village called Seton was the landing point chosen by the spies of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce long ago. In order to prepare for the landing army, the North Sea Chamber of Commerce had sent a spy who knew Scottish Gaelic, bought a large piece of land in Seton, and built several long bridge piers to facilitate the docking of ships.

One night in early August, the moon was sparse. The fishermen in the small fishing village have already fallen asleep. After all, there were no televisions in this day and age, not even electric lights. As for candles, poor fishermen could not afford them. Therefore, it has become a habit for people to go to bed after dark.

But on the pier of this fishing village, on the long bridge pier newly built by the new rich man Hatton, there is a strange bonfire burning...

why? Because, this rich man in Hatton needs to guide his companions at sea...

Under the expectant eyes of Hatton and several of his men, at midnight, several medium-sized ships appeared on the sea near the small fishing village of Seton, slowly approaching the fishing village of Seton.

At sea, the people on the boat saw the bonfire from a long distance...

"That's right there. It seems that Hatton is already ready. Brothers, prepare to stop the boat at the shore, and then control the road leading to the outside world from the fishing village!"

"Understood, boss!"

...

After a while, several medium-sized ships finally successfully docked at several long bridge piers. Then, from several boats, more than 300 heavily armed soldiers came down...

Apparently, these soldiers were all soldiers of Saqqara's Fourth Legion. They are the vanguard of the Fourth Army Corps landing, and their task is to control this small fishing village and prevent the news from leaking out. After all, if it is attacked when it first lands, it is easy to cause large casualties.

These more than 300 heavily armed soldiers did not stop after landing, and directly led the three roads leading to the outside of the fishing village silently under the leadership of Hatton's men. Moreover, he also brought a few horses, which were ridden by scouts and wandered outside the village. Once someone escapes, they will hunt down them mercilessly...

When the villagers woke up early the next morning, they found that there were soldiers of unknown origin inside and outside the small fishing village. Forced by the soldiers with swords and spears, the terrified fishermen retreated to their houses, closed the doors and trembled.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Fourth Army had strict discipline and did not do anything outrageous. Their mission is to seal off the village and prevent people from entering or leaving at will.

After daybreak, more than a hundred "big boats" of more than 200 tons suddenly appeared on the sea near the small fishing village of Seton, and slowly approached the direction of the fishing village.

Then, a dozen ships pulled up to the pier. And more boats are heading towards the beach east of the small fishing village of Seton... ()
