The Rise of the European Emperor

Tagfacht and Heisenberg each recommended their own subordinates. Malin specifically chatted with the two of them, but through chatting, Malin found that although these two people have a high level of education and are very articulate, they have a fatal flaw - that is, they look down on people...

From these two guys, Marin saw the strange sense of superiority of "I am from a big city, you are all hillbillies" in the people of Xiangjiang and Shanghai in later generations.

It is undeniable that Lübeck and Hamburg were the two wealthiest cities in Germany at this time. Therefore, the locals are inevitably a little proud. However, to be proud to the level of "regional blackness" would be a brain-dead.

In the face of a powerful earl like Marin, who holds a lot of troops in his hands, although the two of them were respectful on the surface, the trace of disdain in their eyes was captured by Marin. Obviously, Marin was regarded as a "hillbilly" by them...

Of course, Marin isn't mad about this and the two. However, Marin knew better that if these two "territorial blacks" were allowed to go to the Crimean Khanate, chances are, they would despise the arrogant Crimean Khan. If Mungojirehan discovers this, all efforts will be over.

And this mission to the Crimean Khanate is so important, it is almost related to the national fortunes of Eastern European countries, and it is also related to the life and death of Sweden. So, Marin had to be cautious.

However, Marin can't come up with a better candidate right now. Because, after all, Marin came up from the bottom, and there is a lack of talents around him. Later, through attracting and cultivating, a group of internal affairs talents were obtained. However, diplomatic talents have not been cultivated. Several alliances were made by Marin himself.

"Do you want me to go out in person this time?" Marin couldn't help but start to think about the possibility of going out on his own.

Obviously, Zealandia is now under the control of the coalition forces, and the Danish waters are also under the control of the combined fleet. In this case, the overall situation is basically set. The only need is that the coalition forces need to capture Copenhagen.

However, after the Danes built the big iron gate, the previous method of breaking the city quickly was no longer available, and a stupid method had to be used. And if you use a stupid method, it doesn't really matter if there is Marlin or not. Although Schwartz is not as big as Marin's brain, it is still quite satisfactory, and it is not a big problem to command the army to break the city with traditional methods.

So, Marin finally made up his mind - he wanted to personally go to the Crimean Khanate to try to buy Mongogiri Khan, make it a counterattack, and attack the rear of the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

When Marin told Tagfacht and Heisenberg what he thought, the two grand speakers were a little surprised:

"Mr. Marin, are you kidding me?"

In fact, their subtext is - you are so good at war, are you also good at diplomacy?

"That's right, in fact, I can speak Tatar..." In the past few years, Marin has learned a lot of Tatar with the brothers Mozhigen and Bartel, which is enough for communication.

After all, Morigen and Battelle had long served as court doctors in the court of the Golden Horde, and it was a must to speak Tatar. As for Marin, his memory became very good after crossing. After studying with the two for a few years, he can speak fluent Tatar.

It is said that the official language of the Golden Horde should be Mongolian. However, with the integration of the Golden Horde and the local people in Eastern Europe, it gradually became Turkic. The official language has also gradually changed from Mongolian to the later Tatar language, which is also the Tatar language spoken in China.

The official language of the Crimean Khanate is naturally Tatar, and Marin learned Tatar, which can be used to communicate with the Crimeans.

Both Tagfacht and Heisenberg had nothing to say, and they had nothing to say in the face of the "Scholar" Marin, who even knew Tatar. And the two men they recommended, although they can speak well, they don't understand Tatar. Originally, they planned to go to the Teutonic country to see if they hired a Tatar-speaking talent.

After all, the Teutonic countries had close relations with the countries of Eastern Europe, and were also German-speaking countries. There, you should be able to find relevant language talents. Unexpectedly, Marin, a "student tyrant", jumped out. As a great noble and a general, he actually said that he could speak Tatar. Does this count as a cross-border?

The two young officials who were recommended by their respective speakers were also very ashamed. Unexpectedly, the "reckless man" Marin, whom they secretly despised, would actually learn to be so tyrannical and could overwhelm them in language - who told them that they didn't understand Tatars? What about this rare language...

In this way, Marin's identity as the main envoy was immediately confirmed, and the young officials recommended by Lübeck and Hamburg served as deputy envoys to the Crimean Khanate together. On the one hand, these two young people need to supervise the whole process, so that they can report back; on the other hand, the two major speakers also hope that they can learn from Marin humbly. After all, they can be valued by the two major speakers. They are also very high-level people, and they are young officials trained by the two cities.

Next, Marin and the two major speakers jointly wrote a diplomatic document and handed it over to Marin. As for the gold coins, first take them from the gold and silver coins seized by the front-line troops, and then make up for them in the two cities.

Of course, to go to the Crimean Khanate, you must first pass through the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania is also an important target for the three companies to win over. Therefore, the three drafted another diplomatic document for Marin to lead the team to visit the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. If possible, it would be good to persuade the Grand Duke of Lithuania to send troops. Of course, it is said that the current Grand Duke of Lithuania, Alexander, is a softball, and it is a bit difficult for him to take the initiative to send troops. But if Crimea took the lead in sending troops and followed behind to get a bargain, this fellow should still understand.

Moreover, after meeting with the Grand Duke of Lithuania, even if the other party does not send troops, it is not a problem to issue a customs clearance document to the mission to ensure that the mission is unimpeded in Lithuania.

You must know that the Grand Duchy of Lithuania is still relatively powerful, and it controls most of Ukraine and is directly connected to the Crimean Khanate. As long as you pass through the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, you will reach the territory of your Crimean Khanate.

And because of Marin's special status, naturally he can't be equipped with a limited number of guards like an ordinary mission. To this end, Schwarz specially selected 100 powerful black knights, plus Sauer's 100 scouts, as accompanying escorts.

Sauer's scouts, all equipped with binoculars at this time, have very powerful reconnaissance capabilities. It is difficult to ambush Marin's team. Moreover, these 100 scouts will also send out dark sentries at night to prevent the enemy from attacking at night. In this way, the safety of Marin on the way of the mission can be fully guaranteed.

As for the 100 black knights, they were specialized in fighting plate knights and infantry. Although it may not have an advantage against the Tartar cavalry archers, it is still no problem to hold the enemy and let Marin escape.

When it was ready, Marin boarded the ship with two deputy envoys and 200 men. None of them brought horses because it was very inconvenient for them to be transported by boat. Therefore, the fleet only holds people and 100,000 gold coins. When he arrived at Königsberg, the capital of the Teutonic Kingdom, Marin could borrow hundreds of horses from his ally, Philip, the head of the Teutonic Knights. Moreover, it is not too far from Konigsberg to Vilnius, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. This road is just fine.

If you borrow two more pack horses per person from Chief Philip, three horses for one person, the journey should be very fast. There were no women and children in the group, and no elderly people. Even the two young civil servants sent by Lübeck and Hamburg were good at horseback riding. One person and three horses, if you hurry up, you can reach the distance at a relatively fast speed...
