Chapter 1253 Fake fertilizer
At this time, Petrak's confidant Danilo ran in hurriedly and said:
"Captain of the company, hurry up! If you don't withdraw earlier, you may be chased!"
"Chasing? Didn't we do our jobs for the Legion Commander?" Deputy Company Captain Hagasa was a little puzzled.
When Petrak, who was vomiting blood, heard this, he was so scared that he swallowed a large mouthful of blood immediately, stood up straight, and then suddenly waved the knife to smear Hagasa's neck...
Then, he slapped Danilo in the face with his backhand:
"You idiot, haven't you seen Hagassa here too?"
Hagasa was the one who tricked Petrak into action, not the same group of them. Fortunately, the soldiers present were all Petrak's confidants. He was not surprised that Petrak killed Hagasa.
Danilo, who covered his face, said anxiously:
"It's too late. If you're late, the pursuers will come. Please retreat early!"
"But I haven't asked about the secret yet..." Boss Petrack was reluctant.
"Then take the secret to the living mouth!"
"All dead..."
Danilo was stunned and said speechlessly:
"Then bring the fertilizer sample and identify it for the scholars under the Duke..."
"Okay!"
Then, Petrak took away more than a dozen small cloth bags, which contained fertilizer samples.
After loading the samples, Petrak hurriedly got on the horse and ran away with 50 confidants...
However, Petrak didn't know that there was actually someone in this fertilizer yard that knew a little more. That was a coolie who transported manure blocks.
He originally worked in a feces collection center not far from here (the feces are too smelly, and the feces processing center is generally built in a remote downwind. After the feces are air-dried and removed, he sent people to the fertilizer processing site to stir and distribute them). Today he came here to visit his brother who was a mixer. However, when a group of people were caught just now, Doer hid in the corner, and the workers did not recognize him, so he did not give him up. If he was caught, the secret of the feces would be exposed.
I can only say that Petrak was very unlucky. However, he really didn't have time. Because he wouldn't be able to leave if he left a little later...
...
Soon, Petrak and his group left, 200 cavalry rushed over from the city of Schleswig in the east...
After seeing the body of the deputy company captain Hagassa, several abandoned team leaders knew that they were used. Therefore, when the cavalry sent by Steindorf arrived, they immediately chose to surrender and confessed to Petrak.
After knowing the truth, the cavalry immediately sent people back to the city to report to Steindorf...
"What? How dare this bastard Petrak covet the secret of fertilizer?" Steindorf was shocked. You know, this was Marin's taboo, and he didn't dare to inquire about it casually.
"Then did he ask for the secret?" Steindorf asked nervously.
"No, I heard that the chief and deputy director who were informed were all dead. Petrak had no choice but to take away a batch of samples, which should be given to the person behind him for identification." The cavalry who reported the news replied.
"Bastard, chase me, be sure not to let the secret of fertilizer be leaked!"
"They are all one man and two horses, and it is difficult to chase. The commander of the legion, we are heavy cavalry, and I'm afraid it's difficult to catch up..."
"Then send the scout cavalry... No, yesterday it seemed that the Cossack Cavalry Legion came near the city of Schleswig... Go and invite the commander of the Alsace Legion!"
The Cossack cavalry legion is all light cavalry, and one person has two horses, or even three horses. They will definitely be able to catch up when they chase. After all, the horses that Petrak ridden by the people are not professional war horses, but pack horses used by the army to rush. Even if one person has two horses, they cannot escape the professional Eastern European Mongolian horses of the Cossack cavalry. When it comes to long journeys, Eastern European Mongolian horses are very good at.
"I don't know them, how can I chase them?" The commander of the Artsace Legion was a little confused when he learned that Steindorf asked him to chase someone.
"It's okay, you can just send someone to chase him. On the way, you will catch up with him and take him down. When you encounter someone with his pocket and there is something unknown in his pocket, you can take it back and kill him directly!" Steindorf said.
Arthas knew that the Second Legion and the Third Legion were pretending to rebel because he had received secret orders. Therefore, he had no objection to Steindorf's request, and directly dispatched two Cossack cavalry regiments, divided into several teams, and chased Petrak and others to the south...
Steindorf immediately wrote a secret letter and sent someone to give it to Marin...
"What? The fertilizer in the fertilizer yard was taken away?" Marin was shocked and immediately attracted Schwartz, Kohler and others to discuss the matter.
After seeing the secret letter, Kohler was shocked and stood up and said:
"Lord, we made a big mistake!"
"What a big mistake?" Marin was stunned.
"Once the coalition of princes goes north, we will definitely go directly to the fertilizer field, and we forgot to transfer the people in the fertilizer field, especially those who know the secret!"
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Marin patted his head in annoyance. If this hadn't happened, he would have almost forgot about it.
After reacting, Malin immediately ordered Kohler:
"Hurry and send someone to transfer all the secrets in the fertilizer yard to avoid falling into the hands of the coalition forces of the princes! All the fertilizers will be taken away!"
Kohler was stunned for a moment and said:
"It's not right. If the other party can't find the fertilizer, they will know that we dug a hole for them. If it is reported, the princes will react..."
"you mean?"
"How about getting some fake fertilizer?" Kohler suggested.
"Fake fertilizer? What should I use as fake fertilizer?" Marin hesitated.
"How about volcanic ash? Didn't you pretend to be cement before?" Kohler suggested.
"Volcanic ash? That's real fertilizer..." Marin said speechlessly.
"Really fertilizer?" Kohler was also stunned.
"Well, the 'Golden Basin' in Sicily, Italy relies on fertile soil of volcanic ash. Tell them that volcanic ash is not good for them?" Marin said unhappily.
"Will the volcanic ash fertilizer be as effective as our compound fertilizer?" Kohler asked.
"Of course it's far less! Volcanic ash is at best at farm labor, and there are less volcanic ash, which is more in Italy... Hey... it seems to work..."
Marin suddenly remembered that there seemed to be not much volcanic ash. Moreover, not all volcanic ash can be used as fertilizer. Because some volcanic ash contains toxic ingredients and can easily damage crops.
Therefore, even if others know that volcanic ash is fertilizer, it is useless. First of all, there is less volcanic ash, only Italy has a little more.
Secondly, even if you find volcanic ash, it may not be volcanic ash that can be used as fertilizer. In ancient times, people who did not know chemistry might have toxic volcanic ash scattered into the fields. Then, after the crops were finished, there was no food... Well, it just so happened that Marin had the food in his hand, and he could sell it at a high price...
Moreover, while leaking the secret of volcanic ash, it can also guide people to pay attention to Italy and set off a new round of Italian wars for hegemony...
"Hehe... this idea is good! Kohler, hurry up and get volcanic ash and put it in the fertilizer processing site. Then, deliberately arranged for the spy to be caught and told them the secret of the volcanic ash. There is an example of the 'Golden Basin' in Sicily, Spain, first, if you don't believe it, they don't believe it!"
