King of German Mercenaries

After one night, Marin's army was in complete control of Emden City, and the weapons in the hands of the residents, even kitchen knives, were temporarily confiscated.

Early the next morning, Marin gathered the corpses on the street into the square, and invited the priests from the church in the city to pray for them. At the same time, Marin asked the residents of the city to come and claim the bodies of their family members. However, in the dark, Marin sent someone to secretly record the identities of these people...

It's not that Marin wants to kill the families of these rebels, but that since Marin killed their families, he has forged an insoluble hatred with them. Therefore, in the future, these people, Marin will definitely be monitoring. Therefore, he has to be aware of it, so as to avoid being revolted without knowing it.

One statistic shocked Marin. There were only 5,000 residents in Emden, but yesterday, more than 1,200 people took to the streets to fight, accounting for a quarter of the total population. And if you count the family members of these people, it is estimated that half of the residents of Emden have a deadly feud with Marin...

Marin was really frightened, and he began to dare not continue to regard Emden as the capital. Because, with a death feud with the residents of half the city, will there be a shortage of people to assassinate you in the future?

For the safety of himself and his family, Marin decided to cut the weeds. Of course, he wouldn't be crazy enough to kill the families of those who resisted. However, it is impossible to leave them in Emden.

To this end, Marin decided to come up with an oriental way of dealing with the rebels - sitting together...

As for a more specific solution, it is exile...

This trick was learned from the tsar. At the beginning, the tsar treated his opponents and exiled them to the cold Siberia to play with the bears.

Marin does not have the Jedi exiles these people like Siberia, but they can exile these people to North America and let them play with the Indians...

To this end, Marin was ruthless. After the body was claimed, he sent people to control the families of the civilians who died in the battle according to the list, announced the punishment as slaves, and concentrated on guarding them.

When Marin went to visit the families of the deceased who were being controlled, sure enough, Marin saw Chi Guoguo's hatred in their eyes...

In fact, this is not surprising. Put yourself in the shoes and think about it. If Marin's own family was killed, he would also want to kill the guy who killed his family. Therefore, these people are definitely unable to win, so it is better to find an opportunity to exile them and let them fend for themselves.

Emden is very important to East Friesland because it is the best port city in East Friesland. And Marin is a good trader.

An important city like Emden City must be controlled by oneself. Therefore, the relatives of the deceased, about 1,300 people, must not stay in the city. If they destroy one day, the loss will be huge.

At this time, in the royal palace in the center of Emden, Edsard I walked around the room anxiously. He had seen Marin's total strength, as many as several thousand. And he had only 500 knights, guarding the castle. However, the castle was surrounded by circles, and it was almost impossible to break through. And after a long time, the food in the castle will definitely not be able to withstand consumption. Edsard I calculated and found that the food in the castle could last up to 10 days. Because, these 500 warriors are all big belly...

After 10 days, there will be no food in the castle. At that time, there may be a soldier who is too hungry to bear and surrenders. Once someone opens the castle gates, it is almost certain that he and his family will be captured.

However, Edsard I knew that the other party would definitely not let him go. Because the other party is not here to rob, but to ask for the earl's throne. It's just that he doesn't understand, isn't the other party the descendant of the intermarriage of noble concubines? Why do you still dare to attack yourself? Even if he is defeated, does he have the right to become the count of East Frisian?

This question, Marin quickly told him...

On the morning of the third day, Marin called representatives of the whole city, and in the square south of the palace, he took out a forged document called "Old Earl Brock conferred the title of Baron of the Savannah family", and invited the priests and clan elders in the city on the spot. On-site identification...

And where can these people be identified? You know, Marin's craftsmanship is professional. Moreover, even the parchment he used for counterfeiting was old, and at a glance, he knew that it was an old object. And the text on the parchment, after being aged, looks like it was signed a long time ago...

Therefore, no one in the whole city could see what was wrong, and nothing was wrong. Therefore, everyone present acknowledged the authenticity of this document.

As for the issue of archiving, it is easier - the original bottom file was destroyed by the rebellious Ukner family. Marin also stated that even the Serksner family didn't know about this matter, only the old Ukner who betrayed it at the beginning knew it. However, the old Ukner has been dead for many years, who can ask him for confirmation?

Also, Marin's explanation is quite reasonable. At the beginning, after the success of the old Ukna rebellion, it did destroy many files of the Bullock family when they were in power. Maybe, the bottom file of Marin's file was destroyed at that time...

Afterwards, Marin showed the documents that Mrs. Mary transferred her inheritance rights to herself, as well as the documents that Adler renounced the inheritance rights of East Friesland, officially proving his legal right to inherit the title of Earl of East Friesland.

When Marin announced loudly on the square south of the palace that he was the rightful Earl of East Frisian, Edsard I stood in the castle and heard the news, his nose was crooked - I'm not dead yet Well, you want to take away the title of earl, what a bastard...

But Edsard I also saw that, in Emden, he was gone. There is no hope of staying here. So, he decided to use the cards left by the family...

"Madame, let's escape together!" Edsard I said to his newly married wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Count Rietberg.

"But, dear, we are surrounded by circles, how do we leave?"

"Our family has long considered this possibility. So, back then, my father left a secret passage leading directly to the outside of the city..."

"Ah, that's great, let's go! By the way, what about these soldiers in the castle? Take them away?"

"I can't bring it. Outside the secret passage, there are only two horses prepared, just one for each of us. The others, there is no extra. If we bring this group of soldiers, they may compete with us for horses..." Edsard I was a wise man, he knew very well that in times of crisis, some people's nature would be exposed. Especially when there are only two horses running for their lives, there may be some soldiers who turn their faces and fight for the horses with themselves or their wives. Therefore, he decided to take only his wife and flee to Aurich, another important town in East Friesland. Then, with Aurich as the center, he rallied the entire country to fight against that boy named Marin Hoffman.

After all, the whole country of East Frisian can assemble seven or eight thousand people. Not counting the thousands of people lost in the city, six or seven thousand people can be recruited in other places. There are so many people, plus the strong city walls of Orihi, not to mention defeating the enemy, at least they can guarantee undefeated, as well as their own prosperity and wealth.

As for the 500 elites in the city, Edsard I was also very reluctant. So, he decided to tell them where the secret way is by leaving a letter. Go first, and when these subordinates discover the letters they left behind, they will also flee along the secret passage, and they are not worried about them robbing their horses...

So, after leaving a letter in his room, Edsard I took his wife, some important identification items and gold, and escaped through the tunnel...

By coincidence, the tunnel exit of Edshard I was also in the east of the city, only a few hundred meters away from the yard where Marin dug the tunnel. It seems that when Edsard I's father dug the tunnel, he also fully considered the problem of groundwater.

At the exit of the tunnel, King Edsard I quickly found the owner of the small yard guarding this exit, and successfully got the two horses that had been prepared here for a long time.

Then, the husband and wife, mounted their horses and headed eastward, preparing to go to Aurich City...

However, Edsard did not know that Marin had deployed 400 cavalry outside the city in order to prevent the news of Emden from being attacked. Among them, most of them are located in the east of the city...

Then, Edsard I had the cup...

Edsard I and his wife's horses are good horses, but he is facing the interception of hundreds of knights...

Soon, the couple both fell into the hands of Sauer...

At first, because Edsard I and his wife changed into civilian clothes, Sauer never thought that he was Edsard I. But after searching behind him, Sauer found the identity proof of Edsard I - the crown and the golden scepter, and immediately became very excited...

To capture the leader of the enemy, how much credit is this? Sauer was very happy. However, it is also very important for how Edsard I escaped. So he immediately began to ask how Edsard I escaped. However, Edsard I seemed to be very stubborn, and he did not say a word when he was beaten.

In desperation, Sauer began to extort a confession from his wife, Elizabeth. At first, Elizabeth refused to say anything, but Sauer threatened that if she didn't say it, she would let her friends learn from the sky, and Elizabeth finally got scared, so she said something authentic...

Sauer did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent someone to block the tunnel exit, and sent someone to report to Marin immediately...
