The Rise of the European Emperor

Because the basic purpose has been achieved, Marin finally ordered the army to pack up and prepare to withdraw. However, in order to prevent the army from walking away, King Hans of Denmark turned his face, and Marin dismantled several large iron gates in Copenhagen and loaded them into ships.

Originally, the Danes collected most of the iron materials in Copenhagen in order to come up with these big iron gates. Marin was better, unloaded their big iron gate, loaded it on the ship and shipped it back...

In this way, if King Hans dares to turn his face immediately, he will wait to be killed and return to the carbine. Moreover, the next time you come back, Copenhagen will not have a big iron gate to guard it. At that time, if you mobilize a few more naval guns ashore, you will be able to blast open the city gate.

Since losing Sweden, Denmark will also lose its iron base. And spending money to import dozens of tons of iron materials from abroad, King Hans can't do it with the treasury that has been robbed now. At least, Copenhagen won't be able to slow down and get the big iron gate in a year or two.

When the army is about to withdraw, Copenhageners are excited. But the soldiers in Copenhagen were broken. Because of their armor and weapons. As small as an arrow, it was all raided by the coalition forces. That is to say, after the withdrawal of the coalition forces, the defenders of Copenhagen will use wooden sticks to defend the city for a long time... Fortunately, there are tens of thousands of troops in Denmark on the Swedish side. Otherwise, any cat or dog can bully Denmark at this time. ...

After all, Prince Christian did not dare to lead his troops back to occupied Copenhagen, but took the 10,000 troops to Oslo, Norway. After Prince Christian's 10,000 troops withdrew from Sweden and handed over the southern city of Sweden to Sweden, the Quartet also felt that it was almost the same and began to gradually withdraw its troops.

However, in order to further scare the Danish King Hans, Marin drove the captive Danish soldiers and young men, and knocked down the southwestern city wall of Copenhagen. Then, before leaving, Marin told Hans viciously that the reason for tearing down the wall was to prevent its caprices. If Hans dares to break the contract, the coalition forces can come back at any time, enter Copenhagen from the collapsed city wall, and capture him again. But next time, there will be no mercy...

After withdrawing from Copenhagen, suddenly, a large number of soldiers surrounded Marin's frame, scaring Marin to think that there was a mutiny. Kahn and the loyal guards also tightened their nerves, ready to fight at any time.

But what Marin didn't expect was that the soldiers who surrounded Marlin's frame all knelt down a lot...

"This..." Marin was taken aback, and then asked suspiciously:

"Warriors, what are you doing? If you have something to say, stand up first..." After seeing that these soldiers didn't want to kill him, Marin was relieved.

"My lord, we want... we want..." A leading officer named Murt blushed and wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say.

"Just say it when you think of it, my soldiers under Marlin have never been afraid of things. Murt, don't hesitate, just say it!" Marlin said - as long as you don't say 'we want yours Dog's life', nothing else matters...

Multer took a deep breath and said to Marin:

"The Count... Oh no, it's the Duke! You know, most of the soldiers are still bachelors. When you attacked Yevre before, you did reward 2,000 beauties, but it's really not enough. Now, brothers see—there are so many beautiful women in Denmark! Unfortunately, your lord, your military orders are like mountains, and we dare not make up your mind.”

"However, we really want to find a wife! Countless nights, we bachelor soldiers, in our sweet dreams, wet our underwear..."

"Hahaha—" The surrounding soldiers burst into laughter.

Multer blushed, but went on bravely:

"I know that last time, my lord, you specially paid for yourself and sent Captain Art to Naples to buy us a daughter-in-law. It's a pity,

Stopped by the French and Spaniards. I Murther, and my brothers, know that you are good to us. However, there are not many good opportunities like Italy. Also, it will cost you a lot of money. "

"Most of the brothers are hard-working serfs, and they are not much nobler than dogs. It is you, my lord, who gave us a chance to eat enough. They also paid us salaries, and the money we usually saved. I, Murt, were originally fast. The poor ghosts who starve to death can also subsidize their parents and younger siblings to prevent them from starving to death.”

"But, my lord, we really don't have the face to spend your money to buy a wife!" Murt said, wiping away his tears, his eyes were red.

To tell the truth, in this era, the life of a serf, as Murt said, is really no more noble than a dog. Even if you are a bachelor all your life, it's not a big deal.

Hearing Muert's heartfelt words, many soldiers' eyes were red, thinking of the various benefits of Marin to them, which was much better than when they had no food at home and no hope of marrying a daughter-in-law. Some emotional soldiers also cried "woohoo".

However, Marin was confused and did not understand what Murt meant. Because, Murt said at the beginning, the pants he thought about women were wet. However, he said later that he was shameless to ask him to spend money to buy a wife for them...

"Murther, what are you trying to say?" Marin asked curiously.

"Lord Duke, we want... we want... we want..."

"What are you thinking?" Marin asked anxiously.

"We want to ask you to be kind enough to allow us to find a wife in Denmark..." Murter bravely said aloud, then bowed his head shyly...

"Finding a wife in Denmark?" Marin asked, startled:

"We are the invaders, the Danes are willing to marry their daughters to you?"

"My lord, if you relax your discipline, we can figure out a way by ourselves...and, it can save you money..." Murt said in a low voice.

"You mean... to rob?" Marin finally understood. However, he quickly shook his head:

"How can this be done? Our army, a regular army, can't do such immoral things! Remember, no molesting women, no robbing women, no! No!" Marin said angrily.

"My lord, we are not going to rob women!"

"Don't rob women, do you want to rob men?" Marin was stunned - so many gays in our army? Thinking of this, he suddenly felt cold all over...

"Oh...we mean to find those unmarried girls!" Murt was also a little anxious, his master was too dirty...

"Isn't that robbing?"

"Sir, think about it, those Danish girls, we won't rob them, will they marry in the future?"

"Yeah, that's right!" Marin nodded.

"Who are they marrying? Danish men! They are all fighting for the king of Denmark and against you, my lord. Why should they be cheap? Why not cheap us!" A heroic event...

"You...hahaha..." Marin suddenly reacted, and was amused by Murt's divine logic.

However, when he thought about it carefully, it really was - anyway, he had offended Denmark to death, so what if he indulged his subordinates to grab a few Danish girls? Anyway, these big men snatched them back to be wives, they couldn't treat those girls badly, and they weren't like little devils who snatched women first and then killed...

Murter's reasoning is a bit crooked, but it's not unreasonable. Those Danish girls are going to marry Danish men anyway. And those Danish men could easily become the warriors of King Hans of Denmark and their own enemy soldiers. And the cubs they gave birth to with those Danish girls may continue to fight for the Danish king and against themselves in the future... So, it's better to use your own men...

In the end, Marin agreed to the request of Murter and others, and announced that the soldiers without wives would form a team of five alone, and go to the Danish village to "select" their wives during the march...

When Marin asked Murter and others why they didn't grab a wife in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, Murter replied:

"Girls in big cities look good, but if you bring them back to the countryside, they won't be able to do farm work, so it's useless!" This reason is very good and powerful, with rural characteristics...

It seems to prove this point. When those bachelors and soldiers are robbing a Danish girl, they first look at their face and body; second, they look at PP to see if they can give birth; and third, they look at their hands. calluses...

This third eye is very important. In this era, there is no compulsory education. Girls from ordinary families do not go to school, and most of them work with their parents since childhood. Of course, there are also lazy girls who are used by their parents and are not used to working in the fields.

But there is a difference in the palms of girls who love to work and those who don't. Those girls who work in the fields since childhood will have calluses on their palms. And those lazy girls who have regarded themselves as princesses since childhood have white and tender palms.

These honest and simple warriors, most favored those girls with calluses on their palms. And those girls who don't have calluses on their hands, unless they are beautiful, are ignored... Moreover, those who are beautiful but have no calluses on their hands are mostly robbed by officers, and soldiers are generally not interested...

Moreover, after these big bosses grabbed the girl they liked, they would take the girl to the quartermaster to ask for help to register, and put their black cross and white vest on the girl they liked, and ask the quartermaster on the white vest. Write your name so you don't make a mistake...

On the way to the Principality of Schleswig, Marin watched as these eager subordinates performed how to snatch the Danish "flower girl"...

However, Marin is a person who knows the proportions, and will not rob other people's daughters in vain. Whenever a soldier stole a girl from a certain house, Marin would give him 1 gold coin as a dowry gift. It's not much, but it's better than nothing. Moreover, Marin will send someone to register the family's address and surname, as well as the military number of the robbery soldier. So that one day the wives of those soldiers will get homesick and it will be inconvenient to visit relatives. After all, civilians in this era are basically illiterate.

Even Marin asked the translator to promise to the families of the Danish farmers whose daughters were robbed—if life gets tough in the future, the whole family can sneak away to live in the Principality of Schleswig. Just prove your daughter "married" my soldier. To this end, Marin also specially made a "receipt" to each family. In the future, if these people want to immigrate to Schleswig, they will be properly settled with this "receipt"... This promise is much more beneficial than that one gold coin...
