The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 133 Land Redemption and Custody Policy (Part 1)

When marching on land, only Marin's 18,000 troops were left. After landing, they joined the 1,000 Lancers left on the ground. As for the troops of Lübeck and Hamburg, they were transported away by their ships.

At the time of the evacuation, Marin asked the navy sailors to return the 150 Kirk sailboats that had been allocated to East Friesland by sea, with the last of their belongings.

And Marin himself, with the army and food, first went to the port of Kellon Fort in the northwest of Zeeland, which is the place where he landed on Zeeland from Veele.

Along the way, the soldiers grabbed a lot of Danish village girls. However, these village girls were formed into a team by Marin alone, and the monkeys were not allowed to touch them. According to Marin, after going back to hold a mass wedding, everyone would take the beauties home, so what...because at that time, what was legal for girls, and it was in accordance with the canon... So, now Those monkeys, let's do it by yourself...

After returning to Veele with the help of the fleet left by the navy, the soldiers continued to snatch their wives in the villages near Veele City, and they jumped around again...

In order not to affect the residents of the Principality of Schleswig, Malin specially took the army to the northwest for a while and did not go directly south. Not until the soldiers had enough of the women did Marin head south from the west coast of Jutland towards Ribe.

Libe City had already belonged to Marin at this time, and belonged to the northern border of the Principality of Schleswig. The city was also stationed by Marin's original baggage unit. Marin returned with the army and was naturally warmly welcomed.

After entering the Principality of Schleswig, Marin divided thousands of troops and sent them to various places in the Principality of Schleswig to gather all the nobles, big and small, to the city of Schleswig to hold a meeting of all nobles to discuss major issues.

In fact, this important question is the question of whether those nobles are willing to serve themselves...

Right now, Marin divided the nobles of the Principality of Schleswig into three categories—the first category was those who resisted themselves to the death, such as the nobles in Aubenrow; the second category was those who surrendered and defeated. There are a lot of people, many more than the first category; the third category is the one who voluntarily surrendered.

For the first-class nobles, Marin is very rude. After the nobleman died in battle, Marin's opinion was that all his estates and properties were confiscated, and all his family members were punished as serfs. I was going to attack Zealand before, but I didn't have time to do it, but now I just do it.

As for the second type of nobles, Marin gave them the right to choose - either to leave the Duchy of Schleswig and sell the territory to Marin at a discount. Of course, this price is definitely not too high; either, stay and entrust the territory to Marin, who pays them about the same annual income according to their current harvest. Then, those nobles will be left by Marin and concentrated in the aristocratic community in the city, and Marin will build them luxurious entertainment venues for their enjoyment...

The third type of nobles, those who surrendered themselves, although they were not really good birds. However, Marin is now seriously short of manpower, so he can only win them over first. If you have talent, you can keep the territory and enter the government to hold public office. Those who have no talent and a bad reputation are treated like the second type of nobles, taking care of their manor and sending them to the city to enjoy themselves. Of course, if they were willing to give up their territories to Denmark, Marin would also pay for their land and property.

The attack on Denmark, Marin can be said to have made a fortune. No wonder, some countries are keen on war. It turned out that the war was won, and it was really rich.

If nothing else, it is said that in Copenhagen, Marin obtained various properties worth 1.3 million gold coins, and dug up the old bottom of Denmark as a pirate for hundreds of years. Of course, due to the rush of time, many hidden treasures may not be found. However, with this money alone, all of Marin's investment has paid off, and he has made a lot of money.

You know, throughout the war, although Marin dispatched a huge army,

But the total investment did not reach 500,000 gold coins. As for the cost of building the fleet, it was not built to attack Denmark, so it is not included in this cost...

This time, Marin captured many Danish cities, and the total value of the stolen property was estimated to be more than 2.5 million gold coins. It can be said that in this war, Marin earned several times... Counting the land allotted, it is even more incalculable...

Although the land of the Principality of Schleswig is relatively vast, it is not fertile. Therefore, even if all the land of those nobles were redeemed, it was estimated that it would only be a matter of several hundred thousand gold coins. For a moment, Marin really wanted to buy up all the nobles' lands and get them out of the way.

However, Marin finally endured...

why? Because Marin is a careerist, he did not attack only one place in the Principality of Schleswig. In the future, after the wings are full, it will definitely continue to expand.

If the affairs of the Principality of Schleswig were not handled properly and all the local nobles were unlucky, in the future, if Marin went to attack other countries, he would encounter the strongest resistance from the local nobles. Because, once the Marlins win, their good days are over...

Therefore, although Marin is not willing, he must leave some obedient nobles, give them benefits, and show them to others... This way, when the next time they attack another country, the nobles of that country will not resolutely resist. his army...

In addition, this time Marin planned to treat the nobles who belonged to the Germans well, and planned to expel those nobles from the Danes. The Principality of Schleswig is an ethnically mixed region. Most of the south is German and speaks German. And about one-third of the area in the north is the territory of the Danes, and the people there are all Danish-speaking.

Marin's plan was to unite the German aristocracy, exclude the Danish aristocracy, and turn the entire Principality of Schleswig into German territory.

Moreover, those Danish nobles, even if they were excluded, still had a place to go. They could have returned to the Danish-controlled area of ​​Jutland and would still be accepted by the Danes. Because they were originally Danish.

However, the German nobles in the Principality of Schleswig were different, they were Germans. Once you leave the Principality of Schleswig, it will be embarrassing. The original identity, other German countries may not be willing to recognize. If you go to Denmark, as a German, you are very likely to be excluded by the Danes.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, most of these German nobles will definitely choose to stay. Moreover, when Marin marched, the determination of the German nobles to resist was not as strong as those of the Danish nobles.

Marin decided to win over those German nobles who were willing to stay, and if they had the ability, to arrange public office. Those who are incapable, trust their land, do not reduce their income, and build entertainment venues for them in the city, so that they can be unrestrained.

Originally, Marin was scratching his head as to how the soldiers had taken their wives in Denmark and how Mao Mei of the Grand Duchy of Moscow arranged. However, he suddenly remembered that those Mao girls could be sent to the newly built sauna city to "rub the backs" of the captive nobles...

Also, those serfs, as long as they are honest and willing to work, those who don't have wives can also reward Sister Mao...

In addition, Marin will definitely recruit more new mercenaries in the future, and those new bachelor soldiers can also match them with a hair girl...
