Chapter 1351: Spit it out after eating mine
Looking at the soldiers cheering, Marin felt a little funny - this treatment can make you cheer, I really don’t pursue it...
But he didn't think about it - what era was this? This was an era when human life was like grass. Sometimes, many people worked hard in the army just to be able to eat and wear warmth.
Marin is a modern person and is always used to using modern people's thinking into thinking. In the 21st century, if you find a job, you will need five insurances and one fund. If you suffer an injury, the boss will probably have to pay a lot of money.
But that is modern! A modern that emphasizes human rights! But what era was the 16th century? Europe has just emerged from the barbaric medieval ages and has retained many barbaric traditions.
Why are mercenaries popular in this era of Europe? Because mercenaries do not need to be given pensions if they die! The nobles in this era are more stingy than the other. If the soldiers die, they will basically not receive any pensions. Only when the nobles die will they receive some compensation.
Therefore, can these soldiers from civilian origin not be moved to see that Marin cares about their lives so much?
...
Seeing that the soldiers of the Beihai Kingdom could get generous mercy when they died, the soldiers of the Eight-National Princes Alliance who were squatting on the side as prisoners of war were full of envy. They did not expect that there were such good nobles in this world who treated soldiers as humans...
As for the seven princes watching, they were full of disdain. They actually spent such a big price to pay for those humble servants. They were so full...
...
After Marin comforted his soldiers, he strode towards the seven captured princes. Before he could get closer, Henry, Duke of Wolfenbitel, shouted:
"Marlin, I ask for the treatment of aristocrats. Please send someone to Wolfenbitel, inform my son Henry, and ask him to redeem me and my officers with money!"
Even though he was captured, Henry, Duke of Wolfenbeetle, still looked down on Marin, who had "humble blood" and did not call Marin the Grand Duke at all, but called Marin the name directly.
Moreover, paying the ransom is not a big deal for Henry, Duke of Wolfenbitel. After all, he had previously snatched a lot of property from all over the North Sea Kingdom, with a total value of more than one million gold coins.
Therefore, he felt that since he was unfortunately defeated, he would just spit out what he had eaten before. Moreover, the ransom of a million gold coins was definitely high in Europe. Even if the King of England was caught by Emperor Henry VI of the Shenluo, he would have only paid 100,000 pounds. He, a prince, could pay 1 million gold coins, which was a premium.
But how could Marin agree to this? He used my money to pay the ransom? He didn't wake up?
So, Marin directly rejected him:
"I remember that both of us seemed to have agreed on a national duel in the Walms Empire Parliament. Now, you have lost this duel. So, your country is mine!" After saying that, Marin smiled proudly.
At this time, Henry, the Duke of Lüneburg, shouted:
"No, that doesn't count! At the beginning, it was your son Caesar who made a duel with us, not you! So, even if you defeated us, you are not the party and have no right to annex our country!"
The other six princes were covered in dust just now. After hearing the words of Henry, Duke of Lüneburg, Brunswick, he also shouted:
"Yes, you are not a duel! You defeat us, that doesn't count! We ask for redemption of ourselves!"
But Marin calmly took out the prepared duel statement and said:
"Let's open your eyes and look at it-the two sides of the duel written on it are Beihai and you vassal states. There is no special explanation for Caesar to confront you. So, I annex you, there is no problem!" After saying that, Marin laughed proudly.
The seven princes suddenly looked as if they were ashamed, but Brunswick - Duke of Wolfenbitel Henry said:
"Don't be so full! My son Henry is still in Wolfenbittle, and you may not be able to take Wolfenbittle. As long as we can hold on until Lord Frederick and the others return, how can you annex us?"
"Stand up? How can your son hold on? You have brought your elite troops to the Beihai Kingdom. There are only a few regular troops and a group of farmers at home. Just those people can prevent me from capturing Wolfenbittle? Don't think about it!" Marin said disdainfully.
"Hmph, my son has a lot of money. As long as he spends money, he can always hire enough mercenaries..."
"Now German mercenary veterans with some ability have employers!" Marin interrupted.
"So what? Anyway, it's just a defense. Even if you hire mercenaries and have a solid wall for your support, you will not be able to break it in a short time, and there is no problem until Lord Frederick and the others come back! I forgot to tell you that our Brunswick--the Duchy of Wolfenbitel is not short of money, and the four gates are all pure iron gates. No matter how many artillery you have, you can't get the iron gate!" After that, Brunswick--Henry Duke of Wolfenbitel was proud.
Marin smiled mysteriously:
"Iron City Gate is right? It doesn't matter, I have a way to deal with the Iron Gate..." He had Royal Shui in his hand, and was still afraid of the Iron Gate?
After a pause, Marin suddenly shouted:
"You fucking said that your son has money. Most of the money was stolen from Beihai Country, right? You dare to take advantage of me, are you tired of living? Tell you, I spit it out after eating mine..."
But after drinking here, a lyrics suddenly popped up in Marin's mind like a nonsense—
"Please take mine and send it back to me,
I vomited it out after eating mine
...
Hey swish swish,
Hey swish swish
Oh oh (second tone)——”
Marlin suddenly had a black line, and Da Zhangwei's "Great Teacher" Shamatt's look suddenly floated across his mind, and it was accompanied by
The crow's screams...
"Well, I spit it out after eating mine!" Marin repeated again, then floated away, trying to expel the image of "big teacher" who killed Matt in his mind...
When Marin left, Henry, the Duke of Lüneburg, shouted:
"If you know the truth, let me go, my brother-in-law will come to save me!" His brother-in-law was naturally Frederick III, the leader of the princes...
...
Duke Henry's threat did not scare Marin, but reminded Marin that the alliance of princes is indeed a problem...
So Marin called Schwartz and ordered:
"You send someone to Switzerland and ask Frenzberg to launch an attack on the initiative. Be sure to hold back the coalition forces of the princes and not let them come back!"
Marin now has only more than 20,000 people, and he is busy dividing his troops to occupy the eight vassal states. He does not want to meet the vassal coalition immediately. Although the vassal coalition only has tens of thousands, if he is angry, he can still gather a 100,000 army. Moreover, if the vassal coalition invites the French, Marin may not be able to bear it. Therefore, it is best to let the Habsburg family's army entangle the vassal coalition and not give them a chance to cause trouble for themselves.
Schwartz hesitated and said:
"But Frenzberg has no right to decide on such a big thing..."
"Then let's find His Majesty the Emperor. Anyway, he is in Innsbruck, not far from Switzerland!"
"Then what conditions do we offer?"
Marin thought for a while and said:
"I'll give him the loan debt of the 300,000-yuan bank!"
300,000 gold coins are much more money than the emperor, but for the rich Marin, it is not a big deal. If we can annex the eight vassal states, especially the richest Duchy of Brunswick-Wolfenbitel and Brunswick-Lüneburg, the silver mines in Goslar and the salt mines in Lüneburg alone will be far more than 300,000 gold coins.
