Chapter 1353 House search

300,000 gold coins are really a slight idea for Marin. Not to mention raiding the houses of the eight vassal states, even now in Bremen to search the homes of those rebellious old nobles, they can take out more than 300,000 gold coins.

You should know that this time, there were as many as hundreds of old aristocratic families in Bremen that participated in the rebellion, occupying most of the aristocratic families in Bremen.

Even if each family can only find out the property of several thousand gold coins, hundreds of noble families can find out the property of hundreds of thousands of gold coins. But Marin estimated that this may not be the case. Because, no matter how many baron families have to have property worth tens of thousands of gold coins in their families, only those knight families will only have property worth thousands of gold coins...

Therefore, it was really just a matter of providing the emperor with another 300,000 gold coins. Maximilian I was probably clear, but if you search the two Brunswick Principalities, you might get hundreds of thousands of gold coins. Therefore, the lion dared to ask for another loan of 300,000 gold coins.

In fact, Marin asked the Habsburg family to hold back the coalition of princes, not because he was afraid that the coalition of princes would fight with him after he came back. But...

Marin actually planned to use this critical moment to force the alliance of princes to admit that he had annexed 8 princely states...

Generally speaking, even if Malin occupied 8 vassal states, the princes might not be willing to admit Malin's occupation of the 8 vassal states, and even if there is a duel letter, it would not work.

The princes could make excuses to deny the duel. For example, it was signed on the premise that Marin was dead...

In short, it is easy for Malin to occupy those eight vassal states, but it is difficult to gain recognition from the Imperial vassal court...

In particular, Brunswick - Duke of Lüneburg Henry, and the brother-in-law of Frederick III, the leader of the princes...

Therefore, Marin did not want to withdraw from Switzerland at this critical moment, and prevented him from occupying the eight vassal states. Although Marin was confident of defeating the other side, the princes would never be willing to. Moreover, they would never be willing to admit their occupation of the eight vassal states.

Therefore, Marin thought of a solution - first let the Habsburg family army drag down the coalition forces of the princes, and then first occupy 8 vassal states to create a certain fact. Then, he threatened the coalition forces of the princes, saying that he would send troops south to attack the Habsburg family and completely eliminate the coalition forces of the princes...

Although Marin could not really send troops to destroy the coalition forces of the princes, the princes didn't know. They would be really scared...

Because, if the coalition of princes is really defeated and a large number of princes are captured, then the princes will really find it difficult to stop the Habsburg family from unifying Germany...

At that time, these princes will have to compromise and pinch their noses to admit Marin's occupation of the eight vassal states. As long as the imperial court recognizes the legitimacy of the occupation of Marin's occupation of the eight vassal states, even if the princes repent in the future, Marin will not be afraid. Even he wishes that the princes will regret it, just so he will give him the opportunity to send troops...

Therefore, it is very important to let the Habsburg family drag down the coalition of princes. Those princes will not surrender if they are not allowed to be attacked.

What? You say French intervention?

Now King Louis XII of France has been completely fooled by the volcanic ash fertilizer and is doing its best to prepare for a new round of Italian hegemony. At this critical moment, the French cannot turn against Austria and the North Sea at the same time for the affairs of the German princes...

Why? Because of the battle for Italy, the French have to face the strong Spain head-on. Spain is so strong now that the French have to do their best to win. At this time, it is very unwise to provoke the Habsburg family and Marin's North Sea Kingdom. At most, they can only act and scare the Habsburg family and Marin, and will not really go all out to send troops to participate in the Swiss battle for hegemony.

As long as the French do not intervene fully, Marin has enough confidence to force the alliance of princes to submit. Then, it is how to gain the support of those church princes.

This is also easy. Most of the princes of the church are greedy for money. As long as they are willing to spend money and ask the Pope’s father-in-law to help and put pressure on them, they will not have to worry about no one supporting him...

...

After sending off the satisfied Emperor Qiangbi, Marin immediately led a large army out of Oldenburg City, heading to the eastern province of Bremen, and searching the house...

The betrayal of those hundred old nobles will not be forgiven. Marin was worried that there was no excuse to touch them, but unexpectedly, they actually raised their troops to rebel.

Generally speaking, the nobles who raise troops to rebel generally have a bad ending. At least, they are all a serious crime of beheading. Then, the family property is confiscated, which is also a basic operation. This is still in Europe. If it were in ancient China, it would be a serious crime of treason, but the nine clans would be punished!

Of course, Marin is now a European aristocrat and it is impossible for him to punish those aristocrats in accordance with the Chinese method. Anyway, killing the responsible person and then imprisoning his family will be almost the same.

The most important thing is that Marin can take back all the fiefs and manors of the 100 old nobles this time!

This is the fiefdom of 100 nobles! Even the smallest knight family, each of them has at least 1,000 acres of arable land. If there are hundreds of families, there will be at least 100,000 acres of arable land...

This is still the minimum value. If the Barons family are included... in short, the total arable land area confiscated this time is estimated to reach more than 500,000 mu...

These lands can be used to reward the new aristocratic class. Just so happened that Marin was planning to reward the new nobles who had achieved military achievements this time. So, the land has been vacated...

Of course, Marin has no intention of promoting new fertilizers in Bremen for the time being. Therefore, those reclaimed estates may be used to resettle old nobles from the eight captured vassal states...

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! For example, the seven captured princes are more suitable for placement in Bremen Province. Because it is convenient for control here...

...

When the army set off, Heinx "as soon as he came" to chase the Sixth Army, mainly the Scottish Highland Infantry. Just so happened that Marin let the Sixth Army act as the vanguard and drove all the way into Bremen to search the homes of those old nobles who participated in the rebellion...

An old aristocrat is an old aristocrat with a strong foundation...

At the beginning, in order to comply with the unspoken European rules, Marin did not dare to touch the old noble families who did not resist, but just replaced their territory and concentrated them to Bremen.

Therefore, Marin did not send anyone to search for the family of these old nobles. If it were in their original old manor, Marin would have been difficult to find those gold, silver and treasures that were made for their family.

However, after relocating to Bremen, the actions of these old nobles were actually under a certain degree of surveillance. In this way, those old nobles would leave clues to the point of building new treasure lands.

In addition, after experiencing the Battle of Siena, the soldiers of Marin had a lot of experience in finding a secret room for treasures.

For example, this time, the veterans under Marin who participated in the Siena House search operation found many treasure-hiding rooms behind the bookshelf of the new houses of the old nobles, behind the statues of the gods... and even near the toilet...

Then, a large amount of gold, silver and treasures were found. After a concentrated inventory, Marin was surprised to find that more than 100 rebellious old nobles actually hid gold, silver and treasures worth more than one million gold coins, and each family had tens of thousands of gold coins on average...

"It's really worthy of being an old aristocratic family, and the family is rich!" Marin said with a sound.
