Marin was also generous to this blacksmith apprentice who was willing to defect to him. With a wave of his hand, he directly gave him a shilling of a high-level craftsman every day, which was 6 times the daily salary of an ordinary person and two or three times that of an ordinary craftsman.

Moreover, Marin was willing to advance funds to let Gott move his whole family to Beihai Kingdom. The task given to him was to study how to improve the musket. If there were any improvement results, Marin would not be stingy with generous rewards...

After the news came out, the craftsmen in Nuremberg were all excited. They saw Marin's attention to craftsmen, and then a group of craftsmen came to the luxury hotel where Marin lived and recommended themselves, hoping to be favored by Marin and go to Beihai to get a high salary. Of course, these are mostly young craftsmen. Or, the shops are not well managed. If the industry tycoon earns a lot of their own shops, they will not be interested in a daily salary of 1 shilling. After all, the money earns more than this one. Of course, the premise is that the shops are good enough.

In the end, Marin chose five blacksmiths in Nuremberg who were good at making muskets, two blacksmiths who were good at casting cannons, and one watchmaker who was good at making clocks.

...

Just when Marin ran to Nuremberg to recruit craftsmen, the Principal of Württemberg also underwent drastic changes. After Marin and his group left the Principal of Württemberg for Nuremberg, Ulrich, Duke of Württemberg, officially turned against each other, saying that the previous behavior of the peasant uprising army forcing the duke was illegal, unreasonable, and a threat of violence. Therefore, Duke Ulrich announced that he would tore up all previous "humiliation promises" and restore the previous tax revenue... In order to appear reasonable, he also publicly revoked the position of the official who had previously negotiated with the peasants, and said that he had no idea about the previous negotiation compromise...

His decision immediately angered the peasants and the citizens. So, the knife caster Kasbar began to call on all members of the "poor Conrad" to launch an armed uprising and force the Duke of Ulrich to submit...

However, for safety, the Duke of Württemberg sent a large number of troops to guard the city of Stuttgart and the palace in the city before announcing the abolition of the previous agreement.

Therefore, the citizen uprising led by Kasbar in the city was quickly suppressed. Even Kasbar and a bunch of his backbone were almost arrested.

In fact, Duke Ulrich's men had long noticed Kasbar's movements. Moreover, several loyal subordinates of Ulrich also mingled with Kasbar. If it were not for the intention of using Kasbar and others to destroy the opposition nobles, Kasbar and others should have been killed at this time.

But in order to make trouble outside the city, Duke Ulrich sent the loyal subordinates of the "Poor Conrad" organization to pretend to escort Kasbar and others, "fight out a bloody road" and rushed out of the city...

Through this "fight", Duke Ulrich sent several samurai undercover soldiers to be undercover and successfully gained the trust of Kasbar and got into the core circle of "poor Conrad". Because he was more capable of fighting, the few people who called himself "heroes" became important guards around Kasbar.

After escaping from the city, Kasbar brought his core team to an inconspicuous small manor outside the city and contacted the core representatives of the "Poor Conrad" organization in the countryside.

In the following days, the country representatives of the "Poor Conrad" organization contacted members from all over the country, gathered seven or eight thousand farmers again, and began the second uprising.

Kasbar led 8,000 peasants, holding various weapons, and surrounded Stuttgart in a fierce manner. However, Stuttgart was already on high alert at this time. The three thousand defenders faced the eight thousand peasant uprising army and had the advantage of the wall, which left the peasant uprising army helpless.

Moreover, the citizens who had revolted in the city were also resolved by Duke Ulrich. Of course, it was not suppressed, but negotiated settlement. Duke Ulrich was reluctant to kill or sell those citizens. After all, the citizens in the city who were mainly handicraftsmen were important sources of taxation. Because the goods made by handicraftsmen were taxed when they were sold. The farmers, except for the serfs in their own territory, basically did not pay taxes.

Therefore, Duke Ulrich, who originally planned to cheat the peasants, lightly let go of the citizens of the Stuttgart riots and promised not to increase the tax on the citizens. Then, the short-sighted citizen class decisively abandoned the peasant brothers and became obedient to the people with peace of mind.

The "poor Conrad" peasant uprising army attacked the city for a few days, but they were not able to make progress. After all, the three thousand mercenaries were not decorations. Even if they faced a head-on battle, three thousand mercenaries could defeat the eight thousand peasant army.

After losing hundreds of people, Kasbar suddenly discovered that it seemed that the food they brought was going to be exhausted...

At this time, Duke Ulrich sent the undercover leader Wolf (pseudonym Henry) who lurked beside Casbar and suggested:

"Chief, since Stuttgart is difficult to conquer and now there is a shortage of food, we might as well go to attack the manors of those nobles first!"

"The noble man's manor? Why? Henry!"

"The nobles have a lot of food in the manors! Moreover, there are war horses and armor in the houses of the nobles, including many weapons. Leader, you see, our peasants and soldiers are holding simple weapons such as hoes. If those manors are captured, will the weapons in the arsenal of the nobles be ours? Once we have those weapons and armor and war horses, our combat effectiveness will be greatly enhanced! At that time, even if Duke Ulrich sends troops to suppress them, we can defeat them. If we can defeat the Duke's army in the wild, it is not easier than attacking a strong city like Stuttgart?"

When Kasbar heard this, he felt it made sense. But he still had some concerns:

"But, I heard that the defense power of those noble manors is still very tight. Will the losses be too great when attacking those noble manors?"

Wolf smiled:

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! "Chief, don't you know? It is said that Duke Ulrich mobilized many noble private soldiers to the city some time ago, and he was probably ready to suppress us. Now, most of the noble private soldiers are in the city. And those noble manors outside the city are empty at this time! Moreover, we have 7,000 people. At that time, we will attack those noble manors without private soldiers. We will not be able to capture those noble manors. We will take those manors, and we can get gold, silver and treasures, and we can eat fine wine and meat! Even the noble lady...hehe..."

Under Wolf's temptation, Casbar immediately made up his mind:

"Okay, we've done it! So, where will we go first?"

沃尔夫假装想了想,道:

"My brother Charlie (also a pseudonym) was in charge of inquiring about the news in the tavern next to the military camp in the city. He heard that many reinforcements were sent by the manors. As long as we follow the list of soldiers sent to the city, we can easily conquer those manors without guards. At that time, the leader, you should give us some more wine and meat! Also, those noble ladies, or young ladies...hehe..."

As Kasbar listened, he began to drool. So he ordered:

“那还等什么?带路吧!”

但沃尔夫却摇了摇头:

"We cannot retreat casually. If we retreat now, Duke Ulrich will definitely send troops to pursue him. So..."

"So what?" Casbar is a blacksmith, how could he understand this? Henry (Wolf).

"Let's get an ambush! Tonight, we retreated overnight and retreated to the southwest of Fainen Manor. There is a valley road there. As long as we set up ambush on both sides of the valley, we can defeat it and even destroy it..."
