Seeing Marin's bewildered look, Kahn patted Marin's shoulder thousands of times and said:

"Master, wake up!"

Marin finally woke up, and then laughed loudly, saying:

"Little ones, go to work, and take all these gold coins, gold bricks, silver bars and silver coins and go!"

Then, Marin glanced at the ground again, and said:

"Well, you can pick up those copper coins on the ground! However, if it is found that someone has hidden gold and silver coins privately, they will be dealt with by military law! Also, copper coins are only allowed to be put in the pockets of clothes, not in sacks!"

"Understood!" The soldiers who followed into the vault shouted excitedly.

Unlike the German region, southern European countries such as Italy and Spain have copper coins. The reason why there are copper coins is because the commerce in Italy is developed. Silver coins could no longer meet the needs of trade, and copper coins came into being. However, the economy in the German region is backward, and the demand for currency is not large. The smallest currency unit is only the small silver coin of Finney. Although the silver content of Finney's small silver coins minted by some princes is very low, almost close to copper coins, there are no pure copper coins after all. On the Italian side, copper coins suitable for small transactions have appeared. And Spain, which has a deep connection with Italy, also has copper coins.

According to the normal exchange ratio, generally one silver coin can be exchanged for 12 small copper coins. But because the silver content of silver coins in Italy is too low, they are close to copper coins. Therefore, under normal circumstances, one small silver coin can be exchanged for three or four small copper coins or one or two double-weight large copper coins.

Therefore, copper coins are actually quite valuable at present. A handful of copper coins can be exchanged for a handful of less pure silver coins.

However, Marin did not allow them to use another bag, only to put it in the pocket of the clothes. Now, many soldiers with fewer pockets on their clothes are about to cry—Nimma, I knew I would wear clothes with more pockets today...

After picking up almost all the copper coins scattered on the ground, these guys started to help Marin move those gold bricks, silver bars, gold coins and silver coins...

However, there were only more than a hundred soldiers who followed them into the vault. The soldiers outside the gate saw their colleagues' pockets full of copper coins, and their eyes were red with envy.

Marin laughed and said:

"What are you worried about? When things are over here, you can go to those shops and rich people's homes to search for 'recalcitrant elements'..."

These veterans immediately understood,

They all cheered, Marin promised them to rob...

Of course, even if it is robbed, there are rules in the Marin army-gold must not be kept privately, and must be handed over. You can't keep too many silver coins privately, there is a limit, copper coins are free...

Also, don't kill or rape women indiscriminately. Even a bachelor can only attack unmarried women. What's more, it's not messing around, but forcing a marriage proposal and marrying back as a wife.

The so-called compulsory marriage proposal means regardless of whether the woman's parents object or not. As long as the girl is not yet married, the soldiers can force her to marry her back. However, "betrothal money" needs to be paid to the woman's family to show "fairness".

Because there is a chance to grab his wife, the bachelor soldiers under Marin's command are very enthusiastic every time they go to war. Because, any beautiful girl in the occupied area they like can be picked up and run away. Sometimes, the logistics department will even help advance the "betrothal gift money" and write a note to prove that "both parties agree with each other"...

Of course, it wouldn't be a loss if an ordinary rural girl was snatched by these big soldiers to become his wife. Because these soldiers, Marin, were treated well. After retiring from the army, he will be arranged to be the leader of the manor, so life is absolutely worry-free. Even if they die in battle, their families will be properly taken care of.

However, the ladies from rich families suffered. Her family was originally from a wealthy family, and she will marry into a wealthy family in the future. If you are unfortunately robbed by this group of vulgar big-headed soldiers, you will cry to death...

Fortunately, Marin forbade his soldiers to rob the noble lady, otherwise, he would definitely be accused. As for those rich ladies who were robbed, they will not touch the nerves of the dignitaries of various countries. After all, once the war breaks out, the rich will be robbed and become poor. Only the noble class is an existence that cannot be tampered with.

It's not that the noble family won't let them move, but that Marin will let his subordinates not offend the noble family when they rob the noble mansion. But property or something is definitely not welcome.

...

Just as Marin led people to move the gold bricks, silver bars, gold coins, and silver coins in the vault to the outside of the Siena Bank building, Cage also escorted the officials of the Governor's Palace out.

The governor of Siena, Pandolfo Petrucci, who was escorted to the front, saw the boxes being moved out of the bank, and his face changed drastically...

The Petrucci family is also one of the shareholders of the Bank of Siena. As the patriarch of the Petrucci family and the governor of Siena, how could Pandolf Petrucci not know that Marin robbed the Siena Bank. So he shouted angrily:

"You robber, how dare you do this?"

Marin dug his ears indifferently, and said:

"Please, this is war! Don't you generally do this? You should be grateful, because our army from the North Sea State will not harm the people of Siena, but only for some benefits. If other troops invade Siena, It is estimated that many people will be killed. Also, if you don’t want too many casualties in Siena, quickly order to stop the resistance! If you are willing to cooperate, when my soldiers search your mansion, I will leave you Give enough money to subsidize the family. If you don't cooperate, I can't guarantee what those soldiers will do. I heard that your two daughters are very beautiful... huh..."

"How dare you? Didn't your soldiers not rape women? Also, they are noble ladies, and they should not be offended!" Petrucci said in horror.

"Who said I'm going to let someone rape your daughter? My soldiers really wouldn't do that. But, you know, many of my soldiers can't marry wives, so you can hire your daughter as a wife! You Don't worry, some of my soldiers are indeed ugly, and their families are poor, and there may be some missing arms and legs... But, they will sincerely treat your daughter well..." Marin smiled and said to Pandolph Peter Lu Qi bared a mouthful of white teeth.

"No, you can't do this!" Pandolf Petrucci trembled at the thought that his two beautiful daughters might be snatched away by ugly men with missing arms and legs to become village wives. For him, this is even more terrifying than those big soldiers raped his daughter.

Europeans don't care about fame, and second-married aristocratic daughters are still wanted, so it's no big problem to be raped overnight. But if you are forced to marry a poor ghost with missing arms and legs, then the problem will be serious. Because, in European religious regulations, married women are not allowed to divorce easily. Divorce is not possible unless the Pope grants permission. The Republic of Siena and the Holy See are sworn enemies, and it is impossible for the Holy See to make a judgment in favor of the Petrucci family. Therefore, if Marin's armless and legless poor ghost soldiers really snatched her into marriage, then she would be in big trouble...

"Think about it, this place will belong to the Holy See in the future. If we cooperate now, the Petrucci family can still maintain their wealth. Otherwise...hehe..."

"Okay, I will cooperate with you..." After struggling for a while, Pandolf Petrucci finally gave in...

In fact, there was nothing he could do if he didn't give in at the moment. Because the city of Siena has already been breached, and it will be a matter of time before it is fully occupied. Marin only asked him to cooperate in order to reduce the casualties caused by the opponent's fierce resistance. Otherwise, it takes a little time to occupy the whole city.

After Pandolf Petrucci agreed to cooperate, Kahn immediately took him to the north street to shout and order the defenders to stop resisting.

The defending officers who were still resisting saw that the governor had been captured and ordered them to surrender. When it was useless to resist, the officers on the street immediately led their troops to surrender when they saw that there were steps to go down...

Afterwards, the defenders of the northwest gate and south gate also surrendered like this...

However, Marin kept an eye out. In order to prevent the Austrian army outside the south gate from coming in to participate in the robbery, Marin did not let the south gate be opened immediately, but let the surrendered south gate defenders stand by.

Then, Marin began to let his soldiers take turns to go to the shops in the city and the homes of the rich to "search for the recalcitrants." And myself, with the gold and silver looted from the Siena Bank, found a yard to settle in, and arranged reliable soldiers to protect it closely...
