Marin achieved his goal. So many people in the square witnessed the assassination of these family heirs, so he had a reason to do so. Then, a dozen banker families in the city of Siena were uprooted. Then, the savings of these families for hundreds of years were naturally embezzled by Marin.

Moreover, after eradicating these banker families, Marin publicized that he had only "taken over" the Siena Bank, and confiscated the properties of these dozen companies, with a total of more than one million florin gold coins (and ducats) gold coin equivalent). Moreover, wealth worth hundreds of thousands of florin gold coins was handed over to the Holy See.

Next, Marin sealed the documents of the Bank of Siena and left three thousand Frisian sailors stationed in Siena. And he himself led the army out of the south gate, and went to Rome with 5,000 Austrian soldiers and horses outside the south gate.

Of course, shortly after leaving the south gate, Marin sent 3,000 people to Grosseto to search the local wealth. In order to maximize the harvest, Marin transferred a group of officers experienced in searching the secret room. Grosseto is the second largest city in the Republic of Siena, and it is also a traffic hub. Although this city is definitely not as rich as Siena, where bankers gather, it is definitely richer than ordinary cities. Moreover, the city of Grosseto, like the city of Siena, has not experienced war for a long time, and its foundation is very solid.

However, General Ludwig, the general of the 5,000 Austrian troops stationed outside the south gate, expressed dissatisfaction with Marin's failure to open the south gate and let them enter the city to rob. It's just that Marin has 20,000 troops, which is not something he can fight, so he has to endure it.

But after arriving in Radicofani, General Ludwig immediately advanced in front of Maximilian I, saying that Marin did not take Maximilian I seriously and looted the rich city of Siena, forgetting the emperor people.

Of course, Maximilian I could not deny this. After all, he was considered one of the most capable emperors of the Habsburg family. If it weren't for being ignorant when he was young, he exposed his ambition to unify Germany prematurely, which aroused the opposition of the German princes, maybe he could really complete the unification of Germany. At least, more territory can be swallowed.

Marin did not let the Austrian army enter the city to participate in the robbery, and Maximilian I was indeed a little dissatisfied. However, Maximilian I also knew that the Austrian army was just showing off and did not really participate in the siege, and indeed there was no reason to enter the city to "pick peaches". Moreover, Marin is so strong, Maximilian I will never turn his face against Marin because of this matter. However, he still has his own plans

"What, borrow money?" Marin jumped up in shock. But he forgot that he was recuperating on the couch, so he accidentally pulled the knife wound on his butt

"Wow..." Marin almost cried out in pain.

"Yes, Marlin,

I heard that you robbed more than one million gold coins in Siena this time. How about lending me some? Don't worry, the interest is based on the market price, 10% annual interest. "Maximilian I said gently.

As the quasi-emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, Maximilian I was fairly well informed. Marin claimed that property worth more than one million gold coins was "confiscated" in Siena City, of which only 500,000 in cash, while the rest were cultural relics, works of art and other property. In this regard, Maximilian I did not believe it at all. Because, according to information, the total capital of the Bank of Siena alone has reached more than 1.5 million gold coins.

You ask how Maximilian I knew the total assets of the Bank of Siena? Because he also borrowed money from Siena Bank. Up to now, the Habsburg family still owes a debt of 60,000 gold coins to the Bank of Siena.

According to inferences, Maximilian I believes that, but in the vault of the Bank of Siena, it is estimated that there are at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins in cash. And the private collections of the wealthy families in the city are worth more than 200,000 gold coins. Therefore, Maximilian I estimated that Marin should have grabbed more than one million cash

Of course, poverty limited the imagination of the impoverished emperor. The city of Siena is not a poor place in the German region, and it has not experienced wars for hundreds of years, and its foundation is far beyond the imagination of Maximilian I. In fact, Marin grabbed cash worth more than 2.3 million gold coins, more than double what Maximilian I imagined. The main reason is that Marin taught his subordinates the means of finding the secret room, and robbed the hundreds of years of savings of the richest families in Siena. If it weren't for this, Marin wouldn't be scared to death.

Marin is very upset now, he almost forgot that Maximilian I, the quasi-emperor, is a famous poor emperor in Europe! According to historical records, this guy owed a lot of money to others in his later years, and ran to the city of Innsbruck, where he often stayed, to hide from debts. As a result, the city refused to open its gates. Then, he had to run to live in a country house. Soon, died of illness in a mountain hut

A majestic emperor was forced to hide everywhere due to debts, which shows that the money owed to others is definitely not a small amount. Therefore, he, the emperor, was poor all his life. It seems that the solvency is not good

Originally, with the help of Marin, Maximilian I's finances had turned around. However, probably because he was afraid that the Habsburg family would be too strong, Marin found Switzerland for the emperor to conquer. In the end, in order to cope with the war with the Swiss Resistance Army and the French, the Habsburg family's finances were in trouble again. No, Maximilian I came to borrow money with a thick face, and, as soon as he opened his mouth, he would borrow 500,000 Gold coins, which made Marin jump up in fright, and pulled the wound on his buttocks

"Your Majesty, you want too much, right? I only robbed so much money this time. You know, I dispatched an army of 25,000 this time, and the expenses are scary."

"I heard that you looted the vault of the Bank of Siena. As far as I know, the total share capital of the Bank of Siena has reached more than 1.5 million gold coins. Even if a lot of foreign debts are confiscated, there are still hundreds of thousands of cash in the vault. In addition to those stolen from the rich families in the city, there must be millions of gold coins in cash? I don’t want all of them, only half of them. Moreover, I don’t want them, but borrow them, and I pay interest. "Maximilian I said with a smile, piercing Marin's "lie".

"This..." Marin choked suddenly.

But Marin lowered his head, rolled his eyes, and quickly thought of the reason:

"Your Majesty, I did 'entrust' the treasury of the Bank of Siena, but the contents inside must be handed over to the Holy See. I can't decide whether to believe it or not. You can ask His Excellency the Pope."

Looking at Marin whose eyes rolled straight, Maximilian I also knew that it was not easy to borrow money. However, he sighed and went out first. After all, it will take a long time to get to Rome. Moreover, Marin will also attend his coronation ceremony in Rome.

But before arriving in Rome, Marin's ally brother, the future Pope Leo X, Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici, hurried to find Marin on horseback.

But after arriving at the carriage where Marin was, Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici looked around in a daze:

"Hey, where's my brother Marlin? Why don't you see anyone else?"

At this time, Marin's voice came from the side of the carriage:

"Brother Giovanni, I am in the carriage!"

There is no way, Marin's butt is hurt now, and he can't sit down. He can only lie on the floor of the car with a blanket under it. But through the windows outside the carriage, I really can't see the Marlins

"Oh, brother, what's wrong with you? Why are you lying in the carriage?" Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici was a little surprised.

"Oh, don't mention it, I got stabbed in the butt, I can't sit down, and I can't ride a horse"

"Oh heh heh, it's really unlucky." Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici couldn't help laughing, but quickly stopped.

Then, Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici said to Marin seriously:

"Brother, you made a big mistake this time!"

"Get into trouble? What's the matter?" Marin was a little strange.

"You robbed the vault of the Bank of Siena, right? You also killed more than a dozen banker families in Siena?" Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici asked back.

"What? Is there any big shot in these dozen families? Can't they be killed?" Marin asked curiously. As far as he knows, there aren't any big figures in these dozen or so families.

Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici waved his hand and said:

"It's a trivial matter whether you kill or not. The most important thing is that you robbed the Bank of Siena's treasury and caused the Bank of Siena to go bankrupt. But the problem is that dozens of cardinals in the Holy See are all in the Siena Bank. The Bank of Siena has deposits. If you let Siena Bank go bankrupt, doesn’t it mean that the deposits of dozens of cardinals have been wiped out? So, you have offended dozens of cardinals at once! You said , Is this a big disaster?"

Marin was stunned for a moment, thinking about it carefully, it really was. In other words, the money he swallowed from the bank was mostly money from the big bosses of the Holy See. Swallowing the money of these big guys, isn't it enmity with them? Even if his father-in-law is the Pope, he can't stand the grudge against dozens of cardinals.

"Do you want to return the money? Isn't my bank robbed for nothing?" Marin wanted to cry, but it was millions of gold coins.
