The Rise of the European Emperor

? 300,000 gold coins are really trivial to Marin. Not to mention going to the eight vassal states to raid their homes, even if they go to Bremen Province to raid the homes of those rebellious old-fashioned nobles, they can get far more than 300,000 gold coins.

You must know that this time, there are hundreds of old noble families in Bremen Province that participated in the rebellion, occupying most of the noble families in Bremen Province.

These noble families, even if each family can only check out the property of a few thousand gold coins, hundreds of noble families can also check out hundreds of thousands of gold coins. But Marin reckons it may be more than that. Because, for those baron families, there must be a property worth tens of thousands of gold coins at home. Only those knight families will only have property worth a few thousand gold coins...

Therefore, the matter of providing another 300,000 gold coins to the emperor is really just a trivial matter. And Maximilian I probably knew it too, but if he checked the two Brunswick duchies, he would probably get hundreds of thousands of gold coins. Therefore, he dared to open his mouth and asked for a loan of 300,000 gold coins.

In fact, Marin asked the Habsburg family to hold back the allied forces of the princes, not at all afraid that the combined forces of the princes would fight with him when they returned. Rather...

In fact, Marin intends to use this critical moment to force the alliance of princes to admit that it has annexed eight princely states...

Under normal circumstances, even if Marin occupied 8 vassal states, the princes would not be willing to admit Marin's occupation of the 8 vassal states, even if there was a duel book.

The princes can make excuses to deny the duel book. Like, it was signed on the premise that Marin was dead...

In a word, it is easy for Marin to occupy the 8 vassal states, but it is extremely difficult to obtain the recognition of the Imperial Prince Court...

In particular, Brunswick, Henry, Duke of Lüneburg, is also the brother-in-law of Frederick III, Elector of Saxony, the leader of the princes...

Therefore, Marin did not wish that at this juncture, the allied forces of the princes would withdraw from Switzerland and prevent him from occupying the eight princely states. Although Marin had the confidence to defeat each other, the princes would never be reconciled. Moreover, he would never be willing to admit his occupation of the 8 vassal states.

Therefore, Marin came up with a solution - first let the Habsburg family army hold back the allied forces of the princes, and then occupy the eight princely states by himself first, resulting in an established fact. Afterwards, he threatened the alliance of princes, saying that he would send troops to the south and the Habsburg family to attack them, and completely wipe out the alliance of princes...

Although Marin could not really send troops to destroy the allied forces of the princes, the princes did not know. They will be really intimidated...

because,

If the allied army of the princes is really defeated and a large number of princes are captured, then the princes will really be unable to stop the Habsburg family's unification of Germany...

At that time, these princes will have to compromise, pinching their noses and admitting Marin's occupation of the eight princely states. As long as the Court of Princes of the Empire recognizes the legitimacy of Marin's occupation of the eight vassal states, Marin will not be afraid even if the princes repent in the future. Even, he wished that the princes would go back on it, just in time, give him the opportunity to send troops...

Therefore, it is a very important part to let the Habsburg family hold back the allied forces of the princes. If the allied forces of the princes are not in danger of being pinched, those princes will not give in.

What? You mean French intervention?

Now the French King Louis XII has been completely fooled by the volcanic ash fertilizer, and is going all out to prepare for a new round of Italian hegemony war. At this juncture, it is impossible for the French to turn against Austria and the North Sea at the same time for the affairs of the German princes...

Why? Because of the hegemony of Italy, the French have to face the strong Spain. Spain is so strong now, the French must go all out to have a chance of victory. At this time, it is very unwise to provoke the Habsburg family and the North Sea country of Marin. At most, they will only pretend to scare the Habsburgs and Marin, and will not really go all out to send troops to participate in the Swiss hegemony.

As long as the French do not intervene fully, Marin is confident enough to force the alliance of princes into submission. Then, how to get the support of those church princes.

This is also easy, most of the church princes are greedy for money. As long as you are willing to spend money and ask the Pope's father-in-law to help put pressure on you, you won't have to worry about no one supporting...

...

After sending off the contented Emperor Qianbi, Marin immediately led his army out of Oldenburg City and headed to the eastern province of Bremen to raid his home...

The betrayal of the hundred old-fashioned nobles will not be forgiven. Marin was worried that he had no excuse to move them, but unexpectedly, they actually raised troops to rebel.

Generally speaking, nobles who raise troops to rebel will usually end badly. At the very least, it's a murderous crime. Then, the property is confiscated, which is also a basic operation. This is still in Europe, if it were in ancient China, it would be a big crime of treason, but it would punish the nine clans!

Of course, Marin is a European noble now, and it is impossible to punish those nobles in accordance with China's methods. Anyway, killing the responsible person and then imprisoning their family members is almost the same.

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

This is the fief of 100 nobles! Even the smallest knight family has at least one thousand and several hundred acres of arable land. If there are hundreds of families, there will be at least 100,000 mu of arable land...

This is still the minimum value. If you include those baron families... In short, the total arable land area confiscated this time is estimated to reach more than 50,000 to 600,000 mu...

These lands can be used to reward new nobles. Coincidentally, Marin is planning to reward those upstarts who have gained military exploits this time. No, the land is vacated...

Of course, Marin has no plans to promote the new fertilizer in Bremen for the time being. Therefore, those recovered manors may be used to house the captured old nobles of the eight vassal states...

For example, the captured seven princes are more suitable for placement in Bremen Province. Because it's easy to control here...

...

When the army set off, Heynckes "just happened" to catch up with the Sixth Army, which was dominated by Scottish Highland infantry. As it happened, Marin let the Sixth Army act as the vanguard and drove all the way into the province of Bremen to raid the homes of the veteran nobles who participated in the rebellion...

The old-fashioned aristocracy is the old-fashioned aristocracy, with a solid background...

At first, in order to comply with the unspoken rules of Europe, Marin did not dare to move the old noble families who did not resist, but just replaced their territories and placed them in the province of Bremen.

Therefore, Marin did not send someone to search for the wealth of these old-fashioned aristocrats. If it was in their original old manor, those gold and silver treasures that belonged to the family were really hard to find for Marin.

However, after relocating to Bremen Province, the actions of these veteran nobles were actually monitored to a certain extent. In this way, those old-fashioned nobles who want to build new treasures will leave clues.

In addition, after the Battle of Siena, Marin's soldiers have learned a lot about finding the secret room for treasure.

For example, this time, the veterans under Marin's command who participated in the raiding operation in Siena City found a lot of secret rooms with hidden treasures behind the bookshelves of the new houses of the old nobles, behind the statues... and even near the latrines...

Then, a lot of gold and silver treasures were confiscated. After the centralized inventory, Marin was surprised to find that these more than 100 rebellious veteran nobles actually hid gold and silver treasures worth more than one million gold coins, with an average of tens of thousands of gold coins per family...

"As expected of an old-fashioned aristocratic family, the family is rich!" Marin clicked his tongue.

It's no wonder that my D's army liked to fight the local tyrants and divide the fields, and the fields were distributed to the poor, which won the hearts and minds of the people and the source of soldiers. As for fighting local tyrants...you will definitely be able to save enough money for the military...especially the local tyrant families that have been inherited for a long time, their families must be very rich...
