The Rise of the European Emperor

Although Frederick III was the "leading brother" of the princes, he was only the elder brother, not the boss of the princes. Therefore, he also has no right to sign directly on behalf of everyone.

Therefore, in order to implement these conditions, Marin still needs to cooperate with Frederick III to perform a good show and force the princes. When the princes were desperate, Frederick III "stood up" and talked with Marin on behalf of the princes. In this way, the princes will accept the terms negotiated by the two.

As for what play? It's very simple, it was Marin who brought people to the door to persecute those princes...

The princes are all arrogant masters and will not easily submit. Therefore, Marin had to drive them to a dead end and make them feel scared, so that they would bow their heads. Otherwise, these arrogant and arrogant princes will not be able to convince them of their mouths alone.

However, before raising troops south to intimidate the princes, Marin needs to call back his men scattered throughout the Alsace region...

...

It is necessary to point out that the Alsace region is not currently a whole, but divided into several parts. For example, the southern region of Alsace, currently under the control of the Habsburgs, is part of Upper Burgundy, the region of Franche-Comté.

The northern part belongs to the Free City of Strasbourg Empire, the Duchy of Lorraine and the Duchy of Württemberg (with only a small enclave).

There are about 300,000 to 400,000 people here, and there are 60,000 to 70,000 young adults. However, Marin had abducted more than 10,000 people before, enriching them into the First Army and Second Army.

However, after more than ten years of war, the more than 10,000 Alsatian veterans who followed Marin that year, there are only more than 7,000 healthy soldiers still serving. This was because Marin often won battles. If he kept losing battles, there would have been no more than ten thousand people left.

The reason why Marin stayed in Alsace this time was to let these veterans fool some fellow villagers to join the army.

Marin has heard of many cases of pyramid schemes in later generations. Those outlaws who engage in pyramid schemes are most likely to be from fellow villagers...

Of course, Marin didn't really let his subordinates go to the village, but just provided a way to survive. After all, people in this era are difficult to survive, and it is an extravagant hope to be able to eat and drink enough.

It is dangerous to go to the battlefield, but it is always better to be full than a big man who starves to death at home. Moreover, if you follow Marin, you will most likely win the battle. Winning a battle means having a high chance of surviving.

Moreover, the most important point is - to serve as a soldier for Marin, even if you die in battle, your family will be guaranteed!

Under normal circumstances, there are only a minority of those who dare to sacrifice their lives to serve as soldiers, and even in the military Germany, only a minority are willing to serve as soldiers.

However, Marin came by coincidence...

Before the arrival of the Marin army, the southern part of Alsace, that is, the part of the area under the jurisdiction of the Habsburg family, was robbed of grain by the allied forces of the princes after the autumn harvest. Therefore, the people in the southern part of Alsace can't live anymore...

If you can't find new food sources, you can be sure that many local people will not survive this winter.

Some people may say - you can wait for the imperial court to relieve disasters... Where were you in ancient China at that time? The grain output of ancient China was so much higher than that of Europe, and in the event of a famine, there may not be enough food for disaster relief.

In Europe, once there is a famine, you have to wait for death or fall into trouble... Do you want to wait for the government to provide relief? dreaming...

In particular, the current ruler of the southern region of Alsace is the impoverished emperor Maximilian I, and it is impossible to provide food for disaster relief.

Therefore, when Marin dispatched his soldiers to wear tall new clothes and carry a handful of silver coins in their pockets, they went around looking for relatives and friends to talk about old times (actually show off), which caused a huge sensation in the southern part of Alsace.

Thirty or forty thousand young adults in the southern part of Alsace suddenly saw a bright road—yes, I can serve as a soldier for food, and by the way, I can earn commissions to support my family...

Then, more than 20,000 young adults in southern Alsace,

Flock into Strasbourg to sign up for the army of the North Sea...

However, Marin's North Sea Army is not something that just anyone wants. First, the urbanites and gangsters are excluded. Then, fight. The officer in charge of the selection silently stared at the players who were competing with wooden sticks. The players worked hard. A lot of those who won were so happy that they thought they were accepted. In fact, they don't know - Beihai Kingdom chooses soldiers only for bravery, not for the level of force...

In this way, Marin finally selected only 6,000 people from more than 20,000 people, and added them to the aging First and Second Corps as new blood. Many veterans of the First and Second Corps will step back to the second line in the near future and become reservists, or school instructors and physical education teachers (Marin changed the physical education class of Beihaiguo School directly to military class, Sports are only part of it).

Of course, as for the 10,000 people who lost the election, Marin did not completely reject them. He said that if he really couldn't survive, he could choose to move his family to Beihai. As long as you bring your family to the recruiting station in Strasbourg and register, you can go to the North Sea Country through the Marin's post system. Along the way, those inns will provide basic food so that they can travel to Beihai Country smoothly. Of course, the Alsace region is on the Rhine River, and the North Sea Kingdom will regularly send ships to pick up people...

Although it is not good to dig the corner of Maximilian I in this way, Marin knew that Maximilian I was simply unable to provide relief to the victims. Instead of watching them starve to death, why not take them to Beihai Kingdom...

...

However, the influence of Marin's recruitment in the Alsace region seems to be a bit big. In addition to the Alsace region on the west bank of the Rhine where more than 20,000 young people signed up to join the army, there were also more than 20,000 people from the Counties of Baden on the east bank of the Rhine. join the army……

Like the southern region of Alsace, Baden County, after the autumn harvest this year, forced a wave of grain from the allied forces of the princes. The so-called "forced levy" is actually a robbery. Forcibly robbing food is more terrifying than expropriating food, because the army that robbed the food would not leave rations for the common people...

So, looking at it, it is difficult for the people of Baden County to survive this winter this year...

Exactly, I heard that Marin was recruiting troops in Strasbourg, the core city of the Alsace region in the west of the river. As a result, young people from Baden County, who were unwilling to starve to death like this, also found boats to cross the river and came to Strasbourg to sign up for the army...

After thinking about it, Marin agreed to select soldiers among the young people in Baden County.

However, the young people in Baden seem to be less brave than those in the Alsace region. Although more than 20,000 people also came, only 4,000 people were selected in the end. As for the remaining 10,000 people, Marin chose a few thousand people and allowed them to take the whole family to Beihai Kingdom. As for the others, no. However, Marin promised that a batch of food will be sent to the disaster relief after a while...

It's not that Marin doesn't want to immigrate more, he mainly considers that the Count of Baden is an Earl of Baden. If all the young and middle-aged people in Baden are poached, the impact will be very bad. Therefore, in the end, he only poached 10,000 young men from Baden County, including their families. Just like that, Marin was equivalent to digging tens of thousands of people away, and he had to cry Christopher I, Earl of Baden, to death.

So, Marin thought about compensating him with a batch of food to help him get through this difficult time. Anyway, after this catastrophe, the county of Baden couldn't provide food to help the victims. It is also mutually beneficial to exchange food for a group of people with him...

In this way, taking advantage of the opportunity of the local disaster, Marin recruited tens of thousands of new recruits and tens of thousands of civilians in the Alsace region and Baden County, making a lot of money...
