The Rise of the European Emperor

Under normal circumstances, the lord Duke Ulrich cannot arbitrarily arrest the people under his rule. Unless, those people break the law or resist taxes. Generally speaking, most of the peasants arrested in this era were because of tax resistance. After all, the nobles were poor, and the serfs were even poorer.

Of course, the nobles also have the right to arrest those peasants who dare to rebel. Even, they can be hanged. But Europe has no precedent for killing all the insurgents. At most, the leading group will be hanged or burned to death. As for most of the people who followed the rebellion, they were generally either not exiled, or were fined a lot of money. As for confiscation of all property or something, that is a basic operation. As for killing all of them like Bai Qi, it is unlikely. Even the unscrupulous ancient China, Bai Qi's behavior is condemned.

What's more, in Christian teaching, forgiveness is an important basic principle. But the nobles also have their own way - I can't kill those who accompanied the rebellion, but I can exile them!

The most brutal monarch in Europe in later generations, the Tsar, especially liked to exile his opponents to the extremely cold Siberia, leaving them on the verge of freezing to death. Later, the Soviet Union also inherited this policy, and a large number of prisoners were exiled to Siberia, even the last Tsar's family was among them.

Of course, the British did the same. Back then, after the British occupied the east coast of North America, they also regarded North America as a place of exile. The first immigrants to North America consisted of Puritans and exiles. Because they themselves are descendants of rebelliousness, the old and beautiful people of later generations are very rebellious and perverse...

But for the German princes, it seems unlikely that they want to exile prisoners. Because everyone's territory is very small, there is really no barren land where prisoners can be exiled. Even, the peasant uprisings one after another, because the land is not enough, where is there room for exile prisoners? While staying in the country, there is no extra land to distribute to them...

Therefore, before Marin wanted to buy those peasant rebel prisoners of war, several lords of Bryschgau were actually very troubled with the disposal of those peasant prisoners of war. So, they wanted to secretly sell people to Marin.

But selling people is illegal, and it will be bad luck if it spreads. Fortunately, Marin has a lot of knowledge, and immediately came up with an excuse to "exile on his behalf", and solved all the problems.

Moreover, exiling those rebels to the wild continent where "poisonous snakes, poisonous mosquitoes and wild beasts are rampant" is also a deterrent to the peasants who dare to participate in the uprising.

According to the scale of the previous peasant riots, about 8,000 prime-age peasants participated in the riots. If the army is mobilized to wipe them out, they can get less than 8,000 prisoners of war. But Marin's appetite is great, and Duke Ulrich is also not satisfied with such a "commodity".

Therefore, according to the characteristics of the peasant rebels who like to coddle the peasants wherever they pass by, Marin helped Duke Ulrich to formulate a poisonous plan of "drawing disasters to the east" and "borrowing a knife to kill."

The so-called "catastrophe" is to use the method of blocking and driving to drive the peasant rebel army to the place where the planners want them to go. As long as it's not in their own territory, they can do whatever they want.

And "borrowing a knife to kill people" is even more terrifying. These peasant rebels are not gentlemen who understand etiquette, but robbery bandits everywhere. Once they are driven to certain estates, looting the estates for food and wealth is a basic operation. Even the owner of the estate could be killed.

Once the small nobleman who was the owner of the manor was killed, then Duke Ulrich, who was the monarch of the vassal state, had a reason to take the manor as his own.

In this way, when the peasant uprising is quelled, Duke Ulrich can make a fortune by taking back many of the estates of his dead master.

Moreover, all the property seized by the peasant uprising army before will also be seized by the army of Duke Ulrich. Except for a small part to be given to the soldiers of the army, most of it is also owned by Duke Ulrich.

Therefore, this peasant uprising, if Duke Ulrich operates well, can make a huge fortune.

Duke Ulrich was obviously aware of this, so he was so excited after Kohler explained it to him.

In the end, however, he still had little confidence in how to get the peasant rebel army to flow according to his settings. After all, you first have to fend off the attack of the peasant rebel army. If it can't be stopped, the peasant army will go wherever it wants, and maybe it will specifically harm Ulrich's own fief manor. If you are not careful, this matter may be played out, and then you will kill yourself.

Fortunately, Kohler made a statement on behalf of Marin, expressing his willingness to send 7,000 mercenaries to settle in the Principality of Württemberg as ordinary mercenaries. Then, defensive fortresses were built on the borders of the Duke Ulrich's own fief to prevent the peasant rebel army from flowing into the Duke's own fief. Of course, the interests of the nobles under the duke's cronies must also be taken into account. Then, as for the interests of other nobles, Duke Ulrich said - I'll let him die...

Moreover, the more unlucky the nobles who are not on his way with him, the happier he will be. Because, in the end, most of the profits lost by those unfortunate nobles belonged to him...

After the two sides reached an agreement, Kohler rushed back without stopping.

According to the agreement reached by the two parties, after Kohler returns, he will send 7,000 elite soldiers to build a bunker similar to a noble artillery tower in the border area of ​​Duke Ulrich's fief to guard the safety of the Duke's private domain. Of course, some people will help guard the fiefs of the duke's close ministers and the nobles who support the duke.

At the same time, Duke Ulrich will also organize his own nobles to gather troops and horses in the territory to drive out the peasant rebels according to the plan. Caused the peasant rebel army to flow along the route set by him, and harmed the territories of the nobles who were not on the same path as the duke...

In the end, the ending was that the peasant army followed the route predetermined by the duke and scourged the minor nobles and landlords along the way, but in the end it was "blackened" by the Duke of Ulrich. And Marin got tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people as he wished for the development of American colonies.

According to Marin's estimation, after this uprising, he will be able to get at least tens of thousands of immigrants. With these people, he's not just developing that land in the state of New Jersey. He can completely expand westward and inland, and he can also establish colonies in other coastal areas.

However, in order to prevent the colony from being interfered by others, Marin prefers to place these tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of immigrants on the coastal front line, so as to achieve the purpose of completely controlling the eastern coast of the United States in future generations, and not to give other countries a chance to find a needle.

But the North American colony was so large that tens of thousands of people couldn't make any waves. So, Marin made up his mind - no matter what, he would find a way to get away hundreds of thousands of people from the Principality of Württemberg, even at a high price.

But as soon as he made up his mind, he realized a serious problem - it seems that he is running out of money...

Of course, that's not to say Marin is poor. Marin is very rich, but most of his property exists in the form of grain and liquor. Marin wanted to sell all these possessions for cash. However, the amount of gold and silver in Europe is limited, and a lot of money is spent every year to purchase Indian spices and various other Middle Eastern goods. So, Europe is in a money shortage right now. Likewise, Marin is in a money crunch right now.

Just like the purchase of population this time, although Marin only needs to pay less than half of the cash, the rest is offset with food and other goods. But if the total population reaches one hundred thousand, the total transaction volume may reach one hundred thousand gold coins. Even if less than half of it needs to be paid in cash, it would still be hundreds of thousands of gold coins in cash...

To tell the truth, Marin is not unable to come up with so much money. However, after taking out the money, there is not much cash in his hand. As a big country with more than 2 million people, the Grand Duchy of Beihai has no money in its hands? So, Marin felt—what a shortage of money...
