The Rise of the European Emperor

For a moment, Marin wanted to follow Ottoman Turkey's "blood tribute" system and plunder European white boys other than Germans. Or, spend a lot of money to buy children from the Turks in the Balkans, and then raise them to be Catholics who only speak German...

However, thinking of the tragic scenes of mother and child separation described by a certain Nobel Prize-winning writer in later generations, Marin suddenly couldn't bear it. In the article, when the Turks savagely snatched children from the women of the Balkans, the distressed mothers could not help but shout:

"Laday, my son, don't forget your mother!"

"Ilya! Ilya! Ilya!" Another Serbian woman desperately looked for her son with her eyes, trying to remember what he looked like...

However, these grieving mothers do not know that when these children are taken to Istanbul, they will be circumcised, converted from the Orthodox Church to Islam, and brainwashed to forget the past. When they returned to Europe, they turned into ruthless executioners who raised butcher knives against their compatriots...

Thinking of this, Marin gave up his plan to go to the Balkans and the Turks to snatch the "blood tribute". However, Marin did not completely give up on this path. For example, on the Crimea side, anyway, they plundered all the Rus people. Among them, there are children.

Therefore, even if Marin doesn't buy those little boys and girls, they will be bought by Turks who like to buy slaves. Therefore, Marin made up his mind to take all the plundered children of the Crimeans, regardless of gender. As long as he is healthy, he wants it all. Anyway, this kind of transaction is not expensive, Marin does not need to use cash, as long as enough spirits are given, enough children can be exchanged.

Rather than letting those Maozi children become killers or playthings of the Turks, it is better to let Marin buy them and educate them into Germanized farmers. After all, the development of the Americas is too short of people...

...

In addition, Marin also decided to accept the tens of thousands of Hungarian prisoners of war. As long as they are honest and willing to learn German and integrate into Beihai society, Marin intends to give them the status of ordinary citizens. Of course, Marin will definitely not allow them to gather together, but will disperse them all over the North Sea State. Once they cannot form a cluster, they cannot preserve their traditions and have to integrate into the society of the North Sea State.

Moreover, the Germanization of the Kingdom of Hungary itself is relatively serious. Although the Germanization of ordinary Magyars may be relatively light, the Germanization of Hungarian nobles is very heavy. Since being defeated by Otto the Great, the Magyars have learned from the Germans, settled down, and started farming. Many Hungarian nobles have changed from tribal leaders to German lords and accepted German culture. Therefore, it is not too difficult to manage those Hungarian prisoners of war with German culture. Because, in their own country, they are used to the rule of this German aristocrat.

The only problem is probably the language problem. Regarding this point, Marin had already thought of a countermeasure and sent all the Hungarian prisoners of war to the mines in Goslar to mine. Then, every night someone was sent to teach them German. Moreover, it is strictly stipulated that whoever has learned German can leave the dangerous mine and become a comfortable farmer. If you can't learn it, you will continue to stay in the mine and risk your life...

Under the intense stimulation that is a matter of life and death, they don't worry about their German learning...

...

Just when Marin was racking his brains and worrying about the population, time entered June. At this time, far in the south of Italy, in the city of Naples, an important military meeting is going on...

"Have you found out? Is the Spanish army fighting fiercely now?" Louis XII asked seriously.

Earl Duarte, who is in charge of intelligence work, nodded seriously:

"Yes, Your Majesty, in the past two months, in the Spanish camp outside the city, five high-ranking Spanish nobles are about to fight for the control of tens of thousands of troops!"

Louis XII said happily:

"Is it really that intense?"

Earl Duert nodded seriously:

"It's so intense!"

"Tell me in detail..." Louis XII and several other French nobles looked at Count Duert expectantly.

Earl Duarte took out a paper full of information and read:

"During the past two months in the Spanish camp, Duke Cabrera and Duke Domingo kept recruiting middle and senior officers in the army in order to compete for the dominance of the army. At the same time, they also recruited the three counts who served as adjutants, Earl Emene, Count Scudo and Count Lopez."

"However, the three earls seem to have other plans. They can't compete with the two dukes, and they can't get their hands on the supreme command. However, the three of them formed a small group and are also recruiting officers to increase their voice in the army..."

"Now, as long as the Spanish army holds a military meeting, the scene will be extremely hot. It is said that as long as one of the two dukes proposes a certain idea, the other will inevitably bring a group of officers who have defected to him to strongly oppose it, no matter right or wrong. And the three The Earl, with the group of people they recruited, stood on the wall to watch the show..."

...

Louis XII was taken aback after hearing this:

"Is it all serious?"

Earl Duert nodded solemnly...

At this moment, John Lafite stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, this is our great opportunity!"

Charlie, the former Duke of Guedes and now the Earl of Nantes, also nodded in agreement:

"It's indeed a good opportunity. At this time, the chances of winning are great. Besides, we don't have much food..."

...

The Spaniard's judgment was not all nonsense. The French had tens of thousands of troops in the city, and a lot of food consumption was equivalent to five strong men's war horses. Naturally, the food consumption was extremely alarming. Even if the French were fully prepared and drove away all the original residents in the city, the speed of food consumption was still astonishing, somewhat exceeding expectations.

According to the estimates of the quartermaster, there will be at most one and a half months before the food supply of the French army will bottom out. At that time, if you don't break through, you will die...

The main difference between the Spaniards' estimates and the French's is the number of people. The Spaniards believed that the 50,000 to 60,000 French troops brought at least 30,000 to 40,000 civilians in the city. But in fact, Louis XII followed John Lafite's suggestion and left only ten thousand people to assist the guards, so the food consumption was much lower than the Spaniards estimated.

According to the Spaniard's prediction, the French should start to run out of food at this moment. Therefore, in the past few days, the theme of the quarrel in the Spanish camp is to strengthen defenses to prevent the French army from risking their lives to break through. It's just that many things have been delayed because of the factional disputes are too intense.

However, at the insistence of Duke Domingo, the Spanish army dug more than a dozen trenches in the open space north of Naples, but did not send large troops to garrison them. The main thing is to prevent the French cavalry from breaking through and heading north.

These dozens of trenches are filled with wooden pickets. Once the French forcefully broke through, the cavalry could easily fall into the trench. Then, the horse was pierced through the abdomen...

...

However, the Spaniards didn't know that the French planned to break through with the whole army this time. In order to break through the blockade of these trenches, the French dug up a lot of soil in the city and put it in bags, which were carried by the remaining 10,000 civilians in the city. Once out of the city, these civilian men will use bags filled with soil to fill the dozens of trenches to facilitate the passage of the army...

However, although the breakout time had been set, the French did not attack immediately, but waited...until...

"The time is ripe!" John Lafite stood up immediately after seeing the dark clouds in the sky, and went to find Louis XII...
