The Rise of the European Emperor

In the autumn of 1516, the weather in the mainland of Beihai was good, and there was not much precipitation, which was very conducive to harvesting crops. With Mai Samarium, the autumn harvest in Beihai is no longer a problem, but more relaxed and enjoyable. The previous 10 million mu of arable land has increased a lot this year, reaching 13 million mu.

After all, the application of Prader plow carts, wheat samarium, and columbine carts has greatly enhanced the working capacity of the limited labor force in the North Sea State. That is to say, it is difficult to reclaim wasteland, otherwise Marin intends to expand the total area of ​​cultivated land in Beihai to more than 15 million mu.

Among them, Marin originally owned 6 million mu of 10 million mu of arable land, and 3 million mu of newly reclaimed land, and Marin accounted for another 2 million mu. In this way, the arable land under the name of the rich man in Ma has reached an astonishing 8 million mu.

In fact, if the labor force is sufficient, Marin even wants to become a man with more than 10 million acres of arable land. Ten million mu is equivalent to 200,000 hectares of land in the Ming Dynasty. And the wealthiest vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, King Fu, had only 40,000 hectares of land when he was a vassal.

The sad reminder is that King Fu owns 40,000 hectares of land because the imperial court officials are desperately restricting it so as not to have too much land. As for the labor force, the Central Plains Province where King Fu is located has always been one of the most densely populated areas in China. There is no shortage of labor force at all, and some tenants can recruit.

And what about Marin? He has the final say on the North Sea Country. If the labor force is sufficient, the North Sea Country, which is comparable in size to England, can reclaim 70 to 80 million acres of land. This is less than half of the land area of ​​the North Sea country, and most of the land area of ​​the North Sea country is a plain suitable for reclamation.

However, Marin is short of people! A population of more than two million is only equivalent to the population of a second-tier city in Huaxia in later generations. Switch to rural areas, that is, the population of two more counties in the southeastern region!

That is to say, the population of the sadly reminded Marin is only equivalent to the population of two counties in the later Huaxia, and far less than the population of a prefecture-level city in the later Huaxia...

Thinking about this, Marin feels depressed, but the population is like this, and the growth is slow. Unless there is large-scale foreign immigration. You know, during this period, the entire German region had a population of 12 million. The population of Marin's Beihai country already accounts for more than one-sixth. But the population of 12 million, in later generations of China, is only the population of two prefecture-level cities...Of course, this is the southeast coastal area...

Even if Marin vigorously encourages childbirth and allows women of the right age to give birth to one child every year, it will take 18 years to raise an adult and serve Marin after birth.

How to quickly increase the population? Marin thought about it, and then thought of the practice of the nomads in the northern part of China in ancient China - plundering women and children...

However, preying on women is not an option. The ancient East allowed a man to have multiple women, but the Western Christian world only allowed monogamy. Even if it is a king, if he wants to find a mistress, he has to be sneaky.

Before, Marin planned to let people obtain the women of the Aztec Empire in America as mistresses and give birth to children vigorously. It's America, far away from Europe, so there's no problem doing that. But in Europe, if you do this, the church will lose face and come looking for trouble. Because, this is obviously a big problem that violates the teachings. Even if there is a Pope's father-in-law, he can't bear it.

So, what about getting children? Just like the Turks, in the Slavic families in the Balkans, boys under the age of 10 were plundered and brought to Istanbul (that is, Constantinople) for training. Years later, the children of these Orthodox Christians or Catholic families were trained to be pure Green Christians, and they were extremely loyal to Turkey.

Marin also intends to learn from the Turks and get a boy with Mao Zi, and train him from an early age to grow into a loyal fighter or laborer in the North Sea Kingdom.

However, the cost of doing so is too high. Because the Crimean Khanate's price for healthy boys is not low. Specially for tall and strong boys, the price is not lower than that of beautiful hairy girls. If hundreds or thousands of them are introduced, Marin can still afford it. If you buy tens of thousands, Marin can't bear it. Moreover, the Crimean Khanate may not be able to plunder so many healthy boys.

In addition, the Maozi boys snatched by the Crimean Khanate from the Grand Duchy of Moscow will also be sold to their suzerain Ottoman Empire. After all, the Crimean Khanate is now the younger brother of Ottoman Turkey. If there is a good thing, the boss must be given priority. In this way, Marin's chances of getting enough hairy boys are even smaller.

Marin deeply regrets this. You must know that the Grand Duchy of Moscow established by Maozi was not strong in this era. However, the population is very large. Its population has reached tens of millions. The area that the Crimean Khanate harassed was nothing but the southern border of the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

It would be great if he could lead a large army into the hinterland of the Grand Duchy of Moscow and plunder a large number of people... At that time, wouldn't the hairy boys just pick them by themselves? Not too many, just a few hundred thousand boys is enough...

Marin fell into YY...

But he quickly sobered up, because it was too unrealistic for the North Sea country to send troops to the Grand Duchy of Moscow. In addition, what happened to Nahuang and Mustache's army there made Marin dare not send troops easily. If the expedition to the Ross region leads to the end of the elite and main forces of the Beihai Kingdom, then the Beihai Kingdom will be in danger.

"Unless... I can bring Lithuania and Poland together..."

Marin suddenly remembered that it seemed that there had been constant friction between Lithuania and the Grand Duchy of Moscow over the years. However, under its own influence, Lithuania bought the Crimean Khanate early, much better than in the original history.

Originally in history, at this time, Lithuania had been beaten by the Grand Duchy of Moscow to the point of being powerless. That is, Sigismund I bought the Crimean Khanate to attack Moscow, so that Lithuania was not destroyed by the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

In this time and space, Lithuania bought the Crimean Khanate early, which caused the Grand Duchy of Moscow to fail to establish an absolute military advantage over Lithuania.

But neither side was reconciled, the Grand Duchy of Moscow coveted the vast land of Lithuania. Lithuania, on the other hand, also wanted to recover a large area of ​​land occupied by the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Therefore, both sides want to kill each other. At the very least, we must disable our opponents...

In fact, Marin's brother-in-law, King Sigismund I of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania. He has repeatedly invited Marin to lead the army to attack the Grand Duchy of Moscow together.

However, Marin worried that Lithuania would be too strong after destroying the Grand Duchy of Moscow, threatening the German region. Therefore, he has been unwilling to send troops to help. Because, on the one hand, he was worried that Lithuania would be too strong after annexing Moscow, and he could not see any benefits.

Most importantly, he was worried that the elite of Beihai would repeat the mistakes of Napoleon and Mustache's army! It would be too miserable if the elite were lost in the ice and snow in the Ross area.

But now, Marin sees the point of interest—that is, the opportunity to plunder a large number of hairy boys to train them as their own. So, Marin was moved this time, and began to seriously consider cooperating with Poland and Lithuania to attack Maozi.

Once it is done, Marin will get hundreds of thousands of Maozi boys. After raising it for ten or more years, there will be hundreds of thousands of middle-aged laborers in Beihai. Even, these hundreds of thousands of men can be brainwashed from childhood to become the most fierce and loyal fighters, and conquer the entire German region for him... More than ten years later, they will speak fluent German, hold the sharpest weapons, With the infinite loyalty to Marin and the Hoffman family, he went to conquer other German states... Moreover, because it was robbed, Marin didn't need to spend tens of millions of gold coins to buy it, it was completely free, and he could post some food at most. And food, Marin has a lot...

Don't talk about hundreds of thousands of hairy boys, even hundreds of thousands, that's scary, okay? Hundreds of thousands of troops, in this era, can definitely sweep Europe. The premise is that as long as the supply of gunpowder can keep up...

Thinking of this, Marin couldn't stop drooling...
