() & nbsp This horrible demolition lasted for half a month and demolished the prosperous Wittenberg. Of course, Marin's conscience is not, after the demolition, no one burned Wittenburg.
However, European architectural structure is different from ancient China. The main structure of the Old Summer Palace is a wooden house, which is naturally easy to catch fire. Most European houses are mostly stone houses, and it is not easy to burn them. It often happens that the wooden floors and furniture inside the stone house are burned out, but the main body of the house is fine. Because the main body of the house is stone. Although it was burnt black by the fire, it stood upright ...
& nbsp did not set fire, but at this time Wittenberg was also tossed to be unreasonable. Kahn was originally a violent madman, and the demolition is naturally also a violent demolition. Marin has seen many times that in order to remove the gold and silver inlaid on furniture such as chairs, Kahn directly raised his axe to the furniture, which is a jump ... After breaking up the rack, let his hands decorate the gold and silver Cut it out ... just so rude ...
Fortunately, European aristocrats do not pay attention to the precious woods such as rosewood or Huanghuali as in ancient China, and the general furniture is made of oak and pine. Therefore, the furniture itself is not valuable, just before the decoration of gold and silver. Therefore, the furniture that is not inlaid with gold and silver has been retained. Otherwise, the furniture made of precious wood such as Chinese rosewood and Huanghuali may be evacuated ... By then, those nobles may not even have a chair and a bed ...
& nbspBecause the demolition is too thorough, Kahn's demolition team has harvested too many supplies. In addition to those gold coins, silver coins and gold and silver objects, Kahn took his men and removed many bronze statues. What embarrassed the heir to the Elector of Saxony the most was that Kahn took away the bronze statue of Frederick III ...
Frederick III, as a powerful and prestigious electorate of the electoral state of Saxony, is naturally loved. Therefore, the men of Frederick III, together with the merchants of Saxony and Hansa, collectively made a bronze statue and erected it in the royal palace of Wittenberg.
& nbsp didn't want to, because this statue used a few hundred pounds of copper, it looked very valuable, so Kahn took it. Kahn personally shot, talking about the sledgehammer smashing the stone base, and then carried the six or seven hundred pounds of the copper man directly away.
& nbsp John had originally planned, but he saw Kahn carrying a copper man of six or seven hundred pounds alone. He was scared and stupid, and he froze there, forgetting the pervert to Kahn. Of course, he didn't have the courage to provoke a peerless murderer like Kahn ...
In addition to Naxi gold, silver and bronze, Kahn and others also moved many precious statues according to the instructions. And, a large number of oil paintings collected by the royal palace and the noble mansion. The level of paintings that can be collected by the royal family and the big nobles is certainly not low. Moreover, many of these are oil paintings handed down by the nobles, which are the only basis for the later generations to remember their ancestors, and many are treasures. To a certain extent, these oil paintings that preserve the appearance of ancestors are similar to those of the Orientals. For those European nobles who value family heritage and glory, these oil painting portraits are no less important than brands ...
The oil paintings of several generations of the Wetting family were directly snatched away by Kahn, and John almost fainted. However, Marin also told John-Want oil paintings from ancestors? Yes, talk during negotiation, exchange things for ...
& nbsp because of snatching too many works of art, especially those heavy sculptures, which made Kahn's demolition this time, the results are extremely amazing. If you switch to a general inland city, so many things may not be able to be transported. Where is Covitenburg? That is an important port in the middle of the Elbe ...
So, Marin can borrow Hamburg's river boat to bring back all kinds of materials and artworks on the ship back to East Friesland. If you change to a horse-drawn carriage, so many things, Marin must not be able to pull away. But with the help of a large number of Hamburg's inland ships, it is much easier to transport these "demolition results". Under the persecution of the East Frisian army, the farmers near Wittenberg honestly carried the looted property from Wittenberg to the riverside pier outside Wittenberg and loaded the ship Transport away.
& nbsp According to the evaluation of professional auctioneers onboard Hamburg, the goods looted by the East Frisian army from Wittenberg have a total value of more than 2 million Gulden gold coins. Of course, this refers to the property, food, etc. removed by the demolition team, not counting the gold and silver coins seized by Marin, and gold and silver ornaments.
& nbsp is mainly that gold and silver coins and ornaments are very valuable materials. Moreover, there is not much gold and silver, and Marin can let his men take it with the carriage. As for those who ship back, most of them are bulky and difficult to carry.
In fact, during this looting, Marin looted only gold and silver coins worth 300,000 Gulden coins from the palace and treasury, which is not a lot. Of course, in this era, the nobles who can get 300,000 gold coins in cash are all local tyrants. Even Marin is at this level. Because, Marin's wealth, mostly food, is not discounted. When you need money, you need to sell food.
However, copying the houses of the nobles and merchants in the city of Wittenberg gave Marin a huge surprise ... because Kahn's demolition team copied out gold and silver coins worth 800,000 coins ...
It's no wonder that this year, the European banking industry has not yet emerged, and these nobles and businessmen have no place to save money. Of course, it is best to have a bank. Marin sent troops directly to copy the bank vault, which is even more direct.
In this era, European nobles and businessmen also had the habit of amplifying money at home. Only some nobles and businessmen are involved in lending business, and some of the money is taken out for usury, but most of the nobles and businessmen's funds are still at home. So, this is cheaper Marin. The wealth accumulated by generations of some families was taken away directly by Kahn with the demolition team ...
In addition, the gold, silver, and jewelry that Kahn and his demolition team forcibly removed from those furniture and statues, according to rough estimates, are also worth 500,000 gold coins ...
In general, the looting of Wittenberg this time, only gold and silver jewelry, the total value of more than 1.6 million Gulden gold coins. Counting those valuables valued at 2 million Gulden gold coins, this time looting Wittenberg, Marin's income was as high as 3.6 million Gulden gold coins, absolutely super profitable!
Of course, Marlin also rewards his men when he wins Wittenberg. Therefore, Marin intends to come up with 400,000 gold coins ... to reward his men.
& nbsp Cash and gold and silver jewelry can do a lot of things, Malinsha does not score for the soldiers. Of course, it's not that you don't give cash at all. Marin ’s decision was to take out cash worth 100,000 gold coins (mainly small silver coins with low value and not easy to transport) and give them to his men. In addition, after going back, he then sold 300,000 gold worth of property and distributed it to the soldiers according to credit.
Calculated in this way, Marin can also retain cash worth 1 million Gulden gold coins, gold and silver jewelry worth 500,000 gold coins, and various properties worth 1.7 million gold coins ...
& nbsp anyway, Marin is making big money ...
& nbsp In fact, Marin never dreamed that there would be such a big gain from looting Wittenberg ...
However, this is no wonder, after all, the Saxony business district is the second largest business district of the Hanseatic League. There are more than 20 cities in the electoral country of Saxony, most of which are commercially developed.
As the capital and economic center of the prosperous Saxon constituency, Wittenberg seems to have so much property.
Ah, right! "Marin was originally immersed in excitement, but suddenly he patted his thigh and stood up ...
& nbsp why? Because Marin remembered it-before, he reached an agreement with Lübeck and Hamburg ... all the money, the three are divided equally ...
& nbsp So, this means that Marin's looting of Wittenberg will be divided equally among the three ...
No wonder Hamburg is going to send a professional auctioneer on board. It turns out that it is to count the property and prepare for the future division ... "Marin suddenly realized.
However, Marin only exposed the heavy goods to the eyes of the Hamburg auctioneer. Those gold and silver coins and gold and silver jewelry, Hamburgers do not know.
& nbsp So, Marin calculated that he decided to conceal the amount of gold and silver coins and gold and silver jewelry ...
In the end, Marin decided to tell Lubeck and Hamburg that they only grabbed 400,000 gold coins and gold and silver jewelry worth 200,000 coins ...
The figure of & nbsp is absolutely reasonable in general cities. Even so much wealth is not available in most cities. But who calls the business development in the Saxony region? Marin gave such data because the business in Saxony is too developed and it is not easy to conceal too much. Change to the capital of a princely country in an agricultural area ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Marin can report that only gold and silver coins worth 100,000 gold coins and gold and silver jewelry worth 50,000 gold coins have been robbed, and it is reasonable and no one will doubt ... …
In this way, after looting Wittenberg, Marin directly concealed gold and silver coins worth 600,000 coins and gold and silver jewelry worth 300,000 coins. As for the other ones to be split equally with Lubeck and Hamburg, Marin can also divide the gold and silver coins and gold and silver jewelry worth 200,000 gold coins .... Regardless of Nepalese silver coins, Marin will get gold and silver coins and gold and silver jewelry with a total value of 1.1 million gold coins ...
Even, for the goods worth 2 million Gulden gold that have been shipped, Marin also sent someone to declare to the Hamburg auctioneers that this property, worth 300,000 gold coins, was promised to the soldiers ...
& nbsp This is also the practice of this era, mercenaries who captured a city must be robbed. That is to say, Marin ’s military is well disciplined, and no soldiers dare to rob in private. However, Marlin will not give less money to the promised goods. Because, in the future, these soldiers will be more motivated when they siege. Moreover, this is also consistent with current practice.
& nbsp This way, the already-shipped goods worth 2 million gold coins can also be worth 300,000 gold coins, and the remaining goods worth 1.7 million gold coins, which will be divided equally ... Finally, Marin will get Property worth 60,000 gold coins ...
Marin took out the pen and paper, carefully calculated it, and finally found it pleasantly surprised--aside from the rewards given to the soldiers, he could finally get gold and silver coins, gold and silver jewelry and voluminous goods worth a total of 60,000 Gulden gold coins ... …
& nbsp It can be said that this attack on Wittenberg is definitely Dafa Special ...
