Chapter 1518： Lack of money

Under normal circumstances, the lord, Duke Ulrich, cannot casually arrest the people under his control. Unless, those people break the law or resist taxes. In general, most of the farmers arrested in this era were due to tax resistance. After all, the nobles are poor, and the serfs are even poorer.

Of course, for the peasants who dare to rebel, the nobles are also entitled to arrest. They can even be hanged. But Europe has no precedent to kill all insurgents. Up to hang or burn the leading group of people. As for most of the people who followed the rebellion, they were generally either exiled or fined a lot of money. As for the confiscation of all property or something, that is the basic operation. As for all the pit kills like Bai Qi, it is unlikely. Even if the ancient China were unscrupulous, Bai Qi's behavior was condemned.

What's more, in Christian teaching, forgiveness is an important basic principle. But the nobles also have their own ways-I cannot kill those who accompanied the rebellion, but they can be exiled!

Tsar, the most brutal monarch in later generations in Europe, especially likes to exile opponents to the extremely cold Siberia, leaving them on the verge of being frozen to death. Later, the Soviet Union also inherited this policy, and a large number of prisoners were exiled to Siberia, even the last czar family.

Of course, the British do the same. After the British occupied the east coast of North America, they also regarded North America as a place of exile. The immigrants who first emigrated to North America were composed of Puritans and exiles. Because they are the descendants of rebellion, so the character of the later generations of old and beautiful people is very rebellious and arrogant ...

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

Therefore, before Marin wanted to buy those peasant uprising prisoners of war, several lords of Bryschgau actually had a headache for the disposal of those peasant prisoners of war. So, they want to secretly sell people to Marin.

But selling people is illegal, and it will be unlucky to pass it on. Fortunately, Marin had a broad knowledge and immediately came up with the excuse of "substituting for exile" to solve all problems.

Moreover, exile those rebels to the wild continent of "venomous snakes, poisonous mosquitoes and wild beasts rampant" is also a deterrent to farmers who dare to participate in the uprising.

According to the scale of the previous peasant riots, about 8,000 mature peasants participated in the riots. If you mobilize the army and wipe them out, you can get less than 8,000 prisoners of war. But Marin had a big appetite, and the Duke Ulrich was also dissatisfied with just such a "commodity".

Therefore, according to the characteristics of the peasant uprising army who likes to take the peasants together, Marin helped the Duke Ulrich to develop a set of poison schemes of "disastering the water to the east" and "borrowing the knife to kill".

The so-called misfortune is to block and drive away the peasant uprising army to the place where the planner wants them to go. As long as they are not in their own territory, they will do whatever they want.

The "borrowing a knife to kill people" is even more terrifying. These peasant uprisings are not gentlemen who understand etiquette, but robbers who plunder around. Once they are driven to certain estates, looting the food and wealth of the estate is a basic operation. Even the owner of the manor may be killed.

Once the little nobleman who was the owner of the manor was killed, then the Duke Ulrich, as the monarch of the princes, had reason to take the manor.

In this way, after the peasant uprising settled, the Duke Ulrich could make a fortune by taking back many of the dead manor's estates.

Moreover, all the property previously seized by the peasant uprising will also be seized by the army of the Duke Ulrich. In addition to the small portion to be given to the army soldiers, most of it is also owned by the Duke of Ulrich.

Therefore, if this peasant uprising is done well, the Duke Ulrich can make a fortune.

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

However, he ultimately had little confidence in how to let the peasant uprising army flow according to his settings. After all, you must first resist the attack of the peasant uprising. If it ca n’t be stopped, the peasant army will go wherever it wants, and it may specifically blame Ulrich ’s own manor. If one is not careful, this matter may escape, and then kill himself.

Fortunately, Kohler made a statement on behalf of Marin, expressing his willingness to send 7,000 mercenaries to enter the Principality of Württemberg as ordinary mercenaries. Then, construct defensive fortresses in the border area of ​​the Duke Ulrich's own fiefdom to prevent the peasant uprising from entering the duke's own fiefdom. Of course, we must also take into account the interests of the nobles of the duke's cronies. Then, as for the interests of other nobles, Duke Ulrich stated-I let him die ...

Moreover, the more unlucky the nobles were, the happier he was. Because the lost profits of the unlucky nobles belong to him in the end ...

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

According to the agreement reached between the two parties, when Kohler returned, he would send 7,000 elite soldiers to build a bunker similar to a noble gun tower in the border area of ​​the Duke Ulrich's enclave to guard the security of the Duke's private territory. Of course, there will also be some people who help guard the Duke's vassals and support the Duke's nobles.

At the same time, Duke Ulrich will organize his nobles to gather soldiers and horses in the territory and drive out the peasant uprisings according to the plan. Make the peasant uprising flow along the route he set, and harm the territory of the nobles who are not right with the Duke ...

In the end, the ending was-the peasant army scouted the little nobles and landlords along the route according to the Duke's predetermined route, but was finally "black and black" by Duke Ulrich. Marin got tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people for the development of the American colony.

According to Marin's estimate, this uprising will bring at least tens of thousands of immigrants. With these people, he is not only developing the land of later New Jersey. He can expand westward inland, and he can establish colonies in other coastal areas.

However, in consideration of preventing people from getting involved in the colony, Marin prefers to place these tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of immigrants on the coastal line, so as to achieve the purpose of complete control of the eastern coast of the later generations of the United States, and does not give other countries the opportunity to see the needle.

But the North American colony was so large that tens of thousands of people could not afford to make waves. So, Marin made up his mind to find a way to get away more than 100,000 people from the Principality of Württemberg this time, even at a high price.

But just after he made up his mind ~ www.novelhall.com ~ he realized a serious problem-it looks like he didn't have much money ...

Of course, this does not mean that Marin is poor. Marin is rich, but most of his property exists in the form of grain and liquor. Marin would like to sell all of this property 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 other kinds of Middle Eastern goods. Therefore, there is a shortage of money in Europe. Similarly, Marin is now making money.

Just like the population purchase this time, although Marin only needs to pay less than half of the cash, the rest is offset by goods such as grain. However, if the total population reaches hundreds of thousands, the total transaction volume may reach one hundred to several hundred thousand gold coins. Even if less than half need to pay in cash, it will be hundreds of thousands of gold coins in cash ...

To be honest, Marin is not able to afford so much money. Rather, after taking out the money, he didn't have much cash in his hand. The Grand Duchy of Beihai, as a big country with more than 2 million people, how could the court have no money? Therefore, Marin felt-really lack of money ...
