The next day, Ulrich, the Duke of Württemberg, opened up more than one hundred knights who served as cheerleaders for the nobles, making the nobles look ashamed. However, the nobles could not object. Because, at this time, Chapman and their rebuilt peasant uprising continue to wreak havoc in the Principality of Württemberg. If anyone dares to oppose these dispatches, a big hat that "collaborates against thieves" can buckle your head ...
Then, the hundreds of dozens of nobles who originally forced the palace were less than half of them in an instant, and their momentum also fell sharply ...
Originally, although the more than one hundred knights had little decision-making power, they would scream. The knights were so loud, they made a lot of noise at the meeting, which made Duke Ulrich have a headache. After the knights left, the venue was quieter immediately.
The remaining thirty or so barons are all people of identity, and it is impossible to yell like knights. Then, the negotiations became more moderate and no longer as noisy as the vegetable market. But at the same time, the momentum of the nobles could not rise. Just like the black boss, there is no group of thugs wearing sunglasses, there is no pressure ...
At the same time, at the suggestion of Marin, Duke Ulrich put dozens of civilian officers and generals he promoted in the Principality of Württemberg into the negotiation venue ...
Although these dozens of people have no land, most of them are the second son of a large aristocratic family, and they are also regarded as noble children. Moreover, after this peasant uprising, Duke Ulrich also intended to promote a group of himself. In this negotiation, he happened to bring these people over and help him talk.
Before bringing them in, Duke Ulrich directly promised that whoever could help him to win over those nobles would probably get the noble title. Anyway, hundreds of nobles died, many vacant titles ...
In this way, the dozen or so noble children who were not knights were all excited-this is what they dreamed of!
Then, the negotiating venue became the stage where these dozen people quarreled. Although there are more than thirty barons across from them, they are completely in the disadvantage in front of them who are full of fighting spirit ...
The following day, Duke Ulrich entered the theater mode, watching the dozen faithful men quarrel with the barons. The barons succumbed, they were clearly in a higher position, but a dozen opponents were not good. Although they did not have a knighthood, they were also born in aristocratic families and still held official positions. Coupled with people who are Duke of Ulrich, they are not easy to use their identity to suppress people. Moreover, these dozen guys, bit by bit "loyal to the patriots", clearly stated that they were "unfaithful". Moreover, these dozen people are all outstanding civil servants in the palace of Ulrich, and their mouths are relatively neat. After being inspired by the knighthood, his voice became louder, and the fight was invincible ...
At the same time, at the suggestion of Marin, the Duke Ulrich also secretly sent Woolf to notify Chapman and others to let them deliberately bring the rebel army to attack the barons of those barons ...
When they learned that their homeland was looted by the rebels, these barons could not sit still, and became anxious, and the quarrel fell further.
In addition, Duke Ulrich also secretly attracted some barons who had a good relationship with him, and divided the noble camp ...
After several days of battle, the aristocratic alliance finally fell into the disadvantage. At the same time, nearly half of the barons were drawn by the Duke Ulrich.
But as a price, the Duke Ulrich had to devote half of the legacy of the dead Baron to the Baron who fell to him.
The final result is-more than 130 baron's manor, divided 68, Duke Ulrich only got 65.
And the other half of the barons who were not drawn in, the Duke Ulrich did not dare to let them go empty-handed. Exactly, in addition to the more than 200 aristocratic manor houses, there are also 300 Junker landlord manor houses. So, Duke Ulrich took out 70 and let them divide.
However, in this era, the best farms must belong to the nobles, followed by the manor of the Junker landlord, and the civilians ’land was the worst. Therefore, those nobles who have not been attracted by him, the Junker manor, the area and fertility of the land are certainly not as good as those of the baronial manor and the knight manor. However, it is better than nothing.
...
But this is just the beginning, because the Duke Ulrich seized the manor not for farming, but for selling money ...
Afterwards, the Duke Ulrich auctioned off all the confiscated 230 Junker landlord manor houses and sold 250,000 Gulden gold coins. As for the 152 aristocratic manor houses, because of the fertile land and the proximity to the river, Duke Ulrich did not plan to sell for the time being, but planned to send someone to plant it himself.
At this point, Duke Ulrich and those nobles were also very happy. After all, although the last 230 manors spent a lot of money on them, they could get the land. In this era of agriculture, they are definitely not losing money. If it were not for the Duke of Ulrich to sell the 230 estates to them, they would never let Duke of Ulrich embezzle so many estates.
As for the knights sent out to "bandit", who cares about their interests? Of course, if they have merit in suppressing the rebels, they will still be rewarded. This is the rule. Anyway, the rebel army led by Chapman and others will also slaughter many manors, and just take part to reward the meritorious soldiers.
Moreover, the Duke Ulrich agreed with the barons-the unaccompanied manor that will be received next will be distributed to the barons. However, for distribution, the auction system is adopted. In other words, Duke Ulrich did not want those manor houses, but wanted those manor houses to be won by auction. The auction money belongs to Duke Ulrich ...
In this way, Duke Ulrich, who lacked money, got the money to pay off the debts, and the barons got affordable land, which can be passed down. It is definitely a win-win situation!
Of course, this is not just a win-win situation, but a win-win situation. Because, Baron's Gate has no money now. Therefore, they need to borrow money to buy land. In this way, another winner appeared, that is-the bank family Fugel family ...
The Duke Ulrich and the barons have jointly issued an invitation to invite the Fugger family to participate in the land division and provide loans for the barons to buy land. According to the situation that the annual interest on loans in this era is at least 10%, and generally more than 15%, the Fugel family can also be full this time ...
Even after this conference, the barons of the Principality of Württemberg suddenly discovered that it seems that the existence of those mud-legged rebels is also a good thing ...
The land left by the nobles and the landlords of Junker became the things in their pockets, absolutely **** ...
So, next, the barons of the Principality of Württemberg ~ www.novelhall.com ~ are less interested in suppressing the peasant uprising. Even, intentionally procrastinating. Because, the more mansions the scourge of the mud leg rebels, the more benefits they have afterwards. However, the premise is-they have to guard their own manor, so as not to be scouted by the rebels, and let themselves become victims ...
...
In fact, for this peasant uprising in the Principality of Württemberg, there is another hidden big winner, that is Marin. Because, the captives of the repressed peasant uprisings were mostly sold to Marin to enrich the population of the American colonies. Compared with the mountainous landscape of the Principality of Württemberg, the fertile land by the American River should not be too much.
In the eyes of Marin, these manors desperately snatched by these barons of Württemberg were scum. Now, what Marin lacks most is the population. As long as there are people, much more fertile land can be cultivated than the entire Principality of Württemberg. These small estates where the Wurttemberg nobles snatched their heads, Marin was much lazy to take a look. Therefore, he is also a big winner of this peasant uprising in Württemberg. However, he is a hidden big winner.
Therefore, this carnival feast is not a three win, but a four win. The only losers are probably the dead manor owners ...
