Chapter 1645： people oriented

If you push back decades, most Dutch people believe in the era of Calvinism, and Malin would not want a Dutch. After all, this Calvinist, it was a professional rebellion against the king.

But now it is different. Calvinism has not yet emerged, and the Dutch are all Catholics. Even the unlucky child of Calvin has been ordered to be killed by Marin.

Yes, Calvin was killed by Marin! Last year, John Calvin, a 4-year-old kid, was killed by the killer sent by Marin ...

For this matter, Marin confessed for several days. Because, murdering a child is really something. Therefore, Marin was uneasy for a long time. However, Marin knew very well that the emergence of the Calvinism was not just a credit to Calvin alone, but the ultimate embodiment of the Swiss region ’s anti-monarch thought.

Calvin founded the Calvin Sect, a professional rebellion, after absorbing the ideas of the local people against the royal power of the Habsburg family in the Swiss region.

So, even without Calvin, there might be another person who founded a Protestant sect against monarchy in Switzerland. In order to eliminate this problem, Marin tried to support the Habsburg family's occupation of Switzerland to control the fermentation of Swiss anti-imperialist ideas.

Today, the city of Basel, where Calvin lived in Switzerland in his early years, is under the control of the Habsburg family. In the future, there will be no room for anti-imperialism here. As for Geneva, where Calvin lived in the later period, the Habsburg family can't really control it. Because Geneva is in the most southwestern part of Switzerland and has penetrated into the hinterland of France. Even, the local Geneva is mainly French, the main language.

Right now, Marin does not intend to offend France, so he clearly has the ability to help the Habsburgs occupy the entire territory of Switzerland, and Marin can't shoot. Otherwise, he may usher in a joint siege of the German prince alliance and France.

Therefore, Marin ’s future plan is to first use religious wars to annex the northern part of Germany, and then draw his hand to look at the situation in Switzerland. In the case of the Protestant Reformation in Western Switzerland, it is under the banner of the Holy See to help suppress it. This is of great significance, and is different in nature from helping the Habsburg family. And if the Swiss do not engage in religious beliefs or professional rebellious denominations like Calvinism, Marin does not need to help the Habsburgs expand their territory.

To put it bluntly, Marin helped the Habsburgs occupy Switzerland, mainly by using the Habsburgs as executioners to suppress local Protestant ideas, but not to help the Habsburgs grow stronger.

And this time to help Prince Philip to come up with an idea, it is actually to gain a large population in the Netherlands.

At this time, the people of the Netherlands have not yet converted to Calvinism, and they still belong to the group that can be drawn together. Moreover, it was ruled by the Habsburg family for decades, and has long been integrated into the Holy Roman Empire system. Marin's Beihai country has always been in good company with the Habsburg family, and even the people of the Netherlands are more friendly to Beihai. It's like the later generations of China and Pakistan Railway have good relations, and the two peoples are also friendly to each other.

Against this background, Marin is not difficult to recruit Dutch people. Moreover, it is easy to transform them and educate them into their own people.

You know, in this era, as long as the European people can eat, wear and warm, they will be grateful to Dade without paying too much.

In fact, the people of the Beihai Kingdom are now the envy of most of the people of the Holy Roman Empire. Because the serfs of the North Sea country actually have soft brown bread that is free of mud and stones every day, and often eat salted fish. This treatment is simply envious of others.

You should know that in this era, most serfs in the German region were basically half-starved. Many people cannot eat bread, but can only eat a little porridge mixed with rye, wild vegetables, grass roots and other messy things. Bread, a real food, is something that serfs in rich areas can only eat. Moreover, even if you eat bread, it is the kind of hard black brick bread mixed with a lot of soil and stones, you can't eat it without soaking the water ...

And the serf of Beihai is soft bread and salted fish, can you make people envious? Of course, this will only be known to insiders, but most serfs will not know. In particular, the princely states where the princes who are hostile to Marin often deliberately counter-propaganda, describing the Beihai State as hell, and even slandering Marin's sweetheart ...

Only the vassal states where the Habsburg family territory, the Lamarck family territory, and other Marin ’s allies are located, will have a positive propaganda for the Beihai state.

Of course, people in the neighboring countries of Beihai also know. After all, they can see the facts in their eyes, and it is useless to conduct anti-propaganda.

In addition, people in the southern Swabian region have a little understanding of the situation in the North Sea country. Because the nobles of the Swabian League belong to the Habsburg family and will not discredit the North Sea Kingdom. The people there will also receive fairly fair news.

However, these countries that are friendly to Beihai, Marin is not too embarrassed to start. Only in the Swabian area, because of the large population, Marin will start. The territory of the Habsburg family has never felt that there is a large population before, and Marin is naturally inconvenient to start.

In the Netherlands, because of the friendly relationship between the Habsburg family and the North Sea country, the locals obviously know the good days of the people of the North Sea country. If someone is sent to recruit the population, someone will definitely respond.

Of course, the premise is to recruit them to the North Sea country, they are sure to be willing. But if they are recruited to the Americas ... because of Marin's previous negative propaganda, they may not be willing.

But Marin didn't care, because he would send someone to cheat ...

First flicker that it is a local recruiting, people deceived, and then sent to the American colony ... as long as enough soldiers and horses are sent to escort, there will be no problems ...

The population of the Netherlands is over one million, even if there are hundreds of thousands of textile workers in the Flemish region, the immobilized, but hundreds of thousands of farmers are left, it is easy to handle.

When raising sheep, not so many people can be used. As I said before, a 100,000-acre family farm in New Zealand, with a family of seven, can raise 28,000 sheep and 26,000 cattle. A cow eats several times as much as a sheep, so a 100,000-acre pasture can feed at least a hundred thousand sheep.

This is still very small. According to the limit algorithm of later generations, up to 15 sheep can be raised on one mu of forage. However, it is a professional high-yield pasture, usually with chemical fertilizers. At the moment, the Netherlands does not have such a professional pasture. However, the Netherlands is close to the North Sea, with plains as the main fields, fertile land, and abundant rain. Even if it is ordinary pasture, it is no problem to raise one or two sheep on an acre. If more than 70,000 square kilometers of land are used to raise sheep, hundreds of millions of sheep can be raised. Of course, this is impossible. After all ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Netherland cannot just raise sheep.

Even the great sheep-raising country, Britain, currently has more than 10 million sheep. This is inversely inferred from wool production, because the annual production of British wool is about 50,000 bales (364 pounds per bale). And a package of wool often requires 260 sheep a year to produce, so, conversely, it is estimated that there are more than 13 million sheep produced in the UK ...

However, if we count one sheep per mu of grassland to raise 13 million sheep, it only takes 86666 square kilometers. Even if the efficiency is doubled, it is only 173,332 square kilometers, and the Netherlands area to which the Habsburg family belongs is absolutely affordable.

Of course, Marin will not kindly tell them this limit data, but will try to exaggerate the place needed to raise sheep. It is best to let half of the Netherlands be used to raise sheep. In this way, hundreds of thousands of Dutch farmers can lose their land and have to accept their own solicitation ...

Although it costs 100,000 British sheep, Marin does not care. After all, in his eyes, population is the most important thing. People-oriented ...

The Dutch are mainly Germanic, as long as they are well educated and fooled, they can be absorbed as their own ...
