Chapter 1062: Take Control of the City

Seeing Marin's somewhat stunned look, Karn patted Marin's shoulder and said:

"Young Master, wake up!"

Marin finally came to his senses, then laughed and said:

"Little ones, get to work, pack these gold coins, gold bricks, silver bars, and silver coins and carry them away!"

Then, Marin looked at the ground again and said:

"Well, those copper coins on the ground, you can pick them up casually! However, if someone is found to have hidden gold and silver coins, it will be dealt with by military law! Also, copper coins are only allowed to fit in the pockets of clothes, not in sacks! ”

"Understood!" The soldier who followed him into the vault shouted excitedly.

Unlike Germany, southern European countries such as Italy and Spain have copper coins. The reason why there are copper coins is because Italy has a prosperous business. Silver coins were no longer sufficient for trade, and copper coins were created. However, the economy of Germany is backward, and the demand for currency is not large, and the smallest monetary unit is only the small silver coin of Finney. Although some of the small silver coins minted by the princes have a very low silver content, which is close to that of copper coins, there are no pure copper coins after all. On the Italian side, copper coins adapted to small transactions have appeared. And in Spain, which has a deep connection with Italy, copper coins also appeared.

According to the normal exchange ratio, generally one silver coin can be exchanged for 12 small copper coins. However, because the silver content of the Italian coins is too low, they are close to the copper coins. So, under normal circumstances, a small silver coin can be exchanged for three or four small copper coins or one or two large copper coins that weigh twice as much.

Therefore, copper coins are actually quite valuable at the moment. A handful of copper coins can be exchanged for a handful of silver coins of low purity.

However, Marlin did not allow them to use another bag, only to put it in the pocket of their clothes. At this moment, many soldiers with relatively few pockets of clothes on their bodies were about to cry - Nima, I already knew that I was wearing clothes with more pockets today......

It wasn't until they had almost picked up the copper coins scattered on the ground that the guys began to work hard to help Marin carry the gold bricks, bars, gold coins, and silver coins......

However, there were only a hundred soldiers who entered the vault with them. The soldiers outside the door saw their colleagues full of copper coins, and their eyes were red with envy.

Marin laughed and said:

"Worried about what? When this is over, you can go to the shops and the homes of the rich and search for the 'recalcitrant elements'......"

The veterans immediately understood and cheered, Marin had promised them to rob......

Of course, even if it is a robbery, there are rules in the Marin army - gold must not be kept privately, and all must be handed over. Silver coins can't be kept too privately, there is a limit, and copper coins are ...... at will.

In addition, it is forbidden to kill people indiscriminately and to rap women. Even if you are a single, you can only attack unmarried women. Moreover, it is not a mess, but a forced proposal and a return to be a wife.

The so-called forced proposal means that regardless of whether the woman's parents oppose it or not. As long as the girl is not married, the soldiers can forcibly marry her. However, it is necessary to pay the "bride price" to the woman's family to show "fairness".

Because there is an opportunity to snatch a wife, every time there is a war, the enthusiasm of the single soldiers under Marin is very high. Because, which beautiful girl they fancy in the occupied area, they can carry it and run. Sometimes, the logistics department will even help advance the "bride price" and open a note to prove that "both parties are in love......

Of course, if an ordinary rural girl is snatched away as a wife by these big-headed soldiers, it is really not a loss. Because, these soldiers Marin gave good treatment. After being discharged from the army, he will be arranged to be the leader of the manor, and his life is absolutely worry-free. Even if they die in battle, their families will be taken care of.

However, the young ladies of the rich families suffered. The family was originally wealthy, and they will marry into a wealthy family in the future. If you are unfortunate enough to be robbed by this group of vulgar big-headed soldiers, you will cry to death......

Fortunately, Marin forbade his soldiers to rob the noble lady, otherwise, he would definitely be blamed. As for the rich ladies who were robbed, they would not touch the nerves of the powerful people in various countries. After all, once a war breaks out, the rich are robbed, and there are many things to become poor. Only the aristocracy is the existence that cannot be moved.

It's not that the nobles won't let them move, but Marin will ask his subordinates not to offend the nobles' families when they rob the nobles' mansions. But property or something, absolutely unwelcome.

……

Just as Marin was leading the men to carry the gold bricks, bars, gold coins, and silver coins in the vault to the outside of the Bank of Siena building, Cage also escorted the officials of the Doge's Palace out.

Pandorf, the governor of Siena, was escorted to the front. Petruch's face changed when he saw the boxes that had been taken out of the bank......

The Petruch family is also one of the shareholders of the Bank of Siena, and as the patriarch of the Petruch family and the governor of Siena, Pandorf. How could Petruch not know that Marin had robbed the Bank of Siena. So, he shouted angrily:

"You robber, how dare you do this?"

Marin dug his ears indifferently and said:

"Please, this is war! Isn't that what everyone usually does? You should be grateful, because the army of our North Sea Kingdom will not harm the people of Siena, but only to ask for benefits. If other armies had invaded Siena, they would have killed a lot of people. Also, if you don't want too many casualties in Siena, quickly order to stop the resistance! If you are willing to cooperate, my soldiers will leave you enough money to support your family when they raid your mansion. If they don't cooperate, I can't guarantee what those soldiers will do. I've heard that both of your daughters are pretty ...... Hehe......"

"How dare you? Didn't your soldiers not blow up women? Also, they are noble ladies and are not to be offended! Petruch said in horror.

"Who said I'm going to have someone blow up your daughter? My soldiers wouldn't do that. However, you know, many of my soldiers can't marry wives, so you can hire your daughter as a wife! Don't worry, some of my soldiers are indeed ugly, their families are poor, and maybe some of them are missing arms and legs...... However, they will be genuinely good to your daughter......" Marin smiled and said to Pandorf. Petruch bared a mouthful of white teeth.

"No, you can't do that!" Thinking that his two flowery daughters might be snatched away as village women by ugly men with missing arms and legs, Pandorf. Petruch trembled. To him, it's worse than those big-headed soldiers and his daughter.

Europeans don't care about fame, second-married aristocratic daughters still have people to want, and there is no big problem with being forced X overnight. But if you are forced to marry a poor ghost with a lack of arms and legs, then it will be a big problem. Because, in European religious regulations, a married woman is not allowed to divorce easily. Divorce is not possible unless the Pope gives permission. And the Republic of Siena and the Holy See are mortal enemies, and it is impossible for the Holy See to make a judgment in favor of the Petrucci family. Therefore, if it is really snatched away and married by the poor ghost soldiers with missing arms and legs under Marin, it will be a big trouble......

"Think about it, this place will belong to the Holy See in the future. If they cooperate now, the Petruch family can still remain rich. Otherwise...... Hehe......"

"Okay, I'll cooperate with you......" After a long struggle of thoughts, Pandorf. Petruch finally gave in......

In fact, there is nothing he can do if he doesn't give in at this point. Because, the city of Siena has been breached, and it is only a matter of time before it is completely occupied. Marin only asked for his cooperation in order to reduce the casualties caused by the fierce resistance of the other side. Otherwise, it will take a little time to occupy the whole city.

Pandorf. As soon as Petruch agreed, Karn took him to the north street and shouted to the defenders to stop resisting.

The defending officers, who were still resisting, saw that the governor had been caught, and ordered them to surrender. When resistance was useless, the officers on the street immediately led their troops to surrender as soon as they saw that there were steps to go down......

Subsequently, the defenders of the northwest and south gates also surrendered......

However, Marin kept an eye on it. In order to prevent the Austrian troops outside the south gate from coming in and participating in the robbery, Marin did not immediately let the south gate be opened, but first let the surrendered south gate defenders stand by.

Marin then began to have his men take turns going to the shops in the city and the homes of the wealthy to "search for the recalcitrant". As for himself, he took the gold and silver he had stolen from the Bank of Siena, found a courtyard and settled in, and arranged for reliable soldiers to protect it closely......
