This terrible demolition lasted for half a month, and the prosperous Wittenberg was demolished in pieces. Of course, even if Marin has a conscience, after the demolition, not a single fire burned Wittenberg.

However, the European architectural structure is different from that of ancient China. The main structure of the Old Summer Palace is a wooden house, which is naturally very prone to fire. In Europe, most houses are made of stone, and it is not easy to burn them. It is often the case that the wooden floors and furniture inside the stone houses are burned out, but the main body of the house is fine. Because, the main body of the house is stone. Although it was blackened by the fire, it still stands......

Although it was not set on fire, Wittenberg at this time was also tossed to the point of not being able to speak. Karn was originally a violent maniac, and the demolition was naturally a violent demolition. Marin had seen many times that in order to remove the gold and silver inlaid on the chairs and other furniture, Karn directly raised his two-handed axe against the furniture without saying a word...... After breaking up the shelves, ask your subordinates to cut off the gold and silver decorations...... It's that rough......

Fortunately, the European aristocracy did not pay attention to the use of precious woods such as rosewood or huanghuali as in ancient China, and the general furniture was made of oak and pine. Therefore, the furniture itself is not worth much, just before the gold and silver decoration on it. Therefore, the furniture that was not inlaid with gold and silver was preserved. Otherwise, if you replace the furniture made of precious woods such as rosewood and huanghuali from China, you may be emptied...... When the time comes, perhaps those nobles will not even have a chair and a bed left......

Because the demolition was so thorough, Karn's demolition brigade harvested too much supplies. In addition to the gold coins and silver coins, and gold and silver objects, Karn and his men removed many bronze statues. The most embarrassing thing for the heir to the Elector of Saxony was that Kahn removed the bronze statue of Frederick III......

Frederick III, as a very capable and prestigious Elector of the Electorate of Saxony, was naturally quite loved. So Frederick III's men, together with the Saxon and Hanseatic merchants, made a bronze statue and erected it in the royal palace in Wittenberg.

No, the statue looked valuable because it was made of hundreds of pounds of copper, so Karn took a fancy to it. Karn took matters into his own hands, smashing the stone base with a sledgehammer, and then carried the six or seven hundred pounds of bronze man with a single man.

John was going to protest, but when he saw Karn carrying six or seven hundred pounds of bronze alone, he was so frightened that he froze there and forgot to protest to Karn, the pervert. Of course, he didn't have the courage to provoke a murderer like Karn......

In addition to Naxi gold, silver and bronze objects, Karn and others also moved many precious statues as instructed. As well as a large collection of paintings from the royal palace and aristocratic residences. The paintings that can be treasured by the royal family and the great nobles are certainly not low. Moreover, many of them are oil paintings handed down by nobles, which are the only basis for future generations to remember their ancestors, and many of them are treasures. To a certain extent, these oil paintings that preserve the physiognomy of the ancestors are similar to the tablets of the Orientals. For those European aristocrats who valued the glory of their families, these paintings were as important as tablets......

The oil paintings of generations of the Wettin family ancestors were directly snatched away by Kahn, and John was so angry that he almost fainted. However, Marin also told John - want an oil painting of your ancestors? Yes, negotiate and exchange things for ......

Because of the looting of too many works of art, especially those bulky sculptures, the results of Kahn's demolition were extremely amazing. If it were in an ordinary inland city, so many things might not be able to be transported. What is Kwittenberg? It was an important port in the middle reaches of the Elbe......

Therefore, Marin can borrow the river boat in Hamburg to bring all the supplies and works of art on board back to East Friesland. If it is replaced by a carriage, so many things, Marin may not have a way to pull it away. But with the help of a large number of Hamburg's river boats, it is much easier to transport these "demolition results". Under the pressure of the East Frisian army, the farmers near Wittenberg honestly carried the looted goods in Wittenberg to the wharf along the river outside Wittenberg and loaded them on ships.

According to the appraisal of the professional auctioneers who accompanied the ship in Hamburg, the total value of the looted property of the East Frisian army from Wittenberg was more than 2 million Gulden gold coins. Of course, this refers to the property and food that were demolished by the demolition brigade, not counting the gold and silver coins and gold and silver ornaments seized by Marin.

Mainly, gold, silver, coins and ornaments are very valuable materials. Moreover, the gold and silver do not occupy much land, and Marin can completely let his subordinates load and take them away in a carriage. As for those that are loaded and shipped back, most of them are actually relatively bulky and difficult to carry.

In fact, in this looting, Marin only looted 300,000 gold and silver coins worth of Gulden gold coins from the palace and the 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, most of Marin's wealth is grain, which is not discounted. When you need money, you need to sell your food.

However, raiding the homes of the nobles and merchants in Wittenberg was a great surprise to Marin...... Because, Karn's demolition team copied out gold and silver coins worth 800,000 gold coins......

It is no wonder that in this year, the banking industry in Europe has not yet risen, and these nobles and merchants have no place to save money. Of course, it is best to have a bank, and Marin directly sent troops to raid the bank vault, which is more direct.

In this era, European aristocrats and merchants also had the habit of putting large amounts of money at home. Only some nobles and merchants, involved in the money lending business, took out part of their money to usury, but most of the nobles and merchants' funds were still kept at home. So, that's cheaper Marlin. Some of the wealth that some families had accumulated over generations was directly snatched away by Karn and the demolition brigade......

In addition, the gold, silver, and jewels that Karn and his demolition team forcibly removed from the furniture and statues were worth 500,000 gold coins, according to rough estimates......

In total, the total value of the looting of Wittenberg alone was more than 1.6 million Gulden gold coins. Counting those heavy belongings that are valued at 2 million Gurden gold coins, this time the sack of Wittenberg, Marin's income is as high as 3.6 million Gurden gold coins, which is an absolute super profit!

Of course, to capture Wittenberg, Marin also wants to reward his subordinates. Therefore, Marin plans to come up with 400,000 gold coins...... to reward his men.

Cash, gold, silver, and jewelry, can do a lot of things, and Marin is reluctant to share them with the soldiers. Of course, it's not a little cash that doesn't give it. Marin's decision was to take out 100,000 gold coins worth of cash (mainly small silver coins of Finney, which were of low value and not easy to transport), and distribute them among his men. In addition, after returning home, he sold 300,000 gold coins worth of property and distributed it to the soldiers according to his merits.

In this way, Marin was able to keep 1,000,000 gold coins worth of cash, 500,000 gold coins worth of gold and silver jewelry, and 1,700,000 gold coins worth various belongings......

Anyway, Marlin is making a fortune......

In fact, Marin never dreamed that the sacking of Wittenberg would be so rewarding......

However, it is no wonder that, after all, the Saxon business district is the second largest business district in the Hanseatic League. In the Electorate of Saxony alone, there are more than two dozen cities, most of which are commercially developed.

As the capital and economic centre of the prosperous Electorate of Saxony, it seems no surprise that Wittenberg had so much possessions.

"Oh, no!" Marin was originally immersed in excitement, but suddenly slapped his thigh and stood up......

Why? Because Marin remembered that before, he had made a deal with Lübeck and Hamburg...... All the money is divided equally among the three families......

So, this means that the proceeds of Marin's sacking of Wittenberg this time will be divided equally among the three families......

"No wonder Hamburg wants to send a professional auctioneer who is with the ship, it turns out that he is here to count the property and prepare for the future partition......" Marin suddenly realized.

However, Marin only exposed the baggage to the eyes of the auctioneers in Hamburg. The people of Hamburg don't know about the gold and silver coins and gold and silver jewelry.

So, Marin decided to conceal the amount of gold and silver coins and gold and silver jewelry......

In the end, Marin decided to tell Lübeck and Hamburg that he had only grabbed 400,000 gold and silver coins and 200,000 gold and silver jewelry......

This figure, placed in an average city, is also absolutely reasonable. Even, so much wealth cannot be grabbed in most cities. But who is it that Saxony is commercially prosperous? Marin gives such figures entirely because Saxony is too developed to hide too much of what he has gained. In the capital of a vassal state in an agricultural region, Marin could have reported that he had only grabbed 100,000 gold and silver coins and 50,000 gold and silver jewels, and it was reasonable that no one would doubt it......

In this way, after Marin ransacked Wittenberg, he directly concealed gold and silver coins worth 600,000 gold coins and gold and silver jewelry worth 300,000 gold coins. As for the other ones that were divided equally with Lübeck and Hamburg, Marin could also get a share of 200,000 gold coins worth of gold and silver coins and gold and silver jewelry...... All in all, aside from the 100,000 gold coins worth of Finney, which were to be given to the soldiers, Marlin would receive a total of 1,100,000 gold coins and gold and silver jewelry......

Even, as for the goods worth 2 million gold coins worth of Gulden that had been loaded on the ship, Marin sent someone to declare to the auctioneers of Hamburg that there were 300,000 gold coins worth of goods, which were promised to the soldiers......

This is also the practice of this era, mercenaries capture a city, they must rob it. In addition, Marin's army had good military discipline, and no soldier dared to rob privately. However, Marin will not give less to what should be promised to them. Because, in the future, these soldiers were more motivated when attacking the city. Moreover, this is also in line with the current practice.

In this way, the baggage worth 2 million gold coins that had been loaded on the ship could be stripped away from the property worth 300,000 gold coins, and the remaining property worth 1.7 million gold coins could be divided equally among the three families...... In the end, Marin will also receive 566,000 gold coins......

Marin took out a pen and paper, carefully calculated, and was finally pleasantly surprised to find that aside from the rewards given to the soldiers, he was finally able to obtain gold and silver coins, gold and silver jewelry, and baggage worth a total of 1,666,000 Gulden gold coins......

It can be said that this time to conquer Wittenburg is definitely a big deal......
