Chapter 551: The class teacher returns to the dynasty

In fact, Lord Margaret didn't know that the Marlin classmate he was thinking about had long been thinking about the troubled things in England.

At present, the war in Germany is over for the time being, and Marin is planning to go to England to make waves. It's just that he needs a suitable excuse to send troops.

He has not yet confessed to Edward that he is the identity of "Edison, the big boss of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce", and is thinking about how to confess to Edward. Only when you talk about it, can you cooperate.

But the problem is that he can't be too proactive. People are not in a hurry, why are you an outsider in a hurry? So, Marin was also thinking about how to propose to help Edward fight Henry VII.

It can be said that this letter from the Lord of Margaret was actually sent to Marin under the steps. It would have been great if Edward had offered to invite him to join the army. In this way, his ambitions for England can be fully concealed...... If he had been too proactive, perhaps Edward would have doubted his motives......

Of course, that's for later. At present, Marin is preparing to withdraw his troops and return to the DPRK......

The Imperial Council of Worms was over, and Marin respectfully sent off the old man who had come thousands of miles to help him suppress the battle, and then visited each other with a group of princes before ending Worms's trip.

Next, Marin will first rush to Hamburg with an army of 10,000 to join the rest of the army. Then, after the three parties divided the interests, they went back to their own homes and found their own mothers......

In fact, the division of interests, the three families have already reached an agreement - because the battle is basically fought by Marin's army, so the land cession belongs to Marin. The property and indemnity obtained were divided equally among the three families.

Previously, Marin had already grabbed more than 2 million Gulden gold coins in Wittenberg, which had been shipped to Hamburg and Lübeck for auction. Together with the 2.5 million gold coins that the other party needed to compensate in the later agreement, the total income was almost 4.5 million gold coins. If the three are divided equally, each family will be about 1.5 million.

However, Marin privately reduced the reparations of 500,000 gold coins from the Electoral State of Brandenburg, and the 1 million gold coins required by the Electoral States of Saxony were also transferred by Marin to George, Duke of Saxony, for the purchase of West Friesland. So, in the end, Marin has used up his share......

In other words, the remaining property worth more than 2 million gold coins of Gulden, as well as 500,000 gold coins each of Denmark and Brandenburg, has nothing to do with him.

Upon arrival in Hamburg, the three families divided their interests – the property, worth more than 2 million Gulden gold coins, was divided equally between Hamburg and Lübeck. As for the reparations, the Danish 500,000 gold coins were collected by Lübeck. The indemnity of 500,000 gold coins of the Elector of Brandenburg was collected by Hamburg......

As for Marin, the acquisition of so much land is already the biggest gain. Moreover, at the time of the "demolition" looting of Wittenberg, he also secretly hid gold and silver coins worth millions of gold coins, gold and silver jewelry, and his purse was also very rich. Therefore, he has nothing to do with him for the next division of property, and he doesn't care too much.

However, for the reward of his soldiers, Marin is a little nerve-wracking......

Originally, Marin planned to reward the whole army with 400,000 gold coins worth of gold coins looted from Wittenberg. However, now Marin has not received any money after the division of the meeting. So, Marin now needs to have a headache about what to reward the soldiers......

asked him to reward the soldiers with the cash, gold, silver and jewelry he had robbed, but Marin was a little reluctant. Moreover, he felt that this opening could not be opened.

Why? If the soldiers are accustomed to being rewarded with a large number of gold and silver coins, if the monarch is short of money one day and has no cash to reward the soldiers, will it cause a bad impact and even shake the morale of the army?

Therefore, Marin's point of view is not that he can't afford to give cash, but that he can't open this opening. If the soldiers are allowed to develop the bad habit of "not going to war without cash", it will be difficult for the army to manage in the future.

Therefore, Marin's rewards were generally distributed in a centralized manner after the war, and they were generally not given cash, but were converted into property and land as much as possible.

But this problem was quickly solved by the quartermaster who came to report to work......

How was it solved? It turned out that the quartermaster came to report to Marin, pointing out that a large number of captured weapons and armor had piled up in the warehouse......

Previously, Marin sold 2,000 sets of full-body plate armor, 3,000 sets of chest armor, and 10,000 spears to Emperor Maximilian I, but after all, it was a minority. You know, Marin's army has captured 50,000 military weapons and armor. Also, the knights' horses.

But for some reason, when the three families divided the property this time, neither Lübeck nor Hamburg mentioned these weapons and armor and war horses, and did not ask to participate in the division of war horses and weapons and armor.

In fact, as allies, Lübeck and Hamburg were also shocked by the strong fighting power displayed by Marin. Therefore, when dividing up the property, Lübeck and Hamburg tacitly did not mention the horses and weapons and armor, but only discussed the visible property. After all, the two families may still need to rely on Marin for security in the future. Moreover, this war is basically made by Marin, and they can have so much money to share, which can be regarded as cheap. If you want to get a piece of the pie on war horses and weapons and armor, it is easy to annoy Marin, and it will be worth the loss......

Since neither Lübeck nor Hamburg mentioned the captured horses and weapons and armor, Marin was naturally not polite......

The seizure of horses was very large, more than 20,000. Among them, there are more than 7,000 war horses used by knights to charge. In addition, there are more than 13,000 horses used to transfer and pull goods.

There are so many horses, so many that Marin is a little worried. It just so happened that he needed to reward his subordinates, and it seemed that he could not have better reward them with war horses and weapons and armor......

Anyway, those war horses and weapons and armor, Marin originally planned to cash in. It's just that because the amount is too large, and the weapon armor is not new. If you want to sell, you will inevitably have to sell it at a discount.

But now, if it is used to reward the soldiers, it is not discounted, but calculated according to its market price.

For example, if a set of plate armor is sold for 50 gold coins in the market, if Marin concentrates on these second-hand weapons and armor, he may only be able to sell it for a set of twenty or thirty gold coins. However, when it is used to reward meritorious soldiers, it can be calculated according to its market price. Therefore, if Marin gave those second-hand weapons and armor as a reward to meritorious soldiers, he could save a lot of money.

As for the horses, Marin decided to give most of them to the meritorious officers and let them take them back to raise. In peacetime, it is also used as a daily means of transportation for officers.

Marin then leaves only a group of excellent mares and puts them in the breeding center to raise excellent offspring. As for the stallions? Give it to the officers to go back and raise it......

You must know that European local war horses are often fed, and the cost of raising them is amazing. Rewarding most of the horses to meritorious officers also apportioned the cost of raising horses. Moreover, rewarding war horses looks very high-end and high-grade, and the people who are rewarded are still grateful to Dade.

But in fact, they raised those war horses, and they also bred them for Marin. Because, when they were fighting, they had to take out the war horses that they usually raised to fight for Marin?

Therefore, Marin felt that he was too genius. A small means passed on the cost of raising horses to his officers. You must know that 7,000 war horses consume a lot of fine material every day, but it is very scary. It's all up to Marin himself, and it's very expensive.

And those horses are not expected every day. Moreover, those horses can also be used to pull carts and plough fields, and they can be used in a wide range. Pull it to the private market, and there are also people who buy it. What's more, Marin plans to vigorously develop Jutland, and a large number of horses are needed. Therefore, these horses, Marin can eat them all by himself.

Of course, these war horses and second-hand weapons and armor, although they are also rewards, are not all. When rewarding meritorious deeds, he will certainly give a large amount of land. And those war horses and weapons and armor can only be regarded as an addition to the reward, in place of the reward of wealth.

It's just that the calculation of combat exploits is very troublesome. In particular, the calculation of the merits of the 40,000 army is even more troublesome. It takes a long time to count all the feats of battle.

Therefore, before the reward, everyone can only go back first, go back to their own homes, find their own mothers, and wait until the statistics of the battle merits are over, and then hold a formal ceremony to publicly reward the title and land, as well as the financial reward......

Therefore, after the distribution of the spoils in Hamburg was over, Marin naturally planned to go back. Of course, before going back, he had to wait for the troops previously stationed in Wittenberg and Berlin to come to Hamburg to join him. After all the troops have arrived, they can officially return to the DPRK......
