Bishop Conrad fainted in anger, and the city of Münster was suddenly leaderless. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Marin waited left and right and couldn't reply, so he was impatient. So, the order was given to open fire from the artillery.

Although the people of Münster knew a little about the Danish battlefield, they did not care, having the Holy See and the Archbishop of Cologne as their backers. Therefore, they did not change the iron gates, nor did they nail iron sheets to the city gates. Therefore, it is still a pure oak gate. In this way, the 24-pounder Cullen cannon in Marin's hand was effective.

In the rumbling sound of cannons, the north gate of Münster was quickly smashed into a hole. Then, the demolition team went up and blew up the north gate......

It didn't work, though......

It turned out that the inside of the north gate of Münster had been built by masons into a wall......

Although the demolition team blew up the north city gate, the blocking items inside the city gate were no longer scattered bricks, stones and wood that were easy to blow up, but a wall that was condensed together......

Marin suddenly had a feeling of beeping a dog - you built the city gate to death, don't you plan to come out yourself?

Then, in a fit of rage, he wrote to the city in a hanging basket, saying that I was going to the south-eastern kingdom of Rietbergberg to arrest men......

Unfortunately, when the letter arrived, Bishop Conrad had not yet woken up, so naturally he could not receive Marin's threat.

Annoyed and angry, Marin really sent 3,000 soldiers and horses to the southeast in the direction of Rietberg......

However, Marin is actually just sitting and sitting. Because, the 3,000 men and horses he sent were all infantry. If you want to get to Rietberg, you will have to wait until the next day. If all the cavalry were sent over, it was estimated that they would arrive that night.

When Marin's 3,000 men and horses had departed, Bishop Conrad finally woke up. When he saw Marin's threatening letter and learned that Marin had really sent two or three thousand men to the southeast, he was immediately anxious.

In this era, the aristocracy of Europe paid the most attention to the "glory of the nobility" and "glory of the family". Marin sent people to the country of Rietberg to arrest his brother and nephew, simply trying to humiliate the Rietberg family to death. If his brother and nephew were to run naked outside Münster and spend the night with the sow, the Rietbergs would become the biggest laughing stock in all of Europe, with little face in the world.

In desperation, seeing that a catastrophe was imminent, Bishop Conrad finally lowered his arrogant head and chose to surrender......

When Marin received Conrad's letter of surrender, he was overjoyed and hurriedly sent cavalry to bring back the 3,000 soldiers and horses who had made a appearance. And the 3,000 men he sent out didn't go far. Because, Marin clearly told them - they are just acting.

However, Bishop Conrad surrendered though. However, four gates were blocked by his order. So, Marin and his army wanted to enter the city by tearing down the walls that blocked the gates......

Fortunately, when these walls are being built, they are simply pasted with mud, not some special adhesives. Therefore, when Marin sent engineering troops and hundreds of "yellow sledgehammers" came out with demolition hammers, these newly built walls were smashed apart little by little.

It took three days in a row to smash the dead wall of the North City Gate Cave to be smashed open. And the dead wall inside the city gate in the east, west, and south direction has not yet begun to be smashed......

When the opening of the north gate was cleared, Marin put on a full set of plate armor and led a large group of men and horses into the city of Münster with great pride.

The reason why he wore a full set of plate armor was obviously because Marin was afraid of death. You know, the city of Münster has not yet fallen into its control, and who knows if there are any assassins in the city who oppose him? What if I was wearing ordinary clothes and was shot in the face with a bow and arrow?

Historically, there have been many kings who have been assassinated. The famous Caesar was assassinated by the old man of the Senate. Caesar wore a silk robe to a meeting, of course, without protection, and was knocked out by the two stunned men of the Senate......

And the full set of plate armor on the Marin ship, except for heavy crossbows and muskets, basically will not suffer any damage. The heavy crossbow was too large to be hidden, and could not be used for assassination. As for muskets, the more backward region of the Bishopric of Münster was not yet equipped. After all, this is a religious country that restricts speech more and is not interested in technology. Therefore, muskets generally appeared in some more open-minded countries and regions in this era, rather than in countries where religion was supreme such as the Bishopric of Münster.

Marin proudly led the army to the cathedral in Münster, where he met Bishop Conrad with an unhappy face......

Ma Linxin said - I just like to see you look unhappy with me, but I am helpless. Then, inside the stately church, Marin danced a nondescript dance in front of Bishop Conrad, who was repressed with anger......

Because he was wearing a full set of plate armor, Marlin's dance was very mechanical dance. Of course, the natives of the 16th century would not have understood what mechanical dance was......

Seeing Marin's face like this, Bishop Conrad was really angry, and almost wanted to rush up and fight Marin. However, with the bishops in the way, Bishop Conrad renounced this irrational act.

Of course, even if Bishop Conrad rushed up, it would be nothing. Marin wears a full suit of plate armor, with a raised piece of protective armor even on the crotch. Even if he stood and let the elderly Bishop Conrad beat him, the final result was that Conrad himself had pain in his hands and feet......

After the chatter, it is natural to get to the point. Next, it's time for the transfer of power.

Unlike the usual surrender, Conrad lost his secular power, but he was still the bishop of the city, and he still held the religious power of the country. Therefore, Conrad did not need to hand over everything, nor would he become a prisoner, but only the secular power and city defense. And, of course, military control.

Holding back his anger, Conrad handed over the piles of books and rosters of the Bishopric of Münster to Marin. At the same time, the command of the 4,000 troops in the city was also handed over. In addition, Conrad handed over a "key to the gate", which symbolized control of the city of Münster.

In fact, the city of Münster was not locked at all, but with deadbolts. Handing over the keys is more symbolic.

In this regard, Marin has been prepared for a long time. On this trip south, he brought with him dozens of civil servants in order to take over the administration of the Bishopric of Münster. Among these dozens of people, there are 10 even college students of this era.

After receiving the books and rosters handed over by Bishop Conrad, the dozen or so civil servants found an office space and began to work.

The Bishopric of Münster differed from the secular state in general, in which civil officials were essentially missionaries rather than secular aristocrats. Of course, there are also some children of nobles hired from outside, for example, the children of nobles in the kingdom of Rietbergberg.

Because this is an all-encompassing transfer of secular power, the workload is enormous. The reappointment and dismissal of officials alone is a very huge project. After all, this is not a small country. The Bishopstate of Münster is a large vassal state with a population of 10,200 square kilometers and a population of 500,000. If you want to truly gain secular governance in the country, you must replace the old officials with those who are loyal to you. And the number of officials in demand is so huge, the source of which gives Marin a bit of a headache......
