Looking at the cheers of the soldiers, Marin felt a little funny - this kind of treatment can make you cheer, I really didn't pursue it......

But he also didn't want to think about it - what age was this? This is an era when human life is like a mustard, and sometimes, many people work as soldiers just to be fed and clothed.

Marin is a modern person, and he is always used to bringing modern thinking into his thinking. In the 21st century, any job you need will have five insurances and one housing fund. If there is a work injury, the boss is estimated to pay a lot of money.

But that's the modern age! A modern age that emphasizes human rights! But what was the 16th century? Europe has just emerged from the barbaric Middle Ages, and many barbaric traditions have been preserved.

Why are mercenaries popular in Europe in this era? Because the mercenary doesn't need to be compensated if he dies! The aristocrats of this era are more stingy than others, and when they die as soldiers, they basically don't get any compensation. Only when the nobles died, they received some compensation.

Therefore, these soldiers from civilian backgrounds, can they not be moved to see that Marin cares so much about their life and death?

……

Seeing that the soldiers of the Beihai Kingdom could get generous compassion when they died, the soldiers of the alliance of the princes of the Eight Kingdoms who were squatting aside as prisoners of war were full of envy. They didn't expect that there were still such good aristocrats in this world who treated soldiers as human beings......

As for the 7 princes who were watching, they were full of disdain - it was really enough to spend such a big price to comfort those lowly pawns......

……

After Marin pacified his soldiers, he strode towards the seven captured princes. Before he could get closer, Henry, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttle, exclaimed:

"Marin, I ask for aristocratic treatment, please send someone to Wolfenbitel to inform my son Henry Jr., and let him ransom me and my subordinate officers with money!"

Even after being captured, Henry, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttle, still looked down on the "lowly blood" Marin, and did not call Marin the Grand Duke at all, but by his first name.

Moreover, the payment of the ransom was not a big deal for Henry, Duke of Brunswick - Wolfenbüttle. After all, he had snatched a lot of possessions in various parts of the Beihai Country before, with a total value of more than one million gold coins.

Therefore, he felt that since he was unfortunately defeated, he would just spit out what he had eaten before. Moreover, the ransom of millions of gold coins is definitely very high in Europe. Even if the King of England was captured by Emperor Henry VI of the HRE that year, he only paid 100,000 pounds. He is a prince and duke, and he can pay 1 million gold coins, which is definitely a premium.

But where would Marin agree to such a thing? Take my money to pay the ransom? Didn't wake up?

So, Marin rejected him directly:

"As I recall, it seems that we have agreed on a national duel at the Imperial Council of Worms. Now, you have lost this duel. So, your country is mine! With that, Marin smirked.

At this time, Henry, Duke of Lüneburg of Braunschweig, shouted:

"No, it doesn't count! At the beginning, it was your son Caesar who agreed with us to fight a duel, not you! So, even if you defeat us, you are not a party and have no right to annex our country! ”

The other six princes were full of ashes just now, and after listening to the words of Henry, Duke of Lüneburg, Braunschweig, they also shouted:

"Yes, you are not a duel participant! You beat us, it doesn't count! We demand redemption of ourselves! ”

Marin unhurriedly took out the prepared duel statement and said:

"Keep your eyes open - the duel written above is between the Beihai Kingdom and your vassal states, and it is not specifically stated that Caesar will face you off. So, I annex you, no problem! With that, Marin burst out laughing triumphantly.

The faces of the seven princes were immediately dead, but Henry, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfen-Bittel, said stiffly:

"Don't talk so much! My son Henry Jr. is still in Wolfenbüttel, and you may not be able to take Wolfenbüttel. As long as we can hold out until Lord Frederick and them return to their division, see how you can still swallow us? ”

"Brace? How does your son hold on? Your elite men and horses have all been brought to the North Sea Country by you, with only a few regular soldiers and a group of farmers at home. Who can hinder me from taking Wolfenbiter? Don't be delusional! Marin said dismissively.

"Hmph, my son has a lot of money. As long as you spend money, you can always hire enough mercenaries......"

"Now the mercenary veterans of Germany have employers with some ability!" Marin interrupted.

"So what? Anyway, it's just defending the city. Even if you hire a novice mercenary and have a strong wall to rely on, you will not be able to break through it in a short time, and you will have no problem holding out until Lord Frederick and them return! I forgot to tell you, we are not short of money in the Duchy of Brunswick - Wolfenbüttle, and the four gates are all gates of pure iron. No matter how many artillery pieces you have, you can't do anything with the big iron gate! "With that, Henry, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfen-Bittel, was triumphant.

Marin smiled mysteriously:

"Iron Gate, huh? It doesn't matter, I have a way to deal with the iron gate...... "He has regia water in his hand, and he is still afraid of the iron gate?"

After a pause, Marin suddenly shouted:

"Why do you say that your son has money, and most of that money was stolen from the North Sea Country, right? Dare to take advantage of me, why are you so tired? Tell you, I'll spit out if I eat mine......"

But after drinking this, a lyric suddenly popped up in Marin's mind like nonsense-

"Please take mine and bring it back to me.

I'll spit out if I eat mine

……

Hee-hee,

Hee-he

Oooh (second sound)—"

Ma Lin's head was suddenly full of black lines, and Da Zhang Wei's "big teacher" killing Matt style suddenly floated through his mind, and it was still accompanied

The crow of the crow......

"Well, I'll spit out if I eat mine!" Marin repeats it again, and then drifts away, trying to expel the image of the "big teacher" who killed Matt in his mind......

As Marin departed, Henry, Duke of Lüneburg in Braunschweig, exclaimed:

"Let me go, my eldest brother will come to save me!" His brother-in-law, of course, was Frederick III, the leader of the princes......

……

Duke Henry's threat did not frighten Marin, but it did remind Marlin that the alliance of princes was indeed a trouble......

So Marin called Schwartz and instructed:

"You send someone to Switzerland, ask Frenzberg to take the initiative to attack, be sure to hold off the princes' coalition forces, and not let them come back!"

Marin now has only more than 20,000 people in his hands, and he is busy dividing his troops to occupy the eight vassal states, and he does not want to run into the alliance of the princes immediately. Although the alliance of princes has only tens of thousands of people, if they are ruthless, they can also make up an army of 100,000. Moreover, if the alliance of princes invited the French, Marin might not be able to bear it. Therefore, it is better to let the army of the Habsburgs entangle the allied forces of the princes and not give them the opportunity to find trouble for themselves.

Schwartz hesitated and said:

"However, Frenzberg does not have the right to decide such a big thing......

"Then find His Majesty the Emperor, anyway, he is in Innsbruck, not far from Switzerland!"

"Then what conditions do we offer?"

Marin thought for a moment and said:

"Forgive the loan debt of the Bank of Siena for 300,000 gold coins, and you should give it to him!"

300,000 gold coins is a lot of money for the emperor, but for the local tyrant Marin, it is not a big deal. If you can annex the 8 vassal states, especially the relatively wealthy Duchy of Braunschweig-Wolfenbitel and Brunswick-Lüneburg, the silver mines in Goslar and the salt mines in Lüneburg alone are far more than 300,000 gold coins.

Schwartz nodded, and soon went to send someone. In his opinion, 300,000 gold coins was enough to buy off Emperor Maximilian I. Anyway, it's not that he wants to fight hard, it's just that he is dragging down the coalition of princes......
