Under normal circumstances, the lord of Duke Ulrich could not casually arrest the people under his rule. Unless, those people break the law or resist taxes. Generally speaking, most of the peasants arrested in this era were due to tax resistance. After all, the aristocracy was poor, and the serfs were even poorer.

Of course, the nobility also had the right to arrest those peasants who dared to rebel. Even, it is possible to hang them. But there is no precedent in Europe for killing all the insurgents. At most, the leading group of people was hanged or burned to death. Most of those who followed the rebellion were either exiled or fined a large sum of money. As for the confiscation of all property or something, that's the basic operation. As for killing them all like Bai Qi, it is unlikely. Even in ancient China, which was really unscrupulous, Bai Qi's behavior was condemned.

Moreover, forgiveness is an important basic principle in Christian doctrine. But the nobles have their own way - I can't kill those who rebel with me, but I can exile them!

The Tsar, one of Europe's most brutal monarchs, was particularly fond of banishing his opponents to the cold of Siberia, where they were on the verge of freezing to death. Later, the Soviet Union also inherited this policy, and a large number of prisoners were exiled to Siberia, even the family of the last tsar.

Of course, there are also the British who do the same. At that time, after the British occupied the east coast of North America, they also regarded North America as a place of exile. The first immigrants to North America were made up of Puritans and exiles. Because they are the descendants of rebellion, the character of the old American people in later generations is very rebellious and perverse......

But for the German princes, it seemed unlikely that they would want to exile the prisoners. Because, everyone's territory is very small, and there is really no barren place to exile prisoners. Even, the peasant uprisings that have come and gone are because the land is not enough, where is the space for the exile of prisoners? And if they stay in the country, there is no surplus land to be allocated to them......

Therefore, before Marin wanted to buy those peasant rebel prisoners of war, several lords of Bryschgao actually had a headache about the disposal of those peasant prisoners of war. So, they wanted to secretly sell people to Marin.

But selling people is not legal, and it will be unlucky to spread it. Fortunately, Marin was well-informed, and immediately came up with an excuse for "exile on his behalf" and solved all the problems.

Moreover, the exile of those rebels to the wild continent where "poisonous snakes, poisonous mosquitoes, and wild beasts are rampant" can be regarded as a kind of deterrent to the peasants who dare to participate in the uprising.

Based on the scale of the previous peasant uprising, about 8,000 prime-aged peasants took part in the uprising. If you mobilize an army to wipe them out, you can get less than 8,000 prisoners of war. But Marin's appetite was great, and the Duke of Ulrich was equally not satisfied with such a "commodity".

Therefore, according to the characteristics of the peasant rebel army, which likes to coerce the peasants in the places where they pass, Marin helped the Duke of Ulrich formulate a set of poisonous plans to "lead the water to the east" and "kill people with a knife".

The so-called diversion of the troubles to the east is to use the method of blocking and driving away the peasant rebels to the place where the masterminds behind the scenes want them to go. As long as it is not in their own territory, they will do whatever they want.

And "borrowing a knife to kill" is more terrifying, these peasant rebels are not gentlemen who know how to behave, but bandits who plunder everywhere. Once they were driven to certain estates, the looting of the estates' food and wealth was a basic operation. Even, the owner of the estate could be killed.

Once the minor nobleman who was the lord of the manor was killed, then the Duke of Ulrich, as the monarch of the vassal state, had reason to take the manor for himself.

In this way, when the peasant revolt was quelled, the Duke of Ulrich could make a fortune by recovering many of the estates of the dead masters.

Moreover, all the property previously looted by the peasant rebel army will also be captured by the army of the Duke of Ulrich. Except for a small portion to the soldiers, most of it was also owned by the Duke of Ulrich.

Therefore, this peasant uprising, if the Duke of Ulrich managed it well, could have made a windfall.

The Duke of Ulrich was apparently aware of this, and so, after Kohler explained it to him, he was overwhelmed with excitement.

In the end, though, he didn't have much confidence in how to get the peasant rebels to run around as he had set them to go. After all, you first have to be able to fend off the attack of the peasant rebels. If it can't be stopped, the peasant army can go wherever it wants, and perhaps it will specifically harm Ulrich's own fiefdom estate. If you're not careful, you may get away with it and then trap yourself to death.

Fortunately, Kohler made a statement on behalf of Marin and expressed his willingness to send 7,000 mercenaries to the Duchy of Württemberg as ordinary mercenaries. Defensive fortresses were then built on the border of Duke Ulrich's own fiefdom to prevent peasant rebels from entering the duke's own fiefdom. Of course, it is also necessary to take into account the interests of the nobles under the duke's cronies. Then, as for the interests of the other nobles, the Duke of Ulrich said - I will let him die......

Moreover, the more unlucky the nobles who were not on the right path with him, the happier he was. Because, most of the benefits lost by those unlucky nobles end up to him......

After the two sides reached an agreement, Kohler rushed back without stopping.

According to the agreement reached between the two sides, after Kohler returned, he would send 7,000 elite soldiers to build a bunker similar to a noble turret in the border area of the Duke of Ulrich's fiefdom to guard the security of the Duke's private domain. Of course, there will also be some people who will help to guard the fiefdoms of the duke's close ministers and the nobles who support the duke.

At the same time, the Duke of Ulrich would organize his nobles to gather troops and horses in the territory and drive out the peasant rebels according to the plan. caused the peasant rebels to flow along the route he had set, and to plague the territories of the nobles who were not on the same path as the duke......

In the end, the end was - the peasant army followed the route predetermined by the duke, scourging the petty nobles and landlords along the way, but in the end they were "blackened and blackened" by the Duke of Ulrich. Marin, on the other hand, got tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people as he wished, and used them to develop the American colonies.

According to Marin's estimates, after this uprising, he will be able to get at least tens of thousands of immigrants. With these people, he will not only develop the land of New Jersey in the future. He could have expanded inland to the west, or he could establish colonies in other coastal areas.

However, in order to prevent the colony from being interfered with by others, Marin preferred to settle these tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of immigrants on the coastal line, so as to achieve the goal of completely controlling the eastern coast of the United States in the future, and not giving other countries a chance to see the needle.

But the North American colonies were so large that tens of thousands of people couldn't make any waves. So, Marin made up his mind - this time he would find a way to get more than 100,000 people from the Duchy of Württemberg anyway, even if it was at a high price.

But as soon as he made up his mind, he realized a serious problem - it seemed that he didn't have much money in his hand......

Of course, this is not to say that Marin is poor. Marin was rich, but most of his possessions were in the form of grain and liquor. Marin was eager to sell all of this possessions and exchange them for cash. However, the amount of gold and silver in Europe was limited, and a large amount of money was spent every year on the purchase of Indian spices and other goods from the Middle East. Therefore, Europe is now in a shortage of money. Similarly, Marin is now suffering from a shortage of money.

Just like this purchase of the population, although Marin only needs to pay less than half of the cash, the rest is offset by grain and other goods. However, if the total population reaches more than 100,000, the total transaction volume may reach 1 million or hundreds of thousands of gold coins. Even if less than half of them need to be paid in cash, it will be hundreds of thousands of gold coins in cash......

To be honest, it's not like Marin can't afford to spend so much money. Instead, after taking out this money, I don't have much cash in my hands. As a large country of more than 2 million people, why does the imperial court have no money in its hands? So, Marin felt - what a lack of money......
