Hearing the news, Marin was in a bad mood. Then, in the previous life, the memory of the Eight-Nation Coalition forcing "My Great Qing" to pay 450 million taels of silver in compensation will always unconsciously come to mind.

In his previous life, Marin had actually been very strange about why there was a clear powder. It's good to talk about Ming fans, after all, the Ming Dynasty has not lost much foreign wars. And the Qing Dynasty ...... In the early stage, Kang Mazi Yongzheng era was fine, but in the later stage, it was called a miserable, and the whole of China was pressed to the ground and rubbed and insulted...... Ma Lin couldn't figure out why some people would miss "I Daqing......

Of course, he is not a Ming fan (the Ming Dynasty died by himself), and he is not particularly hostile to the Qing Dynasty. But to tell the truth, the Qing Dynasty did lose the face of China, and it was not able to recover it until the 21st century. Before Ma Lin's rebirth, Huaxia was still trying to grow its face internationally, just to make up for the huge loss of face lost by the Qing Dynasty.

However, although they are all called the "Eight-Nation Alliance", Marin did not take this army seriously. Especially the last country to be added in Rietberg, that is, a small country at the township level. This kind of goods is here to give away people's heads...... No, I'm here to deliver land. But Marin still disliked that Ritbergberg was too small, only a small place of one or two hundred square kilometers, equivalent to a larger township, so Marin was not interested in moving them.

But no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and since the Rietberg family wants to die, Marin doesn't mind fulfilling it. Moreover, the state of Rietbergberg was located next to the southeastern border of the Bishopric of Münster, and it was easy to administer if annexed. Therefore, Marin is also "disrespectful"......

……

In fact, Marin was overjoyed when he heard that Bishop Conrad had deliberately separated three-quarters of the property of the church in South Münster in order to hollow out the South Münster region. Because, Bishop Conrad did what he wanted to do, but he had a lot of scruples.

Although most of this property will be snatched by this so-called "Eight-Nation Alliance", that is not a problem. As long as Marin destroys all the 8 vassal states, he will be able to get them all back.

Moreover, what made Marin happiest the most was the land issue. Most of the church's land was separated from the church by Bishop Conrad, who was bent on "digging his own walls", which saved Marin a lot of trouble. Although Bishop Conrad dug the walls of the church to cheapen himself and his allies. But in fact, in the end, it was Marlin who was cheaper. After all, according to the legal documents, three-quarters of the ecclesiastical lands in the South Münster region were now owned by Marin. Speaking of which, Marin wants to thank Bishop Conrad......

Of course, gratitude does not exist. After all, Bishop Conrad colluded with the princes of the Seven Kingdoms to seize the inheritance of the Beihai Kingdom, which was an unforgivable sin.

So, Marin sentenced Bishop Conrad to death......

……

Previously, Marin had already arranged for Bishop Conrad to die-......

Moreover, the relevant intelligence officers have long been in place, just waiting for Marin to give an order.

"Let's get started, give Bishop Conrad more rejuvenating medicine, and make sure that the old man goes 'happy' to God." Marin instructed Kohler.

"Okay, I'll arrange it!"

Then, a few secret letters were quietly sent to the south. These secret letters all use the simplest Morse code, and the letters are full of Arabic numerals, which ordinary people can't read.

It should be pointed out that although Arabic numerals are also popular in Europe at present, Arabic numerals are not dominant. For example, coins of this era had Roman numerals, not Arabic numerals.

Strictly speaking, the copper coin of the North Sea Kingdom, which Marin ordered to be minted, was the first coin in European Christendom to use Arabic numerals. Because, Marin engraved the year "1508" on the brass coin, which is somewhat similar to the coins of later generations. But in this era, the numbers on European currencies are basically Roman numerals.

Arabic numerals really crowded out Roman numerals and became dominant in Europe, or after the rise of Protestantism, mathematics began to erupt without the pressure of the church. Because of the ease of calculation, Arabic numerals squeezed out the status of Roman numerals.

Moreover, Arabic numerals were also introduced to China very early, not in modern times, as described in those traversals. In fact, during the Yuan Dynasty, Arabic numerals were transmitted to China. However, it did not catch on.

Because, at that time, Huaxia already had an abacus that was very convenient for calculation, and there was no need to use Arabic numerals. Also, Arabic numerals are easy to do on drafts. But the question is - paper was very expensive in ancient times, where was it as cheap and popular as paper in later generations? Do you try to do the math on rice paper? It's a loser's thing, it's weird if you don't break your leg......

The abacus is not only convenient, but also does not consume expensive paper. If it's just addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, you don't need Arabic numerals at all. Only by doing more complex mathematical calculations can the superiority of Arabic numerals be revealed. However, ancient Chinese mathematics was not developed, and there was no need for the convenience of Arabic numerals. Therefore, it cannot be popular.

Therefore, it is a bit of nonsense that the Arabic numerals mentioned in those words will kill all sides as soon as they appear. In ancient times, you used a blank pen and paper to try to calculate? This is as luxurious as wiping your butt with rice paper, or is it more cost-effective to use an abacus...... Of course, if you promote modern papermaking and keep the cost of paper down, you can use white paper and pencil to calculate. Otherwise, using white paper to calculate Arabic numerals is something that only ancient tyrants can do......

……

However, Marin was aware of the superiority of Arabic numerals. Moreover, he also took out middle school math textbooks. Therefore, Arabic numerals are naturally very useful. Coupled with the fact that Marin had created cheap paper on Cape Breton Island, he had no problem promoting Arabic numerals in the North Sea Country.

And the spies of the North Sea Kingdom naturally have learned the mathematics of Arabic numerals, and they all know Arabic numerals. Then, each of them had a codebook in their hands. Then refer to a certain book, or Bible. According to the number number, find the words of the corresponding row and column, and translate the whole information, it's that simple......

……

After the news arrived, the North Sea State spies in the city of Münster received an order to "start the operation". Then, the spies lurking in the Münster Cathedral moved......

"Lord Bishop, this is the milk tea you wanted!" Walter, an intelligence officer of the North Sea Nation, respectfully offered a cup of milk tea with a rejuvenating drug to Bishop Conrad......

At the same time, the concubine nun of Bishop Conrad, named Alice, also drank the drink with ingredients......

Soon Bishop Conrad and Sister Alice, who had come to feel the feeling, began to rise up in Bishop Conrad's secret room......

At first, the spies didn't add much material, but they were afraid that Bishop Conrad would be finished before he could do it. However, in the secret room, there is a teapot with spiced tea in it. Moreover, it is an overdose......
