300,000 gold coins is really a small meaning for Marin. Not to mention going to the eight vassal states to raid the homes, even if you go to Bremen to raid the homes of those rebellious old nobles, you can take out far more than 300,000 gold coins.

You must know that this time, there are as many as 100 old aristocratic families in Bremen Province who participated in the rebellion, accounting for most of the aristocratic families in Bremen Province.

These aristocratic families, even if each family can only confiscate the property of a few thousand gold coins, hundreds of aristocratic families can also confiscate hundreds of thousands of gold coins. But Marin estimates that it may be more than that. Because, those baron families, no matter what they say, they must have a property worth tens of thousands of gold coins. Only those knight families will only have a wealth worth a few thousand gold coins......

Therefore, the matter of providing the emperor with another 300,000 gold coins is really just a trivial matter. And Maximilian I probably knew it, but if you confiscate two Duchy of Brunswick, I am afraid that you will be able to get hundreds of thousands of gold coins. Therefore, he dared to open his mouth and ask for a loan of 300,000 gold coins.

In fact, Marin asked the Habsburgs to hold back the coalition of princes, not at all because he was not afraid of fighting with him when the coalition of princes returned. But......

Marin actually planned to take advantage of this critical moment to force the alliance of princes to admit that he had annexed 8 vassal states......

Under normal circumstances, even if Marin occupies 8 vassal states, the princes may not be willing to recognize Marin's occupation of 8 vassal states, even if there is a duel book.

The princes could have made excuses and denied the duel. For example, it was signed on the premise that Marin was dead......

In short, it was easy for Marin to occupy those 8 vassal states, but it was extremely difficult to gain the recognition of the Imperial Princes' Court......

In particular, Henry, Duke of Lüneburg, was the brother-in-law of Frederick III, Elector of Saxony, the leader of the princes......

Therefore, Marin did not want the alliance of princes to withdraw from Switzerland and prevent him from occupying the eight princely states at this juncture. Although Marin was confident that he would defeat the other side, the princes would never be reconciled. Moreover, he would never be willing to admit his occupation of the 8 vassal states.

Therefore, Marin thought of a way - first let the Habsburg army drag the alliance of princes, and then occupy the 8 vassal states himself, creating an established fact. Subsequently, he threatened the alliance of princes, saying that he would send troops south to attack them with the Habsburgs, and completely wipe out the alliance of princes......

Although it is impossible for Marin to really send troops to destroy the alliance of princes, the princes do not know. They're going to be really scared......

Because, if the alliance of the princes is really defeated and a large number of princes are captured, then it will be really difficult for the princes to stop the Habsburgs from unifying Germany......

When the time comes, these princes will have to compromise and pinch their noses and admit Marin's occupation of the eight vassal states. As long as the Imperial Princes' Court recognized the legitimacy of Marin's occupation of the eight vassal states at that time, even if the princes regretted it in the future, Marin would not be afraid. Even, he wished that the princes would regret it, just to give him the opportunity to send troops......

Therefore, it is very important to let the Habsburgs hold back the alliance of the princes now. If the alliance of princes is not in danger of being flanked, those princes will not give in.

What the? You say French intervention?

Now King Louis XII of France has been completely fooled by the volcanic ash fertilizer matter, and is going all out to prepare for a new round of Italian hegemony war. At this juncture, it was impossible for the French to turn against Austria and the North Sea States at the same time for the sake of the affairs of the German princes......

Why? Because of the hegemony of Italy, the French had to face the strong Spain. Spain is so strong now that the French have to give it their all to have a chance of victory. At this time, it would be very unwise to provoke the Habsburgs and the North Sea Kingdom of Marin. At most, they will only put on a show, scare and scare the Habsburgs and Marin, and will not really go all out to send troops to participate in the Swiss hegemony.

As long as the French did not intervene with all their might, Marin was confident enough to force the princes into submission. Then, it's time to get the support of those church princes.

This is also easy, and most of the princes of the church are greedy for money. As long as you are willing to spend money, plus let the pope's father-in-law help put pressure, you don't have to worry about no one supporting you......

……

Immediately after seeing off the contented Emperor Chabi, Marin led a large army out of the city of Oldenburg and went to the eastern province of Bremen, where he raided his home......

The betrayal of the 100 old nobles will not be forgiven. Marin was worried that there was no excuse to move them, but he didn't expect them to raise troops to rebel.

Generally speaking, the nobles who raise troops to rebel generally end up very badly. At the very least, it's a murderous crime. Then, the family property is confiscated, which is also a basic operation. This is still in Europe, if it was in ancient China, this would be a major crime of rebellion, but it would punish the nine clans!

Of course, Marin is now a European nobleman, and it is impossible to punish those nobles according to the Chinese method. Anyway, killing those responsible, and then, imprisoning their families, is pretty much the same.

The most important thing is that the fiefs and manors of the 100 old nobles, Marin can all take back this time!

This is the fiefdom of 100 nobles! Even the smallest knight family, each family's fiefdom has at least 1,000 acres of arable land. If there are hundreds of households, there are at least 100,000 acres of cultivated land......

That's still the minimum, if you count the baronial families...... In short, it is estimated that the total cultivated land area of the confiscated fief this time can reach more than 5 or 600,000 mu......

These lands can be used to reward the new aristocracy. It just so happened that Marin was planning to reward the upstarts who had won the battle this time. No, the land is vacated......

Of course, Marin has no plans to promote the new fertilizer in Bremen for the time being. Therefore, those recovered estates may be used to house the old nobles of the 8 captured vassal states......

For example, the seven captured princes were more suitable to be placed in the province of Bremen. Because, this side is convenient to control......

……

When the army departed, Heynckes "just happened" to catch up with the Sixth Army, which was dominated by Scottish Highland infantry. It just so happened that Marin put the Sixth Army as the vanguard, all the way into Bremen Province, to raid the homes of the old nobles who participated in the rebellion......

The old aristocracy is the old aristocrat, with a strong background......

At the beginning, in order to comply with the unspoken rules of Europe, Marin did not dare to touch the old aristocratic families who did not resist, but only replaced their territories and concentrated them in the province of Bremen.

Therefore, Marin did not send people to loot the family wealth of these old nobles at the beginning. If it was in their original old manor, those gold and silver treasures that were used as family funds, Marin was really hard to find.

However, after moving to Bremen, the movements of these old nobles were actually monitored to a certain extent. In this way, those old nobles who want to build new treasure places will leave clues.

In addition, after experiencing the Battle of Siena, Marin's soldiers had a lot of experience in finding the secret room where the treasure was hidden.

For example, this time, the veterans under Marin's command who had participated in the raid on the city of Siena were behind the bookshelves and behind the statues of the gods in the new houses of those old nobles...... Even near the latrine, a lot of hidden treasures were found in secret rooms......

Then, a large amount of gold and silver treasures were confiscated. After the centralized inventory, Marin was surprised to find that these more than 100 rebellious veteran nobles actually hid gold and silver treasures worth more than one million gold coins, with an average of tens of thousands of gold coins per family......

"It's really worthy of an old aristocratic family, and the family background is thick!" Marin sighed.

It's no wonder that my D's army liked to fight local tyrants and divide the land, and the land was distributed to the poor, which won the hearts of the people and the source of soldiers. And fight the local tyrants...... I'm sure I'll be able to save enough for the military...... Especially the local tyrant family that has been inherited for a long time, the family background must be very thick......
