Chapter 1690: The Reason for Being Hacked

As Marin expected, after the foreshadowing of the miserable selling, everyone didn't care too much about him sending people to recruit troops in southern Germany. If it had been before, he would definitely be very nervous to prevent Marin from expanding the army to do things. Some people will even link the matter of Marin's army expansion to the question of the emperor's desire to unify Germany.

And this time, Marin sold miserably first, and everyone was not so strict about his recruitment. You must know that many vassal states did not allow Marin's men to recruit soldiers or even immigrants within their borders.

This time, Marin took the opportunity of selling miserably and sent Johnny, who had a "bitter and hateful" face, as an envoy, and sent envoys to the vassal states in a low voice, in order to obtain approval for the recruitment of mountain people in the local area.

As for how many people were recruited in the end, it's hard to check......

As long as Ma Lin does not lack the heart and eyes to be like Aunt Baiyun, staring specifically at a sheep wool, but recruiting a little in this vassal state, and recruiting a little in that vassal state. It adds up, and it's not easy for people to see.

As long as the regions are scattered enough, it is difficult for those princes to make a comprehensive count. And, don't forget, Marin can also send people to privately bribe the local nobles of the vassal states to help them hide the true data.

As Marin had discovered before, the local nobles of those vassal states had long been accustomed to a two-faced way of doing things. As long as hush money is paid, they don't mind lying to their feudals. Anyway, this is not a direct betrayal, and it has nothing to do with honor and righteousness......

Moreover, for the vassal states of southern Germany, almost every country would have a surplus of population. Most of those mountain people were relocated to the mountains and forests from various estates. Because, the land of the estates in the southern region is limited and there is no need for too many serfs. And the serf family is generally not only one, and the extra children either go to the city to become apprentices to craftsmen, or they run to the mountains to survive.

Because life in the mountains was more difficult than in the manors, the nobles generally did not get taxes from the poor mountain people. At most, after they hit their prey, they were heavily taxed (since the mountains and forests were also theoretically owned by the nobility).

Therefore, the princes and local nobles of southern Germany did not care much about the whereabouts of the mountain people. Even, many nobles were worried that these fierce mountain people would fall into the grass and become robbers. When the time comes, they will be tired of sending troops to encircle and suppress, not to mention that it will be very troublesome, and it will cost a lot of money (this is the point).

If it weren't for Marin's background as an emperor, those princes were worried that Marin would join forces with the emperor to unify Germany when he became stronger, and these people would even raise their hands in favor of Marin sending people to recruit those mountain people......

……

Fortunately, Marin knows the trick of "selling miserably......

You must know that before the crossing, Marin had seen many players in the entertainment industry competitions, and they successfully won enough votes by selling miserably, and they were promoted or even won the championship. Although the routine is old, it can't stand it! Moreover, in the 16th century, this routine was not used badly......

The messenger "Unlucky Johnny" sent by Marin already has a bitter and hateful appearance, which makes people can't help but sympathize with it. Marin sent him on an envoy and sold him miserably, but the effect was not generally good.

Then, after the New Year of 1515, the hottest topic in Germany was that Marin spent a lot of money to bring in many peasant rebels to open up the wild continent, but encountered the bad luck of rebellion.

As the representative of Germany's most successful "Dick Silk Counterattack", Marin is of course extremely popular among German civilians and wandering knights. On the contrary, Marin had a bad reputation among the German princes.

It's not that Marin is not good enough, but Marin's counterattack made the princes who were born with great nobility feel threatened. If Germany has a few more Marins, how can they mix? You must know that Marin's rise to prominence has trampled on a large number of old nobles along the way. For example, the Syxner family, who were massacred by Marin, and a large number of old nobles who were forcibly relocated to Bremen......

Therefore, those old nobles usually try their best to slander Marin. Even if they understood that Marin was a prince and would not really help the emperor unify Germany. However, because of their hostility to Marin, a "counterattacking sling", the princes could not help but spread rumors and slander, saying that Marin was a loyal dog of the Habsburgs.

In other words, the princes' resistance and suppression of Marin was not entirely because he was once the emperor's subordinate. One of the very important reasons is that the naturally noble princes are very afraid of Ma Lin's counterattack. Because, the success of every sling wire means the end of at least one old-school aristocratic family......

And as "naturally noble" vested interests, how can these great nobles tolerate someone to undermine the order and stability of this world?

In their view, the inferior should honestly submit to their rule and oppression. Isn't it good for you to be a wandering knight and be a thug for our nobles? You want to be a nobleman on an equal footing with us? It's simply intolerable......

However, this reason cannot be stated publicly. Otherwise, they will cause disgust among the wandering knights who are numerous. After all, Marin was the idol and motivation of all the wandering knights in Germany. And the nobles also need these wandering knights to help them fight and keep them safe.

Therefore, they can only grasp the black spot that Marin was once the emperor's subordinate and the emperor once wanted to unify Germany, and try their best to black Marin.

All in all, it is those "noble-blooded" nobles who do not want to see the "inferior people" succeed in counterattacking. Because, this will affect the original order of society, as well as the interests of these vested interest families. That's why they went to the dead.

And even though Ma Lin is a traverser, he has never figured out this truth, and he really thinks that he is just being dragged down by the emperor.

It's no wonder that Marin is, after all, a descendant who comes from the idea that everyone is equal, and he doesn't feel inferior to others at all. Therefore, he generally did not think about the high and low of people. Even, when employing people, Marin prefers to use generals from civilian backgrounds......

And his background, as well as his penchant for using civilian generals, are very eye-catching in the eyes of the old nobles. Or rather, Marin "broke the rules".

These aristocrats do not look for the incompetence of their family's children, but only see that Marin has broken the traditional rule that "officers generally use the children of nobles".

If everyone is like this, what future will there be for those unsuccessful children of aristocratic families? Marin can be said to have set a very bad example for those old aristocrats. That is, they refuse to accept those noble children who have no ability......

Therefore, with the two "bad rules" reasons of "sling counterattack and ruining the original social order" and "refusing to accept the children of the nobles who can't make it", it is strange that those old aristocrats do not go to death......
