After tricking John V into signing an unequal treaty, Marin was in a good mood. Moreover, the news of Farrell's surrender soon came www.biquge.info.

Only Yevre's side is not too smooth, and Adler doesn't have a good way to deal with Yevre Castle. Because, he has neither heavy artillery nor a demolition team under his command.

In desperation, Adler had no choice but to leave 500 elite soldiers to continue the siege. Then, with 1,500 elite soldiers, he went directly to Oldenburg and took over the turf.

The reason for this is Marin's previous arrangement. In the plan, after Marin conquered Oldenburg, he would continue to march east with a large army to join Schwarz in the Duchy of Holstein. Then, together with the great army, they marched north, gradually uprooting the cities and fortresses that had not yet been conquered. Because, the heavy artillery is in Marin's army.

The 2,000 militia led by Adler, although it was a militia, had been training much longer and more elite than Marin's newly recruited recruits. It's just that these people usually have to plough the land, and only when manpower is tight, Marin will choose to recruit them. In peacetime, Marin still chooses to use mercenaries who are out of work. In this way, agricultural production will not be affected.

However, because Saxony sent more than 10,000 people, there was actually no shortage of serfs in Marin's hands. In addition, Marin has twenty or thirty thousand cattle in his hands, and the animal power is extremely abundant. Therefore, these 7,000 militiamen, even if they do not participate in spring ploughing, will not delay the agricultural time. It was only during the autumn harvest that these militias had to be involved, because they could not use animal power and could only harvest by manpower. Otherwise, if there is heavy rain during the autumn harvest, it will be over.

In fact, these 7,000 militias were recruited and organized when the Syxner family ruled East Friesland. After Marin occupied the East Friesian Lambert Kingdom, in order to control this huge army, he specially killed all the minor nobles who had ruled these militias, leaving them leaderless. Marin then aggressively promoted his own and the followers of the former Bullock family (Marin's grandfather's family) to be the commanders of this militia. Even, the elder Hoffman directly became the supreme leader of these 7000 militias. In this way, the officers of this militia have become their own people. In addition, Marin has been treating the people well in recent years, especially the bread is enough, which is much stronger than during the reign of the Syxner family. Therefore, after a few years, the common people of East Friesian Lamb have basically returned to their hearts. These militias are also from the people, and naturally they are basically all in the heart.

Although, after several years of intermittent training, this militia army is much more effective than the recruits. However, Marin considered that the security of the East Friesian Lamberan homeland was also very important. Therefore, Marin's choice was to use the regular army to defend the homeland in peacetime. In the event of a large-scale national war, when the regular army needs to leave the border, these militias are called up for the defense of the country. In this way, Marin can also rest assured that he will go out with a large army without worrying that the lair will be taken away.

This time was no exception, with Marin leading a large army to go on the march, the domestic defense work was naturally handed over to the 7,000 militiamen.

Moreover, after taking the Earl of Oldenburg, Marin also needed to leave enough troops to garrison. Otherwise, the petty nobles of this place will start a rebellion and let Marin's efforts be in vain.

Therefore, Marin chose to let the brave Adler, with 1,500 elite militiamen, stationed in Oldenburg to monitor those local nobles and prevent them from rebelling. At the same time, Adler was also in charge of the supervision and surveillance of the members of the Oldenburg family.

When Adler arrived in Oldenburg with 1,500 militia elites, Marin immediately handed over the defense of Oldenburg to Adler.

However, before leaving, in order to prevent the rebellion of the rural nobles of the Earl of Oldenburg, in order to appease the people, Marin posted a notice expressing his willingness to swear that he would never kill any local nobles if the local nobles did not resist.

This is mainly due to the fact that when Marin occupied the East Friesian Lamber, he almost killed all the local minor nobles. Marin feared that the Elder Lordenburg Legislators, fearing that they would end up in the same fate as the former Legislators of East Friesian Lamb, and rebelled.

Marin is now in a hurry to beat Denmark, so naturally he doesn't have time to pay attention to these little country nobles of Oldenburg. But they were worried that they would make trouble for Adler. So, Marin posted a notice and expressed his attitude that he would not kill people indiscriminately this time.

In fact, Marin did this in order to consider the question of future rule. The affairs of the East Friesian Lamber, it is enough to do it once. If you do too much, your reputation will stink. Moreover, if you kill all the local nobles every time you occupy a country, the next time you attack any country, you will be met with desperate resistance from the other nobles. Because, if you don't resist, you will die, and if you resist, you will die, so it's better to fight. In this case, Marin will face great difficulties.

Therefore, Marin decided not to raise a butcher's knife again in the future when he conquered any country. He decided to follow Prussia's example of unifying Germany - simply depriving the local nobility of the right to rule, but retaining their titles.

And the Earl of Oldenburg is the first "model" area that Marin intends to build. Only if the local nobles who do not resist are treated well, and when Marin fights to other countries in the future, the nobles in those places will be willing to surrender. Otherwise, they will stumble to the end and cause great trouble for Marin.

Of course, Marlin is not a good stubble. When the dust settled, Marin planned to deprive the nobles of Oldenburg of the right to manage their farmland. However, Marin would pay these nobles enough rent for what they were now producing from their farmland......

For example, the rye fields of the present Count of Oldenburg yield less than 150 pounds per acre. The aristocracy's harvest from the manor was about less than 100 pounds per acre. When the time comes, Marlin can fully pay them a fixed income of 100 pounds of rye per acre. However, when the control of these estates was in the hands of Marin, it was different. With the help of manure blocks, the yield of local rye per mu can reach four or five hundred pounds per acre. And the extra production is Marin's own.

In this way, the interests of the native nobility of Oldenburg were not damaged. And Marin, because of its advanced production technology, can also harvest more after getting the management rights of those lands. It can be said that this is a win-win situation.

As for the native aristocrats, Marin plans to build a new city in the future, a casino like Las Vegas. Various entertainment facilities and establishments were built in the city for the amusement of the nobles. After that, these nobles sat in the casino every day to eat, drink and have fun. And their original land will send a fixed income every year, and the rent of 100 pounds of rye per acre of land is enough for them to be chic...... And these Oldenburg nobles, after being corrupted, will also slowly degenerate, and even become waste. When the time comes, they will not be able to pose any threat to Marin......

After solving the problem of the defense of the Earl of Oldenburg, Marin led the army and continued eastward. The army first collected boats, built a pontoon bridge over the Weser River, and entered the territory of the Archbishopric of Bremen (which was not the same as the Hanseatic city of Bremen).

Although very unhappy, the Archbishopric of Bremen resisted Marin's army of more than 10,000 by force, and could only watch them cross the border. Fortunately, Marin's army was highly disciplined and did not offend the people along the way. Even the 3,000 mercenaries hired by Hamburg, under the watchful eye of Marin's army, did not dare to plunder the people along the way, which made the Archbishopric of Bremen breathe a sigh of relief.

When more than 10,000 troops arrived on the west bank of the Elbe, Hamburg on the other side of the river learned the news and sent hundreds of merchant ships to build a huge pontoon bridge with a length of 3 kilometers on the wide lower Elbe River, so that Marin's army quickly crossed the wide river of the lower Elbe River, and soon arrived at Glückstadt, the capital of the Duchy of Holstein, also on the east bank of the Elbe.

In this way, the 10,000 troops brought by Marin from the mainland and the 3,000 mercenaries from Hamburg, and another 10,000 mercenaries led by Schwarz and another 2,000 mercenaries from Hamburg, successfully joined forces at Glückstadt am Elbe. At this time, the total number of this coalition army reached 25,000. If the 5,000 men from Lübeck to Kiel were combined, the total number of coalition troops would reach 30,000...... In this era, an army of this size is enough to compete with any country in Europe. Except, of course, the Ottoman Turks, who sent hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn......
