For a moment, Marin wanted to emulate the Ottoman Turkish system of "blood tribute" and plunder white European boys other than the Germans. Or, spend a fortune to buy children from the turf of the Turks in the Balkans, and then, raise them to be German-speaking Catholics......

However, thinking of the tragic scenes of the separation of mother and son described by a certain Nobel Prize-winning writer in later generations, Marin suddenly felt a little unbearable. In the article, when the Turks savagely snatched the children from the women of the Balkans, the anguished mothers could not help but shout:

"Ladai, my son, do not forget your mother!"

"Ilya! Elias! Elias! "Another Serb woman desperately searched for her son with her eyes, trying to remember what he looked like......

However, these grief-stricken mothers did not know that the children, after being taken to Istanbul, would be circumcised and converted from Orthodox Christianity to Islam and brainwashed into forgetting the past. When they returned to Europe, they became ruthless executioners who raised butcher knives against their compatriots......

Thinking of this, Marin dismissed his plan to go to the Balkans and grab the "blood tribute" with the Turks. However, Marin has not completely given up on this path. For example, on the Crimean side, they plundered the Rus' anyway. Among them, there are children.

So, even if Marin doesn't buy those little hairy people and little hairy girls, they will be bought by the Turks who like to buy slaves. So, Marin made up his mind - determined to take all the predatory children of the Crimeans into account, male and female. As long as he is healthy, he wants it all. Anyway, this kind of transaction doesn't cost much, and Marin doesn't need to use cash, as long as he gives enough spirits, he can get enough children.

Rather than let those hairy children become killers or playthings of the Turks, it is better to let Marin buy them and educate them to become Germanized farmers. After all, there is too little talent for the development of the Americas......

……

In addition, Marin also decided to accept the tens of thousands of Hungarian prisoners of war. As long as they are honest and willing to learn German and integrate into the society of the North Sea Kingdom, Marin intends to give them the status of ordinary citizens. Of course, Marin will definitely not allow them to gather together, but will scatter them all over the North Sea Country. Once they were unable to form clusters, they were unable to preserve their traditions and had to integrate into Beihai society.

Moreover, the Kingdom of Hungary itself was more Germanized. While the average Magyars may have been less Germanized, the Hungarian nobility was heavily Germanized. Since their defeat by Otto the Great, the Magyars have learned from the Germans, settled down, and started farming. Many Hungarian nobles have changed from tribal leaders to German lords and embraced German culture. Therefore, it is not too difficult to manage those Hungarian prisoners of war with German culture. Because, in their own country, they are accustomed to the rule of this German-style aristocracy.

The only problem is probably the language. In response to this, Marin had already thought of a countermeasure - first send all Hungarian prisoners of war to the mines of Goslar to mine. Then, every night someone was sent to teach them German. And it's hard and fast – whoever learns German can get out of the dangerous pit and become a comfortable farmer. If you can't learn, continue to stay in the mine and risk your life......

Under this strong stimulus of life and death, they don't have to worry about learning German without working hard......

……

Just when Marin was racking his brains and worrying about the affairs of the population, the time entered June. At this time, far south in Italy, in the city of Naples, an important military meeting was underway......

"Have you found out? Is the Spanish army now fiercely infighting? Louis XII asked solemnly.

Count Durt, who was in charge of intelligence, nodded earnestly:

"Yes, Your Majesty, for more than two months, in the Spanish camp outside the city, 5 high-ranking Spanish nobles are about to fight for control of tens of thousands of troops!"

Louis XII said with a beaming face:

"Is it really that intense?"

Count Durt nodded earnestly:

"It's so intense!"

"Tell me more about ......," Louis XII and several other French nobles looked at Count Durte expectantly.

Count Durte took out a piece of paper full of information and read:

"In the Spanish camp in the past two months, the Duke of Cabrera and the Duke of Domingo, in order to compete for the dominance of the army, kept courting the middle and senior officers in the army. At the same time, three counts who served as adjutants were also recruited - Count Emene, Count Scudo and Count López. ”

"However, the three counts seem to have other plans. They can't compete with the two dukes, and they can't get their hands on the supreme command. However, the three of them formed a small group, and they were also courting officers to enhance their voice in the army......"

"Now, whenever the Spanish army holds a military meeting, the scene is extremely hot. It is said that if one of the two dukes came up with an idea, the other party would inevitably lead a group of officers who had taken refuge in him, whether right or wrong. And the three counts, with the group of people they had wooed, watched the show on the wall......"

……

Louis XII was stunned when he heard this:

"Is it all that serious?"

Count Durt nodded solemnly......

At this time, John. Raffi stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, this is our great opportunity!"

Charles, the former Duke of Guedes and now Count of Nantes, also nodded in agreement:

"It's a good opportunity, and the odds are good at this time. And we don't have much to eat......"

……

The judgment of the Spaniards is not all nonsense, the French have tens of thousands of troops in the city, and there are many food consumption worthy of five strong men's war horses, and the food consumption is naturally extremely amazing. Even though the French had been well prepared and had driven out all the inhabitants of the city, the rate of food consumption was still astonishing, somewhat beyond expectations.

According to the quartermaster's estimate, there will be a month and a half at most, and the French army's food will bottom out. When the time comes, if you don't break through, you will die......

The main difference between the Spaniards and the French is the number of people. The Spaniards believed that the French army of 50,000 or 60,000 men had at least 30,000 or 40,000 men in the city. But in reality, Louis XII listened to John. Rafi's suggestion was to leave only 10,000 men to assist in defending the city, so the food consumption was much lower than the Spaniards had estimated.

According to the predictions of the Spaniards, the French should have begun to run out of food at this time. Therefore, in the past few days, the theme of the quarrel in the Spanish camp is to strengthen the defense and prevent the French army from breaking through at the risk of death. It's just that because the factional dispute is too intense, many things have been delayed.

But at the insistence of the Duke of Domingo, the Spanish army dug more than a dozen trenches in the open space north of the city of Naples, but did not send a large army to garrison it. Mainly, to prevent the French cavalry from breaking through to the north.

These dozen trenches are full of wooden stakes. As soon as the French forced a breakthrough, the cavalry could easily fall into the trenches. Then, the war horse was pierced through the abdomen......

……

However, the Spaniards did not know that this time the French were planning to break through with their whole army. In order to break through the blockade of these trenches, the French dug up a lot of earth in the city and put it in bags, which were carried by the more than 10,000 people left in the city. Once out of the city, the men would fill the dozen or so trenches with bags full of dirt to facilitate the passage of the army......

However, although the time for the breakthrough had already been set, the French did not strike immediately, but waited a little longer...... Until......

"The time is ripe!" John. When Lafite saw the clouds in the sky, he immediately stood up and went to Louis XII......
