After discussing the plan, Marin did not send troops in time, but waited for some days. He was mostly waiting for the arrival of those iron shackles.

At the same time, in addition to the 25,000 pairs of iron shackles, Marin also commissioned local carpenters to create some wooden shackles (connected by thick ropes), mainly to restrict the movement of the less dangerous ordinary infantry. As for the folks, Marin didn't use shackles because they didn't need to.

At the beginning of June, after the arrival of iron and wooden shackles, Marin released the prisoners of war who were being held in the compound. Then, 5,000 soldiers and 5,000 soldiers with military training, armed with spears, guarded the 73,000 prisoners of war, including 28,000 people, and sent them to the northern part of Münster to be guarded. After consulting with Bishop Conrad, they would enter the southern part of Münster to take part in the excavation of the canal. At present, only a small part of the canal connecting the Emes and Lipper rivers on the edge of Münster has been dug. The 73,000 prisoners of war came just in time to take over the excavation of the canal.

Of course, it's not just the excavation of canals. These prisoners of war were also able to take part in road construction to facilitate transportation in the Marin-controlled area. For ancient Europe, the easiest place for rulers to control was naturally the area reached by the Roman road. Such areas are often easier to control because they are easily accessible by imperial forces. And in those areas where transportation is difficult, the influence of the ruler is often weakened. Not to mention the 16th century, even in the 21st century, those inaccessible ravines, official requirements may not be fully implemented.

Therefore, for Marin, if he wants to completely control the huge territory, the construction of roads is indispensable. It is rare that there are 73,000 free laborers now, and although the food consumption is large, it is impossible to stand up to the wages. Marin could have taken this opportunity to build a few more roads and dig a few more irrigation canals.

It just so happens that the northern part of Münster, the area under the control of Marin, is now short of roads and irrigation canals. These laborers can completely build roads and canals in the past, develop these areas, and also allow Marin's influence and dominance to reach smoothly.

……

After sending away those prisoners of war, Marin now had 30,000 main forces and 500 scout cavalry left. In addition, there were 10,000 people who came from the mainland and 15,000 people who were rescued from the Duchy of Schleswig.

However, such a lineup is enough to bully Denmark. Moreover, among these people, those who came from the local area, they were actually trained in the military. Although it does not meet the standard of a soldier, it is barely a militia.

Therefore, Marin distributed 10,000 captured spears to 10,000 people from the local area, and let them serve as soldiers.

The entourage soldiers composed of these people, because they had received military training for a short time, walked in the queue without ambiguity. Turn left and right, also skilled. Judging from their appearances alone, there are people who believe that they are regular soldiers. As long as they don't really fight, no one can tell that they are militiamen......

As for the logistics and transportation, Marin was completely handed over to the 15,000 people sent by the Duchy of Schleswig. Although they have no combat experience, they have only received a few days of queue training. However, after all, it is Minzhuang, and he is the best at transportation......

In this way, Marin's army, although it has taken 5,000 main forces, but because of the addition of 10,000 people's strong soldiers, it looks like an army of 40,000, which is very bluffing. Of course, those soldiers composed of strong people do not have simple armor made of "mahjong mats". Because, Marlin was prepared for them in advance. Therefore, they just put on a simple black cross vest on a white background, even if they were used as soldiers. And these black cross vests on a white background are also the props used by those strong men in the original Principality of Schleswig to pretend to be the main reinforcements, and they do not need to be made separately......

The road to the north was very smooth, because both the Duchy of Holstein and the Duchy of Schleswig belonged to their territory.

After arriving in Schleswig, the remaining Mikel palace minister told Marin that the Danish Crown Prince Christian was still recuperating at Wade Castle near Esbjerg......

At this time, Esbjerg was not an important port city in later generations, but only a small fishing village. To the north of it, Wald, is a fortified castle.

General Maxim sent a man to the port west of the city of Ribe to bring the poisoned Prince Christian aboard the ship, because the prince was too weak to travel for a long time. So, the boat docked in the small fishing village of Esbjerg a little to the north.

After General Maxim had fled to the fishing village of Esbjerg with more than 2,000 remnants of his army, he continued north with the seriously ill Prince Christian and arrived at Wade Castle. At this time, the extremely weak Prince Christian could no longer withstand the toss, so he had to stay at Wader Castle to recuperate. And General Maximi, with more than 2,000 remnants, was stationed here to defend and wait for Prince Christian to recover.

It's a pity that Prince Christian is Europa's first strange poison - Canterella. Although most of the toxins are vomited out after getting drunk, some of the toxins still penetrate deep into the bone marrow and are difficult to remove. So, Prince Christian could not move at all. Otherwise, you will die halfway through.

In addition, General Maxim's cavalry reported that the enemy's army had already moved south to Lübeck to join the battle, so General Maxim simply stopped and waited for the prince to get better before leaving.

As a confidant of Prince Christian, General Maxim knew very well - Saxony and Brandenburg had gathered 50,000 troops this time, including 20,000 Swiss mercenaries with great combat power. Therefore, General Maxim believes that the more than 10,000 enemy troops are also delivering food even if they go south. Therefore, he is not worried about the enemy coming again. Even, he expects the Bossa coalition to go north and join them......

It's a pity that Maxim was wrong. He did wait for tens of thousands of troops, but not from the Bossa coalition, but from Marin......

Besieged by an army of thirty or forty thousand in the small Wade Castle, Maxim was immediately confused......

The bombardment of a dozen 18-pounder short-barreled Cullen guns soon blasted a hole in the gates of Wader Castle. Then the demolition team stepped forward and blew up the gate. Then, more than 2,000 remnants of the castle, except for a few who resisted stubbornly, most of them obediently surrendered...... After all, these soldiers are just recruits who have been in the army for less than a year, and they are not perverts possessed by the god of war, and it is impossible for more than 2,000 people to beat Marin's 30,000 or 40,000 people. In the face of tens of thousands of enemy troops, surrendering is the most correct way to save your life......

Surrounded by bodyguards, Marin came to the luxurious suite where Crown Prince Christian was recuperating and saw Prince Christian......

You know, Prince Christian is only 23 years old, and he is at the age of youth and invincibility. It's a pity that under the poison of "Canterella", Prince Christian is already bald. Moreover, his face was haggard, and his mouth was toothless, as if he were a dying old man who was about to die......

Seeing Marin come in with a large group of armored guards, Prince Christian knew that something was wrong. It's a pity that he is weak now, and it is difficult to turn over, so he is too lazy to make any expressions......

Marin looked at the hapless Prince Christian, embarrassed, and a little guilty......

Previously, he had sent people to poison Prince Christian, mainly to prevent him from marrying Catherine of Aragon, causing an alliance between Denmark and Spain.

However, now that Catherine is dead, there is no need for Prince Christian to die......

Looking at Prince Christian, who was about to die, Marin saluted and said:

"Your Highness, Marin. Feng. Hello Hoffmann! ”

After a pause, Marin added:

"Also, Your Highness, you have been captured!"
