Just as Marin was torn between a dilemma, he suddenly remembered that he had previously exchanged Lenzburg, the southern merchant city of the Duchy of Schleswig, for the region of Dietmarschen, which was located at the mouth of the Elbe and on the eastern shore of the North Sea, and which would later be the county of Dietmarchen. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The county of Dietmarschen, which occupies the western outlet of the Duchy of Holstein, should be a very important place, and Hamburg will not be given up so easily.

However, there was a group of fierce inhabitants in the county of Dietmarchen, who were able to crush the Danish army of more than 10,000 and almost drown the Danish king Hans......

Therefore, Hamburg, which has always been weak in the army, is a little frightened by this place...... The people of Hamburg never felt that their army was stronger than that of the Kingdom of Denmark......

In fact, although Marin found out the details of the Battle of Hemmingstedt, others may not know it. Marin was well aware that at the Battle of Hermingstedt, Dietmarshin's rebel commander Woolf Murf. Esbrand, apparently, used the method of breaking the embankment to drown the Danish army.

This kind of strategy has been used many times in ancient China. But in Europe, it's new. Moreover, in this era, because of the strength of the Holy See, Europeans were still very superstitious.

When Marin sent someone to investigate the matter, someone said that it was God's will that Hans would not be able to gain control of Dietmarchen.

To Marin's surprise, there are still many supporters of this dog P theory......

In fact, this fallacy is Woolf. Rumors quietly spread by Esbrand's faction. However, this rumor is very marketable. Why? Because it's amazing. When Dietmarshin's 1,000 militia and more than 10,000 Danish troops were fighting, a flash flood suddenly broke out and crushed the Danish army, but Dietmarshin's defenders suffered no losses...... Isn't God helping Dietmarshin, and what is it?

In order to deter the Danes from invading again, the Dittmarshin people did not mention that they sent 3,000 people to block the upper reaches of the river and dig the dikes, and blamed God for all the credit, just to frighten the Danes.

And after the defeat of the Danes, they also have to make excuses for themselves. After all, more than 10,000 troops went to attack 1,000 militiamen, and as a result, most of them were killed and wounded, and there must be a suitable excuse. You can't tell anyone that King Hans, who led the army, was a pig, right?

Therefore, for the Danes, "God prevents Denmark from getting Dietmarshin" is also a very acceptable statement. At least, King Hans will not lose his face......

And the reason why Marin was able to quickly judge from the intelligence that the Dietmarshin people had defeated Denmark with a water attack was because in his previous life he had seen too many similar battles in ancient China, and he could judge it at a glance. And the Europeans of this era have never seen such a war example, plus the Dietmarshin people confuse the public and spread rumors, and they are fooled all at once.

As a result, the people of Hamburg are very reluctant to be assigned to the Dietmarschen area. They are also afraid that Dietmarshin's "miraculous body protection" will bring huge losses to themselves if he forcibly attacks.

Therefore, after discussion, the Hamburg parliament simply took the Dietmarschen area and exchanged it with Marin for the important commercial city of Lenzburg, which had been defeated.

Although Lenzburg is much smaller than the Dietmarschen area, it is a commercial area that is the junction of the Duchy of Holstein and the Duchy of Schleswig and the centre of the flow of goods.

Thus, the acquisition of Lenzburg will give you a large opportunity to open the market of the Duchy of Schleswig. Moreover, the people of Hamburg started out in business and are not good at farming. Obtaining Lenzburg, which was conducive to the start of the war business, was obviously more in line with the appetite of the business-savvy Hamburgers.

As for Marin, he was extremely happy to get the Dietmarshin County area. Of course, on the surface, you have to put on a "I've lost a lot" expression to show the Hamburgers.

Although, in the short term, the Dietmarschen area, which is about the size of a county, does not necessarily have a higher tax revenue than Lenzburg. However, that is a temporary situation.

Marin has always looked at problems from the perspective of development, so he does not care about the temporary backwardness of the Dietmarshin area. After all, the Dittmarchen region is now backward, but its geographical location is too good......

The Dittmarschen region, which not only contains the entire coastal area of the North Sea of the Duchy of Holstein, covers an area of up to 1,400 square kilometers, but also occupies the northern bank of the mouth of the Elbe River, and is a key area for water and land transportation.

As long as Malcoln is willing to invest, build a port here and build a convenient road...... This kind of easily accessible area is very quick to get up......

Actually, inside the hamburg, not no one sees this. However, the city of Hamburg is dominated by a group of businessmen. An important characteristic of businessmen is that they pay more attention to short-term returns.

Therefore, even if some people in the city of Hamburg saw the long-term interests of the Dietmarschen area, they could not persuade other businessmen-turned-Hamburg parliamentarians.

In fact, those lawmakers cannot be blamed for being short-sighted. Rather, it is because the position of parliamentarian is not hereditary. The parliamentarians of the city of Hamburg have paid a lot of money to get the position of parliamentarian, and the term of office is only a few years. During this term, of course, these councillors have to work hard to get enough benefits for their families and their chambers of commerce. As for the long-term benefits, that one is too risky and the wait is too long. Therefore, they prefer short-term gains. After all, this one is more stable and there is no risk......

At the same time, in this era, the city and the countryside were strictly separated. The cities were the territory of merchants and craftsmen, while the countryside was the territory of the feudal aristocracy.

Even if Hamburg takes the Dietmarshin area, there is no interest in farming. Because, the people of Hamburg are mainly commercial and handicraft, and no one wants to farm. Coupled with the fact that agricultural production in Europe is so low at present, farming is not profitable at all. Moreover, agricultural taxes were not in vogue in Europe at this time, and no matter how large the Dietmarshin region was, it could not provide a stable tax revenue.

In such a situation, it is only natural that the Hamburg parliament will choose Lenzburg, a geographically important commercial city that can provide tax revenue, rather than the large area of Dietmarschen, which has no stable tax revenue......

Marin had been worried that building Las Vegas on the mainland would corrupt the local aristocracy, officials, and officers. However, if it is placed in the Duchy of Schleswig, it is not at ease. Because, the Duchy of Schleswig is the nest of those Schleswig nobles who are going to be "imprisoned". Put it there, it's easy to get out of control.

After thinking about it, Marin suddenly discovered that the Dietmarshin area is a very good area to build Las Vegas City......

First of all, the Dietmarshin region was neither native of the area ruled by Marin, nor in the newly controlled principality of Schleswig. Also, it's in an excellent location. If the new Las Vegas City were to be built on the north bank of the Elbe estuary, it would have the huge advantage of being easily accessible.

Because, the city of Las Vegas can not only be used to imprison those nobles of the Duchy of Schleswig and the Earl of Oldenburg, so that they can enjoy themselves. At the same time, the city can also be opened to the public, attracting Hamburg's big businessmen to come and "hi the skin". There are so many entertainment items, and Mao Mei...... I don't believe that the rich Hamburg merchants refused to spend money......

At the same time, not only the merchants of Hamburg, but also the merchants of nearby Lübeck and Bremen, who heard about such a place, were also attracted to it. Of course, some nearby nobles are also indispensable......

As long as these people come, Marin can completely let the service staff of the newly built Las Vegas City show the posture of receiving God, so that these rich people are happy, and they are not afraid of no repeat customers......

When the time comes, the city of Las Vegas can not only be used to trap and corrupt those untrusted surrendering aristocrats, but it can also be used to open business and make a lot of profits......

Thinking of this, Marin immediately made a decision - to immediately take the Dietmarshin area. Then, on the north bank of the Elbe estuary, in Brunsbüttle at the mouth of the later Kiel Canal, the city of Las Vegas was built and made a famous entertainment center in North Germany, attracting nearby merchants and nobles to spend a lot of money, prosper the local economy, and at the same time, bring a lot of profits to Marin......
