Chapter 1218: Hidden back to Olic
Although Marin cared about the revolving nobles who had lost their power, he was not very worried about it. Because these nobles who had lost their power did not have an army in their hands.
After Marin took control of the Beihai Kingdom, he exchanged most of the fiefs of nobles who were not his own to Bremen Province for centralization.
At the same time, Marin also asked Kohler to arrange a large number of spies to be placed in Bremen to monitor the nobles. Most importantly, Marin modified the tradition and prohibited the nobles from owning armed forces. Only 3 to 10 guards were allowed to each family, and most of them were less than 5 guards. In addition, the weapons were strictly limited, only swords and bows and arrows were allowed, and muskets and crossbows were not allowed.
Therefore, even if these nobles unite to rebel, they cannot gather many people. Even if they temporarily summon serfs as conscripts, they will only gather thousands of miscellaneous troops. With such power, Marin can destroy them by sending two square formations.
Even Malim hoped that they would rebel. In this way, they could clean these people and save a lot of land.
In general, these people are jumping around happily, but the threat is not great. What really threatens Marin is the military issue...
In addition to the issues that middle and lower-level officers may disclose agricultural secrets after being attracted, if those people leave, they will also take away the training methods of the Beihai Army and enhance the combat effectiveness of other princes. In the past, other princes had learned the Beihai Kingdom tactics, but because they were imitating by laymen, they learned some form but did not learn the essence, and their combat power increased limitedly. But if they poached the real Beihai Army, they could perfectly copy the Beihai Army. Therefore, the problem of the army is a big problem and is very fatal.
After Sauer's introduction, the other princes poached people this time mainly concentrated in the Third Legion stationed in Schleswig. Because the First and Second Legion were stationed in the capital Orich, it was very cautious and difficult to get started. In the early days, the princes sent people, but they were all cleaned up or closely monitored. Therefore, all countries basically gave up their infiltration of the First Legion and the Second Legion.
The Third Legion stationed in Schleswig was far away from the core area and was not so vigilant, so it was easier to take advantage of loopholes. Therefore, many hostile princes swung their hoes at the Third Legion in Schleswig Province...
As for the new Sixth Army in Ruhr, no one went to do it. Why? Because most of the 6th Army in Ruhr are Scots and cannot communicate. The minority German officers are often very valued and do not need to leave. Because the Sixth Army expects German officers to manage Scottish soldiers, which is very important. But Sauer said that there are still a few officers of the Sixth Army being contacted. After all, the newly included area in the Ruhr area is more likely to be infiltrated. Unlike Orich, the guard is too tight and it is difficult to take action.
The method of surveillance of Shaoer is also very simple. It is to send people to monitor whoever has relatives from his hometown to visit. But this set is only more effective near the military camp and the military camp. After all, Shaoer's intelligence forces are distributed in the military camp and near the military camp. But some people will send people to "visit relatives" when the officers are on vacation to return to the manor, so Shaoer is unable to meet the strength.
Therefore, Marin asked Kohler and Sauer to cooperate - once an officer goes home for vacation, Kohler will send someone to follow up and investigate. After all, outside the barracks, it is the territory of Kohler intelligence personnel.
...
After arranging the investigation of the betrayal officer, Marin began to consider going home.
Marin's team was very large, and there were hundreds of guards who followed him, including Kahn. But in order not to let acquaintances recognize the flaws, Marin still allowed most of the guards to stay in Wilhelmshaven's barracks. Because if so many people returned to Orich, they would easily be recognized by the acquaintances of these guards.
Once a guard is recognized, the matter of Marin's return cannot be hidden. After all, Marin's guard is back, and smart people can definitely guess the fact that Marin has also returned.
But Marin happened to be unwilling to let others know that he was back, so he left most of the guards in Wilhelmshaven and only planned to bring Kahn and other several strongest guards back.
However, where to live after returning has become a problem.
Because, whether it is Marin, Kahn, or the other guards, they cannot show up. However, they must not be in the city of Orich. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient to discuss things with Kohler, Schwartz and others.
For example, he is now in Wilhelmshaven, fifty or sixty kilometers away from Orich. If something happens, Schwartz and Kohler can't let another trip to Wilhelmshaven to ask for instructions, right? So, he still has to go back to Orich to facilitate command.
"Or why go to the east villa of the city where the master and his wife live?" Kohler suggested.
But Ma Lin immediately shook his head, because, this time he did not show up, he also had plans to test his parents and brothers. He even planned to deliberately release the news of his death and observe whether the brothers had the ambition to fight for the throne...
Therefore, the villa in the east of the city cannot be visited, nor can the old Hoffman and his wife know about it.
"Then go to our house?" Sauer suggested.
Marin still shook his head:
"There are many people in your family, and they are so crowded. If you accidentally leak the secret. So, it's inappropriate..."
"Then buy a big house next to the palace and prevent others from getting close to you. When something happens, Sauer, Schwartz, I will go to discuss matters with you?" Kohler suggested again.
Marin's eyes lit up:
"This idea is good, but I also think Angela and her sons can't live outside all the time... But when you go back to the palace, you can't be seen..." Marin was a little distressed.
Saul thought about it and suggested:
"I remember there is a small door to the west of the palace, which is the passage for the people and ingredients from the imperial kitchen. Otherwise, we will buy a house outside that small door. If you want your wife and the young master, then put on makeup and go back to the palace through this small door?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Marin's eyes lit up, but he quickly shook his head:
"The imperial kitchen is also full of people and eyes, so I accidentally leaked the news of my return. So, no..."
"But there are many other doors in the palace. There is no door in the backyard unless, like the Emden Palace, there is a secret passage leading out of the city..." Kohler complained.
Marlin suddenly felt excited - Yes, you can use the secret passage!
So he quickly ordered:
"This idea is good. In this way, when we go back, we will look at the backyard of the palace next to those residences, and then buy it. After buying it, you arrange a reliable person to dig a secret passage from that house to the designated location of the backyard of the palace. In this way, it will be convenient for me to go back to see Angela and Caesar at any time. Usually, Kahn and others live in that house..."
Kohler thought for a while and asked again:
"But for what reason should we find you at that house? You must know that several big names in Beihai Kingdom gathered in an unknown small house, which would definitely attract attention..."
"Then... buy this house in your name as an outside house. In this way, when you have something to discuss, you pretend to invite Schwartz and the others to drink there. In this way, others will not see anything."
"Okay, I'll do it now..."
"Wait, let's arrange for me to go back to the palace first. I want Caesar and Angela..."
"No, there are so many people in the palace. When you go back, it is easy for the palace maids and eunuchs to recognize the secrets."
"Then you buy the house near the backyard of the palace as soon as possible, and I will live in the house."
"yes!"
...
Soon, Kohler and Schor returned to Orich. Then, they discussed with Schwartz how to secretly bring Marin back.
