Chapter 133 Land Redemption and Custody Policy (Part 1)
When marching on the land, only Marin's 18,000 troops were left. After landing, they gathered together 1,000 lancers left on the ground. As for the troops of Lubeck and Hamburg, they had long been transported away by their ships.
During the evacuation, Marin asked the naval sailors to return the 150 Kirk sailboats they had allocated to East Friesland by sea, with the last batch of property.
Marin himself, with his army and food, went to Keronborg, the port in the northwest of Zeland, which was where he had landed on Zeland from Waelle.
Along the way, the soldiers grabbed a lot of Danish village girls. However, these village girls were all formed into a team by Marin, and the monkeys were not allowed to touch them. According to Marin, after going back to hold a group wedding, everyone would take the beauty home and take the girls home with that... Because at that time, it was legal and in line with the rules... So, now those monkeys should just masturbate themselves...
After returning to Waelle with the fleet left by the navy, the soldiers continued to grab their wives in the village near Waelle City, and they were having another scattered...
In order not to affect the residents of the Principality of Schleswig, Marin took the army northwest for a while, without going south directly. Until the soldiers had snatched the women, Marin went south from the west coast of the Jutland Peninsula and headed towards the city of Riber.
The city of Riber has now belonged to Marin and the northern border of the Duchy of Schleswig. The city is stationed in Marin's original baggage force. Marin returned with the army and was naturally warmly welcomed.
After entering the Principality of Schleswig, Marin distributed thousands of troops and sent them to various parts of the Principality of Schleswig to convene all the nobles of all sizes and big and small to go to the city of Schleswig, convene a meeting of all the nobles to discuss major issues.
In fact, this major problem is the question of whether the nobles are willing to serve themselves...
At present, Marin divided the nobles of the Principality of Schleswig into three categories - the first category was those who fought stubbornly with him, such as those of Auburnor; the second category was those who were defeated and surrendered, and there were many people of this category, which were more than the first category; the third category was those who surrendered voluntarily.
Marin was very rude to the first type of nobles. After the noble died in battle, Marin's opinion was to confiscate all his manor and property, and his family was punished as serfs. He had to attack Zeland before, but he didn't have time to do it, and now it's time to do it.
The second type of nobles, Marin, gave them the right to choose - either leave the Principality of Schleswig and sell the territory to Marin at a discount. Of course, the price will definitely not be too high; or stay and entrust the territory to Marin, and Marin pays about the same income every year according to their current harvest. Then, those nobles will be kept by Marin and concentrated in the aristocratic community in the city, and Marin will build a luxurious entertainment venue for them to enjoy...
The third type of nobles, those who surrender voluntarily, are not good birds. However, Marin now has severely lacked manpower and can only win over them first. If there are talents, they will retain their territory and enter the government to serve as public office. If there are no talents and bad reputations, they will be the same as the second type of nobles who handle the second type of nobles, they will be entrusted with their estates and sent them to the city for enjoyment. Of course, if they are willing to give up their territory and go to Denmark, Marin will still pay for their land and property.
This time when Marin attacked Denmark, he made a fortune. No wonder some countries are keen on war. It turns out that if they win the war, they will really make a fortune.
Not to mention anything else, in Copenhagen, Marin obtained all kinds of property worth 1.3 million gold coins, and dug up all his old fortunes as a pirate for hundreds of years. Of course, because of the haste, many hidden treasures may not be found. However, with this money alone, Marin's investment was restored and he made a lot of money.
You should know that although Marin dispatched troops in the entire war, the total investment did not reach 500,000 gold coins. As for the construction cost of the fleet, it was not built to attack Denmark, so this cost is not included...
This time, Marin captured many Danish cities, and the total value of the robbed property is estimated to reach more than 2.5 million gold coins. It can be said that Marin earned several times this war... Including the territory he has allocated, it is even more immeasurable...
Although the land of the Principality of Schleswig was relatively vast, it was not fertile. Therefore, even if all the land of the nobles were redeemed, it would probably be a matter of hundreds of thousands of gold coins. For a moment, Marin really wanted to redeem all the land of the nobles and let them get out.
But Marin finally endured it...
Why? Because Marin was an ambitious man, he did not only attack the Principality of Shresweg. In the future, when the wings were full, he would definitely continue to expand.
If the affairs of the Principality of Schleswig were not handled well and all the local nobles were in trouble, in the future, Marin attacked other countries, and would be strongly resisted by the local nobles. Because once Marin wins, their good days will come to an end...
Therefore, although Marin was unhappy, he had to leave some obedient nobles, give them benefits and show them to others... In this way, when the next time he attacked another country, the nobles of that country would not firmly resist his army...
In addition, this time, Marin planned to treat the German nobles well and expel the Danish nobles. The Principality of Schleswig was a mixed ethnic area. Most of the southern part were Germans and spoke German. About one-third of the northern part were Danish territory, and the people there spoke Danish.
Marin's plan was to unite the German nobles, exclude the Danish nobles, and eventually turn the entire Duchy of Schleswig into German territory.
Moreover, even if the Danish nobles are excluded, they still have a place to go. They can return to the Danish-controlled area of the Jutland Peninsula and will still be accepted by the Danes. Because they were originally Danes.
However, the German nobles in the Principality of Schleswig were different. They were Germans. Once they left Schleswig's Principality, it would be embarrassing. Other German countries may not be willing to admit their original identities. If they go to Denmark, as Germans, they may be excluded by the Danes.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, most of these German nobles would definitely choose to stay. Moreover, when Marin advanced, the German nobles were not as determined to resist as those Danish nobles.
Marin decided to win over the German nobles who were willing to stay. Those who were capable of arranging public offices. Those who were incapable would trust their land and not reduce their income. They would also build entertainment venues for them in the city to provide them with ease.
Originally, Marin scratched his head when the soldiers snatched their wives in Denmark, and how Maomei, the Grand Principal of Moscow, arranged it. However, he suddenly remembered that those Maomei could be sent to the newly built sauna bathing city to "rubber the backs" of those nobles who were kept in captivity...
Also, those serfs, as long as they are honest and willing to work hard and have no wives, can also reward Mao Mei...
