Marin was not familiar with this Hungarian peasant uprising. He had only read historical materials of the German peasant war in his previous life, but did not notice information of the Hungarian peasant uprising. After all, Hungary was not from the German region. In fact, he did not know that this peasant uprising was also written into the book by Marx and Engel.
Moreover, in this peasant uprising, more than 80,000 peasant uprising army were executed by the noble army, almost killing Hungary into blood.
But now it's different, because Marin fell in love with these prisoners of war...
Why did Marin fall in love with these prisoners of war? This starts with the origin of the Hungarians. In this era, the Hungarians were not called Hungarians, but Magyars.
(The Hungarian nation only appeared after the European Revolution in 1848, and there were no Hungarians before. The subsequent Hungarians were actually a new nation created by Hungarian nationalists with the theme of Magyars.)
The Magyars were not native Europeans, but nomads migrated from Asia. In the early Middle Ages, the Magyars, as fierce nomads, brought great disaster to the people in the southern border areas of Germany.
In the early years, the Magyars were all good at horseback and could become warriors by horses. They were very similar to the nomadic peoples in northern China. However, after the Magyars were defeated by Otto the Great in 955, the Magyars began to settle down on the Hungarian plains, turned to farming, and converted to Catholicism.
Of course, although the Magyars changed to farm, not everyone worked. After all, the descendants of this nomadic people still retained the habits of many nomadic peoples. Therefore, there are still many militants in this nation. They are skilled in riding and are good at fighting on horseback. Even during the war period, the Hungarian Hussar has always been a model of European light cavalry and is the group with the strongest combat effectiveness among Western European light cavalry.
Because the people were good at fighting, the church easily recruited 40,000 crusaders here. However, due to the destruction of the nobles, these crusaders turned into peasant uprising troops.
Marin, regardless of whether the Hungarian nobles did the right thing, he only knew that these Hungarian peasant uprisings would eventually fail. Once the peasant uprising failed, a large number of prisoners of war would inevitably appear. These prisoners of war who were proficient in cavalry and even horse war were excellent thugs. Instead of letting them be killed by the Hungarian noble coalition, it would be better to be thugs for themselves.
Of course, Marin also knew that the German nobles would never allow themselves to recruit tens of thousands of Hungarian Hussars. Therefore, he had to find a suitable excuse...
On the way, Marin thought of an excuse - one excuse was that the development of the Lammersberg silver mine in Goslar required a large number of miners; the second excuse was that he needed a large number of immigrants with self-protection ability, while reclaiming the wild continent, while resisting the cruel barbarians in the local area...
These two excuses can evade the German princes. After all, whether it is going to mine or reclaim the land in the legendary wilderness continent, it will be a life-and-death end. Therefore, the princes should not rebound much.
If he dared to say that it was to obtain tens of thousands of Hussars, he would probably be beaten up in an instant...
Of course, even if he can get tens of thousands of prisoners of war, he will not be suitable for being a Hungarian Hussar. After all, over the past few hundred years, the Magyars have been influenced by the German region, and many of them have become real farmers. Only people in the southern region, because they border with Turkey, have strong combat power in order to protect themselves.
Therefore, even if Marin obtained tens of thousands of Magyar prisoners of war, it is estimated that there would not be too many people suitable to be Hungarian Hussars, at most tens of thousands of people.
However, even if there are only tens of thousands of people, it is a very scary force. Marin planned to secretly hide them in America if he could get enough Magyars suitable for being a light cavalry, so that they could print the Native Americans while carrying out German education, and eventually become their reliable thugs.
Thinking of Germanized education, Marin ordered Kohler to send people to northern Hungary to find young priests who knew both German and Magyar, and to the Department of Theology of Orich University, and to ask the old Bishop Taylor to teach, and then, he went to North America to brainwash the Hungarians every day, and eventually turned these people into their own loyal troops...
...
However, considering that buying prisoners of war requires a lot of money, and Marin has no more cash. Therefore, before going to Hungary, Marin went to Augsburg first and found Jacob Fuger, the leader of the Fuger family, and asked to borrow money...
"What? Do you want to buy Hungarian mob prisoners of war as miners and pioneers of the wild continent?" Jacob Fuger was startled after hearing Marin's words, and then, his eyes flashed and he asked:
"I don't know, can I buy some too..."
Marin was startled and waved his hands repeatedly:
"Don't, you have to think about it. Your Tyrol silver mine is located in the foothills of the Alps. Once the Magyars escape into the mountains, it is difficult for your men to find them. Moreover, the Magyars only need to escape into the Alps and go all the way eastward. As long as you pass the Alps, you can escape back to Hungary. If that is the case, you will lose more than you can..."
"The Ross people are different. They were transported from far away Eastern Europe and had nowhere to escape, so they could only stay in the mines. Unlike the Hungarians, they could return to their hometowns by crossing mountains and ridges... But if they arrived at my Goslar Silver Mine, it would be different. There is the hinterland of Germany, and they can't escape even if they want to escape. My cavalry can easily catch them!"
In fact, these are all fools. The key is that Marin does not want the Fuger family to compete with him for the Mazar Hussels! Of course, it is not all nonsense.
Jacob Fuger thought about it and felt that Marin’s words were indeed reasonable. The Tyrol region is indeed not far from Hungary. As long as you are good at walking mountain roads and crossing the Alps, it is not difficult to reach Hungary. Moreover, it is difficult for his people to search and track down the Alps. However, he always felt that Marin’s words were not true...
When Marin saw his suspicious eyes, he did not intend to hide them completely:
"Okay, Earl Jacob, please give me some face. I need these Magyar prisoners of war to fight the barbarians on the wilderness continent. You know, there are many barbarians on the wilderness continent and they are also brave and good at fighting. The Magyars are a brave and good nation. I plan to take some people to fight the barbarians on the wilderness continent. After fighting the barbarians, I can still farm for me!" Marin explained half-truth.
Seeing Marin so "candid", Jacob Fuger was not good at robbing Marin. Marin said this, and he would turn against Marin. Besides, buying Rose slaves is indeed safer than buying Magyars. After all, the Rose people far away from their hometown are much more controllable than the Magyars near their hometown.
So he agreed to provide a loan for Marin to purchase Magyar prisoners of war. As for the interest, he gave a standard of 15% not high or low...
After the loan agreement was negotiated, Marin took his men to Augsburg and headed straight to Prague, the capital of the Bohemia Kingdom in the northeast to find Vladislas II, who also served as the king of Hungary. After all, he was the real monarch of the Hungarian Kingdom, and he would definitely take the lead in suppressing the peasant uprising army at that time. Talking to him about buying Magyar prisoners of war is also considered finding the right person.
