Marin did not mean to spread the flooding method, because it would not be beneficial to him. Such a strategic weapon-like method is the greatest deterrent only when it is held in his hand and not thrown out. If it is exposed, it will not be beneficial to Marin.
After all, although Lubeck and Hamburg are rich, they have little development potential because of their small territory. If they are competing for territory and want to compete with themselves for land hegemony, Marin doesn't mind spreading the flooding method.
Now, seeing that both Lubeck and Hamburg were lost, they gave up their land requirements, and they would need to use them politically in the future. Therefore, Marin did not intend to spread this kind of tactic that was very terrifying for the two Hanseatic cities. So, Marin stroked the Bible in front of the two great speakers and sweared that as long as the two cities did not compete with him for territory, he would never tell the method of flooding, and would prohibit Woolf Esbrand from talking nonsense...
In addition, Lübeck and Hamburg also agreed that before the enemy's ransom was delivered, all the prisoners of war were taken back by Marin to dig the Münster Canal. As for the food, Marin himself bears it.
Marin naturally had no objection to this. For other countries, the food consumed to feed the 73,000 prisoners was extremely amazing, but it was not a problem for Marin. Just like he still had a lot of food not consumed. Even if he consumed 2 pounds of rye a day, it would only be 146,000 pounds a day. In a year, although the food consumption would reach a super amazing number of 53.29 million pounds, Marin's granary was stored in units of 100 million pounds, which was completely affordable.
Moreover, 73,000 labor force is a waste to dig a small canal. Therefore, Marin plans to adjust the original small canal plan and change it to a medium canal, which can accommodate two 200-ton cargo ships that can travel side by side. Of course, this kind of inland boat must not be used with wide boats, but it must be thinner to be more suitable for inland sailing. In the future, the power of these ships will be steam engines...
It can be said that this canal is crucial to Marin. Because it will connect the Ames River and the Lipper River. The Lipper River is a branch of the Rhine River. If it connects the Lipper River, it is equivalent to connecting the Rhine River and the Ruhr River. In this way, coal can be transported northward smoothly in the future.
Of course, this does not mean that Marin wants to do industry by the sea. In fact, Marin is still set in the Ruhr area, and he will definitely annex the Ruhr area in the future.
However, this canal transports coal to the coast to supply coal-fired for nautical ships. After all, it will definitely be the era of steamships in the future. In the future, Marin plans to change his warships and ocean-going merchant ships into sailboats. When the wind is down, the steam engine is turned off and the sails are used to drive the ships. When the wind is up or when there is no wind, the steam engine is started. Of course, in the sea battle, in order to facilitate chasing enemy ships or escaping, the steam engine can also be started. In this way, a lot of space for storing coal is saved and other materials and goods are loaded.
Although air pollution is inevitable after entering the steam engine era, it is inevitable, but this is the price of development and is inevitable. In addition, Marin can completely place industrial areas only in the Ruhr area. Capital areas like Orich can not engage in industry, so there will be no pollution...
Unlike some pretentious bitches in later generations, Marin was enjoying the fruits of industrial civilization, while also shouting pretentiously about environmental protection, and even de-industrialization... De-industrialization, is it necessary to bring people back to agricultural society? De-industrialization, because China, the emerging manufacturer, has provided them with enough cheap industrial products. If we do not industrialize, who will provide us with industrial products? Is it expected that Ah San or an African black uncle? Is it more reliable?
Despite traveling through time, Marin still rushed to the forefront of those who shouted "deindustrialization"... So, Marin decided to write it on his suicide note before he died. Whoever shouted "deindustrialization" would throw him (or her) into the primeval forest, and not give him any industrial products, and let him fend for himself... As long as he dares to make a fire (cooking) to pollute the atmosphere, he will kill him... forbid him to eat cooked food (eating cooked food means making fire, and also air pollution)...
...
After discussing the issue of division of interests, the next step is to discuss the next action plan. After all, Marin and Lübeck, the tripartite alliance of Hamburg (Sweden did not participate in the war, so of course they did not have any benefits), only won the decisive battle. But in fact, Frederick III, the Elector of Saxony, was still on the run, and Denmark in the north was not available to pay attention to the war in the south.
So, a very important question was placed before everyone - next, should we go south or north?
He went south naturally to pursue Frederick III. After all, this guy ran away with hundreds of knights. If he couldn't catch him, the war would not end.
Going north means going to Denmark again. Then, landing on the island of Zeland and attacking Copenhagen again. This time, Marin said that he would cut off a huge piece of meat from the Danes.
Marin had actually thought about it in his mind - after this battle, he became truly famous in Europe. After defeating 50,000 elite enemy troops, no matter which country the monarch was, he had to look at him with admiration. At this time, snatch a crown from Denmark, and the time was ripe...
After all, the Danish royal family occupied the two crowns of Denmark and Norway, which was a waste. Score one for yourself...
Thinking about the feeling of being a king, Marin couldn't help but feel excited. Duke Marin is not as domineering as His Majesty Marin...
"I support going south!" said Tagfaht, the Speaker of the Grand Speaker of Lübeck:
"If we can't catch Frederick III of Saxony, it means that this matter is not over yet. Moreover, if we catch this guy, we can also ask for hundreds of thousands of gold coins! You know, that is a king, comparable to a king!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Obviously, the Saxony Electoral State was rich. At the beginning, although Saxony was divided into two according to the Treaty of Leipzig. It seems that the area of ​​the Saxony Principal State is not much smaller than that of the Saxony Electoral State. In fact, the Saxony Electoral State was richer. Because when choosing land, the eldest son Ernst elected the first choice. As the first choice, he naturally chose more cities and more economically developed areas.
Therefore, although the entire Greater Saxony region is very developed, the Saxony Electoral State is definitely richer than the Saxony Principal State. The Saxony Principal State paid Marin a ransom of one million Goulden gold coins. Although he borrowed a lot, he was considered very rich. Even if he borrowed another duke, he would not be able to raise so much money. The Saxony Electoral State probably took out one million gold coins and could not borrow much money to handle it...
After all, the Saxony business district is the second largest business district after the Wende business district. More importantly, the Saxony region has always been a relatively developed handicraft industry. Before the Industrial Revolution, the handicraft industry in the Saxony region was always the highlight of the economy and brought a lot of tax revenue to the Saxony finances.
Therefore, unlike cities such as Lübeck and Hamburg in the Wende business district relying on maritime transportation trade, the Hanseatic cities in the Saxony business district are responsible for selling goods manufactured by developed handicrafts in the Saxony region to all parts of Germany in exchange for money and wealth... This model makes the Saxony business district the second only to the Wende business district that monopolizes huge profit-making trade in the Baltic region, and the second place among the four major business districts of the Hanseatic League, which is richer than the Rhine business district with developed shipping...
Because foreign trade and local handicraft production can generate a large amount of tax revenue, the Electoral State of Saxony and the Principal of Saxony, although the territory is not flat and the arable land is not very fertile, it is still one of the most developed regions in Germany. It can even be said that it is the most developed region in Germany (excluding the Flanders and Milan in the Netherlands belonging to the Shenluo)... It was not until the steam engine era of the 19th century that the industrial leader of the Saxony region was suppressed by the Ruhr area, which has a massive amount of coal...
