The woman lying on the bed in the main room was obviously Edor Wilmken's wife, the younger sister of John V, Earl of Oldenburg, and the legitimate cousin of Hans, King of Denmark...
I saw this woman had a wound on her chest, shed a lot of blood, dyeing the bed sheets red. And lying beside her was a breathless baby...
"Bastard, who killed them?" Marin was furious. In his plan, both women of big and small must be alive. He doesn't care whether the young or bad, but big and must live!
"It's... it was Baron Edor himself who killed..." a surrendered Jeffrey replied tremblingly.
"What? This guy is crazy? He actually killed his wife and daughter?" Marin couldn't believe it, but the dozens of surrendered Yevre soldiers in the room testified that Edor Wilmken killed.
Malin suddenly remembered Chongzhen, the king of the Ming Dynasty, who also killed his wife and daughter... However, that was because Chongzhen did not want his wife and daughter to be humiliated after his death. After all, ancient China was an era that paid great attention to reputation. However, in Europe... there was no such worry at all...
The most important thing is that Hedwig is the princess of Oldenburg and the cousin of the King of Denmark... Even if he catches them, he will not do anything to Hedwig...
So, the final inference is that Edor Wilmken is crazy...
Edor Wilmken went crazy, but left Marin with a huge problem - how to deal with Denmark's blame...
As for Oldenburg's country, Marin looked down on them. Such a garbage country could destroy him by sending two or three thousand troops. But the problem is that Denmark would be there after they parted...
So, Marin now has to face a very serious diplomatic incident...
After all, Hedwig was a noble princess. Although Marin was depressed by her death, she had to deal with her body. So Marin immediately asked a doctor to deal with her body and looked for a top coffin to collect it.
As for Edor Wilmken, who was beaten into a sieve, Marin now hated him and decided to drop his body on the top of the city for public display. The charge was rebellion, and the killing of Princess Hedwig...
The battlefield hospital began to become busy and accepted a large number of wounded people who had been removed from the battlefield. This time, Marin's men died and 30 injured.
Moreover, these casualties were basically caused by forcibly rushing to the city gate and the main fort gate. The most depressing thing was that the five musketeers were basically killed without any fighting back. In addition, four died of blood.
The other 30 wounded basically survived. This is because Marin formed a modern battlefield medical team, all of which used boiled white gauze and alcohol to disinfect the wound. With the golden sore medicine provided by Morigen and Bater, the wounded basically survived without infection.
If it were other troops, at least half of the 30 wounded people would die. Due to the treatment of the battlefield medical team, except for the four wounded people who lost too much blood, they were all rescued.
Of course, this is also because these wounded people are injured by swords. If the other party has muskets and cannons, it is troublesome. If the wounded people who are hit by muskets and cannons are said to be worse than death, and it is extremely difficult to treat. After all, the lead bullet of the musket will roll into the human body, causing serious internal injuries. Needless to say, the shells are definitely a serious injury of missing arms and legs...
Fortunately, the Yevre army was a cold weapon unit, and Marin asked the charger to wear chest armor and helmets, so the losses were not great. As long as the sword was injured, as long as it was not fatal and the bleeding was not much, it could still be saved.
After dealing with the wounded, it was the issue of prisoners of war. Marin was too lazy to deal with it, so he handed it over to Schwartz, choosing a location and detaining them. However, the more than 40 soldiers who were originally left in the main castle room of Yevre Castle were asked to be locked up alone by Marin. Because they were all witnesses to Hedwig's death. If necessary, they were required to make a certificate to prove that Hedwig was not killed by Marin, but by Edor Wilmken.
Marin even planned to select four of these 40 people to escort Hedwig's body to Oldenburg to explain the situation.
Of course, Marin also planned to bleed with Hedwig's death. There was no way. Hedwig died during his siege after all, and he was also responsible for Hedwig's death.
Denmark is now in great power, especially the maritime power is too strong, and it is not something that you can compete with. Therefore, when it is time to admit defeat, you have to admit defeat. Therefore, Marin is ready to be blackmailed...
...
News came from Wangling in the north that the defenders over there also surrendered. After all, the East Friesian army was fighting a blitzkrieg, and the other party was unprepared. Although hundreds of soldiers retreated into the castle in the city, the other party did not have time to prepare the harvested food and food supplies. The food supplies actually existed in the warehouse not far from the castle in the city. However, the defenders retreated in a hurry and did not have time to get it...
So, after being hungry for a few days, the defenders in the castle could not stand it and surrendered...
The Northern Army was not very casualties, mainly concentrated when the army rushed into the city, more than a dozen people were killed or injured, and then several others were injured after entering the city. Later, Stad did not force the fortress in the city. Because, when he learned that the other party had no time to bring food into the castle, he was directly besieged. He cooked in front of the castle every day, seducing the soldiers in the castle, which was so cheap. In the end, the soldiers in the castle had internal conflicts due to hunger and eventually surrendered.
Marin was very satisfied with Stad's approach. This kind of vulgarity had already been deeply taught by his true knowledge... So Marin wrote a letter to praise him. Then, he gave instructions - there was no need to stay among the Wilmken family members of Winglan...especially male members...
However, in the letter, Marin asked to make the illusion that male members of the Wilmken family were all killed in battle...
After all, although these people are members of the rebels' family, Malindong's method of eradicating the roots will inevitably be criticized. Therefore, "being killed in battle" is the best choice. In this way, the reputation of both sides will not be affected...
To be honest, Marin both appreciates and opposes the Western rule of not killing nobles. The appreciation is that doing this is indeed more civilized. At least, the aristocrats are more civilized. Opposes are because it is too stupid to do this. If you don’t eradicate the roots, the other party will have a chance to go into exile and oppose you, which will make you restless.
The best example is the York family and the Lancaster family, which have experienced a hundred years of war. Both families have changed several leaders and fought for hundreds of years.
If Marin hadn't intervened, the war would have ended with Henry VII killing Edward, the last male member of the York family.
Therefore, Henry VII's choice was right. If all the male members of the York family were killed, no one would compete for the throne with him. If the unspoken rules between the nobles were adhered to, the Red and White Roses War would not end.
Of course, because of Marin's intervention, Earl Edward escaped, the "War of Red and White Roses" will continue, and Britain will still be in chaos...
This example shows that the best choice is to eliminate the roots. Although it is bloody and inhumane, it is the best choice to get things over.
Originally, after Henry VII killed Edward, the country gradually stabilized. By the time of Henry VIII, Britain had begun to gradually rise and eventually become a powerful country.
If Henry VII's cruelty, Henry VIII would not be able to enjoy the peace in the country. Not to mention rising, he would probably have to continue fighting the endless "Red and White Rose War"...
...
The troops on the southern front did not encounter reinforcements from Oldenburg. Because Marin's army was moving too fast, the Wilmken family did not have the opportunity to send messengers for help. Even the Southern Army intercepted and killed many Oldenburg merchants who were doing business in Yevre, who planned to send back to the country, and cut off the spread of the news.
Now, the war has ended. Marin now has two main tasks:
First, we must digest the fruits of war, send troops to station here for a long time, and take over local government affairs. At the junction with Oldenburg, multiple bunkers need to be built to guard against Oldenburg. Of course, Yevre Castle and Wangland also need the location of the troops.
