Chapter 145: Oldenburg Affairs
On the way back to his hometown, the army passed the Dietmarshchen region that nominally surrendered to Marin. At the mouth of the Elbe River and the Bronsbüttel at the mouth of the Kiel Canal in later generations, Marin was surprised to find that there were so many swamps ...
At this time, Marin suddenly remembered a message he had read on someone's Weibo afterwards. It is said that before the Kiel Canal was built, it was close to the North Sea side, and it was a large swamp area with a lot of water. After the opening of the Kiel Canal, the water in the swamp passes through the Kiel Canal, flows into the mouth of the Elbe River, and enters the North Sea. In this way, the land near the mouth of the Kiel Canal was opened up into a good land ...
That is to say, at present, there is no river connected to the Elbe between Brunsbit and the surrounding area. As a result, many nearby areas are swamps, which is not conducive to development.
Marin didn't matter so much, he drew a circle directly on the map where the posterity Brunstle was ...
Then, it was determined to be the seat of Las Vegas City ...
Later generations of third-rate singers sang:
"1503, it was a summer,
There is an old ... an old driver on the north coast of Germany ...
Drew a circle!
Mythically rises a casino city,
The gold and silver of the tax sank the silver ship ... "
……
For the serious problem of local swamp dewatering, Marin directly planned to arrange people to dig a small river to connect the Elbe River. It's just drainage, it's not like digging a big canal, an irrigation canal, enough to achieve the function of drainage.
Moreover, because of the proximity to the North Sea, the Dietmarchen area is also very suitable for the use of Dutch windmills. As long as the trench leading to the sea is dug, and a few more Dutch windmills are installed, drainage is not a problem.
You must know that someone who wrote about the Kiel Canal on Weibo in later generations once mentioned that there are large areas of farmland near the Kiel Canal ...
Moreover, in later generations, the Kiel Canal is naturally the natural boundary between Dietmarschen County and Steinburg County. Marin intends to dig out this section of the river, which can be used to drain the swamp, or it can be used directly as a dividing line.
After borrowing the merchant ships of the Hamburgers to build a pontoon to allow the army to successfully cross the Elbe, Marin took the army and passed the Archbishopric of Bremen peacefully under the watchful eyes of the entire country of the Archbishop of Bremen.
To be honest, Archbishop Marlin of Bremen is very coveted, and he would like to take the opportunity of passing by this time to come to a "false doctrine." However, the archbishopric was sheltered by the Holy See and the bishop. In the case that his elder man had not become a pope, Marin did not dare to arbitrarily start a bishopric. You should know that Emperor Shenluo Henry IV was punished by the Pope and issued a membership. As a result, His Majesty the Emperor was abandoned by the princes and his subjects. As a last resort, Henry IV ran to Italy. At the gate of the Canossa Castle where the Pope was, he blizzarded and took barefoot for three days before he was forgiven by the Pope.
Marin did n’t think his face was bigger than that of Emperor Shinra. If he dared to move the Archbishop of Bremen, causing Pope Alexander VI to get angry and give him a penalty, then he might even go to Rome to confess If there is no chance, the princes will form a round. The most important thing is that because the authority of the Holy See is too high at this time, the soldiers under his command may betray him and refuse to fight for him ...
Therefore, Marin can only face the Archbishop of Bremen with an area of up to 6,000 square kilometers. After drooling, he wiped the saliva and left without looking back. He entered Oldenburg, which was already under his control. Bo Guo ...
At this time, the Oldenburg State was controlled by the 2000 East Frisian militia led by Adler. After Marin arrived in Oldenburg, Adler naturally welcomed him warmly and made a request to return home.
However, Marin really lacks a general in his hands and can only grieve Adler for staying here for a few months.
The nobles of Oldenburg are not so honest. After Marin's army left, some local nobles learned that the garrison led by Adler was not a regular army but an East Frisian militia. So, after Marin left, the local nobles launched several rebellions.
However, the 2000 militias led by Adler were all formally trained. Moreover, Adler himself is also a macho brother.
So, several small rebellions were successfully suppressed by Adler. Right now, the more than 30 nobles suspected of rebellion are being held in the prisons of Oldenburg.
"How to deal with those rebels?" Adler asked Marin.
"This is still a question? Pull to the square tomorrow morning in front of the people in the city and behead!"
"Then their family?"
"All punishment is serf, supervise!" Marin said coldly.
In fact, Marin originally intended to say "cut together". However, considering that he still needs to stabilize the hearts of the people of Oldenburg, he cannot be too bloodthirsty. In the end, Marin let go of the families who rebelled against the nobility. However, for the families of the rebels, Marin will not let them go, but will concentrate them in a manor. They are nominally punished as serfs, but in reality, they may not be required to do much work. This is because these noble family members who are well respected may not be able to do much work. Marin's real intention was to limit their freedom so that they would not be taken away by intentional people and become a new force against themselves.
Early the next morning, Marin took the army aggressively, took control of the main streets of Oldenburg, and brought all the local nobility, including all the members of the Oldenburg royal family, to the square to let everyone Let's "appreciate" the **** scenes where the rebels were beheaded.
The reason why is so is to deter these people. Marin knew that although these people had surrendered, they might not have other ideas in their hearts. Therefore, let them visit the **** scenes where the rebels were beheaded, and they can also deter them from the heart. Let them clearly realize that the rebellion's end is only a dead end ...
The head was rolling, the blood was flowing, and it really terrified many nobles who were escorted to visit. They are used to being good, and with some unspoken rules, they never feel how dangerous they are.
However, Marin's death penalty, which was more **** and violent than hanging, greatly impacted their hearts ... That night, many nobles who visited the death penalty were scared ...
A few days later, when the nobles who had been frightened had eased, Marin organized these people and announced specific methods to trust the manor under their name.
If they had n’t seen the horror scene of the execution a few days ago, these nobles might have quarreled with Marin. However, after experiencing the terrible scene a few days ago, none of the nobles in Oldenburg dared to openly question this trusteeship plan.
Moreover, Marin is not robbing their territory. Those estates belong to them in name. Moreover, in the past, how much food they received each year, Marin would pay them in full, not less of them. At most, they could not play the aristocracy in front of their own leaders.
Only, now in front of the killing **** Marin, they dare not have other ideas. It's good to be able to save your life, what a privilege? Moreover, financially speaking, they did not suffer.
Even, to appease the hearts of these nobles who have been deprived of the management of the estate, Marin also announced that-while trusting their estate, they will also take over the debt they owe.
This time, it really made many nobles happy ...
Know that in this era, European grain production is pitifully low. Therefore, those nobles whose territory is not particularly large ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ often have very poor economic conditions. Normally, it is normal for everyone to owe a little debt. Nobles who are not in debt are rare. Unless, this noble has a business-developed city that can provide a lot of business tax. Otherwise, 9 out of 10 nobles produced on the estates are in debt. Even most of the princes, those dukes and counts, are mostly in debt.
Marin announced to take over the debts of these people, and also promised to take out not less than the amount of food obtained in previous years from the output of the manor and send them to them. In this way, the debts of these nobles are gone, and the income is not reduced, which can make these nobles with poor finances feel relieved.
It ’s just that what they did n’t know was that Marin was already on the side of Diet Marshall, planning to build a casino called “Las Vegas”. Once the city of Las Vegas was built, these local nobles of Oldenburg, in addition to the ability to stay in office. The rest will be sent to Las Vegas to be "corroded" ...
Because of lack of manpower, Marin can only arrange for Adler to continue to lead the militia to station here. At the same time, Marin wrote a letter to Justice Heidel of East Frisian Lambert, asking him to come to Oldenburg to serve as the new prime minister, responsible for the administration of Oldenburg.
Haidel has been studying with Jeffrey for several years, and should be familiar with how to be a palace. At this time, let him come to serve as the prime minister of the Old Kingdom of Oldenburg, which is just right. At the same time, in his letter, Marin allowed Heidel to return to his alma mater, Cologne University, to recruit a few younger brothers to help him deal with the affairs of Oldenburg.
After arranging the garrison and government affairs of Oldenburg, Marin couldn't wait to regroup the army and rush to Aurich. He has n’t seen his wife and children for months, and he misses it ...
