Chapter 1550: Borrow a knife to kill

Jacob Fugel is not a small white. When Maximilian I mortgaged the Tyrolean silver mine to him, he also studied mining and smelting technology for a long time and was familiar with the production process of silver mine.

After Marin explained the benefits of blast furnaces, railcars and high-manganese steel mills to him, he had these three technologies in mind, and the production efficiency of the Tyrolean silver mine has been raised by a small half without problems. Therefore, he accepted Marlin's love. So, with a big wave of his hand, he directly agreed to lend Marlin 500,000 coins without interest. Then, they did not use Marin to transport the money to the Principality of Württemberg, which directly offset the 400,000 gold coins owed to him by Ulrich, the Duke of Württemberg. As for another 100,000, it will take Malin to Stuttgart. In order to provide convenience to Marin, he paid all the gold coins so as not to have too many silver coins, which made Marin difficult to transport.

Marin also voted for Li, expressing his willingness to provide the Fugel family with enough high-manganese steel mills and drive belts for blowers. These two things are not found in other European countries. Not to mention high manganese steel, other countries don't know why this is made. Marin directly compared with Jacob Fugel's bragging, saying that it was a steel mill made of extraterrestrial meteorite, which was very wear-resistant and sounded very powerful. Jacob Fugel didn't understand anything about metal anyway, so he could only let Marin brag. Moreover, he doesn't need to understand, as long as what Marin gives meets the requirements. As for not meeting the requirements? At that time, no priority will be given to selling silver to Marin ...

As for the transmission belt, it is made of sisal fiber. Now, the mass production of sisal fiber in Cuba has begun. Marin's fleet, cables, and even the main veins of sails began to use sisal fiber. It is also a trifle to divide a bit of sisal fiber to make a transmission belt. The biggest feature of the transmission belt made of sisal fiber is also wear-resistant. If the ordinary linen rope is used and the turbine is spinning, the transmission belt may be worn out. In this case, things are delayed. The wear resistance of sisal, exactly meets the long-term movement of the transmission belt and is not easy to wear off.

With the 400,000 gold coins from the Fugger family and 100,000 gold coins, Marin rushed to Stuttgart, the capital of the Principality of Württemberg, to the west.

After entering the territory of the Principality of Württemberg with 800 cavalry, Marin found that the situation here had begun to become tense ...

Time has entered May, and the spring cultivation of the Principality of Württemberg is basically over. At this time, Ulrich, Duke of Württemberg, felt that the time to turn his face with those rioting farmers was ripe ...

However, because preparations are still in progress, the Duke Ulrich is currently arranging the army, including the thousands of mercenaries loaned to him by Marin, around his territory and around the noble territory loyal to him. The diehards were hurt by the peasant uprising.

However, the confrontation in the negotiations has already begun. Duke Ulrich already had the intention to tear up the original promise, only because the preparation work was not completed, and the promise was not finally announced. Casper, the leader of the "Poverty Conrad" peasant uprising organization in Württemberg, also felt the danger. He has begun to convene the backbone of the "Poor Conrad" organization and gathered in his blacksmith shop to secretly build a sword for the uprising. Casbal himself was a swordsmith, and the uprising needed a sword. He took the backbone of the organization and began to use the night to forge the sword in the basement to prepare for the uprising.

Even, when Marin took the men and horses and put 100,000 gold coins into Stuttgart, he was also spotted by the spies of the "Poor Conrad" organization.

It's just that "Poor Conrad" is just an amateur farmer's organization, and the spies in it are not good enough to get close to Marin's team. As soon as they wanted to approach, Marin's scouts began to draw their swords ... the other side was scared away ...

And when Marin entered Stuttgart, he deliberately covered his face, and let his men be covered in black robes, covering all the signs of the North Sea country, so as not to scare the "Poor Conrad" organization. After all, the army of the North Sea State is too famous. If the people of the "Poor Conrad" organization were informed that the North Sea State was standing behind the Duke Ulrich, they would not dare to launch an uprising. By then, where did Marin get the population to go to America?

Therefore, Marin deliberately concealed his identity. Even the thousands of people who had assisted the Duke Ulrich before took off their North Sea suits and concealed their flags to avoid scaring the "poor Conrad" people.

Hearing that Marin's visit also brought in owed notes and coins worth 500,000 Gulden gold coins, Ulrich, Duke of Württemberg, was very happy and was ready to entertain Marlin. However, Marin refused.

The reason is very simple. Once Duke Ulrich put on a banquet to entertain Marin, the news that Marin came to Beihai could not be concealed. If you know that a powerful prince with tens of thousands of soldiers is standing behind Duke Ulrich, those peasants dare to rebel?

Duke Ulrich also felt very reasonable, and secretly hosted Marin. At the same time, a password was issued to the people in Stuttgart's palace.

Duke Ulrich is probably the most indebted prince of Germany. Emperor Maximilian I should have been in debt of more than one million, which is poorer than him. But the emperor mortgaged many copper and silver mines, resulting in only a few hundred thousand in arrears. Anyway, he didn't plan to take back those mines. So, in terms of debt, Maximilian I, the poor emperor, has not been as much as the Duke of Ulrich. In terms of debt, Duke Ulrich ranked first in Germany.

Therefore, he was happy with the arrival of Marin. Because, if the cooperation with Marin is successful, his million debts will be paid off in one go. Even, there may be savings ...

During the banquet, Marin would never say anything if he saw no one around, so as not to leave a handle, he began to make a move to the Duke Ulrich:

"After the riot uprising begins, you can send troops to chase those rioting farmers to other people's territory as much as possible, preferably in a place with many people ..."

"In addition, send people into the rioting peasants, deliberately give advice to their chiefs, so that they can as much as possible peasants passing through the area. If you have the opportunity, you can also use their hands to get rid of some nobles who keep talking. As long as those nobles are killed, you can also reclaim their territory and expand your territory. In addition, the money and food stolen by the riotous farmers can also be regarded as your spoils ... "

Ulrich, Duke of Württemberg, nodded again and again, with golden light in his eyes:

"Okay! Okay! Okay! Haha, I'm going to get rich this time ..."

"Black eating black" has always been a good way to get rich, of course, the premise is that you have a good appetite and that strength. Otherwise, it is easy to hold up ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ and Duke Ulrich, as the monarch of the Principality of Württemberg, obviously has the ability to annex the assets of nobles in the country. The premise is that those nobles are dead ...

No matter what aristocracy, even if it is poor, it is just insufficient cash. Generally speaking, the largest assets of noble families are land and various fixed assets. There are three pounds of nails on the rotten ship, not to mention the noble families that have been passed down for hundreds of years As soon as the owner and heir died, the Duke Ulrich had an excuse to take back his fiefs and manor. Of course, including various other fixed assets. Take it for auction and get a lot of money ...

what? Are there guards and servants in those noble estates? This simple, Marin's opinion is to make the Duke Ulrich use the name "prevention of civil rebellion" to recruit the guards and servants under his command, including the militia enlisted in wartime, from the nobles who do not deal with it. However, instead of recruiting them, only leave them one or two attendants ...

In this way, when the peasant uprising army hit these people's manor, because they had no soldiers in their hands, it was difficult for them to resist the peasant army's attack. Then, Duke Ulrich sent people who were mixed into the peasant army, and then bewitched the peasant army to kill those nobles, including their heirs. In this way, the nobleman would be heir. At that time, Duke Ulrich annexed his property, and it was easy ...

This unethical idea of ​​killing with a knife made Duke Ulrich listen to him directly. In order to get enough money, Duke Ulrich also fight. After Marin left, he immediately arranged a few confidants, disguised and dressed up, and mixed into the "Poor Conrad" organization, planning to wait for the peasant army to launch an uprising, and then seized the opportunity to trick the peasants to kill some nobles who did not deal with the Duke ... The peasants were not happy, nor did they mind killing the nobles who did not deal with the Duke. Anyway, after they mixed into the peasant army, their status was "rioting peasant". In the end, it was the peasant army who carried the pan ...
