Chapter 247: Final profit
Bishop Conrad passed out, and there was no leader in the city of Münster. Malin left and waited until he could reply, so he was impatient. So, the artillery was ordered to fire.
Although the Münster knew a bit about the Danish battlefield, they, who had the Holy See and the Archbishop of Cologne as backers, did not care. Therefore, they did not change the iron gate, nor did they nail the iron sheet on the gate. Therefore, it is still a pure oak city gate. In this way, the 24-pound Karen gun in Marin's hands worked.
In the rumble of gunfire, the north gate of Munster was quickly smashed into a hole. Then, the blasting team went up and blew up the North Gate ...
However, this is useless ...
It turned out that the interior of the North Gate of Münster has been built into a wall by the bricklayer ...
Although the blasting team blew up the North Gate, however, the gate-blocking items inside the gate were no longer scattered bricks and wood that were easy to explode, but a wall of condensation ...
There was a feeling of beeping dogs at Marlington-you built the city gate to death, don't you plan to come out?
Then, he wrote angrily and handed it to the city through a gondola, saying-I'm going to Ritterberg in the southeast to catch people ...
Unfortunately, when the letter was delivered, Bishop Conrad had not yet awakened and naturally could not receive the threat of Marin.
Angrily angry, Marin really sent 3000 soldiers to the direction of Rietberg on the southeast ...
However, Marin is actually just sitting. Because the 3,000 men and horses he dispatched were all infantrymen. If you want to rush to Ritterberg, it is estimated that you have to wait until the next day. If all the cavalry were sent, it would be estimated that they could arrive that night.
When the three thousand soldiers separated by Marin drove away, Bishop Conrad finally woke up. When he saw Marin's threat letter and learned that Marin really sent two or three thousand people to the southeast, he was anxious.
In this era, European nobles were most concerned about "noble glory" and "family glory". Marin really sent people to Ritterberg to capture his brother and nephew, just to humiliate the Ritterberg family. If it is true that his brother and nephew streaking outside Münster and talking to the sow at night, then the Rietberg family will become the biggest laughing stock in Europe, with almost no face in the world.
In desperation, seeing the catastrophe is coming, Bishop Conrad finally lowered his proud head and chose to surrender ...
After receiving Conrad's letter of surrender, Marin was very pleased and quickly sent his cavalry to call back the three thousand soldiers who had made appearances. The 3,000 people he sent did not go far. Because, Marin told them clearly-they just acted a play.
However, although Bishop Conrad surrendered. However, before the four gates, he was blocked by his order. So, Marin and his army wanted to enter the city, first to remove the walls that blocked the door ...
Fortunately, when these walls are being built, they are simply laid with mud instead of some special adhesives. Therefore, when Marin sent out engineering troops and hundreds of "yellow sledgehammers" came out with demolition hammers, these newly built walls were also broken down little by little.
After three days in a row, the dead wall of the North City Gate was smashed open. And the dead wall inside the city gate in the east-west direction has not yet started to smash ...
After the city gate hole of the North City Gate was cleaned up, Marin put on a full set of plate armor, led a large group of people, and arranged a neat team, entered the city of Münster with great force.
The reason for putting on a full set of plate armor is obviously that Marin is afraid of death. You know, the city of Münster has not yet fallen into its own control. Who knows if there are any assassins in the city who are against it? What if I was shot in the face with a bow and arrow in ordinary clothes?
In history, assassinated kings are not rare. The famous Caesar was assassinated by the old man of the Senate. Caesar wore a silk robe to the meeting, of course, there was no protection, and was slashed by the stunned son of the Senate ...
The full set of plate armor on the Marin ship, except for the heavy crossbow and the musket, basically will not suffer any harm. The heavy crossbow is too large to hide and cannot be used for assassination. As for the muskets, the relatively backward area of Bishop Munster is not equipped yet. After all, this is a religious country with relatively restrictive speech and does not have a cold on technology. Therefore, in this era, muskets generally appear in countries and regions that are more open-minded, rather than religiously supreme countries like the Bishop of Munster.
Marin Yao took the army with great force and came to the cathedral in Münster, where he saw the unhappy Bishop Conrad ...
Ma Linxin said-I like to see you look uncomfortable to me but I can't help it. Then, in the solemn church, Marin danced a nondescript dance in front of the suppressed Bishop Conrad ...
Because of wearing a full set of plate armor, Marin's dance is very fast for mechanical dance. Of course, the indigenous people in the 16th century would not understand what a mechanical dance ...
Seeing Marin's face, Bishop Conrad was really angry, and almost wanted to rush up and fight with Marin. However, under the obstruction of the bishops, Bishop Conrad abandoned this irrational behavior.
Of course, even if Bishop Conrad rushed up, it didn't matter. Marin wore a full set of plate armor, and even had a raised protective armor at the crotch. Even standing up and beating the older Bishop Conrad, the final result is Conrad ’s own hands and feet ...
After the discussion is over, it is natural to enter the topic. Next, there is the handover of power.
Unlike the general surrender, Conrad, although he has lost his secular rule, is still the bishop of this city, and he also controls the religious rights of this country. Therefore, Conrad does not need to surrender everything ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ and will not become a captive, only need to hand over secular governance and city defense. Of course, there is military control.
Resisting his anger, Conrad handed over the piles of books and rosters of Bishop Munster to Marin. At the same time, the command of 4,000 troops in the city was also transferred. In addition, Conrad also handed over a "city gate key" that symbolizes the control of Münster.
In fact, the Munsters are not locked at all, but bolted. Handing over the keys is more symbolic.
In this regard, Marin had already prepared. This time he went south, he brought dozens of civil servants in order to take over the affairs of the Bishop of Munster. Among these dozens of people, there are 10 college students of this age.
After receiving the account books and rosters handed over from Bishop Conrad, the dozen or so civilian staff found an office place and began to work.
The Bishop of Munster is different from the secular countries in general. In this country, civilian officials are basically missionaries, not secular aristocrats. Of course, there are also some noble children hired from outside, for example, the noble children of Ritterberg.
Because this is an all-round handover of secular governance, the workload is huge. The reappointment and removal of officials alone is a very huge project. After all, this is not a small country. The Bishop of Münster is a great princehood with a population of 10,200 square kilometers and a population of 500,000. If you want to truly gain the secular rule of the country, you must replace the original officials and replace them with officials who are loyal to yourself. And the number of officials demand is so huge, and its source makes Marin have a headache ... 8)
