Chapter 722: Swiss prisoners of war once again captured
When Marin introduced his men to the tribute room and idea of using Mao Zigong, his friends were shocked ...
"It's ... a bit inhumane ..." Prime Minister Jeffrey swallowed and only felt cold in his crotch.
"What's inhumane? It's justified to guard against the taint of the bloodline!" Kohler is Marlin's diehard and directly supports Marin's approach.
"Well, Master's decision is all right!" Kahn expressed his support without saying a word, whether it was good or not.
A bunch of civilian officials hesitated, but Schwartz's words dispelled their doubts:
"You, the Grand Duke, are not castrated their own people, but the Ross aliens bought from the Crimean barbarians. And, the Ross are pagans. So, what does their crucifixion have to do with us? It ’s not that They became slaves and castrated ... "
Schwartz's words unraveled the hearts of the civil servants-yeah, unfortunately the Ross people, and our hairy relationship? As a result, everyone supported Marin's formation of a courthouse. Just a requirement-never use Germans and Catholics as eunuchs ...
Marin naturally agreed with their demands. Anyway, he did not intend to engage in any **** in the country, which is indeed inhumane. However, the matter of Maozi ... that was also done by the Crimean barbarians. As for Marin himself, at most provided a disinfection program ... Well, it seems that it also stimulated the enthusiasm of the Crimean Khanate to catch Maozi men-in the past, because of the high mortality rate of castration infection, Crimean people caught The man who catches Maozi is not very interested ...
But regardless of him, Malin Ben wanted to suppress Mao Zi's rise. Therefore, letting the Crimean barbarian catch more Maozi men can be regarded as weakening Maozi ...
...
Over time, it was finally time to release the Swiss prisoners of war. The Habsburg family also sent tens of thousands of cavalry to rush from Austria and Switzerland.
In order to capture these Swiss prisoners of war, Maximilian I suspended the attack on the western part of Switzerland. Then, the horses in their hands were gathered, and tens of thousands of troops were sent to the South Münster area. They were temporarily stationed in the Principality of Cliff, which had a good relationship with the Habsburg family.
Of course, not all these 10,000 troops are true cavalry. The cavalry is actually only 4,000, and the other 6,000 are actually infantry on horseback.
Horse farming is popular in Europe, and there are many ordinary people with horses. Therefore, there are many infantrymen who can ride horses in the Habsburg family army. Although they may not understand horse fighting, there is no problem in riding a horse. In order to hurry, Maximilian I also concentrated 20,000 horses in his hand, giving these 10,000 men the need to rush and transfer.
Even in order to save time, these 10,000 troops did not bring much grain and grass, but brought a lot of money with them to purchase grain and grass along the way.
Although the overhead is a bit larger, compared with the matter of catching the 80,000 Swiss prisoners of war, this overhead is nothing.
You should know that these 80,000 Swiss prisoners of war, once successfully returned to Switzerland, can immediately be converted into powerful combat power. Then, the Swiss battle balance will be instantly broken. The Habsburg family may be expelled from Switzerland because of their military weakness ...
Switzerland is the "Longxing Land" of the Habsburg family. How can it be abandoned? Moreover, Switzerland is really big ... Although there are more mountains, but the area is large enough ... After taking Switzerland, most of the losses of the Principality of Burgundy annexed by France can be recovered immediately ...
To this end, Maximilian I did not hesitate to spend a lot of money for the success, so that the soldiers could purchase supplies on the spot in order to save time and catch up with the Swiss mercenaries.
When the 10,000 armies of the Habsburg family arrived in the Principality of Cliff, the leader of the army sent a letter to Marin. After receiving the letter, Marin knew that it could be released.
So, Marin visited the Swiss prisoners in a pretentious manner. Then, each person was provided with a food bag, and several silver coins were issued to them as travel expenses for returning to their hometown ... What's special, this is too much like a certain army's policy of preferring prisoners ...
The Swiss prisoners of war were really moved-mother, they actually gave back food and travel expenses, so intimate and so warm ... But when these Swiss prisoners of war demanded the delivery of weapons, Marin sternly refused and explained— —You are all mercenaries and give you weapons. I am afraid that you will not help robbing the people along the way ... The Grand Duke ca n’t bear to see you hurt those people ... So, you ca n’t give you weapons and save you from harming the people ...
Then, on the border between South Münster and the Principality of Cliff, Marin waved goodbye to the 80,000 Swiss mercenaries:
"I often come to play in the future!" Marin said with a smile.
"Play an egg!" The Swiss mercenaries said in their hearts. This was the day when they were dug to dig a canal, but they never wanted to do it again. Although during the digging of the canal, Marin did not have less to eat. However, it's really painful and tiring. Digging the soil all the time, picking the soil, the workload, the eldest, the sweat per day, it is estimated that it must be calculated in pounds, and the ghost is willing to come again ...
After leaving the territory of Münster, the Swiss mercenaries were in a good mood, and even sang their hometown songs while walking ...
However, soon they could not sing. The next day, when they walked to Wessel on the east bank of the Rhine River to cross the river, tens of thousands of cavalry suddenly appeared on the side-the emperor's army waited for them for a long time ...
Following these Swiss routes, crossing the river from Wessel is the first choice. Therefore, the people of Maximilian I chose Wessel as the location of the ambush.
This is also the agreement between Marin and Maximilian I-don't start arresting people at the border. If that were the case, the three-year-old would understand that he had already colluded with Maximilian I. In this way, Marin's pressure will be particularly great. After all, he has been rejected by the nobles. If you do it again ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ will become the eyes of the princes ...
