Marin originally wanted to leave Vienna early and go home. However, the emperor left Marin for propaganda, and cooperated with the emperor in "activities" and became "models."
Whenever foreign envoys and representatives of the Principalities and Bosnia come to Vienna, the emperor will bring them with Marin. The emperor would then "kindly" introduce Marin, an "empire hero" to the guests. And Marin, at this time, had to stand up and bow to pay tribute, with a smirk on his face, and by the way, put some pulling POSE to let the guests watch ...
Then, everyone will watch Marin like a monkey and comment from time to time. Many people have questioned Marin's merit, because Marin is too thin. In the eyes of some aristocrats advocating force, Marin who defeated 8,000 French knights must be a muscular man at least 2 meters tall. Who knows, after seeing Marin himself, I knew that the other party was just a boy who was 1.75 meters tall (longer) and slightly thinner ...
The emperor will then tell his guests about Marin's flicker. Marin, on the other hand, poses and cooperates with the emperor's speech ...
He worked for the emperor for a month as a "model" with no pay, and Marin was allowed to leave Vienna with his men. With a look of sorrow, Marin came to the people's residence in the west of the city and ordered everyone to leave.
"Boss, do you?" Schwartz ran over and asked strangely. The name "Boss" is because Marin has watched more Hong Kong films in his previous life and feels that he is very imposing. Moreover, he didn't like the term "adult" too, and just let Schwartz and others call him the boss in private. As for the attendants, such as Kahn and Kohler, they continued to be called masters.
"Nothing, my boss is exhausted these days, and I pose with the emperor every day, just like a puppet ..." Marin said angrily.
"Boss, don't be too contented. To be with the emperor, the whole empire doesn't know how many people envy you ..." Schwartz rolled his eyes. If the emperor was willing to take him out to show, he would have liked it. Really more than people, annoying people. However, who is Marin, who is awesome. As for why they could ambush the French, he couldn't figure it out until now.
Of course, if he wants to understand, there is a ghost. Who knows, Marin is a rider?
Marin's number one dog, Kohler, quickly came over to report the situation-the extra horses in his hand were shot in Austria. Austria is the richest region in Germany. Although there are far fewer wealthy people than Venice, they are definitely stronger than those noble territories in the north. Because Austria is also a prosperous region with developed agriculture. And in agriculturally developed regions, the demand for horses is also great. Therefore, Kohler in Austria, lowered some prices, it is easy to sell the extra 1,000 horses.
Then, there were 200 stallions, 800 mares left in Kohler's hands, and 30 war horses recovered from the emperor with Marin, a total of 1,030.
When Marin accompanied the emperor on the "show", Schwartz and others also taught their 400 men and learned to ride horses. When I hurried back from Italy to Austria, we had to walk along with each other because we had to work with the large troops. Now that Marin has taken everyone out of the army, he can naturally ride on horseback. In addition, 400 people have 1030 horses, and everyone can change their horses with two horses, and they can speed up the road.
"Brothers, it's time to go! When I get to my territory, I will give everyone some land to make your family a self-cultivator. And, if there is no wife, I will give you a way!"
"Thank you, thank you!" Everyone cheered.
These people who come out as mercenaries have poor family conditions. Many people are simply some estates, and the serf owners thought they were overpopulated and rushed out. Many people are from serfdom families, and have no land at all. They went back and had nothing to rely on, so they might as well follow Marin. At least Marin is now a baron and can afford them. Most of those who left the team before were self-cultivated farmers, and their identities were relatively free. Unlike many who stayed, many were still serf children. If they go back, the serf-owner will continue to enslave them once he is happy. Probably, that 100 gold coin will also be stolen.
Then he followed Marin, and Marin posed to lift them up so that they would become free people. Could they not be happy? Free people in Europe are rampant. If you do n’t see him, many revolutions in France were initiated by the group of free citizens in Paris? Who's heard of the serf revolution? Although there are, it is not a climate at all. Because serfs became accustomed to slaves and lacked the desire and confidence to fight. The free people themselves are very confident. As long as there are many people, they dare to confront the monarch ...
Afterwards, Marin asked someone to write for them (this group is basically illiterate), helped them write a homework, and told their families to prepare for immigration. If it's okay, when Marin settles on Texel, he will send someone to pick them up. If there is a problem, such as the original serf owner who did not let people go, Marin will go through official channels and even pay a little compensation to get the families of the soldiers.
Marin did not let these soldiers go home to pick up people. On the one hand, he was afraid that they would never return. On the other hand, Kohler had more than 300,000 gold coins in his hand to escort. If a man runs out and the army comes to grab money, he cannot resist.
I said, Marin still does not know what is happening on Texel. It would be bad if you hurriedly picked people up and had nowhere to settle.
Of course, when Marin propaganda, it is naturally the last reason. Moreover, this reason is very reasonable ...
After unifying everyone's thinking, Marin took everyone, two horses or three horses, and hurried to the Huffman Manor on the Ruhr ...
Uh ...
Halfway along, Marin and someone from an Italian chamber of commerce previously commissioned in Venice exchanged money in Cologne. Marin seized a total of 7,000 sets of plate armor on this trip to Italy (Charlie VIII finally took off the plate armor for the last 2000 knights to escape) and 5000 sets of horse armor (not counting the 2000 war horses seized) Body). In the end, he handed in only 6,000 plate armors (including those for the Venetian) and 4,000 horse armors. The remaining 1,000 plate armor and 1000 horse armors were commissioned by a reputable Italian Chamber of Commerce to send them to Cologne.
As for why this is because the plate armor and horse armor are huge, these are all corrupted by Marin and cannot be seen by the emperor. The gold coins, because of their small size, are enough to fit in a bullock cart. Besides, he was assured to escorted the armor to others, and he was not assured to entrust hundreds of thousands of gold coins to others. What if the escorting person is guilty of corrupting those gold coins?
支付 After paying a small sum of money, Marin took everyone, and took the plate armor and horse armor of several carts, and proceeded to Bochum ...
News transmission in the Middle Ages is relatively lagging. Marin's heroic deeds are currently only widely spread in Austria, Swabian and Burgundy. In other regions, the aristocracy did not help propaganda, so the news was transmitted more slowly than the three regions mentioned above.
When Marin was in Austria, some fans were watching on the march. But out of Austria, with the exception of those soldiers guarding the city nervously coming to question, the others simply ignored the Marin group.
Suddenly, when he came to the Rhine and Ruhr rivers, most people did not know the deeds of Marin at all, only if he was a passerby. This leaves Marin, who has received much attention in Austria, a bit lost. UU reading books www.uukanshu.com Of course, this is not bad. At least, he was no longer worried about people watching while he was marching. When in Austria, many people saw the black cross and white vests worn by their troops, and they knew that they were the "Black Cross" who defeated the French king, and then there were onlookers, affecting everyone on their way ...
Too much, when Marin arrived, he simply let everyone take off the black cross vest, so as not to be surrounded by monkeys ...
He was in northern Germany, and his fame had not yet passed on. So, they put on black cross white vest again ...
抵达 After arriving in Bochum, the old Huffman and Adler, who had received the letter in advance, had already taken 10 attendants with them, waiting at the intersection ...
Marin went home this time, and it was very different from the last time. The last time Marin returned home after failing to apply, the old Huffman could still take him down.
However, this time back, Marin has become an empire baron and a baron with a dominion. His status is very different from that of the trainee knight. Even the old Huffman had to take Marin seriously.
Europe, unlike the East in the same period, emphasizes filial piety. In medieval Europe, knighthood was everything. Even as Marin's father, the old Huffman must respect Marin who has been promoted to baron. Because Marin is higher than him ...
Of course, as a father, the old Huffman did not have to salute Marin, but he could no longer scold Marin as a baron ...
When Marin showed up with 400 people and thousands of horses near the intersection, Marin's cheaper brother Adler showed a strong envy look ...
