King of Mercenaries Chapter 212

Published at 14th of June 2023 05:20:38 AM

After Lin's impassioned speech, Marin temporarily went to the backstage to drink a glass of water, relieved. At the same time, let the audience listen to digest the content of their speech.

What Ma Lin does not know is that among the audience present today, a few are bards. The job of these people is to tell stories, tell stories, attract listeners, and get rewards. Marin's own story is too legendary and inspirational. Therefore, these bards secretly wrote down the stories told by Marin, and intended to use them in future speeches and storytelling. You know, the story of those who do this business also needs to be constantly updated. The legends of the knights they usually talk about have been rotten. Now, a legendary version of the reality story is in front of them, and if it is not used, they are really sorry for their profession ...

Later, when these bards wandered in Germany, they spread the story of Marin and caused a huge sensation ...

After many years, the haystack behind the abbey in the small town called Kassel that Marin once slept in has become a holy place in the hearts of all the wandering knights in the German region. Because it was here that the great mercenary king, Marin, was blessed by God and finally rose.

So many tramp knights ran to the haystack behind Kassel Abbey for the night. For nothing else, just to look for that illusory opportunity. Like Marin, I can also be given wisdom by God to become a great military strategist, and it is best to have a life as a king ...

At the same time, Kassel Abbey, smelling business opportunities, copied 19, 20 haystacks from which Marin had slept, lined up behind the monastery and opened for business together. Each haystack sleeps for one night and costs 1 shilling ...

Uh ...

Not to mention gossip, after Marin had enough rest, he immediately presided over the reward ceremony to reward him for his merit in capturing East Frisian.

However, his first reward was not any meritorious officer, but Adler who signed the instrument and announced that he had renounced his inheritance.

Strictly speaking, although Adler did not have any military achievements, he took the initiative to give up the right of inheritance, so that Marin had the meaning of sending troops. Otherwise, Marin is totally untenable.

Everyone understands this. Because in the European Middle Ages, until modern times, they were very orthodox and stricter than in ancient China.

I was in Huaxia, because Chen Sheng and Wu Guang got their heads and shouted the famous phrase "The prince will have a kind of relationship." Therefore, the replacement of the Huaxia dynasty depends on strength.

欧洲 Unlike Europe, Europe has never succeeded in serfdom. So, therefore, in Europe, there will be wars of annexation between nobles, but very few civilians will rise up to become princes.

So, in Europe, the concept of noble blood is deeply rooted. If people without blood of nobility want to be king, there is a great chance that they will be beaten to death.

Therefore, European thrones are often obtained through inheritance and marriage. Of course, the emperor, the pope, and the king are also eligible to seize someone as prince. However, this kind of situation is relatively rare, because you have to pay others as dukes and counts, and pay a lot of territory. In general, the emperors, popes and kings can't bear it.

The seal of Adler was negotiated before. Therefore, Marin directly issued the order without hesitation, seizing the baron of Adler, the land of 5000 Eugram, just outside Lyle County. Among them, 2,000 Ugram are arable land, and all are very fertile arable land. The other 3000 Eugrams are made up of grass, woods and lakes.

This kind of land closure may not be too much in terms of cultivated land. However, in view of the good fertilizer fields, Adler's fiefdom is still quite good.

Adler came forward cheerfully, intending to kneel, **** the Bible to swear allegiance to Marin, and receive the paperwork. But Marin stopped him and announced in public that Adler could take an oath without kneeling, allowing him to stand and take the oath. This is a special favor, limited to the Adler generation, and his descendants cannot enjoy this honor. Moreover, Adler does not need to kneel to Marin regardless of the occasion. This is mainly because Marin's soul is Huaxia after all. His elder brother is like his father. Marin was not taken care of by his brother when he was a child. Even though he passed, he believed that there was no reason for his brother to kneel to his younger brother. Coupled with Adlerken's surrender, Marin gave Adler this privilege, which is valid for life.

Adler was very grateful to Marin for the courtesy, so he stood sincerely and swore allegiance to Marin. After allegiance ended, Marin announced that he would invest in adler to build a castle outside Lyle County, in his fiefdom.

This is also very generous treatment, because building a castle will cost a lot of money. Even if you build an ordinary castle, it will cost tens of thousands of gold coins, requiring an ordinary baron to accumulate for many years.

Once the castle was built, it was when Adler went to Lyle. Adler's wife Liv was so happy that she couldn't shut up. Although, before she was dissatisfied with Marin snatching Adler's inheritance. However, just after hearing Marin 's magical story, she also understood that Marin 's adventures and magical skills were not what her husband Adler could have.

She is very satisfied with the fertile arable land of 2000 Ugram. As for the grass, woods and lakes of the other 3,000 Jugs, it was pure surprise.

My biggest surprise is that castle, but it will cost thousands or even 20,000 gold coins. Can save, don't be too cool.

Moreover, what delights Liv most is that the old Huffman and Mrs. Mary will live in Orich with their uncles and aunts. Then, that castle in Lyle County was her hostess, not Madame Mary.

With Adler's obedient character to Liv's words, to Lier, she is not a baroness led by Baron? If you don't have to dress a lady and a good wife in front of your in-laws, Liv's heart is so beautiful ...

Uh ...

Then, I will reward the soldiers who attacked East Frisian ...

Kahn opened the gates of Emden first because of the charge, while Schwartz and Fronzberg were tied for first place against Orich and Lyle.

For these three people, Marin seized them as barons, and each rewarded 2000 Ugram land, half of which was arable land.

What happened from the baron? This was learned by Marin and later British. Appearing from the Baron in 1611, King James I was a knight of the new "invention" in order to raise funds, which could be used to collect money and can be purchased.

The British baron is more of an honorary status, there is no substantial fiefdom, but it can be hereditary. But Marin took the title of baron more than a hundred years earlier. However, Marin's junior baron was fierce.

Moreover, Marin not only established the title of baron, but also the rank of deputy baron. The specific level is-the baron is higher than the deputy baron, and the deputy baron is higher than the slave baron.

In other words, Marin divided a baron into three levels. Moreover, the standards for each level are also set. For example, the baron land standard is 2000 Ugram farmland; the vice baron land standard is 1500 Ugram farmland; and the baron land standard is 1,000 Ugram farmland.

In addition, Marin also added the Viscount, which is not common in the German region, and is also divided into Viscount, Viscount, and Viscount ...

The reason why this is set up is mainly to facilitate the reward of the generals. If, according to the customs of the German region, only the count and the baron were to be defeated, Schwarz and Fronzberg would both barge the baron. Next time they will make a contribution, will they be the baron? But Marin himself was the earl ...

So, Marin thought to himself, below the count, a rank 6 noble title was established. Moreover, Marin imitated some areas and set up hereditary knights and jazz. Hereditary knights and hereditary jazz have higher status than non-hereditary knights and jazz, but they also belong to lower nobility and are distinguished from higher nobility such as baron by castration.

马 The reason why Marin set up hereditary knights and hereditary jazz was actually to reward those brave soldiers. An officer can reward a baron, but a brave soldier can never be barred, right?

So, Marin simply made the knight class into two ranks too-hereditary knights, three generations of knights and ordinary knights ...

In this way, when Marin rewarded the soldiers, there was a lot of room ...

"Soldier, are you brave in battle, aren't you? OK, you're an ordinary knight!"

"What? You cut off the other officer's officer? The credit is greater, right? Okay, you're the three generations of knights!"

"Ah? You killed the other general? OK! You are hereditary knights, and the offspring are all nobles! Are you satisfied?"

Uh ...

In other words, in order to reward the generals, the Marin empire has set up a total of six senior titles, including Viscount, Vice Viscount, Viscount, Baron, Vice Baron, and Baron, and three lower ranks, hereditary knights, three generations knights, and knights . At the same time, in order to reward civil servants, three lower ranks of hereditary jazz, three generations of jazz and ordinary jazz were also established.

In short, the more titles you have, the more convenient it will be to reward your subordinates, and the more room for promotion. However, not all titles have corresponding fiefdoms.

Sir Bian does not grant land, and the knight may not have it. Only when there is enough warfare, will the knight be assigned a corresponding land.

Even if it is a senior title, it may not be a land. Marin stipulates that all senior titles, only those obtained through combat, will be matched with corresponding fiefdoms. Moreover, the war effort is not large enough, and it may not necessarily obtain a corresponding fiefdom.

In addition to high-ranking titles, in addition to exchange of military skills ~ www.novelhall.com ~ can also be sealed to civilian officials. However, civil servants will not be given a corresponding title if they are given a senior title.

The title of the civil servant was sacked, and a decoration was added in front of it-"the court" ...

For example, the baron, the corresponding civil servant can be subject to court baron, deputy baron, and court baron. However, as long as the word "palace" is added, it means that the land has not been responded, but it can be hereditary or you can buy the land yourself. But it is not a fiefdom, it is necessary to pay taxes normally.

Through the newly established 6 ranks of high rank and 3 ranks of low rank, Marin fully satisfied the reward requirements of the soldiers. With a simple division method of "ranking seats and eating fruit", it was given to all successful officers Corresponding titles and lands.

However, because of the small land area in East Frisian Land, Marin was more embarrassed on the land. However, martyrs who did not grant land titles generally paid a lot of money for them to buy their own land. However, the land bought by the soldiers will be subject to tax in the future. In this way, Marin did his best to avoid the loss of future taxes. Because every time Marin seals a piece of territory, it means that the land will not be taxed in the future. Therefore, on the issue of land closures, Marin was hesitant to give cash instead of giving land closures easily ...

The senior knights were registered by Marin in person, just a few people. In addition to Adler, Kahn, Schwartz and Fronzberg, Marin also seized Kohler as the court baron and Jeffrey as the court baron.

But in order to compensate Kohler, Marin privately donated 1000 Ugram's fiefdom to Kohler, but not publicly ...

As for the reward of low-ranking soldiers, Marin was thrown to Schwartz and Flenzberg to award. And himself, he ran away lazily. By the way, go play a little Angela who just arrived from Denborg ...
