After one night, Marin's army was considered to have completely controlled the city of Emden, and the weapons in the hands of the residents, even kitchen knives, were temporarily confiscated.
Early the next morning, Marin gathered all the corpses on the street in the square, and invited the priest from the church in the city to pray for them. At the same time, Marin asked the residents of the city to come and claim the bodies of their family members. However, in secret, Marin sent someone to secretly record the identities of these people...
It wasn't that Marin wanted to kill the families of these rebels, but that since Marin had killed their families, he had formed an insoluble hatred with them. Therefore, Marin will definitely monitor these people in the future. Therefore, he must be aware of it, so as to avoid being rebelled by others without knowing it.
The statistics shocked Marin a lot—the city of Emden only has 5,000 residents, but yesterday, more than 1,200 people took part in the fighting on the streets, reaching a quarter of the total population. And if the families of these people are counted, it is estimated that half of the residents of Emden have a death feud with Marin...
Marin was really frightened, and he began to dare not continue to use Emden as the capital. Because, having a deadly feud with half of the city's residents, will there still be a lack of people to assassinate him in the future
For the safety of himself and his family, Marin decided to kill the grass. Of course, he will not be crazy enough to kill the families of those resisters. But it was by no means possible to keep them in Emden.
For this reason, Marin decided to come up with an oriental way of dealing with rebels—even sitting...
As for a more specific solution, it is exile...
This trick was learned from the Tsar. At the beginning, the tsar treated his opponents and exiled them to the cold Siberia to play with the bears.
Marin does not have Jedi exiles like Siberia, but they can be exiled to North America and let them play with Indians...
For this reason, Marin became ruthless, and after claiming the corpses, he sent people to control the families of the civilians who died in battle according to the list, announced that they would be punished as slaves, and put them in centralized custody.
When Marin went to visit the family members of the controlled dead, sure enough, Marin saw Chiguoguo's hatred in their eyes...
In fact, this is not surprising. If you think about it in your own shoes, if Marin's own family was killed, he would also want to kill the guy who killed his family. Therefore, these people will definitely not be able to win over. It is better to find an opportunity to exile them all and let them fend for themselves.
The city of Emden is very important to East Frisia, because it is the best port city in East Frisia. And Marin is good at trading, and an important city like Emden City must be in his own hands. Therefore, the family members of the deceased of about 1,300 people must not stay in the city. If they destroy it one day, the loss will be great.
At this time, in the royal palace in the center of Emden, King Edsard I walked around the room anxiously. He has seen the total strength of Marin, as many as several thousand people. And he has only 500 knights, guarding the castle. However, the castle was surrounded and it was almost impossible to break out. And after a long time, the food in the castle must not be able to withstand consumption. Edsard I calculated and found that the food in the castle could last up to 10 days. Because these 500 fighters are all big-bellied men...
After 10 days, there will be no food in the castle. At that time, there might be a soldier who was so hungry that he would voluntarily surrender. Once someone opened the castle gate, it was almost certain that he and his family would be captured.
However, Edsad I knew that the other party would definitely not let him go. Because, the other party didn't come to rob, but came to ask for the earl. It's just that he couldn't figure it out, isn't the other party a descendant of an intermarriage? Why do you still dare to raise troops to beat yourself? Even if he is defeated, does he have the legal right to become the earl of East Frisia
Marin quickly told him this question...
On the morning of the third day, Marin convened the representatives of the whole city. On the square south of the palace, he took out the forged document "Earl Brock confers the title of baron to the Savannah family" and invited the priests and elders in the city on the spot We identify on the spot...
And where can these people be identified? You know, Marin's craftsmanship is professional. Moreover, even the parchment he used for counterfeiting was old, and he knew it was an old thing at a glance. And the text on the parchment, after being aged, looks like it was signed a long time ago...
Therefore, no one in the whole city could see that there was any problem, and nothing wrong was found. Therefore, everyone present acknowledged the authenticity of this document.
As for the archiving issue, it is easier - the original archive was destroyed by the rebellious Ukner family. Marin also explained that even the Sexner family didn't know about it, only the old Ukner who betrayed him knew it. However, old Ukner has been dead for many years, who can ask him for proof
Moreover, Marin's explanation is quite reasonable. At the beginning, after the success of the old Ukna rebellion, it was true that many files of the Brock family were destroyed when they were in power. Maybe, the bottom file of Marin's file was destroyed at that time...
Then, Marin presented the document in which Mrs. Mary transferred the inheritance rights to herself, and the document in which Adler renounced the inheritance rights of East Frisia, formally legally proving his right to inherit the earldom of East Frisia.
When Marin announced loudly on the square south of the palace that he was the legitimate Earl of East Frisia, Edsard I, who was standing in the castle and heard the news, had his nose crooked—why am I not dead yet? , you want to take away the earl title, you bastard...
But Edsard I also saw that in Emden, he was gone. Stay here, there is nothing to hope for. So, he decided to use the hole cards left by his family...
"Ma'am, let's escape together!" Edsard I said to his newly married wife, Elizabeth, the daughter of Earl Rieterberg.
"But, my dear, we are surrounded, how can we leave?"
"Our family has long considered this possibility. So, back then, my father left a secret passage leading directly outside the city..."
"Oh, that's great, let's go! By the way, what about the soldiers in the castle? Take them away?"
"I can't take it. Outside the secret passage, there are only two horses prepared, which happens to be one for each of us. There is nothing extra for the others. If we bring this group of soldiers, they may compete with us for horses..." King Edessaad I He is a smart man, and he knows very well that in times of crisis, some people will reveal their nature. Especially when there are only two fleeing horses, some soldiers may turn their faces and snatch the horses with themselves or their wives. Therefore, he decided to take only his wife and flee to Aurich, another important town in East Frisia. Then, with Aurich as the center, he summoned soldiers and horses from all over the country to fight against that kid named Marin Hoffman.
After all, the whole of East Frisia can also gather seven or eight thousand people. Not counting the thousands lost in the city, six or seven thousand people could be recruited elsewhere. There are so many people, plus Aurich's strong city walls, not to mention defeating the enemy, at least they can guarantee invincibility, as well as their own glory and wealth.
As for the 500 elites in the city, Edessaad I was also very reluctant. So, he decided to tell them where the secret path is by leaving a letter. Go first by yourself, and when these subordinates find the letters he left behind, they will also escape along the secret path, and don't worry about them snatching his horse...
So, after leaving the letter in his room, Edsad I took his wife, some important identification items and gold, and fled through the tunnel...
It is a coincidence that the tunnel exit of Edsard I is also in the east of the city, only a few hundred meters away from the yard where Marin dug the tunnel. It seems that when Edsard I's father dug the tunnel, he also fully considered the issue of groundwater.
At the exit of the tunnel, Edsard I quickly found the owner of the small yard guarding the exit, and successfully got the two horses that had been prepared here for a long time.
Then, the husband and wife got on their horses and headed east all the way to the city of Aurich...
However, Edsard didn't know that Marin deployed 400 cavalry outside the city in order to prevent the news of the attack on Emden from leaking out. Among them, most of them are arranged in the east of the city...
Then, Edsard I was a tragedy...
Edsard I and his wife's horses are good horses, but what he is facing is the interception of hundreds of knights...
Soon, the couple fell into the hands of Sauer...
In the beginning, Sauer didn't even think he was Edsard I because both his wife and husband put on civilian clothes. But after searching behind him, Sauer was very excited when he found the identity certificate of Edsard I—the crown and the golden scepter...
Captured the leader of the enemy, how much credit is this? Saul was very happy. However, it is also very important for how Edsard I escaped. So, he immediately began to ask Edsard I how he escaped. However, Edsard I seemed to be very stubborn, and he didn't say anything after being beaten.
In desperation, Sauer began to extract a confession from his wife Elizabeth. At first, Elizabeth refused to say anything, but Sauer threatened that if she didn’t say anything, she would let her friends learn from her. Elizabeth was finally scared, so she told the truth...
Sauer didn't dare to neglect, and immediately sent someone to block the tunnel exit, and sent someone to report to Marin immediately...
