Because of Albert's relationship, Marin decided to let the Gust family go and return the Gust family's fief to them for management. However, the supply of fertilizers has not decreased. In this way, the income of the Gust family will increase seven or eight times, and become a veritable wealthy aristocrat.

After all, the output of rye from one mu of land, after deducting nearly 100 pounds of seed input, serfs’ food and drink expenses, and tithes that need to be paid, has a net profit of at most 50 pounds per mu. However, if new agricultural techniques were used, the cost per acre would still be less than a hundred pounds of rye. However, the yield per acre reached upwards of 500 pounds. As a result, the income per acre is almost 400 pounds, which is basically 8 times the original income.

The Gust family originally had 1,000 Ugrams of arable land, or 12,000 mu. Originally, the annual net income was 600,000 pounds. In fact, probably only 300,000 pounds because of fallow.

But since the use of fertilizer, the fields have not been left fallow, and the annual income has reached 4.8 million pounds of rye. So much rye, according to the market price, is worth 80,000 gold coins. Even at the lowest wholesale price, 30% off the market price is worth 56,000 gold coins. The amount of money basically made the Gust family dumbfounded. You know, in the past, their family's annual income was only a few thousand gold coins...

In addition, Baron Gust's youngest son John, the younger brother of Miss Gust, was only 14 years old, and as a squire, followed Albert to Amerigo Island.

Baron Gust understood that he and his eldest son Alan were both incompetent. Otherwise, the Gust family would not have been marginalized by Marin. Now, the younger son John is still smart. So, Baron Gust simply asked John to serve as a squire for Albert. If you can learn something from Prince Albert, who is said to be very intelligent, that is the best. Even if he doesn't learn anything, as his brother-in-law, Prince Albert will definitely take care of him.

Seeing the Gust family come back to life, many marginalized families are mad with jealousy. Then they suddenly remembered - it seems that Prince Simon is still single...

As a result, a bunch of marginalized noble families sent their best girls to stay in Aurich, organize some noble dances, and frequently invited Prince Simon to participate, trying to impress Prince Simon, marrying himself out, and serving himself The family fights for the chance to come back to life.

However, these families did not know that old Hoffman was determined to let Simon marry a princess. Therefore, old Hoffman was very dissatisfied with the seduction of those noble ladies. Then, Simon was grounded and was not allowed to go to the dances organized by those noble ladies.

For the old Hoffman's princess plot, Marin is also a little speechless. However, he could not persuade old Hoffman, so he went with him.

In fact, Simon wants to find a princess and its tough? He is the third son and has no right of inheritance. In the future, according to the normal script, Marin will probably make him a baron, give him a baronial title, and let him feel at ease.

However, the princesses of those vassal states would be willing to marry a baron? Any princess with a good appearance must want to marry a prince who has the right to inherit. In the future, I would like to be a queen or a duchess and countess. The Baroness - seems a bit low class...

Only those princesses who are ugly, or whose country is too weak, will marry a prince who has no right to inherit. And old Hoffman was planning to ask Simon to find a princess from a weak vassal state as his wife. In this way, the second generation of the Hoffman family can finally have a princess daughter-in-law...

...

While the influence of the court ball was still fermenting, Kohler suddenly came to report that George, Duke of Saxony, was defeated in West Frisian...

Marin was taken aback. You must know that this time, in order to eliminate the enemy, George made a ruthless effort and gathered another 10,000 troops to come to West Frisian for reinforcements.

It is said that George personally took 15,000 troops to West Frisland to find the main force of the "West Frisian Resistance Army" for a decisive battle.

It stands to reason that George has so many soldiers and horses, and most of them are elite veterans, even if they can't beat the Gedes army, they won't lose so fast. You must know that 3,000 of the 13,000 troops of the Gedes army are pure waste. There are only 10,000 people with strong fighting power. In the face of the 15,000 army led by George, it will not be so strong...

"It's like this, young master, it is said that it was Charles II, Duke of Geddes, who hired 4,000 Swiss mercenaries to join the war and defeated Duke George's army."

"No wonder..." Marin nodded. If there were another 4 thousand Swiss mercenaries, it would make sense. After all, the combat effectiveness of Swiss mercenaries is definitely stronger than that of the Saxon army.

"Also, you know the leader of this Swiss mercenary..."

"I know? It can't be Zig, right?" Marin remembered that the only Swiss mercenary commander he knew seemed to be Zig. Moreover, if it wasn't for Zig's mercenary group, his territory at that time, Texel Island, might have been occupied by the Frisian noble republic at that time...

"It's Captain Sieg, and this time, Captain Sieg and the 4,000 Swiss mercenaries under his command are too cunning. They didn't show up at all at the beginning of the war, but hid aside..."

"When the main force of the Saxon army and the army of the Duchy of Geddes fought for a long time, and both sides were exhausted, they suddenly rushed out from the flank and defeated the left flank of the Saxon army in one fell swoop. Then, the Saxon army was defeated and fled..."

"First there was an ambush, and then the enemy was tired and attacked the left flank... This Zig is not easy, he has used tactics..."

"Hehe, young master, I heard that Commander Sieg, it seems that after learning to ambush here, he suddenly became enlightened and learned to fight with his brain instead of being reckless. Now, Commander Sieg is known as the Swiss side. What about 'Fox'. His 'Zig's Mercenary Regiment' is also known as the 'Fox Mercenary Regiment'..."

"Haha, learned from me? However, this Zig has two brushes. After all, he is a genius to have this understanding without me teaching him."

You must know that first let the main force engage the enemy, dampen the enemy's vigor, and then send the elite to suddenly attack from the enemy's flank or behind. That is Tang Taizong Li Shimin's unique trick. Li Shimin's black-armored cavalry was specially designed to attack the enemy's flank or behind when the enemy's morale was frustrated. Relying on this trick, Li Shimin helped the Tang Dynasty and conquered thousands of miles of land.

And the hero of later generations, Genghis Khan, was also very good at using this trick. Specifically, first use the main force of 100,000 cavalry to confront the enemy, or use the "mangu gang" tactics to consume the enemy. When the enemy is exhausted from chasing, morale is low. Suddenly, the elites were dispatched to outflank the enemy. Relying on this tactic, the Mongolian cavalry swept across the Eurasian continent.

Even the little devils of later generations are very good at this trick. Jiang's bald-headed army was defeated again and again by the little devils in this way. It was only later that I encountered Balu, who never confronted the devil, and the devil's trick was not easy to use. If people don't face you directly, they won't be able to consume personnel and morale. You want to flank left and right, but you can't find your opponent...

The consequence of this is that Jiang Baldtou's army is fighting less and less, while the Eighth Road is fighting more and more. When the Anti-Japanese War is over, the strength of the two sides in the civil war is already close...

...

It is indeed a gift for Ziger to be able to come up with such tactics in Europe in the early 16th century when tactics were rigid. However, the Swiss do not seem to be on the same page as themselves. Therefore, Sieg might meet him on the battlefield someday. At that time, it is necessary to prevent him from using this trick.

Of course, it is not very likely to fight the ambush of the East Frisian army. Because, every time he played, Marin's sentry would be scattered far away. Also, they brought binoculars. If you want to fight Marin's ambush, it's not that difficult...

George's 15,000 troops set off in high spirits. However, only 3,000 people are said to have fled back to Groningen. Marin was certain that George would soon lose West Frisian. By then, there will be a good show. After all, George has many allies. When George finds allies, there is still a big drama to be staged...
