If we go back a few decades later, most of the Dutch believe in the Calvinism era, and even a Dutch man would not want it. After all, this Calvinism was a professional rebellion and attacking the king.

But now it is different. Calvinism has not yet emerged, and the Dutch are still Catholics. Even Calvin's unlucky child has been killed by Marin's order.

Yes, Calvin was killed by Marin! Last year, John Calvin, who was just a 4-year-old child, was killed by the killer sent by Marin...

Just for this matter, Marin repented for several days. Because it was really a bit despicable to murder a child. Therefore, Marin felt uneasy for a long time. However, Marin knew very well that the emergence of Calvinism was not just Calvin's merit, but the ultimate manifestation of the Swiss idea of ​​opposing the monarch.

Calvin founded the professional rebellious Calvinism after absorbing the local people's ideas against the Habsburg family's imperial power in Switzerland.

Therefore, even without Calvin, there might be another person who founded a Protestant sect against monarchy in Switzerland. In order to eliminate this problem, Marin found a way to support the Habsburg family in occupying Switzerland to control the fermentation of Swiss anti-monarchy ideas.

Today, Basel, the city where Calvin lived in his early Switzerland, was under the control of the Habsburg family. From then on, there was no room for anti-imperial power ideas here at all. As for Geneva, which lived in the later period of Calvin's ensemble period, the Habsburg family was unable to control it at present. Because Geneva was at the southwesternest end of Switzerland and had already penetrated into the heart of France. Even the local area of ​​Geneva was mainly French, mainly speaking French.

At present, Marin does not intend to offend France, so even though he is able to help the Habsburg family occupy the entire territory of Switzerland, Marin cannot take action. Otherwise, what he may have ushered in is a joint siege between the Alliance of German princes and France.

Therefore, Marin's future plan is to use religious wars to annex the northern German region, and then take out his hands to see the situation in the Swiss region. If western Switzerland converts Protestantism, it will help suppress it under the banner of the Holy See. This kind of occupation of justice is different from helping the Habsburg family. If the Swiss do not engage in religious beliefs or professional rebellious sects such as Calvinism, Marin does not need to help the Habsburg family expand its territory.

To put it bluntly, Marin helped the Habsburg family to occupy Switzerland mainly to use the Habsburg family as executioners to suppress the local Protestant ideas, not to help the Habsburg family grow their strength.

This time, helping Prince Philip outline is actually to gain a large population in the Netherlands.

In this era, the people in the Netherlands had not yet converted to Calvinism, and were still a group that could be won over. Moreover, they were ruled by the Habsburg family for decades and had long been integrated into the Holy Roman Empire system. Marin's Beihai Kingdom has always had good friendship with the Habsburg family, and the people of the Netherlands were also relatively friendly to the Beihai Kingdom. This is just like the later generations of China and Pakistan, and the people of the two countries were also friendly to each other.

In this context, it is not difficult for Marin to recruit the Dutch people. Moreover, it is easy to transform them and educate them into their own submissive people.

You should know that in this era, European people can be grateful to you as long as they can eat and wear well, and they don’t have to pay too much.

In fact, the people of Beihai are now the envy of most people of the Holy Roman Empire who know the information. Because the serfs of Beihai actually eat soft black bread without soil and stones every day, and often eat salted fish. This treatment is simply enviable to others.

You should know that in this era, most serfs in Germany were basically half hungry and half full. Many people could not eat bread, but could only eat some porridge cooked with messy things such as rye, wild vegetables, grass roots, etc. Bread, which is a real food that serfs in wealthy areas could only eat. Moreover, even if they were eaten, they were also the kind of black stick bread that was mixed with a lot of soil and stones, which was hard as bricks, and could not be eaten without soaking in water...

The serfs in Beihai Country are both soft bread and salted fish. Can they not be envied? Of course, this is something that only those who are familiar with it will know, but most serfs will not know it. In particular, those vassal states where the princes who are hostile to Marin often deliberately carry out counter-propaganda, describing the Beihai Country as hell, and even slandering Marin's love for children...

Only the Habsburg family territory, the vassal states where Marin's allies are located, will have positive publicity to the Beihai State, and the people there will know how happy the people of the Beihai State are.

Of course, the people of the neighboring countries of Beihai also know it. After all, they can see the facts and conduct anti-propaganda is useless.

Also, the people of the Swabian region in the south had a little understanding of the situation of the North Sea Kingdom. Because the nobles of the Swabian League were from the Habsburg family and would not discredit the North Sea Kingdom. The people there would also receive more fair news.

However, Marin was not very embarrassed to start these countries that are friendly to the North Sea. Only Marin would start because of the large population in the Swabian region. However, the Habsburg family's territory had never felt that it was too large, so Marin was naturally inconvenient to start.

In the Netherlands, due to the friendly relations between the Habsburg family and the North Sea, the locals obviously knew the good days for the people of the North Sea. If someone was sent to recruit people, someone would definitely respond.

Of course, the premise is that they will definitely be willing to recruit them to the North Sea Country. But if they are recruiting them to the Americas... because of Marin's previous negative propaganda, they may not be willing to.

But Marin didn't care, because he would send someone to cheat...

First, I fooled the people in the country, and then sent them to the American colonies... As long as I sent enough troops to escort them, I would not have to worry about problems...

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The population of the Netherlands is more than one million, and it is fine if there are more than one hundred thousand textile workers in the Flanders area. That cannot be moved, but there are hundreds of thousands of farmers left, so that is easy to deal with.

If you raise sheep, you won’t be able to use that much population. It has been said before that a family farm of 100,000 acres in New Zealand can raise 28,000 sheep and 26,000 cows with a family of seven. A cow eats several times that of sheep, so a 100,000 acres of ranch can support at least 100,000 sheep.

This is still a small amount. According to the limit algorithm of later generations, one acre of forage can raise up to 15 sheep. However, it is professional high-yield forage, and generally fertilizer is applied. At present, the Netherlands obviously does not have such professional forage land. However, the Netherlands is close to the North Sea, mainly the plains, with fertile land and abundant rainfall. Even for ordinary forage grass, it is still okay to raise one or two sheep in acre of land. And if you really want to raise sheep with all your strength, hundreds of millions of sheep can be raised. Of course, this is impossible. After all, the Netherlands cannot raise only sheep.

Even the Great Britain, a major sheep-raising country, currently only has more than 10 million sheep. This is inferred in the reverse direction based on the wool production, because the annual wool production of Britain is about 50,000 packs (364 pounds per pack). A pack of wool often requires 260 sheep a year. Therefore, if we infer in turn, there are about 13 million sheep in the UK...

If one sheep is calculated based on the calculation of raising one sheep per mu of grassland, raising 13 million sheep is only 8,666.6 square kilometers. Even if the efficiency is twice as low, it is only 17,333.2 square kilometers. The Netherlands region where the Habsburg family belongs can definitely be maintained.

Of course, Marin would not kindly tell them this limit data, but would try to exaggerate the places needed to raise sheep, and it would be best to let half of the Netherlands use it to raise sheep. In this way, hundreds of thousands of Netherlands farmers can lose their land and have to accept their solicitation...

Although he had to pay 100,000 British sheep, Marin didn't care. After all, in his eyes, population is the most important thing, people-oriented...
