Daming Town Haiwang

An open space in Rotterdam.

"Duke William committed the crime of treason and rebellion. I now sentence you to death in accordance with the "Spanish Charles V Code". Execute immediately!"

"Deprive you of the title of Duke of the Netherlands, nationalize all territories, confiscate family property, and exile the five clans to West Africa!"

Alfred looked at Duke William in front of him, and coldly announced his punishment.

This set of beheading, exile, ransacking and exile, coupled with the punishment of deprivation of the title of nobility, is undoubtedly a copy of the criminal law of the Ming Empire.

The "Spanish Charles V Code" is also a set of codes formulated under the auspices of Alfred with reference to many laws of the Ming Empire.

Its core idea is to consolidate imperial power and strengthen centralization, so as to establish a strong Spanish empire.

Alfred, Torres, Pelos and other Spanish people of insight who returned from studying in the Ming Empire believed that a powerful empire similar to the Ming Empire would be established on the European side.

Then it is necessary to learn the thinking and philosophy of the East, learn the system of the East, and establish a powerful empire with a high degree of centralization. Only in this way can we concentrate our power to do big things, become stronger quickly, and always maintain unity.

So I also learned from the Ming Empire in many aspects, and I also learned from the Ming Empire in terms of punishing prisoners.

"no no!"

"I am willing to be loyal to Charles V, I am willing to be loyal to Charles V!"

Hearing his punishment, Duke William couldn't help but collapse.

It's fine if he dies, the titles inherited from this era are gone, the territory is gone, and the huge property is gone, and even his family will be exiled to the West African colony.

Colonial West Africa, where is the place for people to stay?
Legend has it that wherever diseases are rampant, mosquitoes as big as they are can directly kill people. After being exiled, it will really be over in the future.

"late!"

Alfred said coldly, and immediately gave the order, and soon there were soldiers escorting Duke William to the guillotine. With a flash of cold light, a so-sized head flew away, and the history of the Duke of the Netherlands was completely Finish.

Starting from Duke William, nobles were sent to the guillotine one by one, their titles were deprived, their territories were confiscated, their property was confiscated, and their families were exiled.

For the first time, European nobles enjoyed the treatment of nobles in the East.

In the past, nobles were nobles. Even if something happened, they made mistakes, they were still nobles, their status was noble, their blood was incomparably noble, and they were existences that the poor could never look up to.

However, now, the Spaniards have used the blood of a large number of nobles to tell everyone that all this has changed.

"Roben, captured the rebellious Duke William in the process of suppressing the rebellion, promoted to three ranks, and rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver!"

"Now, on behalf of Emperor Charles V, I formally confer you a viscount with a fief of [-] mu!"

There are punishments and rewards. After killing a group of nobles in Rotterdam and the Netherlands, Alfred began to reward some people who have contributed this time, especially some locals.

As Alfred called out Robben's name, a soldier stood up tremblingly.

Robben was also very scared, afraid that the Spaniard would cross the river and demolish the bridge, and he was afraid of being despised. After all, he was the one who took the lead in kidnapping Duke William.

But when he heard that he was made a viscount, the fief had five thousand acres, and there was a reward of ten thousand taels of silver, he couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly, a little unbelievable.

You must know that Robben's ancestors were ordinary farmers for generations, and he had never had anything to do with nobles.

But now, he was conferred the title of Viscount. Although this title ranks second to last among the titles of nobility, it is also a title of nobility.

What's more, there are still five thousand acres of land, and you can still be promoted, and there are rewards of ten thousand taels of silver, which are all real benefits. The whole person was smashed dizzy.

"Roben, don't thank the great Charles V yet!"

Looking at the fainting Robben, Alfred also quickly reminded.

"Yes Yes!"

"Thanks to the great Charles V, thanks to the great emperor! I am willing to be loyal to you forever!"

Robben knelt down on the ground, expressed his thanks, and expressed his loyalty.

The eyes of countless spectators around were red at this moment, and they all regretted why they hadn't boldly tied up Duke William at that time, or else they would be the nobles now. Silver, and controls.

This Robben will become a phoenix from a grass chicken in the future. He is no longer an ordinary commoner, but a real nobleman.

"Coman!"

Soon, Alfred called out a name again, and soon a Dutchman stood up.

"Korman, in the process of suppressing the rebellion, you took the lead in opening the city gate to welcome the arrival of the imperial army, and you made a great contribution!"

"Now, on behalf of Emperor Charles V, I can confer you a baron, a fief of [-] acres, and a reward of [-] taels of silver!"

Following Alfred's words, the soldier named Coman couldn't help but tremble, he became a nobleman, he became a nobleman.

From now on, my family is an aristocratic family, no longer an ordinary commoner family, and I have a lot of fiefs all of a sudden, and I still have money, and I am still an aristocrat.

Thinking of this, he was very excited, and then he knelt down like Robben.

"Thanks to the great Charles V, I will swear allegiance to you!"

Looking at the excited Coman, many people who knew Coman had red eyes and green guts. Why didn't he surrender earlier and open the city gate earlier.

As a result, such a good thing fell on Coman's head. He became a phoenix, and became a nobleman all of a sudden. Even though he was a baron, he was also a nobleman.

Aristocrats are nobles, and have a natural class distinction from ordinary civilians. Nobles never even intermarry with commoners, and nobles only intermarry and marry with nobles.

Nobility means noble blood, noble status, and a wealthy life.

"Why didn't I surrender earlier, why didn't I open the city gate earlier!"

Some people are secretly annoyed, and their intestines are full of regret.

"This Robben and Coman, it's terrible now, and they will be nobles in the future."

"Several thousand acres of land, and a large amount of money reward, why didn't I seize the opportunity at that time."

Everyone watching the play couldn't help being envious and jealous.

As for the body of Duke William who was still bleeding next to him, no one cared anymore at this moment, because everyone was thinking about becoming people like Coleman and Robben at this moment.

As for the dead nobles, who cares!

The public trial commendation conference was held very smoothly, and the Spanish army quickly established a foothold here in Rotterdam, and then centered on Rotterdam, they quickly swept in all directions.

Because of the experience and methods here in Rotterdam, the Spanish army is almost invincible wherever it goes, and it is invincible.

In cities in many places, as soon as the army arrived, the soldiers guarding the city had already forced the local nobles to come out and surrender.

Everyone is vying to be loyal to Charles V, and everyone is vying to make contributions. Everyone wants to be this nobleman, everyone likes money, and everyone wants the fiefdom.

This kind of thinking and tactics from the far east is also the first time that Europeans know one thing, that is, princes and generals have kindness.

As long as you have the courage to do it, you can also have the opportunity to become a nobleman, and have the opportunity to turn yourself into a good person.

All of a sudden, hundreds of thousands of Spanish troops quickly swept across the entire lowland area. Wherever they passed, it was like wind blowing clouds and autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves.

In less than a month, the entire lowland area was quickly pacified, a large number of nobles were sent to the guillotine by the Spaniards, and a large number of territories and properties were taken over by the Spanish king, which also made the Spanish king ruthless. Ruthlessly made a fortune.

At the same time, a large number of ordinary people and ordinary soldiers who made contributions to the suppression of the rebellion also received a large number of rewards and titles of nobility.

Among them are a large number of locals in the lowlands. From their original opposition to the rule of the Spanish Empire, they suddenly became people who firmly supported the rule of the Spanish Empire.

He was quickly appointed as officials at all levels by Alfred's side, and sent to various places in the lowlands to preside over the operation of the government in various places, and quickly restored the rule of the Spanish Empire over these places.

At the same time, it also began to reform the lowland areas. The consumption Ming Empire established a provincial system, and the three-level division of provinces, states and counties put these places firmly in the hands of the Spanish Empire.

But what the Spaniards did in the lowlands further stimulated these ancient nobles in Europe, especially the nobles of the Holy Roman Empire.

At this moment, each of them felt like they were sitting on pins and needles, and they had a clear premonition that if the Spaniards were allowed to kill them, they would be like the nobles of the Netherlands.

Being sent to the guillotine, deprived of their noble titles, their territories abolished, their family members exiled, and their property confiscated, this is absolutely unacceptable to them.

What the Spaniards did in the Netherlands seriously violated the aristocratic system and traditions that Europe has always followed.

All of a sudden, the nobles of the Holy Roman Empire began to gather a large number of troops with the same hatred, and rushed towards the lowland area aggressively.

They want to expel the barbaric rule of the Spaniards, restore the ancient aristocratic system, and maintain the honor and dignity of the nobility.

At the same time, France, England, and the Holy See are also linked together to launch an attack on Spain.
