His principal object was to settle in a country which had not yet been exhausted by war, but he also desired to provide sinews for a new campaign. The town of Elbing felt his heavy hand. The citizens had refused to supply a hundred waggons requisitioned by Stenbock for the convey- ance of siege material to Thorn. They had also delayed to reply to a request to allow a passage through their town for Charles's troops, and to build 104 CHARLES XII a bridge across their river. Stenbock then demand- ...ed free quarters for several regiments, which was haughtily refused. When Charles heard of this, he dispatched some troops to the refractory town, and took possession of the sluices by which its country could be flooded. The town council was so fright- ened that they made an immediate submission, but they had to pay a fine of two hundred and sixty thousand thalera, besides delivering up one hundred and eighty cannon, and one hundred and sixty hundred-weight of gunpowder. He left behind three regiments to garrison the town.
