He pursued the same profitable tactics in the Secularizations, when France and the greater German Powers gained enormously at the final cost of the Church lands and the little States; and now he ground up the German domains that were to cement his new Rhenish system. There were still numbers of Imperial Counts and Knights, as well as free cities, that had not been absorbed in 1803.
