Chapter 1222: The thoughts of the princes
, The fastest update of the latest chapter of the Emperor's Rise!
It was not only the pleasure of Frederick III, the elector of Saxony, who was relegated to Earl of Golden, but only Charles II, the former Duke of Geddes, who had been relegated to Earl of Geddes, was even more happy to learn that Marin ’s "death news" was happy. .
After all, Frederick III was only cut off a small part of the land, and the Principality of Geddes not only cut off most of the land, but also was demoted to the knighthood, naturally hating Marin. Therefore, after learning of Marin's "death news", Charles II, the former Duke of Geddes, ordered a feast to celebrate the country. Of course, I did n’t just say that the celebration of Marin ’s hang-up would be taught.
Elector Joachim I of Brandenburg is also very happy. After all, he was very painful when he ceded the Stendal area.
As for the Danish King Hans, that mood is a bit contradictory ...
After being beaten by Marin ’s army, he abandoned the Jutland Peninsula, the Principality of Holstein, and the Principality of Schleswig, and naturally he could not have died.
However, Denmark is currently in a difficult situation and is still facing Sweden. At present, Denmark, which is in financial difficulties, also expects Marin to acquire wood produced in southern Norway and southern Sweden.
Therefore, King Hans ’s idea was that Marin would die, but the North Sea country stopped buying Danish timber ...
...
All in all, the princes and kings who were defeated by Marin celebrated Marin's "death".
...
On the contrary, Marin's allies are more uncomfortable. Maximilian I was relatively uncomfortable because, after losing such a strong ally as Marin, he also had some one-sided hardships, and some could not do so with the alliance of princes and France.
Originally, the Habsburg family faced the alliance of princes in Germany and the powerful France alone. Later, with the rise of Marin, the alliance of princes did not dare to face up with the Habsburg family at will. Because, the powerful Marin is staring at the side. With Marin's control of the alliance of princes, the Habsburgs had the confidence to interact with the French in Switzerland.
Now that Marin is "dead", the alliance of princes has lost control, will they unite France to force the Habsburgs to withdraw from Switzerland ...
Maximilian I really wanted to be right. As the leader and most important "brain" of the princely alliance, Frederick III, the elector of Saxony, was really thinking about threatening the Habsburgs to abandon Switzerland.
Why? Because Switzerland is so important. Of course, what is important in Switzerland is not its broken land. To be honest, most of the broken places in Switzerland are mountains, and deep in the interior of Europe, the standard poor mountains and bad waters. If future generations were not to create a watch industry and financial industry, Switzerland really has no surprises. At least, in this age of agriculture, Switzerland is the standard poor mountain ditch.
However, the Swiss mountain people are tough. Although it only has a population of 740,000, there may be tens of thousands of mercenaries who may come out to fight.
Once the Habsburg family completes the occupation and digestion of Switzerland, it is equivalent to sending tens of thousands of soldiers to the Habsburg family. By then, the Habsburg family would have no problem singled out all German princes. Even if the alliance of German princes and France are united, I am afraid there is only a defense. After all, the toughness of Swiss mercenaries is not a joke.
Therefore, the German princes never wanted to see the Habsburgs successfully annex Switzerland. However, in the past, the North Sea countries were restrained, and the princes did not have the confidence to unite the French to the Habsburg family.
Now, Marin's sudden accident made Frederick III realize that this was a very good opportunity to deal with the Habsburg family.
As for the North Sea State, Frederick III believes that after losing the "sinister and subtle" "evil commander" Marin, the tens of thousands of troops in the North Sea State will inevitably lose their hearts and fight unintentionally.
At that time, just wait for the Beihai country to fall and collapse. Then, after finishing the Habsburg family, it's time to deal with Beihai ...
...
Marin didn't expect that his painful and fake death caused the alliance of princes to have the idea of packing up the emperor ... anyway, Maximilian I was unlucky ...
However, it is not that no one pays attention to Beihai. For example, a Duke of a powerful Principality close to the North Sea country summoned a knight in the Chamber of Secrets:
"Speak, Menzell, did your younger brother get the secrets of high-yield agriculture in Beihai?"
The knight half kneeling on the ground shook his head and said:
"Master Duke, not yet. His brother is not reused in the Beihai National Army. I don't know much about it. I only know that the secret of Beihai's high agricultural production is fertilizer. And all fertilizers come from a place called a fertilizer processing plant. Even, every year during spring fertilization and fertilization, it is also the serfs sent by the fertilizer processing farm who are responsible for fertilizing the land allocated to my brother, so that the serfs in my brother ’s manor will not be contacted ... "
"Then your brother didn't detect anything?" The Duke's face looked ugly.
"It's not the case. The brothers under him have found that there are three kinds of fertilizers. But what is the specifics? It needs to be mixed into the fertilizer processing plant to figure out."
"Before, the fertilizer processing plant was heavily guarded, and my brother did not find a chance. However, the news of the death of the Grand Duke Marin of the Beihai Kingdom has recently been reported. The subordinates estimate that the Beihai Kingdom will definitely be in trouble for a while. After all, Malin's son Caesar is still very young. Taking advantage of this chaos, my brother should have a chance to get useful news from the fertilizer processing plant. "
"Huh, what if I can't get it?" The Duke's face was gloomy.
"It is not possible. During this period of civil disturbance in the North Sea, the Duke can send a team of elite cavalry to raid one of the fertilizer processing fields to seize the secret of the fertilizer."
The Duke hesitated and said:
"It's better not to have it. The soldiers and horses of the North Sea country are still there, and there are 30,000 or 40,000 troops in the local area. We can only summon more than 10,000 people, not opponents."
"Adult, you can contact several princes to jointly put pressure on Beihai ..."
"Fool! If you unite with other princes, this secret will also be shared with them. At that time, others will also learn about this agricultural secret, and food prices will plummet. Only we can swallow alone to get the maximum benefit!" The Duke roared angrily.
"Yes, it's the villain who didn't think about it!"
"Listen, if this task is completed, both you and your brother will be able to obtain hereditary barons and have correspondingly large fiefs! If I join other princes to rob, your credit will be lost!"
"Yes, the villain understands!" Said the half-kneeling knight quickly.
The duke didn't know that if he united with other princes to fight together, there might be a chance ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ want to swallow himself, but caused himself a big disaster ...
...
In addition to this powerful duke, Charlie, the Earl of Golden, is also robbing the secret. As a man who had formed an alliance with Marin, Earl of Charlie Golden knew that the North Sea Kingdom could afford tens of thousands of troops, and there must be a special way of making money.
So, after defeating and surrendering, Charlie reflected deeply and decided to learn Marin to make a comeback. In his view, it is certainly a secret that Marin could grow up under the leadership of the Baron of Texel to become the lord of the large Principality of the North Sea.
First of all, military strength is certain. To this end, Charlie, now Earl of Golden, has begun to imitate the North Sea military system, reorganize the army, and began to recruit mercenaries.
However, if you want to feed tens of thousands of troops, you cannot afford to lose the financial level of the Golden State in the Lower Geddes region.
Therefore, Count Charles is currently trying every means to explore the secrets of Marin's fortune. He had heard about the high agricultural yields in the North Sea country, and he began to win over some lower-ranking officers from the North Sea country. But like a Duke, Count Charles wanted to swallow secrets alone, laying the bane for their subsequent liquidation ...
