Chapter 142: compromise
"Thank you, Lord Earl, for your attention. My godfather has nourishment for me. The godfather is here, so I will not go anywhere and protect his old man ..." Cage reluctantly rejected Marin's solicitation. A little hesitation ...
However, because of this, Marin paid more attention to him. A subordinate who is both capable and loyal is his favorite. Otherwise, if Cage agreed to be too simple, Marin had to guard him even if he accepted him, to prevent him from becoming a "home servant of the third surname" like Lu Bu.
Next, Marin began to have nothing to talk about, draw close relations with Cage and try to fight. By noon, Woolf Esbrand was finally busy with Hyde City's defense and related government affairs, and came to the backyard of the city's main palace to visit Marin. At the same time, I also hope to reach an agreement with Marin to allow Marin to retire.
"Want East Frisian to retreat? Mr. Esbrand, do you think it's too simple? Even if we retire, there will be others coveting here. After all, the Dietmarschen area is so large that it is better than many other countries. To be big, it ’s more than our East Frisian family to covet here. ”Marin refused without hesitation about Woolf Esbrand ’s request.
"But, Earl Marin, your life and death, but under our control ..." Woolf Esbrand began to threaten Marin.
"No, no, Mr. Esbrand, my life and death are indeed under your control. But also, the life and death of all the residents of Hyde City, and even of the entire Dietmarschen area, are also under my control. "Marin did not take the threat of Woolf Esbrand, but instead threatened to go back."
"What do you mean?"
"If I am hurt, then, Hyde City, let alone people, it is estimated that even a chicken can't survive."
"Do you want to slaughter the city?" Woolf Esbrand began to be angry. Dieter Marshen is his home, and everyone here is also his father and fellow folks. How could he be willing to hurt his fellow folks?
"It's not that I want to slay the city, but if I get hurt, my men will definitely slay the city. Even more than 20,000 people in the entire Dietmarschen area will be killed." Marin said lightly. Moreover, what he said is also true. If something goes wrong, with Schwartz and Kahn's character, it will really make all the residents of the Dietmarschen area burial.
"That's more than 20,000 people, alive!" Woolf Esbrand stood up angrily.
"What about that? Although I don't want to be like that. But in my eyes, there are no difference between more than 20,000 people and 20,000 sheep. In their eyes, there are more than 20,000 Dietmarshens. Life is not worth my life. This is the truth. "
Woolf. Esbrand was a little angry, but he didn't take Malin. Because, he is not a fool, knowing Marin is not an exaggeration. The entire Dietmarchen area has a population of more than 20,000. The army of Marin has 15,000 people. With an average of more than 20,000 people, Marin ’s men only need to kill more than one person to kill the Dietmarshen area, and it is not very laborious. He had originally caught Marin, just to threaten Marin to order his withdrawal. Unexpectedly, Marin was a hob meat, and his skin was very thick, and he did not dare to really treat him, but in turn threatened him.
Although, since the abduction of Marin, East Frisian's 15,000 troops dared not take any action to siege. However, the siege of Hyde City did not stop.
Because of the sudden accident, there is not much food reserves in Hyde City. If they are besieged for a long time, people in Hyde City will starve to death if they are not killed.
"How on earth are you willing to retreat? Isn't it good for us to be safe? Why should we invade here?" Woolf Esbrand snarled at Marin.
"Mr. Esbrand, please calm down. Think about it, the Ditmarschen area is so large and surpasses many Bernese nations. Moreover, his geographical location is so important that it is the gateway to Hamburg, and it is easily accessible by land and water. Suitable for business. Dare you say no one else covets this kind of land? "
"So what? The King of Denmark, Hans, with more than 10,000 troops, was not destroyed by me!" Woolf Esbrand said proudly.
"Apart from flooding, do you have any other way to deal with an army that far exceeds the number of your army? You see, I sent a cavalry to block the road to the eastern river reservoir, and you were helpless."
"We still have allies ... Lübeck people will help us ..." Woolf Esbrand said with a lack of energy.
"Wake up, Mr. Esbrand. Lübeck helped Dietmarshen because Lübeck wanted to use you against Denmark. But now Denmark has been defeated by our coalition forces. Even, even Schiller from the north of you The principality of Suyig also belongs to me. That is to say, you have lost the value of utilization. So, do you think Lübeck is still willing to help you? Without Lübeck's help, who can you fight against? By the thousand Militia? "Marin asked aggressively.
Woolf. Esbrand is a little down, he is very clear, Marin said very reasonable. Because, at the time Lübeck supported Dieter Marshen, it was indeed to trouble Lübeck's enemy, Denmark. Today, Lübeck has organized coalition forces to defeat Denmark, and also ceded two principalities. Well, Dietmarschen has indeed lost the value of using Lübeck.
Dietmarshen is an agricultural republic, whose economy depends mainly on farming and fishing and is considered a poor country. Without the support of the rich man, Lubeck, as long as someone came to siege Dietmarshin, for a long time, the poor Ditmarshen would collapse first without the need for others to actually do it. Because it takes a lot of money and food to fight. By the way, the agricultural country Dete Marsin, the most lacking is money and food. Previously, because of the support of Lübeck's wealthy man, Dieter Marshen had enough strength and Denmark was just positive. If Lübeck ’s support is lost, Dietmar Marshall really is nothing ...
"I won't compromise with you, Count Marin! That's right, I dare not kill you. But I can imprison you for a long time. As long as you are still there, your army will not dare to attack. Similarly, this 1.5 Wan Dajun, the daily consumption is also amazing. If you drag on, Dietmarschen is certainly not good, but do n’t think about it better in East Friesland! "In desperation, Woolf Esbrand actually thought A trick "Dragging Words" came out, intending to spend it with Marin ...
Marin immediately stunned. Indeed, as long as he was in Hyde City, his army would drop the mouse. However, they dare not leave easily.
The army is stationed outside Hyde City, and the daily consumption of money and food is also amazing, including those thousands of horses. If it is consumed like this, it is really not a good thing for yourself ...
Not to mention, Marin himself is also a family of Qiu. Not to mention the Danish kingdom who had just been beaten by themselves and could not take care of themselves, the Saxons and Brandenburgs were also their potential enemies.
Although it said that because of diplomatic matters, both the electorate of Saxony and the electorate of Brandenburg had withdrawn their reinforcements, they did not tune in and shake themselves.
However, if they knew that they had been captured by the Dietmarshmen, maybe these two cunning monarchs would gather again and come to attack their army.
Be aware that because of his absence, the East Frisian army is now somewhat panic-stricken. It ’s okay to deal with the Dietmarshen who has only a thousand people. But if the two Electors mobilized 20,000 troops to come, and with the morale of their soldiers, it is easy to be unlucky ...
Therefore, Marin is very clear that he can't afford more than Dietmar Marshall ...
Thinking of this, Marin intends to make concessions:
"Mr. Esbrand, in fact, my attack on Dietmarschen came not only for the territory, but for you ..." Marin came straight to the point and said his true thoughts.
"Come for me? Why is this?" Woolf Esbrand is puzzled. He is an old man in his forties, what is worth thinking about Marin?
"Because of your talents, Mr. Esbrand, your previous method of flooding defeated the Danish army. It was an opportunity for Swedish independence and an important basis for our Quartet Alliance to send troops. I appreciate your talents, so , I would like to invite you to work under my command. "
"Just because of my ability to defeat the Danes, you are going to attack Dieter Marshall?" Woolf Esbrand is a little dumb-what logic is this?
"The vast territorial area of the Det Marshen area is also one of my coveted goals. As long as you are willing to work for me, I can accept some of your conditions." Marin doesn't consume it like that. Thinking of the Electors of Saxony and Electors of Brandenburg hidden in the dark, he just wanted to get out quickly. Therefore, a gesture of concession was made directly.
"So, if I play for you, would you let your army spare Dietmarschen?" Woolf Esbrand asked.
"This is not possible. You have all gone with me. Who can hold Dietmarshin? Even if our army is withdrawn, there will be someone else to occupy Dietmarshin. I heard that Saxony in the south- John V, Duke of Fort Launce, has long coveted the vast territory of the Dietmarschen area. Only because he was afraid of the Kingdom of Denmark, he dared not start. If I withdrew, you also left. I dare to guarantee, Saxony- John V, Duke of Fort Launce, will definitely seize the opportunity to gather troops and come to occupy Dietmarschen. "
Marin's words are not scaring Woolf Esbrand. Rather, John V, Duke of Saxony-Lauenburg, did express covetment of the Dietmarschen area. The Principality of Saxony-Lauenburg is just south of the Principality of Holstein, next to the city of Hamburg. In other words, there is only one burger between the Principality of Saxony-Lauenburg and the Dietmarschen area (including the western part of the Principality of Holstein, which is newly controlled by Hamburg). However, the army of the Principality of Saxony-Lauenburg can be transported by boat, and it is very convenient from the Elbe River, through the Hamburg area, to the Dietmarschen area.
Wolf Esbrand also heard of the rumor that John V coveted Dietmarschen. You should know that although the Principality of Saxony-Lauenburg is a Principality, its area is about the same size as the Dietmarschen area.
Therefore, for such a large "land of no ownership" in the Dietmarschen area, it is also normal for this place to be coveted by John V, Duke of Saxony-Lauenburg. However, the very powerful Kingdom of Denmark announced that the Dietmarchen region was a Danish territory. Although John V wanted to acquire this land, he did not dare to challenge the powerful Denmark and had to leave.
But now, Denmark has been laid down by the League of Four. As Marin said, if Marin also gave up coveting the Dietmarschen area, John V would surely rush with the army.
After thinking about it, Woolf Esbrand found out that-surrendering to Marin is a good choice ...
"Well, if you big greedy nobles like vampires, if Dieter Marshall falls into your hands, the people will not be bullied by you?" Woolf Esbrand said angrily.
"Well, if you are willing to submit to me, um ... that Cage will also submit to me ... Then, I am willing to keep the current taxation mechanism of Dietmarschen unchanged, no = never increase the people of Dietmarschen Burden! "In order to win the wisdom of Woolf Esbrand and the mighty Cage, Marin also got rid of it and directly offered very favorable conditions.
"This ..." Woolf Esbrand quickly became tempted. Marin gave such a commitment, which is equivalent to as long as the name, not the benefit. It can be said that this is definitely a condition of conscience.
"Then this public area ..."
"Of course it is mine, Mr. Esbrand, if the commons do not belong to me, then, what do I want to do in the Dietmarschen area? When to display?"
The Dietmarshen area is 1,400 square kilometers, but there are only more than 20,000 people. Moreover, many people are concentrated in coastal areas and belong to fishermen.
Right now, there are many public wastelands in the Dietmarschen area. Because of insufficient population, it has not yet been developed. Marin gave up the tax on those original land ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ is already a great concession.
The reason why he is willing to give up those existing cultivated land is to organize immigrants to reclaim those public wasteland in the future. As long as enough cultivated land is reclaimed, Marin can also obtain sufficient benefits.
However, even if the public wasteland is not in hand. Well, even if he won Dietmar Marshall, it has no practical meaning.
After consultations, Woolf Esbrand decided to compromise and put Dietmar Marshall under the circumstances of Marin ’s written pledge not to increase the taxation of the existing people (not counting immigrants in the future) in the Dietmarshchen region The area hangs under the name of Marin.
However, Dietmarshin will continue to retain its own parliament. Marin said that he would send his appointed officials to negotiate with the local parliament to solve various local problems, and take the opinions of the local parliament as the mainstay. This allows the Dietmarshen to remain semi-autonomous. Moreover, Marin promised that the current local taxes will be retained by the local parliament for their own use, and Marin will never draw taxes from the current taxes.
In exchange, Woolf Esbrand and Cage joined Marin's team and played for Marin. At the same time, the unowned public wasteland of Dit Marshen's blockbuster is also under the name of Marin, and Marin is responsible for the development and utilization of the organizer ...
In this way, after being a prisoner for a few days, Marin made compromises and concessions, in exchange for the “rule of name”, in exchange for the nominal **** of the Dietmarschen area and his freedom.
Of course, Marin is actually not losing money. This is because the area of up to 1400 square kilometers in the Dietmarschen area has about 800 square kilometers of land that has not yet been developed and used, and they are all plains and some swamps. Malin Bai has acquired so many sites, as long as it is developed, the benefits are greatly ...
