Chapter 1505: Philip's purpose
"Ah? That's what it is? What is the reason?" The expression on Prince Philip's face was exaggerated.
Seeing the acting of the small fresh meat on the young master's face, Marin was speechless. But he still pretended to be patient and explained:
"That's it. When the emperor was young, he expressed his desire to learn France and unify Germany ... This idea can scare the German princes, so after the emperor's ascendance, he was met by the princes. All kinds of difficulties. Whenever Austria becomes stronger under His Majesty's leadership, it will be suppressed by the princes. Because they are afraid that His Majesty really unified Germany, causing them to lose their rights ... "
Speaking of which, Marlin paused, and Young Master Philip continued the acting of Little Fresh Meat, staring at his eyes, revealing an incredible look ...
But who is Marin? At first, it was too much mixed with Douban. Although not a serious film critic, the basic acting skills can still be seen. With Master Philip ’s acting skills like small fresh meat, it ’s hard to escape his eyes ...
The scene where the young master stared and expressed shock just now made Marin unconsciously think of Yang Tianbao, the wife of the previous leader ...
Of course, although the main acting skills are less exaggerated, Marin has to continue to explain, pretending not to find the other party's poor acting ...
"I started by helping my emperor fight for war. Ordinarily, a strong mercenary leader like me should be very popular with those princes. However, the princes thought that if I wholeheartedly help the emperor to fight the war of unified will. , They are about to usher in the end. So, they were afraid, and began to suppress me in every possible way, to stop my strength. The stronger I am, the less assured they are ... "
"Don't you have tens of thousands of troops? There are many more than our Habsburg family, what are you afraid of?" Prince Philip asked curiously. This time he looks normal, not like acting. Obviously, he was really curious about this.
Marin explained:
"His Royal Highness, although I have six legions, the Fourth Legion and the Fifth Legion, according to the agreement reached with His Majesty Edward that year, need to be stationed on the British Isles and cannot be transferred back to the country. Therefore, I can really mobilize Soldiers and horses, there are only 4 legions ... or rather, there are only three legions ... "
"Three legions? Isn't it right, not the first, second, third and sixth legions?" Prince Philip continued to act as a curious baby.
"Does His Highness know the composition of the Sixth Army? It was this time I sent to help attack the new army in Ireland."
"Yes, mainly Scottish captives ... you mean ..." Prince Philip was obviously not a fool, and seemed to think of something. Of course, what he thought was wrong, Marin deliberately guided him to think so ...
For the expected reaction of the young master, Marin nodded:
"Yes, this Sixth Army Corps, which is dominated by Scottish descendants, was actually my lord Edward. You think about it, when His Majesty Edward wiped out the Kingdom of Scotland, these Scottish descendants continue to stay on the mainland of Scotland. It is an unstable factor and it is easy to betrayed. Therefore, His Majesty Edward asked me to bring back the 7,000 Scotsmen to the North Sea State to form a new army. In fact, I am really monitoring those Scotsmen who are afraid that they will cause trouble ... … "
Prince Philip suddenly looked at him suddenly, and then asked:
"Then why did you send it to the Irish battlefield this time? His Majesty Edward is not afraid of those Scots betrayal before the formation?"
Marin shook his head:
"I'm not afraid, this time His Majesty Edward brought another 15,000 troops. And there are 3,000 Germans in the Sixth Army! And the significance of sending the Scots to attack the indigenous people of Ireland is to make the Scots and the Irish hate ... … "
"Let the Scots and the Irish make an enmity? Why?" Prince Philip was really curious.
Marin explained:
"England has just conquered Scotland, and Ireland has just conquered. It is certain that the Scottish and Irish people will resist the rule of England in recent years. His Majesty Edward is afraid that the Scots and the Irish will join forces against the rule of England. I intend to use the 7,000 Scots to properly clean up the Irish resistance and create some blood debt. In this way, with the existence of these blood feuds, it will be difficult for the Scots to cooperate with the Irish against England in the future ... "
"It turned out to be ... really brilliant ..." Prince Philip exclaimed.
Marin's words were true, but it was not Edward that came up with the solution, but Marin himself. After all, England, Scotland and Ireland will all be ruled by Marin and his sons. Helping Edward to divorce the Scots and Irish at this time is actually helping himself.
Before this troop dispatch, Marin secretly asked the head of the Sixth Army, Heinkes-this conquest of Ireland can have a low discipline requirement for the army. It is necessary to make the Irish indigenous hostile to the Scots ...
In order to make the Irish people more impressed with the Scotsman, Malint let the Scottish mercenaries wear a Scottish style skirt this time, just like the kind that Shenyang wore in "Not Bad Money". This men's short skirt is a symbol of the Scots. The Scottish Highland infantry wears a Scottish skirt and burns and loots on the island of Ireland. Irish people will definitely hate these Scots in skirts. In the future, the relationship between the two races will be tense. And as the ruler of England, you can take advantage of the disagreement between the two and mediate from them to avoid the two opposing England together ...
...
After a talk, the problem is back to the original point ...
Marin continued to explain:
"That is to say, the soldiers and horses I can use now are actually only three local legions. If German princes join forces to attack me, I can't stop it ..."
"German princes join forces to attack you? Don't you ..." Prince Philip said with some uncertainty.
Malin sneered and said:
"Oh, why not? They are not uniting to attack me now because I am honest. If I dare to send troops to help His Majesty, they may join forces to attack me immediately. Because, once I send troops to help His Majesty, Maybe it will help His Majesty complete the great cause of reunification of Germany. And these princes are definitely not willing to see this. Therefore, as long as I dare to send troops to help His Majesty, these people will dare to unite and fight me, making me dare not act lightly ... " Marin said "seven points true and three points false."
After a pause, Marin continued:
"And, you may not know, Your Highness. If it is the threat of German princes alone, I may still have the confidence to fight back. But if France is added ..."
"France?" Prince Philip stood up in surprise.
"Yes, France! Your Highness should not forget how I was in power. I defeated the last King of King Charles VIII before I came out. So, the French have always looked at me unhappy. If the German princes united, Organize a large army to attack me, the French will probably also organize a large army to help me. Moreover, if the French and Habsburgs are dead enemies, if I send troops to help His Majesty the Emperor, the French will send the army and the German princes to unite and destroy me. Very likely ... "
Prince Philip suddenly fell silent, and he also understood that Marin was talking about facts ...
"Also, Your Highness, do you know why I should send troops to help His Majesty Edward and make an Earl in England?" Marin suddenly asked.
"This ... in order to expand the Huffman family's territory?" Prince Philip replied.
Marin shook his head and said:
"No, I'm leaving the Huffman family behind ..."
After finishing, Marin pointed to the European map on the wall of the parlor:
"Your Highness, please see that the North Sea country is located on the European continent. In the face of the joint attack of the German princes and France, it will definitely not be able to stop it. Therefore, in order to avoid the destruction of the Huffman family, I specially made an earl territory in England. If so One day, the North Sea country was really destroyed by the German princes and France, and we will flee to England to continue to be the lord. If there is no such back hand, once the North Sea country is destroyed, the Huffman family will be from The nobility was removed ... "
...
Speaking of this, Prince Philip can no longer accuse Marin of not sending troops to assist the emperor. Especially after Marin pointed out that "the Hoffman family is ready to escape to England at any time", he can no longer ask Marin to send troops.
Moreover, this time when he came to Aurich, he didn't really ask Marin to send troops to help, but just came to put pressure on Marin to help the Habsburgs more or less.
Moreover, ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Marin sent tens of thousands to help the second loyal monarch (King Edward), but did not send troops to help the first loyal monarch (His Majesty the Emperor). What Wuzi did.
It was precisely because of this that Prince Philip pretended to be very angry and ran to Aurich to blame Marin, in fact, he put pressure on Marin to squeeze out points from Marin. The benefits come to help the Habsburgs fight in Switzerland.
But Prince Philip's acting is average. Although it has been very good among the young people of the same generation, in Marin's eyes, it is only the acting skills of the younger generations.
And after Marin moved out the statement that the Huffman family had given up the North Sea country and fled to England at any time, Prince Philip could no longer find an excuse to pressure Marin.
So, Prince Philip had to change his tone and said in a pleading tone:
"Duke Marin, please help my father! The Beihai Kingdom and the Habsburg family are allies. The stronger the ally, the greater the help you can get. So, please ask Duke Marin to see my father emperor In the face of it, help us the Habsburg family ... "
