Chapter 245: Turned out to be the Chou family
However, Marin did not feel happy for too long. After occupying the city of Osnabrück, Marin left a thousand soldiers stationed, and with 10,000 troops and 10,000 people, continued to march southwest of Münster.
It was fine just after leaving Osnabrück, but after leaving Bishop Osnabrück for transit and entering the southern region of Bishop Munster, Marin felt that the problem was coming ...
It turned out that in the territory of the Bishop of Münster, the roads and bridges leading to the city of Münster were artificially destroyed ...
Obviously, Bishop Conrad of Münster did not welcome the arrival of Marin.
However, for Marin, although it is troublesome, it is not a big deal. Because, under his command of 10,000 people, there is an engineering force of 2,000 people ...
What is the engineering unit doing? It was built specifically for fortifications and camps, and for paving roads. They have mature solutions to bridge destruction and road excavation.
With a big wave of Malin's hand, these engineering troops immediately removed tools such as shovel from the carriage and began to repair the road. Some went directly to logging and repaired bridges.
In order to hurry, the bridges built by the engineering troops are simple. For example, if the river channel is very narrow, the logs are directly placed on both sides of the river and covered with wooden boards. If the river is too wide, tie the felled logs into a raft, and then connect them together to make a pontoon for the army to pass through.
In this way, despite the destruction of the road, after 4 days, Marin brought the army to Münster and surrounded it.
Just after Marin surrounded the city of Münster, Bishop Conrad of Münster sent a letter. In the letter, Bishop Conrad grieved and asked Marin-"Why have you always been with my Ritterberg family?"
"Can't get along with the Ritterberg family? What do you mean?" Marin was confused. It was me who robbed you of your dominance, how could it be that you can't live with your family again? Moreover, Ritterberg is only a small uncle, probably only a few hundred square kilometers in size, and it is not worth paying attention to by yourself ...
However, Schwartz on the side remembered something:
"Master, you seem to have forgotten the old things a few years ago ..."
"You mean?" Marin wondered.
"Elizabeth, wife of the former East Frisian arrogant Edsad I, is the daughter of John I, Earl of Ritterberg!"
"Ah ... I remembered! But, that Elizabeth, I didn't send it back?" At that time, Marin killed blood in the East Friesland. However, consider the unspoken rules that cannot kill nobles in other countries. Moreover, Elizabeth of Ritterberg was not fertile at the time, and Marin put her back.
"Yeah, you sent her back, but you sent her back after she killed her husband ..." Schwartz was a little speechless-you killed her husband, could you not get enemies?
In fact, Bishop Conrad was the uncle of Princess Elizabeth. However, when Marin captured East Friesland, not long after Bishop Conrad became the bishop of the Bishop of Münster, he had no control over the situation and was unable to organize an army to fight Marin. Moreover, his niece was not killed, and then he endured it. Besides, his niece Elizabeth did not leave offspring with Edsad I, and Edsad I was also killed. Even if he sent troops to recapture East Friesland, it would not help. Because widows without children cannot inherit the throne. After going back, Princess Elizabeth suffered from depression and no longer wanted to remarry, but entered the convent and became a nun.
At the beginning, because of this, Bishop Conrad was extremely disappointed with Marin and wanted to teach Marin. However, after the defeat of the 20,000-thousand army of the last Duke of Albrecht, the Archbishop of Saxony, Bishop Conrad abandoned plans to retaliate against Marin. After all, Bishop Conrad doesn't think his strength is better than Pizzaxen.
However, Bishop Conrad did not expect that after a few years, Malin, who had bullied his niece, passed through the relationship of the Holy See and bullied him ... this is simply to specialize with Ritterberg The family is right ...
Marin was also embarrassed to learn the truth. He was n’t specifically aimed at the Ritterberg family, but the other party was too coincidental. He was specifically a stumbling block on his way forward, and Marin was also handy, so he “moved away” them. ...
It's just that the people of the Ritterberg family are really awkward. Is Mao always standing in front of Marin, who is a traverser and the main character, waiting to be removed?
East Frisian Lambert is indeed a family from Marin ’s mother. Although it has been faked in the marriage of Guishu, the blood is inherited, but it is true ...
Then there is the Bishop of Münster. Who told you that it is on the south side of East Frisian Lambert, and it is so large? Marin wants to expand, of course, must choose the neighboring country. In this way, the territories are also conveniently connected together, the management is convenient, and the resources are easy to deploy uniformly.
It would be inconvenient to expand and choose the kind of territorially dispersed place, even if those sites were acquired. If nothing else, to issue a decree, we must first pass through the territory of another country. Even the transportation of food and other materials must pass through the territory of other countries.
Moreover, in this era, nobles in various countries have the bad habit of setting up cards and collecting taxes. If those territories are separated from the mainland by several countries, a truckload of grains may be transported back to the mainland, and several tolls may be charged.
So ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Marinen can choose to collide with a powerful country like Denmark, and also take the opportunity to win the Oldenburg country, in order to expand his own territory and at the same time to facilitate management. Otherwise, if Marin had a territory inland in southern Germany, there would be no way to manage it well ...
In the same way, Marin had taken the huge risk of offending the former Pope Alexander VI, but also insisted on marrying Angela as a wife, that is, plotting to obtain the support of Julius II, who was still down, to obtain the support of the Holy See. Expansion of the bishopric of Münster. Even, in order to get the favor and help of Julius II, the father-in-law, Marin shamelessly slept the younger sister, Felice, to be the sole son-in-law of Pope Julius II, and have all the resources.
Today, Marin's choices have received rich reports. The duel with Denmark, because of the support of the main and deputy leaders of the Hanseatic League, has made Marin have huge support in diplomacy. Otherwise, it is really difficult for Marin to legally occupy the Principality of Schleswig. After all, the dozens of tickets brought to him by the two leaders of the Hanseatic League are not a joke.
The investment in Julius II, who had fallen behind, was a great success. The arrival of the Bishop of Münster greatly increased the area of control of Marin. The land of more than 12,000 square kilometers made Marin ecstatic. The seizure of such a large area of territory actually has the legal support of the Holy See endorsement. It is simply aggression and expansion ...
