Chapter 274: Family meeting
Regarding Albert, the Huffman family soon held a family meeting www. КanShuge. In addition to the old Huffman and Mrs. Mary, Lain had all the siblings of Marin.
Adler came back to attend Anne ’s birthday party before, and returned to Aurich, too. Therefore, Adler also attended the family meeting. Even Annie even attended. After all, Anne is already an adult, and she should be exposed to political matters. As for Angela and Liv, there was no good meeting.
When Albert explained the reason and confessed to give up marrying a foreign princess, the old Hoffman was angry. He shouted at Marin:
"Asshole, are you such an elder brother? Albert wants to go to the Wilderness Continent and does he have anything to do with marrying a foreign princess?"
"The relationship is big now, dad, the foreign princess is in danger of leaking!" Marin did not face the old Hoffman this time, but repeated the risk of leaks he had talked to Albert.
"Did Simon and Albert be able to marry a foreign princess anymore?" Old Huffman was not happy. His five children, the eldest and the second, all went to the daughter of a knight, not of high grade. Therefore, he hoped that his two young sons would marry the princess, and Anne would also marry a foreign prince. In this way, how much face do you say?
"No, if Albert doesn't go to the wilderness, there is no such limit. Any princess he loves to marry is successful."
"Then ... Albert, let's not go to the wilderness continent, shall we?" Old Huffman advised. In his view, it doesn't matter whether you go to the wilderness continent. However, whether to marry or not to marry a princess is a big deal.
However, Albert was determined:
"No, father, I still decided to go to the wilderness continent as governor."
"You can also be a governor in the local area. Marin controls East Friesland, Oldenburg, Schleswig and Münster. Any place can make a governor's position. Marin, Am I right?"
Marin nodded and echoed:
"Yes, Albert, you don't need to go to the wilderness continent, you can get a decent position in the country." Marin is the boss of several princes, and it is still easy to arrange a position for Albert. .
"No, I'm going to be governor. I really like that pioneering feeling. And, it's not that difficult to deal with the Indians. Brother Marin's expansion in Germany is very clear, the opponents are all strong enemies. If it is not a horse Brother Lin has the wisdom taught by Daxian and ca n’t resist it at all. So, I like to explore, it is still more suitable to fight Indian natives on the wild land ... "
Marin nodded, and he found that his little brother was still very intelligent. He knew that his ability was not enough to fight against people in Germany, so he chose to bully the Indians. This is not bullying, but reason. If you obviously don't have enough talent, but you go against the tyranny of all parties, that's an idiot.
Even Marin himself, if the knowledge of the previous life is too rich, and he is also very knowledgeable. It is also impossible to fight against the powerful people of the same generation with one's own talents. Only by using knowledge beyond the times to crush the ancient aborigines, it is enough to allow yourself to occupy a place in the princes' hegemony.
Albert is not a traverser, and his talent is not very high. Naturally, he has no ability to compete with the heroes of this era. Therefore, he chose to bully the Indians, but it was a smart choice.
After thinking for a while, Marin said:
"Now that you have made up your mind, so be it. I will let Tara go to Havana as governor. And you will go to the governor of Amerigo. The climate there is not hot and there are no tropical diseases. Compare Safety."
"But, that's not too challenging? It is said that there is no Indian on those two islands." Albert was a little unhappy. He feels that he has lost the bargain.
"No, Albert, these two islands are my springboard for conquering the wilderness continent. The richness of the wilderness continent is comparable to Europe. These two islands are my bridgeheads and logistic bases for conquering the wilderness continent. So, there Location is important. After a while, I plan to send an army to try it out to see if it can expand on land. "
"That's really great!" Albert was very happy.
At this moment, Simon on one side suddenly interjected:
"That ... Brother Marin, can I take the soldiers to fight the Indians?"
Marin looked at Simon and said with a smile:
"Yes, the conditions are the same as Albert, no foreign princesses are allowed ... In addition, no daughters or sisters of domestic military commanders ..."
Suddenly, the old Huffman couldn't help but broke out, he shouted at Marin:
"Marin, what do you mean? Even if you are not allowed to marry a foreign princess, you are not allowed to marry the daughter or sister of a domestic general. Do n’t you know that most of the nobles in the country are generals of military commanders? Will it become a noble? "
Old Huffman said it was true. In East Frisia Lambert, most of the nobles were commanders. For example, Schwartz, such as Kahn, was knighted for his merits.
"You are talking about East Friesland, but there are old nobles in the Old Kingdom of Oldenburg and the Principality of Schleswig ..."
"Then why are they not allowed to marry the daughter or sister of the military commander?" Said the old Hoffman with dissatisfaction.
"Because I'm afraid they will one day become Richard III ..." Marin stood up, looked at the old Hoffman, and said one word after another seriously.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room cooled down and the air seemed to freeze. Mrs. Mary, Albert and Annie all changed their faces ...
Adler was puzzled first, but he seemed to think of something, and his face also changed ...
There is only old Hoffman, who does n’t know what Richard III is. After Mrs. Mary whispered with her, the old Hoffman jumped in shock:
"You ... you ... you ... Marin, you actually look at your brother like this?" As he said this, old Huffman was already a little stuttered. He did not expect that Marin was so cold.
"Not my own brother, but, as an emperor, there must be all dangers, strangled in the cradle state!" Marin said decisively.
"Emperor ..." The people present were shocked.
"Yes, emperor! Do you think I will not be the past? I have control of the five princely states of East Friesland, Oldenburg, Schleswig, Münster and Osnabrück. My country is already equivalent to a small kingdom. So, it is very likely to become a king in the future. So, do n’t be surprised. And, an emperor, he must be cold and ruthless. Edward IV is too great Believe in his brother, so his son Edward V was killed ... "
"Who said Edward V was dead? It is said that Edward V and his brother Richard, the Duke of York, escaped ..." Annie said unconvincedly.
"Run away? If you really run away, will Henry VII be king? Tell you that Edward V and Duke of York were killed by Richard III, right in the Tower of London. Their bodies were put into London. No one found in the wall of the tower ... "Marin said grimly.
The people shuddered, and the old Huffman said strangely:
"How did you know?"
"My teacher Einstein told me that he was in London at the time. According to divination, he learned that two poor children were killed in the Tower Garden Tower of London, and the body was built into the wall by the stairs ... Oh, Richard III is their uncle ... "
At this moment, Albert suddenly stood up and said:
"Brother Marin, you can rest assured that I will never be a person like Richard III. Moreover, I will never be involved in military power, nor will I be associated with a general!"
Marin nodded approvingly:
"Albert, I believe in you. I did this to prevent future problems, not against you and Simon."
"I understand ..." Albert said softly.
Albert said that both Adler and Simon couldn't sit still, and the old Huffman's face became ugly.
Adler stuttered:
"Marin ... Or, I ... I surrender the command of the army in Oldenburg and come back ..."
"No, Adler, you can rest assured that your troops are only militia, and they are stationed outside the country. As long as the number does not exceed 5000, I will have no other ideas. Moreover, my inheritance is yours. , I will not treat you and your heirs badly. "
Adler just sat back safely, and Simon didn't know what to say, he said:
"Brother Marin, I ..."
"It's okay, Simon. As long as you don't control the local army, there is no problem. Going to attack the wild mainland natives, I don't mind ..."
"Brother Marin, what about me ..." Anne was also scared by Marin's performance just now, and asked with some fear.
"Annie ... hehe, what are you worried about, you will marry the prince and become a happy girl in the future ... However, you can not tell your future husband the rich secrets of the wild mainland ... otherwise ~ www.wuxiaspot. com ~ If he has the ambition to fight with me, I might kill him ... "Marin smiled and said something that made everyone shudder.
"Hum hum ...... Marin brother, I beg you not to kill him, or I will become widows ......" Anne was apparently terrified.
"Relax, Annie, as long as you don't reveal this secret, isn't there no danger?" Marin said gently.
Annie did n’t cry, but she was scared too much ...
By the side, old Huffman was angry. Mrs. Mary looked at Marin with a complicated expression. That look was both unhappy and comforting ... she knew that her son Marin was already a qualified, ruthless monarch ...
Marin saw that everyone seemed to be calmed down, and wanted to ease the atmosphere, so he said:
"Okay, my brothers and sisters, do n’t worry. As long as you do n’t take the initiative to hurt me, I wo n’t hurt you. After all, we are brothers and sisters of a mother. My Malin is rich and will not forget Yours. The more successful I am, the more benefits you will have. Today, I said these words to remind everyone. This also shows that I do n’t want to go to the point where I am opposed to my brothers ... "
Everyone nodded their heads in recognition of Marin's statement. However, the warm atmosphere cannot be recovered. For the first time, Marin ’s brothers and sisters realized that their most prosperous brother was not only their relatives but also a ruthless monarch ...
