Chapter 478: Let's bully Denmark!
The plan of Tagfakht ’s Speaker is very good, very businesslike. But Marin has a different idea ...
Marin believes that this time should be the best time to go north and defeat Denmark. Although Saxony is wealthy, Marin is not bad. Therefore, coveting and seizing Denmark's Jutland Peninsula and the Kingdom of Norway is Marin's biggest goal.
As for the electorate of Saxony, the army ran over, in addition to robbery, what are the benefits? And, even if you caught Frederick III, how dare you call him? Renjia is a prestigious character in the Seven Electors. Once he suffered, there must be a lot of solidarity.
Unlike the "dog ignoring" nobles like George the Duke of Saxony (the expression is a bit exaggerated), Frederick III is one of the seven electors and has a good reputation in the Imperial Parliament.
In the original history, Emperor Maximilian I lost the "Swabian War" and his prestige plummeted. So the German princes (mainly the Electors) led the establishment of an "Empire Management Committee" that took charge of the main power of the Imperial Parliament, and the chairman of this committee was Frederick III ...
It can be said that Frederick III was the leader of the German princes. Although the emperor did not lose in the "Swabian War" due to Marin's intervention, there was no such thing as the so-called "Empire Management Committee", but this did not hinder the great influence of Friedrich III in the German princes.
Even in the original history, after the death of Maximilian I in 1519, the electors supported Frederick III as the Holy Roman Emperor. But considering the reasons for the Habsburg family to lead the resistance against the powerful Ottoman Turkey, Frederick III voluntarily gave up the throne and turned to support Charles V ...
This shows that Frederick III is a hot potato ...
It would be fine if we seized the opponent in the previous decisive battle, but if the soldiers were chased to Frederick III ’s nest to siege the opponent, the other princes in the German region would definitely react fiercely. At that time, the princes may force Marin to retreat. Otherwise, it is a wave of unanimous condemnation from all (at least most) German princes, even threats of force ...
The princes could accept that Frederick III was defeated and captured on the battlefield, but if Marin wanted to siege the capital of Saxony's electorate, Wittenberg, and do the demolition (in fact, robbery), the other princes would not sit idly by. of.
After all, the Elector of Saxony is the leader of the German princes, and if Marin occupied the electoral prince of Saxony, it is equivalent to challenging the entire German aristocracy ...
More importantly, Marin was just an unknown little knight before. His appearance and development have challenged the original German noble system. In addition, Marin is the common enemy of the princes-the people of Maximilian I. Those princes must not want to see Marin destroying the electoral kingdom of Saxony.
Therefore, if he wants to attack the electorate of Saxony, Marin can imagine how he will be blocked by the princes ...
Whether it is political mediation or military threats, the other princes will not sit idly by and watch the Saxon electorate destroyed by Marin's army. However, Marin cannot refuse them. Otherwise, it is against the entire German ...
...
North Denmark is different. Denmark is not part of the German Empire. Those princes will not be able to feed the Kingdom of Denmark. Only countries like the Electorate of Saxony and the Electorate of Brandenburg, which have close alliance with Denmark, will speak to Denmark.
Since Marin and allies last cut off the Principality of Schleswig and Holstein, the current Kingdom of Denmark has nothing to do with Germany.
Coupled with the support of Denmark ’s Saxony and Brandenburg constituencies, both were defeated by Marin ’s army, so now Denmark is an unlucky bastard.
Although it is said that if you want to completely annex Denmark, European countries will definitely not agree. However, if a large area of land (such as the Jutland peninsula) is cut off from Denmark and the Kingdom of Norway is taken away, only a few small islands such as Denmark's Zealand Island are left.
After all, Marin did n’t do anything, but kept the Zealand and Danish crowns ...
According to the prevailing norms of the European aristocracy at this time, the losers must pay a price. Therefore, it is reasonable to let it cede the territory and compensate the money-who told you to lose ...
However, it is different to completely destroy a country. Such evil cases cannot be opened. Otherwise, is n’t there war on the European continent? Are you happy to be a noble?
Of course, if it's in a remote place like the British Isles that everyone can't manage, there's no way. After all, sailing was underdeveloped at this time, and everyone was unable to reach out to the backcountry like the British Isles ...
Therefore, the fight for the throne of England is very high, but the European countries on the mainland can not interfere with it very much. If you want to interfere, you must have a boat ...
And on land, especially in the German region where princes walked everywhere, where the knights were like dogs, if you want to do something, you must take into account the opinions of other princes. Unless, you are strong and have many allies. You annexed another country, there was a group of allies cheering on the side, and still shouting "666", such a cattle person, no one will have opinions, nor dare to have opinions ... Because you have many brothers, whoever refuses to obey will cut who ... …
But Marin is different. Since he became a noble with the power of Emperor Maximilian I, he has been labeled as "Emperorism". When Maximilian I was young, he was mentally disabled and shouted the slogan of "centralization" and became the public enemy of all German princes. Marin followed the emperor, but was also implicated.
Therefore, Marin wants to take his troops to the electorate of Saxony and the electorate of Brandenburg, which will certainly cause the princes to rebound.
Perhaps they would think that this was Marin's tentative attempt to unify Germany as the vanguard of Maximilian I ...
Marin now has some regrets about mixing with Maximilian I, but now it's a little troublesome to quit. Anyway, now he is from the emperor's faction. If he withdraws from the emperor's faction, but is not accepted by the princely faction, then he is really not human at all.
Marin told his two presidents about his concerns. After thinking about them, they had to admit that Marin's concerns were not groundless. Moreover, the Lubecks and Hamburgers can also vaguely see that Marin was rejected by most nobles ...
However, it is precisely because of this that Marin needs Lübeck and Hamburg, who are not in the eyes of the aristocracy, as allies. For other princes who are well-matched in the aristocracy, who would like to form an alliance with merchant-based cities like Lübeck and Hamburg? Perhaps, when you need to borrow money, you will give Lubeck and Hamburg a good face. Usually, the businessmen who look down on Lübeck and Hamburg do not look at all. Unless, they owe a lot of money to Lübeck and Hamburg ...
The Speakers of Tagfacht and Heisenberg are also very helpless, and they also understand that as a Hanseatic commercial city, if they go with Marin to trample on the electorate of Saxony and the electorate of Brandenburg The land of the country, plundering the wealth there, the two cities will also become the nails and thorns of the nobles ...
Fortunately, this time they won. In any case, it must have been able to extort a large sum of money from the two electoral states. It can even cede some land (although it has nothing to do with them). After all, the victor is qualified to do this ...
Since the Electorate of Saxony and the Electorate of Brandenburg are not very active, then ... let all the anger vent to the Kingdom of Denmark ...
Marin has land requirements for Denmark ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Lübeck and Hamburg also have their own demands ...
This time, they intend to force Denmark to abandon the development of its own maritime trade, and let the merchant ships of Lübeck and Hamburg take on the task of transporting Danish foreign trade. In this way, there is no worry about Denmark taking the opportunity to revive the navy.
As long as Denmark is forced to sign an agreement to completely abandon the navy and hand over all sea transportation to the merchant ships of Lübeck and Hamburg ... then the Kingdom of Denmark will never have the opportunity to rise and compete with the Hanseatic League ...
In general, Denmark is better at bullying ...
So, Marin and the two Speakers decided unanimously-let's go hand in hand to bully the little potmate named "Denmark" ...
