Chapter 49: Danish plan
When Princess Hedwig's body was delivered to Oldenburg, the capital of the Old Kingdom of Oldenburg, John V, the earl of Oldenburg, violently thundered and directly ordered the four unlucky eggs that escorted the Hedwig's coffin .
As for what the four unlucky eggs said, it was Edo Wilmken who killed Hedwig, and John V didn't believe it at all. In other words, he is unwilling to believe. More bluntly, he deliberately chose not to believe ...
Heidwig was killed. There were no third-party forces present, only the Marin people, and the people who were once the Wilmken family but now become Marin captives. Therefore, John V can completely ensure that Marin is lying.
In fact, the Oldenburg pretends to be in the Yevre region not one day or two. His father, Gerhard VI, had chosen to marry Hedwig to Edo Wilmken without failing to annex Jever.
Be aware that in Germany, it is not normal to rely on marriage, and then wait for the opponent to succeed, and then inherit the opponent ’s territory and title. Many large forces rely on marriage and sitting to wait for their relatives to expand their territory. Of course, there is a premise here, that is, your family's fertility exceeds that of the other party, and the other party is exhausted. If you do n’t have a son, I ’m sorry, your territory is someone else ’s. Even if your daughter marries another noble, you have to change the man's surname. Even the queen, who does not change her surname after marriage, gives birth to the child's surname.
In British history, the change of dynasty, in addition to the coup, the queen's descendants followed the male surname is also an important way of dynasty change. For example, the Saxony-Coburg-Korda dynasty, the son of Queen Victoria, followed her husband ’s surname. Of course, in order to draw a clear line with Germany, this dynasty was later renamed the Windsor dynasty. Until Marin passed through, the last Queen Elizabeth II of the Windsor dynasty was still stubbornly alive, and the crown prince Prince Charles was white ...
Waiting for Prince Charles to succeed ... Uh ... Te Miao actually surnamed Windsor ... Too bad for Prince Philip ...
In the original history, the Oldenburg family did succeed in planning. The little girl Maria, who was killed by Edo Wilmken personally, had no offspring after her death and directly sent the Jever region to Oldenburg country……
It's just that in this time and space, the Syxner family has been wiped out by Marin. Now, the Wilmken family has also been destroyed ...
Although the sister died, John V, Earl of Oldenburg was very sad and very angry. However, he still remembers the original plan of father and brother-to seize Jever ...
Therefore, John V decided to take advantage of the fact that Marin accidentally caused the death of Hedwig and Marlin killed him. Then, the cousin of the Danish King Hans, put pressure on Marin to seize the Jever region ...
The Yevre area is so large, with hundreds of square kilometers. And Oldenburg, only about 4,000 square kilometers, only a little bigger than East Friesland. If you get 500 square kilometers of Yevre, the territorial area will be increased by one-eighth.
Therefore, the heart of John V is very contradictory. He was both saddened by the death of his sister Hedwig and excited by the imminent seizure of the Jever region.
Of course, with the power of Oldenburg, it is not enough. Not to mention, just the number of troops, Malin ’s East Friesland had tens of thousands of troops, and it completely exploded into the Old Kingdom of Oldenburg. Moreover, the fighting power of the East Frisian army is still very powerful, and they have defeated more than 20,000 troops of the Principality of Saxony.
But there is Denmark behind Oldenburg ...
Denmark is a powerful European country. Perhaps, the Danish army might not be able to defeat East Friesland. However, the Danish navy is terrifying. Its 50 professional warships are proud of Europe. Apart from Portugal, no other country can compare with Denmark at sea.
And precisely, John V knew that East Friesland, the current Earl of Marin, was very dependent on maritime trade. If there is no maritime trade, Marin may not be able to feed the 10,000 army (he still does not know that Marin has 10,000 in the Teutonic Kingdom) ...
As long as Denmark frees up its hands and encloses the warship outside Emden Harbor, do not believe that Marin will not yield ...
In fact, Marin was also worried that the Danes had brought the warships around. In this way, I really have to finish. After all, he really relies on maritime trade.
Therefore, Marin once again sent a messenger, intending to lose money ...
However, John V had made up his mind long ago, and he decided that he would only forgive him if he lost the Jever region ...
Marin ignored him directly—Made, really a lunatic, a princess of Bo Kingdom, is it worth 500 square kilometers of enclosure? Even the heirs of the Old Kingdom of Oldenburg may not be worth the price ...
And John V is not in a hurry now. Because he had to wait for the war in Denmark to end. After all, Denmark is now devoting most of its troops to the Swedish battlefield. Even the 50 warships were used to block the Swedish coastline ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Therefore, in the current situation, Denmark is temporarily unable to take care of the Oldenburg side.
However, John V sent an emissary to Copenhagen and asked King Hans of Denmark how to do this ...
After receiving this news, King Hans was also very hot-what a special, a little earl, dare to kill my cousin, it is really tired ...
But, for Marin, he also knows. In terms of army strength alone, Hans was not sure he could defeat East Friesland. Because he believes that the strength of the Danish Army may not exceed that of Saxony, which has a large army of 20,000 or more.
The 20,000-thousand-thousand army of Saxony, including thousands of knights, were defeated by Marin. The Danish army took it and may not be the opponent of others.
However, John V said that this Marin is economically dependent on foreign trade, and most of its income comes from the foreign trade of Emden Port. As long as he frees his hands and allows the Danish navy to surround Emden, Marin can succumb ...
Speaking of the Navy, the Danish King Hans, who hasn't been afraid of anyone yet. Even the emerging maritime power of Portugal, the Danes may not necessarily be in the eyes (in fact, Portugal has since come to prevail). After all, Denmark has been the European maritime hegemon since the Viking era, dominating for hundreds of years ...
It's just that now the Danish army, including the navy, is stuck in the Swedish battlefield and can't pull it out. Therefore, the Danish King Hans wrote back to his cousin, let John V wait for the first time, do not rush to negotiate. When Denmark draws its hand, it sends the navy to demonstrate outside Emden ...
By that time, Denmark not only wanted to help the Oldenburg to seize Jever, but also wanted to extort the allegedly rich Marin for a sum of money. As for how much, Hans hasn't figured it out, anyway, tens of thousands of gold coins can't run away. Exactly, the subsidies caused by Denmark ’s dispatch of troops to Sweden ...
