: 518th rush to Berlin

()

() & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp On the surface, Marin, in the face of King Hans and Joachim I, let Schwartz stay in Wittenberg with 30,000 troops. However, at this time there was no rebellious force in the Saxon electorate. Even if there are, 10,000 troops are enough.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp So, in fact, before leaving, Marin only allowed Schwartz to leave Wittenberg with 20,000 troops. In secret, Woolf Esbrand was sent to lead a 10,000 army to sneak attack on Berlin, the capital of the Brandenburg constituency.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp As for why to attack Berlin? Because Berlin is the capital of the electorate of Brandenburg. As long as they occupied Berlin, they naturally took the initiative in the negotiations.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Berlin is not as rich as Wittenberg. Although it is expensive as the capital of the electorate, it is a general city, which is larger and prosperous than some county seats. Even in the later period of the Kingdom of Prussia, the Brandenburg region was still a traditional agricultural area and the economy was not developed.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp The Kingdom of Prussia really took off because of the Westphalian region, including the coal-rich Ruhr area, after the war. At that time, the steam engine was developing at an age when there was coal, and the Westphalia region with the Ruhr area as its core naturally developed. Then, the widened Kingdom of Prussia became German Empire through war ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp That is to say, until the acquisition of the economically developed Westphalia region, Brandenburg has been an agricultural country with an underdeveloped economy.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Even if they captured Berlin, Marin estimated that he would not get any oil or water. However, controlling all the members of the Brandenburg branch of the Hohenzollern family is of great significance.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbspJoachim I's son, Joachim II, was born in January this year, only a few months old. The only brother of Jorge I, Albert, later Archbishop Magdeburg and Archbishop Inz, is currently only 15 years old and has not yet reached adulthood.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Moreover, only the uncles of Joachim I were still alive as Frederick, who became the count of Ansbach. It is a pity that Ansbach is far in Bavaria and belongs to the southern part of Germany.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Therefore, after Joachim I was captured, Berlin is now headless, and there is no big man who can convince the crowd to come out and turn the tide.

Contrary to this, the saxon electorate John, a man who governed Saxony with his brother Frederick III, exists. Even if Frederick III is not present, Saxony has not been chaotic and has resisted the Marin army for a long time.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp But Berlin is now in a mess. The most important thing is-there is no regular army stationed in Berlin!

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp And this is the main reason Marin intends to send troops to attack Berlin ...

When Jorgem I led the army, he almost took away all the regular troops in the electoral country of Brandenburg. & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp As for Berlin, a temporary guard of three thousand conscription was arranged.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Because Joakim I felt that his side must win, and the army would not be out for a long time, and they could win home. Therefore, there is no regular army to guard the capital Berlin.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Moreover, the electorate of Brandenburg is poor. No more regular army. Mainly, there is no money to support so many regular troops. Before the 15,000 regular army could be gathered, it was considered the limit of the Brandenburg electoral country.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp In addition, from Wittenberg to Berlin, there is only a distance of more than 100 kilometers. At this distance, the infantry is of course difficult to catch up. However, Marin seized many horses in the electoral country of Saxony. Although it is mostly a horse, but it is no problem to use it to hurry.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Saxony electorate is a country with a developed business after all, and it has a lot of horses. Even after only capturing Wittenberg and the surrounding rural areas, Marin still captured tens of thousands of horses. This number shocked Marin, but it was quickly understood. After all, Wittenberg is the capital of the economically developed electoral country of Saxony, where nobles and rich people are also concentrated. How many horses does the noble and rich have in the family? Like later generations, are there any problems with the row of luxury cars parked in the rich garages? There is no ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Now, even though Marin took 20,000 horses to Worms, Marin still left more than 10,000 horses. Although most of them are horses, they are enough.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp mobilized 10,000 veterans and rode 10,000 horses to get on the road according to the negotiation between Marin and Woolf Esbrand. There was nothing wrong with rushing to Berlin within a day without losing power. It's just over one hundred kilometers. After spending the day and night, the horses will not be too tired, and there will be no running horses. Most horses need to rest for a few days to feed some good food.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp After the surrender of the 15,000 regular army that Jokim brought to Lübeck, Brandenburg has no regular army. Even if someone saw the 10,000-strong army led by Woolf Esbrand, they could not stop them. The conscriptions of those villages are even more afraid to stop them. Because those militiamen met the 10,000 veterans led by Woolf Esbrand, and they definitely gave them away ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp It is very easy to arrive in Berlin without being blocked. As for the siege? That's not difficult. Because, Marin also allocated Nicholas Cage and his special forces to Woolf Esbrand. With the help of Cage's flying claw special forces, plus the sneak attack, the problem of winning Berlin is definitely not big.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp And after winning Berlin, Marin's negotiations at Worms are even more beneficial ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp One more thing that needs to be explained is that before Marin received the negotiation notice of the Worms Imperial Parliament, he not only deliberately let the Saxons in Wittenberg know, but also revealed the news to Brandenburg people.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Some of the Brandenburg businessmen who came to Saxony to do business are estimated to have brought the news of the negotiations back home. After all, the electorate of Brandenburg and the electorate of Saxony border on each other, and there are frequent exchanges between the two sides, and the merchants also communicate with each other. ~ Www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Therefore, this news must have passed back to Berlin.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp At this time, I heard that the Brandenburg people who are going to start negotiations must have relaxed, and would not expect Marin to send a large army to attack Berlin. At this time, sending troops to attack Berlin in the past was absolutely unexpected.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Moreover, with the three thousand conscripts in Berlin, even in a head-on confrontation, it can't stop the attack of ten thousand East Frisian veterans ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp plus Woolf Esbrand is also good at using tricks and sneak attacks. This military operation in Berlin is very difficult to make mistakes.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp On the second day Marin took 10,000 troops to Worms, Woolf Esbrand also took 10,000 infantry veterans with rich combat experience and mounted a robbed from the electoral country of Saxony Thousands of horses, horses are constantly moving towards Berlin, intending to win Berlin in one fell swoop and increase the bargaining power of the Worms negotiation. With Woolf Esbrand, there are also Nicolas Cage, who is closely related to it, and more than 200 special forces led by Cage, who are good at using claws to climb the city walls ...
