Chapter 519: A completely different attitude
()
() & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp's attack on Berlin was unimaginably smooth. Woolf Esbrand and his 10,000 army arrived outside Berlin at midnight the next day after departure.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp After two or three hours of rest 10 kilometers away from Berlin, the army approached the Berlin Wall at around three in the morning. Special Forces Commander Nicolas Cage once again played in person, with more than two hundred men, using the flying claws, in the blind area of the Berlin City defense, climbed the city wall, and quickly entered the city, straight into the south gate of Berlin.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp At this time in Berlin, because of the news that the two parties were about to negotiate in Worms, there was no way to prevent Marin from sending troops to attack at this time. Moreover, there are only three thousand conscripts in the city, and even the commanders are young aristocrats of half dangling level. Therefore, the defense of Berlin City is full of loopholes. Moreover, behind the city gate of Berlin, there were not enough soldiers to defend the city gate, nor did they block the city gate with debris.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Under such precautions, the goalkeeper of Berlin City is naturally difficult to resist the surprise attack of Cage's special forces. Soon, the south gate of Berlin city was opened, and Woolf Esbrand swarmed with a large army ...
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Facing the night raids of enemy forces, even professional regular troops are prone to chaos, not to mention the 3,000 conscriptions? Before Woolf Esbrand ordered an assault, the defenders in the city broke up on their own, and the streets were chaotic. Some conscripts were even frightened, and they rushed wildly, just like headless flies.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Finally, only two hundred loyal guards stationed in the Royal Palace of Berlin are still holding on, protecting Mrs. Elector and the little prince Jokim just a few months ...
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp only, Marin sent Woolf Esbrand to attack Berlin, and did not plan to take Berlin.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp The reason is that Joakim I did not do anything to anger Marin ...
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Frederick III jumped up and down, and wanted to put Marin to death, Marlin would not be polite, and directly carried out demolition in Wittenberg. The Brandenburg side did not provoke Marin, and Marin did not intend to do anything, just took Berlin as a bargaining chip.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Therefore, instead of attacking Berlin ’s royal palace, Woolf Esbrandt sent troops to control the main roads in the city and controlled the residences of the nobles, limiting their access.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Then, at dawn, through negotiations, Woolf Esbrand led his troops into the royal palace of Berlin.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp is in charge of negotiating with Woolf Esbrand, Prince Albert, the younger brother of Joachim I, who is only 15 years old. As for the electorate, the Danish princess, Elizabeth, was already too scared to speak, only knowing that she was holding her son and trembling in the bedroom.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Therefore, in the absence of elders, Prince Albert, who is only 15 years old, dared to talk with Woolf Esbrand.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp made Prince Albert unexpectedly, Woolf Esbrand, who led troops to conquer Berlin, spoke surprisingly. In the end, the two parties agreed that Woolf Esbrand's army could take over the palace, but not enter the residential area where Electorate Elizabeth and the young little prince Joakim were.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Woolf Esbrand's plan to enter the palace was just to search the treasury. After all, although Brandenburg is not wealthy, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat ...
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp But in order not to stimulate the young and magnificent Joakim I, Marin had explained to Woolf Esbrand in advance-only to grab cash, not to plunder those gold and silver objects, not to enter the inner court to harass the electorate family……
As for the noble residences of Brandenburg, Woolf Esbrand adopted the same strategy-only grab gold and silver coins, and conspicuous gold and silver objects, not rob other property. Of course, the grain of this 10,000 army also needs to be extracted from the granary in Berlin ...
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp As a matter of fact, as royals and nobles, they rarely exchange their property for gold coins in the warehouse. In order to maintain a luxurious aristocratic life, they often exchanged gold and silver coins for a large number of luxury goods and gold and silver objects, and arranged the royal palaces and mansions magnificently.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbspWoolf Esbrand sent people to **** the gold and silver coins from the palace and those noble families, but only robbed them of a small part of their wealth. After all, the big and small nobles of Brandenburg are not as much in business as the Saxony nobility, and their cash is very limited.
After the statistics, only gold and silver coins worth more than 100,000 Gulden coins were copied from the royal palace and those noble families. Compared with the electorate of Saxony, it is really shabby.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Of course, this is also impossible. Because of the low agricultural output, the financial resources of an aristocrat who depends on agricultural output cannot be compared with a commercial aristocrat. The gap between the two is equivalent to the difference between a well-off house and a rich man.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp In desperation, in order to make up for the cash of 200,000 gold coins, Woolf Esbrand also sent people to go to the homes of the few big businessmen in Berlin City and knocked on the money , Only enough cash for 200,000 gold coins.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Then, Woolf Esbrand stopped and did not allow his men to **** the nobles' other property or order the whole city to be looted, which made the Berliners very surprised.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Woolf Esbrand even allowed Prince Albert to write everything that happened in the city of Berlin, and sent a herald by Woolf Esbrand to the soldiers who were heading to Wall James Marin's army.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Marin's army did not march too fast because he brought two tow tanks in a horse-drawn carriage with the Danish King Hans and the Brandenburg Elector Houchoem I. Before arriving in Worms, the letter from Prince Albert was sent to Marin by the heralds of Woolf Esbrand. Along with this letter, there is a detailed report from Woolf Esbrand to Marin.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp heard that Berlin was being attacked by a sneak attack, and Joachim I stood up angrily, shouting at Marin:
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Why are you attacking Berlin? Negotiations are about to begin! If my family has any accidents, I will refuse all your requests! Even if you will always be your captive!"
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Relax, Master Joakim, your family is okay. Moreover, my soldiers did not enter the residence area of your palace, just took some gold and silver coins in the warehouse."
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp finished ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Marin sent the detailed report of Woolf Esbrand to Jokim I ...
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp After reading the battle report, Joakim I sighed and said:
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "I had no money, and I was the poorest of the Seven Electors. Now I only have 100,000 gold coins of cash still robbed by you, and I have to pay a large sum of money afterwards. The hard life of eating brown bread! "
As soon as Marin thought about it, it really was ... The electorate of Brandenburg had no money at all, and now he cut the ground to pay compensation, and in the future, Joachim I really wants to tighten his belt and live.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp But again, it was because of the lack of money that Joachim I would be fooled by Frederick III and help fight Lübeck and Hamburg together! After all, as soon as one of Lübeck and Hamburg was captured, Joakim I made it ... but I didn't expect it to fail. It seems that the land has to be cut for compensation, which is really unlucky ...
