Chapter 523: I am just

Frederick III did not expect Marin to give himself up so much in the face of the public, and what he said was so reasonable, he was there for a while.

However, as an old fritter in politics, Frederick III quickly adjusted his mind and said loudly:

"Well, I'm assuming you don't help the emperor to reunify Germany, but where did your 40,000 army come from? What do you hire so many troops to do? Do you want to reunite Germany yourself? You know, even your emperor, Austria Together with the army in the Netherlands, there are only more than 20,000 people. It can be said that there are not as many troops in Germany as there are in Germany. "

"What's even more disturbing is that your 40,000 troops are all strong combat troops, and there are few weak soldiers. With the strongest army in Germany, Marin Hoffman, what do you want to do? Do you want to set aside the emperor and act alone as the overlord? "

Suddenly, the scene rioted. Although knowing this result, Frederick III spoke again on the spot, and everyone still felt very shocked. You know, many princes present, hundreds of troops under his command. Thousands of soldiers and subordinates are considered powerful princes. Marin's 40,000-strong army, and the 40,000-strong army with strong combat effectiveness, is indeed scary.

This is also the main reason why many princes agreed to stand on the side of Frederick III to join forces to suppress Marin's upward momentum. Everyone's military strength is very weak, you are so strong, what do you want to do?

Even those religious princes, suppressed by the Holy See, want to suppress Marin in their hearts. After all, his military strength is too strong. The Bohemian King Vladislas II, in fact, was not too happy to see Marin as powerful. However, he did not bother to ask these things, and he has been busy giving birth to sons all these years. Otherwise, as the head of the secular princes, the only king among the princes would not let the prince of Saxony take the leadership of the secular princes. In addition, the relationship between Marin and the Jagiellonian dynasty has been good, so Vladislas II stood on Marin's side with ambivalence. At least, he will not suppress Marin. But in fact, he was also worried about Marin's power.

Frederick III pointed out the fact that Marin's military was powerful. Not only did the faces of the secular princes look bad, but also the faces of the religious princes were full of sadness.

At this time, the religious war has not yet erupted, and the authority of the Holy See is still very heavy. Therefore, these religious princes dared not to give face to the Holy See. However, from an inner point of view, they also hope to suppress the momentum of Marin. After all, most of these religious princes are also from the family of secular princes. No one wants his family to be wiped out by Marin's strong expansion.

Seeing everyone's face changed, Frederick III was very proud. However, he knew it was not enough. After all, those religious princes stood aside, including the Bohemian King Vladislas II, who was slightly higher in jurisprudence than him, and they did not oppose Marin.

So after thinking about it, Frederick III continued:

"You not only have a strong and terrifying military strength, but also ambitious. I heard that this time, you intend to let Denmark cede the Jutland peninsula and the Kingdom of Norway ... what? Malin knight, you have only been a few years Earl, do you want to be king now? "

"King of Norway! That can exist on an equal footing with His Majesty the Emperor, an independent sovereign monarch, a half higher than His Majesty Vladislas. Why, Malin little knight, you want us to be all German Nobles, you have to salute you when you see them? You have only been a noble for a few years? Actually want to climb all German nobles? "

This time the noble crowd is even more commotion. For these noble princes, the noble background is their proud source. Moreover, as vested interests, they are the firmest supporters of the pedigree.

However, now that the son of a knight actually wants to climb on their heads, how can they not be jealous and dissatisfied? If they are on an equal footing with them, they may still be able to accept it. However, if Marin is one level higher than them and becomes the king of an independent kingdom, it is quite difficult to accept. You should know that despite guarding Emperor Maximilian I to reunify Germany, it can be seen that Maximilian I, the monarch, must also be honest and honest. Even if they were against Maximilian I, they secretly acted as a stumbling block. On the bright side, they must respect the superior monarch.

Who is Marin? Eleven years ago, Marin was just a wandering knight who was kicked out of the house. He was not even a noble and had no inheritance rights. How long is this? Not only did they become counts, they also became dukes. Now even more so, actually want to be a king ... Is it going to heaven?

Nobles are animals that need to be face-saving. To put it bluntly, it is to die. Many aristocrats, with poor finances, are already so poor that they can't get rid of it. However, in order to face, they still pay attention to ostentation. If there is no money, continue to maintain the aristocracy by borrowing usury directly. If you can't afford the money, sell the privileges directly to the merchants who borrowed their money.

In fact, in many imperial cities and Hanseatic commercial cities, they can obtain autonomy by buying them from emperors and lords.

Such a deadly face group, sometimes, they are more concerned about Marin, who was a homeless knight 11 years ago, and climbed on their heads, forcing them to salute them first. In their opinion of their noble lineage, this is shame, and it is a shame ...

Seeing that the nobles' emotions were mobilized, Frederick III was triumphant, and Marin screamed badly. Because, Marin saw that the faces of many religious princes also changed ...

If those religious princes were led by this public opinion and turned to oppose their own camp, then the situation would be detrimental to themselves. So, Marin decided to change the subject ——

"Don't listen to his nonsense, how can I have 40,000 troops? To be precise, I only have 30,000 main troops. The other 10,000 troops are borrowed from Britain, and all the soldiers are English! Do not believe it, after the negotiation, everyone can go to our army to verify! "

"Borrowed? Can I still borrow 10,000 powerful soldiers? Is there such a good thing? Please bring me 30,000 troops, and I will also borrow!" Frederick III said sarcastically.

Marin shook his head and said:

"I am not accurate. Strictly speaking, I was hired. The cost of hiring is to give them a large part of the compensation received after defeating Saxony!"

"Who believes?" Frederick III said squinting squintingly.

"I swear to God that there are really 10,000 people in my army who are hired from England!" Marin twitched his head here. The ten thousand people were indeed mercenaries he hired from England, and he was right. However, he concealed that the owner of the army was himself. Outsiders heard that he thought he was a 10,000 English mercenary hired from the leader of the English mercenaries. Even if everyone found something wrong afterwards, Marin's oath had no problem.

Seeing Marin swear in the name of God, everyone believed. After all, no one dares to blaspheme this year. Theocratic power, before the religious war, was higher than the secular power.

But Frederick III was still unyielding:

"I remember, your third legionary, still stay in the local garrison? In this way, you still have 40,000 troops!"

Marin immediately replied:

"That's the fake Third Army, the real Third Army has always been with me. The third army stationed in the mainland is all temporarily recruited militia!"

"You are not afraid of the homelessness and homelessness?" Frederick III said in surprise.

"What am I afraid of? I have 30,000 main forces, and 10,000 troops hired from England. Forty thousand troops are in hand, who dares to fight my country? Besides, even the conscripted militia, relying on the strong wall, Can support for a long time. And, who dares to attack me behind? Not afraid of my 40,000 army revenge? "

"The decisive battle with your 50,000 armies directly determines my life and death. If I lose, your old shameless ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ will surely steal my territory and make me lose everything. So, with you The first battle is the most important. If you win, you can keep everything and get a lot of compensation. If you lose, you will lose everything and become a stupid dog. So I brought the local elite. . In the end, I won the bet! "

"I have no intention of depriving you of everything after winning. At least, you are still the earl of East Friesland!" Frederick III quickly denied. But in fact, he really had the plan to grab Marin's territory ... Well, only leaving Texel Island to Marin, which was originally Marin's enclosure. Moreover, a small island, Frederick III is not in the eyes. However, on this occasion, he will never admit it.

"Don't admit it yet? I paid a lot of money for the information, saying that you once said that you would **** East Frisian Lambert!" Marin said in a huff. In fact, he also pretended to be just a lie to Frederick III.

Unexpectedly, Frederick III really said this, and more than once. Therefore, Frederick III actually blushed old ... Although soon disappeared, many people still saw it. Frederick III denied it again, but he was lack of confidence in all aspects.

Seeing this, Marin immediately chased and said:

"Look, look at his face! How vicious is our Frederick? My Marin fights, just let others cede part of the territory. And he is good, he wants to deprive the other of all the territory directly! People, do you still believe him? "

The princes were stunned for a moment, so I didn't know what to say.

And Marin said while hot:

"Everyone, have you thought about it? Although I have won many benefits from winning the war. But, which war was the first one I initiated? I was forced to fight back, OK? So, I have always been justice Party ... "
