Chapter 532: Conditions halved, benefit first
()
() & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Then ... what should I do now? Bow your heads to the princes? But if they bow their heads, they might get into the corner and force me to give up those benefits that I can get!" Marin said distressedly.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp These princes, are not particularly good. If you overpower them, they will swallow their grandsons. However, once you show their decline, they will immediately become hungry wolves and bite a piece of meat from you. It is precisely because he understands the wicked nature of these princes that Marin deliberately pretended to be arrogant, just to suppress the other's momentum. However, unexpectedly, it caused the anger of most princes.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Julius II is an old politician after all, he thought for a while and said:
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "You really are not suitable to show them weakness and softness in public, because they will put forward a condition of being oversized. And once you refuse, the conflict between the two parties may increase ... So, my intention is-you continue to be arrogant and show that you do not treat them What it looks like in your eyes. In this way, you and the princes must be in trouble. Finally, I came out as a mediator and asked you to give away a lot of benefits. And you pretended to be very unwilling and very wronged ... These princes, when you see that you have been wronged, your heart will be very refreshing, and your anger will dissipate most of it ... But in fact, you should have received it long ago, and it will not be a loss ... "
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Marin was a little dull-Father-in-law pitted himself, it seemed very slippery ... Sure enough the old politician ...
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp woke up, Marin asked:
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "My father-in-law, then, what do you think, what bottom line should I keep?"
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp The bottom line is what must be obtained. Of course, this time the bottom line request was made by Julius II as a mediator. Then, Marin accepted it pretending to be wronged.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "So, what do you want?"
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbspMarin thought about it and said:
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Jutland; the land of the Kingdom of Norway including the throne; the west part of the Elbe River in the electoral country of Brandenburg (including the later Stendal and Salzwedel-Altmark counties, with a total area of about 4700 square meters Km. Among them, Stendal is an important prosperous town on the Elbe, and the wedding of Joachim I and Princess Elizabeth of Denmark was held in this city); the electorate of Saxony ... well, almost ceded so More places ... As for the compensation, the market price is calculated ... "
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Julius II shook his head straight after hearing it. After a while, he said to Marin:
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Marin, you are too greedy!"
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Marin is puzzled:
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "It's nothing, I think I'm restrained. You see, I have reserved the Danish throne and core area for Denmark. Of course, Denmark is a foreign country, and it doesn't matter if I blackmail the land."
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "As for Brandenburg and Saxony, because they are the electors of their own country, I have been very restrained. Therefore, I asked them to cede part of the territory, which is already very face-saving!"
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Julius II shook his head and said to Marin:
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "You want the Brandenburg electorate to cede the area west of the Elbe, maybe it's nothing. After all, the land area of the Brandenburg electorate is already large (almost more than 30,000 square kilometers, including later Brandon Fortress, and Stendal and Salzwedel-Altemark counties affiliated with Saxony-Anhalt, with a total area of over 40,000 square kilometers), ceding the western part of the Elbe. The electorate of Saxony is different. You have to cede an area as large as the west part of the Elbe River in the electorate of Brandenburg, which is almost half the area of the electorate of Saxony. I think that even if Frederick electorate is dead, Not willing to cede so much land for you ... "
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "In addition, you let Denmark cede Jutland, which is nothing. The area of Jutland is equivalent to the appearance of two larger principalities. But the Kingdom of Norway is different. The area of this country is probably Half of Germany is big ... "
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "But this country is not conducive to agricultural production because of the colder climate in the north. Its population is only more than 200,000!" Marin retorted.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "I know, but those princes who don't learn and do not know how to do it may not be clear! In their eyes, you can definitely earn a lot of money in such a large Norwegian kingdom. But in fact, the benefits of the Norwegian kingdom are not as good as the day Delan Peninsula. "
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Julius II is comparatively erudite and has studied the geography of Europe. He knows that although the Jutland Peninsula is much smaller than the Kingdom of Norway (approximately more than 20,000 square kilometers), the climate is similar to that of northern Germany. It can engage in agriculture and is also suitable for animal husbandry. Its area is more than 200,000 square kilometers. The Kingdom of Norway (the Kingdom of Norway at this time does not include the northern part of the Arctic Circle nor the Svalbard. This refers to the homeland, but Iceland and the Faroe Islands belong to the Kingdom of Norway).
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Moreover, the Jutland Peninsula and the Principality of Schleswig, now under Marin control, are linked together, making it easy to rule. Unlike the Kingdom of Norway, some emperors are far away, and the local nobles are powerful and not easy to manage.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "You mean, let me give up the Kingdom of Norway?" Marin asked reluctantly.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Yes, that's what I mean. Marin, you are still young, and you will grow up in the future, there is no need to be king now. If you really grab the kingdom of Norway and get the crown, I dare to guarantee that you It will become the target of all people, and it will arouse the jealousy and resentment of most German princes. If someone instigates it again, you will easily face the anger of the whole of Germany. Moreover, the Kingdom of Norway is very poor and ca n’t grow food.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "But ... I really want to be a king ..." Marin said distressedly.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Don't think about it, benefit first, it doesn't matter if the virtual names are. What's more, if you want the virtual names, you may bring disaster to you!" Julius II comforted.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Well, then I don't want the Kingdom of Norway anymore. So, with regard to the cession of the electoral countries of Brandenburg and Saxony?"
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Cut half!" Julius II said firmly.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "For both countries, you only need to be equivalent to a county-sized site. However, you can integrate the land!"
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Integration? What do you mean?"
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "It means to put together the land ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ from the electorate of Brandenburg and the electorate of Saxony. This is also convenient for management."
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "How exactly do you do this?" Marin asked.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "The last place you want is the area of the Electoral River west of the Brandenburg Electorate which is equivalent to two counties. However, the land ceded to you by the Electorate of Saxony can be transferred to the Elector of Brandenburg country……"
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "It turns out so ..." Marin suddenly realized.
