Chapter 58: The decision of the King of Denmark

Denmark, the Royal Palace of Copenhagen, the Danish King Hans is listening to his men ...

"Your Majesty, today I heard a rumor spread among the people ..."

"Rumor? What rumor?" Hans frowned. He was very irritable recently. The Swedish rebels could not be attacked for a long time, causing Denmark to spend a lot of money and food to suppress the rebellion. Moreover, the mobilization of a large number of warships to block the Swedish coast was also very expensive. The huge cost made Hans overwhelmed. Therefore, recently, he intends to recall more than half of the warships to transport food. Because, the autumn harvest is coming ...

Information Officer Pilsen continued to kneel on one knee and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, there have been recent rumors that your cousin was madly killed by the defeated Baron Edouard of Evre in the civil war between Marin, Earl of Friesland and Baron Jever, but your cousin Lord John V, Earl of Oldenburg, deliberately bitten that the Earl of Friesland was killed to blackmail East Friesland ... "

"Humph--" King Hans was a little angry, and at the same time, his eyes were awkward. Because, it really reveals the facts ...

"and also……"

"Is there?" King Hans' face could not be hung.

"Yes, Earl East Friesland once sent a messenger to Lord John V, Earl of Oldenburg ..."

"Say what?" King Hans asked coldly.

"Say ... Denmark is stuck in the battlefield of Sweden, and it has not been possible for a few years ... Let Lord John V don't expect Denmark to support them ..." This sentence is not a folk rumor, but the Marin messenger really treats John V. I said that the Danish officials in Oldenburg sent the news back ...

"Fuck! My Danish army is desperate. Where do I need to use it for a few years? At most one year ... Well, next year we can almost suppress the rebellion of Sweden ..." When it came to speaking, King Hans also lacked confidence ...

……

A few days later, the letter from John V, Earl of Oldenburg also arrived. John V cried to his cousin John, saying that Marin did not take the powerful Kalmar Union into his eyes, and despised the Oldenburg family ... and then Barbara had a whole lot. In short, Marlin despised Denmark ...

Although I have known the news for a long time, when I saw the letter, King Hans of Denmark was still furious:

"Damn, did you dare to do something against the powerful Kalmar League with a little strength? I will let you know what it means to regret it!"

The angry King Hans called in several confidant ministers to discuss countermeasures. Because the spread of rumors is very unfavorable to Hans' plan.

Minister of Finance Dawson said:

"Your Majesty, the minister feels that this rumor is probably the message deliberately released by Marin, Earl of East Friesland. Its purpose is about forcing your Majesty to scrupulously disregard his speech and eventually give up the original plan.

"Hmm-how can my plan change because of the rumor? And, I want to punish him more!" King Hans was annoyed and angry. Because his dark thoughts were seen through.

"Your Majesty, I thought that since the other party saw through our thoughts, we might as well start early to avoid long nights ..." Navy Secretary Thomasson suggested.

"What do you mean?" King Hans seemed to catch ...

"Your Majesty, aren't you going to bring back 100 warships to transport food during the autumn harvest? He thought that it would be better to transfer these 100 warships to surround Emden port. Denmark needs to transport food and vigorously develop the trade Rislan must also transport food. We might as well, while we are now, blocking 100 warships outside the port of Emden and putting pressure on the East Frisian Lambert. If we disagree, burn all his Merchant Marine ... "

"Yes, we have to send a large army to surround Aurich and capture the boy from Marin!" Army Secretary Simonson was not reconciled to the Navy Secretary, but also had to show a sense of presence.

"Simonson, your army is now in Sweden, what do you use to surround Aurich? And, East Frisian Lambert has 10,000 troops, and the combat effectiveness is very strong ..." Thomason looked at his old opponent with contempt. Simonson said.

"But ... if the army is not dispatched, will the boy succumb?"

"It should be possible. I heard that the kid's finances depend heavily on foreign trade ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Emden has dozens of merchant ships going in and out every day. If he surrounds Emden port and threatens to burn all his merchant ships , Do not believe that he will not yield ... "

"However, we not only asked him to pay compensation, but also he ceded such a large Yevre, is he willing?" Simonson retorted.

"Isn't he without Yevre before? Not coming as usual? Besides, is finance important or Yevre that hasn't been controlled before? Without his foreign trade business, his finances will collapse. By then, he What can we do to support the 10,000 army? Without our army, his 10,000 army would be disbanded because of no salary! "Thomason said firmly.

"Good talk!" Hans appreciated Thomasson's words. If it was financially difficult, even the King of Denmark would not be able to raise 10,000 troops, not to mention Marin, the earl of the little East Frisian nation. Therefore, as long as Emden is besieged, the opponent will have to succumb.

Then, several other ministers also expressed their support for this idea ... In fact, the king was applauded, what other people can say?

Just like this, the Danish King Hans ordered after the meeting-from the 200 warships that blocked the Swedish coast, mobilize 100 ships to surround Emden port and put pressure on Marin. At that time, Marin was forced to cede Jevre to the Old Kingdom of Oldenburg. At the same time, compensation for the cost of the Danish King's 100,000 gold coins, to cover the cost of the Danish navy's dispatch ...

100,000 gold coins, in this era, it is definitely a lion's mouth. At that time, King Richard I was captured by Emperor Shen VI, King Shenra, but only for a ransom of 100,000 pounds. And in the old country of Oldenburg, a little princess died, not only to cede 500 square kilometers of land in East Friesland, but also to pay 100,000 gold coins for compensation.
