Chapter 60: Everyone makes excuses together

After signing the inequality treaty, Marin issued an order with "face full of grief and anger", ordering the two thousand soldiers and horses originally stationed in the Jever region to clean up, withdraw from Jever, and give Jever to Oldenburg Beguo.

It was just that before leaving, Marin deliberately let his soldiers go and evacuated Jever's goodies, as if he would not come back in the future. In this regard, the Oldenburg State came to receive the army of the territory and reacted back to this matter. But John V, Earl of Oldenburg, didn't care much. Because this is a normal reaction. If Marin ordered Qiu to commit no crime when he let his men withdraw from Jever, it would attract attention. Because, this land is no longer yours, and Qiuqiu is not guilty. Is he still expecting to fight back in the future?

Therefore, Marin's laissez-faire looting of local property is the most normal response. Although a pity, John V didn't care. Because, with such a large territory, the business is well managed, what is the property that was robbed?

Lübeck and Hamburg were very happy after receiving Marin's letter. Marin and the Danes fell out, so there was no need to find an excuse to send troops. And the two Hanseatic cities are currently contemplating what excuse to send troops ...

Before, the two plans were to use Denmark as an excuse to raise the crossing tax in the Øresund Strait to declare war on Denmark. However, this excuse is somewhat far-fetched. Because, in the final analysis, raising taxes in Denmark is a trade dispute, and it is not going to cause war.

Today, the excuse sent by Marin is quite good. His ship was burned by the Danish navy, it was definitely a malicious provocation ...

Of course, the merchant ship was burned, but in fact it was not enough to go to war. However, putting the two excuses together is barely enough ...

After receiving Marin's suggestion, the two Hanseatic cities sent representatives to strongly protest the Danish navy's burning of two merchant ships, and asked the Danish King Hans to apologize.

Moreover, after deliberation, representatives of Lübeck and Hamburg came up with an excuse for lack of virtue. They said that their merchant ship was filled with spices such as pepper ...

Marin once sent a ship to India to buy back a lot of spices. The Hanseatic League knows it, and Denmark knows it. Even, Marin had spice wholesale in Emden, in order to attract merchants to trade. Therefore, it is logical that Lubeck and Hamburg merchant ships came to Emden to buy spices.

However, the value of the burnt merchant ship is loaded with spices. Two cities claimed that their burnt-out ships were loaded with spices worth more than 30,000 gold coins. Therefore, Denmark needs to compensate for the loss ...

This kind of cruelty and extortion, the arrogant Danes naturally refused to ignore it and directly refused ...

Although rejected, Lübeck and Hamburg were stealing music privately ...

The representatives of these two magical movements were rewarded and promoted when they returned. After all, a ship burned out and a commercial ship filled with spices are completely different concepts. The value of the goods of more than 30,000 gold coins cannot be compensated by some poor counts. Denmark is also costly because of its suppression of Sweden. Where would it be willing to pay so much money to two Hanseatic cities?

This way, it will give the two cities more excuses ...

Merchant ships passing the Øresund Strait were charged an "protection fee" as an excuse. Nowadays it is a very good excuse to burn off the spice of the ship. It's not surprising that the two excuses added up to wage war.

Know that in the early Middle Ages, because productivity was extremely underground, two lords could fight for a box of bees. Although it is now in the 16th century, it is not shameful to draw a knife for a little honey. However, working for a boat of spices is not uncommon.

After hearing the excuses made by the representatives of the two cities, Marin wanted to give them a thumbs up. In fact, it is so beautiful! Even more beautiful is that the arrogant Danish King Hans really refused the two cities' request for compensation for the two ships of spices. It is no wonder that the two cities have waged war ...

Marin now really wants to go to Lübeck, sit down with the representatives of Lübeck, Hamburg and Sweden, hold talks and discuss the dispatch of troops.

However, before that, everyone still needs to do one thing-that is, need assistance to Sweden ...

Because the autumn harvest has already begun, after the mobilization of the fleet to encircle Emden, Denmark, the 100 warships did not return to the Swedish coast to continue to participate in the blockade, but went to the mainland of Denmark, the Principality of Holstein and the Principality of Schleswig Go to transport food.

Denmark is a country with many islands, except for Jutland Island and the two principalities, most of the exchanges between other regions need to be shipped. Even, its capital, Copenhagen, is located on Zealand, not on the mainland. The grain output on Zealand is obviously not enough to maintain. Therefore, Copenhagen needs to mobilize food from other regions.

Even Denmark needs a lot of ships to transport food to southern Sweden to supply the army. Since Sweden declared independence, the Danish army has invaded southern Sweden and occupied many places. These places, because of the war, have caused agricultural production to halt, and they also need food. Therefore, the task of grain transportation during the autumn harvest is very heavy.

In this way, the fleet blockade on the Swedish coast will be much weaker than usual. During this period, it is also the best time to support Sweden by sea.

Therefore, Marin also sent two merchant ships, loaded with food and weapon armor, to the Swedish coast to support Sweden. With enough food and weapon armor, the Swedes can hold on for a longer period of time, and can also cause greater damage to the Danes.

Lübeck and Hamburg also intend to take advantage of the opportunity to provide financial and material support to Sweden. Only when Sweden dragged down a large number of Danish troops, and the other three of them joined forces and stabbed in the back, could they have greater confidence ...

Moreover, during this period, Marin ’s East Frisian Lamb itself also had to conduct an autumn harvest to harvest wheat on the ground. Only after the autumn harvest will there be time to free up and fight against Denmark ...

For this reason ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Marin drove all the young and powerful laborers to the ground, grabbed the grain together, and tried to get the grain into the warehouse as soon as possible. Even most of the soldiers in the company need to take turns to help the serfs to harvest food in order to increase the longitude of the autumn harvest.

Seeing that the big guys in the field were bending over and strenuously harvesting with a sickle, Marin was helpless. The efficiency of manual harvesting is too slow, and a skilled person can only harvest two acres a day. Therefore, everyone can only use human resources to pile up and harvest together. Not only is it slow, but it is also prone to low back pain. Marin wanted to get a harvester instead of manpower, so people didn't have to work so hard.

However, the harvester is too complicated. He can't figure it out just by the internal combustion engine. Drawing a drawing of a steam engine is no problem, and the principle is simple, but the internal combustion engine is more complicated. It's not that Marin hasn't learned the schematic diagram of the internal combustion engine, but that there are some things in it that he can't really figure out ...

For example, it is easy for modern people to buy a spark plug in a machine, but in ancient times, they could n’t figure out how to get it ... that kind of alloy spark plug, which could not be killed by Marin ... and rubber oil delivery The hose and the rubber belt of the transmission ... Neither can Marin get it anyway ... Even if it is a stupid crude benzene steam engine, Marin only knows the principle and wants to make it. They have to rely on Ada to help ...

Therefore, no matter whether it is planting or harvesting, it can only rely on manpower, which takes a long time and is inefficient ... In order to speed up, Marin even sent most of the 10,000 troops to the ground to help the serfs ...

Most of these young men who work as mercenaries are also born in rural areas and are no strangers to farm work. After all, this is an agricultural society. Most people live in the countryside, so they are naturally familiar with farming. The boys worked on the ground without any discomfort ...
