Chapter 862: Reach an agreement
"However, if the southern Sweden and Faylun copper mines are given to Denmark, what are we left?" Eric Johansson said angrily.
"That's it ..." Marin said after pretending to think for a while:
"Then the Fa Yilun Copper Mine was given to Sweden .... There is such a large copper-rich mine like Fa Yilun Copper Mine. I believe that the finances of the Kingdom of Sweden will be enviable ..."
Marin is not false. After all, copper prices in Europe are so expensive, and the Falun Copper Mine is a super rich mine, which can provide a large amount of stable taxation for the Kingdom of Sweden every year. And this is the envy of most European monarchs. Because the financial situation of most monarchs in Europe is very bad. Agriculture alone has no money.
"But ... half of your shares ..." Eric Johansson means-you always own half of the shares, and we still make a P?
If the Fa Yilun Copper Mine produces 100 tons of copper annually, it would be worth 156,000 gold coins. Excluding the cost of mining and smelting, it makes a profit of seven or eighty thousand coins. Even if the output is tripled, it will be a profit of 200,000 gold coins. If half of them were taken away by Marin, and there are many families in Sweden to divide up, there are not many who fell into the hands of the Swedish court ...
Marin also has the intention to support Sweden to contain Denmark, so after a little thinking, he made some concessions:
"Well, my share of Fa Yilun Copper Mine has been reduced from half to one-third. In this way, Sweden has enough taxes to maintain it."
In doing so, Marin not only supported Sweden against Denmark so that he could balance, but also that Marin had a retreat and could not rely on Swedish copper-after all, Japan, which Marin was planning, was a big copper producer.
Historically, in the 17th century, the Dutch shipped cheap Japanese copper to Europe, which severely suppressed the price of Swedish copper, causing Sweden to suffer heavy losses.
Not to mention the copper in Japan, Chile, which Marin is about to develop, the copper mine there is even more amazing ...
Therefore, for Marlin to give up part of the interests in the Fayilun Copper Mine, Marin is really nothing. Moreover, he does not really need this one-third of the shares of Fa Yilun Copper Mine. The reason why he insists on these shares is actually that he is worried that the Kingdom of Sweden is too profitable and will affect the balance between Denmark and Denmark.
Don't look at the fact that Sweden has obtained two-thirds of the shares of Fayilun Copper Mine, but it eventually fell into the hands of the royal Vaasa family, and it would be good to have 20% of the income. After all, in addition to the Vaasa family, there are 10 larger aristocratic families in Sweden, and they also formed a noble senate that can compete with the king ...
Therefore, Marin has no worries that the Fa Yilun Copper Mine will feed the Swedes. after all. Most of the proceeds from the copper mine must first be used to feed the major families in Sweden. Even the part that belongs to the Vaasa family, it must be provided to the Vaasa family members to squander, and the rest can be used for Swedish official expenditure and military expenditure.
...
After learning that he could keep the Fayilun copper mine, Eric John was relieved. Moreover, Marin's willingness to take the initiative to reduce shares also gave him a step down. After all, on the surface, Sweden has taken advantage of the negotiations ...
Next, there is the biggest difference between Denmark and Sweden ...
...
The Swedes also understood that this time the Danes sent a large army to occupy southern Sweden and surrounded Stockholm, obviously with great ambitions.
Before coming out for negotiations this time, the aristocratic elders also gave the bottom line-be sure to win independent sovereignty and keep the Fa Yilun copper mine ... Finally, the land is ceded as little as possible
After all, everyone knows that it is impossible to cede the land this time. The Danish army did not come to Sweden for tourism. They came to grab land ...
...
So, next, the Danish King Hans and the Swedish King Eric Johansson started a protracted quarrel over the new border issue ...
The Swedish side believes that the Danes can occupy the southernmost coastal area of Sweden, as well as the southwestern coastal area. But that is all. As for the inland area where the coastline in the south is too far away, don't pretend ...
But the attitude of the Danish King Hans is very determined-the border is divided on the current front. That is to say, the Swedish area south of Stockholm is allocated to Denmark ...
Sweden is only willing to give the southernmost coastal area, while Denmark wants all areas south of Stockholm. Therefore, the differences between the two countries are naturally huge.
Then, the two old and new kings had a fierce language conflict, and they almost performed the whole martial arts. Fortunately, Lübeck was well prepared and did not let the two fight.
In the end, Denmark gave out cruel words-some kind of letting the Swedish army defeat us ... Then, Eric Johansson ran to tears-to defeat you, I still have to mediate?
...
In the following time, Marin rarely participated and often watched the show silently. But the host speaker, Tagfaht, could not, so he began to persuade both sides to give in ...
"Sweden will never accept the Danish motion. If Stockholm is the national border, then the capital of our Kingdom of Sweden will always be threatened by the Danish army on the border. Therefore, don't think about the conditions of the Danes! So It's better to follow the Swedish plan! "Eric John growled angrily.
"According to the Swedish plan? When did the Swedes have the confidence to decide all this? Do you have a strong army to suppress Denmark, or a strong ally to help you speak? Obviously, you have nothing!" The King of Denmark said excitedly.
"If it was not Grand Duke Marin and the two distinguished Speakers who were willing to intervene, do you think Sweden has any chance? As long as you are besieging Stockholm for a few months, you local Swedish nobles will starve to death in the city. ? Frankly speaking, I have suffered a great deal in this negotiation! If I don't negotiate, I can sit and wait for you **** to starve to death, and then the whole of Sweden returns to my hands! "Hans said excitedly.
In fact, King Hans was right. If it wasn't for Marin to draw a line for him to allow him to continue north, he might have captured Stockholm at any cost and then annexed the Kingdom of Sweden (including Finland).
Therefore, in this negotiation, Hans was actually very wronged-obviously I was very strong, and I could completely kill the other party, but in the end, I had to engage in negotiations with the enemy. The opportunity to negotiate, King Hans vented his emotions come out……
When Hans shouted out his inner dissatisfaction, Eric Johansson was suddenly shocked-yeah, now the dominant one is Denmark ... And, it seems that the North Sea, Lübeck and Hamburg are not partial. Sweden……
But Eric Johansson did not have the final decision. After all, he was not an arbitrary monarch, and he needed to discuss with the Senate ...
So, Eric Johansson needed to discuss with the elders on the pretext that he sent the Clippers back to the country and asked the elders how to divide the border ...
After all, it's better for everyone to bear the blame for this kind of sale of land. If you take your own back, you will surely become a scapegoat. By the time……
A few days later, a reply came from Stockholm-the bottom line of the Senate is that the border must be moved south to North Sweden, an important port city in Sweden.
In the future, it is better to start from North Köpping City in the east (the city belongs to Sweden), and to the west are Lake Vättern and Lake Vänern. Both sides are divided into two large lakes, the south belongs to Denmark, and the north belongs to Sweden ...
As a result, the border line moved 170 kilometers south from the south of Stockholm, which Denmark claims. Moreover, the western half moves further south.
The Danes are certainly not happy, because as soon as this border line moves south, Denmark has lost almost 10,000 square kilometers of land. Moreover, the bustling port cities like Beikoping were also lost.
However, the Swedes were willing to take out Gotland, which was previously recovered from the Danes, as compensation for the southward movement of the border, which immediately moved Denmark ...
After all, the inland area of more than 10,000 square kilometers that the two sides competed for was in fact rugged terrain, relatively cold, and of low value. The real value is in several important towns such as North Köping Port.
Unlike Gotland, Gotland is a pearl on the Baltic Sea. Among them, Visby, a port city on Gotland, is one of the most important Hanse port cities on the Baltic Sea. It is located in the center of the Baltic Sea and is an important transit point for Baltic trade. It can receive a lot of tax ...
In addition, Lübeck and Hamburg, which have been authorized by Denmark to obtain transport rights to all ports in Denmark, also strongly recommend that Denmark take Gotland. After all, Denmark has now given up its sea power and won Visby, which is equivalent to sending Visby ’s shipping operations to Lübeck and Hamburg. To this end, the two cities also put pressure on Denmark to allow them to agree to this condition ...
Finally, as compensation for the Danish army ’s dispatch, Sweden agreed to pay Denmark 400,000 gold in war costs. Of course, Sweden does not have to pay cash ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Denmark decided to send troops to continue to occupy the Faylun copper mine and take away two-thirds of the proceeds belonging to Sweden, until the value of 400,000 gold coins is enough ...
...
In this way, Denmark and Sweden finally reached a package of land for sovereignty agreement. At this time, Sweden is helpless and can only accept these conditions. Of course, at the same time they paid these prices, they finally succeeded in gaining the sovereignty they dreamed of-recognized by all of Europe ...
Since the bitter master of the Danish King Hans has recognized Sweden's independence (Hans: I was forced, Marin forced me), then there is no need for others to continue not to admit it. As for the Holy See, Marin promised to help Sweden clarify, so that the Holy See also recognizes the sovereign state of the Kingdom of Sweden.
In addition, the Beihai State, Lübeck and Hamburg also signed the peace agreement, stating that the three will oversee the peace process of the two countries, and if necessary, use force to urge the two parties to comply with the treaty ... so, this is also given to the three An excuse to balance the strength of both sides.
Moreover, the Danish side also kept its promise and gave them the Malmö and Helsingborg occupied by Lübeck and Hamburg. In this way, everyone except Sweden is happy, after all, I have what I want (maybe Denmark wants more) ...
