The Danes failed to ask for help from France, but here in the Grand Duchy of Moscow, they got good news. Of course, the good news on the surface.
As early as last year, the current Grand Duke Ivan III was paralyzed in bed due to illness. So, now the regent is his son Prince Vasily, later Vassily III.
Vasily III, like Ivan III, was an ambitious Maozi chief. However, although Ivan III was ambitious, he was timid. When confronted with Ahe Mahan of the Golden Horde in 1480, he was frightened and fled back to Moscow.
Vassili III was also ambitious, but he was more emboldened and even more ruthless. Prince Vasily was the son of Ivan III and his wife, Sofia, the sister of Andrés Pariologos, the last emperor of Eastern Rome. Originally, Ivan III had an eldest son named Ivan Ivanovic with his ex-wife. Moreover, Ivan III originally intended to pass on to the eldest son. Unfortunately, Prince Ivan burped as early as 1490, leaving only a son named Dmitri.
Originally, the nobles of the Grand Duchy of Moscow supported the succession of King Dmitry Sun. However, in 1502, for unknown reasons, probably Dmitri was suspected of murdering Prince Vasily and was arrested by Ivan III. Then, just as Ivan III was paralyzed in bed, Prince Vasily was simply regent.
In fact, there are a lot of speculations about Dmitri ’s sudden arrest. Because Dmitri Wang Sun is a timid young man, he is unlikely to murder his uncle. Many people speculate that it may be because of personality problems that eventually Ivan III chose Prince Vassily to abandon Dmitri's grandson.
Ivan III was an ambitious monarch who wanted to see the continuous growth of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. The honest and timid Demetrius is well-guarded and inadequate. In addition, Dmitri was controlled by his mother, so the eldest princess Elena, made Ivan III quite unhappy.
Moreover, his wife Sofia and Prince Vasily could not stop lobbying Ivan III, saying that if Prince Vasily inherited the position of the Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, because he had the blood of the Eastern Roman royal family, and the Eastern Roman Empire had been destroyed, Prince Vassily completely This can be used as an excuse to declare that the Grand Duchy of Moscow inherited the Eastern Roman Empire.
As for Sofia ’s brother Andres Pariologs, who cares about selling the throne to Maximilian I? As long as the Grand Duchy of Moscow does not recognize it at that time ...
Not only that, although Prince Vasily had launched a rebellion, it was only for the purpose of snatching the crown prince's position with Dmitri's grandson. This also proves that Prince Vasily is a man who dares to act. Unlike Dmitri ’s grandson and grandson, some were too honest and timid, and easily become a puppet by the big nobles.
Therefore, after repeated ideological struggles, Ivan III finally chose Prince Vasily to regent and replace Dmitry as the crown prince.
In fact, whether it is Prince Vasily or Dmitri ’s grandson, they are neither old nor small. Prince Vasily was born in 1479, and Dmitri's grandson was born in 1483. Today, Prince Vasily is 24 years old, and Dmitri ’s grandson is 20 years old.
Although only one year younger than Marin, Prince Vasily's ambitions are no less than Marin. What's more, the Grand Duchy of Moscow that he will inherit is much stronger than the East Frisian Lambert. The East Frisian Lambert State of Marin has only 3,300 square kilometers and a population of 150,000 (excluding the army). The Grand Duchy of Moscow now has two or three million square kilometers of land and millions of people. Although, because most of the land area is too north, it is not suitable for people to live. But the land in some parts of the south alone is enough to compare Marin in the comparison. Therefore, people are also qualified to be crazy ...
In addition to the powerful Crimean Khanate in the south and the Lithuanian and Polish alliances in the west that are not easy to mess with, other directions are in the plot of Prince Vasily.
For the country of Denmark, Prince Vasily also studied. It turns out-Denmark is a sea hegemony, a weak chicken on land ...
Although Denmark ’s territory is moved, it may be blocked at sea, but what about that? The Grand Duchy of Moscow has no maritime interests at all, it is purely a dry duck country. It's just that the prestige taken in the Danish Kalmar Union was not daring to act rashly.
But nowadays, Danes take the initiative to come to the door and want to attack Finland on their own, and they also arbitrarily grabbed ... Prince Vasily was tempted at once ...
What happened to Ivan III who was paralyzed in bed, Ivan III was also a little tempted. Not only Ivan III was moved, but the nobles of the Grand Duchy of Moscow were also moved.
Because, in the eyes of the nobles of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, Sweden, as an emerging country, although a bit powerful, is definitely not comparable to the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Nowadays, it's just a fight against Sweden in the rebellion with the Danes. It should be no difficulty.
It's just that the Maos who were blocked by the news didn't know that the Danes are already insecure at this time ~ www.novelhall.com ~ The local people have to be invaded. Because the Maozi are in the easternmost part of Europe and are not within the sphere of influence of the Catholic Church, the information is a bit blocked and I do n’t know the development of war on the Jutland Peninsula.
Therefore, the Maozi nobles unanimously decided to send 20,000 troops to and from Finland. Then, looting in Finland ...
These murderous arsonists, these Maozi nobles, are very keen. Probably because of the influence of the original suzerain, the Golden Horde, the Maozi army has always had the style of burning and looting. Later, Cossacks took this brutal style to the extreme.
When I heard that Denmark and Sweden could not hold on to each other, they entered the Finnish region and robbed a lot of money.
The regent Prince Vasily chose several nobles who had the closest relationship with him, and asked them to recruit 20,000 troops from the country and prepare to go to Finland to plunder. As for the supply, Prince Vasily didn't even consider it. At that time, just let them "eat anywhere". The so-called "food anywhere" means to **** the local people's property and food as supplies. However, for those people who were robbed, it was very unlucky. Grain was robbed, and property was robbed. It was hard to have hope for survival ...
But what does that have to do with Maozi? They only know that they are rich enough. As for the life and death of the Finnish people, they are not within their consideration.
In fact, the ambitious Prince Vasily was not just thinking about grabbing one. Even the ambitious Prince Vasily intended to hack out part of Finland after the war. At the very least, the territory of the Baltic Sea near the Grand Duchy of Moscow should be swallowed. By then, the Grand Duchy of Moscow is no longer a dry duck country. Maybe, you can also engage in maritime trade, do some business and make some money ...
