Chapter 226： Vote to win

The hammering of Archbishop Mainz hindered the time and space of the scene, but also extinguished everyone's dissatisfaction with the Danish King Hans. Taking this opportunity, Frederick III began to think quickly about the countermeasures.

He knew that his response was a bit wrong. So Frederick III took the opportunity to drink a few sips of water. At the same time, the brain is spinning rapidly, thinking about countermeasures.

Although he did not understand the debating skills of later generations, Frederick III was very experienced. He knew that if he was still entangled in this issue, he would definitely prevail. Because, it is obvious that this problem is a major weakness of King Hans. Continuing to get entangled in this issue, he will inevitably debate Marin. Therefore, he must change the subject before he can get rid of the disadvantages in front of him.

After thinking for a while, Frederick III raised his head and looked at Malin Dao:

"Count Marin, what do you think of imperial law?"

"Imperial law?" Marin was puzzled. Isn't it talking about the arrogance of Danish King Hans? How did you jump to the imperial law at once?

Soon, Marin reacted-no good, this guy has to change the topic, avoiding the topic that was unfavorable to him ... Special meow, it seems to be a person who is good at debating ...

However, Marin has no choice. After all, Frederick III is an elected emperor, and his status is much more noble than him. Frederick III wanted to change the subject, and he was not qualified to object ... So, Marin had to say:

"Imperial laws are very good, I also obey the law ..."

"Poof—" Chochim I, the Brandenburg elector who was drinking water, sprayed. Fortunately, the podium was a distance away from the auditorium below and did not spray on others.

"Ahahaha, Earl Marin, you said you are obeying the law ... this ... you don't tease me, okay?" Joakim I laughed.

Marin's head black line:

"Where am I not abiding by the law? I respect His Majesty the Emperor and actively participate in meetings organized by the Empire. Is there a problem?"

"You have taken over the Principality of Schleswig, which was originally a Principality of others, and you can still be law-abiding?" Finally, he can pull back a game.

"I ..." Marin was really asked.

However, Marin is not the master of easy defeat. After looking down for a while, he looked up and asked Frederick III with a smile:

"Excuse me, Frederick, which article of the empire's law says" I am not allowed to take Marin to occupy Schleswig "?"

Frederick III was stunned for a moment-Nima, I really didn't write this article in law ... But you are too shameless to say so ...

"Do I need to write this? It is illegal to seize the territory of another country!" The young impulsive Joakim jumped out again.

Marin was happy now-Nima, your Hohenzollern family also likes to expand, and you actually jumped out. Exactly, I have something to say. Marin still knows the history of the princely state of Brandenburg. You should know that the Brandenburg electorate is the basis of later Germany, and there are more historical data.

"Oh, Lord Joakim, but I heard that your great-grandfather, Lord Frederick I, was not the elector of Brandenburg ..."

"But my great-grandfather's election to the seat of the emperor was received by His Holiness the Emperor Sigismund, the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.

"Do n’t be angry, Lord Joakim, I did n’t say that the position of Elder Frederick I was not legal. I just wanted to say that-His Majesty Frederick I also tried to occupy the Principality of Pomerania It also aroused the anger of His Majesty Sigismund. Do you think that your great-grandfather, Lord Frederick I, broke the law? "

Joakim I stopped choking, and didn't know what to say. Malin talked about his great-grandfather, and it did happen, so that Joakim I didn't know what to answer.

Elder Frederick III of Saxony took a look and immediately came out to help the siege:

"Sir Frederick I did not succeed, so he did not break the rules."

"That was an attempted crime ..."

"You ..." Joakim I furiously wanted to fight Marin, but he was caught by everyone.

"Count Marin, think about it. If the German princes, like you, would send troops to occupy other people's territory and seize the title of others, wouldn't it be messy? If you count Marlin Should my title of Elector of Saxony also send troops to seize it by force? "The cunning Frederick III made a hypothesis that hated Malinra. Suddenly, many princes looked at Marin's eyes a little wrong-yeah, if Marlin fell in love with my knighthood and territory, would they send troops to **** ...

The situation seemed to be very detrimental to Marin. Many nobles were inspired by the words of Frederick III and were somewhat dissatisfied with Marin's behavior.

However, Marin has already prepared for this. So, he took out the unequal treaty document signed by Denmark and Oldenburg under the persecution of the Yevre region to Oldenburg, and showed it to everyone:

"I did n’t use force against Denmark for no reason, and Marin was n’t the kind of bloodthirsty and belligerent person. It ’s true that Denmark is too bully. Please see-this is the year before the Oldenburg of Denmark With the support, I was forced to cede the documents given to the Old Kingdom of Oldenburg by the Jever region. This is a strong proof that I was not provoking first ... "

"Then how can you prove that the Old Kingdom of Oldenburg is intimidating you with the help of Denmark?" Frederick III knew that this document completely saved the Old Kingdom of Oldenburg. To seize other people's territory requires psychological preparation for being "anti-killed." However, Marin said that Denmark supports Oldenburg. Although everyone knows clearly, it needs evidence ...

"Haha, Lord Frederick, this document was not unilaterally signed by the Old Kingdom of Oldenburg and me. It is signed by the Danish Foreign Minister Holson on behalf of the Kingdom of Denmark. The evidence is as strong as a mountain!"

At the beginning, when Marin recognized the counsel, he had expected it a bit and proposed to let Denmark sign it. The Danes did not doubt him, or that Denmark looked down on Marin. So, Holson boldly signed the unequal treaty, together with the signature of the Old Kingdom of Oldenburg ...

But now, it has become the reason for Marin's counterattack-if you Denmark can help the Oldenburg State to force me to cede the territory, you must prepare yourself to be ceded ...

At this point, wit like Frederick III could not be said. Black on white paper is more convincing than any words. And this is also Marin's killer ...

Seeing that the debate was meaningless, Frederick III said weakly:

"Then vote for it ..."

Archbishop Berthold of Mainz knew that Marin had attracted a lot of people ~ www.novelhall.com ~ knew the result. So he agreed to start voting directly.

Then, in the eyes of everyone's surprise, the number of people who voted for Marin to become the Duke of Schleswig and merged the Principality of Schleswig into the Holy Roman Empire was much larger than Frederick III and Joachim I thought ...

In particular, the two electors were surprised-three religious electors and a total of 120 other religious princes, most of them voted for Marin ... Before, Frederick III and Joakim I thought that the three The religious electorate will definitely disagree. So, as clever as Frederick III was also at a loss ...

Then, in the disappointed eyes of Frederick III and Joachim I, Marin, with a high vote of 260 votes, exceeded the legally required 248 votes, and was successfully recognized as the Duke of Schleswig by the Imperial Parliament. In addition, the Principality of Schleswig joined the Imperial Court, and in the future, Marin will become the Imperial Prince with two votes ...
