Chapter 486： Your majesty, go to Switzerland!

Although the popularity of the Danish people has plummeted, this is Copenhagen, the last bastion of the Danes. With the exception of Copenhagen, they have nowhere to retreat. Therefore, Marin did not expect the other party to surrender immediately. After all, the other party has a tall and solid wall as a relying on.

However, when the opponent's food is exhausted, the morale problem will be highlighted. Now that the Danes haven't reached the end of the mountains and waters, even if the morale is low, it may not be so good. But when they run out of food, coupled with the low morale, the soldiers are unwilling to fight, it will be fatal.

Therefore, Marin did not expect the other party to collapse and surrender now. Moreover, the other party cannot break through. Why? Because even if the opponent breaks out, there is no way to escape. On land, Zealand has only more than 7,000 square kilometers and nowhere to hide. What's more, Sealand is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and the power to control the sea is in the hands of the enemy. Therefore, even if the Danish army broke through, they did not escape. Even if Marin wanted to use the "three-in-one" tactics, there was nowhere to go. Because the other party has nowhere to escape ...

Therefore, Marin chose to wait quietly, waiting for the other party to have no food, waiting for the other party to collapse ...

However, just waiting so stupidly is not a way, you have to find something else to do. Even if the other party runs out of food, it will take a month or two ...

At this moment, Marin suddenly remembered that although he had captured 18,000 Swiss mercenaries and escorted them to dig the canal, it seemed that Maximilian I had not been notified ...

Marin had planned before, taking advantage of the current lack of troops in Switzerland, and encouraging Maximilian I to quickly send troops to occupy the entire Switzerland, so as to eliminate the Protestant branch of the "Revenue Killing King" professional family born "Calvinism".

The Swiss struggled with the emperor a lot, so it was only during the Reformation that the radical sect of the Protestant profession, such as the Calvinism, who opposed the emperor and the king, eventually affected Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and France. Participated in cutting off the heads of the two kings.

As a hereditary nobleman, Marin naturally hated Calvinism. Therefore, even if Marin does not see the poor mountains and waters of Switzerland, he does not want to see the Swiss continue to self-government and continue to hate the emperor ...

Moreover, the Swiss are not so easy to deal with. As the saying goes, "The poor mountains and bad waters are out of the crowd." Before the rise of the Swiss watch industry, Switzerland was basically a mountainous area with poor mountains and bad waters. The folk customs were strong and the people were good at cutting people ...

Such a place, even if the area is not small, don't give it to Marin. Because, even if Switzerland is beaten down, it will cause headaches to the people's resistance in the future. After all, there are too many mobs with combat skills. Moreover, the mountains are the most suitable for guerrillas. If these Swiss mountain people are proficient in the guerrilla tactics of the grandfather, no matter which ruler will be helpless.

Marin is not rare in Switzerland, but the Habsburg family is rare ...

Because Switzerland is the land of the Habsburg family's dragon and the ancestral territory. However, during the Luxembourg dynasty, the Habsburg family was forced to abandon the ancestral land of Switzerland under the oppression of the then emperor Sigismund. Then, Sigismund also incited the Swiss to hate the Habsburg family, violently rebelled against the Habsburg family's rule, and annexed the Habsburg family's land in Switzerland.

In the end, the Habsburg family's land in Switzerland was completely lost. This also resulted in the hostility between the Habsburg family and the Swiss alliance.

For the European medieval nobles who paid attention to glory and tradition, the birthplace of the Habsburg family-Eagle Fort in Aargau, is definitely a holy place in the hearts of Habsburg family members.

However, the Swiss mountain people are too aggressive. Moreover, the plate armoured knights can not be displayed in the Swiss mountains, not as good as the Swiss infantry. Therefore, the Habsburg family has not been able to recover the land of their ancestors.

After all, the mountainous terrain of Switzerland, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, is also more suitable for infantry.

However, a great opportunity is now in front of the Habsburg family-the main force of the Swiss mercenaries is 18,000, and he was handcuffed by Marin as a coolie to dig the canal. Moreover, there are only a few thousand other Swiss mercenaries in the Principality of Geddes and thousands in France. As for the Swiss mainland, there are basically no veteran Swiss mercenaries.

At this time, Switzerland did not have enough troops to resist if it took the opportunity to send troops to Switzerland. For the Habsburg family, this is definitely great news ...

So, taking advantage of nothing, Marin wrote a letter to Maximilian I:

"Your Majesty the Emperor, your servant Marin expresses sincere greetings to you ..."

"In the battle of Lübeck west, I surrounded 18,000 Swiss mercenaries. In the end, we reached an agreement-I agreed that the Swiss did not have to pay a ransom, but they had to dig a canal near Münster for me . "

"It takes about a few months. During this time, the Swiss soil is empty. Your majesty holds the army, why not take the opportunity to retake the ancestors' territory? Especially Hawks in Aargau, that's Habse The birthplace of the Fort family ... "

"As for these 18,000 Swiss mercenaries, they will not be able to go back in the future. Although I promised them, they would not ask them for the ransom, and after digging the canal, they let them go. When I cast them away, I could take the opportunity to ambush them on their way back, and I was able to defeat them. After all, I could not let them leave with weapons. Ten thousand troops ambushed 18,000 unarmed Swiss, I think it should be It ’s a win ... "

...

In this letter, Marin not only suggested that Maximilian I took advantage of the vacancy of the Swiss domestic forces to occupy Switzerland and recapture the ancestral eagle fort in the Aargau, but also counted those captured Swiss mercenaries.

Yes, Marin has indeed vowed not to embarrass these surrendering Swiss mercenaries. However, it is not said that after leaving Marin's transit, others are not allowed to deal with them ...

In short, after the canal was dug, Marin could "send out" the Swiss mercenaries. But after leaving Marin's border, the Habsburg family's army attacked these unarmed Swiss mercenaries, then Marin could not manage ...

Even if the Swiss mercenaries are powerful, they are still equipped with a full set of weapons and armor. When they were first released, they must have nothing, no weapons, and no food. With two fists and four hands, the unarmed Swiss prisoners of war certainly cannot beat the regular army of the Habsburgs.

Faced with the fact that such people can be defeated, the Habsburg family should go to bed early, do n’t mention any hegemony ...

Fighting for hegemony is a game played by people with strength, but without strength. If Song Xiangong insists on participating, he will inevitably end up in a tragic ending.

Because of the relay mode for changing horses along the way, within a few days, the secret letter was sent to the Emperor Maximilian I of Innsbruck.

Facing Marin's suggestion, Maximilian I was clearly tempted ...

Eagle Fort ~ www.novelhall.com ~ That was the ancestral home of the Habsburg family, and even the source of the surname. If it can be recovered, it is indeed significant.

Moreover, Marin's suggestion did not take the opportunity to regain Eagle Fort, but annexed the entire Switzerland. What's more, Marin will cooperate very well and send the Swiss prisoners into the ambush circle of the Habsburg family army after the canal excavation is completed ...

"Marin is such a great loyal minister!" Maximilian I said happily.

He could not understand Marin's fear of Calvinism, nor could he find reason for Marin to help himself. The only explanation is that Marin is a great loyal loyalty to himself ...

After receiving Marin's letter, Maximilian I discussed with several veterans of the Habsburg family and agreed that this is a good time to regain the Habsburg family ancestral Eagle Fort ...

So Maximilian I ordered that the entire Austrian army was mobilized. On the Dutch side, Prince Philip soon received a letter from Maximilian I, and began to gather troops to deter the Principality of Geddes, avoiding the thousands of Swiss mercenaries in the Principality of Geddes to take advantage of the opportunity to return to China ...
