Chapter 497： Mikel's suggestion

()

() & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp The mighty fleet, carrying 40,000 troops, a large number of members of the Danish royal family and large nobles, and a large amount of property brought by the onion Copenhagen, berthed in the Schlei Bay east of the city of Schleswig.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp In order to facilitate the docking of these ships and the unloading of cargo and personnel, Mikkel, the principality of the Principality of Schleswig, organized a large number of strong soldiers to build a temporary long bridge terminal around the Schlei Bay.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp It took only half a month to construct the Changqiao Wharf, as well as personnel landing and material handling. Then, at the request of Marin, the Danish King Hans and many members of the royal family, as well as the Danish nobles and their families, were arranged into the original royal palace in the city of Schleswig. Then, Miquel blocked all the other gates of the palace, leaving only the main entrance for entry and exit.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp At the same time, Mikel also temporarily moved his office location out of the palace and changed to work in his own home. In the royal palace, 1,000 veterans and 2,000 recruits were stationed to protect the Danish royal family and the nobles and prevent them from running away. After all, these distinguished prisoners of war, but an important bargaining chip for negotiations after the war, if you run away, it will be hard to talk about.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbspBecause they want to bring the 40,000 troops to the south, in order to strengthen the safety of Schleswig, Malinte has left more than 100 outstanding instructors to help thousands of militias in Schleswig to train. These militiamen were recruited temporarily and had little combat effectiveness. The purpose of leaving outstanding instructors to train them is to allow them to quickly form combat power and ensure the safety of Schleswig. As for other places outside of Schleswig, Marin is not thinking about it now, and he is not afraid of problems even if he has any problems. As long as your army can return with victory, whoever makes trouble will be caught directly and destroyed. And if you have no choice but to run, those places are not important. If he was forced to run, Marin planned to take the members of the Danish royal family and the nobles on the long bridge pier of Schlei Bay to take refuge in Norway. With these hostages in hand, you won't lose money after all. Therefore, Marin especially emphasized that Mickel should not rush to dismantle these temporary long bridge docks, maybe it will be used soon.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Mikel, as a veteran politician who has been Prime Minister of Denmark for many years, naturally perceives something. So, when no one was around, Mikel asked Marin directly and asked what had happened.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Marin did not hide Mikel, because, if something went wrong, he would also expect Mikel to arrange the escape with important prisoners. Now it ’s okay to tell him the truth. Anyway, for the two thousand veterans in the city, Marin arranged for officers he could trust. Even those militiamen were left under the control of Malinte's more than 100 outstanding instructors. As long as you firmly hold the military power, you are not afraid of what waves Mickel will make

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Mikel was silent for a long time after he heard the secret of Marlin's rumors that happened in Worms. Half a day later, he suddenly raised his head to Marin Road:

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Master, we haven't reached the point of escaping from Germany"

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Oh? What do you say?" Marin was immediately interested.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp In fact, after years of hard work in Germany, Marin was also reluctant to abandon everything and escape overseas. After all, the Ruhr area is a place that Marin has always been optimistic about. If everything in Germany is lost, Marin is definitely not happy.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Moreover, during the war, Marin's men, such as Schwartz, were all officers and no politicians. Therefore, it is difficult for Marin to find his men who discuss political affairs. Fortunately, Mikel has been the Danish prime minister for many years (also the prime minister of the Kalmar League), and his political level is much higher than that of East Frisian Prime Minister Jeffrey. Therefore, Marin also wanted to know Mikel's views and suggestions.

After thinking about it, & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Mikel organized the language and said:

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Master, according to your information, Elector Frederick III of Saxony wanted to encourage all the princes to form a coalition to come together to fight against you, but was rejected by the religious princes led by Archbishop Hermann IV of Cologne?

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Yes, yes. But according to the intelligence of Herman IV, the religious princes gave up supporting the joint crusade against me because of Pope Lord. But according to the intelligence, those secular princes, except Bohemia The Kingdom of Asia and the Principality of Cliff, who did not participate, mostly supported Frederick III. These princes all added up, and they can build a large army of more than 100,000 people. Let me mention if I can fight Even if they have fought their problems, I will not be able to confuse them in the German area in the future because I will be enemies from all sides, "Marin said worriedly.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Mikel nodded, but he turned around and said:

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "However, they have not decided to actually start to form a coalition to punish you, right?"

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Yes, because they are not too confident now, hoping to persuade those religious princes to send troops together."

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbspMarin ’s army defeated the 50,000 soldiers of the Bossa Allied Forces. Although those secular princes can make up a total strength of more than 100,000 people, many of these 100,000 people are all together. The 40,000 troops who have beaten Marin.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Therefore, Frederick III and other secular princes hope that the powerful archbishops of Inz, Cologne and Trier will also join in. In this way, they can gather more than a dozen or two hundred thousand troops to deal with Marin, and then they will be able to make a difference.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "That's good, I heard that you have a close relationship with the current Pope?" Mikel asked.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Yes, Lord Pope must be on my side!" Marin replied confidently.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Very good, sir, the first thing you have to do now is to send people to Rome as soon as possible, and ask the Pope to send a messenger to discourage those religious princes and let them firmly refuse to join the coalition against you, which is very important! Those religious princes are very important! Now I am just hesitating and worrying about the relationship between the Pope and you. So, you need to let them see the firm support of the Pope! If it is too late, some princes may be persuaded by Frederick III! "

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Marin was shocked and immediately realized the importance of this issue. So he nodded seriously and said:

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "I will immediately arrange for the messenger to rush to Rome at any speed, Mikel, thank you for reminding me!"

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Mikel shook his head and said:

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "It's nothing, sir, I am on the same boat as you now. I have betrayed Denmark, and you will fail again, and I will die."

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Marin nodded, but he remembered Mickel's credit in his heart. Anyway, after giving Mickel's descendants some affordable rewards, it can't run away. Mikel is old, and already a prime minister, he has nothing to offer. But he has a group of descendants, and he can still be rewarded. Marlin is not stingy about title, land and good office.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Secondly, sir, while the coalition forces have not yet been assembled there, in fact, you have the opportunity to break them up!" Mikel continued.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Dismantling? How to do it?" Marin was immediately interested. It was Marin who was very happy to see that he could not single out the coalition of princes.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Master, I believe you also know that except for a few that are particularly good, like you, most other secular princes are actually relatively short-sighted and stupid. And they are also very greedy."

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Marin immediately blinked and said excitedly:

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Are you saying to bribe them?"

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Yes, that's right! You can bribe the princes who are not determined, and let them sing the opposite in the meeting to discuss the formation of the coalition forces, and mix the water! And, you said, the relationship between the Kingdom of Bohemia and you is good, Please ask them to talk too! "

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Marin nodded, very much in agreement with Mikel. The relationship between the Kingdom of Bohemia and himself was eased by the reasons of Duke Alexander and Prince Siegmont. However, the other party does not stand on their side, just not hostile to themselves.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp So, Marin can bribe Bohemia King Vladislas II to let him speak at the Worms meeting.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp In addition, Paladin Elector Philipp is 57 years old and 15 years older than Frederick III. He may not obey Frederick III. Only Joachim I, the little young man who was Frederick III ’s younger brother, listened to Frederick III ’s bewitchingly.

In short, as long as Marin is willing to pay the price and bribe the secular princes who see money, he still has the opportunity to disintegrate the "anti-Marin alliance" that Frederick III attempted to create.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp In particular, as long as the king of Bohemia and the Palatine electorate also withdrew from the alliance without the participation of religious princes, then the alliance would have little appeal. After all, under the circumstances that Brandenburg's Elector Joachim I had become a prisoner of the ranks, only Frederick III was alone. The Seven Electors, only one person takes the lead, and the appeal is obviously insufficient.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Of course, Mickel also warned Marin that he must immediately issue a statement stating that he has nothing to do with Brandenburg and Saxony and Emperor Maximilian I. It is just a struggle between the interests of both parties.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Marin hesitated because, because of this, some did not give the emperor face. If Marin announced this, it would mean that he and the emperor would openly draw a line.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp But Mikel said that if this is not done, Marin is still a threat in the eyes of most German princes, and there is still a risk of being beaten by groups.

As for the consequences that may dissatisfy the emperor, Mikel said that the survival of East Friesland is more important than that. Moreover, Marin has already detained the Swiss mercenaries and created conditions for the emperor to attack Switzerland, which is quite worthy of the emperor. Big deal, afterwards send someone to explain to the emperor. It's about life and death, I believe the emperor will understand. It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Anyway, Marin has long been reluctant to be an emperor's mazi. For this, Mikel sees it very clearly.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp after careful consideration ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Marin finally accepted all of Mikel ’s suggestions. While sending a messenger to Rome to ask the Pope ’s father-in-law for help, he wrote to the left-back domestic Kohler to carry a lot of gold and silver , Go south and bribe the secular princes of non-Frederick III hard supporters such as King Bohemia, Palatine Elector, and let them withdraw from the anti-Marin alliance, leaving Frederick III alone

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Finally, Marin intends to publicly declare that this war is only an alliance with Lübeck and Hamburg, and a conflict of interest erupted between the consortium of Brandenburg, Saxony and Denmark. It has nothing to do with the emperor. At the same time, Ma Lin will also show that he respects the political tradition of the German region, which almost implies that he respects the autonomy of the princes.
