Chapter 538： George sells land

()

() & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp In fact, if Marin is known as the Grand Duke of the North Sea, not only the Danes are unhappy, but the English and Scots are also expected to be unhappy. Why? Because the site of Kanut the Great included not only Denmark, Norway and southern Sweden, but also most of England and Scotland.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp You Marin became the Grand Duke of the North Sea, do you want to learn Kanut and come to invade England and Scotland?

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Marlin's answer to this is-Yes, Di, Lao Tzu is to dominate the North Sea, to annex England and Scotland!

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Of course, this is the answer in my heart and the real answer by Marin. However, when the English and the Scots came to ask, Marin would definitely not say that, but would say-Oops, my territory happens to be on the North Sea, so it is called the Grand Duchy of the North Sea ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp is correct, because after replacing the land with the Archdiocese of Bremen, the land along the North Sea coast in the German region really belongs to Marin. Marlin ’s statement is also no problem ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp But when the German princes asked about it, Marin deliberately implied them-I am in the ocean and don't like to fight for hegemony on land ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp means-Lao Tzu is a man who wants to be a pirate king. As for the torture on the land, let's play ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp And German princes, they just love to hear this news. Because Marin has nothing to do with them even if he becomes a maritime overlord. Moreover, such a strong man has gone to the sea, and they will not be confused by their onshore tears. After all, it was a powerful man who defeated the 50,000 extremely elaborate Bossa coalition forces. He didn't come to play, the little pot friends were so happy to tear. Otherwise, such a strong man will come in, everyone playing Mao? Are going to be beaten ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp In order to give everyone complete peace of mind, Marin also publicly promised-as long as you do not take the initiative to attack me, I will never take the initiative to attack you! Of course, except those who betrayed the Holy Roman Empire and the Holy See ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbspMarin deliberately said that he was ambushing for future religious wars. You did n’t beat me, but you betrayed the Holy See and joined the Protestantism, so do n’t blame me, the “great knight of the guardian”, for sending troops to “justice” ... Then, by the way, grab your territory ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp In fact, after this battle, Marin planned to immerse himself in development for several years. Then, continue to power, waiting to join the religious war that swept the whole of Germany. It seems that most of the princes in northern Germany converted to Protestantism. Under the guise of maintaining Catholicism, Marin will have a place to grab ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp As for the promise of "betraying the Holy Roman Empire", it was actually an ambush for the Principality of Geddes. The Principality of Geddes colluded with France, Marin knew. When he and the Principality of Geddes opened tears for West Friesland, in order to occupy the moral commanding heights, it was necessary to take the Principality of Geddes as "eating outside and colluding with foreign countries (France)". In this way, you have become a party of justice, and the princes cannot accuse themselves of anything.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp was thinking about West Friesland, and now the legal master of West Friesland, Duke George of Saxony, stood up ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp George played soy sauce for a long time, although from the heart, he also opposed Marin. However, in this imperial meeting, he did not stand up to marin, but played soy sauce all the way.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Why? Because he also pointed out that in the case of irreversible things, the high price of one million gold coins was sold to Marlin. So, despite being unhappy with Marin, George did not participate in the ranks of Marin, lest Marin be evil.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Seeing that Marin's things are over, George decides to throw out his problems and ask the princes to help themselves ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbspGeorge came to the stage and bowed to everyone, then said pitifully:

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Masters, please help me! West Friesland under my administration was invaded by Charles II, Duke of Geddes, please help me to do justice!"

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp The princes who were present looked at each other-Nima, you can't beat others with waste wood, and lost the Principality of Geddes, it's our business? Do you want us to send troops to help you recapture West Frisian? Dreaming ... unless you give enough benefits first ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbspThe princes married Marin together because Marin was a former emperor's man, and his warfare ability was too strong. Everyone joined forces to curb Marin, also for their own sake, to prevent Marin from expanding to themselves.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp And the ruins between the Principality of Saxony and the Principality of Geddes, they did not care much. Because, although the Principality of Saxony and the Principality of Geddes are both relatively strong, they have not affected the ability of the entire Germany. This "dog bites dog"

The broken things of & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp have gone more in the German region, how can they be free to take care of everything?

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Moreover, as the Principality of Saxony with great fame and strength, you can't beat the Principality of Geddes, which was restored in 1492. Everyone actually despise George ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp George was a little anxious to see everyone's despising eyes. He explained to the princes:

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Masters, it is not that my Saxony squad is not strong. It is because Charles II, Duke of Geddes colluded with the French! The French provided a large number of Swiss mercenaries for the Principality of Geddes, which defeated our army. ! With the help of the French, the Principality of Saxony is not an opponent of the Principality of Geddes! For the Holy Roman Empire not to be infiltrated by foreign countries, please help me! "

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Yes, we should help Duke George, for colluding with foreign countries like the Principality of Geddes is equivalent to treason, we have reason to organize coalition forces to fight it!" At this time, Emperor Maximilian I stood up and helped George speaks. He was most disgusted by the princes colluding with France. After all, he has always regarded powerful France as a rival.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp However, what made Maximilian I unexpected, even if he raised it to the height of national national justice, except for the nobles of the Habsburg family, other princes responded very little ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Why? Because many German nobles believe that-a powerful France is an important resistance to the emperor Maximilian I's growth and unification of Germany. The existence of France is an important guarantee for protecting the princes from being annexed by the Habsburg dynasty. Because, France will definitely prevent the Habsburgs from agreeing to Germany.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Therefore, in terms of interests, the existence of France is beneficial to the princes. Of course, if France wants to invade Germany massively, it is not impossible for everyone to unite and fight against France ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Of course, this cannot be said publicly. Everyone knows that the existence of France makes Austria uncomfortable. However, public support for France will not work. Otherwise, the emperor may have an excuse to buckle you a big "treason" hat. At that time, clean up your justifications ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp So, they are not very interested in what George said that the Principality of Geddes colluded with France. So some princes asked George dryly for evidence and witnesses ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp But now there is no evidence in George's hands, and the witnesses were also killed by the Duchy of Geddes Therefore, he could not produce evidence or witnesses.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp So, the princes took the opportunity to evade George's request ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Speaking, George is also stupid. If he does not speak French, the princes may sympathize with him more. However, he said, and expressed his hostility towards France with a clear and low flag, those princes were unhappy. You know, France is a potential ally against the Habsburg family. Although it is not possible to form an open alliance, the two parties have a tacit understanding ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Maximilian I was annoyed, so he announced loudly:

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "If there is evidence that the Principality of Geddes colludes with France, it is guilty of treason. If anyone has the ability to send troops to attack the Principality of Geddes, the land that is laid can be owned by him! The capital of Geldden is reserved for the Principality And surrounding areas! "

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp The Principality of Geddes is divided into two parts-the capital of Gelden and the surrounding area ~ www.novelhall.com ~ This part of the area only occupies a small area of ​​the Principality, in the later German territory; the other part is located in the Netherlands The area near the mouth of the Rhine. This part is much larger than the land near the capital, accounting for most of it. Its total area is more than 3,000 square kilometers, and the fertile land and developed agriculture make it a rare good land.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Of course, considering that there is a French backing behind it, it's not that hard to fight. Moreover, the army of the Habsburg family is currently stuck in Switzerland, and it is impossible to pull out.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Coincidentally, Charles II, Duke of Geddes, did not come to the meeting today. It is said that he is ill and cannot come to Worms. Therefore, no one refuted the emperor's decision. Other princes have no reason to refute ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Why? Do you want to say that the princes are innocent of colluding with foreign countries? Then you will be unlucky ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp only Marlin standing on the edge, silently flashing a stern light-this piece of meat, let me eat ...
