Chapter 723： Dig holes in the Duchy of Geddes

The 80,000 prisoners of war in Switzerland were captured by the Habsburg family army, which immediately shocked the whole of Germany. After capturing the Swiss prisoners of war, the generals who led the team did not dare to **** the Swiss prisoners to Austria in order to avoid being robbed halfway, but went directly to the Netherlands through the Principality of Cliff.

The Netherlands is also a Habsburg family's fiefdom, and it is naturally safe to **** prisoners of war here. Moreover, in the Netherlands area of ​​the Habsburg family, the Principality of Brabant and the Principality of Cliff are only separated by a river. It is very easy to transport people across the river.

However, the Principality of Geddes, who colluded with the Swiss, was on the side and was very strong. Therefore, in order to avoid unforeseen circumstances, the Austrian army escorted the Swiss captives across the river and quickly took them to the hinterland of the Principality of Brabant.

However, after learning that the Austrian army escorted the Swiss prisoners into the hinterland of the Principality of Brabant to avoid the robberies of the Principality of Geddes, a bold idea suddenly emerged ...

Any ideas? Naturally, it seduce the Principality of Gedsi to take the initiative to rob ...

Of course, it is not that the Principality of Geddes really robbed the 80,000 Swiss mercenaries. If that's the case, it's a disaster. The Principality of Gede Si already has more than 10,000 troops, and its combat power is not bad. If they were to **** the 80,000 Swiss mercenaries and armed them, they would be able to annex the Netherlands ...

Therefore, Marin apparently did not really want the Principality of Geddes to successfully **** the Swiss prisoners of war. His purpose was to use a group of fake "Swiss prisoners of war" to lure the Principality of Geddes. Then, using this as a crime, find an excuse to attack the Principality of Geddes, and then realize the strategic intention of annexing the Principality of Geddes.

To this end, Marin sent people to contact Maximilian I in an emergency, hoping that His Majesty the Emperor would cooperate with him in a play ...

The content of the play is-Marin provided more than 10,000 fake "Swiss prisoners of war", let the Habsburg family army deliberately escorted to the place not far from the principality of Geddes. Moreover, deliberately send fewer defenders ...

In this way, Charles II, Duke of Geddes, will definitely be excited. What's more, as long as the camp is stolen, it will add 80,000 powerful warriors ... No, now it seems that there are only more than 70,000 people left, and some people have hung in the battle with the Habsburg family army ... but in any case, the rescue of these people, the power is absolutely skyrocketing ... Even the annexation of the Netherlands is not a problem ...

Of course, the people rescued are certainly not really "Swiss mercenaries", but the magistrates of the electoral states of Saxony and Brandenburg, captured by Marin. In the previous battle of Lübeck, Marin captured tens of thousands of enemy troops and strong people. Those regular troops were redeemed by the two countries. However, according to the agreement, those people were given to Marin. Moreover, they have to send over the families of the strong people to offset many of the compensation.

Today, the small canal in the South Münster area is almost repaired. Marin plans to mobilize the militia from 50,000 captives, put on wooden shackles, and put on the fancy cut clothes of the Swiss mercenaries to let them Go pretend to be a Swiss mercenary prisoner of war. Moreover, the place of detention was close to the site of the Duchy of Geddes, enticing them to attack ...

As long as the Principality of Geddes can't help tempting to send troops, it is tantamount to actively attacking the emperor! Although the emperor of Shinra was not as authoritative as the emperor of the east. However, the initiative to attack the emperor's territory, the emperor can also be punished. Of course, the premise is that the emperor must have the ability to punish.

If the Principality of Geddes really succeeded in the rescue, with more than 70,000 Swiss mercenaries, it would n’t be afraid of the emperor ’s punishment. It may even kill the emperor and seize the Netherlands ...

Of course, the premise is-Marin's strength is not so strong. Otherwise, there is such a fierce thug, and the Principality of Geddes may not dare to do it.

To be honest, if you can rescue these 70,000 prisoners of war, plus the original elite army of more than 10,000 in the Principality of Geddes, defeating the Dutch army of the Habsburg family is easy.

Moreover, if the Habsburg family site is annexed, the French will definitely support it, which can be said to be a steady win. The only variable is Marin's 40,000 army ...

With this in mind, Marin publicly announced that 20,000 of the 40,000 troops had been sent to England to temporarily lend to Edward to maintain domestic stability. In a year or two, it is estimated that I will not come back ...

As a result, Marin's local army has only one or two thousand people. With the support of the French, the Principality of Geddes may not have the power of a battle. Moreover, on the issue of West Friesland, the Principality of Geddes and Marin had actually torn their faces. From the bottom of my heart, Charles II, Duke of Geddes must have hated Marin. If he finds an opportunity, he will definitely be willing to defeat Marin and recapture West Friesland. Even, gain a large territory of the Munster area ...

...

Marin, while announcing to send 20,000 hands to England, expressed extreme surprise at the Swiss mercenaries being captured by the Habsburg family:

"It's none of my business. It's probably that the emperor has learned that the Swiss mercenaries are about to be released by me, and urgently sent someone to capture them. After all, your emperor is fighting with the Swiss in Switzerland. If the 80,000 mercenaries return home successfully, the chance of your emperor's defeat is extremely great. Replaced with me, I know that the enemy will have 80,000 reinforcements to return to the country, and they will definitely send someone to intercept ...

"Really, it's none of my business, I swear ..." Marin explained to some of the emissaries of the princes who questioned innocently. However, when he said this, Marin was very cunning. He said "I swear", but did not say anything. And the messengers sent by the princes did not dare to really force Marin to say the oath. After all, their ranks were not enough. What Marin thought was "I swear, all I said is false" ...

And when Marin explained, John II, Duke of Cliff, who had been with the emperor and received many benefits from the emperor, also explained to the princes:

"Old irons, I didn't know that the army of His Majesty the Emperor would intercept the freed Swiss mercenaries! And, they said that they would take the road directly. Do you dare not give the Emperor's face?"

Then, the old fritters politician changed his face again, looking straight:

"I announced that I would like to protest that the army of His Majesty the Emperor provoked war in my country. Therefore, I will send a solemn protest to His Majesty Maximilian I and demand an apology for compensation ..."

Then, the goods really wrote a diplomatic letter in public and sent someone to Vienna to protest to Maximilian I ...

The messengers were suddenly dumbfounded-Nima, there is such an operation?

Such open questioning of His Majesty the Emperor really made the princes feel relieved. But-does this work? The 80,000 Swiss mercenaries have been captured by the soldiers of His Majesty the Emperor. Without those mercenaries returning to join the war, who would defeat the emperor's "invading army" against Switzerland?

Then, the princes were given routines by the entire old fritters of John II ...

In fact, this kind of routine was secretly taught to him by Marin. This kind of diplomatic rhetoric ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Marin learned a lot from the spokesperson of the later China diplomacy. It sounds majestic and inspiring, but Mao is useless ...

...

Soon, Maximilian I wrote back to Marin. In the letter, Maximilian I was very interested in the Principality of Kungdez. The reason is that the French and Swiss enemies of the Principality of Geddes and the Habsburgs are too close. In the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, the Principality of Geddes is a standard anti-skeleton man and is very poorly packed. Therefore, the emperor is very happy to design the pits of two to five.

Therefore, under the arrangement of His Majesty the Emperor, a concentration camp dedicated to the detention of "Swiss mercenary prisoners of war" began construction in the Principality of Brabant, Austria, near the Principality of Geddes.

This place was originally a wasteland. According to the order of His Royal Highness Prince Philip, the more than 70,000 surviving Swiss prisoners of war will reclaim the wasteland here to open up a lot of good fields ...

As for the 50,000 people from Saxony and Brandenburg who played the "Swiss prisoners of war", Marin secretly arranged for them to travel day and night, passing through the Principality of Cliff, to the Principality of Brabant, and to the under construction. The concentration camp, disguised as a "Swiss prisoner of war", waited for the Principality of Geddes to jump into the pit itself ...
