Chapter 841： Scandinavian

In fact, Marin originally intended to use "The Holy See's needs" as a foreshadowing. However, if this is said, although it can make Rome happy, it may scare those princes who intend to convert to Protestantism, especially Marin's neighbors.

After all, Reformed Protestantism meant tearing the face with the Holy See. And if Marin declared obedience to the "Holy See of the Holy See", wouldn't that mean that he would become a beater of the Holy See? If this is the case, after Martin Luther ’s Protestantism begins to spread, perhaps those princes far from the North Sea will not care, but the neighbors of the North Sea will never dare to care. Once they cared about it, they dared not change it.

However, what Marin hopes to annex most in the future must be those who are Protestant Protestants. Because, only in this way, he will have an excuse to do it. If the neighboring country does not convert, how can he have reason to annex others? After all, swearing is not random.

Therefore, Marin finally adopted the ambiguous foreshadowing of "God's Need". What is "God's need"? The ghost knows ... but it sounds reasonable. After all, everyone is a believer in God. God needs it, can he refuse? Besides, swearing is also swearing in the name of God. God needs it, and he can be in harmony ...

In other words, from now on, Malin will temporarily stop blending in internal hegemony affairs in Germany. However, in secret, he will intervene to a certain extent. For example, let the neighboring countries all convert to Lutheran ... Only in this way, he has the opportunity to start ...

But first, Marin had to let Martin Luther show himself ...

According to the original historical development, Martin Luther's religious reform did not begin until 1517. After the beginning, it was only popular in the Saxon electorate of supporter Elector Frederick III of Saxony and the neighboring archbishop of Magdeburg. In the northern part of Germany, a large area of ​​Lutheranism was converted and a religious war was triggered. It was necessary to wait until the outbreak of the Smakarden War in 1546.

However, in 1546 ... Nima, Marin was 68 years old at that time, almost hung up, and also fighting a P religious war? So, all this must be "fast forward" ...

And how to "fast forward"? Quite simply, Marin secretly supported Luther Zong's early development ...

For example, Marin must first support the rapid rise of Martin Luther and get Luther Zong up as soon as possible. Only when he made Luther Zong up, can there be a conflict between old and new religions.

And Martin Luther initiated the religious reforms because Leo X sold a lot of "atonement tickets" in the German region, so Marin was busy during this time, and he needed to visit Rome and the future pope Medici The family Leo X had a good relationship and encouraged him to engage in "atonement" in advance, so as to find Martin Luther's target ...

Then, Marin will spend a lot of money, in the northern region of Germany, to send people to Martin Luther to sing praises to help him prestige. Otherwise, if Martin Luther's reputation spread too slowly, the northern nations will not be easily converted. And they don't change, how does Marin have an excuse to start? Anyway, this process is long and extremely difficult ...

Of course, this is also a good thing. Because, even if the religious revolution erupts now, Marin has no strength to annex many countries. Therefore, the longer time, just gave Marin time to accumulate power. When the religious war broke out, he could just devour the Protestant princes ...

...

Precisely, taking advantage of the current opportunity for Marin to ask the Pope to help solve the problem of church land in the west of South Münster, Marin decided to say hello to his father-in-law in advance and let him take care of the future Pope Leo X. If he had time, he also planned to go to Rome in person to have a personal relationship with the equally young Leo X. After all, they are the future pope. His old father-in-law is getting older, and God knows he can still be a pope for several years. Once the old father-in-law is gone, he must hug the thigh of the next pope. Therefore, investing from now on is the best way.

Marin's move is very strange. He invested well in other people's projects, and he invested in the Pope ... In the entire history of humanity, probably only Lu Buwei invested in Qin Zhuangxiang King Qin Yiren can compare with it. Moreover, Lu Buwei just invested a generation of King Qin, and then was killed by the next prince Yingzheng. But Marlin is different. He is an investment of two generations of popes, and he has a great grasp-who calls him a traverser, knowing the future ...

...

While processing important information, Marin saw the Nordic report ...

The conflict between Northern Europe, Denmark and Sweden also started after the end of spring ploughing, probably during the time Marin went to America.

After two wars in Denmark, the treasury has long been exhausted, and it seems to have collapsed. But Marin helped Denmark in time and did not rush to urge them to pay war compensation. Moreover, Marin also paid cash and ordered a large amount of wood produced from Norwegian forests in Denmark, which made Danish finances slow.

In a situation where the finances almost collapsed, and the enemies Marin and Hanseatic League could not be beaten, Hans wisely chose to find a soft persimmon. And Sweden is obviously the soft persimmon ...

Do n’t look at Sweden as a victorious country before, but that ’s because they held their thighs well. The combat effectiveness of the Swedish army is actually not as good as Denmark. Of course, the Danish army is not much stronger than Sweden. The two sides are at the same level, but Denmark is only slightly better.

When Sweden really rises up and becomes a Nordic lion, it is necessary to wait for the perversion of Gustav II. Because the "Gustav Line Array" invented by Gustav was superior to the Spanish phalanx, and also superior to the powerful Morris phalanx at that time.

But for now, the Swedish army is still an old-fashioned European army, and it is on the same level as the Danish army. If the two sides tear each other, it depends on which side has more people ...

...

Originally, the Swedes absolutely did not believe that Denmark could attack them. why? Because the Danish navy is completely gone, the army wants to cross the Øresund Strait. In addition, even if Denmark wants to attack Sweden, Lübeck and Hamburg are not happy. After all, the Hanseatic League where Lübeck and Hamburg are located, and Denmark have been friends for many years. The Danish army wants to cross the Øresund strait controlled by Lübeck and Hamburg, and also asks whether the two cities agree or disagree. Also, even if the Danes want to fight, they have to ask whether the financial permission is allowed ...

However, the Swedes did not expect that Marin would give Danish King Hans an idea. At the suggestion of Marin, Danish King Hans resolutely confessed to Lübeck and Hamburg, and gave Malmö and Helsingborg two originally occupied Swedish port cities to each other. In sharp contrast, the Kingdom of Sweden, which nominally owns the sovereignty of the two cities, is thinking of taking back the two port cities on the main route. Because these two port cities, which control the north-south exports of the Øresund Strait, have developed commerce and can receive a lot of taxes.

Not only that, according to Marin ’s suggestion, Hans also completely gave up shipping interests, and handed over the shipping industry in the port cities of Denmark and southern Sweden to the merchant ships of Lübeck and Hamburg to control, and finally moved two business supreme Hanseatic commercial city.

At the same time, Marin also greeted the two cities-Sweden is too strong and does not serve the interests of the Hanseatic League ...

Under these circumstances, Lübeck and Hamburg finally acquiesced the Danish army across the Øresund Strait and attacked southern Sweden ...

...

Originally, the Danish army was not much stronger than the Swedish army. However, Hans was very clever. He used the "empty glove white wolf" method to hire a large number of elite veterans from the in-laws of Saxony and Brandenburg and let them help fight. As for the commission, when Sweden loses its compensation, will it not?

It was precisely because of the joining of elite veterans of Saxony and Brandenburg that the fighting power of the two sides was pulled apart. After the Danish army was strengthened, the fighting power was naturally much stronger than Sweden. About 15,000 soldiers from Denmark, Saxony and Brandenburg crossed the Øresund Strait and penetrated into southern Sweden. Of course, those veterans of Saxony and Brandenburg joined in the name of mercenaries. Therefore, the ownership of the army remains the Kingdom of Denmark.

The Kingdom of Sweden did not prepare in advance. The resistance army of more than 10,000 that had been mobilized in the old Steen Sturley era had been disbanded at this time. There were only three or four thousand standing troops in the country. When the Danish army invaded southern Sweden, it suddenly broke through and quickly occupied the southern coastal area of ​​Sweden.

When the Kingdom of Sweden mobilized 10,000 troops, the Danish army had already killed near Stockholm City ...

However, the Kingdom of Sweden had Marin sponsoring their two thousand matchlocks. The rifle guards the city and has a huge advantage. Therefore, it is difficult for the Danish army to break through Stockholm.

But Danish King Hans was not in a hurry to capture Stockholm, because, if the attack was strong, the casualties were too great. Moreover, Marin has crossed the red line for him-Denmark is only allowed to cut off the area south of Stockholm ...

Therefore, King Hans simply ordered-let the army surround Stockholm City, but not much, waiting for the grain and grass in Stockholm City to run out. As long as the outside world does not have any food and then transports it into the city, the Swedes will run out of food sooner or later. At that time, the other party will either surrender or perish ...

In addition ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Hans also sent a small army to bypass Stockholm north to occupy Sweden's largest financial source-Failun Copper Mine ...

As long as the copper mine is occupied and mass production is maintained, the Danes have a source of income. Falun Copper Mine is now producing large amounts of copper, and now European copper prices are so high. With this copper mine, it can be described as "daijinjin" ...

At this time, the ministers of the new Swedish kingdom finally reacted-how stupid they did before ...

Kicking Marin out of the shareholder circle of Fa Yilun Copper Mine seems to have obtained huge economic benefits. However, such a large economic benefit must be guaranteed. Obviously, the Danes just saw that Sweden had no reliance on losing Marin, a powerful military ally. Only in this way can the courage to attack.

But the Swedes couldn't figure out why the traditional Danish rivals Lübeck and Hamburg would also ignore the Danish invasion of Sweden. To this end, Sweden sent envoys to Lübeck and Hamburg for help, hoping that they could stop Denmark ’s “barbaric invasion” of Sweden ...

However, it is clear that the Swedes worshipped the wrong bodhisattva. Because, the key to this matter is actually Marin ...
