Chapter 1254： There are mines at home

The mobility of the Cossack cavalry is not covered. In particular, in order to enhance the mobility, Alsace selected two elite Cossack cavalry regiments and equipped each of these 1,000 people with three Eastern European Mongolian horses. Moreover, they are the best military horses, and there are no pack horses to change.

The horsepower of one person and three horses, plus all the best military horses, quickly caught up with Petrack's 50-man squad. After some fighting, Petrarch's team was annihilated. The clever Petrarch was lying directly on the ground and pretending to be dead. He also pulled a dead man to cover himself, trying to get through. However, the fierce Cossacks have always had the habit of making up knives. They picked away Petraq's body and then made a poke on Petraco. Petraco ...

During the pursuit of Petrarch, the two Cossack cavalry regiments also intercepted more than a dozen agents who wanted to send messages to the south. Because, as Steindorff said before-all those who rode south, all must be intercepted and questioned. Then, I caught more than a dozen agents who sent intelligence-these people all had common documents managed by the officers of the Third Army ...

"Hey!" After reading the secret letters, Steindorff sprayed the swear words learned from boss Marin, and patted the table angrily.

"Almost forgot, the Third Legion may have a lot of hidden piles. The arrival of the Cossack Legion is indeed a great intelligence!"

"What should I do? My legion has already appeared in Schleswig, how to keep it secret?" Arthas asked.

"I don't know ..." Steindorff said depressed.

But soon, Koller's men spies who came to remove the insiders of the fertilizer farm brought Marin's secret letter to guide Steindorff what to do next ...

...

The day after receiving the secret letter, Steindorff announced to the outside world-the establishment of a military government to temporarily take over all military and political affairs in Schleswig. This is equivalent to self-reliance, but Steindorff also added-until Prince Caesar's administration ...

But the outside world directly ignored the last sentence, why? Because Caesar is only 10 years old, pro-government must be at least 18 years old, that is, 8 years later. By that time, Steindorff had already firmly controlled Schleswig Province, and basically had the strength to break away from the North Sea.

At the same time, Steindorff also publicly "recommended" that the second legion temporarily stationed in Wagner on the west coast of Schleswig province north of Jutland Province is equivalent to the default that the second legion is in control of the site, although it is not large. The rich province of Jutland is in Georgia.

Although the province of Schleswig is less than 10,000 square kilometers, it has developed agriculture and high fiscal revenue. Although Jutland is twice the size of Schleswig, it has less arable land and most people are engaged in grazing. The tax revenue from grazing is far less than the agricultural tax revenue. Therefore, despite the larger area of ​​Jutland, the profitability is not as good as that of Schleswig.

And this time Steindorff and Wagner are equivalent to dividing up the two easternmost provinces of the North Sea, and clearing the boundaries with Aurich ...

...

As for how to prevent intelligence leaks, Steindorff followed Marin's instructions and declared Schleswig Province "in a state of emergency." In the past, the power of road guidance that both officials and middle-level officers could issue was temporarily withdrawn by Steindorff.

As a result, those officers who want to send someone to deliver the message will have difficulty going out. Without the guide, it is difficult to walk in Beihai.

At the same time, Arthas left Steindorff with two Cossack cavalry regiments, changing shifts day and night, specifically responsible for intercepting any suspicious people. All those who ran on horseback were stopped to search the whole body. If the origin and purpose are unclear, they will all be temporarily taken into custody. Even, Marin instructed Steindorff-rather kill by mistake, don't let it go. In extraordinary times, no one is allowed to leave Schleswig easily ...

With the cooperation of the two Cossack cavalry regiments, Steindorff sealed off the province of Schleswig like an iron cage, and no bird could fly out.

...

This phenomenon caused some princes who were convening soldiers and horses to worry a little, worrying that Steindorff and Aurich would join forces against them. After all, the news that a rebellious general had blocked it was too abnormal.

But then Angela issued a condemnation statement in the name of the Regent Queen Mother, which relieved several princes ...

In a statement, Angela strongly condemned the betrayal of Wagner and Steindorff, and accused the two of them of being traitors. At the same time, it also accused the two army commanders of secretly borrowing their respective families (their families are all hostages in Aurich), betrayal has long been premeditated.

But in fact, their family, still in Aurich, just hide it. How could Marin rest assured that the two would leave with 20,000 troops? Their family is naturally to stay in Aurich. However, from the bright side to the dark.

But it was this condemnation statement and the news that the two family members were secretly taken, but it was the news that several princes finally confirmed that Wagner and Steindorff really turned their backs. After all, a general whose family members are in the hands of others dare not come in disorder.

But conversely, if the family is not under the control of others, a general with a heavy army can do whatever he wants, as long as he is willing.

...

Shortly after Angela's condemnation statement was issued, Steindorff and Wagner also issued statements one after another, expressing their disbelief that Angela and the women could manage the North Sea country well. Therefore, they will never obey any orders from Mrs. Angela ...

Soon after the response was sent, news came that the Third Army began to send troops to the southwest and west coast. It seems that the Third Army is determined to rebel ...

...

These news came, and the princes of the Beihai Kingdom finally came to rest and began their final preparations ...

In addition to the thousands of standing troops originally from various countries, these princely states also ordered their barons and knights to recruit the strong and powerful in their respective territories and bring weapons to the war.

Among them, the most powerful of the two princes, the Principality of Braunschweig-Wolfenbiter, and the Principality of Brunswick-Lüneburg, each dispatched 10,000 troops.

It should be noted that ~ www.novelhall.com ~ These two principalities are ruled by branches of the Welf family. And, coincidentally, both dukes are called Henry ...

Moreover, the two principalities of the Welf family are rich. Among them, many mines in the Harz Mountains (such as the Rammelsberg mine) in the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbiter are rich in silver, copper, lead, zinc, gold, etc., and also produce potassium . There are mines at home, and Henry, Duke of Braunschweig-Wolfenbiter, is naturally rich.

Similarly, the city of Lüneburg in the Principality of Brunswick-Lüneburg is also a famous salt mining city in Europe. In the early years, Hansa merchants relied on the mineral salts of Lüneburg to ship to the Baltic region through the Stecknitz canal of the Principality of Saxony-Lauenburg to sell for high prices and make money. The price of salt in the Middle Ages has always been high, so the Principality of Brunswick-Lüneburg, which has a salt mine, is also rich and not bad at all.

The two not bad money owners are naturally leaders of this small princely alliance. After all, compared with the two local tyrants with mines, several other princes are more than one ...

In fact, Marin is also puzzled about the idea of ​​these two local tyrants who have mines at home-you have mines at home, are you still not satisfied? It's a really tiring life, and I have to die ...
