Seeing the thoughtful expression of Frederick III, the elector of Saxony, Marin sneered and said:
"Want to understand? Lord Frederick. It wasn't me Marin who always had to fight against the princes, but that you have been living with me and refused to recognize my prince's status!"
"In fact, since I became the Earl of East Friesland, I have been a member of the princely aristocracy. At that time, I thought about integrating into the princely circle. But, have you given me a chance? You have always put me Seen as a dog of His Majesty the Emperor, refused to accept me. I was also forced to help but had to continue to be mixed with His Majesty the Emperor. Otherwise, no one in the world would accept me! "
Frederick III thought for a while-as if this was indeed the case, since Marin had become the Count of East Friesland, he had never actively attacked anyone, and each time he sent troops, he stood on the side of reasoning (in fact, Marin thought about doing Out of options) ...
Therefore, Marin said that it was the princes who forced Marin to stand to the Habsburg family. It was true ...
What are the princes of Germany? Frederick III actually knew better. In this day and age, most of the princes are idiots, only knowing to enjoy and do good things.
Moreover, most German princes are stubborn in their thoughts and refuse to accept new things and ideas.
In this era, apart from Marin as a traversal, in fact the two most powerful monarchs in Germany were Frederick III and Maximilian I.
It is a pity that Maximilian I was born in the Habsburg family and is also the emperor, and naturally stood opposite the princes.
And another powerful indigenous prince, Saxony, the elector Frederick III, also because of his identity, naturally stood opposite the emperor Maximilian I.
...
It stands to reason that although Maximilian I was capable, he was born in the Tiankeng family of the Habsburg family, and there are enemies everywhere. In addition, when he was young, because he was young, he expressed his ambition to unite Germany, and he was naturally resisted by the German princes. Therefore, even if the emperor's majesty is very capable, the heroes can't hold up (the enemy). In the face of the princes who are warming up, Maximilian I has no way ...
As for Frederick III, the elector of Saxony who is the same as Maximilian I, he also has a bitter self-knowledge-although the princes are united in D with him as the core ...
However, he has a large group of teammates and has little sincerity for his vision. If Frederick III stayed in later generations, he would definitely evaluate his allies-pig teammates ...
Although the princes knew that the Habsburg family held a group against the emperor, they also recommended the most discerning Frederick III as the prince leader. However, they often do things that lag behind. The most classic is that these princes have always refused to accept Marin into the circles of German princes on the grounds that their descent is too low ...
Because of the boycott of the old nobles, Marin basically had few friends of the secular princes in the imperial princes' court and was often isolated.
Every time I saw Marin, many secular princes opened their mouths and used the word "Emperor Running Dog" to describe Marin ...
In this way, Marin would blame it if he was not angry. And the cooperation with the Habsburg family is taken for granted-the enemy of the enemy is a friend. What's more, Marin is old with the Habsburg family ...
...
Of course, these are superficial phenomena. After all, no one would think that Marin is actually an ambitious traverser. Even if those princes accepted him, Marin would not be sincere with them. After all, Marin ’s ambitions, but the Prussia who learned the later generations, occupied the little Germany and became the boss of the German overlord ...
Therefore, even if those princes are friendly to him, he will find ways to deal with them. However, in this way, after all, it can't keep up with passively dealing with princes. After all, the passive and the person are evil, and the fault is no longer your own.
Frederick III had some understanding at the moment why Marin continued to stand on the side of the emperor, but understanding came to an understanding, but his purpose had not yet been achieved.
So Frederick III said to Marin:
"It's the fault of the princes to treat you like this. But, Grand Duke Marin, you are also a prince, or a stronger member of the princes. What benefit is it to you if we defeat our alliance of princes? Once we collapse, Hab It ’s very likely that the Spence family will take the opportunity to launch a full-scale war of unity of will. If we are all done, the Habsburg family will become extremely powerful. By then, the only remaining North Sea country, you think the Habsburg family Will you let it go? At that time, we will all be wiped out. The best result is that, like the Duke and Earl of France, losing authority, it is all between the emperor's next thought ... "
"So, as a member of the princes, you should not help the Habsburg family to deal with us, but should help us deal with the Habsburg family."
After listening to Frederick III, Marin smiled coldly:
"Help you? You used to have such a bad attitude towards me. Why should I help you, just because you have a big face? You are right. Helping your emperor, I may end badly in the future. However, just help you end? Most of you hate me and ca n’t help but destroy me. If you win, can you still tolerate the existence of Beihai? "
After a pause, Marin continued:
"Like this time, I almost came back in danger. But how did you princes treat me? The eight princes near the Beihai Kingdom actually took the opportunity of my" death "to join together and intend to bully me 10 The one-year-old son will also destroy the Beihai Kingdom and remove my Huffman family from the prince list! "
"I guess that if it wasn't for the coalition of princes to intervene in Swiss affairs, maybe, hearing the news of my 'death', you troops will also be more active in destroying my North Sea country than the eight princes!"
Frederick III was a little embarrassed, because the princes of the Alliance of Lords heard the news of the death of Marin, and they really had the idea of extinguishing the North Sea country, including Frederick III himself. Now, it was broken by Marin, which made him a little embarrassed.
But Frederick III was Frederick III, and his face was already practiced. He strongly argued:
"Why? I am a reasonable person. Most princes are also reasonable. The unreasonable is just a handful of people. The behavior of the eight princes does not represent the ideas of most princes ..."
Marin took a sip of tea and said seriously:
"Oh this way, then, Frederick also thinks that the eight princes have taken the blame?"
Frederick III didn't know what to say suddenly ~ www.novelhall.com ~ If the eight princes did not have his brother-in-law Henry, he must have made a clear line with them immediately. However, because of his brother-in-law, he is not good at drawing boundaries. So, he said:
"Should, or, probably, maybe ..."
Malin deliberately pretended not to see the other party's entanglement and continued:
"Since the eight princes are the evil party, and they signed the duel with my son before, then, according to the agreement in the duel, now, our North Sea country has defeated each other, we can reasonably occupy all eight princes Now, Master Frederick, what do you think? "
After finishing his speech, Marin looked at Frederick III with a dazzling look, waiting for the other party to express his position.
Frederick III was surprised when he heard:
"You can't do this. The eight vassal states are all old German vassal states. You can't say that they will be destroyed. Or, according to the old rules, these defeated countries ceded part of the territory to the North Sea State?"
Frederick III decided to let the eight princely states cede the land to pay compensation according to the old practice. For example, before he lost to the Beihai Kingdom, he ceded a land of the size of the Bo Kingdom. He intends to repeat his tricks, so that the eight countries will also cede the land to pay compensation to solve the matter.
Especially the brother-in-law of Brunswick-Lüneburg, he planned to let his brother-in-law cede a large area of land to Marin to solve the defeat. For example, Frederick III felt good about the Lüneburg wasteland near Lüneburg. That place may seem large, but the degree of development is relatively low. Even if it is ceded, it will not hurt the essence of the Principality of Brunswick-Lüneburg ...
But Marin shook his head and said:
"No, I plan to completely merge these 8 countries as agreed in the duel book!"
"you……"
So the first meeting between the two broke up ...
