Chapter 1721： Declare ownership

After getting accurate information, Zieg began to order people to strengthen the city wall, while looking for the iron sheet on the city gate. In addition, people were sent to sneak into the eastern region to inquire about the news to confirm the authenticity of the information.

The most important thing is that Sieg withdrew all the barracks originally deployed in the wild. These military camps were originally deployed to attack troops. Now, staying in the wild, waiting to be eliminated by the enemy's superior strength. Only withdrawing to Jiancheng can ensure safety.

Then, Sieg selected a group of mountain people who knew the local terrain to form guerrillas, and equipped them with many crossbows, which were used to raid the enemy's supply line. These crossbows can fire rockets, and are mainly used to burn foes of foes, especially fodder for war horses.

However, guarding the fortified city requires a lot of food. The Swiss have little food and can only help France. The pigeons flew to Paris, and Francois I thought about it and agreed to support the Swiss on the grass. However, it takes time.

So, at the suggestion of French officials, in order to delay the time, Sieg deliberately sent people to the palace of the Emperor Innsbruck, the capital of Tyrol, pretending to be in talks about “calling for peace”.

Zig ’s messenger pretended to agree to surrender to the Habsburg family, but demanded certain autonomy rights. At the same time, for the generals of the Resistance, they asked for the title and territory of the baron.

In fact, Sieg and a group of Swiss resistance generals never thought of surrendering to the Habsburg family. They just had to delay the time because the food supported by France had not been delivered.

The emperor was suspicious of Zigger's messengers, but the messengers sent by Sieg were very clever, asking for prices from the beginning, insisting on guaranteeing the autonomous status of western Switzerland, but letting the emperor believe some ...

If the messenger said he would surrender unconditionally, the emperor would not believe it. Because, there will be no pies in the sky. But the resistance made such rudeness (in the eyes of the Habsburgs), but it seemed a bit real.

Of course, the emperor refused to let Western Switzerland self-government. In addition, he also wanted to paralyze the Swiss Resistance through negotiations. So, pretend to consider. But secretly, they began to arrange for the transfer of Gudendorff's army to the front.

But the soldiers of Gudendorff stated that they should settle their families before attacking. Therefore, after a while, Gudendorff's army could not enter the battlefield. Therefore, whether it is Sieg ’s Resistance Army or Maximilian I, they are willing to pretend to negotiate to delay the time. In fact, both parties have no sincerity ...

Sieg wanted to delay the time and dragged grain to France. Maximilian I had to wait for Gudendorff to settle down and rush to the front. In addition, he also wanted to beat the Swiss Resistance by surprise ... So, both sides pretended to negotiate and deliberately squandered and spent time for small conditions ...

But neither side knows that neither side is actually ready. So, they are negotiating acting there, actually wasting time ...

It is not only Zieg ’s Swiss Resistance Army grains that are not in place, but also the food and grass needed by Gudendorf ’s 16,000 army. Maximilian I got Marlin's loan is not false, but it is useless to have money, but also have to buy into food. It took time, so Maximilian I allowed Gudendorff and his men to settle their families first. Because Maximilian I's men took time to purchase and transport food with money.

In particular, Maximilian I originally wanted to buy military food from Marin, who had enough food. But because Maximilian I did not agree to siege France together, Marin was not very happy to sell grain to the emperor, and found a bunch of excuses saying that storing grain was not enough. The emperor had no choice but to buy food from elsewhere.

For cost reasons, the emperor ordered people to go to Lviv, Poland, where the grain price is the lowest in Europe ...

At this time, Lviv, although located in the black soil zone of Ukraine, belongs to Poland and is the most important grain-producing region in Poland. Historically, Lviv later belonged to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and later was divided between Austria and Poland when it was divided. After World War II, the Soviet Union, the victorious nation, arbitrarily seized the fertile area of ​​Lviv. As compensation, the Soviet Union assigned most of the Silesia region that originally belonged to East Germany to Poland. Of course, this is the generosity of the Soviet Union and others, the bad luck is actually Germany.

In this era, the fertile black soil in the Lviv region led to higher grain output. The local area is sparsely populated, and the timid land is fertile. Therefore, the grain price is very cheap, only 0.5 to 0.6 fenny a pound of rye, the price is only half of the German region.

However, it is very difficult to transport grain from southern Poland to Switzerland. Fortunately, the emperor found a powerful Moldavia (later Moldovan) merchant who could transport grain to the Danube, the main road of the Siret, through the Siret River, a tributary of the lower Danube near Lviv on. Then, back all the way to reach the territory of Bavaria. And Bavaria is very close to Switzerland, so it is more convenient to transport food. Overall, it is even a little cheaper than purchasing grain from Beihai. The main reason is that there are too many mountain roads from Bavaria to Switzerland, and land transportation costs are high. Otherwise, transportation costs will be cheaper.

However, transporting from Lviv, taking the Siret River, then entering the Danube River, and then going back to Bavaria and then back to the mountain road ... the cost is certainly low, it can take a long time. This is also the biggest reason why Maximilian I needed to delay the offense. Sieg didn't know, and he sent people silly to talk to the emperor to delay the time. As everyone knows, he does not have to do this, and His Majesty the Emperor is unable to attack in a short time ...

...

For the self-righteous stupid hats, Marin laughed when he learned the truth from the spy report in Switzerland. Of course, he didn't talk about it, just waiting for the two sides to be complacent, and finally found out that Bai had lived a busy day.

Of course, Marin has more important things to do-he is going to take his son to London to get married ...

Although many people are now waiting to see whether Queen Anne of France can become pregnant and give birth to a posthumous child, Marin knows that it is impossible. Because, Queen Anne lost her fertility long ago, or the medicine he ordered personally.

Therefore, others are watching, but he has long been determined. While others were waiting, Marin and Caesar were ready to go to London.

In fact, there is no custom of having a baby kiss in Europe. Marlin brought Caesar on this trip, and he would not really make a marriage contract with Edward. The reason for this is mainly because the premature death rate of European children. For example, Queen Anne of the later generations gave birth to 17 children, but did not live to adulthood.

Therefore, Europeans generally do not make a baby kiss. Because even a king cannot guarantee that his children will live to adulthood. It's a waste of effort to decide what to kiss. It's better to wait until the two sides have reached the corresponding age, and then discuss the marriage.

But Marin's trip was not to confirm the marriage contract in writing, but to take his son to declare the ownership of Princess Margaret.

As the only daughter of the King of England, marrying Princess Margaret means that there is a great possibility to inherit the entire Kingdom of England ~ www.novelhall.com ~ including Edward and Scotland and Ireland.

Therefore, there are quite a lot of people who pretend to be Princess Margaret. Everyone wants his son to marry Princess Margaret, and then become the ruler of England.

Originally, because of Louis XII, most people did not dare to jump out and argue. But now that Louis XII is dead, many people are just about to move.

what? You say that according to the Treaty of Nantes, Caesar's son, Caesar, is the second person to marry Princess Margaret?

Having said that, some big-eyed aristocrats in England do not think so. Just as the French did not accept the King of England as King of France a hundred years ago, many nobles within England did not agree to the marriage of Caesar and Princess Margaret and became King of England.

Inspired by the French practice, some great English aristocrats believe that a noble child of noble descent can be selected from within England to marry Princess Margaret. In this way, it can also be regarded as "fat water does not flow outside the field."

This can irritate Marin, so this time Marin not only intends to take Caesar to London, but also an army. The purpose is to show off force. At the same time, declare the ownership of Princess Margaret ...
