The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 59: Okay, I admit it!



The order of the Danish King Hans was quickly transmitted to the southern coast of Sweden. So, the Danish fleet, splitting half of the warships, a total of 100 ships, first returned to Copenhagen to gather, and then prepared to go to East Frisian Lambert to surround Emden.

Koller was sent to Copenhagen by Marin's name. After seeing 100 warships, he probed a little and learned the movement of the Danes. So he immediately took the merchant ship to Lübeck. After landing, the horses were ready. Moreover, someone responded along the way.

For a long time, after changing horses, Marin received information from Denmark over the next afternoon ...

"Sure enough, I didn't expect it!" Marin waved excitedly. Then he called the fleet commander Kidd:

"Kid, you hurriedly lead 8 warships and 15 250-class armed merchant ships, leave Emden port, and go to Te Horenche for a period of time, no order, no return!"

Captain Kidd was a little puzzled-okay, why should all the ships be removed? Do n’t protect Emden Harbor?

In fact, Marin is to show weakness intentionally. Denmark is always used to being arrogant and doesn't care how many warships there are in East Friesland. Even if there are, it must be far less than 100 warships.

As for the dozens of merchant ships in Emden port, Marin will not be completely removed. If there is not even a merchant ship, the Danes must be suspicious. Even if these merchant ships were destroyed by the Danes, it is not a problem. How much is a merchant ship? Marin can afford it.

In short, this time, Marin must live up to the image of a "grieved little daughter-in-law", and must be sympathetic to the outside world. Then, when Marin attacks Denmark, no one thinks Marin is a bad person ...

Ten days later, the Danish fleet was late. Hundreds of warships directly blocked the estuary of the Ames River, which scared the fishermen of East Friesland and West Friesland from daring to go fishing. Too.

Seeing how the local fishing boat fled in panic, the Danish navy officers and soldiers laughed, even pretended to catch up, and scared a West Frisian fishing boat to overturn on the spot.

Marin stood on the head of Emden and looked at the direction of the Ames estuary with a telescopic monocular, and found that the momentum of the 100 warships was really huge, a little endless feeling.

This momentum alarmed George, the Duke of Saxony, who was still confronted by the West Frisian Resistance Army, who was leading troops in West Friesland and was trapped in Leeuwarden.

At the beginning, George was also taken aback, thinking what Denmark thought about the Hanseatic city of Groningen. However, when he learned that the Danish fleet was here to surround Emden, he immediately laughed in the sky:

"Hahaha, Marin, you have today!" Although he had to support Marin in the Imperial Parliament to join the Imperial House of Lords last time, George's resentment against Marin has not diminished. After all, the shame of being captured is hard to wash. If it were not for the mess in West Friesland that the rebels were against him, Duke George wanted to run and ally with the Danes to rob East Friesland.

However, thinking of his supply line from the Principality of Saxony to West Friesland to pass through the East Friesland, Duke George had to endure and restrained his desire to stand up and mock Marin ...

Soon, Danish Foreign Minister Holsen and Oldenburg Foreign Minister Gouldberg came to Aurich with a high-spirited attitude ...

"What? You want me to cede Jever, and I need to compensate 100,000 gold coins? This is impossible!" Marin actually wanted to immediately admonish, but this is not reasonable and will make people doubt. Therefore, some anger and unwillingness should still be pretended. Therefore, after seeing the diplomatic documents handed over by the other party, Marin pretended to yell in anger.

"Master Marin, I know your dissatisfaction. However, Princess Hedwig is the most important cousin of Her Majesty the King. You killed your Princess by mistake. It is necessary to pay the price." Danish Foreign Minister Holsen said indifferently The eyes were full of disdain, so Marin really wanted to beat him.

"I want to emphasize again that Princess Hedwig was not killed by me, but was killed by his husband Edo madly!" Marin said loudly.

"Master Earl, may I have a third party present to prove it to you? Also, do you think it is normal for a husband to kill his wife?" Gouldberg, Foreign Minister of the Old Kingdom of Oldenburg, asked aggressively. .

"This ..." Marin couldn't really refute this. There were indeed no other people present at the time, only his own army and Jever's army. Jever's army, alive, became prisoners of his own rank. Therefore, neither person can be a fair witness. But, who thought of this kind of thing? Is it necessary to bring a notary to fight? What's wrong ...

Moreover, even if Marin had a reason, he didn't want to really dismiss it. So, he now performs in his own right, performing an image of Li Qiong:

"I don't care, I just didn't kill Princess Hedwig, nor did my men!"

"Since you insist on denial, then we have nothing to say!" Holson decided to terminate this negotiation, so he took Gouldberg first. He intends to notify the Danish fleet first and give Marin a lesson ...

Sure enough, the next day, the Danish fleet that originally blocked the mouth of the Ames River launched an attack on the port of Emden. Of course, they did not have a few artillery pieces on board, and they were all of small caliber. Therefore, the Danes directly discharged the sailors and burned 10 merchant ships staying in the port of Emden. Of course, the people on the merchant ship had already run away.

Then, with a complex mood that was both happy and angry, Marin ordered Palace Prime Minister Jeffrey to lodge a strong protest to Holson:

"Protest, why did the Danes burn our country's merchant ships for no reason? Among them, there is another one from the Hanseatic League Hamburg and another from Lubeck ..."

Holson was surprised, he did not expect, just burn a few ships, and the Hanseatic League ...

In fact, the two ships were originally owned by East Frisian merchants. However, before sending Jeffrey to protest, Marin suddenly had a good idea-especially, the Danes burned the merchant ships of Lübeck and Hamburg. Isn't this the best excuse? Otherwise, let Lubeck and Hamburg go to war on the grounds that they are taxed ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The reason seems to be insufficient ... the ship was burned by the opposing navy, what a good excuse ...

Just like this, Marin made a temporary play, falsely denying the Danes to burn the ships of Lübeck and Hamburg. At the same time, Marin also sent men and women to Lübeck and Hamburg to let them protest together, first to provoke the topic and then ...

Was surprised, but the Danes really didn't care. Isn't it just two ships? Who told them to stop? It ’s better to stop at Emden?

For a few days, Jeffrey, on behalf of Marin, issued more than a dozen protests and issued eight "serious statements" ...

Of course, the Danes ignored it. When Holson threatened to burn the dozens of remaining merchant ships in the port, Marin finally succumbed to a "unwillingness" ...

Then, in front of the representatives of several other countries, Marin signed a compromise agreement "faced with humiliation", agreed to cede Jever and promised to compensate 100,000 gold coins ...

The representatives of other countries were actually invited by Denmark and Oldenburg, in order to let everyone look at Marin together ...

Marimba must not be so. Today, the bigger the face is, the more reason to send troops tomorrow ... But, the face is still so excited-am I psychopathic?

Marin signed this humiliating treaty with extremely complicated psychology. In the sympathetic eyes of several foreign representatives, Marin has been thinking about the question of "whether he is abnormal", so he is a little distracted. In the eyes of the representatives of other countries, it is understood as "lost soul" ...

Yes, anyone who has been extorted such a large piece of land and 100,000 gold coins will also be lost. Therefore, Marin's expression is in place and very suitable. I dare not say that you can take the Oscar little gold man, but it is more than enough to get a golden elephant and a hundred flowers ...
