The Rise of the European Emperor

When Marin captured Oldenburg city, Schwartz also took 5,000 elites, rode horses, and drove 60 kilometers overnight. After meeting with the army waiting for Hamburg, he arrived before dawn. The north gate of Gluckstadt, and with the help of the scouts already prepared in the city, successfully opened the north gate of Gluckstadt and entered the city.

Although he had a large shield soldier, Schwartz had no blasting team. Therefore, after controlling the four gates, Schwartz's army could only surround the castle in the city as a royal palace. There was no strong attack, only siege.

Although the Duke of Holstein is King Hans of Denmark, the Principality of Holstein is independent from Denmark. Therefore, there are also independent small courts, palaces, and independent garrisons.

It was just that because of the transfer of 1,000 people, the only 1,200 defenders left in the city were not Schwartz's elite opponents at all. Moreover, Schwarz arrived before dawn, at this time, people are the most sleepy. Therefore, after taking the North Gate, Schwarz's army easily swept down the defenders of the four gates, and surrounded the castle palace of Holstein Palace Bentheim and a large local aristocracy.

Then, Schwartz was not in a hurry. Because he still has to wait for Marin's army to come to join. At the same time, there are 5,000 people behind that need to come over.

Won the capital of the Principality of Holstein, so there is no need to worry about the general mobilization of the Holstein Congress. Because the palace ministers who issued the mobilization order were all besieged. Therefore, Schwartz can leisurely wait for Marin's army to come together.

When the 2,000 soldiers of Hamburg came over, Schwartz directly handed over the task of besieging the palace castle to the mercenaries in Hamburg. Because at this time there were only one noble and more than two hundred soldiers in the palace, and the rest were either killed or surrendered. Therefore, it is no problem to hand over the siege of the castle to the Hamburg mercenaries. After all, these 2,000 mercenaries are also veterans specially hired by Hamburg. They are not newbies, and they will not be breached by two hundred people.

Furthermore, even if the other party can break through the siege of the mercenaries in Hamburg, they cannot escape. Because, the four gates are under the control of Schwarz's army.

In addition, Lübeck ’s 5000 mercenaries did not act with Schwartz ’s other 5000 infantry. These people went straight north and rushed to Kiel, intending to take Kiel, an important port in the Baltic region.

In fact, the Lübeck people are very sure of winning Kiel. Although, Kiel stationed a member of the Oldenburg family to manage the place. But at the same time, Kiel is also one of the Hanseatic cities. The Lübeck people are very powerful in Kiel. When the Lübeck army arrives, there will inevitably be Hanseatic merchants opening the city gate to welcome the Lübeck army. It is precisely because of the internal response in Kiel City that Lübeck talents have enough self-confidence to send troops to Kiel alone. Otherwise, the strong wall of Kiel, even with 5,000 soldiers, will take a long time to attack.

As for Neumünster halfway, the Lübeck army did not look at it. Because they did n’t respond in New Münster. If you shouldn't attack, how difficult is that? Such a hard bone is still left to Marin ...

Regarding the side of Oldenburg, after the scouts of Sauer delivered the order documents, Stade was overjoyed. Subsequently, the 8,000 recruits led by Stade's 5,000 recruits and 3,000 Hamburg mercenaries, surrounded the small town of Farrell with only a few hundred defenders.

Then, it was he who made the artillery come up and bombarded the gates of Farrell. With only 500 troops, Faller defender Halk was frightened, and the idea of ​​surrender came out of his mind irresistibly.

He knew that he could not stand the 500 defenders in front of the seven or eight thousand people on the opposite side. It's just that if you surrender before playing a few times, you will lose face. In the future, you will bear the fame of shame.

Fortunately, Stade was very intimate, and soon sent someone to send a surrender order signed by John V. Seeing that there was a step down, Halk immediately summoned his subordinates, showed John V's order documents, and found a step down for his surrender. Others were relieved and fell without a fight, which was a shame to these noble children. However, with the order of the monarch, there is no responsibility for yourself. As a result, the warlords of Farrell opened the city gate happily and disarmed and surrendered ...

It was Adler's main attack on the side of Jever, and encountered a lot of trouble. There is no problem in Wangerland because the walls of Wangerland are too thin, and Adler ’s army easily carried a 6-pound gun and opened a gap in a day. Then, the stubborn defenders were hacked to death.

It was the castle of Jever that was captured by Marin last time. It was still strong. Adler spent a lot of energy, unable to overcome. In desperation, he gave up the strong attack and changed to siege. Because, he knew that there was not much food in the castle. After all, when Marin withdrew before, all the food in the city was scraped. When Oldenburg took over, he didn't bring much food. Relying on the siege, it can force the defenders to surrender. But the premise is that they have to eat up the food in the city first ...

Without mentioning the siege of Adler by Adler, Marin also threatened John V in the royal palace in Oldenburg, forcing him to give up the sovereignty of the Old Kingdom of Oldenburg.

But what I did not expect was that John V, who was still afraid of death before, heard that Marin wanted sovereignty, even if he was scared, he did not bite his mouth and refused to transfer sovereignty to Marin. . Even if Kahn frightened him again and again, and closed the black house and the light was not allowed to sleep, John V refused to let go ...

If Europe and ancient China used jade seals popularly, then do n’t worry, just find the jade seal of John V and seal it.

Europe has always been popular with the nobles' personal signature method, and later added some auxiliary means of stamping. Marin originally wanted to find some documents signed by John V to forge documents. However, when the palace was under siege, John V didn't know what kind of wind was blowing his brain, and actually burned all the documents in the palace. Marin could not find a document to refer to for a while, and could only threaten John V to sign it himself. However, when it comes to territorial sovereignty, John V has the courage to climb up, almost seeing death as his return ...

As a last resort, Marin had to start thinking about how to make John V willingly sign himself to sell the sovereignty of Oldenburg.

At first, Marin thought of fooling, but the other party was obviously not so easy to fool. After all, the big nobles are basically well-informed and will not be easily moved by rhetoric.

Finally, Marin thought of cheating ...

After thinking about it from the left, Marin thought of a bridge segment seen in the previous TV series-the villains deliberately superimposed two pieces of paper together. The bottom of the signature is on the bottom layer of paper. The text above is another piece of paper. The content of the treaty on another piece of paper is very beneficial to the pitted. And if the paper covered on it is removed, it will reveal the real content of the treaty below-it is a pit father's treaty that makes the signer have nothing ...

Thinking of this, Marin decided to use this method to deceive John V. He found four pieces of parchment paper and used a very clever technique to temporarily bond the two pieces of parchment paper with the juice of rice porridge.

Of course, if you look closely, you can still see it. It's just that at night, under dim light ...

Marin wrote the real contract on the parchment below—John V announced that he would hand over the sovereignty of the East Frisian Lambert to Marin and only keep the royal palace in Oldenburg. Then, the entire Oldenburg family lives in this royal palace and receives the total living expenses of 10,000 gold coins per year. As for how to allocate the living expenses, the owner of John V is responsible. In addition, on behalf of the Oldenburg family, John V also unconditionally ceded to Marin all the estates and lands in the country controlled by the family members ...

And the fake contract covered above, it was written that Marin only took back Jever. At the same time, Oldenburg needs to pay 100,000 gold coins in five years. Such a contract, although a little harsh, is by no means unacceptable.

Four pieces of parchment were used by Marin to make two parchments, similar to a formal contract in duplicate.

Then, Marin asked Kahn to catch John V ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ in a light array composed of candles and bronze mirrors, and took a few hours to keep them from sleeping. After midnight, when John V was drowsy, he took him into a small room with a faint oil lamp, forcing him to sign the contract.

Because of the previous light exposure for several hours, the vision of John V was affected in the short term. Coupled with the dim light of a small oil lamp in the cabin, John V did not see the hole ...

The fake treaty given by Marin is a bit harsh, but because the explanation was paid within 5 years, John V began to use his brain ...

In his opinion, within five years, the Old Kingdom of Oldenburg must be able to use the power of Denmark to force Marin to give up the compensation of 100,000 gold coins. It may even win Jever again. So, with a feeling of joy, he signed his name on both contracts, stamped it, and pressed his handprint ...

Marin also signed his name on two contracts ...

Then, Marin laughed loudly, tearing apart the top layer of the contract, revealing the real content of the contract ...

"Ah-I'm going to kill you ... you asshole, dare to lie to me, not to die!"

John V desperately wanted to **** the contract and destroy it, but where could Marlin make him wish. Kahn came over and skillfully knocked out John V ...

With the unequal treaty personally signed by John V, Marin has confidence. After all, these handwritings, fingerprints and seals are not fake. Even if the seal and fingerprints can be faked, the name signed by John V himself is difficult to forge. Of course, this is for people of this era. But this time Marin made John V willing to sign himself, and it really made Marin feel sad. After all, the enemy is pitted, the sense of accomplishment is full ...
