Outside Copenhagen, Marin is eating melons and watching a joust. At this time, it is summer, which is a good time for a large number of melons and fruits to be marketed. It's just that the magnates in Copenhagen can't taste it. Because, Copenhagen is besieged, and the melon farmers outside can't send watermelons or anything into the city.

At this moment, Marin was a good melon eater, nibbling on the most bright red watermelon while watching the grand occasion of the veterans beating each other with relish.

And on the edge of the martial arts field, there is a cart of watermelons placed there. Marin stipulates that the champion group that fights every day can collectively want to use these freshly marketed watermelons. Of course, the soldiers couldn't have enough fun eating watermelon, so they could only get a slice of watermelon each. It's not like Marin, who holds the biggest watermelon and nibbles there.

These watermelons were originally planted on estates near Copenhagen and used to supply the powerful people in Copenhagen. It's just that because the city is besieged, these watermelons can't be transported into the city.

It just so happened that Marin's cavalry was patrolling when they found a large melon field. Then, these watermelons will be gathered in Marin's army. Anyway, the magnates of Copenhagen can't eat it. Instead of rotting in the melon fields, it is better to leave it to the East Friesian army to solve it.

However, because the number was insufficient, after all, it was a supply for the powerful, so Marin had to satisfy himself while only rewarding those who won the competition. Moreover, each person can only get a slice of watermelon. But even then, the soldiers were satisfied. After all, not everyone can eat watermelon in this era. The bread eaten by ordinary people is mixed with soil, where is the condition to eat melons......

This is also to blame for the backward agriculture of Europe, with such low yields and high food prices...... Watermelon or something, can only be enjoyed by the powerful, serfs or something, or honestly eat black sticks mixed with soil. Unlike the Ming Dynasty at the same time, ordinary rural landlords could eat watermelon in summer. There is no way, people have developed agriculture, they will sprinkle manure, and the watermelons that grow are bigger......

Eating watermelon and watching a group of muscular men fight, it has the sense of watching a movie in the previous life. Moreover, the scene here is even bigger. After all, this is an army, thousands, not comparable in size to hundreds of thugs. Of course, it doesn't look hot. After all, the old boy uses a knife, and he is very bloody and sensitive. And stabbing each other with wooden sticks is much less fun. However, when it comes to lethality, a machete is not worthy of a spear and a shoe. This is also the reason why the ancient army used spears popularly, in addition to the spear is more economical in iron, its lethality is considerable, but it is an important reason.

In this era, because of the lack of entertainment, especially in the barracks, watching a group of muscle sticks fight is probably the only fun.

However, this kind of competition is not just Marin's personal pleasure. Its practical effect is also very good. After all, this kind of fighting collective competition can also train the soldiers' ability to fight together.

Marin doesn't like to hold any sports meets, because, even if there are many champions in those individual events, there is a bird? The military looks at the ability of the team, not the ability of the individual. Unless, it's the selection of special forces.

Therefore, Marin prefers to watch the group battles of the soldiers rather than the individual battles. Even in shooting competitions, the overall team shooting score is based on the individual shooting results. Of course, in the modern games, the only sport that is reserved by Marin is probably football. Because, football is a team battle of 11 people. Unlike basketball, because of the small number of people, it has degenerated into a personal show of muscular blacks.

Moreover, Marin in army football places great emphasis on overall football and is not allowed to go it alone. Who wants to express themselves, running around the field with the ball alone, and waiting for not applause, but punishment with a military stick......

After all, Marin's promotion of football in the army is to exercise the tacit understanding and synergy between the soldiers, not to let them show themselves. Lone husbands like Ribery and Robben would probably be crippled with sticks here in Marin......

After eating melons and watching a few team fights in the morning, in the afternoon, Marin watched a few more football games. The original 90-minute game was changed to a 45-minute half-time by Marin. That way, he can also watch a few more shows.

According to Marin's instructions, all soldiers must advance and retreat together when playing, and maintain the integrity of the formation at all times. Anyone who runs around will be beaten with a stick after the race. Under Marin's harsh requirements, all the fighters who participate in football matches are very careful about their position when playing football. When attacking, everyone presses collectively, and when defending, everyone desperately returns to defense. It looks a bit like the Dutch's all-out attack. Of course, running all over the field is a great drain on physical energy. Therefore, Marin arranged the game for 45 minutes, and the soldiers usually had physical training, which was not very difficult.

Just as Marin was watching the two powerful teams compete, the guard suddenly came to report that there was a mysterious person who wanted to see Marin......

So, Marin left the court to meet the mysterious man......

In fact, the guards knew the identity of the other party. After all, Herman IV's subordinates showed their identity signs. However, because of the need for secrecy. When telling Marin, the guards could only be said to be mysterious people, so as to prevent the news of Marin's men from leaking here.

Soon, Marin dressed in plate armor and with Karn and his men, came to meet the mysterious man......

Marin was afraid of death, for fear that the other party was an assassin. So, simply put on plate armor and bring Karn and other masters to help. Fortunately, Denmark is not hot in summer, otherwise, Marin in the plate armor may have suffered from heat stroke......

After seeing Marin, Herman IV's cronies hurriedly handed over the secret letter to Marin......

Marin, wearing leather gloves, opened the letter (to prevent poisoning) and began to read......

As he read, Marlin's face became more and more ugly......

Herman IV told Marin that Frederick III, after fleeing, did not stay in his own country, but immediately led a team to Worms, and asked Jacob, Archbishop of Mainz, to gather many princes who were not at odds with Marin and convene an anti-horse conference.

What's even more odious is that Frederick III's guy actually changed the concept and said that the duel between the Bossa coalition army and the Marin army was a duel between the princes and the emperor's forces, which caused tension among the princes.

The most excessive thing is that Frederick III, an old bastard, actually wanted to call on all the princes of Germany to form a group to beat Marin......

Had it not been for Herman IV and other religious princes, who knew of Marin's close relationship with the current pope, and rejected Frederick III's suggestion, Marin would have faced a crowd of more than 100,000 troops......

"Great, old bastard! He took the initiative to invade others, and if he lost, he still had the face to encourage others to help him take revenge! It's so shameless! Marin slapped the table angrily.

It was a simple affair - Saxony and Brandenburg formed a group to attack the alliance of Marin and Lübeck and Hamburg, and then they were defeated.

However, this shameless old thing actually said that he was the vanguard sent by Maximilian I to unify Germany, and called on everyone to fight him together......

Originally, this thing was so ridiculous, and it was just that. However, most of the secular princes attending the meeting actually responded positively, which made Marin extremely angry.

If he had been present, Marin would have wanted to roar angrily at this group of secular princes:

"You've got all your brains gnawed by dogs? It's obviously a battle between the two of us.,You guys have a j8 to be lively? I didn't know ...... if I was used as a gun."

Moreover, it seems that Frederick III not only wanted to avoid the fate of Saxony by inciting the princes, but even intended to encourage the princes to form a group to destroy himself.

Marin was furious, and he decided, this time, no matter what, to teach Saxony an unforgettable lesson, and not to succumb to the pressure of the brainless princes. It's a big deal, after the defeat, he took people to hide in the Americas to develop, and then fought back......
