Denmark, Copenhagen Royal Palace, Danish King Hans is listening to his men's report......

"Your Majesty, today I heard a rumor spread among the people......"

"Rumors? What rumors? Hans frowned. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He has been irritated lately, and the Swedish traitors have been unable to attack for a long time, which has caused Denmark to spend a lot of money and food on suppressing the rebellion. Moreover, a large number of warships were mobilized to blockade the Swedish coast, and the consumption was quite large. The huge cost made Hans a little overwhelmed. So, recently, he plans to recall more than half of the warships to transport grain. Because, the autumn harvest is coming......

Intelligence Officer Pilson continued to get down on one knee and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, there have been rumors recently among the people that your cousin was killed by the defeated Baron Yevre Edo in the civil war between Marin, Earl of East Frisland, and Baron Järfre, but your cousin, Lord John V, Earl of Oldenburg, deliberately insisted that it was killed by Count East Friesland in order to blackmail East Friesland......"

"Hmph—" King Hans was a little angry, and at the same time, there was some embarrassment in his eyes. Because, this is indeed revealing the facts......

"And ......"

"And?" King Hans's face was a little uneasy.

"Yes, the Earl of East Friesland once sent an emissary to His Excellency John V, Earl of Oldenburg......"

"Say what?" King Hans asked coldly.

"Say...... Denmark was mired in the Swedish battlefield and could not be managed in a few years...... Let John V not count on Denmark to support them...... this sentence is not a folk rumor, but Marin's envoy really said to John V, and the Danish officials in Oldenburg brought back the news......

"Bastard! My Danish army is invincible, where will it take a few years? Up to one year...... Well, next year will almost be able to suppress the Swedish rebellion......" Speaking of which, King Hans was also a little unconfident......

……

A few days later, a letter from John V, Count of Oldenburg, also arrived. John V cried to his cousin John that Marin did not take the powerful Kalmar alliance seriously and despised the Oldenburg family...... And then a whole bunch of balabala, in short, all show that Marin despises Denmark......

Despite knowing the news for a long time, the Danish king Hans was furious when he saw the letter:

"Damn boy, do you think you dare to go against the mighty Kalmar Alliance with a little strength? I'll let you know what regret is! ”

Enraged, King Hans summoned several of his confidants to discuss countermeasures. Because, the spread of rumors, it was very bad for Hans's plan.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Dawerson said:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this rumor is probably the news deliberately released by Marin, Earl of East Friesland. The purpose is to force Your Majesty to ignore your words and finally abandon your original plan. ”

"Hmph, how can my plans be changed because of a combination of rumors? And I'm going to punish him doubly! King Hans was a little annoyed. Because, his dark thoughts were seen through.

"Your Majesty, I think that since the other party has seen through our thoughts, we might as well do it sooner, lest we have too many ......dreams at night," suggested Admiralty Minister Thomason.

"What do you mean?" King Hans seems to have caught something......

"Your Majesty, aren't you planning to bring back 100 warships to transport grain at the time of the autumn harvest? The minister thought that it was better to transfer these 100 warships to surround the port of Emden. Denmark needs to transport grain, and East Friesland, which is vigorously developing trade, must also need to transport grain. We might as well take advantage of the present time to block 100 warships outside the port of Emden and put pressure on the East Friesian Lamb State. If he doesn't agree, burn all his merchant ships......"

"Yes, we will also send a large army to surround Orich and capture that boy from Marin!" War Secretary Simonson is not willing to be the Secretary of the Admiralty, but also wants to show his presence.

"Simonsen, your army is now in Sweden, what are you going to do to surround Aurich? Moreover, the East Friesian Lambers have an army of 10,000 men, which is very powerful......" Thomas said, looking at his old rival Simonson with disdain.

"But...... If the army is not dispatched, will the kid succumb? ”

"I guess so, I've heard, that kid's finances are very dependent on foreign trade, and Emden has dozens of merchant ships coming in and out every day. If you besiege the port of Emden and threaten to burn all his merchant ships, I don't believe he will give in......"

"But not only do we demand reparations from him, but we also want him to cede such a large Jaffre, will he be willing?" Simonson retorted.

"Didn't he have Yevr before? Didn't you come here anyway? Besides, is it the fiscal importance or the Yevr that he has not controlled before? Without foreign trade, his finances would have collapsed. When the time comes, what will he use to feed the 10,000 army? Without our army's hands, his 10,000 army will be disbanded because he can't get his salary! Thomason said firmly.

"Well said!" Hans applauded Thomasson's words. If he was in financial difficulty, even he the king of Denmark would not be able to raise an army of 10,000, let alone Earl Marin, of the tiny East Friesian Earlland? Therefore, as long as Emden is besieged, the opponent will have to give in.

Subsequently, several other ministers also expressed their support for the idea...... Really, the king has applauded, what other opinions can anyone else have?

In this way, King Hans of Denmark ordered after the meeting to mobilize 100 of the 200 warships blockaded off the coast of Sweden to surround the port of Emden and put pressure on Marin. When the time came, he forced Marin to cede Jävre to the Earl of Oldenburg. At the same time, the Danish king was compensated for the cost of 100,000 gold coins to compensate for the cost of the Danish navy......

100,000 gold coins, in this era, is definitely a lion's mouth. In that year, King Richard I of England was captured by Emperor Henry VI of the HRE and only asked for a ransom of 100,000 pounds. And the death of a little princess in the Earl of Oldenburg not only wants the East Friesian Earl to cede 500 square kilometers of land, but also asks for 100,000 gold coins in compensation, which is simply too deceitful......
