After receiving accurate information, Zig began to order people to strengthen the city walls, while looking for the iron skin to cover the city gates. In addition, they also sent people to sneak into the eastern region to find out the information to confirm the authenticity of the information.

On top of that, Ziggy withdrew all the barracks that had been deployed in the field. These barracks were originally intended to deploy the attacking army. Now, stay in the field, just waiting to be wiped out by the enemy's superior forces. Only by withdrawing to the fortified city can safety be guaranteed.

Ziggy then selected a group of mountain people who knew the local terrain very well, formed a guerrilla army, and equipped them with many crossbows to raid the enemy's supply lines. These crossbows can fire rockets, and are mainly used to burn the enemy's grain and grass, especially the forage for war horses.

It's just that a lot of food is needed to defend the fortified city, and the Swiss don't have much food, so they can only turn to France for help. The carrier pigeon flew to Paris, and François I thought about it and agreed to provide food and grass support to the Swiss. It takes time, though.

Therefore, at the suggestion of French officials, in order to delay time, Zieg deliberately sent people to the palace of Emperor Innsbruck, the capital of Tyrol, to pretend to negotiate "Zhao'an".

Zigger's emissary, pretending to agree to the Habsburgs, demanded some autonomy. At the same time, for a group of generals of the Resistance Army, they demanded baronial titles and territories.

In fact, Zieger and a group of Swiss Resistance generals never thought of defecting to the Habsburgs. They only had to stall because the food for French aid had not yet arrived.

The Emperor was suspicious of Ziggy's emissary, but the emissary sent by Ziegy was clever enough to insist on guaranteeing the autonomy of western Switzerland at first, which convinced the Emperor somewhat......

If the envoy said that he would surrender unconditionally, the emperor would not believe it. Because, pie doesn't fall from the sky. But the Resistance's request to be so impudent (and impudent in the eyes of the Habsburgs) seems a bit like it is true.

The Emperor, of course, refused to allow western Switzerland to become autonomous, and he also wanted to paralyze the Swiss Resistance through negotiations. So, pretend to consider. But secretly, arrangements began to be made for the transfer of Goodendorff's army to the front.

But Goodendorff's soldiers said they had to settle their families before they attacked. Therefore, for a while, Goodendorff's army could not be put into battle. So, both Zieg's resistance and Maximilian I were happy to pretend to negotiate in order to stall for time. In fact, there is no sincerity on both sides......

Ziggy wanted to stall for time and drag the grain to the French side. Maximilian I, on the other hand, had to wait for Goodendorff's men to settle down and rush to the front. In addition, he also wanted to take the Swiss Resistance by surprise...... Therefore, people on both sides pretend to negotiate, deliberately arguing there for small conditions, wasting time......

But neither side knew that neither side was actually ready. So, it's a waste of time for them to negotiate and act there......

Not only was the food and grass for Zigger's Swiss Resistance Army not in place, but also the food and grass needed for Goodendorff's 16,000 troops was not in place. It is true that Maximilian I got a loan from Marin, but it is useless to have money, and he has to purchase food. It took time, so Maximilian I allowed Goodendorff and his men to settle their families first. Because, it also took time for Maximilian I's subordinates to take the money to purchase and transport grain.

In particular, Maximilian I had wanted to buy military rations with Marin, who had enough food. However, because Maximilian I did not agree to besiege France together, Marin was somewhat reluctant to sell grain to the emperor, and made a bunch of excuses, saying that the stored grain was not enough. The emperor had no choice but to purchase food from elsewhere.

For cost reasons, the emperor ordered people to be sent to the Lviv region of Poland, where the price of grain in Europe was the lowest at this time, to buy grain......

At this time, Lviv, although located in the black soil belt of Ukraine, belonged to Poland and was the most important grain-producing area in Poland. Historically, Lviv later belonged to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and later to Austria when Poland was partitioned. And after World War II, the Soviet Union, as the victorious country, brutally took away the fertile region of Lviv. In compensation, the Soviet Union transferred most of Silesia, which had been part of East Germany, to Poland. Of course, this was the Soviet Union's generosity, and it was Germany that was unlucky.

In this era, the Lviv region was rich in black soil, which led to a high grain production. The land is vast and sparsely populated, and the timid land is fertile. Therefore, the price of grain is very cheap, only 0.5 to 0.6 pfennig a pound of rye, and the price is only half that of the German region.

It's just that it is very difficult to transport grain from southern Poland to Switzerland. Fortunately, the emperor found a powerful Moldavian (later Moldovan) merchant who could transport grain to the Danube, the main artery of the Syret, through the Syret, a tributary of the lower Danube, which originated near Lviv. Then, travel all the way back to Bavarian territory. Bavaria, on the other hand, is very close to Switzerland, so it is more convenient to transport grain. All in all, it is a little cheaper than purchasing grain from the North Sea country. The main reason is that the road from Bavaria to Switzerland is too mountainous and the cost of overland transportation is high. Otherwise, the shipping cost will be cheaper.

However, from Lviv, take the Syret, then enter the Danube, then go up to Bavaria and then turn on the mountain road...... Although the cost is low, it can take a long time. And this is the biggest reason why Maximilian I needed to delay the offensive. Ziggy didn't know, and stupidly sent people to fake negotiations with the emperor to delay time. As everyone knows, he doesn't have to do this, and His Majesty the Emperor can't launch an attack in a short time......

……

Marin laughed out loud when he learned the truth from the spy report in Switzerland. Of course, he didn't say anything, just waited for the two sides to be secretly proud, and finally found out that the day was busy in vain.

Of course, Marin has more important things to do - he wants to take his son to London to marry......

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

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

In fact, there is no custom of setting a baby kiss in Europe. Marin took Caesar with him on this trip, and he would not really make a marriage contract with Edward. This is mainly due to the extremely high rate of child mortality in Europe. For example, Queen Anne in later generations gave birth to 17 children, but none of them lived to adulthood.

Therefore, Europeans generally do not set a baby kiss. Because, even a king, he does not dare to guarantee that his children will live to adulthood. It's a waste of effort to set a doll kiss or something. It's better to wait until both parties have lived to the corresponding age before discussing marriage.

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

As the only daughter of the King of England, marrying Princess Margaret meant that she had a good chance of inheriting the entire kingdom of England, including Scotland and Ireland under Edward.

Therefore, there are quite a few people who covet Princess Margaret. Everyone wants their son to marry Princess Margaret and become the ruler of England.

Originally, because of Louis XII, ordinary people did not dare to jump out and fight. But now that Louis XII is dead, many people are ready to stir in their hearts.

What the? You say that according to the Treaty of Nantes, Caesar, the son of Marin, was the one who had the second in line to marry Princess Margaret?

Having said that, some of the most obscure nobles in England did not think so. Just as the French did not accept the King of England as King of France a hundred years ago, there were many nobles in England who did not agree to the marriage of Caesar and Princess Margaret and became King of England.

Inspired by the French approach, some of the great English nobles believed that they could choose a noble son of noble blood from within England to marry Princess Margaret. In this way, it can also be regarded as "fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders".

This angered Marlin, so this time Marlin planned to take Caesar not only to London, but also an army. Its purpose is to show off its force. At the same time, Princess Margaret's ownership was declared......
