"But if the southern part of Sweden and the Faylon copper mine are given to Denmark, what will we have left?" Eric. Johansson said angrily.

"Well......" Marin said, pretending to ponder for a moment,

"Then give the Faylon copper mine to Sweden...... There is such a large copper-rich mine as the Fayilun copper mine, and I believe that the finances of the Kingdom of Sweden will be enviable......"

Marin's words are not false, after all, the price of copper in Europe is so expensive now, and the Faylon copper mine is a super rich mine, which can provide a large amount of stable revenue for the Kingdom of Sweden every year. And this is the envy of most European monarchs. Because, at the moment, most of the monarchs in Europe are in a bad financial situation. There is not much money in agriculture alone.

"But...... Your half of the shares ...... "Eric. What does Johansson mean - you always own half of the shares, and we still make a P?

If the Fayilun Copper Mine produces 100 tons of copper per year, it is worth 156,000 gold coins. Excluding the cost of mining and smelting, it will make seventy or eighty thousand gold coins. Even if the output is increased by three times, it will only be a profit of more than 200,000 gold coins. If half of it is taken by Marin, plus there are many families in Sweden to be divided, and it falls into the hands of the Swedish court, there will not be much......

Marin also had the intention of supporting Sweden to contain Denmark, so, after a little thought, he made some concessions:

"In this way, my stake in the Fayilun Copper Mine has been reduced from half to one-third. In this way, Sweden also has enough fiscal and tax revenues to maintain. ”

In addition to supporting Sweden against Denmark so that he could balance it, Marin also had a way out and could not rely on Swedish copper - after all, Japan, which Marin was about to plot, was a major copper-producing country.

Historically, in the 17th century, it was the Dutch who shipped cheap Japanese copper to Europe, which severely suppressed the price of Swedish copper and caused Sweden to suffer heavy losses.

Not to mention the copper in Japan, the Chile that Marin will develop, where the copper mines are even more amazing......

Therefore, for the relinquishment of part of the interests in the Fayilun copper mine, it is really nothing to Marin. Moreover, he doesn't really have to ask for the one-third of the shares in the Fayilun copper mine. The reason why he insisted on these shares was actually because he was worried that the Kingdom of Sweden would make too much profit and affect the balance between Sweden and Denmark.

Don't look at the Swedish side that got two-thirds of the shares of the Fayilun copper mine, but in the end it fell into the hands of the royal Vasa family, it would be good to have 20% of the income. After all, in addition to the Vasa family, Sweden had 10 other large noble families that formed a noble senate that rivaled the king......

Therefore, Marin has no fear that the Farilon copper mine will be able to feed the Swedes. After all. Most of the proceeds from the copper mine are first used to feed the major families in Sweden. Even if it belongs to the Vasa family, it must be squandered by the members of the Vasa family first, and the rest can be used for official Swedish expenses and military expenses.

……

After learning that he was able to keep the Fayilun copper mine, Eric . John Son breathed a sigh of relief. Moreover, Marin's willingness to take the initiative to cut his shares also gave him a step down. After all, on the face of it, Sweden has taken advantage of the negotiations......

Then there is the place where Denmark and Sweden diverge the most......

……

The Swedes also understood in their hearts that this time the Danes sent a large army to occupy southern Sweden and encircle Stockholm, obviously with great ambitions.

Before coming out to negotiate this time, the noble senate also gave the bottom line - we must strive for independent sovereignty and keep the Fayilun copper mine...... In the end, it is a matter of ceding as little land as possible......

After all, everyone knows that it is impossible not to cede the land this time. The Danish army did not come to Sweden for tourism, they came to grab land......

……

So, next, King Hans of Denmark and King Eric of Sweden. Johansson had a protracted quarrel over the new border......

The Swedish side believed that the Danes could occupy the southernmost coastal part of Sweden, as well as the southwestern coastal area. But that's about it. As for the inland coastline that is too far from the southern coastline, don't covet it......

But the Danish king Hans was resolute – he divided the border with the current front. In other words, the Swedish region south of Stockholm is assigned to Denmark......

Sweden is only willing to give the southernmost coastal area, while Denmark wants all the areas south of Stockholm. As a result, the differences between the two countries are naturally huge.

Then, the old and new kings had a fierce clash of languages, and almost staged a full martial deed. Fortunately, Lübeck was well prepared and did not let the two scuffle succeed.

In the end, Denmark let out a cruel word - there is a kind of letting the Swedish army defeat us...... Then, Eric . Johansson burst into tears - if I can defeat you, I will still use someone to mediate?

……

In the following time, Marin rarely participated, and often watched the play silently. But the Speaker of the Tagfacht Chamberlain, the host, could not, so he began to persuade both sides to make concessions......

"Sweden will never accept the Danish proposal, and if Stockholm is the border, then the capital of our Kingdom of Sweden will be threatened by the Danish army on the border at any time. Therefore, the conditions of the Danes, don't even think about it! Therefore, it is better to follow the Swedish plan! "Eric. John Song roared angrily.

"According to the Swedish scheme? When will the Swedes have the confidence to decide all this? Do you have a strong army enough to suppress Denmark, or do you have strong allies to help you speak? Obviously, you don't have anything! The King of Denmark said excitedly.

"If it weren't for the willingness of Grand Duke Marin and the two honorable Speakers to intercede, do you think Sweden has any chance? As long as you besiege Stockholm for a few more months, you, the native Swedish nobles, will starve to death in the city, and what are you talking about? Frankly speaking, I suffered a big loss in this negotiation! If I don't negotiate, I can sit back and wait for you bastards to starve, and then all of Sweden will be back in my hands! Hans said excitedly.

In fact, King Hans was right. If Marin hadn't drawn a line for him and didn't allow him to continue north, he might have taken Stockholm at all costs and then reannexed the Kingdom of Sweden (including Finland).

Therefore, in this negotiation, Hans was actually very aggrieved - obviously I was strong enough to completely kill the other party, but in the end, I had to negotiate with the enemy about what kind of Rausch...... Taking advantage of the negotiations, King Hans vented his emotions......

When Hans yelled out his inner discontent, Erik. Johansson suddenly realized - yes, it is Denmark that has the advantage now...... Moreover, it seems that the North Sea Kingdom, Lübeck and Hamburg are not partial to Sweden......

But Eric. Johansson also did not have the final say, after all, he was not an autocratic monarch, and he still needed to consult with the Senate......

So, Eric. Under the pretext that he needed to consult with the Senate, Johansson sent a clipper ship home to ask the Senate how to demarcate the border......

After all, this kind of land sale is better for everyone to take the blame together. If you take the blame alone, you will definitely become a scapegoat. When the time comes......

A few days later, a reply came from Stockholm that the Senate's bottom line was that the border must be moved south, to Norrköping, an important port city in Sweden.

The future borders should ideally be from the city of Norrköping (which belongs to Sweden) to the east and the lakes of Wetern and Wienern to the west, and the two sides are divided equally into two large lakes, Denmark to the south and Sweden to the north......

As a result, the border has moved 170 kilometers south from the Danish-claimed city of Stockholm. Moreover, the western half moved further south.

Of course, the Danes were not happy, because as soon as the border line was moved south, Denmark lost almost more than 10,000 square kilometers of land. Moreover, there was also the loss of a bustling port city like Norrköping.

However, Denmark was immediately tempted by the willingness of the Swedes to compensate for the southward movement of the border from Gotland, which had previously been recaptured from the Danes......

After all, the more than 10,000 square kilometers of inland land that the two sides are fighting for is actually rugged and cold, and the value is not high. The real value is a few important towns such as the port of Norrköping.

Unlike Gotland, Gotland is a pearl on the Baltic Sea. Among them, the port city of Visby on the island of Gotland is one of the most important Hanseatic port cities on the Baltic Sea. Located in the heart of the Baltic Sea, it is an important transit point for trade in the Baltic region, which can receive a lot of tax revenue......

In addition, Lübeck and Hamburg, which have been authorized by Denmark to operate all Danish port transport, also strongly recommend that Denmark take Gotland. After all, Denmark has now given up its sea power and taken Visby, which is equivalent to giving Visby's shipping operations to Lübeck and Hamburg. For this reason, the two cities also put pressure on Denmark to agree to this condition......

In the end, Sweden agreed to pay Denmark 400,000 gold for the war as compensation for the dispatch of the Danish army. Of course, Sweden did not have to pay cash, and the Danish side decided to send troops to continue to occupy the Failon copper mines, taking two-thirds of the proceeds belonging to Sweden until the value of 400,000 gold coins was reached......

……

In this way, Denmark and Sweden finally reached a package of land for sovereignty agreement. Sweden was helpless at this point and could only accept these conditions. Of course, at the same time, they have finally succeeded in achieving the sovereignty they have coveted – recognition across Europe......

Since the Danish king Hans, the bitter master, recognized Sweden's independence (Hans: I was forced, it was Marin who forced me), then there is no need for others to continue to deny it. As for the Holy See, Marin promised to help Sweden clarify the situation and let the Holy See also recognize the sovereign status of the Kingdom of Sweden.

In addition, the North Sea States, Lübeck and Hamburg also signed the peace agreement, stating that they would oversee the peace process between the two countries and, if necessary, use force to urge both sides to comply with the treaty...... In this way, this can be regarded as an excuse for the three families to balance the strength of the two sides openly.

Moreover, the Danish side also kept its promise and gave them Malmö and Helsingborg, which were occupied by Lübeck and Hamburg. In this way, everyone except Sweden is happy, after all, they got what they wanted (and maybe Denmark wanted more)......
