After reaching an agreement with Joakim I, Marin was in a good mood. However, he was also worried that Joakim I would go back on his word. So, before leaving, Marin glanced at Joakim I with deep meaning:

"Lord Jokim, I don't think you will regret it, right?"

"Of course not!" Joakim I hurriedly shook his head. In fact, he didn't make up his mind. Whether to cooperate with Marin or with Frederick III depends on the flexibility of the negotiations. Whichever side is more favorable to you, you will fall to whichever side. For example, if Marin was in a weak position and mixed up with Frederick III, he would be able to avoid compensation or land cession, and he would definitely choose to cooperate with Frederick III......

But where would Marin give him a chance to regret it, I saw Marin smile slightly and said:

"The Honourable Elector Elizabeth, and the lovely little Prince Joakim, and Prince Albert, are now living in the royal palace in Berlin. I think they should be smooth and not die in the fire for no apparent reason...... You know, it's dry right now, and it's easy to catch fire......"

Joakim I's heart suddenly tightened, and he asked nervously:

"What do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, if Master Joakim keeps his promise, everything will be fine." After saying that, Marin walked out directly.

Joakim I was cold-hearted, and although Marin didn't say it explicitly, it was tantamount to threatening him - if he cooperated, he would be fine; Without cooperation, the wife and son, including the only brother, could be burned to death by a man-made fire.

You know, Joakim I currently has only one son and one younger brother, and if they all die, Marin will kill himself, and his branch of the Hohenzollern family will be extinct.

At this time, Joakim I suddenly came to his senses - no wonder Marin was going to send troops to attack Berlin, it turned out that he was planning to threaten himself with the lives of his wife, children and younger brother......

Moreover, Marin even thought of a means of killing people - accidental fire......

It would have been unwise to kill the wife, children and brother of an elector, and would have met with opposition and hostility from all over Europe. But what can you say about killing people with "accidental fire", even if anyone with a discerning eye knows that there is a problem in it? Don't let natural disasters happen anymore? This is "force majeure......

The last trace of luck in Joakim I's heart was extinguished, because he couldn't afford to gamble......

As for cooperating with Marin, he will be blamed by other princes? Whatever, let's save the lives of my own family first. Besides, even if others come to question, they just put the blame directly on Marin's persecution. Moreover, Marlin did push himself. When the time comes, I just need to pretend to be struggling...... In this way, people will not alienate themselves afterwards......

As a great nobleman, Joakim I was not very intelligent, although he was young. However, basic acting skills are still available. At least it's much better than the actors in Hengdian. As a big aristocrat, acting skills must be qualified, and they will be cultivated from an early age. Moreover, Joakim I is not too stupid, it's just that, because of his age, he is still relatively young, and sometimes he is easy to be instigated and fooled. However, if you calm down, your IQ can still reach the passing line.

In the end, Joakim I chose to give in, who told him that he and his family were all controlled by Marin?

Seeing that Joakim I looked like he had accepted his fate, Marin nodded and left......

Two days later, the large force arrived in Worms. And the princes got the news in advance, and they all ran to meet them outside the east gate of Worms. Not to greet Marin, of course, but to welcome Joakim I and King Hans of Denmark.

"Yo, so many people came to greet you? What a battle! Seeing almost two hundred nobles with thousands of guards appear outside the East City Gate, Marin was taken aback.

Of course, the princes were more surprised than he was......

"What's going on? This guy is coming, why are you bringing so many troops? Want to use force against us? Some of the aristocrats clamored.

In fact, the reason why most of the princes gathered outside the city gate today was to give Marin a dismount. However, people have brought tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, how can they be powerful? Do you want to try one? I am sure to be beaten into a pig's head......

At this time, Frederick III saw that something was wrong and knew that he could not do it. So, decisively changed the move:

"Guys, don't look at the number of people he brings. All we need to do is let him garrison the army outside the city and bring only a small number of guards into the city. When the time comes, when we enter the city and the city gate is closed, we will still have the upper hand! We don't beat him, we just put pressure on him. His army has no excuse to attack the city, does it? ”

When you think about it, it's really true. When we come out, we will bring dozens or hundreds of guards, why are you bringing tens of thousands of people? When the time comes, everyone will put pressure on them to force Marin to bring only some guards into the city.

When Marin approached the city gate with a large group of men, Frederick III came out of the crowd and asked in a menacing voice:

"Marin. Hoffman, what are you doing with so many troops? This is the seat of the Imperial Parliament and a place for peace talks. With so many soldiers, do you want to force us to obey by force? ”

Marin squinted at Frederick III with disdain:

"When did I say I was going to use force? Don't spread rumors and incite others! The reason why I brought so many people with me was to protect my safety, that of His Majesty Hans, and Lord Jokim! ”

"Tens of thousands of people to protect security? You're fooling us for fools? Frederick III was unrelenting.

"No way, I have a lot of enemies now, and I don't have enough soldiers and horses, I'm afraid......" Marin said with a sloppy face.

Frederick III was choked suddenly, and everyone said that they were so shameless that they were afraid, what else can you say? After thinking about it, Frederick III said:

"Even if you bring so many men and horses, you can't let these soldiers into the city. There are so many nobles in the city, you can't let those big-headed soldiers of yours collide with those nobles! ”

Marin showed a surprised expression:

"Am I blind? Your Excellency Frederick, I see thousands of soldiers and horses behind you! Why can they enter the city, but not my soldiers and horses? ”

Frederick III was speechless, but he quickly reacted:

"Those are the guards of many princes and families, not a unified army! If you want to enter the city, just bring dozens of guards into the city! As for the army, it will be stationed outside the city! ”

If Marin had only brought a few dozen guards into the city, he was sure that even if he had no problem with his own safety, the two prisoners of war, King Hans and Joakim I, would have been snatched away.

When the time came, Frederick III and others snatched King Hans and Joakim I, and then colluded with these two, and when it came to negotiations, he was passive.

So, Marin shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently:

"As I said, I'm afraid of death, and I'm worried about the safety of my two distinguished guests. So, I'm going to take all my men into the city with me! ”

After saying that, Marlinli ignored Frederick III and ran to greet the Archbishop of Cologne and the Archbishop of Mainz and other religious princes. Most of these secular princes were not very friendly, and those religious princes, although some were unfriendly, had to weigh because the pope was on their side. I took the initiative to run to show favor to them, and I also gave them a step down to prevent them from looking bad...... [.]
