When Princess Hedwig's body was delivered to Oldenburg, the capital of the Earl of Oldenburg, John V, Earl of Oldenburg, was furious and ordered the four unlucky people who were escorting Hedwig's coffin to be cut down. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As for what the four unlucky ones were talking about, it was Edo. Wilmken killed Hedwig, and John V didn't believe it. Or rather, he doesn't want to believe it. To put it more bluntly, he deliberately chose not to believe......

When Hedwig was killed, no third party was present, only Marin's men and those who were once members of the Wilmken family but were now Marin's captives. So, John V, it's perfectly safe to assume that Marin is lying.

In fact, it wasn't a day or two that the Earl of Oldenburg coveted the Jävre region. His father, Gerhard VI, had chosen to marry Hedwig to Edor. Wilmken did not have the intention of annexing Järvre.

You know, in Germany, it is not too normal to rely on marriage, and then sit back and wait for the other party to die, and then inherit the other party's territory and title. Many big forces have expanded their territory by marrying and waiting for their in-laws to die. Of course, there is a premise in this, that is, your family's fertility exceeds that of each other, and the other party is consumed to death. If you don't have a son, I'm sorry, your family's territory is someone else's. Even, if your daughter marries another nobleman, she has to change the man's surname. Even the queen does not change her surname after marriage, and the children she gives birth to are with the man's surname.

In British history, the change of dynasties, in addition to coup d'état, the queen's descendants following the man's surname is also an important way of dynastic change. For example, the Saxe-Goburg-Koda dynasty, the son of Queen Victoria, took her husband's surname. Of course, in order to distance itself from Germany, this dynasty was later renamed the House of Windsor. Until Marin crossed over, Elizabeth II, the last queen of the Windsor dynasty, was still tenaciously alive, waiting for Prince Charles, the crown prince, to be in vain......

Wait for Prince Charles to succeed to the throne...... Belch...... Temeow's surname is actually Windsor...... It's too bad for Prince Philip......

Originally, in history, the Oldenburg family did succeed in planning. The little girl Maria, who was killed by Wilmken's own hands, had no descendants after her death, and gave the Earl of Oldenburg directly to the Earl of Oldenburg......

It's just that in this time and space, the Syxner family has been wiped out by Marin. Now, the Wilmken family has also been wiped out......

Although, the death of his sister made John V, Count of Oldenburg, very sad and angry. However, he still remembered his father and brother's plan to capture Yävre......

Therefore, John V decided to take advantage of Marlin's accidental death of Hedwig, and insisted that Marlin killed him. Then, together with his cousin, King Hans of Denmark, he put pressure on Marin in order to seize the Jävre region......

The Jävre region is so big, hundreds of square kilometers. The Count of Oldenburg, on the other hand, is only about 4,000 square kilometers, which is only a little larger than East Friesland. If you get 500 square kilometers of Jävre, the territory will increase by one-eighth.

Therefore, now John V's heart is very contradictory. He was saddened by the death of his sister Hedwig and thrilled by the imminent seizure of the Jävre region.

Of course, with the power of the Oldenburg Count, it was not enough. Not to mention anything else, the number of troops alone, the tens of thousands of troops in Marin's East Friesland, completely destroyed the Earl of Oldenburg. Moreover, the East Friesian army was still very strong in combat, and it defeated more than 20,000 troops in the Duchy of Saxony.

But behind the Earl of Oldenburg is Denmark......

Denmark is a European power, and perhaps, Denmark's land forces may not be able to defeat East Friesland. However, the Danish navy was terrifying. Its 50 professional warships are proud of Europe. With the exception of Portugal, no other country can match Denmark at sea.

And it was precisely that John V knew that the current Earl of East Friesland, Marin, was very dependent on maritime trade. Without maritime trade, Marin might not have been able to feed the 10,000 troops (he didn't know that Marin was hiding 10,000 in the Teutonic kingdom......

As long as Denmark freed up their hands and surrounded the ships outside the port of Emden, it was not believed that Marin would not give in......

In fact, Marin was also worried that the Danes would surround the warship. In this way, I really want to finish. After all, he was very dependent on maritime trade.

Therefore, Marin sent an emissary again, intending to lose money......

However, John V had already made up his mind and insisted that he would only forgive if he lost the area of Jävre......

Marin ignored him directly - Made, what a madman, a princess of the Prince, worth 500 square kilometers of fiefdom? Even if he is the heir of the Earl of Oldenburg, it may not be worth the price......

And John V, now is not in a hurry. Because, he has to wait for the war on the Danish side to end. After all, Denmark is now throwing most of its forces into the Swedish battlefield. Even those 50 warships were used to blockade the Swedish coastline. Therefore, in the current situation, Denmark is temporarily unable to take care of the side of the Oldenburg Earl.

However, John V sent an envoy to Copenhagen to ask King Hans of Denmark what to do about it......

When King Hans got the news, he was also very angry—he was so sick that a little count dared to kill my cousin......

It's just that he also knows about Marin. In terms of army strength alone, Hans was not sure that he would be able to defeat East Friesland. Because, he believed that the strength of the Danish army might not be able to surpass that of Saxony, which had an army of 20,000 thousand.

Saxony's 20,000 troops, including thousands of knights, were defeated by Marin, and the Danish army was not necessarily an opponent of others.

But, John V said, this Marin, economically very dependent on foreign trade, most of the income, comes from the foreign trade of the port of Emden. As long as he freed up his hands and let the Danish navy surround the port of Emden, Marin would be able to give in......

Speaking of the navy, Hans, the king of Denmark, has not been afraid of anyone. Even the Danes may not have taken Portugal as an emerging maritime power (in fact, Portugal has already caught up). After all, Denmark has been the maritime hegemon of Europe since the time of the Vikings, and has dominated it for hundreds of years......

It's just that now the Danish army, including the navy, is trapped in the Swedish battlefield and can't pull out. So, King Hans of Denmark wrote back to his cousin, telling John V to wait first and not to rush into negotiations. Wait for Denmark to draw its hand and send the navy to demonstrate outside the port of Emden......

When the time came, Denmark not only wanted to help the Oldenburg Count seize Yävre, but also wanted to extort a sum of money from Marin, who was said to be very rich. As for how much, Hans hasn't figured it out yet, anyway, tens of thousands of gold coins can't run away. It just so happened that the deficit caused by Denmark's dispatch of troops to Sweden under the subsidy ......
