The Electorate of Saxony and the Electorate of Brandenburg are bordered, in particular, the Electorate of Saxony has a piece of land just southeast of Berlin, the capital of the Electorate of Brandenburg. That place was later known as the county of Oder-Splitley, and its capital was Besco.

The territory of another country near the capital is not very safe for a country after all. Of course, at the moment the Electors of Brandenburg and Saxony have good relations, and there is no danger in sight. If the two countries had fallen out, the county of Oder-Speare would have been fatal to the Electorate of Brandenburg. This is because the Electorate of Saxony can gather its troops from here and attack directly and quickly under the city of Berlin. If this land were to be exchanged for the Electoral State of Brandenburg, presumably the Brandenburgers would not object. Moreover, this piece of land is not small, there is a county as big.

"Of course, when the meeting resumes, you will still cling to the conditions you just wanted, until you annoy the princes. Finally, I will come forward as a mediator and cut your request in half. It looks like you've suffered a big loss, but you actually have nothing to lose......"

"Okay, that's it!"

"Remember, after your conditions are cut in half, you must pretend to be very aggrieved. At least, it can't behave worse than Elector Frederick just now. It would be even better if you could squeeze out a few tears! You must let the princes who oppose you come to comfort, and their anger will subside......"

"Understood, that's a little meaning!" Marin, who has participated in dramas many times in his previous life, is not afraid of this. Besides, if you can't cry, you can hide an onion in your sleeve......

……

Even if the conditions are halved, Marin can still get a lot of benefits. Putting aside the huge indemnities, the land alone is enough for Marin to be happy.

First of all, Jutland, about 3,000 square kilometers of land in the northern part of the Duchy of Schleswig, and about 20,000 square kilometers of land in the north area.

Before that, even if you count the Earl of East Friesland (500 square kilometers of Jävre, about 4,000 square kilometers), the Earl of Oldenburg (about 4,000 square kilometers), the Bishopric of Münster (10,200 square kilometers), the Bishopric of Osnabrück (more than 2,000 square kilometers) and the Duchy of Schleswig (9,200 square kilometers), it was less than 30,000 square kilometers.

Together with the two counties of the Electorate of Brandenburg, the two counties west of the Elbe, which are about 4,700 square kilometers of land, Marin's land has increased by almost 25,000 square kilometers. Taken together, it reaches more than 55,000 square kilometers...... In other words, if you are not careful, Marin's land area will increase by almost five-sixths. In the current Holy Roman Empire, I am afraid that only the vast vassal states such as the Archduchy of Austria and the Kingdom of Bohemia can exceed the area under Marin's rule.

However, there is also the question of the ownership of the Count of Oldenburg. Marin and Julius II consulted with him, and decided to raise the question at the end, and on the condition that he give up his claim to the Kingdom of Norway, the Danish king Hans would take the members of his family to the Kingdom of Norway, and give them the status of earl there. In this way, Marin would have de jure possession of the Count of Oldenburg. In the future, I don't have to worry about others talking about the affairs of Oldenburg.

On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore? The Earl of Oldenburg was only a few dozen kilometers away from the city of Aurich, and the army could reach it in a day. For Marin, the existence of the Oldenburg Count was too dangerous. Therefore, he must annex the country. From then on, the Oldenburg Reichstag became a barrier to the capital city of Aurich. If the enemy wants to attack Aurich, he must first defeat the defenders of the Oldenburg region if he comes from the east.

Marin also thought about exchanging more than 4,700 square kilometres of land west of the Elbe from Brandenburg and Saxony for the Count of Oldenburg. But in the end, Marin didn't give up......

Why? Because the region west of the Elbe River in the Electoral State of Brandenburg was much more prosperous than that of the Electoral State of Oldenburg. Otherwise, Joakim I would not have chosen to have his wedding in the city of Stendal. You know, it's the marriage of the monarch of the country, and it's of great political significance. It is clear that the region west of the Elbe is the more developed area of Brandenburg.

Indeed, the Electorate of Brandenburg, the city of Stendal, was the largest and most prosperous city west of the Elbe. Moreover, agriculture is much more developed and populous than in the Earl of Oldenburg because of the excellent irrigation conditions of the Elbe.

If the two districts of Stendal and Salzwedel-Altmark were to be exchanged for the Oldenburg family, Marin would lose a lot. And the Oldenburg family, it is estimated that they will be happy to die.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Marin decided to leave the Alden newspaper family to the Danish king Hans to settle down. In this way, you can save a lot of land.

Moreover, Hans was able to afford to settle his family. After all, the Kingdom of Norway lacks everything, that is, no land. The population of the huge Kingdom of Norway is only about 200,000, which is not as large as the part of Jutland.

When the time came, King Hans could arrange for a sparsely populated lowland to be assigned to his cousin John as a "county". The Kingdom of Norway is so big, and the area south of the Arctic Circle in Norway alone has more than 200,000 square kilometers of land, and it is not difficult at all to set aside 3,000 or 4,000 square kilometers of land as a "countyhood."

Besides, it's really not good, it's okay, John, Earl of Oldenburg, to settle in sparsely populated Iceland......

Iceland has an area of 100,000 square kilometers, well, more than enough to house a count...... Alternatively, you can settle in the Faroe Islands......

In short, this pot is for Denmark to carry, and Marin is not going to carry it. Of course, in order to show his friendly side and gain a good reputation, Marin decided to compensate the Oldenburg family.

As for how to compensate? Naturally, the current compensation system should be maintained......

Previously, after Marin occupied the Earl of Oldenburg, although the members of the Oldenburg family were placed under house arrest and not allowed to leave the city. However, in terms of treatment, Marin did not deduct them in any way.

For example, the Oldenburg family used to own a large area of land in the Earl of Oldenburg, and they had to produce a lot of food from the land every year.

After Marin robbed their family of land, he still provided their family with food for the land according to the original standard. However, not according to the later standards, but to maintain the previous ones.

Specifically, it turned out that the yield of the cultivated land belonging to the Oldenburg family was less than 150 pounds. After Marin used new agricultural technology, the yield per mu broke through
