Chapter 59: Okay, I'll admit it!

The order of the Danish king Hans was soon conveyed to the southern coast of Sweden. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 As a result, the Danish fleet, divided into half of the warships with a total of 100 ships, first returned to Copenhagen to assemble, and then prepared to go to the East Friesian Lamber Kingdom to encircle Emden.

Kohler, a spy sent to Copenhagen under the name of Marin, saw 100 warships and learned of the Danes' movements after a little inquiry. So, he immediately boarded a merchant ship bound for Lübeck. After coming ashore, the horses were already ready. Moreover, there are people answering along the way.

After a long time, after the relay of changing horses, the next afternoon, Marin received information from the Danish side......

"As I expected!" Marin waved his hand excitedly. Then he called the commander of the fleet, Kidd:

"Kidd, you hurry up and lead 8 warships and 15 250-level armed merchant ships, leave Emden Harbor, go to Tehorencher to stay for a while, and don't come back without an order!"

Captain Kidd wondered a little - all right, why do you want to transfer all the warships? Emden Harbor is not protected?

In fact, Marin was deliberately showing weakness. Denmark has always been arrogant, and does not care at all how many warships there are in East Friesland, and even if there are, it is certainly far less than 100 warships.

As for the dozens of merchant ships in the port of Emden, Marin will not transfer them all. If there wasn't even a merchant ship, the Danes would have been suspicious. Even if these merchant ships were destroyed by the Danes, it would not be a problem. How much money is a merchant ship? Marin can afford to lose.

In short, this time, Ma Lin must bring the image of a "wronged little daughter-in-law" to life, and must make the outside world sympathetic. Then, when Marin attacked Denmark, no one thought Marin was a bad person......

Ten days later, the Danish fleet arrived belatedly, and hundreds of warships directly blocked the mouth of the Ames River, so that the fishing boats of the fishermen of East and West Frisland did not dare to go out to sea to fish.

Seeing the panicked escape of the local fishing boats, the Danish naval officers and men laughed, and even pretended to chase after them, and even frightened a West Frisian fishing boat to capsize on the spot.

Standing on the head of Emden City, Marin looked at the direction of the mouth of the Ames River with a pull-out monocular, and found that the 100 warships were indeed huge, and there was a sense of boundlessness.

This momentum alarmed George, Duke of Saxony, who was still leading troops in West Frisland to confront the West Frisian Resistance Army trapped in Leeuwarden.

At first, George was also taken aback, thinking that Denmark had something to think of the Hanseatic city of Groningen. But when he learned that the Danish fleet had come to surround Emden, he immediately looked up to the sky and laughed:

"Hahaha, Marlin kid, you also have today!" Although he had to support Marin in the Imperial House of Lords last time in the Imperial Diet, George's resentment towards Marin did not abate. After all, the humiliation of being captured is difficult to wash away. If it weren't for the rebels in West Friesland, Duke George would have wanted to run to form an alliance with the Danes to loot East Friesland.

However, at the thought that his supply line from the Duchy of Saxony to West Frisian would pass through the Count of East Friesland, Duke George had to endure and restrain his desire to stand up and mock Marin......

Soon, Danish Foreign Minister Holsen and Oldenburg Foreign Minister Gouldberg arrived in Aurich with a high spirit......

"What? You want me to cede Yevre and pay me 100,000 gold coins? That's impossible! Marin would have liked to admit it immediately, but it was unconscionable and suspicious. Therefore, the anger and unwillingness that should be there still have to be pretended. Therefore, after seeing the diplomatic documents handed over by the other party, Marin pretended to be angry and yelled.

"Lord Marin, I know your grievances. However, Princess Hedwig is His Majesty's most valued cousin, and you must pay the price for killing Her Highness by mistake. Danish Foreign Minister Holsen said indifferently, his eyes were still full of disdain, so angry that Marin really wanted to beat him.

"Again, Princess Hedwig was not killed by me, but by her husband Edor in a frenzy!" Marlin said loudly.

"Excuse me, Lord Earl, is there a third party present to prove it to you?" Also, do you think it's normal for a husband to kill his wife? Oldenburg's Foreign Minister, Gouldberg, asked aggressively.

"This ......" Marin really couldn't refute this. There was no one present, only his own army and Jävre's army. And Yevre's army, all alive have become prisoners of his ranks. Therefore, neither side of the party can be an impartial witness. However, who would have thought of such a thing? Do you have to bring a notary public to fight a war? Fault it......

Moreover, even if Marin had a reason, he didn't want to really refute it. So, he is now acting in his true colors, performing an image of being poor in words:

"I don't care, I just didn't kill Princess Hedwig, and my men didn't kill either!"

"Since you insist on denying it, then we have nothing more to say!" Holson decided to terminate the negotiations and left with Guldberg. He planned to inform the Danish fleet first and teach Marin a lesson......

Sure enough, the next day, the Danish fleet, which had been blocking the mouth of the Ems River, launched an attack on the port of Emden. Of course, they did not have a few guns on board, and they were all small-caliber. So, the Danes simply discharged the sailors and burned 10 merchant ships that stayed in the port of Emden. Of course, the people on the merchant ships had long since fled.

Then, with mixed feelings of both joy and anger, Marin ordered Jeffrey, the palace minister, to lodge a strong protest with Holson:

"Protest, why did the Danes burn the merchant ships of our country for no reason? Of these, there is also one from Hanseatic Hamburg and another from Lübeck ......"

Holson was taken aback, he didn't expect to burn a few ships at random, as well as the Hanseatic League's ......

In fact, the two ships belonged to East Friesian merchants at all. However, before sending Jeffrey to protest, Marin suddenly had an idea--in particular, the Danes burned the merchant ships in Lübeck and Hamburg, isn't that the best excuse to carry out? Otherwise, it seems that there is not enough reason for Lübeck and Hamburg to go to war on the grounds of tax increases...... What a good excuse for the ship to be burned by the opposing navy......

In this way, Marin improvised the scene and accused the Danes of burning the ships of Lübeck and Hamburg. At the same time, Marin also sent people to Lübeck and Hamburg, so that they could also protest together, and stir up the topic first......

Although they were taken aback, the Danes really didn't care. Aren't they just two ships? Who told them to stop at Emden?

Over the course of a few days, Jeffrey, on behalf of Marin, made more than a dozen protests and issued eight "solemn statements......

Of course, the Danes paid no attention to this. When Holson threatened to burn the dozens of remaining merchant ships in the harbor, Marin finally gave in "with a look of unwillingness......

Then, in the presence of representatives of several other countries, Marin signed a compromise agreement "with a humiliated face", agreeing to cede Yevre and promising to pay 100,000 gold coins......

Those representatives of other countries were actually invited by Denmark and Oldenburg, in order to let everyone see Marin lose face......

Marin would like this, the more he loses face today, the more reason he has to send troops tomorrow...... It's just that I'm so excited to lose face and lose my face - am I a bit psychopathic?

Marin signed this humiliating treaty with extremely mixed feelings. In the sympathetic eyes of several foreign representatives, Marin kept thinking about the question of "whether he is a pervert or not", so he was a little distracted. In the eyes of the representatives of several other countries, it was understood as "lost souls......

Yes, anyone who is extorted from such a large piece of land and 100,000 gold coins will also lose his soul. Therefore, Marin's expression is very in place and very appropriate to the situation. I don't dare to say that I can win the Oscar, but it is more than enough to get a golden elephant and a hundred flowers......
