Chapter 771: The rebirth of a son is called Ma Yun

Marin was not worried that the Danish king Hans would refuse, because, if he refused, not to say whether he would do anything to him, Lübeck would not let the Danish army cross the sea, and the Danish ambition to conquer southern Sweden would be extinguished.

The Kingdom of Denmark is actually very weak now, especially the economy, and it is about to collapse. If it weren't for Marin's openness, not rushing to urge them to pay reparations, and spending money on Norwegian timber, perhaps Denmark's economy would have collapsed by now.

Moreover, if the status quo continues, it will be difficult for the more than 10,000 troops before the Kingdom of Denmark to raise. With the current economic situation of the Kingdom of Denmark, I am afraid that in the future it will only be able to feed five or six thousand troops at most.

And if you take the southern part of Sweden, it's different. To the south of the line drawn by Marin, there are also 70,000 square kilometers, which is still the lowest latitude and the highest temperature in Sweden.

In the southernmost coastal area of this land, agriculture can still be cultivated, and there is no problem in planting some rye. In fact, the southern coast of Sweden, which has always been controlled by Denmark, has also developed a certain amount of agriculture. If it weren't for Marin's intervention, Denmark would have controlled the southern and southwestern coasts of Sweden until the 17th century, when they lost to Gu and his father.

In addition to the warm climate in the southern coastal areas, where you can grow some hardy rye, in the slightly inland areas, where you can cut down forests, you can also graze, raise some sheep, cattle and horses. When cutting down trees to reclaim wasteland, the trees cut down can also be sold as timber. As for the branches and roots, they can also be used as firewood.

Although it is said that reclamation is difficult, as long as there are enough manpower, reclamation is not very difficult. The Kingdom of Denmark also has hundreds of thousands of people, although it was taken away by Marin more than 100,000, but it also retained more than 300,000. Now, these people are crowded together on a few large reserved islands, such as Zealand and Funen. It would have been easy for King Hans to send them to southern Sweden to cut trees and herd sheep if he wanted to. The matter of reclamation is to have enough people......

In other words, as long as the southern part of Sweden is seized, Danish agriculture will develop by leaps and bounds. After all, what was lost here in Marin can be recovered from Sweden. In terms of area, it's still earned.

But Denmark, on the other hand, took the southern part of Sweden, which was too bad for Sweden. After all, Sweden is a country with high latitudes and generally low temperatures. If the southern region is snatched away by Denmark, they will be left with the high latitudes of the back. Although it is south of the Arctic Circle (north belongs to Marin), it is impossible to farm. And now is the era of agriculture, and there is no way to farm, which has too much impact on national strength. Just like the Ming Dynasty, which relied heavily on grain and taxes in Jiangnan, if the Jiangnan area was taken away, the national strength would definitely drop greatly.

Of course, Sweden also retains the Faylon copper mine and also has fiscal revenue. But Marin will not let Sweden monopolize the proceeds of this copper mine, and he will definitely take it back.

When the time comes, when Denmark occupies the southern part of Sweden, he will act as a mediator and help make peace. But the appearance fee of the peace is to let Sweden return half of the proceeds of the Fayilun copper mine. Otherwise, Denmark will be allowed to occupy Stockholm and northern Sweden......

……

In fact, the reason why King Hans of Denmark dared to make a bold statement this time when the finances were almost collapsed that he would pay military commissions to the Electors of Brandenburg and Saxony depended on the proceeds of the Swedish copper mines of France. As long as he wins the war against Sweden, he can force Sweden to cede land and pay reparations. The source of funds for the compensation is the Fayilun Copper Mine. If Sweden can't afford to pay the reparations, it can use the income from the production of the Fayilun copper mine as collateral until the reparations are paid. After all, the price of copper in Europe is now expensive, and the ratio of silver to copper is 1 to 15. Owning a super-bonanza copper mine is similar to owning a large silver mine.

By the end of the war, the situation in Sweden had become: the warm and fertile areas in the south were occupied by Denmark, and Sweden was left with only the cold regions in the north and Finland, and agriculture could not be relied upon, at most animal husbandry; But at the same time, even if only half of the income from the Faylon copper mine is retained, Sweden's finances will not be bad. In this way, the national power of Denmark and Sweden will form a balance...... Denmark has fertile soil, and Sweden has copper mines...... No one can completely overwhelm the other...... Eventually, the two countries will be in equilibrium, facing off in Scandinavia and unable to expand externally...... And Marin's North Sea Country does not need to divide energy and strength to guard against the Nordic countries. Only when there is an imbalance in the strength of the two sides will the Beihai State intervene to help the weaker side and restore the balance of power on the peninsula......

This trick was learned from the disgusting policy of "continental balance" of the British Empire in later generations. Originally, in history, the later British tried to balance Germany and France. When France was strong, it desperately supported Prussia to compete with France. When Prussia became big and built a powerful German Empire, it turned around and helped France fight Germany...... Anyway, both Germany and France lost their tempers. They have put a lot of energy and national strength into tearing the two countries apart, and naturally they have no energy to snatch hegemony in the world with Britain. On the contrary, before the start of the fight, they all have to look at the British face......

It's just that the later German Third Reich was too perverted, not only was it industrially powerful, but it also developed missiles, and almost made a flying saucer and an atomic bomb...... In the face of the Third Reich, which was technologically open, Britain got rid of it, was crippled, and lost its position as the world hegemon......

Of course, that was the Third Reich in later generations. Now, Denmark and Sweden, which Marin wants to balance, are certainly not as perverted as the Third Reich. At the end of the day, the Nordic countries don't have a large population, only a few hundred thousand. Sweden has only 800,000 people, Finland has just over a million people, and Denmark has only a few hundred thousand people. Not a pervert like France, with a population of 15 million......

Therefore, Marin feels that he can still suppress the backlash of these two countries......

……

Just when Marin was thinking about the Nordic strategy, the maid of the back palace suddenly came to report that something big had happened......

Marin ran back to the back house without thinking, extremely nervous. You know, in the backyard of the palace, there are people who live in Marin who cares about it very much. Angela and Little Caesar are his treasures, and even Felise and Robert and Marin are also treasures. If something happens to any of them, Marin will go crazy.

After rushing back to the backyard of the palace, Marin learned the truth - it turned out that it was Felise who was pregnant again......

Marin breathed a sigh of relief, and then ecstasy—Lao Tzu had children again......

It's just that Angela's face is not very good......

This is also normal, since Marlin returned from England, he has slept with Angela and Felise. Even, the three of them are happy together a lot of times.

Felise knew that she was not as beautiful and gentle as her sister, so she used her wild side to attract Marin. For example, every time Felise yells the phrase "Brother-in-law, don't," Marlin's adrenaline rushes...... Moreover, this little hoof actually likes the three of them together, and helps Marin hold down the shy Angela...... Therefore, although not as beautiful and gentle as Angela, the foul-mouthed Felise still firmly attracted Marin with her unique style......

Then, this time, Felise outperformed Angela and became pregnant with her second child first......

Moreover, this little lady is very scheming, pestering Marin to ask for a good future for her future children......

Marin was pestered a little impatiently, so he had to really plan for it. If it's a girl, needless to say, help her find a reliable nobleman to marry. Don't think about the prince, after all, it's illegal, but the earl, baron or something can still be considered.

"If it's a boy......" Marin had a headache. Felise's child, after all, is an illegitimate child and is not easy to arrange. If Angela gives birth to a second boy, she will not only be the second heir to the throne, but she can also be crowned a duke or something. Cofelise's second son......

"Uh-hahhh Marin suddenly came up with a great idea......

What's the idea? Didn't Ma Lin plan to be the toast of the Ming Dynasty before, it just so happened that the Taidao Tusi also needed an heir in order to deal with the Ming Dynasty.

Angela's child is definitely not willing to go to the distant Ming Empire, no matter how prosperous it is. Besides, the American colonies alone are enough for Angela's children to divide up.

But Felise is different, she has no name, and the children she gave birth to were also illegitimate children. If Felise's second son is allowed to go to Daming to inherit the position of hereditary Taidao Daming Tusi, he will definitely be happy. Because, he has no qualifications to pick......

"Well, let Felise's second son go to Taiwan Island to inherit the position of Daming Tusi as the son. After all, they themselves have to send a representative with a weighty presence on the side......"

Then, Marin thought about it and felt that since he became the toast of the Ming Dynasty, he naturally couldn't use a European name. Because, the Ming people are not used to it. Therefore, I have to give this child a Chinese name.

When I became a Daming toast, I didn't have to think about the Chinese name I used, and I was called Ma Lin, which happened to be the name of my previous life. And Felice's second son, if he wants to inherit the position of Ming Tusi, he also needs to take a Chinese name so that he can easily deal with the Ming court......

"What's the Chinese name?" My name is Marin...... Well, this kid's Chinese name is Ma Yun......"

Thinking of this, Marin himself laughed out loud. Because, in his mind, the very comedic face of Ma's father suddenly appeared......

Thinking about the appearance of himself and Felis, they are both of European races, and the sons born are naturally impossible to grow the "skeletal Qingqi" appearance of Ma's father in later generations. Otherwise, Marin himself might be amused......

So, Marin took out a piece of paper and wrote down the names of himself and Felice's second son, and even thought of the words that he would take when he became an adult. I saw that the paper read:

"Name: Jack Ma, word Ali ......"

After writing it, Marin looked at the paper happily and said with a smile:

"This kid, with such a domineering name, will definitely be a world-class rich man in the future!"
