Not to mention the decision of the Lithuanian side, Marin was happy in Wittenberg, standing at the head of Wittenberg, Marin was full of emotion:

"I finally experienced the feeling of the chengguan, no wonder the chengguan likes to smash and rob so much, it turns out to be very cool! It's just that smashing and robbing those old men and old ladies is too tasteless. And smashing and robbing strong men is easy to be stabbed...... Alas, it's not easy......"

A few days later, the soldiers returned from Schleswig, bringing with them two heavyweight prisoners of war, King Hans of Denmark and Joakim I, Elector of Brandenburg.

When the Danish king saw Marin, he laughed:

"Marin, what if you defeat me? At the Imperial Council, you can't please you. There are so many more people who support Frederick than there are people who support you! This time, I don't think I'm going to pay too much price! Even, maybe your victory is in vain! Aha! ”

Marin glanced at Hans coldly and said:

"I forgot to tell you, Your Majesty Hans, that I plan to take ten thousand elites with me to Worms. The army is besieging the city, you say they dare to go so far? ”

"What? You're going to take 10,000 troops to Worms? Do you want to be warn? You are crazy? This is tantamount to rebellion! King Hans was surprised. If Marin really brought 10,000 troops to Worms, under the deterrence of the army, those princes would inevitably throw themselves into the mouse.

Marin glanced at King Hans triumphantly and said:

"It is not because of you, Your Majesty Hans, that in order to ensure the personal safety of you, His Majesty the King of Denmark and His Majesty the Elector of Brandenburg, I have brought with me ten thousand troops to protect the safety of the two of you. After all, the lives of the two of them are worth a lot! ”

Of course, Marin would not have publicly admonished him or anything, because he would be retaliated against afterwards. However, in the name of protecting the safety of the King of Denmark and the Elector of Brandenburg, it is too grand to bring ten thousand guards to Worms with you, but you can't say what?

Moreover, Marin was very clever and brought 10,000 cavalry over, only letting 10,000 of them wear formal armor, and the other 5,000 people, although they were all elite soldiers, wore regular clothes, nominally cavalry attendants, but in fact they were all elite. Among the 10,000 cavalry, only 2,000 black-shirted knights, former lancers and hundreds of guards were serious cavalry. The other more than 6,000 people were infantry on horseback. However, because horse farming is popular in Europe, many people have served and ridden horses. The more than 6,000 infantry selected were actually good at horsemanship. This time he went to Worms, and Marin implemented a one-man two-horse configuration. As for the horses, except for the three thousand regular cavalry and the horses of the Marlin guards, who brought their own horses, the rest of the horses were all cavalry captured from Brandenburg and Saxony.

As for the source of food after the arrival of 10,000 troops and 20,000 horses in Worms, Marin had already arranged for a return to East Friesland, and ordered Emden to organize a fleet to transport grain into the Rhine.

Because, Worms is on the banks of the Rhine. The Rhine is a long distance suitable for inland waterway navigation, and Worms is exactly within the range suitable for shipping. Therefore, although the need for food and grass for 10,000 troops and 20,000 horses was great, it was sufficient to have a fleet to provide it in the past.

Joakim I, who had come with King Hans, did not speak, and the young Elector's self-confidence was completely shattered in the war. This, coupled with the humiliating experience of being captured, has made Joakim I feel very bad lately. Every chance he gets, he drinks desperately and uses alcohol to kill his sorrows. When I met Marin, Joakim I's hangover had not been completely eliminated, and he was a little dazed. Moreover, there is nothing to say about the loser in the face of the winner. Only Hans, the king of Denmark, went to provoke Marin. And Joakim I knows very well that he is still a prisoner of war, provoking the other party's dry hair? And he was also unlucky, and he dragged himself into the quagmire by such an unreliable father-in-law......

Before leaving, the envoy of the Imperial Diet, Larek, came to him and demanded that Marin release the captured John and John's young son, John. Frederick.

Marin was about to go to Worms to negotiate, and he was in a bad mood, so he directly whipped Baron Larick with his horsewhip, leaving a bloody mark on Baron Larick's face.

Baron Larick screamed at once, and then shouted:

"Do you dare to fight the envoys of the Imperial Diet, do you want to be the enemy of the entire Empire?"

Marin said coldly to Larrick:

"Can you say anything like this to John and his son? Do you think of yourself as an emperor? You're just an envoy! Moreover, the Imperial Diet did not give such a stupid order. Because, everyone knows that this is impossible! And only a fool like you would make such a brainless request. If you don't want to continue to be whipped, get out of the way! ”

Cowardly, Larrick left in disgrace, and Marlin ignored him. Larec was a native of the Duchy of Lüneburg, and Henry, Duke of Lüneburg, was the brother-in-law of Frederick III, and naturally oriented towards the Electorate of Saxony. So, Marlin didn't plan to give Larrick a good look.

Moreover, as long as you are a person with a normal mind, you will not make the kind of request you just made. The Reichstag asked Marin to bring King Hans of Denmark and Elector Joakim I of Brandenburg to Worms because they were important parties and important members of the negotiations. This is because this negotiation may involve the issue of territorial cession. None of the ministers under his command are qualified to decide on such a major issue, and only when these two people personally participate in the negotiations can they be qualified to decide. I can sign it just right, and it becomes effective, too.

Even so, Marin did not dare to take it lightly, for his own safety, and for the fear that the princes would take the opportunity to kidnap King Hans and Joakim I, he simply took 10,000 elite soldiers to accompany him to Worms. One is to ensure their own safety and the safety of the hostages; Second, it also has the intention of deterring the princes.

But this brainless Baron Larrick, who thought that the big name of the Imperial Parliament was particularly good, actually wanted Marin to let Johan, the heir of the Electoral State of Saxony, and his young son, be extremely stupid. So, he was whipped. Afterwards, even if he complained, those Imperial Councillors would not help him.

Before leaving, Marin handed over the remaining 30,000 troops to Schwarz, and asked him to lead his troops to stay in Wittenberg, the capital of the Electorate of Saxony.

The reason why Schwartz was left to stay in Wittenberg was because there were still many heavyweight prisoners of war in Wittenberg that could not be taken away. Not to mention anything else, John and John's son John. Frederick, the two important hostages of the Wettin family, was in trouble. John said that he could take it away. Can little John. Frederick was only two years old and could not afford the long journey. If he died, Marin would have to bear a great reproach.

In addition, the great nobles of the Electorate of Saxony, along with their respective families, were placed under house arrest by Marin's army. They also have old and weak women and children, and they are not suitable for long journeys to take with them. After all, they are all big nobles, and if they die, they will bear infamy.

Therefore, Marin simply asked Schwartz to stay in Wittenberg with an army of 30,000 and continue to supervise these people. At the same time, use them as bargaining chips.

Before leaving, Marin said to Schwartz in a gloomy tone in the presence of King Hans and the Elector of Joakim I:

"I may be in danger when I go to Worms this time. If anything happens to me, Schwartz, remember, set fire to Wittenberg, the nobles of Wittenberg, including John and Little John. Frederick, not a single one remains. Then, withdraw to Aurich. Orich has enough food, even if the princes' coalition comes to attack, we can hold out for several years, and we will consume each other's energy to death! ”

Schwartz immediately and solemnly accepted Marin's order, saying that he would carry out Marin's order to the letter.

But Marin changed the subject and said to Schwartz:

"Send for your father-in-law, Mikel, to be told, and the same is true for the city of Schleswig. As long as something happens to me, the great nobles in the royal palace of Schleswig, including the Danish royal family, will be burned to death, and not a single one will be left! Externally, let's just say it's an accident! ”

The Danish king on the side was terrified when he heard this, but in fact, Marin had deliberately said it to Hans. Marin was afraid that Hans would make trouble at the Imperial Council, and if a king spilled at the Assembly, Marin would have nothing to do. After the negotiations began, Marin could not still send his men to imprison King Hans, but always let him sit in front of the stage. Once at the negotiating table, King Hans had a lot of room to play.

Therefore, the family of Hans, who was imprisoned in the palace of Schleswig, could only be used as a threat. King Hans's eldest son, Christian, and his youngest son, Prince Francis, were both there, and if Marin's men killed all of Hans's family, Hans would have no one to inherit even if he had won the negotiations......

After preparing all this, Marin rushed to Worms with 10,000 elite soldiers, plus two important prisoners of war......
