Chapter 353: Sweeping Brunswick

"Cooperation? There will be no cooperation! I'm not going to work with you, get out of here now! Sir Ditrick seemed to come back to his senses, and he pointed at Han Xing angrily.

"This is my territory, and even if one of us were to get out, it would only be you!" Han Xing didn't have the slightest intention of moving.

Sir Ditrick heard this and came to the door, and pulled and kicked the wooden door vigorously, but he was busy for a long time, but the wooden door did not move.

"Don't waste your efforts, no one can leave this room without (yǔn) Xu! Now, are you interested in hearing my proposal? Han Xing patted the other chair next to him and motioned for Sir Ditrick to sit down.

Han Xing snapped his fingers, and a servant walked in outside, bringing a pot of black tea to Han Xing, and there were two gold-painted ceramic teacups and a plate of sugar on the dinner plate, Han Xing picked up one of the teacups, poured a cup of rose black tea, added two spoonfuls of sugar, took a sip of beauty, and said with a long breath:

"There is no conflict of interest between us! I can help you to have your own county and even become a hero of the Duchy of Saxony! Of course, I can only help you get here, so you don't need me to teach you what to do in the future, right? ”

"I..." Sir Ditrick visibly hesitated, and after about two seconds, he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't need your help, there is no possibility of cooperation between us!" ”

"Really?" Han Xing sneered, then pointed his finger at Sir Ditrick's mouth (xiōng) and said, "That's not what your heart told me!" ”

"Your heart tells me that you want to be a count, you want to get ahead, you want to be the new Duke of Saxony!" Han Xing came to his ear and whispered.

"But that's wrong! I shouldn't be jealous of my eldest brother, and I shouldn't (yīn) plot to take my nephew's title of duke! Sir Ditrick exclaimed.

"That's what you said, I didn't say anything, I don't know anything!" Han Xing picked up the teacup and took a sip of the sweet, fragrant, and mellow tea with a gentle breeze.

"You're just speaking your inner voice! How can this be wrong? On the contrary, it's good! Very good! Han Xing applauded lightly.

"There is no right or wrong in this world, and success or defeat is the only truth. Is your big brother good to you? Was your father fair to you? Maybe you are destined to become the Duke of Saxony? Maybe all the effort you've made is just putting everything wrong back on track? You are not wrong, it is your father who is at fault, he has no eyes, he made the wrong decision, delayed you, and delayed your nephew! You could have been a happy family, you would be a good duke, a good uncle, wouldn't you? You will take good care of your nephew and let him live a good life without worrying about food and clothing! Han Xing's words carried a terrifying magic, and even if Sir Ditrick had covered his ears, he still couldn't resist the invasion of this "demonic whisper".

"Why don't you listen to my price and consider refusing?" Han Xing drank the tea in the cup, then Sven took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped the corners of his mouth, and then handed another cup of tea to Sir Ditrick.

"Do I have a choice?" Sir Ditrick took the teacup and laughed and cried. From the moment he took the teacup, it meant that he had accepted the deal from the bottom of his heart.

"Of course, you can choose whether to go to glory or to the grave!" Han Xing stood up, gave him a grim smile, replied coldly, and then paused and continued, "I want Braunschweig and Feldenburg!" ”

"What? Your appetite is a little too big! Sir Ditrick shouted angrily.

"It's not over yet! I demand that the Duchy of Saxony permanently renounce its claims to Braunschweig and Feerdenburg! Braunschweig will become a new principality, the Duchy of Braunschweig! Han Xing said loudly.

"It can't be!" Sir Ditrick shook his head.

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse! You'll get more than I do! Han Xing showed a sly smile, and then analyzed: "If it weren't for my help, let alone becoming an earl, even your knighthood would be hanging!" With my help, you can become a powerful count, and when the princes of the Duchy of Saxony tremble under the bombardment, if a man appears and rescues them from the threat of the enemy, and retreats from the invaders, just like Leo (who gave the jewels and sent away the plague god Attila), do you think that the Saxon nobles will be grateful to that person? ”

"I'm the one you're talking about?" A look of fire began to appear in Dietric's eyes, and he knew that in the context of the Middle Ages, making the nobles owe their own people (qíng) meant prestige. And prestige is the foundation of a medieval aristocracy!

"Of course! I only need Braunschweig and Feldenburg, I have already seen the map, and these two counties are not the core territories of the Duchy of Saxony. It's not a bad deal to exchange two poor territories in the border areas for your own earl title and a future duke title, right? Han Xing squinted his eyes and said like a (jiān) businessman.

"I want Lüneburg! I also want food, 50,000 catties of grain, 10,000 gold coins, and artillery, I want ten artillery! Sir Ditrick thought for a moment, and offered his own price.

"My Sir Ditrick, you are greedy!" Han Xing said with a playful face, "But I like it, it's happy enough!" ”

"Lüneburg, no problem! Food and money can also be negotiated, but artillery, I can only give you five! Han Xing didn't mind giving the future Duke of Saxony a few cannons. Han Xing, which sits in the [seaside area], has a complete (tào) military industry in the 18th century, as well as skilled shipbuilding and military industry talents. It's only a matter of time before you want to forge another cannon! And with Han Xing's use of artillery (qíng) leaking out in this battle, it will no longer be a secret that he has the realm master (shēn) of the technological world!

Besides, the forging and smelting process of artillery is very precise, and it is not at all that the poor metallurgical industry technology of this period can be imitated, Han Xing can be sure that the five cannons taken by Sir Ditrick will only decrease, not increase, and even the shells and gunpowder need to be purchased by Han Xing!

In the end, the two agreed on the following price - Han Xing obtained the ownership of Braunschweig and Feldenburg, and the sovereignty of the Free City of Bremen, and the Duchy of Saxony officially renounced its legal sovereignty over the above territories. After Ditrick came to power, the Duchy of Saxony would abolish the tax card of the provinces bordering Braunschweig, and (yǔn) allow merchants to travel between the two places for free! (The last one is an additional condition put forward by Han Xing temporarily, and Bremen's sovereignty is an additional head given by Diettrick in exchange for guns)

Sir Diettrick obtained Lünaburg, and received 100,000 catties of grain, 200 smoothbore guns, and 3,000 rounds of ammunition sponsored by Han Xing; Five artillery pieces, thirty shells. Han Xing promised to help Ditrick establish his prestige in the Duchy of Saxony and make him a powerful earl.

To put it simply, if it weren't for Han Xing's super force, this agreement would have been nothing more than a piece of paper, and Diettrick had given something he didn't have now in exchange for Han Xing's support and material aid.

In fact, this kind of behavior for the sake of selfish interests, signing a treaty of loss of power and humiliation of the country, and the payment of land and reparations was not uncommon in the Middle Ages, don't you see that the Duke of Hesse and his father-in-law, the Duke of Saxony, signed such a treaty? To be honest, "If I can't even be a duke, why should I care if I pay reparations?" It's not my land, what am I distressed about? ”

It has to be mentioned that the Duke of Hesse spent his later years in such frustration, and it was not until Han Xing's help that he fulfilled this wish. In fact, the Duchy of Hesse sent troops to attack Paderborn not once, twice, but three times, but the nobles under it refused to help, so they were either blocked under Goslar (Baron Bird's castle) or under Göttingen. Then, as soon as the reinforcements from the Duchy of Saxony arrived, they had to flee back to the Duchy of Hesse with their tails between their legs.

This is also the main reason why the Duke of Hesse is so generous and admires Han Xing so much, he wants to disgust and disgust the Count of Sāo and the Count of Pomeron who are disgusting and unwilling to contribute, of course, Han Xing became the Count of Paderborn and became the first triangle of the Duchy of Hesse, which is indeed conducive to maintaining the stability of the Duchy of Hesse!

The poor Duke of Saxony didn't know that in this conversation of less than a few dozen minutes, his father's inheritance was less than one-third, and even he himself could be "missing" for some reason!

Han Xing left a hundred devil terminators to watch over the house with Captain Ernst, then rebuilt the bridge, and crossed the Lena River with two thousand levies (dàng) (dàng) and ran to Braunschweig. With Sir Ditrick as the leading party, Han Xing's army made rapid progress, and when he encountered a small castle, he could basically solve the problem with a single shot in the air, and if it didn't work, he would send the Devil Terminator death squad to attack the city, which was basically a hundred tried-and-done.

Within the county of Braunschweig there are two towns and a castle. The owners of the towns are usually mayors, as merchants out (shēn), they are basically greedy for life and afraid of death, not to mention that the town is not mainly defensive, the low city walls can not resist Han Xing's attack at all, after seeing the power of artillery, they simply chose to surrender.

In Braunschweig Castle, Han Xing encountered a little difficulty, considering that Braunschweig Castle would also be his own territory in the future, Han Xing couldn't bear to blow it up into eighteen petals. The threat of artillery (shè) fire was not effective, but fortunately there was a jiān (inner (jiān) of Ditrick, and he and his men pretended to be a rout, and opened the city gates. (Well, they don't have to pretend at all, they just don't even have to change their clothes!) )

By the time Han Xing rushed into the city, the original family of the Count of Braunschweig had already been circled by Ditrick (jìn), and he obviously did not want these people to ruin his glorious image in the Duchy of Saxony, and was planning to kill them. But it was Han Xing who stopped him and said that he would personally deal with the Count of Braunschweig's family!

And Felden's situation is the same, under the strong alliance of Han Xing and Sir Ditrick, Feldenburg, who was already defenseless, also followed in the footsteps of Braunschweig and fell into the hands of Han Xing! All this is just two days before and after!

Then there is the equally defenseless Lüneburg, but in Lüneburg there is an episode, one of Sir Diettrick's nobles is actually a dramatist, probably related to the nobles of Lüneburg! After Dietrick entered the city, he went so far as to warn the defenders of Sir Diettrick's (yīn) scheme. If Han Xing hadn't arrived in time, Sir Ditrick would have been besieged and killed!!

Han Xing took in the three counts and their families, and then sent them to the [Seaside District]. This is not just the explosion of Han Xing's Holy Mother's heart, but they can be used as a handle to deal with Ditrick in the future. If Ditrick makes a move in the future, Han Xing only needs to sacrifice these three counts to expose his true colors and make him (shēn) ruined! Besides, what a pity it is to kill, the most lacking thing in the [Seaside District] is manpower! (Three Counts: Have you ever imagined how desperate we must be when a group of Germans run into the midst of a group of French!! )

Today, Han Xing and Sir Ditrick have their sights set on Magdeburg, the capital of the Duchy of Saxony. This is also the place where a good show is about to be staged!
