Chapter 126: Wish-fulfilled
Seeing that Hans, the king of Denmark, was really angry, it didn't look like a fake, and the other three laughed happily. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Shhhhh
Tagfacht, Heisenberg and Sr. Sten. The three of them nodded hurriedly. Then Marin commanded his men:
"Go next door and let them take the little prince away!"
The guards hurried to give the order, and at this moment, in the next room, the poor little prince was pressed against a small table. Next to him is an aunt with a fierce face and a very tolerant grandmother. And this aunt is holding an embroidery needle in her hand, and it seems that she has just collected the needle. Just now, it was this fierce-looking aunt who pierced the little prince with an embroidery needle. The little prince's screams were also caused by this aunt. If you missed the previous scene, please make up for the part of Mama Crape Myrtle by yourself......
However, the left hand of the little prince Francis is still intact. It's just that Xiao PP was pierced by the fierce aunt who was very tolerant of grandma.
This aunt, specially found by Marlin from the chicken yard in Copenhagen, is a vicious old bustard. Whenever a girl is disobedient, she her with a needle. Moreover, his technique is skilled, and he knows where it hurts, but he can't hurt people. After hearing about such strange people, Marlin specially invited her to help with a "star appearance price" of a gold coin......
After the guards came to pass the word, two other guards took the little prince Francis away. And the aunt, who has a very "Rong Mama" style, also put away the embroidery needle and left the house. On the side, a maid carrying a large basin of animal blood also hurriedly followed away with the basin......
The basin is filled with ox blood, and in the past few days, Marin has been keen to cook beef bone broth, and has killed a few cows, and there is a lot of cow blood. Just like the blood of the cow that was smeared on the fake hand carved by the turnip, it was the blood of the cow that was just killed in the morning, and it was still very fresh. After a little heating, it was still hot, and it gave off a smell of blood......
When the little prince was taken away, Marin hurriedly ordered his men to douse water on King Hans. As soon as King Hans woke up, he was about to pounce on Marin, trying to fight Marin. However, he was quickly pinned down by Marin's guards. King Hans scolded:
"You devil, I curse you, curse you to hell when you die!"
Looking at the hysterical King Hans, Marin smiled faintly:
"I don't know when I'm going to hell, but I know that if you don't agree to our terms, your youngest son will go to hell right away. I'll wait for you a little longer, and if you don't agree, I'll make Prince Francis into porridge and force you to eat it...... By the way, this little palm is still hot, do you want to taste it? It's not good when it's cold......"
"—I'm human, how could I eat my own son? Only you, the devil, can eat people! Yes, I will denounce you to the Holy See! You're a man-eating devil! ”
"Hehe, you have to survive to have this chance." Marin gave a hint to King Hans on the side, suggesting that it was better to sign the treaty first, and then figure out a way. For example, to denounce Marin or something, at least, to cut off the prince's palm is a heinous crime. If it is done well, it is completely possible for Marin to be excommunicated by the Holy See, and then he will be beaten in groups......
King Hans was really a little tempted, in his opinion, maliciously harming members of the royal family, with such a crime, even if an unequal treaty was signed, it would be possible to repay the debt in the future. After all, his son's small hands that were cut off are bloody evidence......
It's just that what he didn't know was that under Marin's hint, the guards had already removed the "little hand" and didn't give him a chance to distinguish the authenticity......
"Have you figured it out? Your Majesty, I forgot to tell you that after the little prince Francis had his left hand cut off, they didn't have time to help His Royal Highness stop the bleeding. If you're still thinking about this, the little prince Francis may bleed to death...... Listen, the little prince has no strength to scream, and it can be seen that the situation is critical......" Marlin said to King Hans in a flat tone.
King Hans glared at Marin with red eyes, and wanted to curse. But Marin stopped him:
"Don't waste your energy swearing, have you thought about it? If you don't think about it, I'll tell the kitchen to make porridge for Prince Francis, and then serve you a bowl. Even if you don't want to eat it, I'll force you to pour it......" Marin once again showed a nervous and fierce expression like Wu Zhenyu......
"I ......," said King Hans, who was a little frightened.
"Don't 'me, me, me', don't worry, today we will only eat Little Prince Francis. Wait until tomorrow, and we'll eat Queen Christina. The day after tomorrow, eat your brother Prince Frederick...... When my men have caught your eldest son, Prince Christian, we will eat the porridge made by Prince Christian...... Well...... Now you don't have to worry about eating that unpalatable rye mush. In the future, we will eat delicious human meat every day, and it will be your relatives', which is very delicious...... Your Majesty, are you happy? Marin said with a nervous grin at King Hans.
King Hans was frightened on the spot, and he was now sure that Marin must be a madman, and a devil. Only a devil and a madman can behave like this, and he still looks so interested when it comes to cannibalism......
At this time, the Swedish regent Sten Sten, who had dealt with King Hans. Stuure suddenly interjected in Danish:
"Your Majesty, you should go first. Don't you see that? Count Marin is already going mad. If you dare to refuse him, he will dare to kill all your relatives. When all the people are dead, what is the use of keeping those lands and thrones? If you are alive, you can also organize allies to take it back...... Even if you can't get it back, you're still the king of Denmark......"
King Hans was on the verge of a nervous breakdown when he heard old Sten. Sturley's words sounded reasonable, and he couldn't think about it. Because, he "knew" that his youngest son, Francis, whom he loved the most, had his left hand cut off and was still bleeding......
Then King Hans raised his head with red eyes and said:
"I'm signing up with you, but please stop my son's bleeding right away!"
"No problem, I'll send someone!" Then, pretending to send someone to the doctor to "stop the bleeding" for Prince Francis......
After taking a deep breath, King Hans said:
"It is no problem for the Duchy of Holstein and the Duchy of Schleswig to be ceded to you, but I want to stay in the Kingdom of Norway to my poor son Francis. He was hurt by me, and his left hand was cut off, and I intend to leave him the Norwegian throne as compensation......"
Marin has no problem with this. In fact, he did not dare to really ask for the Norwegian throne. Because, the throne of the king is too ostentatious. If he really dared to ask for the throne of Norway and become a king, he would easily become the target of public criticism and be beaten out by the princes who were jealous of him......
Marin is not strong enough to challenge the princes' alliance now, so he can only keep a low profile first. Occupying the Duchy of Schleswig, although it will also be jealous, but with the help of two powerful allies, Lübeck and Hamburg, it is not so dazzling.
"And what about the Swedish coast?" Old Sten. Stoure asked.
"I'll give it all to you!" King Hans said weakly. But he thought in his heart that when the time came, he would find the two electors and the brother-in-law of the King of Scotland to take revenge together...... In addition, you can also go to the Holy See to sue Marin, the man-eating devil, and ask His Majesty the Pope to call on the whole of Europe to kill this devil......
However, on the question of who should own the island of Gotland, Marin and Old Sten. Sture got into an argument. In the end, Marin seemed to have no intention of proposing that he could give up the island of Gotland, but that the areas north of the Arctic Circle in Norway and Sweden should be assigned to him......
"What is the Arctic Circle?" Several others asked in unison.
Marin then took out a map and explained in detail to several other people what latitude was. The so-called Arctic Circle refers to the area north of 66 degrees 34 minutes north latitude, and the general area is assigned to others present.
Although it was said that part of the Norwegian coast would be lost, King Hans did not care. Because, the Arctic Circle region that Marin said is basically empty. Only one backward and barbaric polar race called the Sami (also called the Lapp) lived in that area.
Sweden and Finland are also the same, in the polar regions, there are no natives, only the Sami people operate there. Therefore, neither Denmark nor Sweden have any opinion on the allocation of the polar regions to Marin.
Because, in the polar regions, there is no practical value at present, there are only a few thousand Sámi people, in the polar regions, domesticating reindeer for a living. Of course, along the coast of Norway, there are also some Sami who go to the sea to fish......
The island of Gotland, on the other hand, is far less large than the polar regions. However, it is in a warm zone, where agriculture can be practiced, and it is also a crossroads of trade routes in the Baltic region.
So, old Sten. Stuure felt that he had earned it, and exchanged the useless land of ice and snow for the rich and geographically important island of Gotland.
Marin actually feels that he has also made money, because the high-grade, large-reserve Kiruna iron ore mine in Europe is exactly in the polar range of northern Sweden......
As a result, King Hans of Denmark signed a treaty agreeing to transfer the territory and title of the Duchy of Schleswig to Marin, as well as the territory of the Duchy of Holstein to Lübeck and Hamburg. However, although the Duke of Holstein agreed to the transfer, it was not specified whether it would be given to Lübeck or Hamburg. Obviously, King Hans wanted to use this duke title to drive a wedge between Lübeck and Hamburg, and as a result, he almost succeeded......
In addition, Sweden was given coastal territory and the island of Gotland, and Marin was given territory in the Arctic Circle north of 66°34' north latitude in Norway, Sweden and Finland. Sweden, on the other hand, also agreed that the fleets of Lübeck and Hamburg would be temporarily stationed in the two port cities of Helsingborg and Malmö, on the newly acquired land of Sweden on the eastern shore of the Øresund Strait, in order to control the entire golden waterway. This was discussed when the alliance was formed before.
As for those warships and merchant ships captured by Lübeck and Hamburg, there is no mention of them in the treaty. However, everyone knows very well that Lübeck and Hamburg will never spit out this piece of fat that they eat. Even if Marin asked for a share of the spoils, he only got 150 ordinary merchant ships, and not a single warship......
Of course, because King Hans did not ask for the ships, the Four-Nation Alliance did not ask for reparations anymore. Because, Copenhagen's money was robbed by the coalition forces. Most of the Danish ships were also looted. If you ask for money again, no one will have a boat to do business, and you won't be able to get it......
In this way, this treaty, for the four-nation alliance, can be regarded as a wish. And after the treaty was signed, King Hans seemed to be ten years old, and collapsed to the ground without strength......
After the treaty was signed, Marin sent someone to put away the papers, and then said to King Hans of Denmark with a smile:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for my dishonesty, your lovely little prince Francis, whose left hand is fine, is by the queen's side at this time, go and see it!"
"Uh...... Ahh......h
