Chapter 125: Bloody Little Palm

After receiving a message from Marin that Copenhagen had been conquered and that the Danish king had been captured, Lübeck Speaker Tag Facht and Hamburg Speaker Heisenberg rushed to Copenhagen with several important subordinates to discuss with Marin about dividing the fruits of victory.

In addition, on the Swedish side, after hearing about the Copenhagen incident, the old Sten. Stuure himself had come to Copenhagen by boat from the sea.

Today, the Danish army still occupies the southern part of Sweden. However, because the mainland was under siege, the Danish army was panicked and no longer attacked.

Originally, the Danish army was also counting on the army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow to flank Sweden from the north and south. However, before the troops of the Grand Duchy of Moscow had conquered the Finnish region, they received news of a massive invasion of the Ryazan principality by the cavalry of the Crimean Khanate. Prince Vasily, who was regent, was taken aback and quickly transferred back the main corps in Finland to fend off a possible attack by the Crimean Khanate.

You must know that although the Grand Duchy of Moscow can mobilize 200,000 troops, the real elite is still the more than 20,000 standing troops. The rest of the soldiers and horses were all conscripts. Even if called, it was no match for the fierce Tatar cavalry of the Crimean Khanate.

As a result, the Danish army was in a bit of a dilemma in Sweden. Because, without the cooperation of the troops of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, they would not have the confidence to attack the Swedes.

I don't know who sent the news to Sweden, but when Marin went to invite Lübeck and the two Speakers of Hamburg, the elder Sten. Sturley also received the message. It seems that the information was sent from the Danes.

Marin also forgot to inform the Swedes, because this attack on Copenhagen was all contributed by East Friesland, Lübeck and Hamburg. The Swedes, on the other hand, were still cowering in their hometowns to resist the attack of the Danish army. So, Marin forgot about Sweden.

But shortly after the arrival of the Grand Speaker of Lübeck and Hamburg, the elder Sten. Sturley's ship also arrived. Now there are almost no Danish ships left in the Baltic. Old Sten. Sturley came to Copenhagen by boat and there was little danger.

The reason why I came so anxiously was because old Sten. Stuure knew in his heart that this was a spoils conference against Denmark. If the Swedes fail to catch up, then they will suffer a big loss. In particular, the coastal areas at the southern tip of Scandinavia, where Sweden is located, are currently under Danish control, including the large island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea. That is, Sweden is now under the control of the Danes, both in the south and in the southwest.

And the old Sten. Sturley came this time, in fact, to seize the access to the Atlantic. Especially in places like Gothenburg in the southwest, the old Sten. Sturley has been coveting for a long time. And, for the central location of the Baltic Sea on the island of Gotland, the old Sten. Stuure is also salivating.

You must know that Gotland, as a transportation hub on the Baltic Sea, used Denmark's trade with Lithuania and the Grand Duchy of Moscow as a transit point. This time, if Sweden can grab all the coastal areas, plus the island of Gotland, it will be developed......

The Quartet gathered, and Marin also invited out the Danish King Hans, who had been tortured to the point of madness these days. After eating rye porridge for many days in a row, King Hans lost a lot of weight.

When the five parties gather, they can naturally start negotiations. However, King Hans of Denmark refused to cooperate, saying that he would not be willing to negotiate until the Electors of Saxony and Brandenburg were present.

Where is the Quadripartite Alliance willing to wait for these two Electors to come over and make peace? They are all in-laws of the Danish royal family, and they will definitely make trouble when they come. Therefore, the treaty with Denmark must be finalized before the two electors react, otherwise, there will be a lot of dreams.

Moreover, the conditions given by the four-nation alliance were also very harsh, so it is no wonder that King Hans of Denmark refused to accept them. The conditions of the Four-Power Alliance were to cede the Duchy of Schleswig, the Duchy of Holstein, the Kingdom of Norway, and to give Sweden the coast of Sweden and the island of Gotland. At the same time, the independent status of Sweden was recognized, and Sweden should no longer be attacked.

If King Hans agreed to this clause, he would have lost a throne, two dukedoms, and most of the territory of the Kalmar Alliance. This kind of treaty could not have been accepted by King Hans, and he was not willing to die. If Denmark had only the little land left in the Kingdom of Denmark, in an instant, Denmark would have become a small country of second or third rate.

Of course, this is also the lion of the four-nation alliance opening his mouth, choosing a high price, and then waiting for negotiations. However, in this case, the Danes are not in a position to negotiate. For the king and his ministers have become captives......

According to the private agreement of the Four-Power Alliance, if King Hans of Denmark agreed to this condition, then the Kingdom of Norway and the throne belonged to Marin. The Duchy of Schleswig and Holstein were divided between Lübeck and Hamburg. The coast of Sweden and the island of Gotland belong to Sweden.

In addition, the division of all the captured warships and merchant ships of Denmark was divided equally between Lübeck and Hamburg, and Marin received 200 merchant ships......

At the same time, an area of up to 3,145 square kilometers of Gotland belongs to Marin and Old Sten. Sture also got into an argument. Because, Marin also gained a foothold in the Baltic Sea. What's more, this foothold is so large that it is almost the size of the East Friesian Lamber......

King Hans almost fainted when he heard the conditions proposed by the Four-Nation Alliance—this was not to cut the flesh of Denmark, but to destroy it......

Therefore, he could only pretend to be crazy and stupid, hoping that the two electors who were in-laws would come to the rescue, and at the same time, cut off most of these excessive conditions. Otherwise, Denmark really can't get along......

In the face of King Hans, who pretended to be crazy and stupid, everyone was also very helpless. After all, they are all people who talk about the rules, so they can't torture King Hans to extract a confession......

While eating, the kitchen made turnip soup. The so-called turnips are actually kohlrabi. It is not a radish, but it looks like a white radish. Therefore, some people call it "European radish". This is because it originated in Europe and has not yet spread to Asia.

Seeing the white and tender turnip meat cut open, Marin was suddenly a little stunned, and remembered some memories of his previous life......

Before the crossing, Marin was an expert carver. Once, he and his old classmates learned to carve seals with radishes and give people fake certificates. However, Marin is a principled man. In the end, despite his talent for carvering turnips, Marin did not mix with the ploughing gang, but chose to go to work honestly.

However, the craft of radish carving has been retained and has not been lost. On the New Year's before the crossing, Marin used to carve a large bag of radishes into the shape of a child's hand, and smeared it with ketchup like blood, looking like a child's tender hand that had just been cut off.

Marin then took the carved prosthetic hand and used it to scare his nephew, Marlon, who was only 5 years old. As a result, Xiao Malone was directly frightened and fainted. Then, Marin was beaten by his parents for a "mixed doubles......

Thinking of this, Marin couldn't help but laugh, and then became sad again—because he could never go back to his home in his previous life. That timid nephew, Ma Long, will never be seen again......

At this time, his subordinates suddenly came to report that King Hans's youngest son, Prince Francis, who was only 5 years old, was clamoring to see his father......

Marin became a little impatient and wanted to order his men to take the little prince and beat him up as punishment. However, looking at the turnip on the dinner table and the white radish that he wanted very much, Marin, who had a bad stomach, suddenly had an idea of lack of morality......

Then, Marin ordered someone to go to the market and buy a batch of turnips. Then, with the two Speakers and the elder Sten. Sturley muttered sharply. Several bigwigs laughed happily and bluntly said that Marin was "too bad", but ...... They like......

Then, Marin took King Hans's youngest son, Prince Francis, who was only 5 years old, and beat him up in front of King Hans, and observed King Hans's reaction by the way......

Sure enough, King Hans cared deeply about his young son. Seeing Marin beating his son, he almost wanted to rush over and fight Marin. However, he was held back by Marin's guards......

"Very well, you just care about your little son!" Marin nodded in satisfaction, and led Prince Francis to a small room by the kitchen, where he took out his carving knife......

After a night's work, Marin carved dozens of turnip crafts, and then, picking out the most satisfying one, left the room......

The next day, when the negotiations continued, and King Hans still did not cooperate, Marin suddenly stood up with a sneer and said:

"Don't keep me waiting too long, old dog, if you provoke me, I'll kill you!" After saying that, Marin stepped forward directly, kicked King Hans to the ground with a big foot. The two Speakers and the old Sten. Sture quickly grabbed Marin and told him not to be impulsive.

King Hans of Denmark was also frightened, thinking that Marin was really impatient and wanted to kill him. It's just that he didn't see that the two Grand Speakers and the Swedish regent who were blocking Marin had a smile on their faces......

As if his patience had run out, Marin suddenly shouted:

"Someone, bring the little prince Francis, I will kill him in front of the old dog Hans!"

The three allies continued to persuade Marin to calm down. However, Marin, who had quieted down, told the Danish king Hans an oriental story:

"About 2,500 years ago, in the Eastern Empire, a king named Su, hearing that a prince named Ji Chang was disobedient, locked him up and his son. The king was so cruel that he killed Ji Chang's son Bo Yi Kao, threw him into a pot, and boiled it into porridge. Then, he also forced Ji Chang to eat a bowl of meat porridge made by his own son......" Speaking of this, Ma Lin's eyes exuded a crazy and bloodthirsty light......

As if sensing something was wrong, King Hans of Denmark asked nervously:

"You...... Why are you talking to me about this? ”

"Hehe......" Marin suddenly smiled gently, and then said:

"I don't do anything, I admire Your Majesty's courage, so I'm going to treat you to a bowl of meat soup made by your son!"

"Huh?" King Hans was so frightened that he almost tumbled off his chair, but it was easy to calm his mind.

"You...... You...... You...... If you do this, you will be spurned by the whole world! His Majesty the Pope will also recognize you as a demon! ”

"What about spitting? I'm not happy now, and I want to kill the kid and play with it. You don't inquire, I've killed more children. A few days ago, some people rushed up to the city and turned against the water, and in a fit of rage, I killed more than 100 people, most of them were old and weak women and children, and babies who were not full moon......" Marin said in a sharp voice, his tone full of hysteria and madness......

"I ...... I...... I don't believe it, you dare to risk the world's condemnation and kill the prince of a kingdom......" Speaking of this, Hans's confidence is quite insufficient.

"You'll see, I'll give you a chance. In this way, I will first cut off the little hand of your son Francis, and let you eat it. You may be more cooperative......" Marlin smiled softly at King Hans.

"You...... Don't mess around...... Deal...... It is ...... for me to cede Dietmarshin to you," said King Hans.

However, Dietmarshin was not under Danish control in the first place, and it was only a county in size. King Hans was quite shrewd in his calculations.

"What do you send to beg for food? Our four-nation alliance dispatched more than 40,000 troops, more than 200 warships and 20,000 sailors, and also captured Copenhagen, and captured you, the king, and you ceded a mere Dietmarshin? Marlin roared nervously.

"That'...... So what do you want? King Hans was a little frightened.

"On our terms, cede the Kingdom of Norway, the Duchy of Schleswig, the Duchy of Holstein, the coast of Sweden, and the island of Gotland! In addition, the captured ships are ours! ”

"This can't be, do you want Denmark to finish?" King Hans shouted.

"Hehe, I don't know if Denmark is finished, but I know that your whole family is almost finished. I'll kill your youngest son Francis first, and then your queen. Well, tomorrow I will send troops to Sweden and capture your eldest son on the front line and kill ......"

"Are you crazy? If you kill indiscriminately like this, you will cause public outrage! In particular, you are also planning to massacre members of the royal family! King Hans screamed in anger. If Marin was doing that, he would be the death of his family.

"Hmph, what about causing public outrage? Your whole family is dead, and the two thrones and the two dukes' positions are vacant. When the time comes, the entire Kalmar Alliance will be ours! ”

"Even if you kill my entire family, the throne of Denmark will not be yours. Because, I still have relatives! ”

"Don't worry, my relatives in Oldenburg have all been arrested by me. They have been beaten to my knees, and have declared that they have handed over the Earl of Oldenburg to me. When your family dies, they are the direct heirs. It's a big deal, I'll beat them up again, and force them to give me the throne they deserve. You, on the other hand, will not be able to see that day, because your whole family is dead...... As for your daughter, she has no children yet, and I will send an assassin to assassinate her......" Marin said nervously to King Hans, learning from the fierce expression of Wu Zhenyu, who played the villain in the movie.

"I ...... I...... I...... I...... No...... Don't believe it......" Seeing the crazy Marin, King Hans was so frightened that his legs weakened. He remembered that Marin had indeed carried out a massacre outside the city of Riber before, and indeed killed some old and weak women and children outside the city of Copenhagen. Moreover, it is said that once upon a time, when he seized the throne of the Earl of East Friesland, Marin killed all the opposition nobles - this is a murderer......

"I don't need you to believe it, just wait and see, I'll cut off your youngest son's left palm first, so that you, as a father, can taste it, what do you think?" Marin said impatiently.

"You...... Other...... "King Hans was a little scared, but there was still a hint ......of luck in his heart.

"Well, it looks like you're not cooperating. Someone, bring the little prince Francis...... Chop off the left hand ......"

"Ah...... No...... You can't ...... like that" King Hans went up and pulled Marin, trying to stop him from giving orders. Soon, however, King Hans was stopped by Marin's guards.

After a while, the little prince Francis was brought up, his face full of fear. Marin waved his hand and said:

"Take him next door and cut off his left hand!"

Then the poor little Prince Francis, who was only 5 years old, was taken to the next room. Soon, the miserable cry of the little prince Francis was heard:

"Ahh It hurts—Father, help me! Help me...... Yes...... It hurts......"

King Hans was still dying, and he didn't believe that Marlin could be so brutal.

However, after a while, a plate came from next door, and in the plate was a small white and tender hand, which was covered with blood, which seemed to be still hot, steaming, and smelling of blood......

"Ah-you devil-" King Hans, seeing that the bloody little palm on the plate really resembled his son's white and tender little hand, was at once so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood, and then fainted on the spot......
