The Speaker of Tagfacht had a good plan and was very businessmanlike. But Marin thinks differently......

Marin believes that this time should be the best time to go north to defeat Denmark. Although Saxony is rich, Marin is not bad for money. Therefore, coveting and seizing Jutland and the Kingdom of Norway in Denmark is Marin's greatest goal.

As for the Electorate of Saxony, what good is it for the army to run over and for nothing but robbery? And, even if you catch Frederick III, what do you dare to do with him? He is a very prestigious character among the Seven Electors. Once he suffers, there will certainly be many people in solidarity.

Unlike the "dog-ignorant" aristocracy of George, Duke of Saxony (an exaggeration), Frederick III was one of the seven electors and had a great reputation in the Imperial Diet.

In the original history, Emperor Maximilian I lost the "Swabian War" and his prestige plummeted. The German princes (mainly the Electors) took the lead in setting up a "Reich Management Council", which held the main authority of the Reichstag, and this committee was chaired by Frederick III......

It can be said that Frederick III was the leader of the German princes. Although the Emperor was not defeated in the Swabian War due to Marin's intervention, and the so-called "Imperial Management Council" did not appear, this did not prevent Frederick III from having great influence among the German princes.

Even, in the original history, after the death of Maximilian I in 1519, the electors supported Frederick III as Holy Roman Emperor. But considering the reason for the Habsburgs to take the lead in the resistance to the powerful Ottoman Turks, Frederick III voluntarily abdicated the throne in favor of Charles V......

It can be seen that Frederick III is a hot potato......

If the opponent is caught in the previous decisive battle, it will be forgotten, but if he leads his troops to the lair of Frederick III to besiege the opponent, the other princes in the German region will definitely react fiercely. When the time comes, the princes may force Marin to retreat. Otherwise, it would be a wave of unanimous condemnation, and even the threat of force, from all the German princes (at least most......

The princes could accept Frederick III's defeat on the battlefield and be captured, but if Marin wanted to lay siege to Wittenberg, the capital of the Electorate of Saxony, and do the demolition (in fact, looting), the other princes would not sit idly by.

After all, the Elector of Saxony was the leader of the German princes, and if Marin occupied the Electorate of Saxony, he would be challenging the entire German princely aristocracy......

What's more, Marin was just a little-known knight before, and his appearance and development itself challenged the original German aristocratic system. In addition, Marin was the common enemy of the princes, the man of Maximilian I, and those princes certainly did not want to see Marin destroy the Electorate of Saxony.

Therefore, if he wanted to attack the Elector of Saxony, Marin could imagine how the princes would be blocked......

Whether it was political mediation or military threat, the other princes would not sit idly by and watch the Electorate of Saxony be destroyed by Marin's army. And on the contrary, Marin could not refuse them. Otherwise, it would be an enemy of the whole of Germany......

……

Going north to Denmark was different, and Denmark was not part of the German Empire. Those princes will not have enough to help the Kingdom of Denmark. Only the Electors of Saxony and Brandenburg, which had close ties of union with Denmark, would speak for Denmark.

Since Marin and his allies last ceded the Duchy of Schleswig and Holstein, the current Kingdom of Denmark has nothing to do with Germany.

In addition, the Electorate of Saxony and the Electorate of Brandenburg, which supported Denmark, were defeated by Marin's army, so the current Denmark is an isolated and unlucky bastard, no matter how Marin kneades.

Although it is said that if they want to completely annex Denmark, European countries will definitely not agree. However, it is difficult for other countries to say anything if they take large tracts of land from Denmark (such as Jutland) and rob the Kingdom of Norway and leave only a few small islands such as the Danish island of Zealand.

After all, Marin didn't do anything, and kept the crown of Zealand and Denmark......

According to the prevailing norms in the European aristocracy at this time, the loser will definitely pay the price. Therefore, it is reasonable to let them cede territory and pay compensation for their money - who told you to lose......

But to wipe out a country completely is different. This kind of bad example cannot be opened. Otherwise, wouldn't there be a lot of war on the European continent? Do you want to be happy to be a nobleman?

Of course, if it's in a remote place like the British Isles, which everyone can't manage, then there is no way. After all, at this time, navigation was not developed, and everyone could not afford to reach out to the poor countryside of the British Isles......

Therefore, the competition for the throne of England is very high, but the European countries on the continent can not interfere much, and if they want to interfere, they must have ships......

And on land, especially in Germany, where the princes are everywhere and there are many knights like dogs, if you want to do something, you must take into account the opinions of other princes. Unless, you are very strong and have many allies. If you annex another country, and there is a group of allies cheering on the sidelines, and shouting "666", such a bull, everyone will not have an opinion, and they will not dare to have an opinion...... Because you have many brothers, whoever disobeys will be cut off......

But Marin is different, from the moment he became a nobleman with the help of the power of Emperor Maximilian I, he was labeled as an "emperor". Maximilian I, who was brainless in his youth, shouted the slogan of "centralization" and became the public enemy of all German princes. Marin followed the emperor, but he was actually implicated.

Therefore, Marin wanted to lead his troops to the Electorate of Saxony and the Electorate of Brandenburg, which would definitely cause a backlash from the princes.

Perhaps, they will think that this is a temptation for Marin, as the vanguard of Maximilian I, to begin the unification of Germany......

Marin now regrets that he had followed Maximilian I, but now it's a bit of trouble to quit. Anyway, now that he is sent by the emperor, if he quits the emperor's faction but is not accepted by the princes' faction, then he is really not a person inside and out......

Marin told the two speakers of his worries, and after thinking about it, the two speakers had to admit that Marin's worries were not groundless. Moreover, the Lübeck and Hamburgers can also be faintly seen that Marin was ostracized by most of the nobility......

However, it is precisely because of this that Marin needs forces such as Lübeck and Hamburg as allies. If you were to be a prince who was well mixed in the aristocratic circles, who would want to form an alliance with merchant-dominated cities like Lübeck and Hamburg? Perhaps, when you need to borrow money, you will give Lübeck and Hamburg a good look. In normal times, he looked down on the merchants of Lübeck and Hamburg. Unless, they owe a lot of money to Lübeck and Hamburg......

Speakers of Tagfacht and Heisenberg were also helpless, and they also understood that as Hanseatic commercial cities, if they trampled on the lands of the Electors of Saxony and Brandenburg together with Marin and plundered the wealth there, the two cities would also become a thorn in the side of the nobles......

Fortunately, this time they won. In any case, it must be possible to extort a large sum of money from the two electors. Even, it is possible to cede some land (although it has nothing to do with them). After all, the victor is qualified to do so......

Since the Electors of Saxony and Brandenburg are somewhat unmoved, then ...... Let all your anger be taken out on the Kingdom of Denmark......

Marin has land claims to Denmark, and Lübeck and Hamburg have their own claims......

This time, they intended to force Denmark to abandon the development of its own maritime trade, and let the merchant ships of Lübeck and Hamburg take on the task of transporting Danish foreign trade. In this way, Denmark will not have to worry about taking the opportunity to revive its navy.

All that was to force Denmark to sign an agreement to give up its navy altogether and hand over all maritime transport to the merchant ships of Lübeck and Hamburg...... The Kingdom of Denmark, then, will never have a chance to rise and compete with the Hanseatic League......

Overall, Denmark is better to bully......

So, Marin and the two Speakers unanimously decided that we would join hands to bully a little pot friend named "Denmark......
