In Dresden, the capital of the Principality of Saxony, Duke Albrecht suddenly stood up in excitement:
"What did you say? The Republic of Friesland was beaten to death?"
"Yes, Lord Duke, this is the message from the Saxon Hansa merchants in Groningen!"
Saxony is a huge group in Germany, and the Saxons are also a large group. Even the "Saxon" of the British Anglo-Saxons is actually the Saxon.
In the Hanseatic League, the Saxons are also very powerful. Among the Hanseatic Leagues, the Saxon business district is the second strongest business district among the four major business districts of the league (Wende, Saxony, Prussia and Livonia, and Rhine) North Sea-Wende Business District along the Baltic Sea. This is because the Wende business district has taken advantage of shipping, otherwise, the Saxony business district is no worse.
Therefore, the financial and military strength of the Saxony department is very strong. Although, the Saxony electorate was divided up by the brothers Ernst and Albrecht in 1464. However, the brothers have always had a good relationship. Ernst won more than half of the territory and the title of electorate, while Albrecht also won a large area of territory and the title of Duke of Saxony.
Because the Hanseatic Alliance of the Saxony is very strong and supports the two great nobles of Saxony, the two giants of Saxony have never been short of money. Even if they are short of money, some Hansa merchants are willing to lend to them.
公 The Duke of Albrecht is an ambitious man who wants to expand his territory. Of course, his brother has a good relationship with him. Therefore, he was embarrassed to fight for territory with his brother. Therefore, he can only look elsewhere.
At the beginning, after the daring battle of Charles, the Principality of Burgundy was in chaos. With the support of France, Frisian, originally annexed by the bold Charlie, became independent again. That's it. The Friesland region is not an economically developed region. But then there was a serious rebellion in Flanders with the secret support of France.
At the time, Austria, under the control of the Habsburgs, was taken over half by Hungary's Magas I, and even WYN was lost.
The desperate Maximilian I, after taking over the position of King of Germany, was unable to fight on both sides, and was unwilling to give up the Flanders region, which is the most developed and most taxed lowland country. Therefore, Maximilian I asked his cousin, Duke Albrecht, for help.
Albrecht happily took tens of thousands of troops to Flanders in 1491. After months of fighting, the insurgency in Flanders was quelled, and taxes in this area were regained in Maximilian In my life.
However, the Duke of Albrecht is not a fool. At that time, the Duke of Albrecht paid attention to the independent Frisian Republic and demanded this land as a reward for the rebellion. However, Maximilian I originally agreed to this clause because of the urgent situation. Of course, this is not for nothing. After all, the place in Friesland is huge. Not only is the Principality of Saxony coveted, but other major forces, such as the Principality of Gerdes near the Republic of Friesland, are also staring at this place.
Although the emperor puppet verbally promised to give this place to the Duke of Albrecht, he also hinted at the time that the Duke of Saxony needed to guarantee the emperor and let the emperor borrow hundreds of thousands of gold coins from Hansa merchants ...
This is not a small amount. Although it is borrowed, the borrower must also be prepared to make money. After all, the repayment ability of the emperor ... was not much different from Lao Lai ...
No, the Duke of Saxony took a long time to get many Hansa merchants of the Saxony department to agree to lend 300,000 gold coins to the emperor.
However, Marin was born, allowing the emperor to suddenly get more than 1 million gold coins. Even if relatives and Swabian aristocrats "borrowed" 400,000 gold coins, and the old account of more than 100,000 gold coins was settled, the emperor still had more than 400,000 gold coins. Therefore, the emperor is not bad money now. For the request of the Duke of Saxony to use a loan of 300,000 gold coins in exchange for the jurisprudence of the Frisian Republic, the emperor deliberately pretended not to see ...
After all, in such a large area, the emperor really couldn't bear to give the Duke of Saxony like this. Even, the emperor was still thinking of getting it. When Marin came to file, the emperor began to secretly prepare to seize Frisian ...
However, although the emperor is stronger than the Duke of Saxony, he is not as convenient as the Duke of Saxony to gather soldiers. Because the Duke of Saxony originally had five or six thousand standing troops. Ernst, Duke of Saxony, also has thousands of standing troops. Although the Emperor had more horses than the Duke of Saxony, he needed to guard against the Hungarians. To free up soldiers and horses, it is much more troublesome and generally requires separate recruitment.
Moreover, in order to recover Flanders, the emperor did promise to give Friesland to the Duke of Albrecht. And the emperor in the Imperial Parliament also needs the support of the powerful Saxon nobility.
When the Duke of Saxony left Innsbruck in Marin, he also rushed to Innsbruck, and the emperor asked for Frisian ...
"Cousin Albrecht, you said you want Friesland?" The emperor was taken aback. He had just planned to annex Friesland, and the Duke of Saxon came.
In fact, in addition to preparing the money, the Duke of Saxony also considered that the Friesland Republic's army was now disabled and easier to attack. At this time, as long as he rushed into Friesland with his superiors, there was no reason not to win. What's more, he still has a killer ...
"Yes, Your Majesty, you promised me that you would give Frislan to me, but you can't believe it."
"Yes ... yes, but ..."
"I know, there are still loans. You see, this is an IOU. The minister contacted a lot of Hansa merchants, and they agreed to provide you with a loan of 300,000 gold coins at a very low interest ..."
"300,000 gold coins ... but it's not bad money now ..." Maximilian I had been happy for a while, but thought of his own financial strength now, he refused.
"Oh, if your Majesty agrees, 100,000 gold coins can be returned ..."
"What do you mean?"
"The minister is willing to exchange 100,000 gold coins plus 200,000 interest-free loans in exchange for Frisian, and that year, you promised to give Frisian to the minister ..." Hanseatic City, it's a blood loss ...
The emperor tangled for a long time, and finally nodded his teeth:
"Ok……"
For such a large site in Friesland ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Although the emperor was reluctant. But the emperor also knew that if he refused the Duke of Saxony, he might be in a much more difficult situation in the Imperial Parliament in the future. After all, in the Imperial Parliament, in addition to the Swabian aristocracy and the Hapsburg family, only the Saxon aristocracy was willing to vote for him. Moreover, the number of aristocrats in the Saxony is quite large, and the power is still quite large ...
He added that the matter had been promised verbally before, and the emperor had to bear the pain to give Friesland to the Duke of Saxony. However, prior to the two islands Frisian paid to Marin, the emperor specifically stated that he had given it to Marin. In this regard, the Duke of Albrecht cannot deny. Because the small broken islands were not conspicuous in the medieval period, even in the later period.
