"Asshole! Asshole! This bastard, Albrecht, grabbed my place!" In the castle of Denborg, Marin was furious when he learned that Saxony captured Groningen. Moreover, in order to vent his anger, Marin waved a one-handed sword and broke a lot of furniture.

Alas, Marin had no choice. Because, in terms of strength, Marinby is not Albrecht, Duke of Saxony. Even if Marin wanted to oppose, he didn't have that strength.

More importantly, giving Friesland to the Duke of Saxony was an order from the emperor. Moreover, the scriptures stated that this was an agreement reached in 1492, only to be implemented in 1497.

Alas, Marin clearly remembers that the history book said that the Duke of Saxony won Friesland only around 1500 ...

In fact, Marin did not know that in history, the Duke of Saxony did not occupy Friesland until 1498. The reason for the early occupation of Friesland was because Marin maimed Friesland's army, causing Albrecht, Duke of Saxony to see the opportunity in advance, so he sent troops to occupy Friesland in advance.

What's more terrible is that Marin detained 1,000 Frisian veterans to let them work hard in the Wadden Islands (West Frisian Islands). This also caused Friesland to lack sufficient troops to respond to the invasion of the Duke of Saxony.

In other words, all previous efforts of Marin made wedding clothes for the Duke of Saxony ...

So Marin was so angry that he was so ill ...

Even when he was ill, Marin was indignant in bed, cursing the Duke of Saxony in his mouth or heart, and supporting the Duke of Saxony to capture Emperor Maximilian I of Friesland. Of course, the cursing of the emperor was cursed in his heart, and he did not dare to curse on the surface. After all, he was an emperor, cursing the emperor with his mouth, and spreading it was not good for himself. However, in his heart, Marin hated the Duke of Saxony and the emperor ...

In fact, the emperor is also very wronged. This matter was really an oral agreement reached with the Duke of Saxony in 1492. In fact, the emperor did not want to implement this agreement. However, the emperor lacked help in the quarrel in the Imperial Parliament and had to win over the Saxon nobility. Therefore, he could only accept the transfer of Friesland to the Duke of Saxony. In this way, the emperor can also get some money for compensation. However, he didn't know that his powerful thug Marin, because of this, hated him. Moreover, this resentment was so powerful that Marin later broke the Emperor. Of course, even if the event is broken, the emperor is not very clear ...

After all, Marin is very young, and he is fast. After the illness, Marin still had a fire in his heart that had nowhere to vent. So he went hunting with a gun. After killing many innocent animals, Marin finally vented a lot of resentment in his heart.

After the anger reduced, Marin began to think about countermeasures ...

公 The Duke of Saxony has occupied the main cities of Friesland, and full control of Friesland is just around the corner. According to Marin's people, Governor Fyskefrijheid and several Frisian nobles, as well as their hundreds of elites, are still hiding in the swamp area north of Leeuwarden near the North Sea.

The Saxons were unfamiliar with swamp areas and rushed into the marshes, especially cavalry. So, for the time being Fyskefrijheid and others are safe. Relying on their familiarity with the swamp, they can indeed hide for a long time. But as long as the Duke of Saxony found a guide who was also familiar with the swamp area, they were in danger.

I didn't get Frisian myself, Marin felt very aggrieved. As a result, Marin, whose anger had not yet dissipated, decided to block the Duke of Saxony and prevent him from obtaining a stable Frisian.

The Frisian people have been independent for hundreds of years, and these local nobles have a great influence in the local area. Earlier, these local nobles were actually chiefs of the local Frisian tribe, and had high prestige within their respective tribe.

As long as these people are alive, it is easy to do something locally with their appeal. So Marin decided to help these people against the Duke of Saxony.

According to European history read by Marin in his last life, the occupation of Friesland by the Duke of Saxony caused the puppet of the Duchy of Gerdes, south of the Republic of Friesland.

Charles II of the Egmond family, Duke of guedes, was a very ambitious man. The Principality of Gerdes was once conquered by bold Charles, but during the Flemish Uprising from 1491 to 1492, Charles II took the opportunity to free the Principality from the rule of Maximilian I, only on the surface Surrender, in fact, achieved autonomy.

In the original history, this monarch has been dissatisfied after the Duke of Saxony occupied the Republic of Friesland. Friesland is near the Principality of Geddes, and is a “land without land”, which has always been the target of the Principality of Geddes. Now, suddenly occupied by the Principality of Saxony, the Duke of Charles II naturally disagrees and unhappy.

As a result, in the original history, the Duke of Charles II privately strongly supported the Frisians and rebelled against the rule of the Duke of Saxony. Even, sometimes the Principality of Gerdes went shirtless, head to head with the Principality of Saxony.

Although the Principality of Saxony is stronger than the Principality of Gerdes. However, Friesland is too far away from the Principality of Saxony. Even if the Principality of Saxony can gather tens of thousands of troops, it cannot be kept in Friesland. And every time a large army is dispatched from Saxony to fight in Friesland, the cost is huge.

Charles II supported the Frisians in their insurgency and sometimes sent troops to attack him, giving George Albrecht's successor, George, a headache. In order to prevent the invasion of the Principality of Gerdes, Duke George spent too much money and energy to prevent the infiltration and attack of the Principality of Gerdes. For this reason, the exhausted Duke George finally sold Friesland to the Habsburgs.

Marin knew this, and naturally knew the weakness of the Duke of Saxony. Although the Principality of Saxony is powerful, Friesland is too far away from its homeland and it is difficult to deploy troops. Therefore, inciting the locals to rebel, and encouraging the Principality of Gerdes to participate in it, even if they can not defeat the people of the Saxon Principality, they can make the Principality of Saxony more than worth it.

The resistance of the Frisian people, it is more appropriate to let these 9 local nobles lead. Although, these people have limited capabilities. However, with the support of the Duke of Gerdes, they could also explode into a powerful force, causing great trouble to the Duke of Albrecht.

To this end, Marin thought repeatedly, ordered Sauer to quietly take people to the marshlands north of Leeuwarden, to find the former Governor of the Friesian Republic, Fyskefrijheid and others, and to help them leave Friesland.

大部分 Most of Friesland is under the control of Albrecht, Duke of Saxony, and it is not meaningful to stay in Friesland at this time. Moreover, these nine nobles are also afraid of death. If besieged by the Saxon army, they may surrender.

But sending them to the Duchy of Gerdes had no problems. The Principality of Gerdes was very thick, and he was not afraid of the anger of the Duke of Saxony, and he could take these people. With these well-regarded Frisian aristocrats, Charlie, Duke of Gerdes, can also make a big fuss, causing great trouble to the Duke of Albrecht ...

Gaucher quickly found Fyskefrijheid and others, and persuaded them to leave Friesland and go to the Duchy of Gerdes. However, Fyskefrijheid also struggled. From the north of Leeuwarden to the southwest border of Pygdez, many Saxon troops were stationed. Relying on more than 300 people, it is difficult to reach the Principality of Gerdes safely. Moreover, these people did not know the mind of the Duke of Gerdes.

绍 When Sauer told them that the Duke of Gerdes was also very interested in the Friesland region, Governor Fyskefrijheid shook his head:

不 "No, no, no, I don't want to go to Duke Charlie. Since he's also jealous of Frisian, what's the difference between him and the Duke of Saxony? Let's go to him, not with the lion's hide (Europe has no tigers)?"

"No, Lord Governor, you are wrong. Of course, the Duke of Gerdes is frisian, but it is the Duke of Saxony who is currently occupying Friesland. Although the Duke of Charlie is not at ease, he must be sure before occupying the Friesland area. Will raise you as babies. Because of you, he will have an excuse to interfere in Frisian affairs! Now, for the Duke of Gerdes, you are babies and excuses! "

"We are useful?"

"correct!"

"But I'm afraid the Duke of Gerdes will be hacking us ..." Governor Fyskefrijheid worried.

"Here you can rest assured that he will not fight against you until he captures Friesland. Of course, you will have to run away before he captures Friesland. But before he captures Friesland, you can do it Use them to fight with the Duke of Saxony. The two lions will inevitably suffer damage. After the war between the two sides, their strength will definitely be greatly reduced. At that time, you can pull up your team and you can be independent again ... "Sauer I took a look at the notes Marin gave me and said a lot of "line" ...

"It makes sense ... we use the power of the Duke of Gerdes to weaken the Duke of Saxony. When the power of the Duke of Saxony weakens, we can rise again ... Don't forget the Parisian ..." Baron Leeuwarden Tel reminded.

Everyone came to realize that they had a lot of cards in their hands ...

As a result, nine noble members of the congress agreed to stay in the Duchy of Gerdes. For traffic problems, this is not a problem. Marin had already prepared two warships that had been snatched from Friesland to transport them in batches ...

However, this seems to be useless. After arriving at the beach, the original local lord, Zetter, directly recruited a large number of local fishermen, drove fishing boats, and sent them to Lelystad, the port of the Principality of Gerdes.

At the same time, Marin also sent a message ~ www.novelhall.com ~ If Governor Fyskefrijheid and others draw sponsorship, Marin will return 1,000 former Frisian veterans who worked as hard labor on the islands to them Against the Duke of Saxony.

Twenty-nine MPs were overjoyed. They now only have 370 people, and they can't make a splash. If the 1,000 veterans return, they will have a thousand or hundreds of soldiers. These forces may not be able to confront the Duke of Saxony in the front, but they are enough to cause great damage to the Frisian region, and can even occupy a small area to survive.

Moreover, with more than a thousand people in their hands, they need not worry about being killed by the Duke of Gerdes at any time. After all, they now have 120 martial arts knights, plus more than 120 elite epeemen in the 1,000 prisoners of war, and sophisticated generals such as Siwag. With these people, they have more confidence in the restoration of the country.

After doing this, Marin felt a lot better. To be sure, these arrangements can definitely cause great trouble to the Duke of Saxony. And myself, it seems to be a lot easier. After all, the chance to become a great lord was destroyed by the Duke of Saxony, and he had to continue to be the island lord, and Marin was full of resentment after all. Marin would not be reconciled without giving the Duke Albrecht trouble.

In fact, Marin's real intention was to have the Duchy of Gerdes toss the Duke of Saxony to a collapse. Finally, he came forward again, pretending to be good, and bought Frisian from the Duke of Saxony to clean up the mess. This process may take a long time, but it is definitely enough for the Duchy of Saxony to drink a pot. In the process, Marin will accumulate enough power, but fortunately, he can manage the scene at the end ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Welcome the book readers to read, the latest, fastest and most popular serial works are in ~ www .novelhall.com ~ Please read for mobile users.
