After hearing the inquiry of Count Antonios, the two Dukes Henry who were drinking Count's milk tea were stunned, but after looking at each other, they did not answer immediately, as if they were thinking about something.

At this time, Magnus I, the Duke of Saxony-Laughnburg, suddenly raised another question:

"Everyone, in war, we should pay attention to the fact that the army is famous. This time we gathered 40,000 troops. It is logical that there is no problem to deal with 10,000 people from Beihai Kingdom. The question is - what kind of name should we attack Beihai Kingdom?"

Hearing this, the other princes were stunned - Yes, the generals of war must be famous, especially the great nobles, who pay attention to this most. We can't say it publicly, I just want to loot the Beihai Kingdom, right?

The other princes were a little stunned, only Charlie, Earl of Gelden, looked confident and seemed confident...

Henry, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbitel, saw Charlie's face and asked:

"Earl Charlie, what do you think?"

Charlie took a sip of milk tea slowly and said slowly:

"It is definitely not possible to fight without declaration, but we can't find an excuse to declare war. After all, Beihai Kingdom did not mess with us. So, I thought of a good idea..."

"What's the solution?" Six pairs of eyes looked eagerly at Charlie, Earl of Gelden.

"Tsk, a bunch of waste, I can't even think of an idea!" Charlie, the former Duke of Gedder, now Earl of Gelden, thought disdainfully.

Of course, on the surface, he didn't dare to say that, but said calmly:

"We can lead our army into the Beiminster area in the name of suppressing bandits..."

"Suppress the bandits?" the six people said in unison, but they all had doubts.

"Yes, suppress the bandits!" Earl Charlie affirmed.

"No, even if we suppress the bandits, how could we go to the Beihai Kingdom? This doesn't make sense..." Otto VIII, Earl of Tecklenburg, said in confusion.

Earl Charlie rolled his eyes and explained:

"Of course we shouldn't go to other countries to suppress bandits, but what about the bandits in our country wandering into other countries? We have nothing to chase after them, right?"

"But there is no need to suppress the bandits, right? Besides, where are the bandits?" asked Simon V, Earl of Liper.

Earl Charlie wants to overturn the table - it's a bunch of pig teammates...

But he explained patiently:

"Without a bandit, we can 'make' - from now on, we have specially selected a group of light cavalry to pretend to be horse bandits and wander around the northern parts of Ravensburg and Liperbo..."

"Then, Lord Antonios and Lord Simon, you deliberately asked for help from our countries... In this way, it is reasonable for us to gather 40,000 troops over soon? We are here to help suppress the bandits..."

"But there is no need to suppress the bandits and the army is 40,000..." Simon V said depressedly. This child is too honest.

"How many people do you care about? We just need to find an excuse. Just have an excuse, do it be reasonable or not!" Earl Charlie said angrily.

At this time, Henry, the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, nodded:

"Yes, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, we just need a decent excuse. As for whether it is reasonable or not, don't worry. Because most of the princes in the Imperial Court did not like Beihai, and they hoped that Beihai would be unlucky. If Lord Frederick from Saxony had not led his troops to Baden, he might have taken the lead in causing trouble for Beihai. After all, they had a grudge before. But if Lord Frederick took the lead in sending troops, we might not have had anything to do..."

In fact, Henry, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, had a close relationship with Frederick III. Because his wife, Madame Margaret, was the younger sister of Frederick-Elector of Saxony. Therefore, Henry, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, was the younger brother-in-law of Frederick-Elector of Saxony.

If it weren't for this kind of relative relationship, even if the seven-nation coalition took advantage of the Beihai Kingdom, it might have been liquidated by Frederick III afterwards. After all, the Saxony Elector also wanted to take advantage of the Beihai Kingdom...

Moreover, from the map, the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg is closest to the Grand Duchy of the North Sea. Its western border is close to the Northern Münster region, and the northern border is close to Oldenburg and Bremen.

When it comes to dividing the North Sea Kingdom, the Brunswick-Lüneburg Principality is closest to the North Sea Kingdom and is also the most convenient for annexing and dividing the land of the North Sea Kingdom.

But first of all, what the seven-nation coalition attaches most is not the land of the Beihai Kingdom, but the secret of high agricultural yields...

As a neighboring country of Beihai, several vassal states have more or less discovered some abnormalities in Beihai. For example, Beihai has never worried about food. Even the serfs in the manor can eat soft bread without unpalatable impurities such as soil, stones, and wood chips (in fact, it is mixed with grass bran, but not hard).

This discovery surprised several nearby vassal states. You must know that these vassal states are not too poor, but the serfs cannot reach such a standard of living.

Generally speaking, serfs can only eat black stick bread mixed with a large amount of soil, stones, wood chips, wild vegetables and other impurities. Because of the excessive soil and stones, the black stick bread is extremely hard and can be used as a brick. In many records in the Middle Ages, there are records of a fierce peasant woman killing or injuring a thief with black stick bread...

Even many serfs couldn't even eat such bad black stick bread, so they could only use rye granules and wild vegetables to cook porridge. The taste was completely pig food.

But what did the spies from the vassal states see--the serfs of the Beihai State can not only eat softer bread, but also have enough... I'm afraid that only the down-and-out little nobles can live this kind of life...

You should know that it is not easy to grind rye into flour. Because it is also necessary to collect money for milling flour. In this era, most mills were controlled by the lords and were important property of the nobles. Most people wanted to use mills, but the usage fee was very high.

Therefore, in this era, serfs who could eat black baguettes as hard as bricks were considered good. Serfs who were poor could not eat food made with flour. They could only cook rye directly with wild vegetables, and there was less salt (salt was too expensive). rye had a bitter taste, and less salt... that taste...

...

Through the lives of serfs on the border manor of Beihai Kingdom, several vassal states came to a conclusion that Beihai Kingdom does not lack food, and even has a lot of food...

Then, they each sent spies to investigate in Beihai Kingdom. Although most of the spies were killed or injured, they did not get the core secrets. However, the seven princes all confirmed one thing-the Beihai Kingdom did master a technology with high yields in grain, and its core was fertilizer...

...

Therefore, the primary purpose of the seven vassal states forming a coalition force this time is to capture a fertilizer processing plant and obtain the confidentiality of fertilizer, that is, the secret of high agricultural yields. With this secret, even if they cannot annex too much land in the Beihai Kingdom, they will definitely make a fortune in the future. After all, food is very expensive in Europe...

The goal chosen by the seven princes this time was the Beiminster area...

Because the Normmunster area is very close to the Principality of Brunswick-Lüneburg, Ravensburg and Liperber, and is not far from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbitel.

As for Saxony-the Principality of Raunberg and Geldenberg are far apart, these two countries are small countries and have no right to kill, so they naturally follow the arrangements of the big guys...

...

After deciding the plan to "suppress the bandits and pursue the North Sea Kingdom", the seven princes selected 2,000 light cavalry from each army, pretended to be horse bandits, and began to operate in the northern part of the Ravensburg and Liperbo, and really looted some villages and towns to perform more realistically. Of course, no one was killed.

Then, the Ravensburg State and Liperbo State publicly asked for help from the other five countries, asking them to send troops to help suppress the bandits... But in fact, the 40,000 troops had long gathered in the territory of Ravensburg State...
