In fact, the sending envoys to cry for help was not created by Ma Lin, but was founded in the late Spring and Autumn Period. In the late Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Zixu, a native of Chu, escaped from Chu and arrived in Wu because his father was slandered.
Subsequently, the two great gods, Wu Zixu and Sun Wu, helped King Helu of Wu to grow the weak Wu Kingdom into a dominant country in the Spring and Autumn Period, and sent a large army to capture Yingdu and destroy Chu Kingdom. They also dug out the body of King Ping of Chu who killed Wu Zixu's father and brother, whipping the corpse, which set a precedent for whipping the corpse.
After the fall of Chu State, the Chu minister Shen Baoxu ran to Qin State and cried bitterly for seven days at the entrance of Qin State's court, begging Qin State to send troops to help restore the country. Qin Ai Duke was moved by him, so he sent troops to help Chu State restore the country.
More than a thousand years later, the scene of crying in the cried in the temple was staged again. However, this time, the one who cried in the temple was North Korea. After Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified Japan, he dispatched a large army to invade Korea, forcing the Korean King Lee Kyung to escape the Yalu River and hide on the Liaodong Peninsula.
At that time, North Korea also sent ministers to the Forbidden City Crying Court in the Ming Dynasty, and also gave gifts to the Ming Dynasty ministers. Finally, it moved the Ming Dynasty and dispatched a large army to drive the Japanese army out of the Korean Peninsula.
In general, the crying scene was successful only these two times. Later, after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty actually sent people to Japan to beg for troops and asked Japan to send troops to help fight the Qing Dynasty. However, Japan could not even defeat the Ming army at the beginning, so how could they dare to fight the Eight Banners soldiers in the early Qing Dynasty, which were more fierce than the Ming monarch (I won’t mention it in the late Qing Dynasty)? So, the crying ceremony failed that time.
...
Of course, Marin asked Angela to send someone to Walms crying court, not really asking the princes for help, but to sell the miserable.
When an envoy of a country could only cry and beg for help from other countries, it was obvious that this country was at its end.
Because, if there is a little hope, the envoy of a country will never seek help by crying and begging. Because this will lose all the face of the country.
But, Marin was a person who came from China in the 21st century, and the least valued thing was face. In that era of "demons dancing around", people even believed that "a shameless person is invincible"... So, Marin planned to be "invincible" this time in order to find an excuse to gain an opponent - you see, I am so miserable, there is nothing wrong with fighting back fiercely before "death", right?
...
In addition, Marin also placed his hopes on the religious princes of Germany this time...
Speaking of which, most of the German princes and secular princes opposed Marin. Only the Swabian League led by the Habsburg family, the Duchy of Cliff and Marin were in the same group. The remaining one hundred and dozens of secular princes (the German princes in total were more than 300 large and small princes) were all standing opposite Marin.
Therefore, Marin never counted on those secular princes. The religious princes had very complicated feelings for Marin. From their own perspective, they were disgusted with Marin, the "lack dog of the Habsburg family."
However, Marin was closely related to the Holy See, and the Pope even publicly appeared to support Marin. The Holy See was the superior of the religious princes, which made it inconvenient for these religious princes to publicly oppose Marin.
Therefore, for these religious princes, their attitude towards Marin was - in their hearts, but not on the surface.
What Marin wants is their complex attitude. It can be foreseeable that when the envoy of the North Sea Kingdom sought help from the Wolms Empire, nearly half of the religious princes of the Holy Roman Empire were gloating in their hearts, but they could not show it on the surface, and they would definitely feel uncomfortable.
At this time, it is impossible to ask them to send troops to help Beihai. They just don’t seek trouble with Beihai because of the Holy See, but they will never save Beihai. Even if the Holy See asks them to send troops to rescue, they will make excuses to shirk it.
However, due to the face of the Holy See, they cannot help but express it. Therefore, when the Beihai Kingdom is "harsh" and threatens to destroy its opponents through a death battle, they are likely to support the Beihai Kingdom on the surface. Why? Because in their hearts, the Beihai Kingdom will definitely not succeed at the end of its journey. In this case, verbal support will not harm one's own interests, but also give the Holy See an explanation...
...
Therefore, in the end, those religious princes may choose to verbally support the Beihai Kingdom to "behave" but will never send out one army or another to help.
As long as these religious princes get up early, some secular princes will follow the trend and make trouble. Anyway, no matter who they are, they will not think that the Beihai State, which even scares the envoys, has a chance to turn around.
As long as more than half of the princes of the Walms Empire's parliament support the Beihai Kingdom to make a harsh statement to fight the war of destruction, then the time for Marin to "return". With the approval of the Imperial Parliament, even if these princes are destroyed, the other princes will have to pinch their noses and recognize them. Because they agreed before...
...
Of course, before this, Beihai Kingdom needed to find an actor who looked very "miserable"... Ah, he was an envoy...
In this world, there is a kind of person who is born to look sad and smiles like a bitter smile, and looks very unlucky. Usually, we call this kind of person "a disgraceful face"...
If you have such a face, it is difficult to make a comeback. Because your boss feels unlucky when you see you and your mood becomes bad. Do you think he is willing to reuse and promote you?
Therefore, when Marin sent people to find people, he did not look for people among middle and high-level officials, but instead asked people to go to the grassroots level to find people...
Why? People who look like they are usually very weak are usually difficult to stand out and can only get at the bottom. It is useless to be talented...

According to this idea, Kohler's intelligence personnel quickly found a suitable partner - a small town judge named Johnny...secretary...
Yes, the town judge's secretary. Speaking of which, this Johnny is 38 years old and has worked in the courtroom in Hager Town, Norden County for 15 years.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! 15 years ago, Johnny graduated from the Law Department of Cologne University and should have a bright future. However, because of his deterioration, he was very unpopular.
At first, he planned to go to Emden, the capital of East Friesland, to find opportunities, but when he saw his deterioration, Emden's powerful people refused to give him a chance. So, a medieval college student had to return to his hometown of Hager, intending to be a judge in the local area. Of course, he perfectly avoided Marin's bloody blow to Emden officials...
However, at that time, there were already judges in Hager town, so he had to start with the judge's secretary. In fact, the judges in Hager town were just a child of ignorant nobles and did not understand the law at all. Therefore, Johnny did the legal trials in Hager town, the early tiring errands and evidence collection work. When the verdict was announced, the ignorant judges he served were done...
But 15 years have passed, and Hagg Town has changed several judges, but Johnny is still the legal secretary of Hagg Town and has never been promoted... There is no way. Whenever the superior officials come to inspect the candidates, they can't get better when they see Johnny's debilitating look...
Therefore, because of his appearance, even if he is talented, he is a rare college student at that time, and Johnny has never been able to be promoted. He is nicknamed "unlucky Johnny" by the people in Hager Town...
In fact, appearance issues have always been a big problem. Even in later generations, when selecting civil servants in China, they have to look at their appearance. Of course, for the sake of "fairness", employers will not explicitly state their appearance, but will default on this in interviews. Anyone who looks unlucky or looks sharp-mouthed or monkey-chested is generally not admitted... After all, officials must win the trust of the people. If they look like bad people, the people will not believe it...
Therefore, for the unlucky Johnny, his fate is so unfair. If Marlin hadn't happened to need an envoy who "looks like a despicable" this time, the unlucky Johnny might have been like this for the rest of his life...
