Chapter 127

After King Hans fainted from anger, Marin immediately sent someone to carry him down for treatment. After all, if this guy died, the treaty signed with him would be equivalent to a treaty signed with the dead, and no one would admit it. Therefore, Marin needed King Hans to live in a state of vain.
However, before carrying King Hans away, Marin left behind a stamp, a pen and ink for King Hans. When the king signed an agreement, he usually had professional ink specially configured by craftsmen. In addition, with stamps and fixed handwriting, it was difficult for ordinary people to imitate.
But who is Marin? He had learned to make fake certificates in his previous life. What is the carrot seal engraving? It is absolutely a little bit. After obtaining the handwriting of the documents signed by King Hans himself, he could use them to make fakes.
However, after thinking about it, Marin gave up on fraud. Because King Hans is still there, if he denies it, his ability to fake will be exposed. At that time, others will easily think of the fact that he forged his grandfather's aristocratic identity.
So Marin gave up that unreliable idea. However, the problem was that after King Hans signed the peace treaty, he had not had time to sign the order to withdraw Prince Christian and the Danish army in Sweden.
So Marin brought the Danish Prime Minister Mikel, who was also arrested. Many executive orders were not required to be issued by the king himself. As long as they were supplemented with the king's seal, the prime minister could actually issue political orders.
Just in time, Prime Minister Mikel is a timid. In the Danish court, as Prime Minister, Mikel's influence is not as good as Navy Minister Thomason, Army Minister Simonson and Finance Minister Dolson.
However, Marin didn't care about those things. He only knew that the order signed by the Prime Minister was also valid after stamping the king's seal. Just so happened that Mikel was very timid and cooperated very well when he saw that King Hans had signed the contract.
Of course, if he met King Hans now, King Hans would definitely stop him from issuing official documents. But would Marin let him meet King Hans?
Seeing the peace agreement in Marin's hand, Mikel repeatedly confirmed that it was indeed signed by the king, and the ink and stamp were also specially made. So, under the pressure of the guardian under Marin's hand, he compromised. Anyway, he did the same thing after seeing the peace agreement signed by the king...
In this way, with Mikel's cooperation, Marin forced Mikel to issue official documents to realize the contents of the peace treaty. For example, he signed legal documents, acknowledging that the two principalities of Holstein and Schleswig were handed over to Lübeck, Hamburg and East Friesland respectively. At the same time, he also signed a decree, ordering the Danish army to withdraw from southern Sweden, return to Denmark's island of Zeland, or to Oslo, Norway, and give the original territory to Sweden. As for Kodland, it was also given to Sweden.
Of course, I did not forget to transfer all the territory in the Arctic Circle of Norway, Sweden and Finland to Marin. In fact, although there is a super rich mine, Kiruna Iron Mine, Marin did not think that this iron ore could be developed in a short period of time. However, Da Vinci had already started to develop steam engines, and perhaps in a few years, the railway would be possible. Only then will the Kiruna Iron Mine have the value of development. However, taking advantage of this opportunity to occupy the pit in advance is nothing bad.
With the cooperation of Prime Minister Mikel, Marin "instructed" him to issue a large number of official documents to ultimately realize the content of the peace treaty. He heard that Marin was "guiding" the Danish Prime Minister to issue official documents, and people from the other three families immediately surrounded him and followed Marin's political intentions in advance.
Of course, most of the administrative documents issued by Mikel. But when he turned to the diplomatic documents, Marin's eyes suddenly lit up...
Why? Diplomatic documents are basically written in Latin, and Marin can understand them, but they cannot be translated in Danish. What Marin opens is the diplomatic documents issued by Denmark before. For example, those who condemn the four-way alliances, and those who seek help from the two electoral emperors. However, the alliance's infantry and fleets captured the Island of Zeland too quickly, and these diplomatic documents were not available.
Moreover, Marin also saw the diplomatic documents sent by King Hans to the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and made great efforts to please the other party, hoping that the other party would send troops to aid. Even those who sent them to Emperor Maximilian I asked the emperor to take back Marin's "this evil dog"...
Marin was not angry about this, but the bad water in her stomach came out again...
"If I take this opportunity to send some diplomatic documents of badly provocative nature to Denmark's allies, will those Denmark break off diplomatic relations with Denmark?"
When he thought of it, he did it. Marin immediately used the "folding method" to dismiss a diplomatic document that rebuked the incompetence of the Russian Grand Duke and slandered the regent as a homosexual love. He hid the real content and only let Prime Minister Mikel see the fake and peaceful parts, and tricked Mikel into signing it on it.
Then, Marin used the same method to trick Mikel into issuing a document that rebuked Hans' brother-in-law, Frederick III, who was unable to protect his sister and was a coward. Of course, the Elector of Brandenburg was not left behind. The document reads in the tone of King Hans - I married my daughter to you a waste when I was blind...
As for the King of Scotland, Marin did not forge diplomatic documents, but just sent a normal document. Because the Kingdom of Scotland has always been suppressed by England and wants to interfere in German affairs, he has no ability.
When Marin gave the prepared diplomatic documents to Speaker Tagfacht, Speaker Heisenberg and Old Sten Sturret, the three old men almost burst into laughter.
Of course, Marin did not tell these three old men the specific method. He just told them that he was coercive to Mikel to issue it...
In fact, if Mikel really knew the true content of the diplomatic documents, he would not be willing to issue them even if he was beaten to death. Because after such documents were issued, it would directly give Denmark a lot of hatred. Even if he was the prime minister, he would definitely be unable to escape death...
King Hans and his family were imprisoned in the backyard of the palace, and Marin and three old men happily directed the unlucky Prime Minister Mikel to issue various documents in the front yard.
At the same time, Marin's subordinates and ships from the Hanseatic League began to transport the property they snatched from Denmark to their own territory...
Because the Principality of Schleswig was soon owned, Marin did not transport the goods back to Emden, but transported a large amount of goods to the city of Schleswig, the capital of the Principality of Schleswig. When you have time in the future, you will transport the things back to East Friesland. Of course, if you need it, you can also keep some of the goods locally to support local construction. After all, you will be the Duke of Schleswig in the future.
Among the diplomatic documents issued by Prime Minister Mikel, there is a copy that represents the Kalmar League specifically recognizes Marin as the new Duke of Schleswig.
However, when it comes to the Principality of Holstein, Mikel didn't know who should be recognized as Duke Holstein...
After all, Lubeck and Hamburg divided the Principality of Holstein evenly, so who should the Duke be? Then, this became a very famous diplomatic issue in Europe...
In Sweden, Mikel also issued an instrument announcing Denmark's recognition of the Swedish regent as Old Sten Sturre and respecting the Swedes' right to choose their own king.
What made Marin smile bitterly was that Mikel also issued a diplomatic document cleverly, announcing that Marin became the chief of the Sami people in the polar regions where the Sami people lived in northern Norway, northern Sweden and northern Finland...
"The chief... the chief... the chief..." Marin was full of dark lines and wanted to beat Mikel up.
However, he had also fooled Mikel enough and knew that if Mikel continued to stay in Denmark, he would not be able to escape death. So he later showed the three real diplomatic documents to Mikel and suggested that Mikel move to the Principal of Schleswig and serve as the Prime Minister of the Duchy of Schleswig.
