However, Marin was not happy for too long. After occupying the city of Osnabrück, Marin left behind a thousand troops to guard it, and led an army of 10,000 and 10,000 people to continue to march towards the city of Münster in the southwest.
It was fine when he first left Osnabrück City, but after leaving Osnabrück's Bishop and entering the southern part of the Bishop Munster, Marin felt that the problem was coming...
It turned out that within the territory of the Bishop of Munster, the roads and bridges leading to Munster City were artificially damaged...
Obviously, Bishop Conrad of Munster did not welcome Marin's arrival.
However, although this was troubled, it was not a big deal. Because among the 10,000 people under his command, there was an engineering army of two thousand people...
What does the engineering corps do? They specialize in building fortifications and camps, as well as building bridges and paving roads. They have very mature solutions for bridge destruction, road excavation, etc.
With a wave of his hand, these engineers immediately took off shovels and other tools from the carriage and began to repair the road. Some went directly to log and repair the bridge.
In order to hurry up, the bridges built by the Engineering Corps are simple. For example, if the river channel is very narrow, directly lay the logs on both sides of the river and lay wooden boards on it. If the river channel is too wide, tie the cut down logs into rafts, then connect them together to make a floating bridge to facilitate the passage of the army.
In this way, although the road was destroyed, four days later, Marin arrived at Munster City with a large army and surrounded it.
Just after Marin surrounded Munster City, Bishop Conrad sent someone to send a letter. In the letter, Bishop Conrad asked Marin in grief and anger: "Why are you unable to get along with my Ritberg family?"
"I can't get along with the Ritberg family? What does it mean?" Marin was a little confused. I robbed you of your rule, but why did it become I can't get along with your family? Moreover, Ritberg country is just a small country, with an area of ​​about a few hundred square kilometers, and it is not worthy of attention...
However, Schwartz next to him remembered something:
"Young Master, you seem to have forgotten the old things from a few years ago..."
"You mean?" Marin wondered.
"Elizabeth, the wife of Edsad I, the former East Friesian tyrant, is the daughter of John I, Earl of Ritterberg!"
"Ah... I remembered it! But did I send that Elizabeth back then?" At that time, Marin killed blood in the East Frieslander Kingdom. However, considering the unspoken rules of not killing the nobles of other countries, Elizabeth of Ritterberg had no children at that time, Marin put her back.
"Yes, you sent her back, but you sent her back after killing her husband..." Schwartz was speechless - if you killed someone's husband, can you not make enemies?
In fact, Bishop Conrad was the uncle of Princess Elizabeth. However, when Marin captured East Friesland, Bishop Conrad had just become the Bishop of Münster. He had not yet controlled the situation and had no ability to organize an army to attack Marin. Moreover, his niece was not killed, so he endured it. Besides, his niece Elizabeth did not leave any descendants with Edsade I, and Edsade I was also killed. Even if he sent troops to retake East Friesland, it would be useless. Because a widow without children could not inherit the throne. After returning, Princess Elizabeth suffered from depression and no longer wanted to remarry, but entered the convent and became a nun.
At the beginning, Bishop Conrad was very disliked by Marin because of this and wanted to teach Marin a lesson. However, after the last Duke of Saxony, Albresit, was defeated by the 20,000 troops, Bishop Conrad, gave up his plan to retaliate against Marin. After all, Bishop Conrad did not think that he was stronger than Saxony.
However, Bishop Conrad did not expect that after a few years, Marin, who had bullied his niece, broke through the relationship between the Holy See and bullied him... This was simply a special objection to the Ritterberg family...
Marin, who learned the truth, was also a little embarrassed. He was not specifically targeting the Ritterberg family, but the other party was too coincidental. He was just a stumbling block on his way forward. Marin also "moved them away" them. He was not intentionally targeting them...
However, the people of the Ritterberg family are really like the back of the eight characters. Mao is always blocking Marin, who is the time traveler and the protagonist, waiting to be moved away?
The East Friesland Country is indeed a family of Marin's mother. Although he created a fake for intermarriage between the nobles and the nobles, his bloodline is real...
Then there is the Bishop of Munster. Who told you to be in the south of the East Frieslander country, and it is still so large? If Marin wants to expand, of course he has to choose the neighboring countries. In this way, the territory will be convenient to be connected, easy to manage, and easy to allocate resources.
If you expand and choose a territorial place with scattered territory, it will be inconvenient even if you obtain those territories. Not to mention anything else, you must first pass through the territory of other countries. Even if you transport food and other materials, you must pass through the territory of other countries.
Moreover, in this era, nobles from various countries had the bad habit of setting up a card to collect taxes. If those territories and local areas were transported back to their local areas, a truckload of food might be charged several pass-through taxes.
Therefore, Marinning would rather choose to collide with a powerful country like Denmark and take the opportunity to take over the Oldenburg country, just to expand its territory and facilitate management. Otherwise, if Marin built a piece of territory in the inland of southern Germany, it would not be able to manage it well...
Similarly, at the time, Marin had to insist on marrying Angela at the time at the time at the time of offending Julius II, who was still in a down-and-out position, to obtain the support of the Holy See, and to complete the expansion of the Bishop of Munster. In order to gain the favor and help of Julius II, Marin shamelessly slept with his sister-in-law, just to be the only son-in-law of Julius II, and to obtain all the resources.
Now, Marin's choices have received generous reports. The showdown with Denmark, which has gained support from the chief and deputy leader of the Hanseatic League, has led to Marin's diplomatic support. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Marin to legally occupy the Principality of Schleswig. After all, the dozens of votes brought to him by the two Hanseatic League leaders are not a joke.
