Gelden, the capital of the Principality of Gedes, Duke Charles II is hosting nine former Friesian nobles who were exiled in Gudes, as well as Sivag, commander-in-chief of the West Friesian Resistance Army.

At the beginning of the year, after learning that Albresit of Saxony died, Charles II, Duke of Gedes, was overjoyed. Before, he had always coveted Sifriesland, occupied by the Duchy of Saxony. However, Charles II did not dare to do much because of Albresit, Duke of Saxony's huge reputation and strong personal ability. Even though the Saxony coalition was defeated by Marin, Charles II did not publicly express his covetous intention of Sifriesland, but began to secretly accumulate strength to seek the future.

As an opponent, Charles II, Duke of Geders, naturally investigated the Duke of Saxony. Therefore, Charles II knew very well that Duke Albrescite had strong personal abilities and prestige, but his heir, Prince George, was a fool.

It’s not that George is so terrible, but that he is indeed a fool compared to Duke Albresit. Although Duke Albresit is only the Duke of the Duke of Saxony, he can gather all the Saxony nobles under his command with his prestige and means, which is stronger than the first Saxony nobleman of the legal Saxony. In fact, the Chief Election Emperor of the Saxony should be the leader of the Saxony nobles. However, Duke Albresit is the uncle of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor. Moreover, Duke Albresit has more prestige than Frederick. Therefore, the former Saxony nobles were actually led by the Duke of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor of the Chief Election Emperor

However, after the death of Duke Albresit, the situation changed drastically. As soon as the old duke died, Frederick's general election emperor naturally took over the position of leader of the Saxony aristocratic circle. The new Duke of Saxony George had average abilities and prestige, and in terms of law, his status was also shorter than his cousin. Therefore, the death of Duke Albresit showed that the Saxony's right to speak, and he returned to the Saxony Electoral State from the Duchy of Saxony again.

Moreover, Frederick III, the Saxony general election, was also a very wise ruler. Before, because he was young, he was not as prestigious as his uncle, Duke Albresit. Therefore, the light of Frederick III was covered up.

But in fact, Frederick III, the Saxony General Election, was a very wise ruler. Martin Luther, a religious reformer who caused trouble in Germany more than ten years later, actually hid himself in Frederick's election. However, Frederick's election was very smart. Although he protected Martin Luther, he used his superb political skills to deal with the later powerful emperor Charles V, which made the Saxony General Election not break with Charles V with the Saxony General Election State.

Face. However, after his death, his successor broke up with Charles V, which led to the faction of the Saxony Elector, which originally belonged to the family's chief branch, being given to the descendants of the Duke of Albresitt by Charles V. Members of the Changzhi were deprived of the title of Elector, and most of their fiefdoms were deprived of them, becoming small princes (such as Saxony-Coburg, Queen Victoria's husband Albert, who came from the descendants of this branch).

At present, Frederick's election emperor is 37 years old, with enough wisdom and rich experience. After his uncle's death, he naturally took over the leadership of the Saxony aristocratic circle. Although George, the son of Duke Albresit, is 29 years old this year, he is still very immature in politics. Even George had a very unhappy relationship with his cousin Frederick before.

The reason is actually very simple. George is a guy with great ambitions and talent. Previously, because Duke Albresit robbed the leadership of the Saxony aristocratic circle, George's confidence was inflated and believed that the Saxony Principality was the core of the Saxony aristocratic circle. Therefore, he looked down on his cousin Frederick's election. Even after getting drunk, George pointed at the nose of Frederick III in front of everyone, and publicly expressed his contempt and despise...

When Duke Albresit was alive, Frederick would naturally pretend not to care about this matter. However, now that Duke Albresit has passed away, Frederick also regained the leadership of the Saxony nobles. Then, at this time, it is difficult to talk about...

Charles II, the Duke of Geders, believed that from now on, if the new Duke of Saxony, George, would not be able to use the power of the entire Saxony noble circle. Because he did not have the leadership of the Saxony noble circle, nor did he have the prestige and ability...

In addition, George had offended Frederick's election before. If the Duchy of Gedes and the Principality of Saxony went to war at this time, Frederick's election might not have supported George. Even if he supported it, it would be very limited and would not support it.

In fact, Charles II's judgment was very accurate. Frederick III, the Saxon general election, would never bet on the interests of the Saxon aristocratic circle in the entire Saxonian aristocratic circle and help the Saxon Principality expand its territory. Before, Albresit, the old Saxon Duke, was his uncle and had a high prestige, and he had no choice. Now, George, whom he was not in deal with, became the Saxon Duke. Then, the Saxon electorate, would no longer support the Saxon Principality unconditionally...

In history, things did indeed develop like this. After Charles II launched an attack on Sifriesland, Frederick III, the Saxon general election, did not support Duke George. This also led to Duke George being forced by the Duke of Gedes and finally sold Sifriesland to Charles V.

You know, that is the original history. In history, the Principality of Saxony did not appear, and there was no super defeat so early. Although George was defeated in 1516, it was just a failure. Although he did not conquer East Friesland, he did not suffer much loss.

And in this time and space, because of the appearance of Marin, the Principality of Saxony suffered a huge loss, not only losing many people, but also losing 1 million gold coins.

Because of the huge compensation, the Principality of Saxony now has to have financial difficulties for several years. If there is no money, the army will not be able to support it.

Therefore, Charles II, Duke of Guedes, seized this opportunity and decided to launch it in advance, and caught George, the new Duke of Saxony, caught him off guard.

Therefore, Charles II invited nine great nobles from the former Friesian Republic to come over and encourage them to attack Sifrisland.

After all, the Friesian Resistance Army now has 3,000 troops, which is a strong force. Moreover, the Friesian Resistance Army commander Sivag once learned modern military command methods in Marin. Although Sivag did not learn the knowledge of the entire Spanish platoon, he also learned a lot of basic methods such as modern queue training. Under his training, the combat effectiveness of the 3,000 Friesian Resistance Army is not weak. Although it is not as good as the army under Marin, it is also stronger than the combat effectiveness of the ordinary vassal army.

Charles II, Duke of Gedes, wanted to annex West Friesland, and the original nine Friesland nobles were actually an obstacle. However, in the current situation, supporting these nine original Friesland nobles and Duke George to fight to the death is the best choice.

In this way, Charles II himself can completely hide behind the scenes and let these nine guys attract everyone's attention. Of course, these 3,000 people are not enough to confront the Principal of Saxony.

Therefore, at the banquet, Charles II clearly stated that he was willing to send 5,000 troops to join the war as a mercenary, fight against the banner of the Friesian Resistance Army, and join the Friesian Resistance Army to fight against the Saxony Army.

At present, due to financial difficulties, the garrison of the Duchy of Saxony in West Friesland has been reduced to 3,000, and most of them are stationed in Groningen, the capital in the eastern region.

The 3,000 Friesian resistance troops, plus the 5,000 troops of the Guedes Principal, a total of 8,000 people, will definitely be able to capture the western region of West Fries in a short period of time and control the important western city of Leuwarden.

As long as Leeuwarden is taken down, the Friesian Resistance Army will have enough capital to confront the Principality of Saxony...

Now it is no better than before. The Principality of Saxony not only lost the cunning old duke, but also had financial difficulties and could not gather enough troops again.

If there are not enough troops to suppress, the current 8,000 coalition forces of the Friesian Resistance Army and the Gedes will be enough to compete with the Duchy of Saxony...

In front of the nine original Friesian nobles, the cunning Charles II pretended to be a kind nobleman with a strong sense of justice, saying that the Duchy of Gedes was completely in justice for helping Sifrisland. If it were other cunning nobles, or Marin, they would never believe this guy's words.

However, the nine exiled Friesian nobles may have been taken care of by Charles II, and with their IQ dues, they actually believed that Charles II helped them out of kindness. Although Sivager felt that it was not right, the nine bosses believed in Charles II. Others were rude and could not help...
