Chapter 423 Fifty thousand army!

The day after Marin left, Kohler arranged a subordinate named Bemon to dress up as the company captain of the "Third Legion" and went to the restaurant where Saxony spies were active in Emden.

This guy is a wine barrel, with a great alcohol tolerance and great acting skills. This guy has a lot of alcohol, but one problem is that he will blush when drinking. So after drinking for a while, he looks like he is drunk, but in fact, he is far from the amount...

It is precisely because of this guy's deceptive attribute that makes him blush when drinking, and his alcohol tolerance and acting skills are also excellent that Kohler sent him to do it.

When he entered the tavern, he saw Beamon wearing the uniform of the company captain and his arrogant look on his face, which naturally attracted the attention of the Saxon spies. Beamon found a corner to sit down, first ordered a few large glasses of high-quality dark beer, and ordered some cooked dishes as a dish.

Since Marin promoted captive pig farming in East Friesland, the pig farming industry has flourished in East Friesland. In addition to promoting braised pork, Marin also promoted cooked dishes such as braised pork head, which is very popular among the public.

Now, some large taverns in Orich and Emden will be sold with some pork head meat to give the drinks and dishes to the drinks and make the drinks very enjoyable.

Of course, the price of braised pork head is not low, and ordinary people cannot afford it. Only those businessmen and officials with some wealth can afford it.

In fact, there are no peanuts in Europe yet. Otherwise, peanuts and boiled peanuts are cheap and delicious dishes.

Seeing Beamon wearing the company captain's uniform and generously placed a lot of high-quality tan beer and pork head meat, several Saxon spies were confirmed to have encountered a "big fish"...

So, after Bimon ate and drank for a while, several Saxon spies sat on Bimon's table. Bimon first pretended to be a little impatient, and then waited for several Saxon spies to invite him a few large glasses of high-quality dark beer and the two best pig tongues in the pork head, and then smiled happily, and began to swear with several Saxon spies and chat enthusiastically...

At the beginning, several Saxon spies were also cautious. After all, Bemon was not drunk yet, and they did not dare to inquire. It was not until they drank a lot of wine that several Saxon spies were a little drunk that they became a little anxious...

When Bemon saw that the other party was almost drunk, he began to pretend to be drunk. So, in the eyes of several Saxon spies, Bemon was already drunk. Because Bemon began to stutter and seemed to have become unclear in his mind...

So several Saxon spies stopped drinking and started talking. Bemon, according to the script, shook out all his "name", "post" and "background" and other news...

As soon as the time was ripe, several Saxon spies began to inquire about military information...

And the "drunk" Behemoth naturally spoke a lot of news they wanted to know as they wanted...

When he learned that Marin had led an army of 20,000 to advance east, several Saxon spies were shocked. So, after returning, several Saxon spies quickly sent people to rush forward, and quickly sent the information back to Saxon day and night...

At this time, Saxony Elector Frederick III had personally led 15,000 elite troops to the Brandenburg Elector and joined the 20,000 Swiss mercenaries. Jokiem I was already waiting in the coalition camp with an army of 15,000.

If George knew that his cousin only supported his thousands of troops, but led a 15,000 army to do something else, he would be very annoyed.

But this is also impossible. For Frederick III, this military operation is of great significance. If Lübeck and Hamburg were captured, the Saxony Electoral State would not make a fortune and the national strength would rise to a higher level. If Marin defeated the army, it would be considered to have cleared a very threatening opponent. If Marin captured Marin alive, it would be even more wonderful - perhaps, the Saxony Electoral State could use this to threaten Marin to cede some territory. After all, Marin now has a territory area no less than the Saxony Electoral State after the division.

The benefits of participating in this war are so huge, and God knows whether it will lose money to help George. Therefore, Frederick III decided to help his brother-in-law instead of his cousin in the face of interests...

While receiving emergency information from East Friesland, Frederick III was drinking and chatting with Jokeem I...

"What? This kid actually brought 20,000 people to support Lubeck?" After learning the news, Jokiem I was shocked and became a little uneasy.

"What a panic? Jokiem, we have an army of 50,000, all of them are elite, and I am afraid that we can't defeat that boy Marin. There are only 3,000 mercenaries in Lubeck City now, and with that boy's 20,000 people, it's only more than 20,000 people."

Jokeem I said depressedly:

"With that being said, they are the guardians of the city. Although the number of people is much smaller than ours, they have a wall as a support. What's more, that guy is planning to draw 8,000 veterans from the Principality of Schleswig to head south... In this way, the cost of our siege is very high..."

After Frederick III thought for a while, his eyes lit up:

"That's the best, Jokim, have you forgotten your father-in-law's 20,000 army? If that kid Marin really drew 8,000 veterans from the Principal of Schleswig, then it would be easy for Denmark to conquer the Principal of Schleswig. At that time, the winning Danish army heads south and meets with us, we will have an army of 70,000, and are you still afraid of more than 20,000 people in his city?"

Jokiem I nodded. Indeed, if the 20,000 Denmark went south, then their number advantage would be greater and the siege would be more convenient. Of course, the premise is that the Danish army must win quickly and cannot delay in the Principality of Schleswig for too long.

So Frederick III quickly sent a messenger, whipping up the horse and heading north to inform the Danish side of information. In the information, Frederick III asked the Danish army to temporarily hold on, and wait until the other side's eight thousand veterans went south, and then raised their troops to go south and occupy the Duchy of Schleswig...

In fact, what Frederick III didn't know was that the Danes had already made this idea, and the monarch and ministers had already made plans. Unfortunately, Marin also found out...

When Frederick III sent a messenger north, Marin happened to enter the city of Lübeck with an army of 20,000 and 15,000 people and began to build a military camp.

The Lübecks were naturally extremely welcome to the arrival of the East Friesian army. Moreover, the Lübecks also knew that although Marin had many troops, their military discipline had always been very good and they never acted indiscriminately. Without orders, they would not rob the people. Therefore, they were relieved.

For Marin, he actually wanted to grab a vote in the extremely wealthy city of Lübeck. However, after snatching it, he would break himself from the Hanseatic League and lose a powerful political ally. Therefore, he endured his strong desire to grab a vote...
