When Princess Hedwig's body was sent to Oldenburg, the capital of Oldenburg's Bernard, John V, Earl of Oldenburg, was furious and directly ordered the four unlucky guys who escorted Hedwig's coffin to chop off.
As for the four unlucky guys, Edor Wilmken killed Hedwig, and John V didn't believe it at all. Or he didn't want to believe it. To put it bluntly, he deliberately chose not to believe it...
There were no third-party people present in the murder of Hedwig, only Marin's people, and those who were once the Wilmken family, but now they have become Marin's prisoners. Therefore, John V could have insisted that Marin was lying.
In fact, the Oldenburg-Berg has been coveting the Jeffer region for a long time. His father, Gerhard VI, chose to marry Hedwig to Edor Wilmken, and he had the intention of annexing Jeffer.
You should know that in the German region, it is not normal to rely on marriage and wait for the other party to die before inheriting the other party's territory and title. Many major forces rely on marriage and waiting for the in-laws to lose their territory. Of course, there is a prerequisite here, that is, your family's fertility is better than the other party and will waste the other party to death. If you don't have a son, I'm sorry, your family's territory belongs to someone else. Even if your daughter marrys another noble, you have to change the man's surname. Even if the queen does not change her surname after marriage, the child she gives birth to is the man's surname.
In British history, in addition to coups, the queen's descendants followed the man's surname was also an important way for dynasty to change. For example, the Saxony-Goborg-Korda dynasty was the son of Queen Victoria, who followed her husband's surname. Of course, in order to draw a clear line with Germany, this dynasty was later renamed Windsor dynasty. Until Marin traveled through time, Elizabeth II, the last queen of the Windsor dynasty, was still alive tenaciously, making Crown Prince Charles white.
If Prince Charles succeeds to the throne... Uh... Te Meow's surname is Windsor... It's too unworthy of Prince Philip...
Originally, in history, the Oldenburg family did make a successful plan. The little girl Maria, who was slapped to death by Edor Wilmken, had no descendants after her death, and directly gave the Yevre area to the Oldenburg country...
However, in this time and space, the Sexner family has been destroyed by Marin. Now, the Wilmken family has also been destroyed...
Although the death of his sister made John V, Earl of Oldenburg, very sad and angry. However, he still remembered the original plan of his father and brother - to seize Jeffre...
Therefore, John V decided to take advantage of this time that Marin accidentally caused Hedwig's death and insisted that Marin killed him. Then, he joined hands with his cousin, Hans, the King of Denmark, to put pressure on Marin to seize the Yevre area...
The Yevre area is so large, with several hundred square kilometers. The Oldenburg country is only about 4,000 square kilometers, which is only a little larger than East Friesland. If you get 500 square kilometers of Yevre, the territory area will increase by one eighth.
Therefore, John V's heart is very conflicted now. He was both sad and sad about his sister Hedwig's death, and was also extremely excited about his impending capture of the Jeffer region.
Of course, it is not enough to rely on the power of the Oldenburg Kingdom. Not to mention anything else, the number of troops alone, the tens of thousands of troops of Marin's East Friesland completely defeated the Oldenburg Kingdom. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the East Friesland army was very strong, and it defeated more than 20,000 troops of the Duchy of Saxony.
But behind Oldenburg's country is Denmark...
Denmark is a European power. Perhaps Denmark's army may not be able to defeat East Friesland. However, Denmark's navy is too terrifying. Its 50 professional warships are arrogant to Europe. Except for Portugal, no other country can compare with Denmark at sea.
And John V, who knew that Marin, the current Earl of East Friesland, relied heavily on maritime trade. Without maritime trade, Marin might not be able to support the 10,000 army (he didn't know that Marin hid 10,000 in the Teutonic Kingdom).
As long as Denmark frees up its hands and surrounds the warship outside the Port of Emden, if you don’t believe Marin will not surrender...
In fact, Marin was also worried that the Danes would surround the warships. In this way, he would indeed finish it. After all, he was indeed very dependent on maritime trade.
Therefore, Marin sent an envoy again, intending to pay the money...
However, John V had already made up his mind and insisted that he would forgive him only if he compensated the Yevre region...
Marin ignored him directly - Made, is he really a lunatic, a princess in the Kingdom of Beth worth a fief of 500 square kilometers? Even the heir of Oldenburg, it may not be worth the price...
John V is not in a hurry now, because he is going to wait for the war in Denmark to end. After all, Denmark has now put most of its troops into the Swedish battlefield. Even those 50 warships are used to block the Swedish coastline. Therefore, in the current situation, Denmark cannot take care of the Oldenburg side for the time being.
However, John V still sent an envoy to Copenhagen and asked the Denmark King Hans what to do about this...
King Hans was also very angry after receiving this news - fuck, a little Count dared to kill my cousin, and he was so tired of living...
However, he also knew about Marin. In terms of army strength alone, Hans was not sure that he could defeat East Friesland. Because he believed that the strength of the Danish army might not be greater than that of Saxony, which has an army of more than 20,000.
Saxony's 20,000 troops, including thousands of knights, were defeated by Marin's men. The Danish army may not be their opponents.
However, John V said that this Marin relies heavily on foreign trade economically, and most of its income comes from foreign trade at the Port of Emden. As long as we free up our hands and allow the Danish Navy to surround Emden, Marin can surrender...
Speaking of the navy, the King of Denmark Hans has never been afraid of anyone. Even the emerging maritime power, Portugal, may not take it seriously (in fact, Portugal has come from behind). After all, Denmark has been the European maritime overlord since the era of Viking Pirates, and has dominated for hundreds of years...
However, now the Danish army, including the navy, are trapped in the Swedish battlefield and cannot draw. Therefore, King Hans of Denmark wrote back to his cousin and asked John V to wait first and not rush to negotiate. When Denmark draws his hands, he sends the navy to demonstrate outside the Port of Emden...
