The orders of the Danish King Hans soon spread to the southern coast of Sweden. So the Danish fleet divided half of the warships, totaling 100, returned to Copenhagen to gather, and then prepared to go to the East Frieslander to surround Emden.
Kohler, a spy sent to Copenhagen in the name of Marin, saw 100 warships, and after he inquired about it, he learned about the movements of the Danes. So he immediately took the merchant ship to Lübeck. After he got ashore, there were already horses ready. Moreover, there were people who were picking up along the way.
After a long time, after changing horse relay, Marin received information from Denmark the next afternoon...
"It's true that's not what I expected!" Marin waved his hand excitedly. Then, he called the fleet commander Kidd:
"Kidd, hurry up and lead 8 warships and 15 250-level armed merchant ships, leave Port Emden, and stay at Thorenche for a while. Without orders, you are not allowed to come back!"
Captain Kidd was a little puzzled - OK, why should we transfer all warships away? Port Emden should not be protected?
In fact, Marin was trying to show weakness on purpose. Denmark was used to being arrogant and did not care about how many warships there were in East Friesland. Even if there were, it was definitely not as many as 100 warships.
As for the dozens of merchant ships in Emden Port, Marin would not all be transferred. If even one merchant ship is not there, the Danes will definitely be suspicious. Even if these merchant ships are destroyed by the Danes, it is not a problem. How much money is a merchant ship? Marin can afford it.
In short, this time, Marin must liven up the image of a "wronged young wife" and make the outside world feel sympathetic. Then, when Marin attacks Denmark, no one thinks Marin is a bad person...
Ten days later, the Danish fleet arrived late, and hundreds of warships directly blocked the estuary of the Ames River, scaring the fishing boats of the East Friesland and West Friesland fishermen were afraid to go out to sea to fish.
Seeing the local fishing boat running away in panic, the Danish naval officers and soldiers laughed and even pretended to chase, which scared a Westfrisian fishing boat to capsize on the spot.
Marin stood on the head of Emden and looked at the direction of the Estuary with a pull-out monocular telescope. He found that the 100 warships were indeed huge and a bit boundless.
This momentum alarmed George Duke of Saxony, who was still leading troops in West Friesland and confronted the West Friesland Resistance Army who was trapped in Leeuwarden.
At first, George was also shocked, thinking that Denmark had any ideas about the Hanseatic city of Groningen. However, when he learned that the Danish fleet was here to surround Emden, he immediately laughed to the sky:
"Hahaha, boy Marin, you have today too!" Although he had to support Marin in the Imperial Council last time, George's resentment towards Marin had not diminished. After all, the humiliation of being captured was difficult to clean up. If it weren't for the rebels against him in the mess of West Friesland, Duke George would have wanted to run to form an alliance with the Danes to rob East Friesland together.
However, thinking that the supply line from the Principality of Saxony to West Friesland had to pass through the East Friesland State, Duke George had to endure it and restrain himself from standing up and mocking Marin's desire...
Soon, Denmark's Foreign Minister Holson and Oldenburg's Foreign Minister Gouldberg came to Orich with a proud attitude...
"What? You want me to ced Jeffer and you want me to compensate 100,000 gold coins? This is impossible!" Marin actually wanted to admit defeat immediately, but this was unreasonable and would make people doubt. Therefore, the anger and unwillingness that should be felt should be pretended. Therefore, after seeing the diplomatic documents handed over by the other party, Marin pretended to be angry and yelled.
"Mr. Marin, I know your dissatisfaction. However, Princess Hedwig is the cousin that His Majesty the King values ​​the most. If you accidentally kill His Highness, it is necessary to pay the price." Danish Foreign Minister Holson said with a calm look on his face, his eyes were full of disdain, which made Marin really want to beat him.
"I would like to emphasize again that Princess Hedwig was not killed by me, but by her husband Edor!" Marin said loudly.
"Sir Earl, may I ask, are there third-party personnel present to prove it to you? Also, do you think it is normal for a husband to kill his wife?" Oldenburg's Foreign Minister Gouldberg asked aggressively.
"This..." Marin couldn't refute this. At that time, there was no one else present, only his own army and Jeffer's army. Jeffer's army was alive and became his own prisoners. Therefore, people on both sides could not be fair witnesses. But who would have thought of such a thing? Do you have to bring notaries in war? What a problem...
Moreover, even if Marin had reason, he didn't want to really reject it. So, he now performed his true nature and performed an image of being in a rude way:
"I don't care. I didn't kill Princess Hedwig, and my men didn't kill either!"
"Since you insist on denying, there is nothing we have to say!" Holson decided to terminate the negotiations, so he took Gouldberg away first. He planned to notify the Danish fleet first and teach Marin a lesson first...
Sure enough, the next day, the Danish fleet, which had originally blocked the estuary of the Amden River, launched an attack on the Port of Emden. Of course, there were not many artillery on their ships, and they were all small caliber. Therefore, the Danes directly discharged the sailors and burned 10 merchant ships staying in Port of Emden. Of course, the people on the merchant ship had already escaped.
Then, with a complex mood of happiness and anger, Marin ordered Gong Xiang Geoffrey to protest against Holson:
"Protest, why did the Danes burn our country's merchant ships for no reason? Among them, one is from the Hanseatic League Hamburg, and the other is from Lubeck..."
Holson was shocked. He didn't expect that he would burn a few ships and the Hanseatic League...
In fact, the two ships were simply from the merchants of East Friesland. However, before Marin sent Jeffrey to protest, he suddenly had an idea - haha, the Danes burned the merchant ships of Lübeck and Hamburg. Isn't this the best excuse to start? Otherwise, the reason for letting Lübeck and Hamburg start a war on the grounds of being taxed is insufficient... What a good excuse for the ship to be burned by the other side's navy...
In this way, Marin temporarily added a show and accused the Danes of burning the ships of Lubeck and Hamburg. At the same time, Marin also sent troops to Lubeck and Hamburg, asking them to protest together, and start the topic first...
Although I was surprised, the Danes really didn't care. Isn't it just two ships? Who told them to stop where they were, and they had to stop in Emden?
In a few days, Jeffrey made more than a dozen protests on behalf of Marin and issued 8 "solid statements"...
Of course, the Danes ignored this. When Holson threatened to burn dozens of merchant ships left in the port, Marin finally surrendered and admitted his conscience with a look of reluctance...
Then, in front of representatives of several other countries, Marin signed a compromise agreement with a "humiliation" face, agreeing to cede Yevre and promised to compensate 100,000 gold coins...
Those representatives of other countries were actually invited by Denmark and Oldenburg, in order to make everyone embarrassed to watch Marin together...
Marimony is reluctant to do this. The more shame you are today, the more reasonable you are to send troops tomorrow... But, you are so excited to be embarrassed - am I a little psychopath?
With an extremely complicated mentality, Marin signed this humiliating treaty. In the sympathetic eyes of several foreign representatives, Marin was always thinking about the question of "whether he is perverted", so he was a little distracted. In the eyes of representatives of other countries, it was understood as "lost in the soul"...
