Marin was not worried that Denmark's King Hans would refuse, because if he refused, he would not tell whether he would attack him. Lübeck alone would not allow the Danish army to cross the sea, which would destroy Denmark's ambition to capture southern Sweden.
The Kingdom of Denmark is actually very weak now, especially the economy, which is about to collapse. If Marin had not been to open the net and not rushing them to pay compensation, and spending money to buy Norwegian wood, perhaps Denmark's economy would have collapsed now.
Moreover, if the status quo continues to be maintained, the more than 10,000 troops before the Kingdom of Denmark will be difficult to support. With the current economic situation of the Kingdom of Denmark, it may only be able to support at most five or six thousand troops in the future.
But if we capture the southern part of Sweden, it would be different. To the south of the line drawn by Marin, there are 70,000 to 80,000 square kilometers, which is still the area with the lowest latitude and highest temperature in Sweden.
The southernmost coastal area of ​​this land can still be used to engage in agriculture, and there is no problem in planting some rye. In fact, the southern coastal areas of Sweden have always been controlled by Denmark and have developed a certain amount of agriculture. If Marin had not intervened, Denmark would have always controlled the southern and southwestern coastal areas of Sweden. It was not until the 17th century that they lost to Gu Erye and his father, and they completely lost these areas.
In addition to the warm climate in the southern coastal areas, you can plant some cold-resistant rye, in a slightly inland area, cut down forests, grazing, raising sheep, cattle and horses. When cutting down trees and reclaiming wasteland, the cut trees can also be sold as wood. As for branches, roots, etc., it can also be used as firewood.
Although it is difficult to reclaim land, as long as there are enough manpower, it is not difficult to reclaim land. The Kingdom of Denmark has hundreds of thousands of people. Although it has been taken away by Marin, it has been retained by more than 300,000. Now, these people are crowded on several large reserved islands such as the Island of Zeland and Feiying. As long as King Hans is willing, it is still easy to put them in southern Sweden to cut trees and sheep. The matter of land reclamation requires enough people...
In other words, as long as the southern region of Sweden is captured, Denmark's agriculture will develop greatly. After all, what is lost in Marin can be recovered from Sweden. In terms of area, it is still a profit.
But on the other hand, Denmark won southern Sweden, which would be too bad for Sweden. After all, Sweden has a high latitude and is generally low. If the southern region is taken away by Denmark, what they have left is the high latitude of the back. Although it is south of the Arctic Circle (the north is returned to Marin), it is impossible to farm. Now it is the agricultural era, and it is impossible to farm, which has a great impact on national strength. Just like the Ming Dynasty, which relies heavily on Jiangnan food and taxes, if the Jiangnan region is taken away, the national strength will definitely be greatly reduced.
Of course, Sweden still retains the Failun copper mine and has fiscal revenue. But Marin will not let Sweden take over the income from this copper mine. It will definitely take back what it deserves.
At that time, when Denmark occupies southern Sweden, he will act as a mediator to help him talk about peace. However, the appearance fee for the talk about peace is to return half of the profits of the Faylon copper mine. Otherwise, Denmark will be allowed to occupy Stockholm and northern Sweden...
...
In fact, the reason why King Hans of Denmark dared to make bold statements this time when the finances were almost collapsed, saying that he would pay the military commissions to the Brandenburg Electoral and Saxony Electoral was based on the income of the Ferylón copper mine in Sweden. As long as he defeated Sweden, he could force Sweden to cede land for compensation. The source of the compensation was the Ferylón copper mine. If Sweden could not afford the compensation, he could use the output income of the Ferylón copper mine as collateral until the compensation was paid off. After all, the copper price in Europe is too expensive now, and the price comparison between silver and copper is 1 to 15. Copper mines that own a super rich mine are similar to owning a large silver mine.
After the war ended, the situation in Sweden became - the warm and fertile areas in the south were occupied by Denmark, Sweden only had cold areas in the north and Finland, and could not be achieved in agriculture, with a maximum of high animal husbandry; but at the same time, even if only half of the Ferylón copper mine income was retained, Sweden's finances would not be bad. In this way, the national strength of Denmark and Sweden would form a balance... Denmark has fertile soil, Sweden has copper mines... No one can completely overwhelm each other... In the end, the two countries will form a balanced situation, confronting on the Scandinavian Peninsula and unable to expand abroad... And Marin's Beihai Kingdom would no longer have to divide its energy and strength to guard against the Nordic countries. Only when the strength of both sides is unbalanced will the Beihai Kingdom take action to help the weaker side and restore the balance of strength on the peninsula...
This trick was learned from the very disgusting "continental balance" policy of the British Empire. Originally, in history, the British later made great efforts to balance Germany and France. When France was strong, they tried hard to support Prussia to compete with France. After Prussia became bigger and created a powerful German Empire, they turned around and helped France fight Germany... Anyway, Germany and France were both spoiled. They devoted a lot of energy and national strength to the fight between the two countries, so they naturally had no energy to seize hegemony with Britain around the world. On the contrary, before the fight started, they all had to look at the face of Britain...
However, the later Third Reich of Germany was too perverted. Not only was the industry strong, but it also created missiles and almost created UFOs and atomic bombs... Faced with the Third Reich, which was cheated on technology, Britain was taken off, was crippled, and lost its position as the overlord of the world...
Of course, it was the Third Reich in later generations. Now, Denmark and Sweden, which Marin wants to balance, are definitely not as perverted as the Third Reich. After all, the population of Nordic countries is not large, only a few hundred thousand. Sweden has only 800,000 people, including Finland, and Denmark has only a few hundred thousand people. Not as perverted as France, with a population of 15 million...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! So, Marin feels that he can still suppress the rebound of these two countries...
...
Just as Marin was thinking about the Nordic strategy, the maid from the latter palace suddenly came to report that something big happened...
Marin ran back to the rear palace without thinking, extremely nervous. You know, in the backyard of the palace, everyone lives in the palace that Marin cared about very much. Angela and Caesar are his treasures, and even Ferris and Robert and Marin were also treasured. Marin would go crazy if anything happened to any of them.
After rushing back to the backyard of the palace, Marin learned the truth - it turned out that Ferris was pregnant again...
Marin breathed a sigh of relief, and then became ecstatic - I have a child again...
However, Angela's face was not very good...
This is normal. Since Marin returned from England, she has slept with Angela and Ferris a lot. Even the three of them have had a lot of happy times together.
Felice knew that she was not as beautiful and gentle as her sister, so she used her wild side to attract Marin. For example, every time Felice shouted "Brother-in-law, don't", Marin's adrenaline would surge... Moreover, this little hoof actually liked the three of them together, and helped Marin hold down the shy Angela... Therefore, although she was not as beautiful and gentle as Angela, Felice still attracted Marin with her unique style...
Then, this time, Felice beat Angela and took the lead in getting pregnant with her second child...
Moreover, this little girl is very scheming and pesters Malin to seek a good future for her future children...
Marin was a little impatient for being entangled, so he had to really make plans for him. If it were a girl, it would be necessary to help him find a more reliable nobleman to marry him. Don’t think about the prince, after all, he was an illegitimate child, but the count, the baron and other things could be considered.
"If it's a boy..." Marin had a headache. Felice's child was an illegitimate child after all, and it was not easy to arrange. If Angela gave birth to a second boy, she would not only be the second heir to the throne, but also a duke or something. But Felice's second son...
"Huh--I have it!" Marin suddenly thought of a good idea...
What's the idea? Didn't Marin plan to be the chieftain of the Ming Dynasty before? Just as the chieftain of the Taiwan Island also needs an heir to deal with the Ming Dynasty.
Angela's children must be unwilling to go to the distant Ming Empire, no matter how prosperous it is. Besides, the American colonies alone are enough to divide the children born to Angela.
But Felice is different. She has no status and the child she gave birth to is an illegitimate child. If Felice's second son went to the Ming Dynasty to inherit the position of the Ming Dynasty chieftain of Taidao, he would definitely be happy. Because he did not have the qualification to choose...
"Well, let Felice's second son be the prince, go to Taiwan to inherit the position of Ming chieftain. After all, I also have to send a powerful representative to the place..."
Then, Malin thought about it and felt that since he became the chieftain of the Ming Dynasty, he naturally could not use European names. Because the Ming people were not used to it, so he had to give the child a Chinese name.
If you are the chieftain of the Ming Dynasty, you don’t have to think about the Chinese name you use. It is also called Marin, which happens to be the name of your previous life. And if Ferris’ second son wants to inherit the position of chieftain of the Ming Dynasty, he also needs to take a Chinese name to facilitate his dealings with the Ming Dynasty...
"What's the Chinese name? My name is Marin... Well, this guy's Chinese name is Jack Ma..."
Thinking of this, Marin himself burst out laughing. Because, suddenly, the very comedic face of Dad Ma in his later generations...
Thinking about the appearance of himself and Felice, both European and born sons, it is natural that they cannot have the "smart bones" look of later generations. Otherwise, Marin himself might be amused...
So Marin took out a piece of paper and wrote down the name of himself and Felice's second son, and even thought about the word "the word "that" that he only took after he became an adult. The paper said:
"Name: Jack Ma, and his courtesy name is Huateng."
After writing, Marin looked at the paper happily and said with a smile:
