Chapter 533: Placement of the Oldenburg family

()

() & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp The electorate of Saxony and the electorate of Brandenburg are bordering. In particular, the electorate of Saxony is a piece of land, just southeast of the capital of the electoral country of Brandenburg. That place is the Oder-Spree County, and the capital is Besco.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp There are territories of other countries near the capital. For a country, after all, it is not very safe. Of course, the relations between the electorate of Brandenburg and the electorate of Saxony are good, and there is no danger. If the two countries fail, the land of Oder-Spree County will be fatal to the electorate of Brandenburg. Because the electorate of Saxony can gather troops from here and directly attack the city of Berlin. If the land was replaced by the electorate of Brandenburg, the Brandenburg people would not object. Moreover, this land is not small, one county is big.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Of course, after the meeting, you will still bite the condition you just wanted and never give in until you annoy the princes. Finally, I will come forward as a mediator and cut your request in half. See Get up, you ate a big loss, but you actually did n’t lose much ... "

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Okay, just do it!"

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Remember, after your condition is cut in half, you must pretend to be aggrieved. At least, it ca n’t be worse than Frederick ’s election. If you can squeeze out a few tears, the effect will be better Now! You must let those princes who are against you arrive, and their anger will subside ... "

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Understood, this little meaning!" Marin, who participated in the drama many times in his life, was not afraid of this. Besides, if you ca n’t cry, you can hide an onion in your sleeve ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Even if the conditions are halved, Marin can still obtain great benefits. Leaving aside those huge indemnities, the land alone is enough for Marin to talk.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp is first of all the Jutland peninsula, which runs off about 3,000 square kilometers of land in the northern part of the Principality of Schleswig, and about 20,000 square kilometers of land to the north.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Before that, even if you count East Frisian Lambert (500 square kilometers of Yevre, less than 4,000 square kilometers), Oldenburg (about 4,000 square kilometers), Ming The Bishop of Stir (10,200 square kilometers), the Bishop of Osnabruck (more than two thousand) and the Principality of Schleswig (9,200 square kilometers), but less than 30,000 square kilometers.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp plus the more than 4,700 square kilometers of land in the two counties west of the Elbe River in the Brandenburg Electorate, the land of Marin has increased by almost 50,000 square kilometers. They must be added together, reaching more than 50,000 square kilometers ... That is to say, accidentally, the land area of ​​Marin has increased by almost five-sixths. In the current Holy Roman Empire, I am afraid that only princes with vast lands such as the Grand Duchy of Austria and the Kingdom of Bohemia can exceed the area of ​​the region under Marin.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp However, there is another problem, that is, the attribution of Oldenburg. Marin and Julius II discussed it and decided to throw this question at the end, on the condition of abandoning the requirement for the Kingdom of Norway, and let the Danish King Hans take the members of his family to the Kingdom of Norway, where They have the status of an earl. In this way, Marin can legally own the region of Oldenburg. In the future, I don't have to worry about others talking about things in Oldenburg.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp On the side of the couch, how can I allow others to snore? Oldenburg is only a few tens of kilometers away from the city of Aurich, and the army can arrive in one day. For Marin, the existence of the Oldenburg State is too dangerous. Therefore, he must annex the country. From then on, the Old Parliament of Oldenburg became a barrier to the capital Aurich. The enemy wanted to attack Aurich, and if he came from the east, he would first defeat the defenders in the Oldenburg area.

Marin also thought of replacing the Old Kingdom of Oldenburg with more than 4,700 square kilometers of land in the Elbe and West of the Brandenburg ceded from the Elector States of Brandenburg and Saxony. But in the end, Marin did not want to ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Why? Because the area west of the Elbe and the Electorate of Brandenburg is much more prosperous than Oldenburg. Otherwise, Joachim I would not choose to hold a wedding in Stendal. You know, that is the marriage of the country's monarchs, which is of great political significance. Can be chosen in Stendal. Obviously, the area west of the Elbe is a relatively developed area in Brandenburg.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp This is also true. The electoral country of Stendal city Brandenburg is the largest and most prosperous city in the west of the Elbe. Moreover, the agriculture here, because of the excellent irrigation conditions of the Elbe, is much more developed than that of Oldenburg and has a larger population.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp If the two regions of Stendal and Salzwedel-Altmark are exchanged for the Oldenburg family, Marin will lose money. The Oldenburg family is expected to die.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Therefore, after thinking about it, Marin decided to throw the Alden family to the Danish King Hans. In this way, you can save a lot of land.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Moreover, Hans also has enough ability to set up his home. After all, the Kingdom of Norway lacks everything but land. The huge Kingdom of Norway has a population of only 200,000, which is not as large as the Jutland Peninsula.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp When the time comes, King Hans can randomly arrange a sparsely populated place and assign his cousin John as the "Count Earl". The Kingdom of Norway is so big that just over 20,000 square kilometers of land in the area south of the Arctic Circle in Norway, it is not difficult to allocate 3,000 or 4,000 square kilometers of land as "Count Earl".

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Let's talk about it again, it's really not good, it's okay. John the Earl of Oldenburg is placed in the sparsely populated Iceland ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Iceland has an area of ​​100,000 square kilometers. Well, it is more than enough to house an earl ... Or, it can be placed in the Faroe Islands ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp In short, this pot allows Denmark to carry it, Marin does not plan to carry it. Of course, in order to show his friendly side ~ www.novelhall.com ~ to gain a good reputation, Marin decided to compensate the Oldenburg family.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp As for how to compensate? Naturally is to maintain the current compensation method ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp, after the occupation of Oldenburg, Marin, although under house arrest, members of the Oldenburg family were not allowed to leave Oldenburg. However, in terms of treatment, Marin did not deduct them.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp For example, the Oldenburg family previously owned a large area of ​​land in the Old Kingdom of Oldenburg, and each year they obtained a large amount of food output from the land.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbspMarin, after snatching their family's land, still provided their families with food according to the original standard. However, not according to the later standards, but to maintain the previous standards.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp is specifically-the yield per mu of cultivated land to which the Oldenburg family belongs is less than 150 pounds. After Marin used new agricultural technology, the yield per mu broke through
