The Rise of the European Emperor

He probably felt that there was someone behind him, and King Hans was very arrogant. Marin wanted to talk to him about ceding land and paying indemnity, but King Hans ignored Marin and shouted that his brother-in-law of the King of Scotland, the brother-in-law of the Elector of Saxony, and the son-in-law of the Elector of Brandenburg would agree. avenged him.

This old guy is very much like the second generation of later generations. If he disagrees, he will fight the background and scare Marin. But to be honest, Marin was really frightened a little bit...

The Scottish king Marin didn't care at all, but the two electors made Marin very afraid. If there is a single Elector, or the Elector of Saxony, or the Elector of Brandenburg, Marin is not afraid. However, when the two are combined, the power is not small.

Because, there are only 7 electoral princes in Germany, and two electoral princes, each representing the interests of a group of princes, rather than two separate electoral states. If there were just two Electors, Marin could confidently give them one hand and start the film. But two electors, with a group of princes, would be difficult to deal with. In particular, when they quarreled at the Imperial Council, the two groups joined together, and they could definitely make Marin unable to fight back, and there was a risk of being beaten by a group.

If these two electors were to win over two other electors and find fault together, then Marin would be isolated by half of Germany.

Fortunately, when he was on the mission to the Crimean Khanate and passed through the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Marin and the Jagiellonian Dynasty got together. The elder brother of Grand Duke Alexander, King Vladislav II of Bohemia, is also one of the seven German princes and the most senior prince among the seven princes.

Before, because of the bad relationship between Vladislav II and Maximilian I, Vladislav II did not like to see Marin, the "dog leg of Maximilian I". In the Imperial Council, it is also to find fault with Marin.

If it is a normal situation, the Elector of Saxony and the Elector of Brandenburg will go to the King of Bohemia to fix themselves, that is no problem.

However, now Marin happens to be on good terms with the two brothers, Archduke Alexander and Prince Sigmund. So Marin hurriedly wrote a letter to Grand Duke Alexander, asking him to write to his brother, King Vladislav II of Bohemia, to help make peace. Don't ask for anything else, as long as Vladislav II does not deal with himself with the other two electors, it will be OK.

As for the other four electors and the three religious electors, they can all be bought with money. And the Palatine Elector, the general tendency is not obvious, the attitude is a bit swaying, and it can also be bought. Thinking of this, Marin gradually felt relieved.

After solving the possibility of being surrounded and beaten, Marin breathed a sigh of relief. However, after seeing the arrogant face of King Hans again, Marin became angry...

However, according to European tradition, even if the king is captured, he cannot be abused, and he can only be locked up. If he dared to punish the king, it would arouse the anger of other great nobles. Because, once the rules are broken, other great nobles are also afraid that they will be tortured if they are caught one day. Therefore, Marin could not torture King Hans. And old Hans probably knew this, plus he had three powerful in-laws, so he had nothing to fear. When Marin was about to talk to him about ceding land and indemnity, the old Hans pretended to be crazy and tried to get away with it. If it can be delayed until the two elector-in-laws initiate the great nobles of Germany to make peace, then the land that they need to cede and the property they need to compensate will be much less.

It can be said that King Hans, as the king of the Kalmar Union, is not a fuel-efficient lamp. At this time, he was pretending to be crazy and selling stupid, and he was just delaying time, waiting for the two electoral in-laws to form a group to speak for him, so that Denmark's losses could be minimized.

However, seeing the face of the rogue of the old Hans, Marin was upset. So, he decided to put this old rascal...

As a traveler, Marin had seen many rogue moves in his previous life.

Among them, there are many punishment moves without wounds or blood.

The simplest thing is that the strong light does not let you sleep, and the small dark room is closed...

So, Marin first locked King Hans in a small dark room, and did not allow anyone to speak to him...

However, what Marin did not expect was that, as a Christian, even if no one spoke to him, Old Hans actually recited the Bible aloud in the small dark room. It has been closed for a few days without letting it crash...

"The power of religion is really powerful... The little black house doesn't work..." After Marin was very emotional, he planned to change his method...

This time, Marin intends to abuse King Hans over food...

After that, although King Hans was the king, the food treatment dropped sharply. From the good wine and good meat before, to only drinking rye porridge every day...

This kind of porridge, which is made by directly throwing unpeeled rye into a pot, is very unpalatable and has a bitter taste. It was one of the most common foods for civilians in medieval Europe. There are a lot of wild vegetables in the porridge...

Ordinary wealthy people can't stand the taste of this bitter gooey porridge. However, in order to abuse King Hans, Marin directly brought this very poor taste of medieval porridge to King Hans...

Of course, King Hans quit, and loudly demanded to drink and eat meat, and even knocked over the porridge bowl he brought. But how hard is Marlin? Since you don't eat, right? Well, hungry one day!

Then, King Hans, who has always been pampered, was really hungry for a day...

The next day, King Hans, who was so hungry that he could not stand it, compromised, and he ate the rye porridge in a big mouth after a short period of time, and he didn't find it unpalatable. After all, people who are hungry can eat deliciously...

This is not to mention, Marin is to toss King Hans, naturally it will not be so simple.

While making King Hans eat the kind of rye porridge that even dogs don't want to touch, Marin also asked his subordinates to set up a cauldron at the top of the hut where King Hans was imprisoned, planning to cook beef stick bone broth... …

The ox stick bone, also known as the ox big bone, is the thick bone of the cow. This kind of big bone is definitely impossible to eat, after all, it is a bone, not a meat. However, it is very delicious when used for soup.

In Marin's previous life, there was a practice in his hometown, which was to put beef stick bones into a large pot and cook for a day. The longer the time, the stronger the aroma of the beef stick bone broth and the better the taste. After waiting for a day, this beef bone soup is so delicious that if it is used to cook noodles, people who eat it will usually drink all the noodle soup and still feel unsatisfied.

When I was a child, when a banquet was held in the countryside, there were often such chefs who specialized in serving country banquets. The day before the banquet, they set up a large pot and put the beef sticks in it to cook. Keep cooking, keep cooking. If the water is almost dry, add water. After the official banquet the next day, the beef stick bone broth in the cauldron will become an important dish with soup, and it will be fragrant when cooked with anything.

When Marin was a child in his previous life, whenever there was a banquet in the countryside, he would run around and circle around the chef, always smearing honey in his mouth. When he saw the chef, he would get in touch and call out "Uncle, Uncle" affectionately. . Its purpose is to mix a bowl of beef stick bone soup to relieve cravings.

In fact, this beef stick bone soup is not necessarily delicious, not much more delicious than those chicken soup and duck soup. However, after a few hours of cooking, the aroma wafting from the pot is the point. Anyone who asks about this fragrance can't help but swallow.

Marin was also a greedy ghost when he was a child. In addition, the rural economic conditions were very poor in the last century. The number of times that rural people eat meat may not be once a week. Therefore, Marin, who was greedy when he was a child, liked to eat all kinds of banquets the most. And the big bone soup cooked by the chefs during the banquet is also one of the important goals that Marin covets.

This time, the king of Hans, Marin also remembered the invincible fragrant beef bone soup from the depths of his memory... The biggest feature of this divine soup is that you can't help drooling when you smell it...

Therefore, Marin asked people to boil beef bone soup vigorously at the upper vent of King Hans's prison hut, just to let the aroma drift past, and greedy the old thing Hans. However, these days, King Hans is eating rye porridge that tastes so bad that even dogs don't want to touch it...

Sure enough, when the rich aroma of beef bone broth floated into King Hans' nose, King Hans drooled wildly. However, he can only drool. Every time he eats, he still eats rye porridge three times a day... So, King Hans was tossed to the point of collapse...

However, Marin brought a group of his subordinates around the cauldron. You and I drank from a bowl, and praised the unparalleled deliciousness of the beef bone soup...

Hans was originally from the Oldenburg family in the German county of Oldenburg, and naturally knew German. Smelling the rich aroma of beef bone soup, listening to the loud admiration of Marin and others, but he can only drink the terrible rye porridge... At this moment, he is so depressed that he wants to die...

The most terrifying thing is that in the cauldron in the upper wind, the beef bone soup with the attractive aroma is being cooked 24 hours a day, without interruption. The wretched Marin also ordered his soldiers to fan the fragrance in the direction of the hut where King Hans was. And King Hans also needs 24 hours to smell the aroma of this extremely fragrant beef bone soup, but at the same time, he eats the worst rye porridge. Drool, soaking King Hans' pillow...
