In fact, sending envoys to ask for help and crying court was not created by Marin himself, but it existed in the late Spring and Autumn Period. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Zixu, a native of Chu, escaped from Chu and came to Wu because his father was slandered.

Afterwards, the two great gods Wu Zixu and Sun Wu helped Wu Wanghelu to grow the weak state of Wu into a country of Spring and Autumn hegemony. King Ping's body was dug out and flogged the corpse, setting a precedent in the history of flogging the corpse.

After the fall of Chu State, Chu minister Shen Baoxu ran to Qin State and cried bitterly at the gate of Qin State's court hall for seven days, begging Qin State to send troops to help restore the country. Qin Aigong was moved by it, so he sent troops to help Chu restore the country.

More than a thousand years later, the scene of the crying court was staged again. However, this time it was North Korea who cried in court. After Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified Japan, he dispatched a large army to invade North Korea, forcing the king of North Korea, Li Yan, to escape across the Yalu River and hide in the Liaodong Peninsula.

At that time, North Korea also sent ministers to cry in the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time gave gifts to the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, which finally moved the Ming Dynasty and dispatched a large army to drive the Japanese army out of the Korean peninsula.

Generally speaking, these are the only two successful court-crying scenes. Later, after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty actually sent people to Japan to beg for teachers and asked Japan to send troops to help fight against the Qing Dynasty. But Japan couldn't even defeat the Ming army. How could it dare to fight the Eight Banners soldiers in the early Qing Dynasty (not to mention those in the late Qing Dynasty) who were more ferocious than Ming Jun? Therefore, the crying court and begging teacher failed.

...

Of course, Marin asked Angela to send someone to Worms to cry, not really asking the princes for help, but to sell miserably.

When the envoys of a country can only beg for help from other countries by crying bitterly, it is obvious that the country is at the end of its rope.

Because, as long as there is a little hope, the envoys of a country will never ask for help by crying and begging. Because, this will lose the face of the country.

However, Marin is a person who came from China in the 21st century, and the least important thing is face. In that era of "dancing demons", people even believed in "a shameless person is invincible"... So, Marin planned to be "invincible" this time, in order to find an excuse to eat his opponent-you see, I am so It's too bad, it's okay to fight back viciously before "dying", right?

...

In addition, Marin pinned his hopes on the religious princes of Germany this time...

Speaking of it, most of the German princes and secular princes are against Marin, and only the Swabian League led by the Habsburg family and the Principality of Cliff and Marin are in the same group.

The other one hundred or so secular princes (there are more than 300 princes and princes in Germany) are all on the opposite side of Marin.

Therefore, Marin never counted on those secular princes. And those religious princes have very complicated feelings for Marin. From their own point of view, they dislike Marin, the "running dog of the Habsburg family".

However, Marin has a close relationship with the Holy See, and the Pope even publicly supported Marin. The Holy See is the superior of the religious princes, which makes it inconvenient for these religious princes to publicly oppose Marin.

Therefore, for these religious princes, their attitude towards Marin is-objection in their hearts, but not on the surface.

And what Marin wants is their complicated attitude. It can be predicted that when the envoys of the North Sea State cried for help in the Worms Imperial Parliament, the religious princes, who accounted for nearly half of the Holy Roman Empire, were gloating in their hearts, but they couldn't show it on the surface, and they must be uncomfortable.

At this time, it is impossible for them to send troops to help Beihai. They just didn't trouble Beihai country because of the Holy See's face, but they would never save Beihai country. Even if the Holy See asked them to send troops to rescue, they would find excuses to shirk.

However, due to the face of the Holy See, they had to express it. Therefore, when the North Sea country "goes ruthless" and threatens to destroy the opponent through a deadly battle, there is a high possibility that they will support the North Sea country's deadly battle on the surface. why? Because in their minds, Beihai Country is hopeless and will definitely not succeed. Under such circumstances, verbal support will neither harm your own interests, but also give the Holy See an explanation...

...

Therefore, in the end, those religious lords may choose to verbally support the Beihai Kingdom's "ruthlessness", but they will never send out a single soldier to help.

And as long as this group of religious princes raise their momentum early, then some secular princes will follow suit and make wild noises. Anyway, no matter who it is, they will not think that Beihai State, which even made the envoy cry from fright, has a chance to stand up.

As long as more than half of the princes in the Worms Empire Council support the North Sea State's ruthless words to fight the war of annihilation, then the time for Marin's "comeback" will come. With the approval of the Imperial Council, even if these princes are wiped out, other princes will have to hold their noses and recognize them. Because, they agreed before...

...

Of course, before that, Beihai needs to find an actor who looks "miserable"... Ah no, it's an envoy...

In this world, there is a kind of person who is born with a sad face and smiles like a wry smile, looking very unlucky. Usually, we call this kind of person "with a bad face"...

If you have this kind of face, it is very difficult to get out of your head. Because, when your boss sees you, he feels unlucky and unlucky, and his mood becomes bad. You said, would he still be willing to reuse and promote you?

Therefore, when Marin sent people to find people, he did not find people among middle and high-level officials, but directly asked people to go to the grassroots to find people...

why? It is generally difficult for this kind of bad-looking person to get ahead, and they can only be mixed at the bottom. It is useless to be talented...

...

According to this line of thinking, Kohler's intelligence personnel really quickly found a suitable target - the... secretary of a small town judge named Johnny...

Yes, the town judge's secretary. Speaking of which, this Johnny is 38 years old and has worked in the court in the small town of Harger, Norden County, for 15 years.

Fifteen years ago, Johnny graduated from the Faculty of Law of the University of Cologne, and should have a bright future. However, just because of his ugly appearance, he was very unpopular.

At the beginning, he planned to go to Emden, the capital of East Frisia at that time, to find opportunities, but seeing his decline, the dignitaries in Emden at that time refused to give him a chance. As a result, he, a medieval college student, had to return to his hometown of Hag, intending to become a local judge. Of course, he also perfectly avoided Marin's bloodbath of Emden officials...

However, there was already a judge in the town of Harg at that time, so he had to start as the judge's secretary. As a matter of fact, the judge of Haggar Town is just an ignorant son of a nobleman who doesn't know the law at all. So, the legal trial in Harger Town, the tiring work of running errands and collecting evidence in the early stage, was all done by Johnny. When the verdict is pronounced, it will be done by the ignorant judge he serves...

But 15 years have passed, and the town of Hag has changed several judges, but Johnny is still the legal secretary of the town of Hag, and has never been promoted... There is no way, every time the superior officials come to inspect the candidates, they see Johnny Ni's face looks sour, and he can't even feel better...

Therefore, because of his appearance, even if he was a rare college student with talent at that time, Johnny was still unable to get promoted, and was dubbed "unlucky Johnny" by the people in Hager Town...

In fact, the question of looks has always been a big one. Even in later generations, when selecting civil servants in Huaxia, they will also look at their looks. Of course, out of "fairness" considerations, the employer will not explicitly state the issue of appearance, but defaults to this point in the interview. Anyone who looks unlucky or looks like a good person with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek will generally not be admitted... After all, officials want to win the trust of the people. If he looks like a bad guy, the common people won't believe it...

So, for the hapless Johnny, fate is unfair. If it weren't for this time that Marin just needed an envoy with "a bad look", the unlucky Johnny might have been like this for the rest of his life...

After taking the unlucky Johnny to Aurich, Kohler sent him directly to the secret house and handed him over to Marin Ma for business training. After all, Johnny was going to perform at the Worms Imperial Council, so he couldn't be careless. As a horse director, he is naturally obliged to guide his acting skills. Of course, since she is not a beautiful woman, there is no need to discuss the script in private...
