The Rise of the European Emperor

After King Hans fainted from anger, Marin immediately sent someone to carry him down for treatment. After all, if this guy dies, the contract signed with him is equivalent to a contract signed with the dead, and no one may admit it. Therefore, Marin needs King Hans to survive.

However, before taking King Hans away, Marin left behind King Hans' special stamp, pen and ink. When the king signs the agreement, there will usually be professional ink configured by specialized craftsmen. In addition, with stamps and fixed handwriting, it is difficult for ordinary people to imitate.

But who is Marin? He may have learned to give false testimony in his previous life. It's absolutely trivial to engrave a stamp on a radish. With the handwriting of documents signed by King Hans himself, he could use it to forge.

However, after thinking about it, Marin gave up the fraud. Because King Hans is still there, if he denies it, his ability to forge will be exposed. At that time, it will be easy for others to think of the fact that they forged their grandfather's aristocratic status.

So, Marin gave up that unreliable idea. The problem, however, was that after King Hans signed the peace treaty, he had not had time to sign an order ordering the withdrawal of Prince Christian and the Danish army in Sweden.

So Marin brought over the Danish Prime Minister Mikel, who was also arrested. In fact, many executive orders do not need to be issued by the king himself. As long as it is supplemented with the seal of the king, in fact, the prime minister can also issue decrees.

Well, Prime Minister Mikel is a timid one. In the Danish court, as Prime Minister, Mikel's influence is not as powerful as that of Admiral Thomasson, War Minister Simonson and Chancellor of the Exchequer Dawson.

However, Marin didn't care about those, he only knew that the order signed by the Prime Minister, stamped with the seal of the king, was also valid. It just so happened that Mikel was very timid. Seeing that King Hans had signed up, he was very cooperative.

Of course, if he meets King Hans now, King Hans will definitely stop him from issuing the official document. Only, will Marin let him meet King Hans?

Seeing the peace treaty in Marlin's hands, Mikel confirmed again and again that it was indeed signed by the king himself, and the ink and stamp were also specially made. Therefore, under the pressure of Marin's guards' swords, he also compromised. Anyway, he acted according to the rules after seeing the peace treaty signed by the king...

In this way, with the cooperation of Mikel, Marin forced Mikel to issue official documents to realize the content of the peace treaty. For example, the signing of legal documents recognizing that the duchies of Holstein and Schleswig were handed over to Lübeck, Hamburg and East Friesland respectively. At the same time, a decree was also signed, ordering the Danish army to withdraw from southern Sweden and return to the Danish island of Zealand, or withdraw to Oslo, Norway, and give the original territory to Sweden. As for Gotland, it was also given to Sweden.

Of course, he did not forget to transfer the territories in the Arctic Circle of Norway, Sweden and Finland to Marin. In fact, although there is a super-rich Kiruna iron ore, Marin does not think that this iron ore can be developed in a short time. It's just that Da Vinci has already started to develop steam engines, and maybe in a few years, he will be able to develop railways. Only then will Kiruna's iron-rich mines be worth developing. However, there is nothing wrong with taking advantage of this opportunity to occupy the pit ahead of time.

With the cooperation of Prime Minister Mikel, Marin "instructed" him to issue a large number of official documents to finally realize the content of the peace treaty. Hearing that Marin was "instructing" the Danish Prime Minister to issue an official document, people from the other three families immediately surrounded him and followed Marin's example in advance of their own political intentions.

Of course, most of the documents issued by Mikel were administrative documents. But when he turned to the diplomatic document, Marin's eyes suddenly lit up...

why? Diplomatic documents are basically written in Latin, and Marin can understand them, but there is no need for Danish translation. What Marin opened was the diplomatic document issued by Denmark earlier. For example, those who condemned the Quartet Alliance and those who asked for help from the two emperors. It's just that the infantry and fleet of the Alliance captured Zealand too quickly, and these diplomatic documents were not sent out in time.

Moreover, Marin also saw the diplomatic document sent by King Hans to the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and he was very flattering, hoping that the other party would send troops to help. Even, it was sent to Emperor Maximilian I, asking the emperor to take back Marin "this vicious dog"...

In this regard, Marin was not angry, but the bad water in his stomach came out again...

"If I take this opportunity to send a few harshly provocative diplomatic documents to Denmark's allies, will those Danish allies be so angry that they cut off diplomatic relations with Denmark?"

Thinking of doing it, Marin immediately used the "folding method" to hide the true content of a diplomatic document that scolded Grand Duke Maozi for his incompetence and slandered the regent Prince Vasily as gay and lesbian, and only allowed Prime Minister Mikel Saw the fake, peaceful part and tricked Mikel into signing it.

Then, using the same method, Marin tricked Mikel into signing a cowardly letter rebuking Hans' brother-in-law, the Elector Frederick III of Saxony, for not being able to protect his sister. Of course, the Elector of Brandenburg was not left behind. In the official document, it was written in the tone of King Hans-I was blind when I married my daughter to you as a waste...

As for the King of Scotland, Marin did not forge diplomatic documents, but just sent a normal document. Because the Kingdom of Scotland has always been suppressed by England, and it has no ability to interfere in German affairs.

When Marin showed the completed diplomatic document to Speaker Tagfacht, Speaker Heisenberg, and Stern Stulay, the three old men almost broke out of laughter.

Of course, Marin didn't tell the three old men what to do. Just tell them that I coerced Mikel to sign it...

In fact, if Mikel really knew the real content of the diplomatic document, he would not be willing to sign it if he was killed. Because, after such an official document is sent, it will directly fill Denmark with hatred. Even if he is the Prime Minister, he will surely die...

King Hans and his family were imprisoned in the backyard of the palace, and Marin and three old men happily directed the hapless Prime Minister Mikel to issue various official documents in the front yard.

At the same time, Marin's men and the ships of the Hanseatic League began to transport the property seized from Denmark to their own territory...

Because the Principality of Schleswig will soon be his own, Marin did not transport things back to Emden, but shipped a large amount of goods to the city of Schleswig, the capital of the Principality of Schleswig. When there is time later, I will ship those back to East Friesland. Of course, if necessary, some of those goods can also be kept locally to support local construction. After all, he will be the Duke of Schleswig from now on.

Among the diplomatic documents signed by Prime Minister Mikel, there is one, which specifically recognizes Marin as the new Duke of Schleswig on behalf of the Kalmar Union.

It's just that when it comes to the Duchy of Holstein, Mikel doesn't know who to admit is the Duke of Holstein...

After all, Lübeck and Hamburg shared the Duchy of Holstein, so who should the duke be? Then, it became a very famous diplomatic issue in Europe...

On the Swedish side, Mikel also signed an instrument announcing that Denmark would recognize the old Sten Sture's status as the Swedish regent and respect the right of the Swedes to choose their own king.

What made Marin smile bitterly was that Meeker wisely issued a diplomatic document declaring Marin to be the chief chief of the Sami people in the polar regions where the Sami people live in northern Norway, northern Sweden and northern Finland...

"Great Chief... Chief... Chief..." Marin was full of black lines and wanted to beat Mikel.

However, he also played enough Mikel, knowing that if Mikel continued to stay in Denmark, he would die. So he showed Mikel the three real diplomatic documents afterwards, and suggested that Mikel move to the Principality of Schleswig and serve as the palace minister of the Principality of Schleswig.

After all, Mikel, though soft-tempered, is also talented. At least, proficient in all kinds of business that the prime minister should know...
