The Rise of the European Emperor

Outside Copenhagen, Marin is watching the competition while eating melons. It's summer, and it's a good time for a lot of melons and fruits to go on the market. It's just that the dignitaries in Copenhagen can't taste it. Because Copenhagen is surrounded, the melon farmers outside can't send watermelons into the city.

At this moment, Marin was a good melon eater, nibbling on the brightest red watermelon while watching with relish the grand occasion of the veterans fighting each other.

On the edge of the competition arena, there are carts of watermelons placed there. Marin stipulates that the champion group who fights every day can collectively want to use these freshly marketed watermelons. Of course, the soldiers could not enjoy eating watermelon, they could only get a piece of watermelon per person. Unlike Marin, who nibbled at the biggest watermelon.

These watermelons were originally planted in a manor near Copenhagen and used to supply the dignitaries in Copenhagen. However, because the city was besieged, these watermelons could not be transported into the city.

Coincidentally, when Marin's cavalry patrolled, they found a large melon field. Then, the watermelons were assembled in response to Marin's army. Anyway, the rich and powerful in Copenhagen can't eat it. Rather than rot in the melon fields, it is better to leave it to the East Frisian army to solve it.

However, because the number is insufficient, after all, it is the supply of powerful people, so Marin had to use it to reward only those who won the competition while satisfying himself. Moreover, each person can only get one slice of watermelon. But even so, those soldiers were satisfied. After all, in this era, not everyone can eat watermelon. The bread that ordinary people eat is mixed with soil, how can they eat melons...

This is also to blame for the backward agriculture in Europe. The output is so low and the food price is so high... Watermelons can only be enjoyed by the powerful, and serfs and so on, they should honestly eat black bread mixed with soil. Unlike the Ming Dynasty during the same period, ordinary rural landlords could eat watermelon in summer. No way, people have developed agriculture, they can spread manure, and the watermelons that grow are bigger...

Eating watermelon and watching a group of muscular men fight in groups gives the same visual sense of watching Young and Dangerous movies in a previous life. Also, the scene here is bigger. After all, this is the army, thousands, not hundreds of gangsters. Of course, it doesn't look hot-blooded. After all, Young and Dangerous uses a knife, and it is very bloody and emotional when it is chopped. But stabbing each other with sticks is much less fun. However, in terms of lethality, a machete is not worthy of a spear's shoe. This is also the reason why the ancient army popularly used spears. In addition to the fact that the spear saves iron materials, its lethality is considerable, but it is an important reason.

In this era, because of the lack of entertainment, especially in the military camp, watching a group of muscle sticks fight is probably the only fun.

However, this kind of competition is not just Marin's personal pleasure. Its practical effect is also very good. After all, this kind of competitive collective competition can also train the warriors' coordinated combat ability.

Marin doesn't like to hold any kind of sports meeting, because, even if there are many champions in those individual events, there is a bird for it? The military looks at the ability of the team, not the ability of the individual. Unless, is to choose special forces.

Therefore, Marin prefers to watch the soldiers fight in groups rather than individual fights. Even in shooting competitions, look at the team's total shooting scores, not individual shooting scores. Of course, the only sport retained by Marin in modern games is probably football. Because football is a team battle of 11 people. Unlike basketball, because of the small number of people, it has degenerated into a personal show for the muscle blacks.

Moreover, in military football, Marin places great emphasis on overall football and does not allow it to work alone. If anyone wants to express themselves and run around the field with the ball alone, they will not be applauded, but punished by a bat...

After all, Marin promoted football in the military to exercise the tacit understanding and synergy between the soldiers, not to let them show themselves. Only husbands like Ribery and Robben are expected to be maimed by military sticks here in Marin...

After eating melon in the morning and watching a few team fights,

In the afternoon, Marin watched a few more football games. The original 90-minute game was changed to a 45-minute half by Marin. In this way, he can also watch a few more games.

According to Marin's instructions, all soldiers and soldiers must advance and retreat at the same time when playing football, and maintain the integrity of the formation at all times. Whoever runs around will be beaten with a baton after the game. Under Marin's harsh requirements, all fighters participating in football games pay great attention to their positions when playing the ball. When attacking, everyone pressed on collectively, and when defending, everyone tried their best to return to the defense. It seems that this is a bit like a Dutch all-out attack. Of course, running all over the field takes a lot of physical energy. Therefore, Marin arranged the game to be 45 minutes, and the soldiers usually have physical training, which is not very difficult.

Just as Marin watched the two powerful teams compete, the guards suddenly came to report-there was a mysterious person who wanted to see Marin...

So, Marin left the court and went to see the mysterious man...

In fact, the guards knew the identity of the other party. After all, Herman IV's subordinates have displayed their identity cards. However, due to confidentiality requirements. When reporting to Marin, the guards could only say that they were mysterious people, to avoid the news that Herman IV's men had come to Marin's place from leaking.

Soon, Marin, wearing plate armor, brought Kahn and other men to meet this mysterious man...

Marin was afraid of death, for fear that the other party was an assassin. So, simply put on the plate armor, with Kahn and other masters to help. Fortunately, Denmark is not hot in summer, otherwise, Marin wearing plate armor might suffer from heat stroke...

After seeing Marin, Herman IV's henchmen quickly handed the secret letter to Marin...

Marin, wearing leather gloves, opened the letter (to prevent poisoning) and began to read...

Marin's face became more and more ugly as he read...

Hermann IV told Marin that after fleeing, Frederick III did not stay in his country, but immediately led a team to Worms, and asked the Archbishop of Mainz, Jacob, to convene a lot of people who were not with Marin. To deal with the princes, an anti-Ma meeting was held.

What is even more hateful is that the guy Frederick III actually changed the concept and described the confrontation between the Bersa coalition and the Marin army as a confrontation between the princes and the emperor, which caused the princes to be nervous.

The most extreme thing is that Frederick III, an old bastard, actually wanted to call on all the princes of Germany to form a group to beat Marin together...

If it wasn't for Herman IV and other religious princes who knew that Marin had a close relationship with the current Pope and dismissed Frederick III's suggestion, maybe Marin would have faced a group fight of hundreds of thousands of troops...

"Special, this old bastard! He took the initiative to invade others, and even if he loses, he has the face to encourage others to avenge him! It's shameless!" Marin slapped the table angrily.

It was plain simple - Saxony and Brandenburg formed a group to attack the alliance of Marin and Lübeck, Hamburg, and were defeated.

However, this shameless old man actually said that he was the vanguard sent by Maximilian I to unify Germany, and called on everyone to gang up on himself...

Originally, this was so absurd, that's all. However, most of the secular princes who attended the meeting responded positively, which made Marin extremely angry.

If present, Marin would like to roar angrily at this group of secular princes:

"Your brains have been bitten by dogs? Obviously we are fighting against each other, are you making fun of j8? You don't know if you were used as a gunman..."

Moreover, it seems that Frederick III not only wanted to avoid the fate of Saxony from ceding territory by inciting the princes, but even planned to incite the princes to form a group to destroy himself.

Malin was instantly angry, and he decided - no matter what this time, he must teach Saxony an unforgettable lesson and never succumb to the pressure of those brain-dead princes. The big deal, after the failure, he took people to hide in the Americas for development, and then fought back...
