All the legal heirs of King Christian IV of Denmark were sent to Iceland by Olaf. In the whole of Denmark and Europe, only Christensen met the criteria for succession, and dozens of illegitimate children did not exist.

Under the operation of Sweden, Christensen, who was far away in the Principality of Holstein, was taken to Copenhagen and succeeded to the throne.

Denmark has entered the era of Christensen I, and at the same time it has fast-forwarded to the peace talks that Sweden, Iceland and other countries are most concerned about.

On May 2, 1635, Olaf, Brahe, and Uksenchener came to Rosenborg Palace in uniforms, and also met Christensen I.

Christensen seemed to be very afraid of the three, and hurriedly got up and said: "Welcome the arrival of the three lords. If we conclude an alliance today, we can exchange peace for Northern Europe."

Uksenshina smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you are a benevolent monarch. We are the same clan in Sweden and Denmark. Blood is thicker than water. We naturally look forward to peace."

A few people said a few words and they were seated, and then Brahe came up with a contract. This is the terms he negotiated with Olaf and Uxenschena a few days ago. These days, he has already agreed with Kristen. Mori and Danish ministers passed anger.

Christensen took the treaty from the attendant, opened it, and saw that there was no change. He gave a sigh of relief, looked around at the ministers around him, and asked: "Look at it, everyone. If there is nothing wrong, the Prime Minister of the Privy Council will sign it! "

Because they discussed it in private, and the Swedish army is still in Copenhagen, they are worried about not agreeing to the addition of axe. Looking at the conditions put forward by the Swedish side, everyone feels that it is not difficult to accept.

After the prime minister and the ministers had read it, they waited for a while and they did not raise any objections before they picked up the quill brush and signed the name, then clenched their fists and smeared the ring seal of the **** on the name, and finally took the treaty and handed it over. A copy was given to Brahe.

The treaties signed in Copenhagen on various matters of the Friendship Agreement between Sweden and Denmark are as follows:

Article 1: Denmark unconditionally returns and recognizes that Gotland, Gothenburg, Kalmar and related areas belong to Swedish territory.

Article 2: Denmark unconditionally ceded Saaremaa, Bornholm, Halland, Skona, Bajas, and Blekinge to Sweden.

Article 3: Denmark unconditionally cedes the Trondheim region and Tedregg Province of Norway to Sweden, and is taken over by the Principality of Iceland.

Article 4: Denmark joins the Swedish Confederacy, provides a source of troops for Sweden during Sweden’s foreign war, and attacks all countries that are enemies of Sweden.

Article 5: Denmark guarantees that the ships of the Swedish Empire pass through the Songde Strait free of charge, and that ships of countries that are hostile to Sweden are not allowed to pass.

Article 6: Denmark pays the military expenses of the occupying forces to Sweden.

Article 7: Dan King Christensen was young and ignorant. In order to better learn to govern the country and become a king, he should go to Stockholm to meet Gustav II the Great, and ask for a relationship between his godfather and his son.

...

There are 10 articles in the "Copenhagen Treaty", but the core content is 7 articles, of which the third article is for himself, and the fifth article is for everyone.

A few days ago, the battle between Norway and Iceland in Trondheim ended, and the Viking Army actually controlled Trondheim and the entire Tedreg province eastward.

Olaf learned that he had achieved his strategic goal, not only occupying Trondheim, dividing Norway from north to south, but also expanding the results of the battle and pushing the actual control area to the border of Sweden. Naturally, it is impossible to vomit it back.

Therefore, the content of "Denmark unconditionally cedes the Trondheim region of Norway and the province of Tedregg to the Principality of Iceland" was added to the treaty, which also caused serious dissatisfaction with Uxenschena.

However, Olaf doesn’t care about the prime minister of Uxensena who is about to become the past tense. He feels that Iceland has acquired Trondheim and Tedreg province. Although it is still the territory of the Swedish Empire in name, it is actually controlled by the Principality of Iceland. , Which is equivalent to giving it to Iceland.

With the land of Norway as a stronghold and springboard, Iceland can play a greater role, and it divides Norway from the north to the south. Sooner or later, the least populated north will be in its own pocket.

So Olaf felt that although Sweden had made a lot of money in this war, Iceland had also reaped the most affordable benefits. Even Christensen, who had not had the chance to inherit the throne, also boarded the coveted throne. The only blood loss was Denmark. Christian IV and the citizens of Copenhagen, but the elders who signed the treaty have long forgotten about the painful abdication of the king and the leeks who no one cares about.

After the signing of the Copenhagen Treaty, the envoys of various countries learned the contents of the treaty for the first time, and then immediately exploded.

The land reimbursement is a routine operation, and all the envoys have already guessed it. Although I think Sweden has a big appetite, I think it is Gustav II, the Nordic lion, and accept it.

But let King Christensen of Dan recognize Gustaf II as the godfather, even if it was the first of Sweden, the envoys of various countries are a little buzzing, they think this is an insult to Denmark.

Although it’s perfectly fine for Gustav II to be Christensen’s godfather at the age of, and the two sects are the same, this kind of behavior can be done privately. Why should it be written in the treaty? Isn't this publicly humiliating the Danish royal family and forcing Denmark to call Swedish father?

Because the content of this treaty is completely different from the Prague Peace Treaty, and the style is also different from when Gustav II forced Habsburg, Poland, and Russia before the peace talks. In addition, everyone knows that Gustav II is still ill in the country. Therefore, the envoys of various countries knew that this treaty must have been drafted by the big men of Sweden who occupied Denmark.

There are only three people in Sweden who can call the shots. One is Swedish Prime Minister Uksen Siena. This is a gentleman who often deals with each other, so naturally he will not be so rough.

Brahe and Olaf are both rising stars who are newly promoted by Gustav II. Both of them are eager to make quick successes and insult Denmark.

As soon as the envoys of the countries sent people to inquire, it was easy to know that the main drafter of this treaty was Count Olaf.

Thinking of his deeds on the German battlefield and the origin of the Icelandic independence forces, all the envoys frowned, and secretly cursed in their hearts: "The rude and rude northern barbarian! A countryman!"

It is determined that it is Olaf's opinion ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ rather than Gustav II who deliberately violated the convention. The envoys of the countries are relieved. After all, things beyond understanding and control are always unpleasant.

But Olaf was only the son of a chief who fell behind in the savage Badlands. It is understandable that such savages do some savage things.

After thanking Prime Minister Uksenchener who leaked the news, the envoys of various countries complained about Olaf's rudeness and brutality and then returned to the country.

But George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, the British envoy, stayed. When he came, he brought two missions from the British king. One was to bring peace to Than Shwe and rescue King Christian IV. Now this mission is considered to be Half done, but I can explain it.

However, the second task was that the King of England saw that Denmark was defeated and must cede land for compensation. He was worried that the money lent to Christian IV would not be returned, so he urged George Villiers to take advantage of the Swedish garrison. The payment is done and Denmark is forced to repay the debt and interest.
