The Rise of Iceland

Charles I lent Christian IV 1.5 million shillings three years ago, but the interest was 20% per annum, and the first year’s interest was deducted when the loan was delivered.

Therefore, three years ago, Christian IV received only 1.2 million shillings. Over the past few years, he has gradually repaid more than one and a half shillings, leaving about half a million shillings in gold coins with a combined principal and interest.

Originally, Charles I was not worried about Denmark's ability to repay. Even Christian IV was poorly armed and had high military expenditures and debts. Only the Songde Strait was a cash cow, and Denmark could always recover even if it was wounded.

However, after learning the news of Sweden’s attack on Copenhagen, Charles I began to worry about his uncle Christian IV. He was not worried about his safety out of relatives, but purely worried that Denmark would not have the money to repay his loan after the defeat.

Therefore, after the Danish request for military assistance arrived, Charles I directly ignored it and sent George Villiers to Copenhagen, asking him to bring peace to Than Shwe, so that he could also benefit from Christian IV and ask him to hurry. Time to repay.

In fact, Charles I whispered before George Villiers set off that if Denmark was defeated in the war, he would cede land and pay indemnities. By that time, he would have no money to pay him back, so he asked George Villiers to wait for an opportunity. You can give the representative of Sweden some benefits, and ask him to force Denmark to make a fuss about the taxes in the Sonder Strait to repay the remaining money.

In the face of money and interests, the weight of family affection is always weaker than a copper plate.

George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, knew very well that Denmark was over. He felt that the Nordic hegemon had fallen into a puppet state in his heart. Then he sent a servant to see Olaf.

In the afternoon of the same day, Duke Villiers rode to a simple barracks near the pier. It looked like it was a stockyard and warehouse before, but now it is obviously occupied by Olaf’s soldiers as a barracks.

Looking at Olaf's soldiers, I saw an ugly man with black hair and black eyes with a skin color similar to that of an Eastern European approaching him and said in blunt Danish: "Master, please come over."

Thinking of some kind of rumors, Villiers smiled and asked: "Are you a yellow Viking from the Principality of Iceland?"

The ugly man said solemnly: "My name is Stu, I don't understand well, please."

George Villiers raised his eyebrows, then smiled and nodded and followed Stu into the innermost warehouse.

Olaf saw his soldier Stu walking in with an old English gentleman and hurriedly got up to meet him, and said, "Your Excellency Duke George Villiers, welcome!"

The Duke of Buckingham, George Villiers, had the same name and surname as the old Duke, but he was more favored than his old father, and he was the most trusted confidant of Charles I.

Later, Cromwell rebelled on behalf of the Puritans. At the beginning, he wiped out the villain George Villiers under the banner of pursuing the king's side. Later, after becoming the weather, he entered London and cut the head of Charles I.

However, when Charlie was on the guillotine, George Villiers had already escorted Charles II to the Netherlands. It was not until the death of Cromwell that little Cromwell could not live in the town. He followed the restored Charlie. Dynasty returned to London.

I never hoped that the Anglo-Saxon would have a good Olaf and shook hands with Villiers with a grin.

Villiers fought a cold war for no reason, and then said to Olaf: "Your Excellency, Lord Olaf, I came to you with a request..."

Hearing Villiers’ words, Olaf sneered: “Your Excellency, did you not look for Uxenschener and Brahe? What are you still looking for with me?”

Villiers was not embarrassed in the slightest, and smiled and said: "It was just two of them who were unable to facilitate this. He also said that you dare to do things, and you are the most trusted officer of Gustav the Great. That’s why I begged to see you, Lord Lord, to facilitate this, and I can give you 10% in return."

Olaf smiled and said, "Don't worry if you don't have money. I heard that His Majesty Charlie is fighting against the rebels in Scotland. I don't know what's going on?"

Villiers smiled and said: "You are well informed. The rebels in Scotland cannot become a climate. They have already been controlled. The remaining small groups of rebels dare not take the initiative to provoke."

"Oh, my Icelandic Viking Legion is brave and good at fighting. If there is peace today, there is no use for good soldiers. I wonder if His Majesty Charlie needs a mercenary regiment?"

Villiers nodded clearly and said: "Your Viking Legion has made great achievements. I know that if your Legion is free, we are naturally willing to hire. The price will be based on the market, plus 20%, how about it? "

Olaf nodded with satisfaction: "Very good! Since Lord Duke is a refreshing person, I would also like to make friends with you. Tomorrow, tomorrow you follow me into the palace, I will persuade His Majesty Christensen to repay the debt. ."

Villiers smiled and took out a gray pearl the size of an ordinary person’s eyeball, and said, “This is the top pearl of the Maldives. I heard that you have been engaged to the princess of the Principality of Pomerania. My fiancée is a late gift."

Olaf laughed and accepted the pearls, and then happily sent Villiers away.

The next morning, Olaf and Villiers rode into the Rosenborg Palace and met Christensen.

Christensen respected Olaf very much, and asked them to sit down and inquire about coming.

Olaf smiled, and pointed to Villiers and said: "His Majesty Christian IV borrowed a loan of 1.5 million shillings from His Majesty Charles in England, and has now repaid most of it. His Majesty Charlie Tovilliers asked His Majesty To ask for the remaining balance, Villiers hopes that I will be a guarantor, and persuade your Majesty, I think you will find a way to pay the remaining money!"

Olaf's expression was relaxed, his tone of voice was calm, and his blue eyes looked at Christensen I with no respect.

Kristensen felt resentful in his heart. When an evil spirit came up, he would get angry, and ordered Olaf and Villiers to be driven out, but he remembered that there are still hundreds of Swedish soldiers in the palace. The above is to take care of yourself.

The situation could not tolerate his own temper, Christensen I's face was uncertain, and he mused for a long time before smiling and saying: "Your Excellency Olaf, since you have come to make peace, I always have to give some face. It's just that the treasury is empty, and even compensation is paid to Sweden. Military expenditures have to be borrowed from the private sector to make up enough. To be honest, I am not giving you face, there is really no money in this country..."

Olaf turned to look at Villiers, Villiers got up and said, "Your Majesty, if you don't have money for the time being, can you mortgage the taxes in the Songde Strait for some money?"

"How can this work?"

Christensen said with a sullen expression: "Your Excellency Olaf, Your Excellency Villiers, I have no money in Denmark now, can I give it a year of grace?"

Olaf smiled and said: "Your Majesty, if you really have no money, or else I will find a way to help you raise some loans from Iceland~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I repay the UK first, and then slowly repay Iceland, how about it?"

Christensen was silent, Olaf said softly: "Otherwise, I will send someone back to ask Christian IV. He may have some ideas after returning to China, and he can collect money to pay back English..."

Before Olaf finished speaking, Christensen I panicked and said in his heart: The old man is back, can I still sit in my seat? Isn’t the money owed to the UK turned into a owed to Iceland? If you think about it, there is nothing unacceptable.

Olaf smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, have you thought about it?"

Christensen I nodded and said: "Just listen to Your Excellency Olaf, please help me to raise the loan. First change to His Majesty Charles I. In the future, we can slowly discuss the repayment regulations for the money owed to Iceland. What do you think? "

Olaf grinned with a bright smile, and said: "As you wish! Denmark owes England money, I will pay it back!"
