Warlock Royal Family

Chapter 170 VII Letter from Northern Europe

June 1523, 6, the eve of the election of the Holy Roman Empire.

The Elector of Saxony finally heaved a sigh of relief when he learned that Ladislaus had an urgent appointment with him again.

He said sincerely to the important minister who had given him great help: "Martin, this time is thanks to you."

He is also facing a lot of pressure these days. Polish diplomats have met with him several times in the past few days, asking to confirm the traditional alliance between Saxony and Poland in the face of the Elector of Brandenburg and the Hungarian invasion. is it effective.

If you keep the contract, you will immediately go to war with the emperor you support.

If you don't keep your promise, you will lose an important ally.

This is really a nonsense situation for the Electorate of Saxony.

It was only Martin Luther's continuous encouragement that made him persist until today. Finally, the Habsburg side gave in.

This time, the various branches within the Witting family can no longer fight against him. The Kingdom of Poland will definitely suppress the Teutonic Knights with all its might, and the rising momentum of the Hohenzollern family after controlling the Teutonic Knights will also be suppressed. live.

And also got a huge amount of money and more important judicial and missionary rights, he will actually become the overlord of North Germany.

Several princes in the west, Hanover, Brunswick, Lunenburg, and Lübeck Hamburg, the most prosperous cities of the Hanseatic League, all had the opportunity to intervene.

Especially the contradictions among many wealthy cities, the Habsburg family far away in Austria does not get much benefit from exercising judicial power, so it has always been lacking in interest.

But for Saxon, it is a very beneficial power.

This time, the heroes of the world were played and applauded by me, Weiting.

Hohenzollern thought he would jump out against the Habsburgs with two votes, and wanted to give the Teutonic Knights, who were overwhelmed by Poland, a chance to recover.

King Louis of Hungary, a young man who occupied a little territory of the Republic of Venice, became ambitious and wanted to be the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. You, an oriental bastard, also want to wear the most noble crown of Europa?

Although the Habsburg family is powerful in itself and has a certain degree of orthodoxy in long-term control of the throne, its key weakness is that it has no votes. It's like losing the fulcrum of the whole situation, and the situation is completely out of control.

I didn't expect that all three of them lost in the end, and I, Weiting, took them all.

Haha, hahaha.

The Elector of Saxony was walking on the way to the meeting, finally suppressing the urge to look up to the sky and laugh.

"How can I dare to take credit for this? This is the inevitable result of your highness's firm will and smart wrist."

Although Martin Luther still maintained his never-changing calm expression, he was actually very proud in his heart, who could not be proud.

After obtaining the legal right to preach, the overall situation of the Dark Church dominating Europa will be broken, which will inevitably severely damage Cyric's prestige.

The Church of Black Hand has just been reborn from the ashes, and the priests from Martin Luther down are full of devotion to the gods. Compared with the internal relationship of the Roman Church, which is already decayed and aging, it is a very combative group.

Once the preaching can be done fairly among the people, there will inevitably be a great situation where new shoots will replace dead branches and the autumn wind will sweep away fallen leaves.

A Black Hand sweep across North Germany is by no means an impossible dream.

Even Poland, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden can all be taken in one go.

The secret senior clergy in these areas far away from Rome are as high as the emperor, and they are even more filthy without a lower limit.

Moreover, the Church of Rome still has some doctrines that are more or less refined, and theological researchers who understand the teachings of God are trying to conduct research that keeps pace with the times, making the doctrines more refined and easy to spread.

Nor do these latest studies mean anything to the bishops of the North.

It’s too late for them to be busy with political struggles. For example, the archbishops of Sweden think about how to get rid of their colleagues in Denmark every day, and haven’t read the Bible for many years.

Thinking of this, Martin Luther also repented, and he hadn't reviewed "The Book of Mellow Darkness" for a long time.

After this election is over, the black hand will inevitably bring down Ron again, and Martin Luther will definitely be able to use the ninth level of magic to advance to "Guangzhou".

He considered whether to visit England or France again, trying to influence the most important monarch of a great country.

But this matter is not easy to handle, France is the most important area of ​​the dark sun, Henry VIII of England is very hostile to the black hand, and once personally wrote an article slandering His Majesty the black hand.

Although His Majesty Blackhand's magnanimity will certainly not care about him, it must be difficult to make him change.

But why am I, Martin Luther, afraid of difficulties?

The majesty and glory of His Majesty Blackhand must be spread in all directions by me.

In short, the two monarchs and ministers were in a very, very good mood when they entered the secret meeting room again.

To their surprise, Ladislaus and Prime Minister Sarzastan also seemed to be in a good mood.

Ladislaus was talking to Prime Minister Sarzastan with a smile on his face.

The Elector and Martin Luther were somewhat surprised. Although the Habsburg family could keep the throne, they should not be able to laugh at such a big concession.

"What are the two Highnesses talking about? Is there any good news?"

It was Martin Luther who spoke, although it was a small breeze.

Since the Habsburg side had already lost at the last moment when they asked for a meeting, this small downturn is nothing now.

"There is good news, but it's not all good news. There is also bad news." Prime Minister Sarzastan took out a letter. He was really in a good mood, even though it was really inappropriate for him to listen to the news first. trick.

"Let's read the bad news first." Martin Luther didn't play any tricks, and took the letter directly and read it.

"Exactly. I also think that looking at the bad news first is the solemn attitude that a decent gentleman should have." Prime Minister Sarzastan looked at Martin Luther's drastic face change with satisfaction.

The messenger who arrived unexpectedly and quickly did not reply to them, but conveyed a Nordic message.

King Christian II of the United Kingdom of Denmark and Norway, whom the Elector of Saxony relied on, had been deposed by his uncle, the Duke of Holstein.

The national policy of cracking down on the big aristocracy in favor of the bourgeoisie created great discontent in the Copenhagen parliament, combined with defeat in Sweden and an overreaction to the mistress's killing.

These reasons led to Christian II's rebellion. The rebels killed from Holstein entered Copenhagen without bloodshed, and Denmark's mighty navy basically remained neutral.

However, there were finally a few mid-level naval officers who were born in wealthy families rather than nobles, repaying the favor they had received over the years, and desperately hijacked a warship to protect the king and his wife from escaping.

Although it has always been suspected that the Habsburg family participated in the killing of his mistress, King Christian had no choice but to go to the Netherlands to ask his uncle Ferdinand for asylum. (To be continued.
