The commander of the Spanish fleet originally planned to hold a small New Year's celebration ceremony, but Ladislaus rejected the dinner specially prepared for the nobles and senior officers, and instead paid a little more of his own pocket plus the budget Naples bought thousands of poultry and ten pigs for all the soldiers, so that everyone could be happy.

Ladislaus made the old Colonna's subordinates responsible for distributing the meat and told every soldier "this is from the Habsburg archbishop of Vienna." Even the Spanish grassroots soldiers need to let them know about their King Feder Although His Majesty Nande has great authority, there is also a Cardinal Ladislaus in Vienna who is also a prominent figure in the warlock royal family.

There is also an old friend of Ladislaus in Naples, the Marquis of Pescara who is now the Governor of Naples.

After winning the Battle of Bicoca, the Spanish Legion no longer adopted the second-line deployment policy of stationing in Sardinia and Sicily, but took the initiative to go out to the Naples area to directly suppress the Italian city-states, relying on the Battle of Bicoca to attack Pescara The Marquis obtained a considerable position in the Spanish kingdom's power system.

These nominal members of the Holy Roman Empire paid a little more imperial tax because of this, and the second sons of many noble families could also choose to serve in the Spanish army.

Ladislaus did not disembark, but he and the old Colonna met with the Marquis of Pescara, the governor of Naples.

For the Marquis of Pescara, the visiting Austrian monarch.No matter how short the time is, we still have to see each other last time.

The content of the meeting was not very nutritious, it was full of friendly nonsense from Theo.The Marquis of Pescara has a task on his head, but the difficulty of "helping the Marquis of Pescara seek the position of prime minister" is too high, and no amount of reward is enough.

The Marquis of Pescara's ambition has something to do with his power. As mentioned earlier, the two most important positions in the Kingdom of Spain after the Prime Minister in Europe are the Governor of the Netherlands and the Governor of Naples.

Although the governor's power is actually mainly concentrated in the military, he also has some say in personnel and economics. These two territories, which are comparable to medium-sized countries, make the two governors very powerful.

Of course, the Netherlands is more important both economically and militarily.And it's not a little bit more important. The prosperity of Antwerp, The Hague, and Rotterdam is not inferior to that of Venice and Liguria.

However, the pain brought to Naples by war and plague 30 years ago has not yet healed.

It’s just that this is not all good for the governor of the Netherlands, because the Netherlands is so important, so whether it is the past Charles V or the current Ferdinand I have taken control of the overall situation in Brussels too frequently, and the local governor has been suppressed too much , so the Prince of Orange does not have as much power as the Marquis of Pescara.

Naples was originally only a secondary direction, but as the Kingdom of France continued to pass through Italy.The importance and resources allocated here are also increasing.

This time, His Majesty Ferdinand gathered a large amount of supplies in Naples for the decisive battle with the Ottoman Empire. Although he gave some of them to Ladislaus, most of them remained there. The Marquis of Pescara could therefore strengthen the garrison and raise the pride of making contributions and entering the center. .

Ferdinand's crackdown on native Spanish powers since his accession has fueled his ideas, though Ladislaus is now also monarch.He understands monarchs better, especially wise ones.

Sarzastan became prime minister after nearly a decade of service in Madrid as a bohemian.

Although Spanish local forces need to be suppressed, making a Neapolitan who had never had much influence in Madrid became prime minister crossed that line, a line that inspired "discontent" into "resistance".

The Marquis of Pescara is not very disappointed that Ladislaus has no interest at all, although he does have ambitions.but

He didn't have much hope for Ladislaus' support, after all, Madrid is the power center of the warlock royal family.

Madrid can influence Vienna.rather than the other way around.

However, Ladislaus's reputation for spending money everywhere in order to establish Vienna Neustadt may have also spread to the Governor's Palace of Naples. The Marquis of Pescara is not a rich man, but there is still something to give away.

For example, the prisoners of war captured by the Kingdom of Spain from Algeria, although pirates are usually captured and hanged, occasionally some of them do become prisoners, because many of them are actually just residents of pirates’ private ports, and fierce pirates have no chance to become prisoners. Captives, but just like the killing of Trieste Port and countless coastal residents captured by Barbary pirates, no one is innocent.

Of course, this is not a personal gift. It is inappropriate for a courtier to give a gift to a foreign monarch even if it is two countries under the rule of the sorcerer royal family. Of course, the Marquis of Pescara has the permission of His Majesty Emperor Ferdinand, but this is still a personal favor. Other governors I wouldn't be interested in doing this. Hanging them all can save a lot of heart.

Although Ladislaus did not take the initiative to ask for it, but after accepting more than a thousand pirate prisoners, his prestige has lost a lot. Now only 10009 is left. fell to the brink of danger.

Although Ladislaus predicted the Ottoman Empire's victory over the Hospitaller Knights and restored him several hundred prestige, this kind of prediction only made the courtiers think it was good luck, and they were not completely convinced.

But Ladislaus thought he would lose more. Although he borrowed the wisdom in Li Di's memory to play a stone bull to open the way, this shadowy plan did not help restore his prestige. A series of concessions by the Republic of Venice was an open injury.

The strong should take it with the sword, and the weak beg everywhere.

What's more, what comes from begging must be rubbish. Those who have lived with pirates for too long are also not good at producing like pirates.

Of course it doesn't matter, Sarzastan and Machiavelli are both people who can scare garbage, even garbage can be transformed and squeezed.

Of course, before learning to burn bricks, move bricks, and lay bricks honestly, many pirate captives will die under the whip and sword.

Maybe the death rate will be high, but in the end most of them will burn bricks, move bricks, and lay bricks.

The dead will be the teaching material for the living.

The late first State Council meeting in 1524 was not a good one. The Fugger family rejected Ladislaus's request for a huge loan, and many of Ladislaus's plans had to be postponed.

After becoming a baron, Sherlock had a bad start and failed to borrow money.

Although Ladislaus immediately reprimanded this new favorite courtier severely, he was not surprised at all.

The money of the Fugger family is also tight. In this case, of course, the first thing to do is to support Spain, the country where the Fugger family members are treasurers, and His Majesty Ferdinand's Eastern Expedition plan makes this plutocrat a little bit powerless.

Although the ability of Ladislaus to raise funds allows a project beyond Austria's national strength to continue to operate, Austria's finances are indeed unable to provide further support. Machiavelli's financial budget shows that no matter how frugal it is, it will not be able to achieve a surplus this year. However, the ability to barely balance the fiscal balance is already due to the resilience of Milan, a wealthy province, beyond expectations.

This still does not take into account the cost of the war, but it is obviously impossible for Ladislaus' Austria to avoid the war. The recovery ability of the Kingdom of France is amazing and once again established a large army to suppress Spain, and the Duke of Bourbon is also gearing up for a big fight One day, after some contact with him, many nobles who sympathized with him showed signs of rebellion.

What's more, Ladislaus knew that in 1524, in addition to the Kingdom of France, there were many wars in the Holy Roman Empire.

It's just that at this point Ladislaus can't back down anymore. More than 100 million talers have been invested in the construction of the new city. It is absolutely impossible to give up. He can only continue to persist.

However, Ladislaus's plan to engage in several large-scale money-making operations was temporarily postponed, and he also gave up his plan to intervene in several important positions and replace him with his confidantes to increase tax efficiency.

It is the best choice to allow Machiavelli and Sarzastan to gradually infiltrate and seize the interests of the original members of the State Council. In this process, the inner circle will always share a little more interest with the monarch in exchange for support and continued close trust.

His prestige is already too low. Although he is very careful, any money has its owner, and taking it will bring enemies. Maybe their lack of master status is mostly not directly related to the big members of the state council, but indirectly The conflict eventually spread from the bottom up.

If the drop exceeds the limit of [-], there will definitely be people who doubt his ability to be a monarch. Ladislaus believes that this is a reminder from the system in his soul.

The most important thing for Ladislaus is not to ignore this trend, but to actively satisfy this silent desire.

For the time being, he has no ability to compensate or severely punish, there is no money for compensation, and the timing of severe punishment is not good, so he decided to continue to wait, and he told his courtiers that someone will rush to give him money soon.

Of course, he is not idle. The more important thing than the money bag is the barrel of the gun.

The transformation of the officer corps is also proceeding according to the scheduled plan, and several military tests have been conducted in the past few days after returning to Vienna.

Not many officers were knocked down by magic missiles. Except for a guy who seemed to have been hollowed out by alcohol, trying to activate the magic on an ill-fitting brooch to escape the test, the other dozen or so officers who had passed the test They all passed the exam smoothly.

Of course, there are good and bad, a few officers yelled wildly after surviving the blow, and a few officers looked pale and didn't have any confidence in themselves.

For the few people who did not change their colors, Ladislaus marked their names on the roster for future reference.

The real big trouble is the culture test.
