Warlock Royal Family

() On February 1524, 2, Ladislaus finally waited for the person who gave the money, and the emissary of the Fugger family arrived in Vienna.Access to download txt novels..

It's just that the benefactor looked quite embarrassed. Although he was dressed decently, his mental state was very bad, and his panic and anxiety were beyond words.

"Your Excellency, Archbishop, please save the lives of all of us Fugger's family and tens of thousands of people in the municipality of the Augsburg Empire." This emissary is also a branch of the Fugger family. Trouble has no ambition, and the life of eating and waiting to die is quite easy.

Unlike his elder brothers who were wandering outside, the young man who was well-clothed and well-fed had suffered hardships that he had never imagined in his life for half a month.

Although the guards of the Fugger family protected him well along the way, the days of eating with fear, sleeping with fear, and squatting in the pit with fear were not easy.

Fortunately for him, as soon as he entered Vienna, he was cordially received by the acting cardinal of Austria.

"Please rest assured, since the Habsburg family has been elected as the Imperial Family by the Elector, we will definitely not sit back and watch the mob poison the place, and will definitely save you." The intelligence network in Austria informed him of South Germany Even before the massive peasant uprising in the Black Forest, Ladislaus knew that South Germany was already igniting a prairie fire against the old order.

In Li Di's world, an assistant to a great teacher who also ignited the fire called it "the great German peasant war".

So Ladislaus is likely to do the "brutal suppression of the righteous peasant uprising".

But it doesn't matter, Ladislaus doesn't care much about what history thinks of him.All he cares about is his ass.

Who needs a weak, hesitant brain that's always cranky when you have a steadfast ass that never doubts itself?

Long before the leader of the rebel army had decided whether to sell himself as a serf or kill the little nobles who took advantage of their illness to annex their land, Ladislaus started war preparations in the name of dealing with the Kingdom of France.

Although the military officer cultural examination has not been successfully carried out for the time being.However, several alliances have issued cloth to repair clothes and maintain weapons.

This was all done with extremely insufficient funds, and even Sazastan and Machiavelli only thought that Ladislaus was going to attack the Kingdom of France from the east with all his strength in response to His Majesty Ferdinand's grand strategy.

In fact, Ladislaus aimed at this peasant uprising that would seriously damage the original order of southern Germany. The chaos would bring the royal family a good opportunity to strengthen the centralization of power.

Ladislaus' attitude of keeping his cronies secret made His Majesty Ferdinand believe that his cousin wanted to help him. The batch of military supplies obtained from the Kingdom of Spain gave the Austrian Army a strong combat capability. Those precious It is simply impossible for Austria, which is currently building a trade center, to afford the materials.

In fact, the peasant uprising started at the end of last year.But at the beginning, no one could see the difference between this peasant uprising and other peasant uprisings in the past hundreds of years. The landless peasants could not bear the past life in the lean days, and killed the food owners desperately. Or kill the landowners who took the last bits of their plots.

Without organization and discipline, without a program and without goals, this kind of uprising will not accomplish much, although many people will be oppressed.But there is no chance in the face of an organized noble suppression army, not to mention that under normal circumstances the great nobles will support each other.

Even if a few careless or most brutal lord castles are captured, the rebel army will still be swallowed by enemies pouring in from all directions.

But this time, after the peasants conquered the castles of several bishops and earls, they unexpectedly discovered that a large number of knights and citizens also joined the uprising.

So far, the nature of this uprising has changed. It is a war of resistance against the erosion of the big princes by the small German lords. It is also an uprising of citizens and peasants demanding the most basic survival rights. However, the assistant of the great teacher did tell the most important factors of this uprising. It turns out that farmers are the core.A more determined rebel than citizens and knights.

They demanded the implementation of ancient Roman law within the territory of the Holy Roman Empire, the abolition of serfdom, and the abolition of the lord's personal restrictions on farmers and actual judicial power.

The demands of knights and townspeople began to grow after peasant uprisings challenged the rule of princes and bishops.

The professional military skills of the knights and the participation of wealthy citizens with ambition made this uprising unlike most uprisings in history, and truly threatened the rule of the princes.

The rivalry between Bane and Cyric is also a major reason for this uprising.Compared with the hereditary aristocratic territory, the residents in the territory of the bishop of Anri and the archbishop suffered even more oppression.Although these high-ranking clergy are also controlled by the great nobles, they are not hereditary after all. Every noble family occasionally has an inspirational story about the birth of a farmer in turn. Therefore, every religious lord who gets a position is desperately trying to get back what he paid as soon as possible. effort.

As for whether there were any "good" bishops who cared about the people, Ladislaus had no hope.

How do merciful and weak people gather the resources to defeat a ruthless enemy?

One of the requirements of the uprising was to establish a church of the German nation and to restore the investiture rights of the Holy Roman Empire Council.

What His Majesty Ferdinand can do with diplomatic intimidation in the Kingdom of Spain is impossible in a divided Germany.

This area is the most powerful area in Cyric, and it is absolutely impossible for the Pope to make concessions.

The impact of this request is very complicated, but it is not decisive enough. There are not many Italians who serve as religious princes in Germany. In addition, the right to appoint bishops belongs to the Imperial Diet instead of the Habsburg family, so the Habsburg family has no The determination to harness this dangerous force.

"Thank you so much. When I escaped, the army of the Rhine-Palatinate elector had been defeated by those mobs, and now they are surrounding Augsburg." Regarding the destruction of the noble army, The mood of the urban aristocratic family is very complicated.

The various branches of the Wittelsbach family have always had great ambitions for the town of du li in the Swabian region.In fact, the Elector of the Rhine-Palatinate and the Duke of Bavaria have always threatened the du li of the municipality directly under the jurisdiction of the Augsburg Empire, which is also the reason why the Fugger family and the central Habsburg family are getting closer.

However, the noble standing army was lost as the core of suppressing the uprising.The mercenaries organized by the urban aristocrats have no determination to fight in the field. Every city only wants to protect its own city walls, and has no enthusiasm for cooperating with commercial competitors.

"But the crusade against rebellion is the power of His Majesty the Emperor. I have to wait for Madrid's order before I can act." Ladislaus just deliberately brought out the shackles he wanted to get rid of, what "His Majesty's agent in Austria People" is naturally not to promote the authority of His Majesty Ferdinand, but to poach his corner.

I must go to save you, not to say to save you immediately.

"What, Vienna and Madrid are so far away and dangerous, wait for Madrid's order to come. Maybe everything will be over." Mr. Fugger was completely panicked when he was frightened. He thought that things would get better after finally escaping to Vienna. Woolen cloth.

"But the emperor is the emperor, and only the emperor has the right to punish the traitor." Ladislaus continued to insist on his nonsense and sent away Mr. Fugger who was almost jumping.

The son did not keep Ladislaus waiting for a second time to see him. Although he was rather confused, the old Fugger certainly sent a reliable person to help his nephew translate the mysterious political language.

"Your Highness, please send troops quickly. The patriarch asked me to bring one hundred thousand thaler gold coupons as military expenses." Of course, the Fugger family would not immediately say that "Vienna is the center of the Holy Roman Empire". .

Nor did Ladislaus count on a business family.Even if they are actually hosts to Augsburg, come help themselves against Spain.

He just quietly and carefully spread the seeds of "It may not be a good thing for the emperor to be in faraway Madrid.", irrigating and fertilizing, hoping that one day this seed will grow into a towering tree, so that Ladislaus can use it to climb to the clouds .

Of course, this is a very long-term thing. As far as it is concerned, Ladislaus is just trying to gain as much profit as possible for himself through this war.

Then Ladislaus sent Machiavelli to continue to squeeze the messenger.Squeeze out the true bid of the Fugger family.

In fact, this chaos did not only exist in Central Germany. Ladislaus's territory of Tyrol and Württemberg were also hardest hit by peasant uprisings.

Sarzastan has already brought [-] troops to crusade.

Although Ladislaus does not support serfdom emotionally, he does not yet have an urban handicraft industry that can absorb a large number of landless peasants, let alone make reforms due to armed uprisings, which will make enemies, allies and subordinates doubt his ability.

In the end Machiavelli received a draft of 30 talers.In fact, old Fugger didn't expect his nephew to save money when he asked his nephew to bring the money. This is not the point.

The point is once you get these drafts.Ladislaus must rescue Augsburg, and will rescue Augsburg first.

Now Rhine-Palatinate, Bavaria, and Hesse, the vassal territories and their surrounding small territories are all in a melee, but the standing force of these feudal lords is still stronger than that of commercial cities after all.

The prosperous imperial municipalities of Ulm, Nuremberg, and Augsburg were in extreme danger.

Among them, Nuremberg is the preservation place of the imperial crown, which has great political significance.

Old Fugger was not sure what kind of monarch Ladislaus was. Perhaps the archbishop thought that the location of the crown was a more important goal, and he would rather bleed a little to ensure safety.

What's more, it is said that there have also been uprisings in the electorate of Saxony and Brandenburg in the north. Although the probability is not high, what if the Austrian army goes to the north.

Now that Ladislaus has obtained the Fugger family's bills, it is necessary to rescue the Fugger family's treasury first to ensure that these bills will not become waste paper.

In any case, his plan should be regarded as a success. Although Ladislaus forcibly extracted tens of thousands of talers from the Fugger Textile Association in Vienna, in order to keep his newly acquired property, he still directly sent troops to the Augustus fort.

Theoretically, the Austrian army can pass directly through the territory of the Holy Roman Empire during rebellion and war, but this will inevitably make those princes doubt the true intentions of Ladislaus, so Ladislaus sent envoys in advance to ask for a passage I hope to somewhat reduce the hostility of the various princes towards him, although it is true that he intends to suppress these feudal monarchs.

However, this result is inevitable. If these princes are unable to protect themselves, they will inevitably be suppressed by the warlock royal family.

It's just that Ladislaus really doesn't want to save them, and would rather the small and medium lords knock these big princes to the ground, and then clean up the mess by themselves.
