Warlock Royal Family

() On March 1524, 3, as the Habsburg double-headed eagle was hung on the Archbishop's Palace in Salzburg, the Austrian army completely quelled the Salzburg rebellion, with minimal casualties and huge gains.

Although this uprising basically destroyed the city of Salzburg with thousands of people and greatly damaged the economy of the province of Salzburg. It will take several years for the province to recover, but Ladislaus is still very satisfied.

The original order was destroyed, and the new ruler could justifiably intervene.

Machiavelli in Vienna could have received about 15 talers in cash by auctioning off the salt mining rights, and an equal amount of spoils had already been shipped to Vienna.

It is a pity that the Salzhe does not belong to the Danube water system, but is part of the Rhine water system.

If the building materials are transported by land, the cost is too high and it is not worth it. Otherwise, he has the heart to demolish the Salzburg Castle to provide building materials for Vienna Neustadt. Anyway, a Salz Archbishop's Palace is enough to serve as the core of the new town.

In fact, the investment in the canal connecting the Salz River and the Danube River can also be regarded as part of the hypothetical cost of the trade center. The system released the "canal" task, but the canal needs to dig too many mountain passes, which makes Ladislaus feel that the gain is not worth the loss.

However, more than [-] slave laborers are also excellent labor force, which is very valuable for reducing the construction cost of the trade center.

It is said that the hundreds of peasants guarding the Archbishop's Palace, after a melee with a considerable number of miners, were pardoned to continue to be their serfs rather than outright slaves, although the difference was very limited.

Casualties were light on both sides, and Odd Kessler persuaded Reverend Najib Thompson to surrender.Although Priest Sune also participated in the meeting and immediately launched a counterattack, it could not prevent the castle gate from being opened.

Cassano Cavaliers led the army and rushed in after the gate was opened.The fight is over.

In Odd Kessler's words, Sune and Bane, the two priests of the gods, are mixed together, which is the best way to deal with it.

Zi you's undisciplined fire-haired lady and the black-handed tyrant who pay attention to dignity and inferiority, even if there is a threat from the Austrian army outside, they will still fight endlessly inside. Rigid rules and ruthless punishments make for a combative organization.

Pastor Suni here is a member of the sect of "Long Live Free Love", especially emphasizing that a happy life comes from free life. As early as the Austrian army who besieged Salzburg together, they began to try to infiltrate the miners' organization.Wanted to free these unfortunate miners from the slavery of their cruel boss.

This kind of infiltration is something that Pastor Fire-haired Lady is very good at. It has been tried and tested repeatedly against the Church of Cyric. Not only many oppressed farmers, but also many low-level priests and officials are quite dissatisfied with the shameless depravity of the senior priest of Cyric.

It was the constant activities of Pastor Suni that completely corrupted and collapsed the local Cyric Church, and then further attacked the government.

However, this routine of action is not very effective against Bane believers who are known for their strict organization. Although many oppressed believers have indeed wavered, the oppression of bottom-level miners is even worse than that of Cyric priests and officials. Farmers are even bigger.

However, although Najib Thompson is only a low-level priest.But it was quite prestigious, and many miners had no doubt that those "stupid" priests of Sune could not be his opponents, so they informed him.

Those miners who wavered or even defected were severely punished. Although they were not executed because of the efforts of Pastor Suni, they only had half their lives after a hundred lashes.

In addition to the conflict of beliefs, there are also great contradictions accumulated over the competition for water and food.

The Archbishop's Palace has long been Sune's local base.The later miners basically fled inside with nothing. Although "Zi You Long Live Love" distributed some supplies to the miners in order to jointly fight against the enemy, the conflicts caused by the insufficient supplies still accumulated.

Even if Odd Kessler didn't persuade them to surrender, sooner or later they would kill each other.

The instigation of the Grand Wishing Knight Priest only pointed out a clear fact.Odd Kessler did not engage in the bargaining that Pastor Sune imagined, but directly offered extremely harsh conditions.

But it was this harsh proposal that only guaranteed one-tenth of the leader's private property and the freedom of life of his subordinates immediately received a very positive response from Najib Thompson.

After getting Odd Kessler's promise to keep the ownership of a small salt mine.Najib-Thompson didn't hesitate to attack the former ally.

In fact, the black-handed priest had already planned for an annexation. Almost at the order of the leader, the miners at all levels violently attacked their targets according to the long-established plan.

Najee Thompson and Odd Kessler raided the gate with the elite squad and lowered the drawbridge.

"Thanks to Pastor Thompson's understanding of the general situation and reason. Naturally, there will be no suspenseful mopping up battle, without causing too many casualties, and there is no risk." Odd Kessler summed up the situation flatly. battle, and quite firmly rejected Ladislaus's reward. "I really don't have any special credit. Please don't give me another reward. Being able to serve the Grand Wish Knight is the best reward I can get."

Ladislaus was quite satisfied. Although the other party's narration process has always been very natural, as if it was really a trivial matter, but no matter how ordinary and natural things are on the battlefield, there are many variables.

Odd Kessler is worthy of being the priest of the Knight of Great Wishes, and he is truly one of his own, which probably means that the Knights of Great Wishes will reward him.

But another pastor was not so calm. Najib Thompson was a tall and pale man who was constantly confessing his mistakes in front of Ladislaus.

"Pastor Thompson, I am very pleased that you were able to repent of your past sins at the last moment. According to Pastor Kessler's promise, your family's property can be kept and you can still keep one-tenth of your salt mine. , but in view of your performance, I think it is not impossible to continue to let you own more shares."

Ladislaus was impressed by Pastor Bane's organizational ability, not only Odd Kessler, but even Cassano Cavaliers were full of praise for the discipline of the miners.

"Your Majesty the Grand Wish Knight is magnanimous, and the warlock royal family is also eager for talents." Pastor Odd Kessler is also very interested in a priest who instigated a black hand.

"I am really ashamed of the great love of His Majesty the Knight and the Archbishop, but His Majesty the Black Hand has treated me with such kindness as the ocean. I have no other wish but to serve Him with all my strength. I only ask to be able to take away the treasures that belonged to our family. property and redeem one-tenth of the shares."

Ladislaus thought that the other party would definitely surrender, but he didn't expect that after a fierce ideological struggle, although he was under a lot of sweat and his face was pale to the extreme, Pastor Thompson actually refused the solicitation of the warlock royal family.

"That's as you wish." Ladislaus waved his hand, indicating that the other party can leave.

Ladislaus looked at Thompson who left, and fell into deep thought. The experience of the Elector of Saxony being severely injured by him in the election made him underestimate the opponent's backstage, but today he reconfirmed the organizational nature of the Bann Church And discipline, it is indeed not a fluke that Bane can compete with Cyric so much, and he has been defeated many times without dying.
