Warlock Royal Family

() On May 1524, 5, Ladislaus returned to Vienna with the Austrian army, and finally managed to stabilize his territory before the busy farming season, so as not to delay the important autumn harvest.

Compared with the great peasant war in Li Di's world that killed more than [-] people and displaced nearly a million people, this battle cannot be called great in any case.

Although some religious territories in West Germany and Central Germany are still in chaos, the major powers of the Holy Roman Empire have basically pacified their interior and began to take advantage of the chaos to encroach on their weak neighbors.

It's a pity that Barbarossa is still too weak compared to Bane, and there is no mature and powerful priest team that can carry out evangelistic activities to fill the faith vacuum left by Cyric's decline.

But Austria is more than enough to fill a lot of power vacuums.

The Habsburg family still owns the imperial crown, so the two major electors in the north want to legally swallow their territory. After all, they have to share some benefits. Although they have grown a lot, they are still far from challenging the rules of the game. very.

In the rules of the Holy Roman Empire, of the two sources of orthodoxy, the Warlock Royal Family and the Holy See, one must be recognized before "occupation" can become "annexation".

Most of what they embezzled were the archbishops and dioceses of Anri, and it was impossible to get the recognition of the Holy See. They could only find a way to get the recognition of the warlock royal family. In order to get this recognition, they must ask Madrid and Vienna.

So for Ladislaus, how to get as much benefit as possible from His Majesty Ferdinand and get as little resentment as possible from the Holy See.That's his next major job.

Fortunately, the Austrian economy has not suffered much damage. The silver mines in Tyrol and the salt mines in Salzburg are operating normally and have not been destroyed by the rebels. The royalists from the north did not even lose their population.

However, this small-scale military operation still exhausted Austria's limited resources. Although the construction site in the new city is still in full swing, according to Machiavelli's report, the current cash flow has been stretched to the limit, and Austria has no way to deal with it. The capacity for any emergencies is gone. As a country, Austria is already operating at full capacity, and this not-so-powerful machine is already creaking.

But France and Spain, the two sophisticated and powerful machines, don't care about the state of Austria. Their battle for hegemony will test the state machine with the highest intensity.

As the core component of the Austrian machine, Ladislaus naturally has to undergo severe tests.Before he returned to Vienna, he had not had time to deal with the conflict between the two ladies over the monopoly of liquor, and was directly dragged by Machiavelli to meet the Spanish ambassador at the gate of the city.

Originally, the Habsburg family's east-west offensive against France failed to launch due to various reasons, but the Kingdom of France quickly recovered its offensive capabilities. After the harassment, the French army launched another attack on the territory of the Habsburg family.

The French army did not vigorously attack the central part where the rebel army was still active. Although the rebel army there did not rebel against His Majesty Francois, the direct support of the peasant uprising would still make all the French nobles feel dangerous, so let them continue to torment themselves Enough.

Only a partial division of less than [-] people launched an attack on Franche-Condé and Alsace. The main goal of the Kingdom of France is still the rich Po River Plain.

This time, the Kingdom of France was unable to send two overwhelmingly superior troops at the same time.However, it is still in an absolute dominant position in the main direction of attack.

The French army once again assembled in the Duchy of Savoy to threaten Milan, although the Spanish army had moved north to support.But since Ladislaus got Milan, he must defend his territory.

According to the request of the Spanish ambassador, this time the Austrian army can go to Milan from the road of Schwyz, and in any case, 5000 people must be sent to support the Spanish army.

Of course, this request is not too much. The French army marching eastward is close to [-], and the Spanish army marching northward to meet it exceeds [-]. As long as Austria sends [-] troops, His Majesty Ferdinand and the Spanish ministers have fully considered Austria's national strength.

It's a reasonable request, and one that would hammer all of Ladislaus' efforts.

Once the project stops, countless workers will be disbanded, and many half-used building materials can only be sold at a low price, not to mention the blow to Ladislaus' prestige.

Although his state council unanimously agreed to his plan at the time.But those bigwigs must be skeptical that the young monarch can't wait to carry out big projects as soon as he comes to power.

At the emergency state council held again, everyone remained silent, waiting for their sovereign to make a decision.

Ladislaus did not show any anxiety or irritability, which surprised his close subordinates a little. The young monarch is at least quite capable.

But the people who really want to see his jokes are the Cyric priests who were kicked out of the State Council by him. If the city wall construction site in Vienna is really shut down, Ladislaus will definitely become the story of many Cyric priests' weekend mass protagonist.But the name may have to be changed slightly, let alone the surname Habsburg.

It is said that some pious and good priests who will never gloat have arranged many different versions of the story.

Although the stories are different, the protagonists of the stories have some common characteristics.

They would tell at Mass and in their sermons the story of some over-achiever, overconfident young man who lived in absurd luxury and ruined his ancestors' fortunes, and of course he would be taught a lesson in the end.And converted to the most majestic and magnanimous His Majesty Anri, of course, the final outcome of this story has not been determined. If the young people are still obsessed with it, then it is inevitable that they will be abandoned by the omnipotent His Majesty Anri, and the final scene will be bleak.

Of course, Ladislaus did not want or allow his majesty and dominance to be damaged by those priests. As early as the construction of Vienna Neustadt, he restarted a task that he had stopped before getting the throne of the Austrian monarch.

Ladislaus and Machiavelli exchanged glances, and again received a confirmation response.

Then Ladislaus said to Machiavelli: "Your Excellency the Treasurer, please introduce President Angelo to the Austrian State Council."

The president of the Machiavelli Bank, Angelo Machiavelli, has never seen a big man, even if it is His Majesty the Pope.

But he had never been so excited as today, this time he entered a hall of power not purely as an insignificant visitor, but to participate in a real meeting.
