Warlock Royal Family

() The City Hall of Treviso is only slightly inferior to the Royal Palace in Vienna, and the Republic of Venice deserves to be the richest country in the Mediterranean. ..

In the middle of the hall is a pure gold statue of the goddess Wojin, and her golden light is reflected everywhere in the hall.

While imagining the city of Venice, which must be better than Treviso, Ladislaus enthusiastically held the hand of the consul of Goriti.

"Goriti Consul, you are very polite. I am really sorry to ask you to come here to meet me." Ladislaus' army did not approach the city, and he entered Treviso, the most famous city in Venice, with only a few attendants. In the big city near Venice, the Consul of Goriti prepared a dinner for him here.

"Where, where, Your Royal Highness, you are busy with military affairs, and you are really polite to come to see me." The Goriti Consul was in a good mood, and Ladislaus entered the city of Venice alone, showing a lot of trust and enthusiasm. bona fide.

This is the purpose of Ladislaus, to let the Republic of Venice understand its goodwill.

It's just that the goodwill that the Republic of Venice wanted to show was more than that. Several charming and luxuriously dressed ladies were introduced to Ladislaus by the big shots of the Republic of Venice.

"It seems a pity that I can't get to know these beautiful ladies in depth. You don't know how sorry I am, but the only important things in the country are wars and sacrifices. During military operations, I can't let my subordinates doubt whether I take their lives seriously. .” Ladislaus could only express his attitude to the Goriti Consul.

"It's really extraordinary that the warlock royal family is so prosperous." Goriti Consul said a few words to his wife.Then the second half of the banquet was finally clean for Ladislaus.

What a pity, women really complement each other with jewellery.

Ladislaus never brought women with him when he led troops, not even a few powerful female combatants, which brought him a lot of prestige.

But without the beautiful troubles, the ugly troubles will not leave.

"His Royal Highness, this time you have quelled the rebellion initiated by followers of the Northern Black Hand and Lady Fire, which is a great achievement for the Church of Rome." Of course, the words of the Consul Goriti did not mean what they said on the surface, Ladislaus Si is very clear that he is Ms. Woking's spokesperson. Under such circumstances, it is natural to find an opportunity to test the Habsburg family's support for the Holy See of Cyric.

Although His Majesty's Church of Friends of the Merchant has reached a certain degree of compromise with the Dark Church.However, since the Church of the Unfortunate Maiden in Milan was destroyed, as the last non-dark faith in the Italian peninsula, it still felt that the crisis was approaching.

The Church of Woking did not dare to play tricks on the Apennine Peninsula, the stronghold of Cyrek. Although the Franco-Spanish hegemony is in full swing, the entire Apennine Peninsula is still peaceful and peaceful in terms of religion. Propagating heresy in this area, but the open ones dare not come, and the secret ones still have tricks. The financial resources of His Majesty the Friends of the Merchant actually supported Bane and Sune's actions in the north.

"The word holy in the Holy Roman Empire comes from the support of the Holy See. The empire and the church are allies who share weal and woe. To serve His Majesty Anri is to serve His Majesty the Knight of Aspirations. In particular, the French invading army still occupies Savoy When the principality threatens Milan, the royal family and the church must be more sincere and united." Ladislaus is not at all interested in the temptation of the Woking Church.At that time, as he implied, so long as the French army still threatened his domain, the conflict and contradiction with the Roman Church were secondary.

The content of Ladislaus’ words silenced the Goriti Consul. He wanted the Republic of Venice to oppose the Kingdom of France. Although the relationship between Austria and Venice is currently very good, the Republic of Venice is, after all, a scar on the territory of the Holy Roman Empire. Unlike other city-states in Italy, the Republic of Venice has never been a part of the Holy Roman Empire. This republic, which originally had only one island of Venice, has eaten away a large number of princes of the Holy Roman Empire in the past 200 years, although the imperial center has long been out of control Italian princes.But for the Habsburg family, which aims to rejuvenate the empire, this is still a legal problem.

It is precisely for this reason that the Republic of Venice often forms an alliance with the Kingdom of France against the Habsburg family. Although the Eastern Ottoman Empire can also suppress the Habsburg family, those pagans are not only different in belief, but also After taking Constantinople and changing its name to Istanbul, a powerful navy was established based on it to compete for trade wealth in the Eastern Mediterranean through the Republic of Venice. The good economic relations before the destruction of the Byzantine Empire were deteriorating, including Venetian merchants and Europeans, including Ligurian traders, were being slowly but surely driven out of the Black Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean.

The Kingdom of France is most effective for the Republic of Venice.League of least conflict.

It is absolutely impossible for Ladislaus to exchange support for the Church of Woking against Cyric in exchange for the Republic of Venice against the Kingdom of France.

Although the goodwill work of Ladislaus is quite effective, the Venetians still have a basic sense of strategy. Although the principle of "distanced friendship and close attack" has not been written down, it has always been the policy of all European countries.

"The Republic of Venice is willing to mediate the conflict between His Majesty the Holy Roman Emperor and His Majesty the King of France." The abundant financial resources and powerful navy of the Republic of Venice make it barely a second-class power close to the two giants of Spain and France.If the Consul of Goriti is successful, it will not only demonstrate the influence of the Republic of Venice, but also divert the attention of the European powers to the Ottoman Empire.

"World peace and people's well-being are the eternal pursuit of the Habsburg family. It would be great if His Highness the Consul is willing to mediate." Ladislaus did not have much hope for this matter. From the Duke of Pond and some other French nobles in exile, Ladislaus learned about the image of a rather arrogant and conceited François I.

Moreover, the exiled nobles headed by the Duke of Bourbon also made it difficult to carry out the peace talks. If they were completely betrayed, the prestige of the Habsburg Empire would be greatly damaged, and supporting their rights was unacceptable to the King of France.

In fact, after the rebellion was aroused, in order to control the situation, the King of France made certain concessions to the Bourbon branch. He had given the title of "Duke of Bourbon" to the young branch of the Bourbon family, and returned most of the territory to the Bourbon branch. Several different heirs, he himself only got a small piece, which is why the Duke of Bourbon did not enjoy widespread support.

But for Ladislaus, there is no harm in letting the Republic of Venice mediate.

Before and after he took office, Austria used troops year after year, which put too much pressure on the economy.

"That's really great. I will send the most capable diplomats to assist you. At the same time, I will also pray to His Majesty, the friend of the merchants, for peace and the prosperity brought by peace in the day and night of Venice." Glad, Ladislaus agreed in front of many congressmen and gave him a lot of face.

"There is one more thing. I have received the great support of the Republic of Venice for my dispatch of troops this time, so I am a little rich in transportation capacity, and I happen to have something to give to His Highness Goriti...... ..."
