Warlock Royal Family

() The roads in the Republic of Venice are being repaired, not just to receive the stone lions from Austria. In fact, although the Republic of Venice is founded by sea, it has always attached great importance to the repair and maintenance of national roads, because it is a prosperous trade. Cornerstone.High-speed update..

Thanks to this excellent road, the Austrian army passed through the territory of the Republic of Venice quite quickly. Along the way, they also received labor supplies from the Marquis of Mantua and the Principality of Ferrara. Because of the tragic fate of the Sforza family, these small The feudal monarchies were firmly opposed to the king's strategy in northern Italy.

However, most of the Anri bishops and abbots remained neutral. Although these religious lords met the cardinal in accordance with the etiquette, they basically had no supplies to provide. Although Cyric's hostility towards the Habsburg family was limited, it was still there. Does exist.

The ambiguous attitude of Ladislaus in dealing with the peasant uprising was also obvious, and he did not express any obvious dislike for the ever-spreading Bane forces in the German region.

Therefore, these grassroots leaders of Cyric naturally have limited affection for Ladislaus, who is nominally a member of the Cardinals and actually does not know what relationship he has with the Cardinals.

However, they are still very satisfied with the goods brought by Ladislaus. This time, Ladislaus's marching route is in a relatively wealthy and friendly territory, so the supplies are relatively sufficient.

Naturally, the surplus capacity cannot be wasted. Ladislaus brought millions of catties of rock salt from Salzburg. The gift to the Goriti consul was this kind of rock salt. There were plenty of personal gifts and Austria Efforts to reduce tariffs.The Consul of Goriti decided to open his eyes and close his eyes to the large entrainment this time. Of course, the shipment of Ladislaus in the Republic of Venice was also very restrained.

Salzburg's rock salt has not entered northern Italy for a long time, and this time it was not taxed by the tax card along the way, so the market responded extremely enthusiastically.

Except for some rock salt donated to the dignitaries of the Republic of Venice, Ladislaus basically did not sell his own rock salt in the Republic of Venice. Exempting customs duties and selling goods at the border will inevitably make the competitors of the Republic of Venice oppose other plans for the Austrian army to continue to transit through the border and even threaten Ladislaus.

So this time, Ladislaus brought most of the rock salt to Mantua and Parma before selling it. This sum made Ladislaus almost 1 to [-] talers, and some fragmentary products such as those produced in Wine from Vienna and copper bars from Tyrol also earned more than [-] thalers.

In short.Ladislaus made a fortune before the battle started, which is the downside of giving foreign troops the right of way, Venice loses a lot of tariffs and allows competitors' goods to enter its traditional trade zone.

However, Ladislaus's corruption of the Venetian executives is still very effective. In addition to the inevitable deterioration of the relationship with the sea salt landowners and related parliamentarians, other Venetian parliamentarians still like this rather friendly Austrian monarch. , Besides, are they really poor?

This time, the French army started from the mainland instead of Savoy, so the Spanish intelligence agency was able to provide timely information, allowing the Marquis of Pescara's army to set off from Naples in time and then enter the Milan area through the Church of Rome and other small countries.

According to the latest news.This time, the Savoy family, the rulers of the Principality of Savoy, did not serve the French army as honestly as in the past, although the Queen Mother of France who sacrificed herself to make her son come from the Savoy family was also the aunt of the contemporary Duke.But after all, the Duke has to consider the issue from the overall interests of his family.

This time, because of the delay in supply, the French army was blocked by the Spanish army in the Secia River before they had time to go deep.

Little princes from all walks of life led troops to support.

But Ladislaus is not in a hurry, and he is not one of those outsiders who needs to show his loyalty to the Habsburg family and worry about being punished later, so he still does business along the way to make money, while purchasing mules and horses to strengthen his own strength.

In fact, Ladislaus bought up every pack animal available along the way to improve his logistics.

He even set up a special transport team, with Kessell-Weiting as the captain of the transport team.

Kessell Witting was promoted to a level of Alliance Captain, while Old John was transferred back to the center.Take over Kessell-Witting's cavalry.

Ladislaus was carefully moving personnel to nationalize the Austrian army, and Kessell-Witting was aware of this, but Ladislaus allowed him to take more than half of the officers and more than two hundred soldiers to New Zealand. Moreover, according to the plan, this logistics unit established a dedicated transport team with nearly a thousand people, so Kessell-Weiting accepted the exchange with a good mood.

He was an example and a prelude to Ladislaus' subsequent swapping of wing captains and promotions to other positions.

Old John brought more than a hundred newly recruited soldiers and a small number of horses from Friuli, as he took over the cavalry team.

"A total of 150 and three people. They are all soldiers from innocent families in Friuli. They were recruited according to the military service roster, not recruited." Old John was very happy from the moment he took the recruits with him, and he knew that this was Ladislau S recalls his own precursors.

In addition to fighting the remnants of the Republic of Venice in the Friuli area, Ladislaus asked him to register the population and recruit troops according to the roster.Only by recruiting good families and instilling loyalty and discipline can a true elite be formed, and only second-rate troops can only be formed by recruiting desperate people. This is Ladislaus' belief.

Compared with the various obstructions in Austria, the work of the newly occupied Friuli and Milan regions has progressed faster. In consideration of national balance, Ladislaus did not urge the Austrian bureaucrats.

But sooner or later they will understand that delaying and obstructing the conscription process will ultimately harm their political interests, and force has always been the source of power.

"You have to pay attention to the conflict between German-speaking soldiers and Italian-speaking soldiers, adjudicate their conflicts fairly, and arrange their promotion fairly." Ladislaus attaches great importance to ethnic conflicts brought about by language and culture, He tried to mix soldiers from different regions to avoid strong nationalist groups, but this required each regiment and company director to be constantly aware of the internal discipline and fairness of his unit.Ladislaus has done such a face-to-face instruction for every middle and senior military officer who takes office. "But don't think that one side is weak and tilted. Only the purest fairness is the long-term solution."

"Please rest assured, I will definitely regard all soldiers as soldiers of the Holy Roman Empire, soldiers of the warlock royal family." But although the set of fair treatment is effective at the grassroots level, it is not so clear when it comes to the superstructure. This is also the reason why no wise and fair monarch and loyal and capable courtiers can fight against nationalism. Old John's Italian identity itself is a consumption of Ladislaus' political resources.

"The cavalry unit is relatively mobile. At present, the horse feed and other supplies are sufficient. You just happened to go to the Milan area to do some clearance work. The stragglers there are not small." Ladislaus must use up the resources before giving up. Anyway, the roads and supplies here allow the cavalry to consume a little horsepower for secondary tasks.
