Warlock Royal Family

() met with Colonel Li Anye, and said some nonsense such as: "Germany and France are united, coexistence and common prosperity.", "Western France is friendly, Europe is peaceful, "The Great European Jihad requires you and me to work together", Ladis Rouse sent this nearly 2000 reinforcements to the Principality of Savoy, where there is a Spanish rearguard force. How to use this force is a matter for the Marquis of Pescara and the Duke of Bourbon.

This time Ladislaus did not ask for anything in return. He knew that bilateral relations must be maintained by both parties. Austria has long enjoyed the benefits of Spain, and occasionally needs to give certain conveniences without harming its own interests. Otherwise, even if the monarchy If there is a family relationship, the great nobles of various countries must also be dissatisfied.

Only when the common royal family can provide certain benefits to all countries, the great nobles will support the monarch who has several laurels at the same time from the bottom of their hearts.

In fact, Austria does not only support Spain in the military. In addition to the convenience that Venetian businessmen can get in the port of Trieste, Spanish businessmen can even get more convenience in Austria.

Austria and Spain are not in a zero-sum competitive relationship, but close allies with a common enemy in the military and a certain complementarity in the economy.

So when Ladislaus led the army back to Vienna, letters of thanks from His Majesty Ferdinand and the Duke of Bourbon also arrived.

Couriers are always much faster than armies.

Although His Majesty Ferdinand regretted that Ladislaus did not continue to march into the French mainland, after all, he still "violently attacked Liguria, a servant country of the Kingdom of France, although he paid heavy casualties and caused heavy damage to the enemy. Then he did not break the city." , but gave the enemy a great deterrent and successfully instigated a large number of French uprisings, which strongly supported the great cause and just demands of His Majesty the Emperor and the Duke of Bourbon.”

I have to say that Machiavelli's diplomatic documents are really brilliant, but this is his old line, and diplomatic documents are not much different from those comedy scripts.

So His Majesty Ferdinand also gave a return, "My dearest brother Ladislaus, you can handle German affairs according to your own intentions, as long as you don't openly break with His Majesty's church."

This tacitly allowed Ladislaus to act in the name of the emperor in Germany.

However, Ladislaus did not send troops again immediately. Although he really wanted to expand his territory in central Germany, he had to inspect the construction site of Wiener Neustadt before that.

The progress of the project varies from place to place.Because the resources are only barely enough, most of the North City has just taken shape.

And because there is nothing to protect, the city wall is only slowly being built.

Although King Hunyadi, who overthrew Ladislaus's grandfather of the same name 30 years ago and later took control of the Kingdom of Hungary, once surrounded and conquered Vienna, the powerful Hungarian Kingdom collapsed quickly after his death, and heir In order to obtain the recognition of their throne by the Habsburg family, which already owned the Netherlands at that time, the Aglonians returned all the Austrian territories captured by the Hunyadi kings.

Moreover, the royal power and prestige of the Aglonian royal family, which won the throne because of the support of the great Hungarian nobles, are very limited, which was clearly shown in the last election of the Holy Roman Empire.

The ministers in Ladislaus came to the present-day Kingdom of Hungary due to internal and external troubles, obviously unable to threaten Vienna.So it is not a problem to build the city wall slowly.

"The Hungarian king is mediocre and has no clear strategy." After a thorough analysis of King Louis II's actions in the last Holy Roman Empire election.Sazastan commented on the contemporary King of Hungary and his country in this way. "His subordinates are selected based on birth rather than talent. In fact, I doubt whether His Majesty the King of Hungary has the minimum eyes and ears to judge the situation. It is very likely that he has been completely controlled by interest groups."

In fact, Machiavelli even made harsh comments in private, but considering that the King of Hungary can actually be regarded as Ladislaus' brother-in-law, they both slept in the same bed with the Spanish princess, so the worse words did not spread to Ladislaus. Dislaus' ears.

Speaking of which, Princess Katharina is still not very satisfied with the concession made by Miss Harna, but this time she did not mention it in bed. After all, she cares more about the relationship between Spain and Austria. Her Majesty Ferdinand gives her so much money every year. There is a lot of money, even brothers and sisters are very strong friendship.It's not good for my younger sister to take so much money from my brother for nothing. This time Ladislaus made His Majesty Ferdinand very satisfied and naturally mentioned it in the sibling correspondence, so Ladislaus enjoyed a little tenderness, so he naturally also Reciprocate with the same tenderness. Of course, it is more flattering for a woman not to complain and not toss. The relationship between the two Habsburgs has warmed up just like the relationship between Austria and Spain.

However, Ladislaus still needs to care about the defense of Vienna. He knows that the real threat is not the Kingdom of Hungary but the giants of the East.No matter how prosperous a city is, it is meaningless if it cannot be effectively protected, but he also knows that there must be trade-offs when funds are insufficient.

Machiavelli did the right thing by concentrating limited resources on those parts that could yield returns, allowing these returns to support further construction.Compared with other parts, the warehouses and docks built along the Danube are progressing the fastest, and some parts have already begun to open, Ladislaus

With the sun on his head, he inspected the project he insisted on. Although it was hot, he was in a good mood.

Ladislaus was dressed in casual clothes, and only brought three guards, Mr. Frenzberg, Boss Sirica, and Pastor Odd Kessler, and Margarita, the matron. The private visit in the micro-service was "protecting the country" Protection is nothing to worry about.

Responsible for the defense of the area was the Austrian River Defense Corps, a name given by Machiavelli, who believed that by emphasizing defensive purposes, the enemy's attention would be lessened.

As far as the river defense army is concerned, not to mention the warships suitable for the Danube, even the docks for building these warships have not yet been completed, so these river defense army soldiers have no way to train professional skills. Under Machiavelli's arrangement, they will first play The role of a little guard infantry.

Anyway, the camp of the river defense army is not far from the place where the Vienna River runs through the city and joins the Danube. Jevic led his troops to fortify here.In order to promote economic development, Ladislaus stipulated that after the business traveler paid a tax after entering the city, no tax was collected in the city of Vienna, so this is not a tax card. In fact, the sailors hardly check pedestrians. In Ladislaus This kind of aimless search is of no value except to give the person who handles it a chance to accept bribes. However, after the sea arrest document is clearly issued, criminals or spies can also be intercepted here.

The whole function of this level is to show the rule of Austria, and in fact it is the inner water gate of the city of Vienna, which plays a certain defensive role.

After observing for about ten minutes, Ladislaus was satisfied that the sailors stood upright there, except for Jevic who occasionally checked one or two people who seemed nervous.Basically did not disturb any passing pedestrians.

As a foreigner with no roots in Austria, Jevich didn't dare to make money. As a member of the Moscow royal family, he had greater ambitions than money, so he just followed Machiavelli's orders to arrest criminals here honestly. Show presence.

Although there are no boats to train on, and occasionally he has to help move bricks, but Jevich still tries to hold Machiavelli's thigh tightly and respond to his requests.

Ladislaus didn't know the details of Jevich's political investment, but where there are people, there are factions, even if Ladislaus knew it, it wouldn't be surprising.

In order to achieve the purpose of surprise inspection.He waited patiently to pass through the camp until around noon, when Jevich and his kin left to eat.

A few soldiers of the river defense army were left in rotation.The performance is still quite good. During the absence of Yevic, he also honestly did not cause any trouble to passers-by. However, after Yevic left, the soldiers stood somewhat less straight, but this is of course human. Overall Ladislaus is quite satisfied with this part.

After arriving at the wharf area through the river defense checkpoint, Ladislaus was somewhat disappointed. Although there were many ships moored, there were not many transactions going on in the market with a pergola.

Out of the idea of ​​Ladislaus.Boss Silica said: "My lord, don't be disappointed. After all, the Yanhe market is a start-up and it will take time to accumulate popularity. There are not many retailers at present, but the bulk distribution trade is still going well."

The Boss Sirica organization destroyed the smuggling channels that hindered normal trade, and still has a certain understanding of commerce.

"Oh? Where are those big businessmen doing business?" Ladislaus was very interested in this.

"The crimson building along the river is the church of His Majesty the Knights of Great Wishes. Next to the church is a clubhouse dedicated to serving big businessmen." Pastor Odd Kessler recommended quite excitedly. This is his church in Baba One of the great achievements of the Church of Rosa. "Today is the first week in July. It is the time when the monthly trade exchange meeting is held. I think it is worth your visit."

"Then let's go." This time it was an impromptu inspection by Ladislaus, so although he understood that Odd Kessler was trying to promote the ability of his church, it didn't matter, because this kind of real surprise inspection is very important. A test of organizational skills.What you get can be regarded as the real situation.

And with the boss of Silica following, Ladislaus does not think that Odd Kessler has the ability to tip off.

After walking for half an hour along the Danube, Ladislaus and the others arrived at the church.

From the architectural style and layout, it is obviously the property of the Church of Barbarossa, and it was not merged with the church just to take care of the scruples of believers of other gods.

Today is Sunday. Although there are not many residents nearby, there are still many Viennese citizens who come to Barbarossa's church for a blind date. Most of them are parents. Information such as education and upbringing are written on white silk and hung on a wall of the church. If someone glances at the information about their children, they will chat and communicate.

This is Barbarossa's main priesthood and source of income, and there is a fee for posting information on it.

Since it was Barbarossa's church, Pastor Kessler naturally had a way to enter. Ladislaus and his party entered the clubhouse next to the church smoothly. Ladislaus and the others directly entered the business club through a small path. .

As Barbarossa's senior pastor, Reverend Odd Kessler arranged a VIP room for Ladislaus and his party quite smoothly. (to be continued...)
