Warlock Royal Family

() When Boss Silica, who returned from overnight investigation, returned to the camp, he found that Sherlock, who was in charge of contacting the Fugger family, was also with Ladislaus.Access to download txt novels..

The two of them nodded slightly in silence. As Ladislaus' cronies who were the first to be knighted and had no conflict of interest, there was some sympathy between them.

But in front of the monarch, they don't and don't need to show such emotions.

Boss Silica knelt in front of Ladislaus on one knee, and then reported: "As His Royal Highness expected, the Medici family's black belt mercenary squadron is in Munich. There are undoubtedly nearly ten thousand soldiers in the city. Most of them are small and medium-sized soldiers. Most of the mercenary group should be from Italy."

"Is that really the case? I said why are you so rich and powerful? It turns out that you have really caught up with His Majesty the Pope." Ladislaus nodded. I don't know how many good men and women sent their property into the cellar of the Pope. There are also extinct nobles who are generally unable to resist if they are willing to hand over their property to the Roman Church.

The millennium hoard of the Church of Rome is not a fake. Once the Church of Rome is determined to fight back, then as long as the problem can be solved with money, it will not be a problem.

It seems that the Duke of Bavaria of the Wittelsbach family is the real choice of the Medici to choose the Pope.

"According to Fugger, Rome mobilized a huge amount of funds this time, even exceeding the load range of the Medici Bank, and several Medici treasurers in South Germany borrowed a large amount of positions from the Fugger Textile Association. "Syrlock's intelligence also confirmed that Medici's chosen Pope has begun to counter the Holy Roman Empire's intensified religious reform.

Ladislaus knows that it is different from the close relationship between financial institutions in the future. In this era, it is not so common to borrow cash through peers, and there are only a few cooperations between several giants.

After all, before the complex derivative financial system was developed, the relationship between these giant financial institutions was closer to a zero-sum relationship.

"Based on the flow of funds we have already grasped, the funds imported from Rome to Munich in the past three months may have exceeded 200 million talers!" The figure spit out from Sherlock's mouth is fascinating.

"And those mercenary groups from Italy don't have much intention of keeping secrets." Boss Silica is very aware that his status is closely related to the power of Ladislaus. He did not choose the common routine of making the mission difficult, but It is to provide as much information as possible so that Ladislaus can accurately judge the situation, "In fact, I did not lose a single subordinate during the investigation last night. The entire city of Munich is not on alert. The Duke of Bavaria and the Dark Ri Church are both No attempt to keep it a secret."

"It's impossible to keep it a secret. The Duke of Bavaria didn't say it directly in a hurry, which is considered a good cultivation." In Sazastan's view, the Duke of Bavaria's performance yesterday was not bad. "Sooner or later, there are so many Italian-speaking soldiers and prominent mercenary captains from Italian aristocratic families."

"We must not support the Duke of Bavaria to reunite the various branches of the Wittelsbach family, and no new challengers will be allowed within the Holy Roman Empire." Ladislaus once again emphasized his basic policy. "Although the Church of Darkness in Rome is fighting against the Church of His Majesty Blackhand, the choice of the Pope to support the Duke of Bavaria shows that the Church of Rome is still opposed to the unity and prosperity of the Holy Roman Empire, and is the enemy of our Habsburg family. "

These discussions finally returned to the core of the problem, and several subordinates finally focused their attention on Ladislaus.Waiting for their sovereign to make the final proclamation.

Ladislaus' next words showed that he was indeed superior to his subordinates: "However, the Roman Church is also not interested in the fate of the Wittelsbach family. For His Majesty the Pope, the primary goal is to strike at Leipzig. The Black Hand Church, the secondary goal is to prevent a unified and powerful Holy Roman Empire. Although a powerful Duchy of Bavaria is indeed a big trouble for Austria and me, it has no access to the sea for the mighty Spain. There are only two What counts as a principality with a population of one million?"

This is the first time that Ladislaus pointed out bluntly in front of his subjects that Vienna and Madrid are not one. Although they are indeed close alliances, they are not one.

Although he has always carried out independent policies in the past, he has never publicly stated that Spain and Austria, the two components of the "Habsburg Empire", have their own different geostrategies.

"The strength of Bavaria is a major geographical blow to Austria, but it is only a small matter to Spain. If it can defeat France, then Bavaria will not have any chance." Sazastan was the first to understand that Lardy Slaughter means. "So His Majesty the Pope will not specifically support the appeal of the Duke of Bavaria. His Majesty Medici is one of the wisest and most dedicated figures in the world today. He is very clear about his needs, so he must first strike at the dark ri Church-based Saxon electorate."

Ladislaus and Sarzastan realized that although the Roman Church supported the Principality of Bavaria, they had more individual demands than Spain and Austria.

Shylock's thoughts became clear: "Perhaps the Holy See is not opposed to expanding the interests of the Duke of Bavaria while attacking the sphere of influence of the Mafia, but it will also not support it. The Duke of Bavaria has already received his own reward."

"That's right, 200 million talers." Boss Sirika can only get a few hundred talers in spoils by destroying a gang of river robbers. When he cracked the smuggling network, he could get tens of thousands of talers. .

"The key is how to suppress the requirements of the Duke of Bavaria while satisfying the requirements of the true pope." Ladislaus agrees with the strangling of the Dark Ri Church and the Black Hand Church.

"It's not troublesome. Just forcing the Elector of the Rhine-Palatinate to publicly deny that he is a believer in the Black Hand, and to remain neutral in our war against Wuerzburg will make both sides have nothing to say. It's just not I know whether the elector will agree." Sarzastan quickly came up with a solution.

"During the last election for the throne, the performance of His Royal Highness the Elector showed that he is not a person who dares to take the lead. The Elector of the Mainz religion also belonged to his son, and he has no determination to break with the Roman Church. Yes, he will definitely accept this condition." Ladislaus is very confident about this, "It's just that we may have some troubles if we want to swallow the Wuerzburg area, and the Duke of Bavaria will definitely make trouble for us."

Ladislaus and Sarzastan looked at each other, and there was another worry that they didn't say out loud, that is, if Cyric gained too much advantage over Bane, he would definitely turn his attention back to the one that caused him great harm. On the bodies of Cuscus and Barbaros.

For the Saxony elector who ignored Zhong Yang, the crime against the emperor seemed to be too severe to punish.
