Chapter 307 Benefits of Nuremberg

() Nuremberg in late autumn was full of distress. Although it escaped the peasant uprising, this time the follow-up princes' war was never so lucky.

On October 1524, 10, when the combined Austrian and Bavarian armies arrived at Nuremberg, they found that most of the city had been destroyed. Judging by the purple skull flag on the city wall that symbolized Cyric's authority, it seemed that the Saxon army had already left. went.

But Ladislaus knew the city's troubles were not over.

"Support Cyric followers to control Nuremberg."

"Support the Sune followers to control Nuremberg."

These two are completely different. Anyone who tells the current situation of the city of Ladislaus is that new contradictions have surfaced as the powerful enemy has left.

The envoys of the two churches also came to the door quickly, each requesting Ladislaus' support.

As far as Ladislaus's heart is concerned, he naturally wants to support the Sune Church. After all, Cyric is so powerful that he is a big stone on the way forward for the Habsburg family. The corner can be dug once. The strength can be reduced a little bit.

But this time, in addition to the Austrian army, there is also the Bavarian army that has formed a close alliance with the Roman Church. If Ladislaus does not want to break with the Duke of Bavaria and fight in Nuremberg first, then he can only choose to support Cyric church.

The combined forces of Austria and Bavaria entered Nuremberg from the city gate controlled by Priest Cyric. They did not receive the fierce resistance that the Saxon Army had ever received. The fact that the army was the enemy drove them to despair and crushed the will of all Sune followers.

All Sune believers laid down their arms and surrendered to the Austrian army in accordance with Ladislaus' request within half a day.

This kind of straightforward surrender also allowed Ladislaus to find a way to save them and prevent the Church of Cyric from becoming dominant.

"The Sune believers are all shameless degenerates. If these people refuse to convert, they should all be drowned in the water. Nuremberg is about the same distance from the Rhine and the Danube. It is the confluence of the trade between the two rivers. If there is a unified The powerful German nation-state can dig a canal here to connect the two major water systems.

"Belief in Ms. Huofa is equivalent to giving up the right to inherit the title and the right to hold public office, but it is not a crime." Ladislaus was somewhat surprised by the action of the Duke of Bavaria calling Sune's holy name directly.Suni is a true god with strong divine power, calling her name is almost blasphemy, this is not a joke.

The Duke of Bavaria is desperate.

"The followers of Sune provoked a rebellion in the Holy Roman Empire. This time, there are traces of heresy and agitation everywhere. Shouldn't they be severely punished?" The Duke of Bavaria is really eager to please the Roman Church to expand its territory and power.

"As long as His Majesty the Emperor and the Imperial Council don't declare Lady Huofa an unbelievable evil god, those rebellions are just the priest's personal actions. Your Royal Highness, please don't do it for me." These stern words.Sazastan spoke up for Ladislaus.

"Your Royal Highness, the great enemy who endangers the peace and stability of the Holy Roman Empire today is the Elector of Saxony.

And Martin Luther, it is not advisable to expand the opposition until they are eliminated. What Ladislaus said is right. "Please also take the overall situation as the most important thing." "

After hesitating for a long time, the Duke of Bavaria finally gave up his intention to clean up.He also had territorial ambitions for this territory, but Ladislaus did not annex Regensburg, so it was difficult for him to make a claim.

Austrian restraint also bound Bavaria.

"In any case, some compensation should be given to His Majesty the Great God and His Majesty the Elected Pope this time. I think Nuremberg should be changed to the territory of the Archbishop, and the Roman Church should appoint the bishop." Two members of Roman noble families became archbishops.The Principality of Bavaria can get a lot of benefits.

"Nuremberg is the place where the emperor's crown and the emperor's sword are preserved. It is also the place where several ancient emperors were born and lived. It is of great significance to the Holy Roman Empire. It may be difficult to convert it into a religious territory." Nuremberg has no clear capital in Holy Rome. There is no small political significance within the empire.

"The Holy Roman Empire is first holy and then an empire. Wouldn't it be most appropriate to let a servant of God protect the treasures of the emperor?" However, the Duke of Bavaria, who received countless black money from the Roman Church, naturally wanted to use money to do things, and he was very persistent on this issue. He repeatedly emphasized that the relationship between the empire and the dark church was resolutely unwilling to make concessions.

'Damn holy, I still want Rome. ' Ladislaus raged against the statement in his heart.But he didn't say it out loud, and just let Sazastan continue to argue with each other.

This debate did not reach a result in the end, and the two sides could only agree in the end that they would leave some soldiers to defend this place, and then make calculations after defeating the Saxon army.

If you win, there will naturally be new benefits that can be distributed and compensated.If it fails, there is no need to fight air-to-air, which will damage the relationship meaninglessly. Both branches of Wittelsbach are important princes of the Holy Roman Empire, although the Duke of Bavaria has no power to elect the emperor.It is still a very important relationship for Austria, and it is best to maintain a minimum of goodwill.

As long as the common enemy of the Elector of Saxony is still there, the two sides can always find a compromise.What's more, the Duke of Bavaria still covets the right to elect the Elector of the Rhine-Palatinate of his own family. The support of the Habsburg family is very important for him to seize this position. It cannot be said that he has no hope in this matter. Well, although Ladislaus is unwilling to benefit too much from the Bavarian Duke supported by the Roman Church, it can always be compensated. After all, it doesn't make much difference to him which Wittelsbach is elected emperor.

The development of the situation was quite rapid. The masters of Saxony, the Witting family, also had struggles. The Witting family, which upheld the equal share inheritance system, had internal disputes like the Wittersbach family.

The position of the current elector belongs to the long branch of Leipzig, and although the young branch that owns the Dresden area has also been converted to Benn, it has not responded to Martin Luther's call.

As the Austrian and Bavarian armies took the lead and approached the Saxon region step by step, this young branch decided to lose its allegiance to Austria.

The current situation is extremely favorable for Ladislaus and Austria. (To be continued.
