Warlock Royal Family

() "After all, the city of Milan is high and deep, and there are thousands of defenders inside. We only have 5000 people now, and I am afraid it will be difficult to conquer without the help of the Spaniards." Odd Kessler worried that without the support of Spain, Austria The army can't expand the results of the battle at all.

"I have my own arrangements for the affairs of Milan." Francois arranged for the city guard of Milan to be Lord Ibrahimovic, who has made great contributions to the city. Ladislaus is confident that this man will not be able to create for himself no matter how much time he has to prepare. There are too many troubles. People with such a personality may be able to take advantage of the chaos and thrive, but they will definitely not be able to fight the tough battle of defending the city without reinforcements. This kind of battle requires a firm will.

"You just have to continue to bid, don't worry, the Spaniards can't keep dragging on." Ladislaus is very confident about this.

Although he was worried about dividing the spoils, Ladislaus knew that the situation was good, and he was in a good mood. Although he still couldn't eat any delicious food, he hadn't had a migraine for a long time.

His judgment is also based on the same reason as Odd Kessler's worries. The Spanish army can't keep delaying under the city of Pavia. Although the French army suffered heavy losses, about 2 people still fled to Savoy. In the Principality, according to the information provided by the pursuing troops, the French army did not continue to flee back to the country but chose to hold on to Turin.

This is a very correct choice. If you flee in a big defeat, it is likely to cause a large number of soldiers to flee. In the end, even 1 people will not be able to reach Paris. Standing firm in Turin can not only stabilize the morale of the army, but also pinch the wall of the Duke of Savoy. Grass.

Although the French army suffered heavy casualties, there are still about 2 people after all. If they can be effectively reorganized, they can still threaten the Habsburg coalition forces.

The Spanish army also urgently needs to turn the victory of this battle into benefits. Whether it is attacking Liguria again or Turin, it needs the support of Ladislaus.

The defenders of these two cities are very different from the notorious Zlatan Ibrahimovic who has no roots in Milan.

In Ladislaus's view, his other potential value is that Andre Doria may want to change camps through his relationship.

This is a very critical and difficult matter.

The two Italian cities of Liguria and Turin objectively became the key to the portal of the French East, and their mutual support made the attack extremely difficult.

Most of Pavia's defeated troops went to Savoy, and a small number of troops fled to Liguria.

These troops will obviously further strengthen the defenses of the two already strong cities.

Maybe the Spanish army will finally conquer them.But the time and material expended will allow the Kingdom of France to once again mobilize its seemingly endless human resources.

If the Doria family, which controls the Republic of Liguria, can change course this time and participate in the attack on the French army in the Principality of Savoy, then the situation will be very different.

This will not only make it more difficult for France militarily, but also create an impression that the French Kingdom is falling apart politically.

With such a prospect and the great banner of the Duke of Bourbon, there will inevitably be French nobles who want to speculate on the victor, and the Spanish army that invaded Provence again is likely to achieve huge results.

It is obviously unlikely to completely annex the Kingdom of France, except for Austria under the control of Ladislaus.Every power in Europe must rise against Spain.

However, it is still achievable to establish a private country belonging to the Duke of Bourbon on the Mediterranean coast and destroy the centralized regime in France.

Those powerful princes can take advantage of the chaos to restore feudal power to their territories, and the Kingdom of France will lose its nature as a political entity just like the Holy Roman Empire.

The key to all this is whether Savoy and Liguria can be quickly surrendered.

Of course, this is Ladislaus's view, and the Marquis of Pescara's idea is obviously a little different.

"His Royal Highness Cardinal, I propose to reach an agreement on the distribution of spoils as soon as possible. Although it is appropriate to let the boys take a rest after the war, but now is the critical moment to pursue the enemy. I propose this solution. There is no reason for Marshal Doria to flee again." I have gone to Corsica, and as long as you hand over His Majesty King François to me, I will propose to His Majesty the Emperor to recognize the Doria family as hereditary dukes of Liguria." The Marquis of Pescara meant, After such a big defeat in the Kingdom of France, the Doria family, who had a lot of trouble with the Kingdom of France because of the ownership of Corsica, must be eager to surrender to the Habsburg family.

"First of all, I don't understand what you mean by giving benefits to the Doria family to compensate me?" Ladislaus first clarified the most important question.It is absolutely unacceptable to Ladislaus to imply that he was once a member of the Doria family, that is, the Marquis of Pescara is a Spanish courtier. If any Austrian courtier dares to say that, don't blame Ladislaus for sending you away Build passes in the Alps.

"Secondly, I do have a deep bond with His Royal Highness Andre Doria, and I also know his personality and character very well." Ladislaus' next words surprised the Marquis of Pescara, "I don't think He will at this time dissolve the alliance between the Ligurian Republic and the Kingdom of France, and his personal obligations to the King of France through his naval office."

"You mean that your uncle will continue to support the Kingdom of France this time?" The Marquis of Pescara quickly converted Ladislaus' diplomatic words into straightforward statements.

"That's almost what it means." Ladislaus was quite dissatisfied with the attitude of the Marquis of Pescara.However, there was nothing he could do. After all, the victory in the Battle of Pavia mainly relied on the [-] Spanish troops, which greatly strengthened his speaking power. It is not impossible to become the Prime Minister of Spain in the future with this victory.

"I think this is unreasonable." The Marquis of Pescara is just a courtier in the system who doesn't understand the thoughts of Marshal Doria, "The losses suffered by France in the Battle of Pavia are amazing from any angle. Now There is no better time to betray with impunity."

"This is not something Marshal Doria would do. A defection at the end of the road will not be respected by anyone. The Kingdom of France forces him to leave, but now that the Kingdom of France is in turmoil, he continues to support it." Ladislaus said about his own Uncle knows enough. "In fact, even if I wanted to exchange my spoils for his hereditary status, he would never accept it."

"Anyway, this is unreasonable." The Marquis of Pescara still couldn't understand what Ladislaus said.

"I think we don't have to argue about it, we will know the answer soon, don't we, but based on the differences in the reaction of the Ligurian Republic. I suggest that we divide the spoils in such a way that King François and ten thousand French civilian prisoners are all To Spain, to Austria seventy noblemen and [-] Swiss prisoners, and to Austria the king's entourage and all weapons and war supplies."

"This is not enough." The Marquis of Pescara has already obtained the most important spoils of the King of France. The ransom for the nobles' captives and the treasury accompanying the army are minor problems, but the French left behind mountains of armor and all kinds of treasures on the battlefield of Pavia. The equipment is very important, even if Spain does not fall into the empire's wealth, it cannot ignore the seizure this time.

French weapons are not only huge in quantity, but also very well-made, which are rare good goods.

Ladislaus interrupted the Marquis of Pescara's intention to bargain: "In addition, I will not ask you to support me in attacking Milan, so that you can concentrate on attacking the Liguria Republic and the Duchy of Savoy in the west. .”

In any case, Ladislaus had given up on the King of France, and the Marquis of Pescara did not want to cause more trouble: "Then I accept, but if Marshal Doria chooses not to support the Kingdom of France, the armor and equipment will be divided into half of Spain."

"Okay." Ladislaus took the opponent's hand confidently. (To be continued. You are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets.
