Warlock Royal Family

() On February 1525, 2, the fifth day after the Battle of Pavia, Marshal Doria delivered an impassioned speech at the Liguria City Hall, reaffirming his support and obligations to the King of France.

Ever since Ladislaus reached an agreement with the Marquis of Pescara, Ladislaus has been surrounded by doubts, and even his own people have said, "It doesn't matter if you reached an agreement with the Marquis of Pescara, and you can always discuss it with His Majesty the Emperor." Ask for more."

Everyone didn't believe that Marshal Doria would have such a thing as loyalty.

Seeing the defeat of the French army, there is no reason not to immediately roll over and ask the Habsburg Empire to take it in.

So a few days later, after Marshal Doria's speech was passed to Pavia, everyone was overwhelmed by Ladislaus' judgment.

This is indeed a choice that goes against common sense. Even Sazastan did not expect Marshal Doria to directly announce that he would continue to support the French Kingdom after the defeat without even contacting privately.

Ladislaus also behaved very decently after learning the news, and he did not show the young man's pride in his own judgment at all.

Not only was he unhappy but disappointed, Ladislaus was not at all happy that he was right.

If the Liguria Republic declared its defection, it would actually be a better result for the Habsburg Empire.

In fact, Ladislas's migraines recurred because of this news. He would rather distribute more supplies to Spain than his prediction of Marshal Doria would come true.

It's just that he knows his uncle well enough to know that this is his inevitable choice.

In the end, the Spanish and Austrian armies parted ways and went to attack the cities of Liguria and Milan respectively.

Most Austrians are very puzzled by the choice of the Doria family, which has a great impact on them. Now they can only rely on themselves to attack Milan.

It is obvious that Ladislaus does not want to talk about this issue, so Frenzberg and Earl Slam had no choice but to study this issue with Sazastan.

"Although I understand what you said about Marshal Doria's reluctance to change sides at this time, so as not to be considered a shameless traitor, but last time when the Spanish army approached the city of Liguria, Doria dared not even defend the city. Is he willing to bear the price?" Earl Slam asked the question quite politely.

Sarzastan killed the French king's horse and captured the French king alive. He made the first major contribution in the Battle of Pavia. Now he has firmly established himself in the Austrian power system. Earl Slam must be respectful.

The credit of "capturing the French king alive" will become his strongest political capital forever, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before Vienna regains the prestige of the Spanish prime minister.

Even if Mrs. Hohenzollern had a high official position, Machiavelli worked hard.It is difficult to compete with his great achievements.

Although it was only a year ago, Earl Slam and Frenzberg were ordered by Ladislaus to shoot him with bows and arrows, and finally sent Misrella, his important wing. Prague, but after all, it still failed to change the rise of Sazastan with both strength and luck.

Nowadays, a second-rate political figure like Earl Slam must be very, very cautious in front of him.

Sarzastan's judgment is also top-notch. Apart from Ladislaus, he is the first person to understand the reason for Marshal Doria's choice.

"The last time the Spanish army advanced, the Doria family's control over the city of Liguria was not tight enough, and the Xibo family had not yet been destroyed. Marshal Doria did not dare to defend the city in case someone betrayed him. This time is very different. Lost After capturing the core of the Xibo family, most of the opponents of the Liguria Republic have surrendered or been wiped out. We have also seen the defense of the Liguria city last time. The city of Liguria is also unlikely." Sazastan spoke highly of Marshal Doria's ability.

"Why can't the Spaniards directly pursue Savoy?" Earl Slam realized that the pursuit had asked a low-level question just after he finished asking, and he quickly asked himself. "Without controlling the city of Liguria, there is no shipping, and transporting supplies by land is a financial nightmare."

"Not to mention that the Duke of Guise is a difficult enemy to deal with." Szastan added that the commander who commanded the retreat of the French army had already figured out that it was another great magician, the Duke of Guise. Although he was aware of the crisis in advance, However, he didn't have enough prestige to raise the vigilance of the large troops, but the thousands of Lorraine mercenaries under his command and some French troops still performed extremely well, defending the camp from the Spanish attack, and finally withdrew from the battlefield in an orderly manner. .

Although the highest status in the French army today is the Duke of Alençon, a branch of the royal family.But what Sazarstan was worried about was the Duke of Guise.

It is precisely because of such thousands of cores that the French army was able to quickly organize a defense in Savoy without being defeated for thousands of miles.

"However, with so many captives this time, the ransom will not be too little." Frenzberg interjected.

"The ransom can only be negotiated after the peace talks. Now it's not necessary to hold on. Besides, the noble captives have returned to us. The ransom of dozens of nobles will not be much less than tens of thousands of civilian captives. King Francois is more Political interests." Sarzastan shook his head, "Spain's economic pressure is too great."

"The New World is said to be much wider than the Old World. It is also not as barren as the Black Continent, and the aborigines are not so fierce. It is said that the land conquered by Cortes alone is larger than the mainland of Spain. I think Find a way to squeeze out money." Earl Slam didn't care much about Spain's economic pressure and ran the train with his mouth.He only cares about Austria's financial situation: "We have got so many spoils this time, we should not be short of money, and we have been allocated so many military funds and weapons, can we expand at least three to four regiments?"

This question made Frenzberg sit up straight unconsciously.

The size of the standing army is where Frundsberg's greatest interest lies. The more resources the army possesses, the greater his authority.

"Austria's standing army has been around 5000 people for a long time, and it is obviously unable to adapt to the current situation. With the completion of the Vienna Trade Center, Austria is also able to support more standing troops. The materials and funds needed for the expansion of the army have also been resolved by His Majesty François this time. "Earl Slam was also very concerned when he heard the words. The two of them are the general representatives of the military forces, and their eldest son is also an officer.

"I don't know about that. The Hohenzollern High Commissioner has returned to Vienna directly from Venice with a lot of weapons and armor, but even if you want to expand the army, you have to wait until you take back Milan, and the cardinal will return to Vienna." Saza said. Stan was a little disappointed that he didn't get the important task immediately, but he also understood that this was the inevitable choice of Ladislaus to maintain the balance among the important ministers. "A major event like military expansion must be decided by the State Council."

Austria also has this time, since the French army has been severely defeated this time, and the French king was captured, it is no longer a problem for the Habsburg Empire to completely dominate the European continent, and it is unnecessary to further expand the army.

There must have been people who thought this way in the State Council.

In fact, many military officers also believed that after France suffered such a disastrous defeat, it should not be able to recover for a long time, but the top military officials naturally could not support this idea.

No matter what they think, they must act in their own interests.

However, the situation in Milan seems to support the view that this situation is very good. On March 1525, 3, the Austrian army entered Milan without bloodshed. (To be continued.
