Warlock Royal Family

() "Are you the Marquise Facchetti who resisted fiercely against Medici's interference in the true election of the Pope?" Ladislaus confirmed to the envoy sent by Cardinal Orsini.

"The Marquise not only resolutely refused to recognize the sovereignty of the Church of Rome over Siena, but also made some preparations to mobilize the defense of the city." The members of the Orsini family only have a relatively distant bloodline, but they are also honorable enough as envoys, showing the great sincerity of the Orsini family.

"How ambitious is the pope really elected? Is it really necessary to merge the Duchy of Siena into the Church State on the grounds that the young duke is not a legitimate child and has no inheritance rights?" The Church of Rome has only a small number of troops on the border, and has no The mobilization gesture that the war has already begun makes Ladislaus wonder whether the opponent's desire is just to seize part of the border territory of the Principality of Siena, or to let the Colonna family continue to submit to the Church of Rome.

Ladislaus hesitated at the border for more than ten days and still couldn't make up his mind to cross the undefended border. The key was that he didn't know the ambition of choosing the pope.

Although the loss of Siena will strengthen the Church of Rome, and the strength of any Church of Rome is not what Austria is willing to do, but under the current situation, Ladislaus cannot determine Madrid's attitude. Siena lost a little interest, it is best to avoid direct conflict.

"The plan to really choose His Majesty the Pope is beyond our knowledge, and His Majesty the Patriarch is not sure. I can only really choose His Majesty the Pope and have not carried out a general mobilization. At present, there is no atmosphere of tension in Rome." The envoy thought for a while, It seems that he has decided to make his words clear so as not to take any responsibility. "However, the economy of the Principality of Siena has not been doing well in the past few years. The business with Rome and Florence has not been very good. The maritime trade with France and Spain has also been affected by the war and has been at a low level. His Royal Highness Colonna has been Following you in the north and south, the Marquise Facchetti is a woman after all, and it seems that she has not established a very solid authority."

Mr. Orsini's words made Ladislaus fall into silence again, and he thought about today's situation since he accepted the old Colonna's service.The old Colonna's choice was actually to put his chips on the ability of Ladislaus and the credit of the Habsburg family.

The son who was killed by the Cardinal Medici just left a little affection with Ladislaus, and sending his daughter to Ladislaus' bed only strengthened the affection, but the deal Emotional points in the bargaining chip are an insignificant part, and emotional points can only lead to real transactions.

Although the private soldiers of the Colonna family occasionally get a little reward from Ladislaus, most of the time the old Colonna is serving the cause of Ladislaus at a very low, almost free price.

Although there is no contract.Ladislaus and old Colonna didn't even have a long talk, but a silent deal was always being carried out.

All the hard work that old Colonna put in has a price, and when he dies, Ladislaus pays for his sweat and toil.

"The old Duke of Colonna was a distinguished prince of the Holy Roman Empire. He once swore allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor. In the last few years of his life, he dared to leave his hometown and his family. It was because of his Knowing that our Habsburg family will protect the legitimate rights of his grandson, as long as there is the support of His Majesty the Emperor and me, no one can endanger the Colonna family's rule over Siena." Ladislaus wants to pass Orr The Sydney family came to declare his attitude.

"The generosity and righteousness of the warlock royal family is really a blessing for the Holy Roman Empire." All the territories of the Orsini family are in the territory of the Papal State, and the Orsini family has been a strong contender for the election of the Pope for hundreds of years Those who should be firmly opposed to the revival of the Holy Roman Empire. "The Medici family is going against the grain. Blatantly trampling on the legal power of the princes of the empire will definitely not succeed."

After sending Mr. Orsini away, Ladislaus will inevitably study the reaction of the Orsini family with Sarzastan.

"It's strange, the Orsini family was the first to arrive. I thought it would be the Vitelli family or the Baglioni family." Ladislaus said to the Orsini family. The strength is still relatively understood. "This family has the closest connection with the Roman Church."

Sarzastan was also surprised. He also thought that at most he could only get a response from the second-tier family: "This is indeed a bit unexpected. Maybe it's because Vitelli and the others are not strong enough and dare not get involved."

"Perhaps the power of the Medici made Cardinal Orsini fearful." Ladislaus felt that it was the strength of the contemporary Pope Elect that gave him a potential ally. "Or they also want to separate from the Church of Rome and establish their own principality like the Colonna family."

"This is the most likely explanation. It is also in the interests of Austria that Romagna, as du li's feudal state, is handed over to the Orsini family, but there is still a problem here."

Sarzastan had no words, he was well aware of Ladislaus' troubles.As revealed in the conversation between Ladislaus and the Orsini envoy just now, the jurisprudence of Austria’s actions in Central Italy is very dependent on the throne of the Holy Roman Empire, let alone the tens of thousands of Spanish victorious troops in Naples. The pressure to really choose the pope, the Habsburg army from the north and the south would have been enough to keep the master of the Church of Rome awake at night, worrying about his own survival before it was too late to have any other thoughts.

The Habsburg family has proved through the Battle of Pavia that even the Republic of Florence and the Church of Rome can hardly be a combined attack from the north and south of the Habsburg family.

It's just that the Habsburg family is now in conflict.Only then gave Pope Medici a little freedom of action.

Ladislaus pondered for a while, but decided not to rush to Madrid for help. From the fact that the Church of Rome dared to attack, Ladislaus was convinced that the true pope was different from the second- and third-rate forces like the Marquis of Mantua. He must have some understanding of the conflict between himself and Ferdinand, and even if he provoked it, at least he used this opportunity to carry out a challenge.

Asking Madrid for help at this time is not only a big disadvantage in the family infighting, but also makes everyone wonder whether Austria's status as a European power depends entirely on the Spanish-Austrian alliance?

It is especially sensitive to the fact that Austria is a partner. If Austria has to ask its big brother Spain for help every time in order to protect its younger brother, then what is the point of being Austria's younger brother?

Shouldn't it be enough to just offer money to Madrid?

Ladislaus was determined to show that Austria was capable of capturing and defending its interests alone.

"When the autumn harvest is over, bring one or two of the newly formed regiments to Italy."

"I'm afraid the soldiers still have some hesitation about attacking Rome," Sazastan said.

"Let them see that the chosen pope will also beg for mercy under the sword of Habsburg, which is the best sacrifice to relay the faith of His Majesty the Great Wishing Knight."

The conversation between Ladislaus and Sarzastan was going on, and Old John begged to see him.

"Your Highness, Your Highness Machiavelli has sent a regiment and cavalry, and there is a letter for you to personally seal."

"It came so quickly?" Ladislaus took the letter in surprise. The expansion has been completed in just a few months?

In any case, it is too fast, so the structure of the troops will not be too weak.

However, Ladislaus did not question his chief confidant in front of other people, but just opened the letter.

As soon as the letter was opened, Ladislaus frowned tightly without looking at it a few times.

"Old John, you ask Mr. Orsini to come here at once."

Ladislaus was worried by Machiavelli's letter explaining why he was so eager to send the newly erected armies to Italy.

What is even more worrying is that Old John reported that Mr. Messenger seemed to be no longer in the camp. (To be continued. You are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets.
