Warlock Royal Family

The main force of Ladislaus was assembled in the city of Bratislava on the Danube.

This is a real army, with soldiers and civilians. Even if a team of more than 5 people has the help of water transportation, it will be a huge burden on the state apparatus.

Now the [-] soldiers of the Federtale rebels and more civilians also need Ladislaus to coordinate the supply.

After incorporating the Federtale rebels, Ladislaus had to supply tens of thousands more mouths, and it was impossible to break away from the activities in the Danube River Basin.

However, compared with Poland and several North German princes who were temporarily mobilized after learning that the Ottomans had entered, Austria was still much more prepared, not to mention that Ladislaus also got most of Feldtaler's Bohemian controlled repository. [

Ladislaus did not enter Prague, the capital of Bohemia. He used Bratislava as his base camp for managing Bohemia.

Many local powerful factions chose to stick to their family's castle at the beginning.

Even after Frundsberg's elite troops repelled the small Polish troops in the north, not many Bohemian nobles came to see him.

After Austria and Poland entered Bohemia and began to compete, the electors of the two Holy Roman Empires, Saxony and Brandenburg, also successively sent troops into Bohemia.

But like Poland, they had few troops and were not very determined, all under the guise of supporting Hungary in the fight against the Ottoman pagans.

These troops were brought in by Federtaler. Bohemia was the bait he threw to the neighboring countries. His real goal was Central Hungary.

Ladislaus launched a raid in Bohemia in the name of helping counter the rebellion.

"Oh, I gave her so much silver thaler, how could she be so polite?" Ladislaus' actions in Bohemia in the name of Queen Mary were of course not authorized.

Although Queen Mary rebelled because of the news of Feldtaler.There was no public denunciation of Ladislaus, but in private letters she could say whatever was on her mind.

Queen Mary's tone became quite unfriendly as the Austrian army gradually expanded the control area, and there was no family bond at all.

"Using the opportunity of the invasion of heretics to carry out shameful aggression against friendly neighbors will inevitably be severely punished."

"The shameful lie of a hypocrite. The despicable attack of the wrath of man and god."

"Disgrace to the Habsburgs."

Ladislaus read the letter in his hand again, and after confirming that there was no useful information, he tore it into pieces and threw it into the Danube.

Cousin Mary doesn't know what role Ladislaus really played in this accident, otherwise she doesn't know what words there will be.

But even knowing Ladislaus' actions, she fought back with all her might.

Ladislaus has stuck the key between Bohemia and Hungary itself, the city of Bratislava.

This is a key point, retreating can defend Bohemia.You can go through Hungary.

The terminal in Bratislava has doubled in size in the past fortnight, and that's it, the transportation speed of materials is still far from enough. [

With each passing day, Ladislaus' grip on the city deepened.

Since the king led his army south to meet the Ottoman army, martial law and curfew began in the city of Buda.

"So the Ottoman army has been delayed for some time because it completely wiped out our remaining strongholds on the south bank of the Danube River. The troops have also been dispersed? Is this good news, Your Excellency?" Queen Mary was shocked by Ladislaus' despicable actions. The bad mood finally eased a little.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Minister of Finance stayed in Buda as the left-behind minister to assist the queen. "It's just that the enemy's advantage on the south bank of the Danube is great this time. Unless the decisive battle ends with our complete victory, even if it is a small victory or even a draw, we will be able to win the battle." There is no way to regain the land on the south bank. It will take a long time for the ravaged villages and destroyed towns on the north bank to recover, and this year's finances will be much more difficult."

"There is no need to count on the tribute of Bohemia. The damned traitor Federtale, I hope he will be drowned in the coldest sewage." Although she was extremely dissatisfied with Ladislaus, Queen Mary said in front of her courtiers He didn't attack his distant cousin. "However, those Czech nobles in Prague were unwilling to pay much tax to come to Buda."

Ladislaus tried to spread the news that he had only defeated the rebels and restored control of Bratislava a few days after the rebellion.

Although this can't confuse others for long, it can still reduce the hostility a little.

Of course, the effect is to talk better than that. Queen Mary was still furious at his actions after a little recollection.

So did the other Hungarian nobles, they were very angry.

"Although there is a lot of cash every year. But after all, the subsidy of 10,000+ Thaler is very important to our financial balance." The Chancellor of the Exchequer thought for a while and decided to confirm it. "Hungary is very grateful to your cousin for sending troops to suppress the rebellion so quickly after receiving your letter."

"This is as it should be, and our family's love for each other has always been like this."

The nonsense between the monarch and his ministers, although Ladislaus tried his best to cover it up.But the actions of the Austrian army have shown his ambition.

But they can only say this, now that the Ottoman army is pressing down on the country, it is not a good time to get to the bottom of Austria's actions.

Although many Hungarian nobles are worried that Ladislaus will use his grandfather's power to claim the rule of Bohemia.

However, the Chancellor of the Exchequer is not worried. Although Ladislaus' pedigree has certain claims, his father is an illegitimate child after all, and the strength of the claim is very insufficient.

Moreover, Queen Mary has already sent a letter to Madrid, as long as the emperor comes forward to stop it, Ladislaus has nothing to do.

"General Shaobo Rai's [-]-strong army will reach Pest in [-] days. Do you have any suggestions on how to use this force?" Queen Mary was not actually asking a question.

After the Feldtaler incident, all the central Hungarian nobles had the same attitude towards the foreign corps.

"The Transylvanian Corps still has about half a month to arrive in Pest. I suggest that it is not too late to study how to arrange it by then." The proposal of the Minister of Finance is very much in line with the queen's wishes.

Now the Kingdom of Hungary is also providing supplies to the front-line army through the Danube River. In fact, the re-arrangement in Pest is actually no arrangement. This army will never get enough capacity to enter the capital.

"It's just that if that's the case, I don't know if the soldiers who came to King Qin from afar will have complaints?" Queen Mary seemed a little worried about hurting the feelings of loyal soldiers. [

'You bloody hypocrite, like your Austrian cousin! '

Queen Mary's suggestion that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was taking the blame was, of course, extremely resented by him.

"I will try my best to arrange for Pace to take good care of these royal troops, but in terms of finances, I am afraid that the royal treasury will need to provide another support?" This is the condition for the Minister of Finance to turn against General Szabo Raoyi.

"But the royal treasury is already empty." Although Her Majesty the Queen has the support of Ladislaus, she does not intend to provide it to the Minister of Finance in this way.

The natural use of this money is to expand one's network and buy some key people. What's the matter with the state's finances?

Queen Mary will never forget the indifference and siege she received after secretly reporting to her natal family during the election of the throne.

"There is no way around this. We can only pay the nobles in the capital another coat of arms tax and forest tax, and sell part of the royal hunting grounds as an emergency."

Sure enough, the chancellor has a solution.

"Then I will leave it to you." The hunting ground belonging to the royal family is very large, and Mary always felt that it was a bit too big and wasteful. It was enough to ride a horse for a day, and it was too extravagant if it was too big.

It is indeed too extravagant.

The hunting ground belonging to the royal family can be transformed into a ranch with high economic value because it is close to the high-level consumer market in the capital. The chancellor has been coveting it for a long time, and now is a good time to buy it at a low price.

Of course, if you come forward directly, you will leave an excuse for your political opponents, but it doesn't matter, just use white gloves to handle it.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer is familiar with such matters.

"This time is really good. I will buy half of it, and let the two government officials' related households also buy some. Those pastures are well managed, and it is easy to earn [-] to [-] thalers a year." '

Satisfied, the Chancellor of the Exchequer left the palace, and returned to his mansion in a carriage.

Without other bigwigs fighting for power with him, the queen's experience is not as good as the king who has ruled for several years.

Although the chancellor of the exchequer still can't eat alone, but this time there are many fewer people who want to share the benefits.

Generally speaking, this is really a very good day. Everything is as usual, and the power of the Horthy family has slightly expanded.

Although there seems to be something wrong in my heart, it should be related to my age.

But where did the sense of crisis and unreality come from? (to be continued...)
