Warlock Royal Family

The meeting between Ladislaus and Marshal Doria took place five days before the conversation between the Pope Elect and Oswald.

"Uncle, you are still in style."

"Ladislaus, you are the one with extraordinary style. This time you repelled the Ottoman pagans and made great contributions to the whole of Europa."

"Where is it, is Auntie in good health?"

"It's okay, it's just the same."

Because the meeting between Ladislaus and his uncle was kept low-key, there was no formal welcome ceremony.

However, the Doria family and his party felt his sincerity from the fact that Ladislaus went out of the city twenty miles to welcome him. Not only Marshal Doria came to Mantua, but also Milo and his new wife, The bride, from the Este family, the ruling family of Modena and Ferrara, was thrilled to have a Ladislaus relative in her husband's family.

This family is actually of the same family as the Welf family, a famous family in North Germany. They used different surnames due to cultural and historical issues, so they are relatively close to Germany among many noble families in North Italy. A tighter one.

"Big cousin, this is my sister-in-law. I'm so sad that I couldn't attend your wedding." [

The bride was quite beautiful, and Milo was holding her with a smile from his heart on his face. Although it was a political marriage, they did look like a very happy couple.

"His Majesty the King"

"Oh, why is the big cousin so out of touch, just call me Laszlo."

"No, no, no. How dare I?" Of course Milo wouldn't just call his cousin so loudly.

"Your Majesty, you are the defender of Europa. I have been looking forward to seeing you." The lady who has just become Mrs. Doria will not understand the rules.

"Sister-in-law, don't be polite, just call me Laszlo."

Since the other party brought a lady, Ladislaus also brought Halna as an accompanying guest.

"This is a headdress taken from the golden tent of the Ottoman sultan. It is so beautiful to wear, sister-in-law."

While Ladislaus was talking, Harna put a headband that was obviously not in the style of the Xingyue Cult on the head of the sister-in-law from the Este family.

"It is said that this treasure once belonged to a queen of the Byzantine Empire." Ladislaus later explained the origin of the style of this treasure. "Look here, the engraved text seems to be"

"Oh? That's really great." The origin of this treasure made the lady unable to find any adjectives.

In fact, Ladislaus said this modestly. His troops repeatedly cleaned the palace where Suleiman once lived and the final battlefield, only to find a few decorations engraved with the name of "Pariologos", Most of them were given to Juana and Marie by him.

Elanova also accepted one after repeated resignations.

The three queens didn't wear them on their heads every day after getting the benefits, but their head maid arrogantly declared that other women wearing these ornaments was too presumptuous. Of course, this statement made Harna hate it, although the head maid mainly wanted to be disgusting It's not her.

This one can be said to be a precious enough gift for Princess Este. [

"Sister-in-law, His Majesty the King has always hoped that people from the Doria family can come to Vienna for the summer, but there has never been a chance. This time I will officially invite you." Although Harna did not receive the spoils of the Byzantine royal family, she was very happy with Lady. Slaus was very satisfied with sending one to his brother's wife.

"Oh, that's really my honor. Vienna is the birthplace of the great magician royal family. It has always been my dream to visit it once, but it depends on the wishes of my father and my husband." The barren mountainous area in northern Switzerland It is the real birthplace of the Habsburg family, but although the princess does not know enough about the history of the Habsburg family.But obviously her attitude is very positive. "Father, can Milo and I go to Vienna?"

"Of course, of course." Both the husband and the father-in-law seemed to be happy with the invitation, at least on the surface.

"Harna, take my sister-in-law to see the cloak that Her Majesty the Queen gave me, I believe it will suit her."

Next, the two ladies went to try on the latest style of cape sent from Madrid, although it was not as good as the fashionable Parisian clothing.

But as the most honorable woman in Europa, the hobbies of the Queen of the Holy Roman Empire still make most wives willing to follow her.

And Mr. Doria went to talk about work with the former Mr. Doria.

This big family seems to be very harmonious.

This friendly atmosphere did not disappear until Ladislaus and Marshal Doria sat down to discuss business.

Ladislaus' negotiating attitude is just too good.

It is too weak in diplomacy, so weak that even several shorthand secretaries are a little uncomfortable.

"Uncle. I am very supportive of your efforts to get rid of the control of the Kingdom of France and restore the Republic of Liguria." This kind of opening statement seems not suitable for diplomatic negotiations, at least the shorthand secretary thinks so, and Ladis Rouse still spoke in Italian, even though it was his mother tongue.However, German is his more commonly used language, and it is more suitable for the comparison of the strengths of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Liguria. "Not only me, but His Majesty the Emperor of Madrid is also very concerned about the just cause of the Ligurian people. After all, the Ligurian Republic is also a part of the Holy Roman Empire. We, the Habsburg family, will never accept foreign oppression for any members of the empire. Will sit and watch."

"The support and understanding of the warlock royal family is an important pillar of the Ligurian Republic's cause of freedom." Compared with Ladislaus's still intimate title, Marshal Doria insisted on using the most respectful title.

"Once you announce the release of all obligations to the Kingdom of France and send troops to counterattack Corsica, the Spanish fleet will immediately provide you with the necessary support, and my troops will also gather in Milan. If the French invaders dare to threaten our hometown , I will definitely give him a head-on blow." Ladislaus' words made Milo Doria happy, and he completely proposed the conditions that Doria and his son dreamed of. "Moreover, please believe that the emperor and I have no territorial ambitions for the Liguria Republic. As long as you recognize the Liguria Republic as a part of the empire and pay the same imperial tax as other members, we will never impose other Unwilling to accept the obligation to you."

Although the Ligurian city would certainly still be subject to French attack and would give the Habsburgs freedom of movement in Central Italy, there would be no fatal risk from Ladislaus' promise of support.

With any benefit comes risk.

And the imperial tax is not a problem. The imperial tax borne by each member of the empire ranges from nearly [-] talers to hundreds of talers. It is completely different from the various economic and political oppressions of the French kingdom on the vassal states.

"You are so generous, my brother." Milo couldn't help but use the address Ladislaus wanted him to use. Although Ladislaus seemed to be a very sensible person like his father, people will change. Isn't it so, maybe after sharing the bed with his sister for so many years, combined with the relationship with the Doria family and the big victory in the East, Ladislaus decided to be particularly lenient in dealing with the Ligurian Republic. .

The development of the matter is much better than expected. Although the Habsburg family is definitely willing to participate in all actions against France, the Doria family must still have to pay a high price.

In particular, Ladislaus refused to accept financial services from the Republic of Liguria, so there must be political appeals.

The result of his discussion with his father was that, at most, he would give Ladislaus and the emperor a few parliamentary positions to arrange relationship households, and he would never accept the way France now controls diplomatic relations. This is also the basic reason for their resistance.

Of course, there is still a large amount of cash to be provided to the Habsburg family. The emperor's financial problems are obvious, and Ladislaus also needs resources to absorb the newly acquired large tracts of land.

The Doria family relied on the decline of Venice to greatly expand their share in the trade in the Western Mediterranean. They were able to provide millions of talers to Ladislaus and Ferdinand respectively.

As the Spanish chaotic army goes south, the only remaining important competitor of the Republic of Florence may also be severely damaged. Although the infighting of the Medici family caused some damage, those Italian mercenaries are natives of their hometown after all. After all, this kind of thing will not be as cruel as the Spaniards. Ladislaus speculates that this can be regarded as one of the reasons why Marshal Doria led the Spanish chaos to the south.

Combining the Duke of Bourbon's letter and Jones' information, Ladislaus discovered his uncle's various tricks, but he did not take revenge on Marshal Doria because of this, or even embarrass him by speaking out.

He even went a step further and offered more generous terms.

"Oh, brother, please believe in my feelings for the Doria family and the Republic of Liguria. I am not only willing to provide the above support, but there is another opportunity that I must point out to my uncle and you. One that can make the Doria family A chance to leap." Ladislaus was so generous.

"What happened, I'm all ears." Andre Doria no longer had a false smile on his face, and he looked into Ladislaus' eyes and asked.

"Grand Marshal, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. His Majesty the King is willing to support you in obtaining the Port of Nice in the Duchy of Savoy, and letting Ludwig-Medici, who occupies Pisa, submit to you, and last but not least , the seat of the elector of the Holy Roman Empire." Ladislaus leaned on the seat, and Sarzastan listed the good things in the Ladislaus discount gift package. "His Majesty the King has made necessary contacts with His Majesty the Emperor and two important electors. In the near future, an elector who is not loyal to the empire will be removed. The two His Majesties agree that the Doria family can become a The new Elector."

The two Dorias reacted very differently to the shocking news.

The son opened his mouth all of a sudden, while the father closed his eyes. (to be continued...)
