Warlock Royal Family

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for us!"

"Your Majesty, the Frenchman, the Duke of Bourbon, cannot be trusted at all. He harbors evil intentions and is treasonous!"

"Ludvik-Medici is not worthy to be the owner of Pisa City at all!"

In the countryside of Pisa, the United King met some country gentlemen who greeted him warmly.

"Your Majesty the King understands everyone's request. The Principality of Pisa has been an inalienable part of the Holy Roman Empire since ancient times. The Great Warlock Royal Family will never tolerate and appease anyone who tries to split this region."

The demands of the two parties are completely irrelevant. Ladislaus' strategic fulcrum and scope of interests in Central Italy are only the Principality of Siena controlled by the Colonna family.

The squires wanted Ladislaus to stop the Duke of Bourbon from burning, killing and looting, but Ladislaus just let Duke Horthy answer for himself. He just wanted to declare the existence of the empire by the way.

The villages where these squires lived were relatively close to the city of Pisa. Ludvik Medici gathered all his troops in the city, so the Spanish army did not approach the city. In any case, the owner of the city of Pisa was actually Habs. What about the allies of the Bao family?

On the Apennine Peninsula, the only official enemies of Spain today are the Church State and the Republic of Florence. [

The city controlled by Ludvik-Medici is still safe. After Ladislaus broke through the city of Florence, this astute mercenary commander took advantage of the "chaos" to seize the dominion of the Pisa area. This time Bourbon The duke went south, he just held on to the city and let them ravage the countryside.

This is not an outrageous decision he made after rationally assessing the comparison between himself and the Duke of Bourbon. If he dares to send a large army out of the city to defend the countryside, and does not give the Duke of Bourbon any benefits, then maybe Bourbon The Duke of Bourbon dared to accuse him of colluding with the true pope to rebel against the warlock royal family. The Duke of Bourbon's tolerance for him must be extremely limited, and he is still a Medici anyway.

The surrounding villages and even the city of Pisa itself are bound to be finished.

However, the leading figures in those villages and towns are still full of resentment towards this dishonorable Duke of Pisa.Not only did Ludwig Medici, who claimed to be the Duke of Pisa, impose heavy taxes, but they also worried that the Spaniards would go back and forth. In fact, Ladislaus caused great concern when he led troops into this area .

Of course, Ladislaus finally did not plunder.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Bourbon seems to have caused a series of very bad effects on the reputation of the warlock royal family here."

After sending off the restless squires, Duke Horthy reported to Ladislaus.

"For these regrettable collateral damages, I am of course personally heartbroken. I have reminded the Duke of Bourbon in letters many times to tell him to distinguish the good from the bad. For patriots who support our Habsburg family and support the unity of the empire, we must Take more care, and carry out solemn battles with distinctions. Don’t kill people indiscriminately.” In fact, it was more than a very bad influence, and it almost lost the reputation of the Habsburg family in Central Italy.

Although most of the tormented territories of Central Italy are the territories and fiefs of the Church State, many of them, like Florence, are legally fiefs of the Holy Roman Empire, paying or not paying a negligible imperial tax every year.

When Ladislaus came all the way.Just uphold the principle that if you pay for everything, you will be fine, and if you don’t pay, you will be asked to pay with interest.

However, it is completely impossible for the Duke of Bourbon's "chaotic" soldiers to distinguish these complex historical relationships. They are not happy to find out which knight has a little respect for the concept of empire, and which abbot completely regards the Habsburg family.

Their principle is, grab what you can.

"Your Majesty, the lady regent of Siena requests that you must inform the Duke of Bourbon of your close friendship with her. And warn the Duke of Bourbon not to enter the city of Siena ten kilometers away." Ladislaus this is not It was the first time I heard howls from Siena.

The Marquise Facchetti was very worried about the safety of her territory.

"At the end of the letter, the Marchioness also hopes that you don't mind her hiring a group of sailors from Liguria to strengthen the defense of Siena."[

Marquise Susan Facchetti was of course also frightened by the actions of the Duke of Bourbon. Of course, she did not dare to hinder the Duke of Bourbon's road to Rome, but she couldn't stand just robbing along the way.

Although in fact the city of Siena is not on the only way of north-south traffic.But there's no reason the Duke of Bourbon shouldn't take a detour to grab an extra buck.

"Tell the Regent Madam that although I can't rush to Siena, I am very concerned about Siena's situation, and I will definitely ensure the safety of the Colonna family's territory and property. Of course, I understand her efforts to strengthen the city's defenses. Work hard." Ladislaus said as he watched his murderous subordinates step onto the huge battleships.

Although the whole of Central Italy has become a mess, the city of Rome is still calm. The residents in the city simply believe that the Spanish army dare not rob the holy city of Cyric.

However, some powerful figures do not believe that the true Pope is ready to guard the city.

"Your Majesty. Although Ladislaus offered extremely generous conditions. But Marshal Doria did reject him." Of course, the source of information for Cardinal Orsini was not the Doria family's own statement, but It is a conclusion drawn after integrating the intelligence system of the Church State, Shar Church intelligence brokers, and various local resources. "In this way, we don't have to worry about the Ligurian fleet blocking our coastline."

"In addition, both Seville and Barcelona have guaranteed that they have not seen the Spanish main fleet." The eyes and ears of the Church of Cyric in Spain do not need to be hidden.Although the Habsburg family and the Trastamara family have been working hard to infiltrate the Spanish church and have indeed achieved great results, the influence of the Roman church is still sufficient, at least one of the more than twenty ships is hidden. A fleet of capital ships is out of the question. "I believe that during the attack of the Duke of Bourbon's troops, we don't have to worry about threats from the sea, and the resources invested in the defense of the Tiber River can also be reduced, which can just strengthen the reinforcement of the hill wall."

"The city militia plans to mobilize 6000 people, plus the 500 Swiss Guards we have, it should be enough to guard the city." Due to historical reasons, the city of Rome is larger than a city with the same population, but it is close to 1 people The army is also enough to defend.

"The scale of this mobilization is a bit too small." The true elect Pope, who has been silent all the time, expressed his objection. "At least 5000 to [-] people must be mobilized."

"This means not only mobilizing the residents in the city, but also allowing many farmers outside the city to enter the city." Cardinal Orsini immediately objected. "For the past 24 months, because you have insisted on concentrating resources on intensive mining of Hell's Entrance, you have also been procuring excessive bronze for the past three years. Although you have paid for more than half of these operations through Medici silver, but for Rome The city's armaments still caused huge damage, and even reduced the maintenance of trebuchets and giant crossbows, leaving only one-tenth of the standard requirement for crossbow bolt reserves!"

These worries have been pressing on Orsini's heart like a mountain. The Pope really chose to rely on the financial resources of the Medici family to make enough compensation, so he has remained silent.

But the approaching Spanish army made him unable to bear it any longer. The accumulation of the Orsini family for hundreds of years was all in this Roman city. If something happened, how could he explain to the family ancestors.

A few days ago, there was a woman who was obviously a lobbyist of the Habsburg family and wanted him to work for Ladislaus, but she didn't think about it. The Orsini family is actually a shareholder of the Church of Rome. No matter how many times he has dealt with Ladislaus in the dark, at this time he will not be of two minds, he is not a traitor.

"The stock of food and cloth in Rome has dropped sharply, and the supply for the current population will be insufficient for twelve months. Once the population in the city doubles again, we may not be able to last until winter! Although the Spanish fleet has not yet arrived, But we will definitely not be able to get supplies for a long time, in order to ensure that we can wait for the French king to rescue us, we must at least last until winter.” In Orsini’s view, when winter comes, even if the French king is ultimately unreliable, the Duke of Bourbon In winter, they should withdraw by themselves. "I propose emergency procurement on the one hand and rationing within the city on the other"

"At least 5000 to [-] people must be mobilized." Regarding Orsini's detailed and content-rich rebuttal, the Pope really elected just repeated his request again.
