Generally speaking, the Pope will not issue such an appointment that is likely to be rejected. Because if the appointment cannot be executed, the Pope will be very embarrassed and even lose its prestige.
But Julius II was not afraid, because he had already found a "thug" and was waiting for the other party to not give him face. If the other party admits his conscience, he will find it difficult.
However, it is unlikely to make the Republic of Siena admit defeat. Why? It is still the tax issue of "tith tax". Because of the disobedience of the Holy See, the Republic of Siena had actually revoked the local bishop's right to be Syrian. Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that after the Republic of Siena controlled the bishop's right to be Syrian, it would have the opportunity to share the rich "tith tax".
Every year, the "tith tax" of the wealthy Republic of Siena can reach about 250,000 gold coins. Because the protagonist's "Xi Ren Power" has been controlled by the Republic, Bishop Siena is actually a puppet of the governor. The "tith tax" of 250,000 gold coins collected will be divided into 120,000 gold coins. The remaining ones will be intercepted by the Siena Church. Then, it will take out a fraction of several thousand gold coins, at most tens of thousands of gold coins, and give it to the Holy See. Even in some years, it is too lazy to give this meaning...
The Holy See is not unhappy, but the military of the Pope has always been weak. After all, there are many bishops in the city of Rome who are good at intrigue, but there is an extremely lack of military talents. Wicked people like Caesar Bogia can be regarded as military wizards that the Pope has seen in a rare century.
Therefore, even though I knew that the little money sent by the Republic of Siena was really a beggar, the Holy See could not get angry. Because it was useless to get angry. After all, the Republic of Siena only entered and exited the Francisco, and it was a valley road, which was very conducive to the defense of the Republic of Siena. There was an example of the 33,000 army defeat of the Republic of Florence, and the Holy See could not do anything to the other party.
On the surface, Julius II's act of replacing Bishop Siena is just an internal affairs of the church. However, when it comes to huge "tith taxes", the Siena Republic will not retreat no matter what. Once the Holy See takes control of the Siena Church, the annual "tith tax" of 120,000 gold coins will be divided, and the Siena Republic will not be divided into the Republic. Therefore, Julius II's act of replacing Bishop Siena was considered to be the "seven inches" of the other party, and the other party had to jump into this pit. Unless the other party does not want the annual tax of 120,000 gold coins, but is that possible? It is impossible, so it is difficult not to make a big deal...
...
As things get bigger and bigger, this matter has also become headlines in Europe. Basically all countries in Europe have joined the ranks of onlookers, which is not counting. Some countries have also started to take sides...
Maximilian I, who wanted to ask the Pope to help him crown him as a formal emperor, asked Julius II, so he was naturally the first to stand up to support the Holy See.
Maximilian I publicly stated that secular power belongs to the king, but church affairs are under the Pope...
After saying a lot, Maximilian I also said that the consequences of offending the Pope are not good, and the consequences of Emperor Henry IV are there. The meaning of this sentence is - dare to confront the Pope, be careful of "exclusion"...
In fact, Maximilian I was arranged by Julius II to say this. Why? This is to mislead the Siena people and the French people who may appear behind Siena...
Why mislead them? It is because Marin and Julius II were both worried that if the purpose of the war was exposed early, Siena would be desperate and seek asylum from France.
The 20,000 Italian mercenaries in Siena are not scary. As long as Maximilian I's army attracts Siena's main force in the southeast, Marin can easily attack Siena's city.
But if the Siena felt the danger of war early, they would likely seek help from France. If the French and Julius II were not in the way, they might send French troops to land in the Grosseto area on the west coast of the Republic of Siena to assist in defending the Republic of Siena.
If the French send an army of 10,000 or 20,000 to assist in the defense, Marin's raid will be severely difficult and even fail. What's more serious is that if you directly face the French army, you may have a broken face with France. Although Marin may not be done with France, it is best to avoid a fall in love with a top power like France...
Therefore, the way Marin and Julius II discussed was to try to disguise the conflict as if it were a diplomatic conflict in the early days, without involving military affairs...
As long as the Republic of Siena does not feel the pressure of military affairs, it will not ask France for help. As long as France does not send troops to help fight, Siena's army will not be worrying...
...
With Maximilian I's statement, the German princes of the Swabian League, a series of Habsburg family, also jumped out to support Pope Julius II, and accused the Republic of Siena of being too disrespectful to the Holy See.
But at the same time, France also made some statements. French King Louis XII believed that Siena was an independent sovereign state and had the right to decide the candidates for its own bishops. Even if the Holy See had the right to intervene, the Bishop of Siena should be decided by both sides, rather than the Holy See's unilateral replacement of the candidates.
Although Louis XII's speech pointed out that Julius II was unreasonable, his tone was still relatively mild. After all, it was not fun to break up with the Pope. If Julius II announced the opening of Louis XII's religion in anger, Louis XII would be embarrassed. Perhaps, it would also lead to domestic rebellion. Even if Louis XII could support it, it would definitely be a big deal. Moreover, if he was extorted, he would definitely be embarrassed and become a laughing stock. Therefore, even as the king of France, Louis XII did not dare to break up with the Pope easily. Moreover, France is not the dominant one now. Spain in the southwest and Austria in the east are still eyeing France.

Then, many great nobles from the French faction also spoke, publicly supporting Louis XII's views. But at the same time, King Ferdinand II of Aragon in Spain stood up and supported the Holy See.
Speaking of which, the relationship between Ferdinand II and Julius II may not be very good, but the Spanish and France are mortal enemies. Anyone who supports France will definitely oppose it. On the contrary, if France opposes it, Spain will support it...
Then, many countries and forces began to argue about this incident, and divided them into two factions to attack each other...
At this time, Marin suddenly issued a statement on behalf of the Beihai Kingdom. In the statement, Marin believed that the Republic of Siena was a wealthy country, and the "tith tax" was very considerable, with an estimated 200,000 gold coins every year. But every year, Siena gave only a few thousand gold coins to the Holy See, and it was no different from the begging. Therefore, the core of the matter was not the appointment and removal of the bishop, but whether the Republic of Siena was respectful to the Holy See. To put it bluntly - Siena was too disrespectful to the Pope...
Then, Marin also gave his own suggestions - will the "tith tax" paid by Siena to the Holy See be raised to 70,000 to 80,000 gold coins every year?
As soon as Marin's statement was released, all parties suddenly realized - Oh... It turned out to be the thing about gold coins...
Then, Maximilian I jumped out again and showed off a "peacemaker" face, hoping to mediate the differences between the Holy See and the Republic of Siena regarding "tith tax", and suggested that the Republic of Siena give tens of thousands of gold coins every year, so that the Holy See should not be shameless...
...
In the end, everyone was taken a deviant...
Except for those insiders, all European countries thought that the Holy See wanted Siena to pay more "tithing" taxes, but no one thought that Julius II really wanted to attack Siena...
Moreover, Julius II never admitted that he wanted to knock Siena's robbery, which laid the groundwork for the subsequent dispatch of troops...
