Looking at Maximilian I, who smiled like a chrysanthemum, Marin sighed a little - who said that this guy is the "last knight king"? In the face of huge interests, isn't this guy surrendering and turning evil?
"Wait... I turned black... I seemed to have turned black long ago..." Marin felt a little annoyed, feeling that he was becoming more and more sinister and dark.
However, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing you can do. I was just a small employee in my previous life and I couldn't stand to do anything bad. If I violate the law, I'm afraid of being shot...
But this life is different. He was born in an inauspicious and chaotic era - the Pope (Alexander VI) took the lead in poisoning and killing people, and the German nobles fought each other. If he still maintained the innocence of his previous life, he would have been swallowed up to nothing left. The environment can create people. If you stayed in a small mountain village all your life, you would not have contacted the outside world, watch TV or listen to radio, you might be very simple. However, as long as you come to the city and enter the world, you will inevitably suffer from one problem or another. If you want to make a name for yourself, you will even become evil. Even if you were a simpler person in your previous life, you had encountered two formerly good candidates who turned against each other in order to compete for the position of department manager in the company.
This is a real world, not a fantasy world where one person and one sword can suppress the heavens. In this ordinary world, even a powerful general like Lu Bu, Guan Yu and Dian Wei will die of conspiracy, let alone a person with a team leader-level martial arts skills like Marin? Therefore, if you want to have a future, he must go into the darkness and move forward with a burden...
Just like the "old chrysanthemum" in front of you, Maximilian I, known as the "Knight King", has abandoned the principle in the face of super huge profits like the two kingdoms? As a monarch, it will be useless even if you want to be overthrown and killed...
...
To be honest, if Marin hadn't only Caesar, he would have wanted his other son to marry the Kingdom of Bohemia. What a pity...
Although Bohemia and the Kingdom of Hungary combined are much larger than England and have a much larger population, it is obviously not very good to face the problem of Turkey. No matter how strong the national strength is, it cannot help but waste time with a stronger enemy. Therefore, Marin chose to let Caesar marry into England's only princess, rather than the Bohemian princess.
Marin felt lost when he gave Bohemia and Hungary to Maximilian I. On the contrary, Maximilian I was extremely happy at this time. Those were two kingdoms. If you have any reason or not, you can wear two crowns first. With the strength, you can still compete for Emperor Shenluo and then wear a crown... The happiest thing is that Bohemia, Hungary and Austria are connected, and it is very convenient to rule. Unlike Austria and the Netherlands today, although they belong to the same family, they are too far apart and are not easy to manage.
In a good mood, Maximilian I discussed with Marin the issue of continuing to send troops to Siena:
"Malin, do you think I still need to participate in the next battle of Siena siena?" In fact, from this, I heard that he was not willing to participate in the battle of Siena siege, which was extremely exhausting. However, he was here to cooperate with the acting, so he had to act in the whole set.
Moreover, Marin didn't want Maximilian I to contribute too much to his contribution. Of course, it wouldn't seem appropriate if he didn't bring Maximilian I to play...
So Marin thought for a while and said:
"Your Majesty, your mission has actually been completed. You can wait to be crowned as the real emperor."
Hearing this, Maximilian I was very happy. Emperor, that was the title he had always dreamed of. Although he had been elected as emperor for a long time, without being crowned by Rome, he could only be called the King of Germany and the Roman people, rather than the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. Only when he was internally, everyone respected him as emperor. However, when he encountered uncooperative oppositions, he called him His Majesty the King, which made him helpless.
However, this battle to conquer Radikofani Pass was fought by Marin, and Maximilian I served as a spectator. This made His Majesty the Emperor very embarrassed, so Maximilian I also planned to show his presence:
"Or what if I will lead my troops to Siena?" Maximilian I planned to lead troops to show off his presence outside Siena and scare the defenders in the city. Although there is no need to do anything, it is good to scare the Siena people.
Marin frowned and said:
"Your Majesty, you don't know. Siena is surrounded by mountains and the terrain is narrow. Even if your 20,000 troops go, there is no place to camp..."
What Marin told the truth is that the city of Siena is already in the mountains and valleys, and there is no flat ground. The Fourth Legion and Marin's mountain infantry army were already a little crowded outside the city of Siena. If 20,000 people from Austria pass by, there is probably no place to station...
"But, I'm here to help fight Siena in name. If Siena's siege is not powerful at all, it's a bit unreasonable..."
Malin suddenly realized that the other party just wanted to act. So he gave an idea—
"Or, you can send five thousand soldiers and horses to go with you. At that time, your five thousand soldiers and horses will be responsible for the South Gate and there is no need to siege. As long as the enemy does not break through from now on, it will be enough. Five thousand people should guard the important mountain roads outside the South Gate. At that time, my people can concentrate on attacking the Northwest Gate and Northeast Gate!"
It is enough for the emperor's five thousand soldiers to guard the mountain road to the south, and to take the banner of Austria, it can also put more psychological pressure on the defenders in the city. Therefore, Marin finally decided to let Austria send 5,000 guests to play...
"Are you five thousand people...it's okay..."
In this way, Maximilian I divided up five thousand soldiers and followed Marin's large army to attack Siena. As for Maximilian I, he led another 15,000 troops to rest in Radikofaniguan City, and waited to go to Rome to be crowned.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The five thousand soldiers and horses assigned were actually Austrian soldiers, the real elite of these 20,000 people. Although they did not have to attack Siena, the task of guarding the important roads of the south mountain road of the city was also very heavy. If the Siena army bets out of the city and attacked the camp, they also need to be defeated. If they were defeated by the Siena army, Austria would be very embarrassed. Therefore, Maximilian I simply sent five thousand strongest soldiers to siege the city.
But before leaving Radikofani, he suddenly came to report:
"Dagong, Mechio, manager of the Florence branch of the Italian branch of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce, asked for a meeting!"
"Manager of Florence branch?" Marin frowned. From the title, we can see that this guy is a manager in charge of trade. Because in the North Sea Chamber of Commerce, only those who are responsible for trade will be managers. If the intelligence personnel should be the team leader or something, they should not be here to report important information. So, what is this guy here to do? Is he here to flatter?
Marin was really guessing correctly, Manager Mechio was here to flatter. He learned that the boss of the Chamber of Commerce's backstage came here and captured the Majestic Pass. At this time, he happened to escort a batch of goods to Rome to load ships and pass by the near Majestic Pass. So Mechio, who is good at camp, decided to enter Ladikofani and flatter the Majestic Pass. Anyway, the boss had just won a majestic pass and should be proud. When he went to flatter, he should be happy. Maybe he could go further and take a step forward...
In fact, Mezio really thought it was bad. Because Marin was not interested in flattering people. However, when he heard about what Mezio did, Marin was immediately excited:
"What did you say? This Mechio is responsible for the acquisition of sulfuric acid in Florence?"
"Yes, I heard from him that there are several alchemists in Florence who know how to make sulfuric acid. Mechio is mainly responsible for purchasing finished sulfuric acid from these Florence alchemists, and then sending it to Rome every three months, and carrying it back to the North Sea Kingdom from near Rome..." The guard replied. Indeed, when Marin was making smokeless gunpowder, he felt that the sulfuric acid was not enough, so he ordered people to go to all parts of Europe to find the alchemists who make sulfuric acid to purchase finished sulfuric acid. Italy is a region with many alchemists. Obviously, Mechio is the small person in charge of purchasing and transporting finished sulfuric acid in Florence.
