While walking to the barracks and colonel, Frenzberg was in a heavy mood. To be honest, Frenzberg regretted it. He regretted leaving East Friesland and coming to Austria.

At the beginning, because of the family tradition of admiring the Habsburg royal family and the desire for titles, Frenzberg chose to leave East Friesland, which had an unknown future at the time, and turned to the emperor. Now, when you look back, Frenzberg thinks that it is a bad move.

Before joining the Habsburg family camp, Frenzberg was full of fantasy about the Habsburg family, the only royal family in Europe. In those fantasies, the Habsburg family is noble, grand and of high-end...

But after truly joining the Habsburg family and entering the core circle, Frenzberg realized that the Habsburg family, which looks glamorous, is actually in chaos and smoky inside...

The Habsburg family has been passed down for hundreds of years and has a long history. However, the bad is also in this "long-standing history". Since Rudolf I, the Habsburg family has begun to grow branches in Austria. The male family has established territory in Austria and each manages its own party.

Over the past few hundred years, the Habsburg family had many branches, and there were a lot of dukes and earls alone. Emperor Maximilian I was actually the leader of the Habsburg family in Austria, rather than a lord who had just said that. Although Austria was large, it was divided into many pieces. The emperor was only the Grand Duke of Austria, but within Austria, it was also divided into parts such as Upper Austria, Lower Austria, Tyrol and Styria. Moreover, within each duke, there were several earls of the Habsburg family branches. As for the baron, there were even a lot of them.

Therefore, every time Emperor Maximilian I holds a family meeting, the scene is as lively as that of the Imperial Parliament...

To be serious, the land directly controlled by Emperor Maximilian I actually only accounts for a small part of Austria. Most of the rest was divided by many branches of the Habsburg family.

Therefore, in this era when the monarch could only rely on territorial output, commercial tax and import and export tax, the Habsburg royal family, which had few directly under the territory, was a standard poor royal family.

Fortunately, Maximilian I got married well. Through marriage, he annexed the Burgundy Principality with numerous territories, which did not cause the financial collapse of the poor Habsburg family.

But because of the Duchy of Burgundy, although after the French invasion, only the Francheconte and the Netherlands were left, the taxes in the Flanders alone were worth the Austrian region. Later, after the family struggle, Maximilian I had to make concessions, and later the taxes obtained from Austria were less, and then they were mainly supported by the Netherlands and the Francheconte. As for the taxes paid at a minimum, they were naturally divided by the branches of the Habsburg family...

The dukes, earls and barons of the Habsburg family branch had no ability to succeed, but they were absolutely first-class in bad things. They liked to find fault with the emperor when they were free, and in order to maintain the appearance of the Habsburg family and the stability of the internal situation, Maximilian I had to make some concessions.

Frenzberg knew very well that Emperor Maximilian I trusted him very much, but the counts from the branches of the Habsburg family did not like him.

If he loses most of Switzerland, Maximilian I may want to protect him, but those members of the Habsburg family will definitely put him in the blame.

Why? Because Eagle Fort in Algo, Switzerland is the ancestral land of the Habsburg family. Losing the ancestral land is a great sin. This shit pot cannot be detained on Emperor Maximilian I. Then, the best person to blame is obviously Frenzberg...

Once the shit pot of "lost family ancestral land" is locked on his head, even if Frenzberg is capable, under the strong pressure within the family, Maximilian I will have to give up on him. Unless His Majesty the Emperor has the courage to break with the family... but that is impossible...

...

Frenzberg was very troubled and regretful when facing the Habsburg family, which was so complicated that he even had the urge to return to Marin's command. But he knew that it was impossible. After all, he was equivalent to rebeling from East Friesland. Even if he went back, East Friesland would have no place.

If he had not left at the beginning, then in the current Beihai Army, except Schwartz, and he would not have anything to do with Stadt.

Even when he was learning the art of war with Marin, Frenzberg's talent was better than Schwarz. However, Schwarz followed Marin earlier and more loyal, so he firmly occupied the position of Marin's number one general.

However, I can't go back to all this... Frenzberg felt lost, but had to accept reality...

...

When he arrived at the university, Frenzberg put away his loss and tried to make himself angry, pretended to be well-rounded, stood on the platform with high spirits, and announced loudly:

"Soldiers, today, I will take you to complete a great mission - to defeat the enemies of the great Habsburg family. As long as this battle is successful, you will be the great heroes of the great Habsburg family, and His Majesty the Emperor will definitely reward you. Many of you may be awarded titles..."

Frenzberg was not sure about the war. However, he once heard Marin say that before the war, we should avoid telling the truth, but should fool the people as much as possible to raise morale to the peak. In this way, it is easier to win when going to war. Moreover, Marin also listed an example of "all coins are facing upward" to illustrate the importance of fooling people during the mobilization before the war.

Thinking of this, Frenzberg's eyes flashed and he explained:

"Tonight, I will hold a warship. Everyone packs up their greetings and sets off tonight!"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because it is an ambush, it is naturally impossible to leave the city during the day. Otherwise, it will be easily discovered by the French. Therefore, Frenzberg chose to leave the city quietly at night.

But before leaving the city, Frenzberg did not pack his luggage, but took a few loyal confidants to polish the gold coins...

...

The gold coins polished by Frenzberg and his loyal close friends were Gulden gold coins engraved with the big head of Emperor Maximilian I. They were a batch of "Emperor's gold coins" specially created for the emperor two years ago to celebrate the successful crowning of Maximilian I.

The front of this "Emperor's Gold Coin" is a big head of the emperor wearing a crown, and the back is the logo and text of the Habsburg family's double-headed eagle.

What Frenzberg did with his men was to polish the back of the gold coins. Then, the smooth sides of the gold coins with only the front were glued together with expensive special glue...

...

In the evening, after the army had supper, the soldiers gathered on the campus again, and countless torches lit up around...

Frenzberg came to the Dianjiang stage with a middle-aged man dressed as a fortune teller...

Frenzberg yelled:

"Soldiers, the future of this expedition is uncertain. For this reason, I specially invited the famous local divination master, Master William (actually a guy I found from the local area. Anyway, the soldiers in the army are not locals and do not know him) to divine the good and bad things for us this expedition. Now I would like to invite Master William!"

Then, a middle-aged man in a black robe walked up to the platform with a serious face and said in front of the soldiers:

"My divination method is very special. It is a divination method of coins. It is to chant a handful of gold coins and scatter it on the ground. The more gold coins face up, the more auspicious it is. If all gold coins face up, then this battle will be won!"

The soldiers below were confused when they heard this - and there were also people who used money to divinate? I only heard about astrological divination (Pope Julius II believed this), tarot divination, and also about letter divination and coin divination. I have never heard of it...

But "Master William" didn't care about everyone's confusion, but took out a handful of gold coins and said:

"This is the 'Emperor's Gold Coins' issued to celebrate the official crown of His Majesty in Rome. Today, I will use this gold coins to divine. If most of the avatars are facing upwards, then this battle will be won. If all the avatars are facing upwards, then this battle will be won!"

Then, "Master William" recited a few mantras that he himself couldn't understand, and sprinkled the gold coins in his hand on the chopping board where the statue of Jesus was enshrined on the stage...

Then, "Master William" pretended to take a look inadvertently, and then shouted like a madman:

"Good luck! Good luck! All the gold coins are facing up! I will definitely win this battle!"

"Really? Let's take a look!" Frenzberg pretended to be surprised, and after approaching, he looked at it on purpose, he cheered loudly as if he was possessed of an evil spirit:

"It's really all the gold coins facing upwards! It seems that God also blesses the great emperor! God blesses my emperor! I will win in the next battle!" Then, Frenzberg wins at his confidants...

"God bless my emperor! I will win the next battle!" These are all child cares arranged long ago, so naturally they will give you face...

"God bless my emperor! I will win the next battle!"

"God bless my emperor! I will win the next battle!"

"God bless my emperor! I will win the next battle!"

...

After the soldiers shouted that they were tired, they sent representatives to the stage to watch the divination results...

Among them, a frivolous soldier wanted to touch the gold coins on the chopping board with his hands. Frenzberg suddenly became anxious. What if the truth was discovered? So he became wise in a hurry and kicked the soldier away, cursing:

"Can you touch the platform that worships the gods at this time? Don't blaspheme the gods!"

Then, no one dared to touch it... Of course, it will be exposed if you touch it...

...

Taking advantage of the high morale, Frenzberg announced with great enthusiasm:

"The army sets out!"
Chapter completed!
