Chapter 1352 The Emperor's Request
Speaking of which, Maximilian I was also quite sad. What a famous name for the dignified Holy Roman Emperor? But, he was a poor person...
Speaking of Maximilian I, Malin always unconsciously remembered the Zhou emperor in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, who was as poor as the one. After the demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Ping of Zhou, who moved the capital to Luoyang, had no money to hold a funeral, so he had to send someone to Lu to ask for it...
Of course, His Majesty the Emperor is a little better than the Emperor of Zhou. In any case, the Habsburg family and Austria were the basic base, and later they obtained the Netherlands and Francheconte through marriage. In itself, they were a powerful prince. Unlike the Emperor of Zhou, only the land around Luojing was left.
However, because of the pursuit of expansion and real power, the Habsburg family maintained a strong army. For this reason, although the Habsburg family had a lot of financial income, many of them were invested in the mercenary army. In addition, including the large number of branches within the Habsburg family, they all had to get a share. As a result, the Habsburg family became poorer. The emperor Maximilian I also became poorer emperor...
How poor was Maximilian I? In history, he died in 1519 to escape debt. As a result, after arriving in Innsbruck, where his daily palace was located, the citizens of Innsbruck refused to open the city gate and let him in. In desperation, he had to go to the mountain hut at the foot of the Alps for a temporary residence. However, it was January... The poor Emperor Poor was probably frozen in the mountain hut and died of illness...
300,000 gold coins are only the income of rye produced in Yugramma for Marin. But for Emperor Maximilian I, who has no input, it is a lot of money.
...
Sure enough, when Marin sent someone to change horses along the way and quickly arrived in Innsbruck and proposed Marin's conditions, Maximilian I, who was short of money, was moved.
However, he did not agree to Marin's conditions, but followed the envoy to the Beihai Kingdom in person, intending to interview Marin. In order to hurry up, Maximilian I even used the station system set up by Marin himself to change horses along the way through the station system set up by Marin, and soon arrived in the territory of the Beihai Kingdom. He met Marin, who had just recovered Oldenburg City and planned to continue to march into Bremen Province to eliminate the remnants of the noble resistance forces...
"What? Do you want me to send troops to join forces with Frenzberg's army to destroy the coalition forces of the princes?" After hearing the emperor's request, the teacup in Marin almost fell to the ground.
Maximilian I said seriously:
"That's right, if you are willing to send troops to attack Frenzberg, I think the coalition forces of tens of thousands of princes will definitely not escape the defeat! When those princes are finished, then we will divide Germany together!"
Marlin suddenly had ten thousand MMPs in his heart to talk about - Damn, still dividing Germany? Think I was a fool?
Marin knew very well that the one who was confronting Frenzberg in northern Switzerland was just a group of secular princes led by Frederick III, and it was not the full strength of all the German princes.
What's more, even the secular princes who were against the emperor had not exhausted their potential. For example, the Saxony elected the vassal state left half of the troops on the land. Other secular princes who participated in the Allied forces also kept their hands. Not to mention, the church princes basically did not send much troops.
Marin was sure that if he wanted to unite with the emperor to destroy the coalition forces of the princes, it would definitely cause a strong backlash from all the German princes. At that time, no matter which prince, he would make every effort to fight with him. Because if he didn't work hard, they might be annexed by the emperor and lose most of their rights.
At that time, the army of Marin and the Habsburg family will not face the tens of thousands of coalition forces on the front line, but at least tens of thousands of troops.
Also, if he really joins forces with the emperor completely, the French will have to end up desperately if they don’t end. Because once Germany is unified, France will face a huge threat directly.
Although Germany is poor, the Germans are more martial than the French. A unified Germany is definitely a huge threat to France. Haven’t you seen that after Germany was unified in later generations, the French were bullied so miserably...
During the First World War, if the British had not sent a large number of nobles and cannon fodder to the battlefield to accompany the French to die, the Germans would have defeated France and recreated the shame of the French-Popular War.
The French obviously knew this, so once the emperor had the idea of unifying Germany, the French would definitely stop it at all costs. At that time, Marin and the emperor would face more than 100,000 coalition forces of the princes, but also tens of thousands of elite French troops...
So, Marin refused the emperor without hesitation:
"Your Majesty, this is impossible! If I dare to send a large army to the south, the originally neutral church princes will definitely gather their troops to fight us. Also, the French, who have always been enemies of the Habsburg family, will never watch you unify Germany. Therefore, we may face more than 200,000 troops..."
In fact, the situation is not as bad as Marin said. As long as you take action quickly, you will first eliminate the coalition of tens of thousands of princes and capture those princes, you will be able to take the initiative. At that time, even if the princes are taught to react and send troops, it will be too late to do so.
Moreover, if Marin transferred the Sixth Legion and the Fourth and Fifth Legion in England to fight, he might not be unable to defeat the enemy...
But Marin is not that stupid...
First of all, even if they can defeat their opponents, the price will definitely be extremely huge and it will not be worth the loss.
Also, even if the coalition of princes is destroyed, what are the benefits for Malin? After all, Malin is also a member of the princes. If all other princes are destroyed, then the next one to be destroyed is himself.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The butt determines the head, Marin's identity, and it determines that he cannot really stand by the emperor and destroy the princes...
As for what the emperor said to divide the world equally with him, Malin, who had seen a lot of history, didn't believe it at all. He couldn't help but remember the fact that Liu Bang and Xiang Yu divided the Chu River and Han boundaries. As soon as Xiang Yu turned around, Liu Bang tore up the agreement and sent troops to pursue him...
Although Maximilian I was not as shameless as Liu Bang, he was definitely not a good man. If the other princes were finished, the next one to be dealt with would definitely be Beihai Kingdom...
Although the Habsburg family is not strong now, it is not because of poor combat effectiveness, but because of lack of money! Now, the Habsburg family has Frenzberg, a general who is proficient in the training methods of the North Sea Kingdom, training is not a problem. The only troublesome thing is that the Habsburg family has no money...
If Marin helped him to conquer half of the country, the trophy alone could fill the shortage of money in the Habsburg family. At that time, the Habsburg family would recruit more troops and would have the ability to confront the Beihai Kingdom...
...
After thinking about it, Marin thought about it and politely refused:
"Your Majesty, I only have more than 20,000 people..." The subtext is - I don't have enough staff to rogue and I won't help...
After a long silent period, Maximilian I said:
"Well, I won't force you to lead your troops to destroy the coalition forces of the princes with me. You may indeed have to face the princes and French in all Germany. That... the loan of 300,000 Gulden gold coins..."
"Forgive! As long as you are willing to send troops to temporarily delay the coalition of the princes and prevent them from returning to the country, you don't need to decide the winner with the other party. Just delay the other party for a period of time and give us time to annex the 8 princes!"
But Maximilian I didn't seem satisfied-
"What I mean is - can you borrow 300,000 gold coins? After all, I feel very difficult to maintain so many troops now..." Obviously, Maximilian I was raising the price. Of course, His Majesty the Emperor did not lie. During this period, in order to confront the coalition forces of the princes, the Habsburg family expanded their troops greatly, and it really required a lot of military expenditure to maintain the army...
Marin thought about it and felt that this was not a big problem. As long as he sent troops to capture eight vassal states, a mere 200,000 gold coins were really nothing. Moreover, Maximilian I did not want it, but borrowed it. Although the date of return was known today. However, this was better than Marin rushing to send troops to help the Habsburg family destroy the princes...
So Marin nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll say hello to Siena Bank!"
