This is the relationship between countries. Everyone is just friends of interests, and no one will be intimate about you. If it is beneficial to both sides, everyone will naturally work together. However, if the interests are different, the choice will be different...
Therefore, it is not surprising that Maximilian I and John II choose this way. If they take the initiative to tell Marin the truth, that would be stupid.
In addition, another group of Marin's allies - the Hanseatic Alliance. Among them, the knowledgeable people also saw Marin's problem, but also chose to remain silent. Why? Because they also hope that Marin's relationship with other princes will be more rigid so that they can have the opportunity to get along with each other. As for some of the allies who are not smart enough and have insufficient levels, they cannot see the key points and cannot remind Marin...
But this time, Ulrich, the Duke of Württemberg, felt guilty because the prisoners of war introduced from the Principality of Württemberg, so he quietly sent someone to talk about this matter to Marin...
After all, Duke Ulrich collected more than one million gold coins from Marin and ate it. Moreover, it seemed that Marin was cheated. Out of embarrassment and fear that Marin would regret it, Ulrich sent someone to provide Marin with this important message.
Of course, it is not that Duke Ulrich is smart and has vision. But because as a prince of a great country, Ulrich had a group of strategists around him. They saw it and told Ulrich. Duke Ulrich was afraid that Marin would regret it and asked for a refund, so he sold his favor and quietly told Marin the news.
After receiving the news from Duke Ulrich, Marin frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly realized!
It is no wonder that the collision between modern thought and ancient thought is normal. Every time we carry out reforms, the new and old schools have to go through a desperate battle, let alone the ideological differences for hundreds of years?
Originally, Marin had thought about adjusting his ideas. But after thinking about it, he could not help but discover that it seemed that he could not compromise with the old nobles...
Why? If Marin wanted to live a life and wait for death, he could naturally compromise with the old nobles. However, he was an ambitious man, and he wanted to annex northern Germany and the American colonies...
In this way, he needed the Beihai Kingdom to become very powerful. However, if he compromised with the old nobles and appointed the incompetent noble children, the Beihai Kingdom would not be able to become stronger according to his plan. After all, the children of the old nobles had a set of old-fashioned principles and would not be changed easily. On the contrary, the civilian officers and civilian officials promoted by Marin had no traditional conventions and could only obey Marin's command.
In this way, if Marin wants to make the Beihai Kingdom stronger through reform, he cannot use the children of old nobles as the main officials. Even if he uses the children of nobles, he can only use a small number of obedient ones. Most officials have to rely on those obedient common people.
In other words, even if Marin knew what the problem was, he was helpless. Unless he was going to be a scattered person and waited to die in the future, he didn't care about the strength of Beihai Country...
...
Of course, Duke Ulrich's reminder was not completely useless. At least, Marin knew what the real problem was and would no longer spend any effort to do useless work. For example, Marin did not need to explain to other princes that he was not the "emperor's lackey". In the relationship, people's attention was not on this...
In addition, after Marin knew the truth, he could also arrange spies to make some targeted propaganda. For example, Marin "is not that he did not want to appoint aristocratic children, but that the noble children looked down on his background!", "No nobles were willing to surrender to him, he could only choose to cultivate civilians to serve the new nobles and then work hard for him."...
Promotion like this is actually a kind of excuse - it's not that I don't want to use you, but that you look down on me...
Although it is impossible to convince the old nobles, they can also weaken their hostility towards themselves. It is enough not to reverse the prejudice of those people towards themselves. It is enough to reduce the resistance they will be able to recruit soldiers from southern Germany to worsen immigration.
Then, Marin organized an open political show. He summoned thousands of new and old nobles in the entire Beihai Kingdom, organized a grand court dance, and began to establish a new aristocratic order. All this made Marin look more like a member of the aristocratic class, rather than the leader of the mud-legged rebellion and counterattack...
Moreover, Marin repeatedly emphasized his identity as a blood relative of the original descendant of the Count Brock family, saying that he was not without a background...
Also, Marin also announced in public that if there was no war, the officers of the North Sea Kingdom would be given priority to select from the children of the nobles. Only during the war will military achievements be given priority...
But this statement is actually similar to that, because Europe is in constant wars and the Beihai Kingdom does not lack wars at all. The so-called "noble priority" is just a short promise.
However, it seems that this statement has indeed reduced the hostility of some old nobles to him. Moreover, it also made the current Beihai Army officers feel at ease.
But at the same time, Malin asked the teachers to tell the students of civilian schools that they would study hard and that there would be more opportunities in the future...
As for how to end in the future? I am not sincere enough to give the whole of Brazil to the aristocratic class? At least, the civilian class is not that good, such a large fief...
...
Just as Marin was "strategic fooling" the old European nobles, the future Pope Leo X and the current Archbishop Giovanni of the Medici family also came to Orich and visited Marin.
At present, although Julius II did not die due to Marin's intervention, his health became poor and he might see God at any time. Therefore, Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici also stepped up his private activities to ensure that he could take over the next pope.
Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici knew that Marin had a very close relationship with the Pope in private. Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity to visit the German region, he came to visit Marin, hoping that Marin could help him speak good things.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content below! You should know that if the current pope is supported and trained, his chances of taking over as the pope will be greater in the future. What's more, Marin is the super major shareholder of the Bank of Siena. If you want to run for the Pope successfully, you naturally need to rely on the financial support of the Bank of Siena, which has a strong capital.
Therefore, whether from the perspective of political resources or capital support, Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici must obtain the support of Marin.
Marin had no objection to this, but this time, while expressing support for Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici, Marin also made a request - to let Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici serve as Robert's teacher!
"Who is Robert?" Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici was a little confused.
Marin coughed and explained:
"Robert de la Rovere, his mother's name is Ferris Rovere..."
"Ferris..." Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici suddenly widened his eyes after thinking about it...
"Is it..." He remembered the rumors about Rome many years ago. At that time, Julius II was an archbishop, but he was also a storied figure in the city of Rome. His private life was also very popular...
Marin nodded and agreed to Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici's guess.
Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici took a deep breath and said:
"I understand, I will serve as Robert's teacher. Moreover, I will focus on cultivating him in the future!"
