Chapter 2072 Arrival in Siena
After Marin and his son left, the emperor's grandchildren also discussed it. The future Charles V was only a 16-year-old child at the end of this time, and was fooled by Caesar's young acting skills.
"Perhaps Grand Duke Marin's education of his son is to be friendly to the Habsburg family, right?" Prince Charlie said with some uncertainty.
Maximilian I was undeniable, but he knew that the two families were still allies now. Moreover, even if Caesar supported Charlie's statement, it was probably not groundless. Because, he actually knew that his former subordinate Marin was very meticulous and unwilling to be enemies with others. He probably would educate his son to keep a low profile. Therefore, his statement that he would not compete for the throne of the God Luo was probably credible.
In fact, the emperor underestimated Marin's degree of maturity. He didn't even know that the strength of the Beihai Kingdom alone was enough to beat all the German princes. If the French had not been worried that the French would have stabbed the sword in the back, they would have long been overwhelming the various princes. If Marin was truly willing to help the Habsburg family, the two families might not be able to defeat the alliance between France and the princes.
However, Marin was also very ambitious and planned to annex the territory of the small German territory in later generations, so he refused to truly join forces with the Habsburg family. Besides, if he took action now, he was really not sure. If he was defeated, he would have to escape to America in shame. It would take decades to escape to America and want to restore his strength and fight back. By then, Marin might not be alive. Therefore, it would be better to wait a few years now, wait for his strength to sweep the target in one fell swoop.
Unlike the Duke of the Netherlands who took over the position of Duke in history, who grew up in the Low Countries and was educated by his widowed aunt Margaret, in this life, aunt Margaret did not die of her husband and her father was still alive. Therefore, Prince Charlie did not shoulder the great responsibility since he was a child.
Because he was disappointed with his son, Emperor Maximilian I often brought his eldest grandson to Austria and trained him personally.
After all, Maximilian I was the top politician in Europe in this era. He taught himself, but it was better than the teachings of his daughter Margaret. Therefore, Prince Charles, who was only 16 years old, had the ability to be no less than the same period in history and was more than that of his time.
Therefore, Prince Charlie knew very well that as the future heir of the empire, he had to have enough and powerful ally. The Beihai Kingdom happened to be the ally that needed to be won the most. Because the Beihai Kingdom not only had strong force, it attracted a lot of firepower for the Habsburg family, but also was very rich. Being rich means that he could lend him money to run for election. Therefore, in the eyes of the emperor's grandparents and grandchildren, Marin and his son were not just allies, but also the father of the financial master.
The money owner's father was really powerful. After returning to the camp, Malin felt that he was empty-handed. In order to calm the emperor's heart, he wrote a note, stamped it, and sent it to the emperor. On that note, there was only one sentence - with this note, you can get an interest-free loan of 700,000 Gulden gold coins from Beihai Kingdom in the next emperor election.
Although it was just one sentence, it was so powerful that it was urgently needed by the poor Habsburg family. The 700,000 gold coins given by Marin was also the total amount of Charles V's campaign funds in history.
Of course, because of the invasion of Marin, the European economy during this period was more developed than in the original historical period. The main reason is that the Beihai country produced more commodities and precious metals. Therefore, everyone has a higher vision and the expenses required will increase even if they take into account. But no matter what, millions of gold coins should be almost the same. 700,000 gold coins can account for more than half of them. Moreover, the Habsburg family is not only a financial backer. For example, the Fuger family is also one of the supporters of the Habsburg family.
"Malin, my great loyal minister!" Seeing this generous gift, the emperor no longer doubted the loyalty of Marlin and his son. Prince Charlie did not doubt Caesar's previous friendly attitude. For the poor Habsburg family, giving money is the greatest sincerity. If Marlin had a reputation system in the game, he would not stop watching the increase in the reputation of the emperor's grandparents and grandchildren...
...
Halfway through, Caesar was also a little suspicious of life - if I had known the ultimate move of scattering coins, what else would I do...
Marin criticized Caesar's idea of "if you have a financial father, you can be arrogant", and repeatedly emphasized that only spending money but not acting skills can only be considered a rich nouveau riche. Spending money and acting skills is the manifestation of Di Xing.
During the subsequent journey, Marin no longer cultivated Caesar's military command ability, but cultivated his acting skills. After all, he hoped that Caesar would be a king rather than a general.
My generation is different from Caesar. I started from scratch and didn’t fight in person. Caesar is the heir and didn’t need to fight in person. Moreover, the Beihai State military school system and staff system can definitely cultivate a lot of military talents. Perhaps, the military talents cultivated alone are not as good as Marin, a time traveler. However, when military talents gathered across the country are stronger than Marin. Therefore, for Caesar, he only needs to have enough governing ability and be able to use ministers and generals well. Acting skills are a very important part of the governing ability. Sometimes, you are obviously very afraid of a general under your command. However, because you have to use him, you have to pretend to trust him while guarding him so that the other party can work hard for you. Otherwise, writing suspicion on your face will force others to be disloyal from you.
"Come on, follow me to practice the 'false sincere smile'..." Marin began to personally guide Caesar's acting skills again.
The so-called "false sincere smile" is a very high-level facial expression. This kind of smile is essentially false and contrary to one's will. However, it must give the other party a sufficiently sincere illusion to win people's hearts. Inadequate acting skills can't be played at all. Even in later generations, most actors cannot be played. However, the big guys in the political and business circles basically...
Marin didn't expect Caesar to learn immediately, but at least he had to practice regularly. Not to mention Caesar, even Marin himself had been a prince for 20 years before he could reach the point of perfection. When he just went to Texel Island to be the Baron Lord, although he had two lifetimes of memory, he was still a novice in the ruling class. At that time, his acting skills were not much stronger than Caesar. In addition to being a strong theoretical foundation, he probably had a thick-skinned face.
Fortunately, Marin felt that as a time traveler, he was the son of destiny, and with such a steady (comfort), he should not be too premature. He had time to train Caesar into an outstanding...politician...
