A month passed quickly. Before Marin's recruits were trained, the Pope's decree was delivered there. Of course, in order to keep the secret, the decree was first delivered to the Archbishop of Cologne, Bishop of Munster, Bishop of Osnabrück and East Friesland. A buffer period was left for the parties to deal with it so as not to be public and attract external interference.
When the Pope's order was delivered to the Archbishop of Cologne, except for the surprise of the people below, the seven senior officials of the Archbishop of Cologne were as stable as Mount Tai. Anyway, it was the cause of the Holy See, and they were just ordered to do things. Moreover, they had gained enough benefits. Therefore, there were no problems with the Archbishop of Cologne, but some priests were just angry.
The Bishops of Munster and Bishops of Osnabrück were just furious...
It was a coincidence that at this time, the bishops of the Bishops of Munster and Osnabrück were both Conrad from the Count of Rietberg, the second son of Conrad V of the Earl of Rietberg. In the Bishops of Munster, Bishop Conrad was called Conrad II. In the Bishops of Osnabrück, he was called Conrad IV.
However, Bishop Conrad became the bishop of the Bishop Osnabrück in 1482, and in 1497, he became the Bishop of Münster.
One person is a bishop of two bishops. Originally, Bishop Conrad was very trusted by Archbishop Cologne, Herman IV. However, in the face of personal and family interests, Herman IV decisively sold Bishop Conrad...
Speaking of which, Bishop Conrad was also unlucky. All the two bishops he served as the National Bishop were sold to Marin by the Holy See.
"Even if you leave me a Bishop Osnabrück..." Bishop Conrad was full of tears. The Pope's decree almost made Bishop Conrad, who was originally in power, lose all his secular power at once. How can he not be sad and angry?
Power is like drugs, and if you have never enjoyed it, it is nothing. However, if you try the feeling of being in power and lose it, it will be very uncomfortable. Therefore, some leaders in later generations will age very quickly after abdicating. Unlike when they were on stage, they were so energetic.
Bishop Conrad, who originally had secular power in two bishop states with more than 12,000 square kilometers, was deprived of all secular power at once, as if he had been pulled out of his muscles and bones, which made it very unbearable.
So, Bishop Conrad, who was unwilling to give up, decided to appeal. He knew that it was unlikely to let the Holy See completely reclaim his life. Therefore, he decided to appeal. For example, keeping the largest southern half of the Bishops of Munster. Or, keeping him a Bishop of Osnabrück is also...
...
However, Marin could not give Conrad a chance. As soon as he received the Pope's order, Marin began to gather troops and prepare to go south.
After careful consideration, Marin decided to select 5,000 veterans and 7,000 recruits who were summoned first to go south together. In East Friesland, 3,000 veterans and 5,000 recruits were left to guard the troops.
At the same time, the militias in East Friesland were also summoned 3,000 people to the Oldenburg State to be commanded by Adler to prevent Oldenburg State from being attacked by the enemy.
In addition, Malin once again summoned 10,000 people to serve as civilians and transport supplies. Mainly, many artillery and shells, as well as a large number of materials.
Moreover, with ten thousand people accompanying you, you can also strengthen your voice and scare those who have different ideas...
At the expedition ceremony, except for the Adlers and his wife who were far away in the Bernard of Oldenburg, the whole family came to see him off. Old Hoffman and Madame Mary took Simon, Albert and Anne, and waved goodbye to Marin together. Angela hugged Little Caesar, and in front of the formation, kissed Marin goodbye affectionately...
On the side, Felice also held a "little carrot head" and said goodbye to Marin with affectionately. Of course, Felice was unknown and did not dare to hug and kiss Marin in public.
In early December last year, Felis gave birth to a boy, who was very terrible, but looked very much like Marin. Marin finally breathed a sigh of relief-there was no green on his head... Then, Marin happily named this "little carrot head" Robert...
Everyone didn't know why Felice's son was named Robert, but Marin would tell them because he suddenly thought of the "little carrot head" mentioned in the Chinese language book in his previous life... If you tell the truth, you would be beaten by the violent Felice...
"Hehe, boy, I hope you can become the pope in the future! With your grandfather's care, it's not difficult to enthrone a cardinal. Then, my father, I will prepare 1 million Ducat gold coins for you. If you don't believe it, you won't be able to smash a pope back..." Looking at the stubborn little guy, Marin thought proudly. Caesar inherited the throne and Robert became the pope. Moreover, these two guys are their own sons, so that feeling is very exciting to think about it. However, the great Roman Catholic Church will also welcome their first Pope...
"Pope Radish First Life...haha..." Looking at the terrifying Robert Jr. in Felis' arms, Marin almost laughed out loud.
After saying goodbye to his family and his left-behind subordinates, Marin led a 12,000 army and 10,000 people and 30 people with short-bodied Karen set out.
Unlike the dozen 18-pound short-barrel Karen heavy cannons used in Denmark before, the craftsmen in the casting gun factory have made a 24-pound Karen cannon. Moreover, its total weight is very light, only 750 kilograms. If 30 24-pound Karen cannons are powerful together, ordinary oak city gates will not be able to bear it.
In order to confuse others, Marin ordered that the appearance of Karen cannons be painted with copper paint, which made people mistakenly think that it was a copper cannon. Let me ask, how many countries in Europe now have the financial resources to build so many heavy copper cannons? Whoever had an arms race with Marin and believed that Marin used copper cannons to be destroyed, would definitely be bankrupt...
In addition, because the Bishops of Münster and Bishops of Osnabrück were supported by the Holy See and Archbishops of Cologne, they never thought that any vassal state would dare to attack them. Therefore, they had no intention of replacing the iron gate.
When Marin led his army into the Bishops of Beiminster, the army here was unprepared. Moreover, the Beiminster area seemed to be a remote area of ​​Bishops of Muminster, and the development efforts were not enough, and there were not even a few cities. Even if there were, they were all micro-cities that were not much bigger than the town, and there were no cities at all.
