Looking at Maximilian I, who was smiling into a chrysanthemum face, Marin felt a little emotional-who said that this guy was "the last knight king"? In the face of huge interests, hasn't this guy succumbed to blackening?

"Wait... blackening... I seem to have been blackened a long time ago..." Marin was a little annoyed, feeling that he was getting more and more sinister and dark.

However, if you think about it carefully, this is also impossible. In the previous life, I was just a small employee, and I didn't even have the ability to do bad things if I wanted to be blackened. If you violate the law, you are afraid of being shot...

But this life is different. He was born in a shameless and chaotic era-the Pope (Alexander VI) took the lead in poisoning and killing people, and the German nobles fought against each other. If he still maintained the innocence of the previous life, he would have been swallowed to the bone. The environment can make a person very good. If you stay in a small mountain village all your life, do not contact the outside world, do not watch TV or listen to the radio, you may be very simple. However, as long as you come to the city and enter the world of mortals, you will inevitably suffer from various problems. If you want to stand out, you will even have to be blackened. Even if I was a relatively simple self in my previous life, I encountered a situation where two once very good candidates completely turned against each other in order to compete for the position of department manager in the company.

This is a real world, not a fantasy world where one person and one sword can suppress the heavens. In this ordinary world, even powerful generals like Lu Bu, Guan Yu, and Dian Wei will die of conspiracy and tricks, let alone a leader-level martial artist like Marin? Therefore, if he wants to have a future, he must walk into the darkness and carry forward...

Just like the "old chrysanthemum" Maximilian I, known as the "King of Knights", didn't he abandon his principles in the face of super profits like the two kingdoms? As a monarch, you can't think for nothing. Unless, you are willing to be overthrown and killed...

...

To be honest, if Marin hadn't only had Caesar as his son, he would have wanted his other son to marry the Kingdom of Bohemia. such a pity……

Although the combined area of ​​Bohemia and the Kingdom of Hungary is much larger than that of England, the population is also much larger. But it is obviously not good to face the problem of Turkey. No matter how strong the national power is, it can't help fighting against a stronger enemy. Therefore, Marin chose to marry Caesar to the only princess in England instead of the Bohemian princess.

Marin felt lost when he gave Bohemia and Hungary to Maximilian I. On the contrary, Maximilian I was very happy at this time. That's two kingdoms, it's reasonable to wear two crowns first. And with strength, he can still compete with Emperor Shenluo and wear another crown... The happiest thing is that Bohemia, Hungary and Austria are connected together, and it is very convenient to rule.

Unlike the current Austria and the Netherlands, although they belong to the same family, they are too far apart and are not easy to manage.

In a good mood, Maximilian I discussed with Marin the issue of continuing to send troops to Siena:

"Marin, do you think I still need to participate in the next siege of Siena?" In fact, from these words, it can be heard that he is not willing to participate in the siege of Siena, which is a very costly battle. . However, he is here to cooperate with the acting, so he has to act in a full set.

Moreover, Marin did not want Maximilian I to contribute too much and share his credit. Of course, it doesn't seem right to play without Maximilian I...

So, Marin thought for a while and said:

"Your Majesty, your mission has actually been completed, and you can wait to be crowned the real emperor."

Hearing this, Maximilian I was very happy. Emperor, that was the title he dreamed of. Although it is said that he has been elected emperor a long time ago, without being crowned by Rome, he can only be called the king of Germany and the king of the Roman people, not the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. Only when it is internal, everyone respectfully calls him emperor. But when he encountered uncooperative opposition, he was called His Majesty the King, which made him very helpless.

It's just that Marin fought the battle to capture the city of Cladikofani, and Maximilian I acted as a spectator. This made His Majesty the emperor very embarrassed, so Maximilian I also planned to brush up his presence:

"How about I take the soldiers to Siena for a walk?" Maximilian I planned to take the soldiers outside Siena to show off his presence and scare the defenders in the city. Although it doesn't take much effort, it's good to scare the Siena people.

Marin frowned and said:

"Your Majesty, you don't know that the city of Siena is surrounded by mountains and the terrain is narrow. Even if your 20,000 troops go there, there is no place to camp..."

What Marin said was true. The city of Siena was originally in the mountains and valleys, and there was no flat land in the first place. The Fourth Army and Marin's Mountain Infantry Corps are already crowded outside the city of Siena, and if 20,000 people from Austria pass by, there is probably no place to station...

"However, I'm here to help attack Siena in name, if Siena's siege doesn't work at all, it's a bit unreasonable..."

Marin suddenly realized that the other party just wanted to put on a show. So, he gave an idea——

"Or, you can send 5,000 soldiers and horses to go with you. At that time, your 5,000 soldiers and horses will be in charge of the south gate, and there is no need to besiege, as long as the enemy does not break out from here. Five thousand people guard the mountain road outside the south gate Basically, it should be enough. At that time, my people can concentrate on attacking the northwest and northeast gates!"

The emperor's 5,000 soldiers and horses are enough to guard the mountain road in the south, and playing the flag of Austria can also put greater psychological pressure on the defenders in the city. Therefore, Marin finally decided-let Austria send 5,000 people to play a cameo...

"Five thousand people... can also..."

In this way, Maximilian I allocated five thousand soldiers and horses, and followed Marin's large army to attack the city of Siena. As for Maximilian I, he took another 15,000 troops and stayed in the city of Radicofani to rest, and waited to go to Rome to be crowned.

The 5,000 soldiers who were sent out were actually Austrian soldiers, the real elite among the 20,000 soldiers. Although they didn't have to storm the city of Siena, the task of guarding the main road on the south mountain road of the city was also very heavy. If the Siena army is desperate to attack the camp, it will also need to be repulsed. If defeated by the Siena army, Austria will also be embarrassed. Therefore, Maximilian I simply sent five thousand strongest soldiers to besiege the city.

But before leaving Radicofani, someone suddenly reported:

"Grand Duke, Mezio, Manager of the Florence Branch of the North Sea Chamber of Commerce Italian Branch, please see me!"

"The manager of the Florence branch?" Marin frowned. It can be seen from the title that this guy is a manager in charge of trade. Because, in the Beihai Chamber of Commerce, only those who are in charge of trade will have the title of manager. If it's an intelligence officer, it should be the team leader or something. If it is not an intelligence officer, it should not be here to report important information. So, what is this guy here for? Is he here to flatter?

Marin really guessed right, Manager Mechio is here to flatter. He learned that the big backstage boss of the chamber of commerce had come here, and he had conquered the grand pass of Radicofani. At this time, he happened to escort a batch of goods to Rome for loading on a ship near Radicofani. Therefore, Mezio, who is good at drilling, decided to enter Radicofani and flatter the boss of the main backstage. Anyway, the big boss has just won a grand pass, so he should be full of ambitions. At this time, flattering him in the past should make him happy. Maybe, I can go one step further, even half a step...

In fact, Mechio really missed it. Because Marin has no interest in flatterers. However, after hearing what Mechio had done, Marin immediately became excited:

"What did you say? This Mecchio is in charge of purchasing sulfuric acid in Florence?"

"Yes, listen to him. There are several alchemists in Florence who know how to make sulfuric acid. Mezio is mainly responsible for purchasing the finished sulfuric acid from these alchemists in Florence and sending it to Rome every three months. Ship it near Rome and ship it back to the North Sea country..." the guard replied. Indeed, when Marin was making smokeless gunpowder, he felt that there was not enough sulfuric acid, so he ordered people to go to various parts of Europe to find sulfuric acid alchemists who knew how to make sulfuric acid to buy finished sulfuric acid. And Italy is a region with many alchemists. Apparently, this Mecchio was the minor responsible for the acquisition and delivery of finished sulfuric acid in Florence.

"Sulfuric acid...sulphuric acid...Iron City Gate...haha, please come in!" Marin laughed loudly, and asked his guards to invite Manager Mechio, who was in charge of delivering sulfuric acid, to come in...
