The Rise of the European Emperor

? Speaking of which, Maximilian I is also quite sad. The dignified Holy Roman Emperor, how famous is his name? However, it is a poor ratio...

Speaking of Maximilian I, Marin always unconsciously thinks of Zhou Tianzi in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, who is equally poor. After the demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty, after the death of King Zhou Ping, who moved the capital to Luoyang, he had no money for a funeral, so he had to send someone to the State of Lu to ask for it...

Of course, His Majesty the Emperor is a little better than Zhou Tianzi. In any case, the Habsburg family still has the basic plate of Austria, and later acquired the Netherlands and the Franche-Comté region through marriage. In itself, he is a powerful prince. Unlike Zhou Tianzi, only the land around Luojing is left.

However, the Habsburgs maintained a strong army as they sought to expand and gain real power. For this reason, although the Habsburg family has a lot of financial income, a lot of it goes to the mercenary army. In addition, considering the large number of internal branches of the Habsburg family, they all have to share a piece of the pie. As a result, the Habsburgs became poor. Maximilian I, the emperor, also became the emperor of the poorer...

How poor was Maximilian I? Originally, the reason why he died in 1519 was to go out to avoid debts. As a result, after arriving in Innsbruck, where his daily palace is located, the citizens of Innsbruck refused to open the city gate to let him in because of the debt issue and the tension with the citizens of Innsbruck. In desperation, he had to live temporarily in a mountain hut at the foot of the Alps. However, it was January at that time... The poor Emperor Qianbi probably froze in the mountain hut and died of illness...

300,000 gold coins, for Marin, is nothing more than 3,000 rye from the Eugram cornfields. But for Emperor Maximilian I, who had little income, it was a lot of money.

...

Sure enough, when Marin sent someone to change horses along the way, quickly arrived in Innsbruck, and put forward Marin's conditions, Maximilian I, who was short of money, was moved.

However, he did not agree to Marin's conditions, but personally followed the messenger to Beihai Kingdom, intending to interview Marin. In order to be in a hurry, Maximilian I even, like the envoy of the North Sea Kingdom, passed through the post system set up by Marin himself, constantly changing horses along the way, and soon arrived in the territory of the North Sea Kingdom. And intends to continue to march into the province of Bremen in order to eliminate the Marin, the remnants of the aristocratic resistance...

"What? You want me to send troops to join forces with Frenzberg's army to destroy the allied army of princes?" After hearing the emperor's request, the teacup in Malin's hand almost fell to the ground.

Maximilian I seriously said:

"That's right, if you are willing to send troops to attack Frenzberg before and after, I think the coalition of tens of thousands of princes will surely be defeated! When those princes are finished,

When the time comes, let's carve up Germany together! "

Marin immediately had 10,000 MMPs to talk about - Nima, still carve up Germany? when i'm a fool?

Marin is very clear that the confrontation with Frenzberg in northern Switzerland is nothing but a group of secular princes led by Frederick III, not the full strength of the German princes at all.

What's more, even those secular princes who oppose the emperor, their potential has not been exhausted. For example, the Electorate of Saxony kept half of its troops on the mainland. Other secular princes who participated in the Allied army also kept their hands. Not to mention, those church princes basically didn't send much troops.

Marin was sure that if he wanted to unite the emperor to eliminate the allied forces of the princes, it would definitely cause a strong backlash from the princes of Germany. At that time, no matter which princes, they will give their best to their own strength. Because, if they don't work hard, they may be annexed by the emperor and lose most of their rights.

At that time, Marin and the Habsburg family army will never face the tens of thousands of coalition troops on the front line, but at least hundreds of thousands of troops.

What's more, if he really joins forces with the emperor, the French will have to end up desperately. Because, once Germany is unified, France will face a huge threat directly.

Although Germany is poorer, the Germans are more military than the French. A unified Germany is definitely a huge threat to France. Don't you see, after the reunification of Germany in later generations, it was a miserable thing to bully the French...

During the First World War, if it hadn't been for the fact that Britain sent a large number of nobles and cannon fodder to the battlefield to accompany the French to die, the Germans but the Western Front Corps would have defeated France and reproduced the shame of the Franco-Prussian War.

And the French are obviously aware of this, so once the emperor has the idea of ​​unifying Germany, the French will definitely stop it at all costs. At that time, Marin and the emperor will face not only the combined army of hundreds of thousands of princes, but also tens of thousands of elite French troops...

So, Marin rejected the emperor without hesitation:

"Your Majesty, this is impossible! If I dare to send an army to the south, those church princes who were originally neutral will definitely gather an army to confront us. Also, the French, who have always been enemies of the Habsburg family, will never see it. Your Majesty, you unified Germany. Therefore, we may face more than 200,000 troops at that time..."

In fact, the situation is not as bad as Marin said. As long as you act fast, destroy the coalition of tens of thousands of princes first, and capture those princes, you can take the initiative. At that time, even if the church princes reacted and sent troops, plus the French army, it would be too late.

Besides, if Marin had transferred the Sixth Army and the Fourth and Fifth Army in England to fight, he might not be able to defeat the enemy...

However, Marin won't be that stupid...

First of all, even if they can defeat their opponents, the price must be extremely huge, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Also, even if the allied forces of the princes were eliminated, what good would it be for Marin? After all, Marin is also a member of the princes. If the other princes are destroyed, then the next one to be destroyed is himself.

The butt determines the head, and Marin's identity determines that he can't really stand by the emperor to destroy those princes...

As for what the emperor said to divide the world equally with him, Marin, who had read a lot of history, did not believe it at all. He couldn't help thinking of the time when Liu Bang and Xiang Yu divided the border between Chu, Han and Han. 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 by no means a good gentleman. If the other princes are finished, the next one to be cleaned up will definitely be Beihai Kingdom...

Don't look at the strength of the Habsburg family now, but 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 North Sea country's military training method, so it is not a problem to train troops. The only trouble is that the Habsburgs have no money...

If Marin helped him conquer half of the country, the spoils alone would be able to make up for the lack of money for the Habsburg family. At that time, the Habsburg family will recruit more people, and they will have the ability to fight against the North Sea Kingdom...

...

After thinking about it, Marin politely refused:

"Your Majesty, there are only more than 20,000 ministers..." The subtext is - there is not enough manpower to go to waves and will not help...

After being silent for a while, Maximilian I said:

"Okay, I don't ask you to lead your troops and join me to destroy the allied forces of the princes. It is indeed possible to face the princes and the French in all of Germany. That... the loan of 300,000 Gulden gold coins..."

"Forget it! As long as you are willing to send troops to temporarily hold off the allied forces of the princes and prevent them from returning to the country. You don't need to share the victory or defeat with the opponent, just delay the opponent for a period of time and give us time to annex the 8 princely states!"

But Maximilian I didn't seem satisfied—

"What I mean is - can I borrow another 200,000 gold coins? After all, with so many troops now, I also feel very difficult..." Obviously, Maximilian I was sitting on the ground and raising the price. Of course, His Majesty the Emperor did not lie. During this period of time, in order to fight against the allied forces of the princes, the Habsburg family expanded their army aggressively, and indeed needed a lot of military spending to maintain the army...

Marin thought for a while, and felt that this was not a big problem. As long as he sends troops to capture 8 vassal states, a mere 200,000 gold coins is really nothing. Moreover, Maximilian I did not want, but borrowed. Although, this return date day knows when. However, this is better than Marin's hasty dispatch of troops to help the Habsburgs eliminate the princes...

So, Marin nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll say hello to Bank of Siena!"
