The Rise of the European Emperor

Just as Art's fleet sailed on the Mediterranean, Marin returned with a full harvest...

This time to Italy, Marin can be described as a rewarding experience. First of all, Marin mixed up the title of "Honorary Knight of Rome" to let people know that he had lent troops to the Holy See, which paved the way for the later change of the Bishopric of Munster.

Then, through Maximilian I, he stabbed France in the back. Because, as far as Marin knew, after he had met with Maximilian I, Maximilian I arranged for a messenger to return early the next morning, obviously to inform Ludovico, who was in exile in Switzerland. . Sforza went.

Ludovico Sforza had a moderate reputation in the Duchy of Milan, but the French rule in Milan was even worse. In this "who is worse than who" comparison, Ludovico Sforza won, taking the French with a relatively unfavorable reputation. If he brought troops back, there would still be quite a few people willing to cooperate with him. At least, he will not make the citizens of Milan angry. Even, he has contributed a lot to the prosperity of the Principality of Milan in the past few decades.

In addition, Marin also hired dozens of high-level perfumers from his father-in-law Julius II. As long as there are enough fragrances, these perfumers can make a lot of fragrances to supply market demand. In addition, you can also get some toilet water to drive away mosquitoes and adapt to the needs of tropical colonies. This is the most important thing.

Grenada is the first tropical colony carefully selected by Marin. The island has no poisonous mosquitoes and no poisonous snakes and beasts. It is an ideal tropical colony for "beginners".

However, other tropical regions are different, even in relatively good areas like Cuba Island, there are poisonous snakes and venomous insects. And Panama is a "hell on earth", where poisonous insects are rampant. There is no means of repelling mosquitoes and insects, and the colonists are definitely going to deliver vegetables.

And with the mosquito repellent toilet water, Marin is equivalent to opening an invincible plug-in, no longer afraid of any tropical poisonous snakes and insects, and boldly colonizes. If you go to other countries, a lot of people will die.

With these three huge gains, when Marin left Rome, his face was full of smiles, and he couldn't take it.

However, there are regrets. Julius II regretfully told Marin,

Although he copied the main house of the Borgia family in Rome, he did not find the formula of the strange poison "Cantrella", only 10 servings of "Cantrella" poison were found. However, this poison is afraid of water, and it is only valid for 5 years. It is said that the formula of this strange poison is only in the hands of the owner and heir of the Borgia family. In the past, many poisons were prepared by Alexander VI himself, and many were prepared by Caesar Borgia.

Unfortunately, Caesar Borgia escaped, and Julius II lost the opportunity to obtain the "Cantrella" formula.

However, Julius II was a dignified "God of War Pope", and it was a pity that he could not get the formula of "Cantrera", but he would not feel particularly pity. Only Marin, a guy who is good at intrigue, would feel sorry for not being able to get the recipe.

Julius II entrusted Marin with the task of assassinating Caesar Borgia. What he means is that if you kill Caesar Borgia, then the poisonous formula of "Cantrella" will be lost. In that case, there would be no deeds in the world in which people were harmed with this horrific poison.

The reason why Julius II hated Caesar Borgia so much was not because of political hostility. It was because, when Alexander VI was on the throne, Alexander VI and Caesar Borgia murdered a group of members of the Rovere family, which made the Rovere family now green and yellow, except for Julius II himself. There are no more pillars of the proper year.

This situation caused the Rovere family to decline rapidly after the death of Julius II. Leo X, who succeeded Julius II as the Pope of the Medici family, passed away after the transition of Pope Adrian VI of the Netherlands, and was immediately replaced by Clement VII, who also came from the Medici family. Shi took over and continued to occupy the position of the Pope, allowing the Medici family to develop to its peak.

If there is still an important member of the Rovere family in his prime, even if Julius II cannot arrange him as the next pope, he can be arranged as a cardinal of the Roman Cardinals. With the Cardinal Archbishop on it, the Rovere family will not decline.

It is a pity that after the pursuit and killing of Alexander VI and his son, the Rovere family has no strong men who can do it, only some old and weak women and children are left. Although there were several little boys, Julius II knew that he could not wait for those little boys to grow up and support them in the upper positions.

Therefore, the decline of the Rovere family was unavoidable, which made Julius II deeply hate Alexander VI and his son, and gave birth to the idea of ​​​​killing Caesar Borgia.

However, in order to unite the rest of the Holy See, Julius II had to pretend to be generous and pardoned Caesar, so that everyone could see his "broad-mindedness".

At the same time, Julius II demanded that Marin, even if he sent someone to assassinate Caesar Borgia, must choose to do it three years later. At that time, after a long time, no one would think that Julius II sent someone to do it. Anyway, the Borgia family is full of enemies...

In the original history, Caesar Borgia did inexplicably die in a small battle in 1507. It is said that someone bribed the upper echelons of Spain and deliberately sold Caesar Borgia so that he died inexplicably.

...

Because the harvest was in full swing, Marin knew that Spain would attack after the harvest. However, in order for Spain to quickly drive the French away, Malin specially sent his entourage, holding his handwritten letter, to bypass the French line of defense and go to Gonzalo de Cordoba.

In the letter, Marin promised to lend him 10 bronze heavy artillery when he returned. Of course, the Spanish army can also buy it.

At the same time, Marin also explained to Gonzalo in detail how he captured the Danish city in two or three days when he was in Denmark. The French have not yet used iron gates. Using Marin's "shelling + powder keg blasting" method, it is easy to contribute to the city occupied by the French army and say that the French army will defeat it.

Gonzalo de Córdoba attached great importance to Marin's letter, quickly responded positively, and expressed his willingness to wait for Marin's artillery to arrive before launching a general attack. To this end, he adjusted his tactics and planned to defeat the French army in one fell swoop in the subsequent siege battle and take the entire kingdom of Naples.

After receiving a positive response from Gonzalo, Marin was delighted. As long as the Spaniards beat the French away. By then, the Florentine Republic had become a "wild child" without a backer. At that time, Stade will be able to lead the 7,000 East Frisian army to capture the Republic of Florence, and then exchange it with the Holy See for the Bishopric of Munster...
