The Rise of the European Emperor

How to "instruct" Martin Luther? Of course, a powerful spy was sent to contact Martin Luther and instilled into Martin Luther in advance the six contents of the original history of Martin Luther's religious reform.

Now, Martin Luther is almost a priest. Although young, he is a serious student in the early 16th century, graduated from the University of Erfurt in Thuringia, and is a top student in the Department of Philosophy. What is philosophy? It's about thinking deep philosophies. Students in this subject are good at thinking. Therefore, Martin Luther thought about it, came up with so many new ideas, and came up with the religious reform.

Anyway, Martin Luther's foundation is very thick and very smart. Wanting to fool such people is much harder than fooling those serfs. Therefore, Marin needs to dispatch a spy with good knowledge, at least he must have a common language with Martin Luther and be able to chat. Only then can he slowly influence him and let him have the idea of ​​religious reform.

After thinking about it, Marlin found that only James Bond (that is, Jim) seemed to meet such conditions. Because, Jim, has a super memory and super learning ability. If it weren't for the humble background, it would be a proper material for a great scholar.

Before, in order to be a good spy, Marin arranged for Jim to learn a few foreign languages ​​and let him read a lot of books. Among them is the Bible. Therefore, it is most appropriate to let him go out and fool Martin Luther. In any case, Martin Luther is just a young monk who has just graduated from college and has just joined the church, and his thinking is not very mature. At this time, sending Jim to fool him, the success rate is still quite high.

However, this task is very difficult and very long. Because, he needs Jim to make up to become a monk and stay with Martin Luther for several years, so as to slowly influence Martin Luther.

Marin didn't know whether Jim would like it or not, so he called Jim over and asked him what he wanted. In fact, as a spy under Marlin, how could Jim refuse? However, Marin was able to take the initiative to ask his wishes, which was already very face-saving. Jim naturally agreed, and Marin was very happy.

As for how to get Jim to Martin Luther? That's not too simple. Don't forget that Marin's father-in-law is the Pope. In Germany, it may be difficult to arrange an archbishop. However, it's not too easy to create a fake resume for Jim and then introduce him to the church where Martin Luther was...

Even Marin planned to arrange Jim and Martin Luther to live in a suite, giving them the chance to get along day and night. In this way, it is convenient for Jim to fool Martin Luther anytime, anywhere...

After waiting for a few years, and then through the help and bribes of Julius II, Martin Luther and Jim were sent to Wittenberg, the capital of the electorate of Saxony, and arranged for the two to meet Martin Luther. Important leader - William Oakham of the Augustin Society. Oakham's emphasis on the freedom of God and the autonomy of man had a great influence on Martin Luther. Coupled with Jim's usual flickering and persuasion,

Martin Luther was easy to get into.

In addition, Marin also intends to find opportunities to arrange some tricks to reveal the darkness of the Holy See to the young and innocent Martin Luther, making him disgusted with Catholicism and further stimulating his ideas of religious reform. Of course, not too much. It would be bad if the stimulation was too severe and Martin Luther quit the club directly...

...

Speaking of the German Reformation, Martin Luther is a well-deserved protagonist. Of course, supporting roles are also indispensable. Such as Frederick III, and the very important Pope Leo X...

Leo X played a major role in this religious reform. Martin Luther probably wouldn't have erupted against Catholicism so early without Leo X sending people to sell the indulgence in the German region.

It is undeniable that Leo X is a greedy pope who is more thirsty for money. It was his greed that stimulated Martin Luther to start the religious reformation.

But Leo X was not a murderous pope either. Although he also resented Martin Luther, he did not have the idea of ​​burning Martin Luther as a heretic. Had he encountered a strong pope, Martin Luther would have been suppressed long ago. At least, would be wanted all over Europe. It was because of the connivance of Leo X that Martin Luther survived and completed the Reformation.

Therefore, Marin believed that a greedy and weak pope like Leo X was very much needed by Martin Luther's Reformation.

Thinking of this, Marin officially decided to support Leo X to become the next pope...

Don't underestimate Marin's influence, he is the son-in-law of the current Pope, and has a great influence on Pope Julius II. With Marin helping to speak, the success rate of Leo X's succession will be greatly improved.

Moreover, Marin had an idea, that is-let Leo X put out the "exemption" in advance, so as to further stimulate Martin Luther.

As for how to operate? This is simple, as long as Marin suggested to let Leo X handle religious affairs in Germany. Then, Marin suggested to Leo X to come up with this indemnity in advance.

Leo X is very greedy for money, and this suggestion from Marin will definitely suit his appetite. Also, Julius II would not object.

why? Because there is income from selling the indemnity charms in the German region... Although Leo X will be greedy for a lot of ink, many of them will definitely be sent to Rome and given to Julius II. Julius II has always had the ambition to unify Italy, and to unify Italy, a large number of troops are indispensable. And a large-scale army needs a lot of money to maintain, so as long as Leo X can get money, Julius II will definitely turn a blind eye.

Moreover, the sale of the amulet of immunity is not forcibly robbing the money of the common people. It is just a deception. It will not arouse public anger.

Thinking of this, Marin decided to write a secret letter to his Pope's father-in-law, suggesting that he hand over German religious affairs to the still young Leo X to handle.

Of course, Marin asked Julius II to specifically mention that he suggested it when he promoted and reused Leo X. In this way, Leo X will owe his favor. In the future, even if Julius II dies, Leo X takes over and will accept his own feelings.

Then, Marin will deliberately befriend Leo X, and inadvertently suggest that he use the method of selling "exemption charms" to collect money in Germany and send it to Rome to win the favor of Julius II...

This method can not only make Leo X rich, but also allow the Holy See to get a lot of money. Although it is a bit of a loss, it is a good thing for the Holy See. Moreover, if Leo X can get a lot of money to send to the Holy See through this method, it will be considered a meritorious service. In this way, Julius II has all the more reason to pass the pope to him. Of course, the pope is elected, and the cultivation of Julius II can only increase the odds of his succession. But if Leo X made enough money in Germany, he could bribe those cardinals in elections. Moreover, Marin also intends to give generously at that time to help advance some to make friends with the new pope...

It is conceivable that with Jim's flickering and instilling the mature plan of the religious reform in advance, as well as the early cooperation of the number one supporting actor Leo X, then the religious reform will definitely break out in advance. Even religious wars will break out in advance...

In this way, Marin doesn't have to wait until the seventies and eighties to fight religious wars...
