King of German Mercenaries

Chapter 55: Typified by trees

Considering that many princes may not take the emperor into their eyes, it is basically impossible to execute the emperor's order. At the suggestion of Marin, Maximilian I also wrote to the Pope to allow the pope to advocate abstinence throughout Europe for some time. Because the infection of syphilis is spread by messing around. If everyone abstinence, there will be no channel for transmission of syphilis.

After finishing this matter, Maximilian I also admired Marin very much. This little guy, about the same size as Prince Philip, not only helped him defeat the impeccable Frenchman in Italy, gave him trophies worth more than one million gold coins, but also helped him to suppress a plague (syphilis) outbreak.

After thinking about it, Maximilian I decided to conduct an extensive publicity throughout the empire. Along with the syphilis ban, promote Marin's "advanced deeds."

Marin was originally a young man who was not even a knight. After a few months of helping his emperor to fight, he was named a baron with independent territory because of his military achievements. Such stories are absolutely very inspirational in this era.

This matter is also equivalent to tell everyone in disguise-come on, serve for the emperor, the benefits are great!

The big aristocrats who broke the soil in the Shinra Empire, except for the Swabian Alliance and Albrecht, Duke of Saxony (not the Saxon Elector, but the brother of the Saxon Elector), basically everyone Stand on the opposite side of the emperor.

Therefore, the emperor needs an emerging force to break this situation. The birth of Marin turned the emperor into a propaganda spot.

Maximilian I in the Habsburg family, can be considered more wise and promising. Many people think that Charles V is the most capable monarch of the Habsburgs, but in fact, when Charles V took office, he controlled Spain, a large money bag with a large amount of American gold and silver, and of course he was full of confidence.

You know, at that time, in Europe, mercenaries were the mainstream, and whoever had the money could do things. Charles V, sitting on the large gold mine of the Spanish colonial empire, naturally had enough money to hire enough troops to hang out across Europe. And, at that time, the Spanish Pentagon was just as popular. And Spain's gold and silver, and Spain's large square, were not created by Charles V, but existed. Even Charles V was able to inherit the Spanish throne, because Maximilian I let his son Philip marry "mad girl" Juana. Therefore, Charles V's ability is not a good comment.

But Maximilian I was different. When he ascended the throne, the Habsburgs were in a stormy weather. His father, Frederick III, fought with Hungary, and lost half of Austria. And his father-in-law's bold Charlie, fighting with France, lost his life ...

So, he took over the second mess between Austria and Burgundy. Under these circumstances, Maximilian I decisively abandoned the ancient military system mobilized by Caiyi and switched to the new mercenary system, which made the Habsburg family cost 15,000 without spending much. The powerful infantry and 1500 knights also consolidated the imperial power of the Habsburgs.

Therefore, Maximilian I was the most important founder of the Hapsburg family to monopolize the imperial power of the Holy Roman Empire for 300 years. Charles V can only be counted as a surviving emperor.

As a more capable monarch, Maximilian I's vision is not bad. He could see Marin's superior ability, so he was relatively kind to Marin. Before that, Marin bargained with him and didn't think he was embarrassed, and he was willing to talk to him. If another knight dared to drag so much with Maximilian I, it would have been beaten out by the Austrian royal knights.

Of course, the inspirational story of Marin's success under his Majesty, the Emperor feels that it can definitely inspire those young and promising young people to come to serve the Emperor. Therefore, Maximilian I decisively established Marin as a positive model and publicized it ...

Facts have proved that the emperor's vision is very good. What people love most is the inspirational stories of these young heroes. The story of Marin relying on 4,000 men and defeating 8,000 well-equipped French knights soon became known in the Principality of Austria, and began to spread in the Burgundy region, and then spread throughout the Holy Roman Empire.

反 The big aristocrats who were against the emperor could not stop the spread of Marin's legend in the empire. Because, they have no reason to stop the spread and spread of the deeds of young heroes like Marin. But they knew that this matter was good for the emperor ...

Sure enough, after propaganda, many young people in Austria and Swabian region regarded Marin as their idol. In this era, there aren't many stars and young people don't know who to worship. As for the emperors and dukes, they are too high and too far away from young people.

马 Marin is different. He is also a young man, even a 17-year-old boy, or a boy from a bottom knight family. He is very “grounded”. In Marin's success stories, they seem to see their future ...

听说 After hearing Marin's inspirational story, many young homeless knights in Austria gave up the idea of ​​serving the nobles and went directly to Vienna to find Maximilian I ...

他们 In their opinion, it is also a homeless knight. Marin, a 17-year-old child, can succeed. Why can't I? Even if it is not as good as Marin, it is possible to mix up the official title of Imperial Knight. Because most of the wandering knights are trainee knights, they are not really knights. Only a knight who has been sealed off can be considered a true nobleman. The trainee knight can only be regarded as an elite warrior, not a nobleman.

In a short time, the emperor recruited 500 wandering knights from all over Austria to come to Vienna to make the emperor happy.

Be aware that before the Spanish formations appeared, muskets were not a military standard weapon. And the Cavaliers have not been suppressed by the muskets and gradually withdrew from the stage of history.

Therefore, in this era, the Cavaliers are still more popular "technical workers." Maximilian I was able to recruit 500 more knights, which was a bumper harvest.

Because there are many knights in the Holy Roman Empire, there are also many nobles. Regardless of the emperor and duke, there are many knights who serve the count, viscount, and baron.

The emperor himself, because of his poor financial situation, caused many knights to be unwilling to serve his poor ghost emperor, which made him very depressed.

Now, stimulated by Marin's inspirational story, many young knights are hot and willing to loyal to the emperor.

但是 Not only those wandering knights, but also many strong young people who are struggling with their livelihoods, they have also developed the idea of ​​being a soldier to eat food. In particular, Marin's men, those young men who returned home with hundreds of gold coins. They went to Italy, built a house and bought a field after they went home, married a beautiful daughter-in-law, and reached the pinnacle of life ... This is a living advertisement ...

As a result, many poor young people are also eager to go to Vienna to join the emperor. They also want to make a lot of money and embark on the peak of life like their predecessors ~ www.readwn.com ~ Welcome the book readers to read, the latest and most The fastest and hottest serial works are at ~ www.readwn.com ~ Please read for mobile users.
