Chapter 491： Ventilation report

In this informal meeting of Worms, a total of more than one hundred dozen princes came, of which a considerable part was religious princes. In fact, as far as the entire "Anti-Emperor Alliance" is concerned, the most determined anti-Emperor alliance is mainly those secular princes. Because what the emperor really wants to deprive is mainly the rights of secular princes.

Religious princes, because they belong to the Holy See, are transcended from the world, and they are not too worried about how the emperor treats them. After all, the emperor needed the pope to crown him. At the same time, he was also afraid of being punished by the pope. Therefore, the emperor could not just move religious princes.

However, these religious princes are not from the civilian class, and most of them come from the sons of those secular princes who have no inheritance rights. Therefore, in order to protect their own interests, religious princes joined this anti-imperial alliance, but they were not as firm as secular princes.

Just like this time Frederick III tried to use all the princes and called on all German princes to send troops to defeat Marin, and was rejected by the religious princes. Just kidding, Marin is a celebrity in front of the pope. If he was moved, he would definitely anger the pope. The Pope is not the boss of the secular princes, but the boss of the religious princes ... relatives and friends of the boss's family, dare you beat him?

Moreover, Archbishop Hou Kelong, the first religious prince who opposed the use of troops against Marin, also had his own small nine or nine.

As one of the seven electors of Germany, Hermann IV is also an old politician and will not be fooled casually. After all, every religious prince was elected after defeating many competitors. It was too stupid to have been eliminated. Therefore, the religious princes have an average IQ higher than that of the secular princes who lie down to inherit the title.

Herman IV had long seen it, and after taking on the new thick thigh of His Majesty Pope, Marin no longer needed to continue as the thug of Emperor Maximilian I.

And, an important point is-Marin's identity has changed ...

Marin transformed from a pure thug under Maximilian I into a prince.

What are princes? It is the local emperor. Since it is the emperor of the earth, naturally he does not like being ruled too much by the true emperor. Therefore, Herman IV knew that from the moment Marin became Earl of East Friesland, Marin's identity and position changed.

As a prince who dominates the kingdom, he is certainly not willing to give power to the emperor. Moreover, Marin is a wise man, it is impossible not to understand the truth that the other princes are finished, and the prince of Marin will also die together ... |

Apply a popular online quote from later generations-"Ass determines the head" ...

This means that when you are in a different position, your position and starting point for thinking will change accordingly. For example, when a person is an ordinary person and after he becomes a big man, his position on thinking about problems must be quite different.

For example, as a buyer, I am sure that the house price is very low, or even give away in vain. And a real estate seller who sells a house wants to see house prices rise to the sky and break through the sky. The same person, when you buy a house, is a psychology, and if you become a real estate agent, your position will be completely opposite.

Although Herman IV had never heard the famous saying "Ass decides the head", but he was also very clear-Marin has changed from an emperor's thug to an autonomous prince. The change in identity made Marin no longer look like the emperor's only one.

An obvious phenomenon is-Marin began to understand the expansion of the territory. The expansion of the territory is a prince's only thinking, as a pure thug, it will not think of these.

For example, after winning the Lübeck battle this time, Marin chose to go north instead of south, which is the best proof. Because people with a clear eye know that if Marin's army goes south to Saxony and Brandenburg, even if they can get the benefits, they will certainly be restrained. This is because these two princely states are all German electoral states with great influence. Even if Marin brought troops into these two countries, he could not just come in disorder, and it was impossible to destroy these two countries.

Northbound Denmark is different. Denmark is not a German. Even if it is bullied by Marin, except for Saxony and Brandenburg who have an in-law relationship with the Danish royal family, other princes will not care about the life and death of Denmark.

Even, Herman IV had a feeling-this time Denmark will definitely be cut off a large piece of meat. It may even be robbed of a throne. After all, in the hands of the Danish royal family, it is in charge of the two thrones-the Danish throne and the Norwegian throne.

The Danish throne is unlikely. If Marin dares to grab it, it may touch the sensitive nerves of European countries. However, even if the Kingdom of Norway, a kingdom with a weak sense of existence, is robbed of the throne by Marin, other countries may not take it seriously. Because, after all, Norway is a wild land in the north. It ca n’t grow land, but can only graze and fish. Because potatoes suitable for growing in cold regions have not yet been introduced, there is currently no planting industry in Norway. Therefore, in the eyes of European countries, Norway is a wild place, just like the kingdom. Even this kingdom was established during the Viking pirates. At that time, Viking pirates were arrogant. Regarding the establishment of the kingdom by the Vikings, other countries dare not have opinions.

However, as time went on, Viking pirates declined. Now in Norway, if there is no title of kingdom and you want to upgrade to a kingdom, other countries may not recognize it. You should know that even a powerful country like Lithuania is only a Grand Duchy and cannot be promoted to a kingdom. Therefore, the throne of the Kingdom of Norway is really well-deserved.

Therefore, Herman IV judged that Marin was probably trying to **** the Norwegian crown. Otherwise, it will not go north first.

And snatching the crown of Norway means that Marin has a self-reliance and it is impossible to help Maximilian I to reunify Germany. By that time, Marin had become a foreign monarch. Speaking of the same level as Maximilian I, only half a level lower, is it necessary to be a child for Maximilian I? Obviously impossible ...

...

It is based on this judgment that Herman IV did not believe in Frederick III's ignorance. Coupled with the Pope's relationship, he directly stood up and rejected the proposal to beat Marin.

Moreover, deep inside, Hermann IV was also jealous of Frederick III. Although they are also electors, Archbishop Cologne does not have the real power of Archbishop Mainz, nor is Frederick III as prestigious in the secular electors.

Strictly speaking, Archbishop Hermann IV of Cologne was very jealous of Frederick III's appeal among the princes. Moreover, Frederick III also wanted to flick the princes to work for him free of charge, organized a group to fight Marin, apparently regarded others as fools.

Therefore, Herman IV was reluctant to ignore Frederick III.

After the meeting, Herman IV thought for the middle of the night, and then he recruited his men:

"Colin ~ www.novelhall.com ~ I have a secret task to give you!"

Colin was a close servant of Herman IV, and he was the confidant that Herman IV brought from Hessen. In general, things that are hard to see are left to Herman IV to do.

"Master, please tell me!" Colin said respectfully.

"After dawn, you arranged for two groups of men and women to go south to Rome all the way, and report to the Majesty the Pope that the German princes were about to marry Malin.

"The other way north, go and notify Marin in Denmark!"

"This ... Master, if they are known by other princes, they will be unhappy ..." Colin said hesitantly.

"So I asked you to do this! Remember, choose reliable people, don't leak it!"

"Yes!" Colin turned and left to arrange.

The reason why Herman IV is so is because he intends to please the pope. Because Herman IV knew that he was old, and God knew he could live for a few more years. Therefore, he intends to cultivate a rising star in the family, develop in the religious world, and best become a religious prince. In this way, not only can he become a **** ally of the Hessian country, but also benefit the Hessian family. Just as he became Archbishop of Cologne, he made a fortune for the Hessen family. Although most of the property is still in his own hands. But wasn't he all from the Hessen family when he died?

He pleased the Pope this time, in order to allow the Pope to take care of a monk descendant selected by the Hessian family-his cousin named Frederick. This time he sold the Pope a face, and the Pope would definitely retaliate, accelerating the promotion of his junior. It is best to promote his cousin to the position of bishop before the death of the current pope. In this way, even if he died, the influence of the Hessian family in the religious world will continue, and the Hessian country will have good allies and help ...
