Chapter 535： Let me be fair

()

() & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Those German princes who were irritated by Marin's "Great Truth" stood up and accused Marin Road:

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "What are you talking about? We are the only aristocrats in the Holy Roman Empire, the only empire in Europe. Of course, they have the most say in European affairs!"

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Yeah yeah, we are important figures in the Holy Roman Empire and have the right to express our opinions on European affairs!"

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "You are a little guy, the hair is not even, and dare to question our authority!"

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Yes, we are the most distinguished!"

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Marin looked down on these princes who jumped up and down. After they finished their trouble, Marin suddenly said:

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "I admit that you are all great aristocrats of the Holy Roman Empire. However, our great emperor of the Holy Roman Empire has not yet expressed his opinion, what are you doing? Do you want to rebel and want to replace your emperor?" , Marin looked at Emperor Maximilian I sitting on the podium ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp In fact, Maximilian I was very happy to see Marin and these nobles. Why? These nobles would marry him if they did not marry him. They and Marin had been fighting each other, and naturally they had no time to worry about themselves. So, he was happy to watch Marin help him share the firepower.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp saw Marin shift the target to his head, Maximilian I did not want to get involved. However, he still hopes to see Marin and the princes fighting each other. So he coughed and said:

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "I am the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, only in the German region. Things in the Danish region ... I can't control ..."

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp's words Hongguo beat the faces of the German princes who thought they were "all things can be managed"-the emperor of your family can't control it, but your princes are all in one place ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Frederick III saw that the princes were speechless by the combination of Marin and Maximilian I, so he quickly came out to save the road:

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "They do not manage the affairs of Denmark in the name of individuals, but in the name of the members of the Holy Roman Empire ..."

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp The Holy Roman Empire Council, that is the first authority of Shinra. Speaking of which, he has more power than the emperor. Because Shenluo is a loose alliance of princes, and the emperor is just a powerful princely leader. In such alliance countries, the Imperial Parliament has more power than the emperor himself.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp So, those princes who were originally dumb-fired again leaped:

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Yeah yeah, we are members of the Imperial Parliament and naturally have the right to express our position. But here is Worms!"

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbspMarin glared at Frederick III, and Frederick III did not show his head, but looked at others. He is now a poor victim. It ’s okay to insert a sentence or two. It ’s not appropriate to jump out and interact with Marin ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbspMarin thought about it and said:

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Looks like I am also a member of the Imperial Parliament ... Well, I have two seats in East Friesland and the Principality of Schleswig ..."

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "That's only two, so many of us ..." said Henry Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "You said more than people ... I also have ..." After that, Marin smiled slightly and waved towards the seat of the imperial city representative ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp The imperial city has a lower status, and the seats are behind. But when they saw Marin waving, they all clamored and made a lot of noise. After all, with the exception of the imperial cities in Saxony, most other imperial cities are on the side of Lübeck and Hamburg. While Lübeck and Hamburg are Marin's allies, they naturally support Marin.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Seeing the cheers of the imperial city representatives in the back row, Duke Henry snorted, saying:

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Those representatives of untouchables can also incorporate this kind of thing? We are discussing, but the crowning matter of a crown is not a dispute of interest, and those civilian representatives are also eligible to blend in?"

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Just after the words of Duke Henry, many noble princes nodded. After all, many of the representatives sent by the imperial cities are not aristocrats. Even nobles are generally honorary nobles like jazz, not hereditary nobles like them. Therefore, these great noble princes have always looked down on the representatives of those imperial cities.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "That's what you said, Lord Duke Henry. Catch Ming Er, I talked to the friends of the Hanseatic League, and you said they looked down on them. When you want to borrow money from them, see if they will Willing to lend you ... "Malin smiled, then said ridiculously.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp In this era, the aristocrats were generally in a bad economy, and it was common to borrow money from Hanseatic merchants. If people don't want to borrow ... How can everyone maintain a luxurious life?

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp So, many nobles who just nodded their heads back. But Henry, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, did not care, because his Principality of Brunswick-Lüneburg had large reserves of the Lüneburg salt mine. Now that the price of salt is so expensive, salt mines are like gold and silver mines. He doesn't run out of money and basically doesn't need to borrow money. But the other princes did not have his confidence ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp On the Danish issue, the two sides have been arguing for a long time, and there is no result. Moreover, those princes could not suppress Marin. Because Denmark does not belong to the Imperial Parliament ... they just want to use the advantage of a large number of people to vote, it must be an internal empire ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Seeing that the two sides can't dispute, Emperor Maximilian I played a round, suggesting to discuss the issue of severance and compensation for the electoral countries of Saxony and Brandenburg ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp did not expect that after entering this topic, the dispute was even more fierce ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp The issue of compensation is not widely divided. Anyway, there is a ransom price list that is common in Europe. But on the ground, everyone's differences are so different ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbspMarin insisted that the electorate of Brandenburg and the electorate of Saxony should cede the land area equivalent to two counties, that is, an area of ​​more than 4,000 square kilometers.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp The princes strongly opposed it, thinking Marin had too much appetite. Even some radical nobles think that it is better not to cede the land.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp, Marin slammed back directly:

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "You are a two-pronged one! If you are defeated, don't cede the land. Is there such a practice in European history? You have to pay for the defeat. This is reasonable! What's more, this is not the war I provoke. If you lose the battle and do not cede the land, will anyone be able to invade others casually after that? Is the empire not chaotic? "

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbspMarin said it eloquently, and it sounded very meaningful. However, everyone always feels something is wrong ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp After a while, Frederick III stood up and said:

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "You may have a point, but you want too much! Did you know that the land area you want is close to half of the Saxon electorate, which is equivalent to the area of ​​a Principality. And Brandon Both the electorate of Fort and the electorate of Saxony have ceded so much land to you, and you have earned two principalities. Historically, even if the other party was asked to cede land, hasn't it been so exaggerated? "

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "You want the land of our two principalities and the Jutland peninsula of Denmark, which is equivalent to two electoral countries of Saxony. Plus half the size of the Norwegian kingdom of Germany, and even the crown of Norway ... Marlin, do you want to be the overlord of Europe? Even His Majesty Maximilian I has no more land than you ... In the next step, should we choose you as emperor? "

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp listened to the calm voice of Frederick III, Marin also shed some cold sweat-this is not pretended ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp After all, Frederick III's words go to the core. Moreover, through a simple comparison-compared with Emperor Maximilian I, the sight of Marin is different from the moment ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp The current Habsburg family is only Austria, Burgundy (later Franche Comté region) and the Netherlands (excluding most of the Principality of West Friesland and Geddes) . This territorial area is already one of the best in Shenluo. But if Marin won the Jutland Peninsula and the Kingdom of Norway, in terms of territorial area, it suddenly overtaken ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp By that time, Marin, with a land of more than 200,000 square kilometers in the Kingdom of Norway, will become the largest prince of the land of the Shinra Empire, surpassing the Habsburg family, and also more than the Kingdom of Bohemia Vladislas II of the Principality of West Asia and the Kingdom of Hungary became the king of Shinra ... It seems that he is also capable of running for Emperor Shinra ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp The words of Frederick III not only shocked many princes who were originally anti-Marin, but also Maximilian I himself was greatly touched ... he hopes that Marin and the princes will be mutually in conflict , But do n’t want a monster comparable to the Habsburg family ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp For a time, the air froze ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp At this time, Pope Julius II, who had been watching, felt that the time was almost up, so he stood up and said:

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp "Okay, let me be fair ..."

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Then, the eyes of the audience gathered in the past ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp You should know that Julius II is the Pope, the highest spiritual leader in Europe. What he said was more useful than Maximilian I, who had no real power.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp The problem is that it looks like-Julius II is on Marin's side ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp If the Pope protects Marin, what should everyone do? After ideological struggles, many secular princes planned to argue face-to-face with His Majesty the Pope. And those religious princes have even more conflicts in their hearts ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Of course, they have no courage to face the pope face to face. However, they really do n’t want to see Marin become king and get so much land ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp For a time, the faces of most princes on the field were full of complexity. Even Maximilian I, who had previously planned to support Marin, had a complex look. He hopes that Marin will help him attract firepower and fight with the princes, and he doesn't want Marin's strength to grow too fast ...

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp Therefore, most of the princes on the field looked at Pope Julius II with very complicated eyes, waiting for his "justice" ...
