Chapter 813： Imperial meeting

"Do not surrender?" In the face of the siege and the vaguely familiar slogan, Marshal Bonitz's face changed drastically.

He remembered it—this slogan was clearly characteristic of the East Frisian army. And, shouting so neatly, there have definitely been rehearsals.

"Marin Hoffman, you villain with two sides and three swords!" Marshal Bonitz finally understood who he was planted in.

He understood, he understood completely. He understood why John II, Duke of Cliff, had the courage to challenge the mighty Principality of Geddes, and he could also gather 30,000 troops-this is clearly because Marin was behind him to support him ... poor Ged Duke Charles II really thought Marin was out of business ...

On the way to the concentration camp, Marshal Bonitz scolded. Schwartz couldn't listen anymore and stopped saying:

"Cough, don't talk nonsense, our Grand Duke did not declare war on the Principality of Geddes and did not send troops, it was considered to have complied with the agreement!"

"Where did this army come from now? What about you General Schwartz? Did you betray the North Sea and turn to John II, Duke of Cliff?" Bonitz said coldly.

"Well, Marshal Bonitz, you should know that our Grand Duke started as a mercenary. Before, we were also employed by the King of England to fight in England. So, I took this soldier and accepted John II Is there any problem with the employment of the Duke? "Schwartz asked.

Marshal Bonitz was completely speechless-yes, they were originally famous German mercenaries, and they were hired by John II, Duke of Cliff, to fight for it without any problems ...

"So, you see, the Grand Duchy of the North Sea has not violated its promise to Duke Charles II and has not sent troops. However, we have negotiated with John II, Duke of Cliff, and will fight for it once when necessary ... … "

"But when did your army go south? Why didn't you hear anything? If you knew that you were employed in the Principality of Cliff, how could we easily send troops?" Marshal Bonitz said angrily.

"This ... this is something that employer John II specifically asked us to go down quietly. At the time, we didn't know why, now we know ..." Schwartz said nonchalantly.

Marshal Bonitz stared at Schwartz for a long time before slowly saying:

"You are so mean and shameless, and extremely cunning. This time, the Principality of Geddes has been planted ..."

...

At the same time that the armies of the two sides were fighting in the Parson Concentration Camp in the Principality of Brabant, the Prime Minister of the Principality of Cliff, old Mason, also brought several secret letters from Schwarz to his Principality of Geddes privately in France To Worms, where the Imperial Parliament is located.

Before coming, the old Mason had already joined the Habsburg family to invite an emergency meeting to discuss the unexplained attack on the Parson Concentration Camp in the Principality of Brabant. The German Speaker, Archbishop of Mainz, Jacob, and the Speaker of Burgundy, Archbishop Trier, Baden, also agreed to the convening of the interim meeting, and invited the princes to attend.

Most German princes are happy to hear about the deflation of the Habsburg family. Who made Maximilian I open up when he was young and said that the facts should unite Germany. Therefore, although it was inconvenient for the princes to express support for the unfortunate situation of the Habsburg family, secretly gloating was sure.

Therefore, there were many princes who came to the temporary meeting this time, but most of them came to see the Habsburg family joke. As for the old Mason Prime Minister Cliff, who clapped his chest up and down and said he wanted to be a "King of Kings", everyone regarded it more as a clown. Why? Because the princes do not think that the Principality of Cliff can defeat the army of the Principality of Geddes. After all, the armies of the Principality of Cliff and Macbeth have been peaceful for a long time, and they have forgotten how to fight. The army of the Principality of Geddes has also played a few games with the Principality of Saxony before and is very experienced.

Emperor Maximilian I also came to Worms in person, and showed a "I'm in a hurry" gesture. I didn't stop interviewing those powerful princes. It seemed that I wanted everyone to help. Look.

However, the princes did not know that this time, Maximilian I was just acting. Because many things have already been arranged. Moreover, this time the imperial meeting was held temporarily, the Habsburg family and the old Mason were not asking for help from everyone, but invited everyone to be a witness. What are you witnessing? Of course it was those secret letters ...

Emperor Maximilian I did not go to Rome to be crowned so far. He can only be regarded as a quasi-emperor. Moreover, even if he completed the coronation, the emperor could not say what to do in the fragmented country of the Holy Roman Empire. Therefore, even if you have an iron certificate, you still need to ask the princes for notarization at the Imperial Conference. Only after the notarization was completed, did Maximilian I take the emperor's shelf and declare sanctions against the Principality of Geddes. After all, the Principality of Geddes colluded with France, the enemy of the Habsburg family, so Maximilian I also hoped that the Principality of Geddes would be unlucky.

...

Before the interim meeting, old Masonte went to visit the emperor. Then, inside information came from the emperor's line-Maximilian I gave old Mason something ...

After the interim meeting began, after Archbishop of Mainz, the Speaker of the Empire, completed his speech, Maximilian I, as the monarch of the Empire, also came to the podium and began to preach ...

Unlike the princes imagined, Maximilian I had no worries. I saw His Majesty the Emperor said:

"Everyone, as you may know, before this, our Habsburg family arrested a group of rebels from Switzerland ..."

There was a sudden commotion from the bottom, and the princes thought-is it a chaos or a justice? Do you have no B number in your emperor's heart? Of course, Maximilian I was a nominal monarch after all, and it was not easy for them to speak directly. When you hit the emperor's face in front of you, didn't you give him the handle? Although the emperor of Shenluo had no real power, it was illegal to publicly provoke. Therefore, everyone is making trouble in private, and will not sing in public, otherwise, they will give the emperor the handle ...

"The Principality of Gedsi took advantage of the transfer of our Habsburg family troops to Switzerland, outrageously colluded with the Kingdom of France, launched an invasion of the Principality of Brabant, and tried to rescue the mob ..."

Elector Frederick III of Saxony coughed, saying:

"Your Majesty, you said that the Principality of Geddes colluded with France, but that is to prove the evidence. Otherwise, even if you are an emperor, you can't blame a distinguished duke at will!"

Maximilian I took a deep look at the twenty-five puppets of Frederick III, the elector of Saxony, and then said:

"Of course, everyone should know that just before the Principality of Geddes sent troops, the French sent 10,000 troops to support several cantons in western Switzerland. This is not counting, they also sent tens of thousands to France and Flanders. At the border between the two countries, deter Gent ’s garrison ... "

Frederick III shook his head ~ www.novelhall.com ~ said:

"Your Majesty, what you said does not prove that the Principality of Geddes colluded with France. Perhaps, this is just a coincidence. Unless you can produce hard evidence! Otherwise, the accusation of Duke Charles II of collusion with France cannot be established.

After Frederick III finished speaking, most of the princes present nodded:

"Yeah, yeah, your majesty you need to come up with hard evidence!"

Maximilian I watched most of the princes support Frederick III's remarks, sneered, and continued:

"Of course I have evidence, otherwise, I will present it in front of you? If there is no evidence, I think you will not recognize it!"

After that, Maximilian I nodded at the old Mason. Old Mason stood up at this time and took out a few letters and said to everyone:

"Everyone, I have solid evidence that the Principality of Geddes colluded with the Kingdom of France!"
