"Is this won?" The process was so smooth that the entire Guancheng was won without playing a few battles, and Marin was even a little uncomfortable.

But when seeing Salimoe who was still fainting on the ground, Marin suddenly gathered his important officers and sternly said:

"Did you see it? This is the end of the door opening in the middle of the night! In the future, if you are defending the city, you will never let people enter the city at night, even if you are yourself. Even if you are yourself, you must enter the city with a hanging basket, and you must closely monitor and guard , Avoid accidents like this one! Do you understand? "

"Understood!" The officer under Marin shouted. They were also stunned by this easy break. Under normal circumstances, breaking a male barrier is no less difficult than breaking the steep city like Siena. Therefore, they obviously learned their lesson.

...

At the same time, Maximilian I, who was awakened by the shouts in Guancheng in the Austrian military camp outside Xiongguan, was also in doubt. He thought it was Siena's army who went out to camp in the middle of the night and ended up fighting for a long time or in the city.

"Are the defenders in the city making trouble?" Maximilian I could only speculate. Because, a heroic pass like Radicofani, it is extremely difficult to attack. Therefore, he can only guess that the defenders in the city were in trouble, but he never thought that someone would break into the city.

But when the Marin sent people to clear the deposits in the gate of the south gate of Guancheng the next morning and opened the gate to ask Maximilian I to enter the city, Maximilian I was stunned ...

"How did you win this Guancheng? It's so dangerous ..." Although he did not plan to attack, Maximilian I was also a military expert, and he could see the fortification of the fortress of Radicofani. . Marlin seized the Guancheng silently and surprised him. Moreover, as far as the situation in the city is concerned, there does not seem to be too much fighting ...

"It's very simple. I grabbed one of their officers and told him to flee outside the north gate of Guancheng in the middle of the night pretending to be a defeated soldier. They lied to be the crushed Siena army. The officers and soldiers in that officer city knew, In the middle of the night, they couldn't observe other people carefully. I let my soldiers follow the officer and rushed into Guancheng and took control of the gate. Then, I took the army and suddenly rushed out of the darkness to occupy the gate ... ... "Marin thought for a while, but decided to tell the truth. Not that he didn't want to keep it secret, but that even if he didn't say it, these defeated Siena people would tell the process later. Rather than deceiving the two, they might as well be honest.

Maximilian I was immediately stunned by Marlin's Bossau operation-can siege play such tricks? Maximilian I suddenly felt that he was old and could not keep up with the times ...

Taking advantage of Marin's time to go to the toilet, Maximilian I suddenly ordered the clerk around him:

"Write down, and then order the generals to keep the gates open at midnight when defending the city, even if they encounter a suspected friendly army!"

...

At noon, Marin warmly welcomed Maximilian I at the city hall. Of course, Marin did n’t bring much food, but Radicofani itself has a lot of food. Marin just arranged the chefs in the cooking class to process it. The Republic of Siena is a well-known and affluent state. Radicofani is also an important tax card on the border of Siena. The officials in the city are naturally very oily.

In this era, unlike the high-speed toll stations in later generations, money had to be paid. Radicofani is the only main road in the Republic of Siena and has an important tax card. In addition to the fact that in this era, the cross-selling tax does not have to be paid in full, and because there are no advanced management machines and software, the collection of tax is very irregular, which makes it convenient for officials in the location of the tax card to greedy. Therefore, the food in the city hall of Radicofani is very rich, and they are all big fish and meat. Under the craftsmanship of Marin's army master chefs, Marin and Maximilian I enjoyed the dinner.

After dinner, the two went to the reception room to continue chatting and eating. Chatting and chatting, the two of them unconsciously talked about the issue of marriage ...

"I intend to propose to my grandson Charlie, to Princess Claude, the only daughter of French King Louis XII. What do you think?" Maximilian I asked casually. Prince Charles was born in 1500, and Princess Claude remained in 1499, the two were only one year apart, and they really matched. Moreover, both of them are eight or nine years old, basically avoiding the time when they were youngest to die, and they can also talk about marriage. In particular, the woman is not waiting. Many noble girls get married in their twenties.

Marin thought for a while and said:

"It's a good idea. Louis XII doesn't seem to have a chance to have a heir. If he married Princess Claude, Prince Charles might be able to rule Germany and France together ..."

"Do you think it works?" Maximilian I was a little excited. He is a marriage lover and loves this marriage. If Marin did not intervene to save Juan III ... it ’s not right. At this time and time, Prince Miguel, son of Spanish Princess Isabella, has n’t died yet, and it ’s no turn for Juana ’s son ... otherwise, Mark Similian I must be dissatisfied with Marin ...

Marin shook his head decisively:

"Not feasible, Your Majesty, have you forgotten about Philip VI and Edward III?"

Maximilian I was shocked and said:

"You mean ... the French will disagree?"

Marin nodded:

"Of course, the French are very exclusive and will not agree that a foreign prince will become their king!"

Maximilian I nodded, but then suddenly asked:

"Then why did you let your son Caesar marry Edward's daughter Princess Margaret? Are you afraid that the English will oppose Caesar's British throne?

Marin smiled meaningfully:

"Oh, the great English aristocracy was killed by His Majesty Edward. Who can object?"

Maximilian I was silent, but after a moment of silence, he asked again:

"Who do you think Charlie should marry?"

"Princess Mary of Bohemia!" Marin said firmly. In fact, he had long wanted to make this proposal to Maximilian I, but he had no chance.

"Why? Your Majesty Vladislas II still has a son!"

After thinking about it, Marin decided to spoil:

"My teacher Einstein once helped me with divination, saying that Prince Layosh, the son of Vladislas II, might die in the war with Turkey after succeeding to the throne, and will not leave offspring ... … "

After a pause, Marin continued:

"In fact, I was hesitant for a long time on the issue of marriage, between Princess Margaret of Her Majesty Edward and Princess Mary of Bohemia. You know, the Kingdom of Bohemia and Hungary Together, the kingdom is bigger than England and has a larger population. Not to mention, the Kingdom of Bohemia also occupies Silesia, its size is so coveted ... However, because of the presence of Prince Lajos, the future There is uncertainty, and out of insurance, I finally chose the princess of Her Majesty Edward ... "

Maximilian I nodded and said:

"Actually, I had planned to marry Philip's second son Ferdinand and Princess Mary, they were exactly the same age ..."

"Don't do it!" Marin immediately interrupted Maximilian I.

"Why?" Maximilian I frowned.

"Your Majesty, even according to my teacher ’s divination, Prince Lajos did not leave a heir. If you let Prince Ferdinand marry Princess Mary, by that time, it is Ferdinand who won Bohemia, Hungary and Silesia Prince. However, it is Prince Charles who inherited Austria and the Netherlands. At that time, you will find an embarrassing problem-the Habsburg family will have two powerful heirs. By then, Habsburg Not only will the family not be strong, but also because the two heirs are very powerful, leading to infighting ... "Marin is not talking nonsense, but the facts in history.

Ferdinand had the ability to challenge Charles V after gaining the thrones of Bohemia and Hungary. If it were not for Charles V ’s support of the Spanish Empire ’s American gold and silver, Austria and the Netherlands alone would make it difficult to suppress Ferdinand, who owned Bohemia, Hungary and Silesia. Even if the opponent was suppressed in the early stage, in the later years of Charles V, when he wanted his son Philip II to inherit the Spanish Empire and the Emperor Shinra, he was resisted by the powerful Ferdinand. In the end, Ferdinand took the throne of Shenra, while Philip II only got Spain. Even Austria, the root of the Habsburg family, was robbed by Ferdinand ...

Maximilian I nodded and agreed with Marin. However, he still doubted:

"This is just your guess. Whether Prince Layosh will die young and fail to leave a heir, is still a question ..." It is precisely because of this doubt that Maximilian I chose to let his second grandson Fedi Nan and Princess Mary are married.

After thinking for a while, Marin decided to make some surprises:

"Your Majesty, according to my teacher's divination, say that the future queen of Prince Lajosh is your granddaughter Mary ..."

"Mary? She is only one year younger than Prince Layos. It's also appropriate ... what do you want to say?"

Marin looked around ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Seeing that no one was there, he whispered:

"If Princess Mary became queen of Bohemia, if ... if she couldn't have children ... even if Prince Lajos didn't die like a divination ..."

Maximilian I shook violently, and seemed to have experienced a huge struggle in his heart. Then he gritted his teeth and said:

"I won't hurt my granddaughter ..."

But Marin clearly saw Maximilian I already had a look of emotion on his face, and now I say this, but it shows that he is a good man with a conscience.

Marin said indifferently:

"It's not killing her, just fertility ... if Prince Charles can get Bohemia, Hungary and Silesia ... oh yes, and Moravia ... plus Austria and the Netherlands, and Franche Comté ... are more than half an empire ... "After that, Marin stopped talking about this topic.

However, when the emperor left, his face was full of struggle, and it seemed that there was an extremely fierce ideological struggle ...
