Just as the coalition of the Seven Nations raged in the North Münster area, Conrad, the Bishop of Münster in control of the South Münster area, was also unable to sit still. Because, he also wants to share a slice of soup in this "feast" that divides the North Sea.
However, because of his limited strength, it is impossible for Bishop Conrad to participate in the division of the fruits of the North Münster area, and the seven princes will not give him a slice of the pie. Therefore, he chose to dig his own feet very pragmatically ...
Of course, it can't be counted as digging your own feet. Because, he is only in charge of the South Münster area, but can not be regarded as the owner. Therefore, he intends to collaborate with the coalition forces of the seven nations, scourge the South Münster area together, and then divide the benefits from them.
Why do you harm South Munster? Bishop Conrad has long thought about it-first strip most of the assets of the South Munster area from the church ...
Why strip assets from the church? Quite simply, no princes in Europe dare to openly grab the property of the church!
Since the Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV almost lost his throne because he was severely punished by the Pope, the Holy See has gained a lot of momentum. An emperor was forced to kneel and confess by the Holy See, not to mention ordinary princes? Before the outbreak of the Protestant War, almost no princes or even kings dared to tear their faces with the Holy See. After all, Yu Wei of Henry IV still kneeling and repented of his sins.
Therefore, as long as it is the property of the church, not to mention those princes who have a general relationship with the church, they are the son-in-law of Pope Marin, and they dare not openly snatch. At most, collusion inside the church robbed some people.
Similarly, the idea that Bishop Conrad also played ...
His method is very simple-in the name of "transferring the sovereignty and wealth of South Münster to Marin", a large amount of property and land originally belonging to the church are stripped from the church, and they are made to be packaged and sent to the North Sea. The state of the country.
After all, the Holy See also had this meaning in this respect-the sovereignty of Bishop of Munster and most of the land property were transferred to Marin. However, in order to maintain stability, Marin first let Bishop Conrad continue to control the South Munster area. Moreover, both parties agreed that after the death of Bishop Conrad, the sovereignty and most of the land property in the South Munster area will be transferred. Therefore, Bishop Conrad stripped out most of the land and property of the church in the South Munster area and prepared to hand it over to the North Sea Kingdom. It is also reasonable and will not be accused by the church. However, this time, Conrad divested a little of the property from the church in South Münster-it reached three-quarters of the church's total property, which exceeded Malin's original expectation of half. Of course, at this time, Bishop Conrad wanted to get enough money to get so many out of the church ...
Then, the seven-nation coalition with "inside information" was notified, led the army south, attacked the South Münster area, and rushed to the property that had been stripped from the church ...
Because it has been designated as "return to Beihai", even if the seven-nation coalition robbed the property, it can only be robbed of Beihai, not the church. In this way, the Seven-Power Allied Forces will not have to offend the church, and will also receive a lot of benefits.
After all, the South Münster area is considered to be relatively rich, with a total area of 5,900 square kilometers, which is larger than the average principality. The church has always been greedy and has the right to levy a "Tithe Tax". Therefore, the teaching assets of the South Münster area are still quite rich, with plenty of oil and water.
In order to cooperate with the plan of "digging his own feet", Bishop Conrad, who has consciously been few in time, has frantically separated and classified more than 1.5 million gold coins from the churches in the South Munster area. Set up, "waiting for the Beihai country to receive" ... Of course, this is a guise, the truth is waiting for the seven-nation coalition to "rob" ...
Then, in accordance with the agreement reached privately between the two parties, Bishop Conrad will be divided into 400,000 gold coins ... In fact, Bishop Conrad does not believe in the character of the seven princes, and arranged early for the value of 400,000 The property of the gold coin was hidden elsewhere. But as soon as the Allied Powers of the Seven Kingdoms came over and looted, he would throw the pot directly to the Allied Powers of the Seven Nations. Then, I safely annexed the part that belongs to me. In this way, it can be considered as each needs, everyone has meat to eat. And if you let the Seven-Power Allied Forces take the property away, and then wait for them to distribute it to yourself ... It is hard to say how much it can be distributed, and even it may be denied ...
……
After the two parties reached an agreement in private, the seven-nation coalition ended the robbery in the North Münster area, and the army went south and entered the South Münster area ...
However, unlike in the North Münster area, the Seven-Power Allied Forces are very restrained in the South Münster area. After all, the South Münster area is still the site of the church. Too arrogant here is easy to offend the Holy See.
Therefore, a strange phenomenon appeared-a group of robbers, robbing in a gentle manner in the South Munster area ...
Every time before the robbery, the officers of the coalition of the Seven Nations will ask someone to ask:
"Is this the property of the church?"
If it is, the soldiers of the seven-nation coalition will politely withdraw. If it's not ... didn't say it, grab it ...
In addition to the immobilization of the church ’s land and property, those who are ready to hand over to the North Sea Kingdom, as well as other civilians and businessmen who do not belong to the church, have also been ruthlessly looted ...
Even the new manor where 80 church knights originally belonged to the Bishop of Münster was looted by the coalition forces ...
The 80 church knights were originally the most important armed vassals of the Bishop of Münster, and they were officers of the hereditary Bishop of Münster. But after the Bishop of Muenster was assigned to Marin, the Bishop of Muenster ceased to exist. Therefore, at present, they can only be regarded as Bishop Conrad temporarily sheltering in the South Munster area, and can no longer be regarded as a knight of the church. After all, the Bishop of Munster no longer exists, and Bishop Conrad is only temporarily hosting the South Munster area.
Therefore, a knight collar was newly built in the South Münster area (their knight collars were all in the North Münster area, but they were taken by Marin, and then Bishop Conrad divided some wasteland in the South Münster area for them The 80 former church knights who reclaimed and reconstructed the knighthood have no formal church establishment, but can only be regarded as "temporary workers" ...
Therefore, this time, the Seven-Power Allied Forces ransacked their manor without any worries ...
Can only be blamed. The bishop Conrad, whom they originally followed, sold them ...
……
In order to get a slice of the turmoil this time, Bishop Conrad even made plans to "retire." You know, in this era, few archbishops have sought active retirement, and generally died, or were expelled or reformed ...
The reason why Bishop Conrad chose to retire voluntarily is partly because he dug the corner of the church this time. It is estimated that the priests of the church in the South Munster area will not support him anymore.
Secondly, it was because he planned to let his Ritterberg family also join this "feast" that divided the North Sea.
For example, he took the initiative to privately find the two Duke Henrys of the Welf family and proposed that Ritterberg also joined the seven-nation coalition to participate in the division of the North Sea country.
Of course, the weak Rietberger State does not intend to covet the interests of places outside South Munster. The Ritterberg family's requirement was to be able to join the Allied Powers of the Seven Nations, and after the war, split up a territory of about 500 square kilometers from the South Münster area in the name of the victorious country ... The rest, they don't want anything ...
In exchange, the Ritterberg family can give away the 400,000 gold coins of Bishop Conrad to the seven princes. Not only that, Bishop Conrad has planted the 10,000 Ugram's profit fields in recent years, and tens of thousands of gold coins are also recorded every year. Therefore, Bishop Conrad intends to make up 500,000 gold coins for the other seven princes ~ www.novelhall.com ~ so that they can support the Ritterberg country to divide the territory of South Münster from at least 500 square kilometers. This price tag can be said not to be low, it can even be said to be very high. At that time, the Principality of Saxony purchased the sovereignty of the West Frisian region, but only spent 300,000 gold coins.
But the problem is that Ritterberg is a weak and small country with an area of more than 200 square kilometers. Even if you buy land, you can't hold it unless it is recognized.
Therefore, they can only use high-priced methods in exchange for the recognition and even protection of the seven neighboring princes. In this way, the weak Ritterberg can safely eat at least 500 square kilometers of land, more than doubling its own territory ... When there is an area of 7,800 square kilometers, Ritterberg You can barely be regarded as an influx of the country. After all, such a large site is almost approaching a county ...
……
In the face of such an inflated price offered by Bishop Conrad, the seven princes were moved. Then, Bishop Conrad took his brother, John I, Earl of Ritterberg, and signed an alliance treaty with the seven princes on the spot, and sent a thousand troops to form the "eight-nation coalition" together with the original seven-nation coalition. , Continue to nibble the Beihai ...
"What? The Eight-Power Allied Forces? Make me play? Treat Beihai as a Qing Dynasty?" After hearing this information, the whole person was Spartan at the moment ...
