Because of Katharina, the coronation ceremony held in Buda was too hasty and many distinguished guests did not arrive in time.^---Full site advertising--Welcome to visit

In mid-January 1527, Ladislaus formally received the two northern electors in Bratislava and accepted their congratulations.

During the formal banquet for several hours, Ladislaus spoke to the two electors, but in fact neither party said anything.

Before testing and contact, monarchs cannot talk nonsense.

They can only keep recalling their family's history and the traditions of the Holy Roman Empire.

Finally, when there was an opening, the Elector of Brandenburg found an opportunity to have a few words with the Hohenzollern Chancellor alone.

"There are rumors that your monarch is willing to accept even criminals and robbers?" Although he has officially met with Ladislaus, he has not yet discussed state affairs. Before that, the Elector of Brandenburg hopes to do everything possible

collect information.

Although the Elector of Brandenburg had a high status in the Holy Roman Empire, he was still very respectful in front of the Hohenzollern Chancellor.

The Elector of Brandenburg actually has a very distant blood relationship with the Chancellor of Hohenzollern. His respect is entirely due to the strength of the United Kingdom behind the Chancellor of Hohenzollern. Updates are fast without - bombs -

The Elector came to Prague to meet Ladislaus in person for strategic cooperation. He was very afraid of Poland's strength, so he would actively participate even if Ladislaus just made a gesture.

However, he is not opposed to other cooperation.

"Yes, there are many outlying islands along the coast of Dalmatia. We will choose a few to build some early warning forts. You know that the Barbary pirates are always a threat. His Majesty Ladislaus has suggested that the emperor conduct a general amnesty. All

Criminals other than treason and murder can be sent to the island to serve. Of course, they will all become coolies in building fortresses. Whether they can survive depends on themselves." The Hohenzollern Chancellor was also very polite to the elector.

It's when they need each other.

Ladislaus needed to reduce the threat of Barbary pirates to his greatly extended coastline. Since he still couldn't afford a navy for the time being, the early warning provided by these prisoners and a small army was not the worst option.

Of course, only exiles with relatively serious crimes would be sent to the island. Most of the people who were forced to commit crimes due to life constraints, Ladislaus would try his best to arrange to settle in key points in Bohemia and Hungary.

In fact, there are not many people who commit serious crimes, and if they are thrown onto the island, it will not cause a big burden to the country.

"His Majesty the King is also willing to provide help to noble families. The second son who has no territory or title to inherit can also go to the Hungarian front. As long as he is literate and can bring a pair of armor, there are many opportunities there." Hohenzollern continued. "Of course.

.Nobles from electorate families, whether they are legitimate or not, can retain their nobility status as long as they can bring a certain amount of immigrants. Of course, I will try my best to fight for my people, but His Majesty Ladislaus has no regard for the granting of titles.

They are very cautious. Therefore, the limit is to keep the barons, and the immigrants they brought must also be dispersed."

This statement aroused the interest of the Elector. If some of his family members could be thrown out, the pressure on him would be much less.

But he didn't agree immediately. Of course he hoped that his younger brother and cousins ​​would start their own land.

But if you only give your brothers barons or even knights, it is not in line with German tradition, and I am afraid they will encounter a lot of resistance. Too many ads? Are there pop-ups? The interface is fresh, and ads are available throughout the site.

Moreover, population is a source of wealth. Although excessive population can also cause social problems and eventually lead to social instability, the appropriate amount is never a simple question.

However, as long as Ladislaus's province has more land that can be cultivated and the local bureaucrats are cultural compatriots, then the population will spontaneously flow to his territory.

Moreover, religious conflicts within the Holy Roman Empire would also cause believers in Cyric to leave the areas ruled by the Bann Church. This was also an important reason why Ladislaus was unwilling to break with the Roman Church.

All Ladislaus had to do was to reduce the resistance of the German princes to this trend. Of course, Ladislaus did not have much interest in immigrants from Poland and Ukraine.

"This time I came, I was entrusted by His Highness Martin Luther. He wanted me to contact Machiavelli to persuade His Majesty Ladislaus to promote religious tolerance. Of course I will not join forces with him, but the Elector of Saxony will not

Will care about this." In fact, the Elector of Brandenburg also hoped that Ladislaus could support the Benn Church, but he did not want to offend Machiavelli's political enemy, the Hohenzollern Chancellor. The Royal Family of Warlocks 531

"Let him try." Magistrate Hohenzollern was not worried about this problem. "The Cyric Church has obvious advantages in Hungary. His Majesty the King will not give up his contact with the Roman Church at this time. He even said

Returned part of the property to the new Archbishop of Dark Sun Bohemia."

"Also, when meeting the king, can I mention our Hohenzollern's claim to Pomerania's sovereignty?" This has always been a major goal of the Hohenzollern family.

"It's best not to. And even if you mention it, the king is unlikely to give a different attitude than before. Besides, are you really not worried about Poland? Conflict with Poland will reduce your strength against Poland." Hohen

Officer Sauron replied cautiously.

"After all, the coastline of Pomerania is our ancient dream." Although he knew that the chance was slim and would bring risks, like all electors, this one still wanted to give it a try, but of course not necessarily now.

"Oh, by the way, I also brought a portrait of my sister..." As he said, the Elector took out a painting.

"No, no, I've been alone with you for too long. The issue of competing for the queen has little to do with the lady's appearance, so I won't read it."

Both parties spoke very quickly throughout the conversation, and it only took less than ten minutes for them to finish exchanging opinions.

Hours-long conversations can be nonsense, but short words can have real value.

Of course, formal banquets are not without value. There were many conflicts and contradictions among the princes of the Holy Roman Empire. To maintain a minimum level of stability, such formal exchanges were necessary.

Even great princes like Brandenburg and Saxony cannot compete with second-rate powers like Poland and Denmark in terms of absolute strength, let alone those dukes and archbishops who only have tens to hundreds of thousands of people under their rule.

The reason why other major powers have been unable to penetrate deeply into the fragmented core area of ​​the empire for so many years is because once a foreign country wants to use force to occupy the traditional territory of the Holy Roman Empire, the major princes can jointly fight against the foreign enemy.

The most realistic threat today is Poland.

After the Elector of Brandenburg and the Chancellor separated, they saw the Elector of Saxony scolding the Poles and passing by the Hohenzollern family.

"Your Majesty the King, the Teutonic Knights have been a branch of the Holy Roman Empire since ancient times. The land they colonized is also the sacred and indivisible territory of the Germanic nation. The Poles actually support the secular knights of the Grand Master of Hohenzollern and also incorporate the territory into

Seizing the territory is really a wolfish ambition. In my opinion, we must not only deepen the defensive alliance, but also take the initiative to attack them!"

There is no border between the Electorate of Saxony and Poland, so you can call it whatever you want.

Not so with the Elector of Brandenburg. Not only did he have a long border with Poland, he was also a relative of the former head of the knights and now the Duke of Prussia.

However, he did not speak. This kind of speech at a formal banquet is politically correct. It is difficult to refute such empty shouting.

Anyway, Ladislaus was humming and doing Tai Chi.

The Elector of Saxony's efforts in the Peasants' War were largely contained by Ladislaus.

But the subsequent confrontation between the Habsburg family and the Holy See allowed him to re-coordinate the various branches of the Vittin family. Coupled with the efforts of Martin Luther, he finally swallowed up some religious princes who should have been returned to the Roman Church.

The territory expanded the strength of the Weiting family.

Now he is ready to make a move again, but in fact he does not really want to go to war with Poland, but wants to surrender to Ladislaus and marry a daughter of the Witting family to Ladislaus, and then get more

More opportunities to expand strength.

Although Ladislaus had profoundly defeated him during the last election for the throne, since Ladislaus was a hero who could defeat the Ottoman Empire and kill hundreds of thousands of pagans, defeating him was not so difficult.

It's hard to accept.

If we can marry into the Habsburg family, it will be of great benefit to the Vittin family. (To be continued...)
