After the end of the Zen throne ceremony, Marin was not only canonized, but also received the crown and seal of the Duke of Egypt presented by Maximilian I, all of which were pure gold, which was considered to have cost the miserly emperor a sum of money. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But the emperor was excited at the moment, although he spent a lot of money, he got a position of emperor, and it was automatically hereditary, and he did not need the throne of the pope to be crowned.

Moreover, in addition to the recognition of the Holy See, the princes within the HRE also basically recognized the status of Emperor Maximilian I of Dongluo. Even the two kings of Spain considered recognizing the status of Maximilian I as Eastern Roman Emperor......

Why do the Spanish kings intend to admit it? It's still France's trouble. At the beginning, everyone knew that Charles VIII forcibly bought the Eastern Roman Crown. Spain and France were mortal enemies, and naturally did not want France to obtain the Eastern Roman throne.

And Maximilian I is the in-laws of the two kings of Spain, but both sides marry their daughters to each other's sons, which can be regarded as allies.

Previously, the two kings of Spain did not make up their minds to buy the Eastern Roman throne, because they were afraid of the attitude of the French. But now that the father-in-law wants to buy this throne, although the two kings are not very comfortable, they still plan to support it. At the same time, it was also for Maximilian I to block the mines and attract the hatred of the French.

As for King Henry VII of England, he also intends to recognize the status of Maximilian I. Why? It's also to make France uncomfortable......

It is no secret that France has taken in Count Edward, and Henry VII has gone mad. So, anything that strikes France, he is supportive. Therefore, England and Spain were going to recognize Maximilian I as the Eastern Roman Emperor......

In the whole of Western Europe, and France was the only country, it refused to recognize the legitimacy of Maximilian I as Eastern Roman Emperor. Their reasoning is that the crown that symbolizes the status of the Eastern Roman Emperor is still in Paris, Maximilian I did not get the Eastern Roman Empire crown, and the Zen throne ceremony uses a newly imitated crown, not a inherited crown, so it is illegal......

Truth be told, Louis XII wanted to send troops to attack the Netherlands, which was close to France. However, Maximilian I, because he controlled the transportation of the Graubünden region of Switzerland to Italy southward, it was easy for Maximilian I to send troops south to attack the Duchy of Milan, and France was far behind. Therefore, if France really wants to attack the Netherlands, Austria can also attack Milan, which is currently part of France, or even attack Naples......

Therefore, after much thought, Louis XII gave up his intention to go to all-out war with Maximilian I, and instead fully supported the Swiss alliance and the emperor......

……

Marin is very satisfied with the current situation. Marin saved the Spanish prince by saving the prince of Spain, blocking the Habsburgs' chance to rule Spain together. Therefore, Marin still has some guilt for the emperor. Therefore, he gave the emperor the opportunity to buy the Eastern Roman throne, and fulfilled the emperor's dream of being an emperor in advance.

Because Prince Juan has given birth to a male heir, both Princess Isabella of Portugal and the madwoman Juana who married Prince Philip have lost the opportunity to get the Spanish throne. Therefore, the HRE Empire will not have the opportunity to receive a steady stream of financial support from Spain in the future, so that it will have the money to beat France and deter the princes.

Originally, for Marin, who was also a prince, this was a good thing. But Marin also knew that in the future, Austria would need to confront the Ottoman Turks. Therefore, the power of the Habsburgs also needs to be strengthened. Otherwise, Austria would not have been able to resist the Turkish attack for two hundred years by virtue of Vienna, as it had done in its original history.

Therefore, in the future, Marin intends to help the emperor clean up the Swiss so that they can spare their strength to deal with the attack of the Turks. It's just that the time is not yet ripe. This is because the Habsburgs have not yet received Hungary, which directly borders Turkey. Only when the Habsburgs got Hungary would they start to face up to Ottoman Turkey. At that time, it was time for Marin to support the Habsburgs.

Now, if the Habsburgs were to be supported in advance, perhaps the Habsburgs would take the opportunity to grow bigger, and then start to clean up the princes and upset the balance in the country......

Therefore, now Marin's support for the royal family is mainly on the surface, and the form is greater than the reality. When the Habsburgs need to fight against the unscrupulous monster of Turkey, Marin will fully support them......

Moreover, as far as Marin knew, Frenzberg had already begun to help the emperor reorganize the army, and the combat effectiveness of the Austrian army would inevitably be improved.

Speaking of which, Marin was reluctant to let Frenzberg go. He is the only two generals under Marin, and he is a little more capable than Schwartz.

However, Marin knew that Frenzberg was more inclined to the royal orthodoxy of the Habsburgs, and it was not intimate to stay by his side, so it was better to send it to the emperor, which could be regarded as his own support for the emperor.

In fact, Marin is a very insecure person. For his subordinates, he only trusted the five squires who had followed him and Kohler. As for the other wandering knights who came over halfway, Marin didn't trust him much. After all, these wandering knights from aristocratic families have too many ideas of their own, and they only go to themselves for the sake of wealth and nobility, not for their own good.

Therefore, Marin is more looking forward to resting teenagers who are still studying in school. They have been fooled into growing up since childhood, and when they reach adulthood, they are basically fooled into becoming diehards. Moreover, because of the high cultural quality, it is no problem for them to catch up with Schwartz, at least to beat Garland and Tara, two guys with mediocre qualifications.

Crucially, they are mass-produced......

As long as the number is large enough, it can completely make up for the difference in individual capabilities. Moreover, they are trustworthy......

When this group of teenagers grows up, Marin plans to gradually purge the officers who are not loyal enough to be vagabond knights, gradually marginalizing or emptying them and replacing them with his own diehards. At that time, he can be regarded as completely controlling the army, and he will have a high-quality modern army, and he can start the mode of fighting for hegemony.

For now, because there are many wandering knights who are not on the same mind as him, Marin still has doubts about the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the army. Of course, no matter what, because of advanced weapons and training methods, our own army still surpasses the armies of other countries in this era.

The problem at present is that these middle and high-level officers from wandering knights have a fixed mindset and have their own set of ideas. Some of Marin's advanced ideas, which he wanted them to implement, were always changed to something that was in line with their ideas and were discounted.

As far as the current situation is concerned, only Schwartz, a senior general in the army, has not systematically received the military education of this era because of his declining background, so he listens to Marin for everything, and has done a better job in military reform. Moreover, for any decision made by Marin, there will be no questioning. And this is exactly what the modernized officers need.

Of course, listening to Marin completely unconditionally is actually not scientific. To truly rationalize command, we still have to wait until the establishment of the General Staff. However, if a group of old-fashioned wandering knights were to establish a staff headquarters, Marin might as well not establish it. Because, their old-school military thinking, may drag down the level of the General Staff. Therefore, the General Staff Department, Marin also plans to wait for the group of children in the school to grow up before establishing it.

Now, the teenagers in the school are learning textbooks written by Marin himself. When they are older, they will also study the military textbooks written by Marin. Through education, they will have a complete modern military mind. At that time, the general staff formed with them as the core will not have any remnants of old-school military thinking, but will be more advanced and more suitable for formulating appropriate plans......

……

Upon his return to East Friesland, Marin announced to his men that he had become Duke of Egypt. Everyone is a little confused, what is the benefit of this Egyptian duke title with no practical benefits......

But when Marin announced that he could elevate the status of those Italian beauties in the name of the Duke of Egypt so that they would be worthy of the status of the nobles, many people were excited......

The most exciting thing is the group of people who have followed Marin since they were commoners and have been promoted to nobility. They also saw the group of Italian girls, all of them were beautiful women, which was very exciting. Of course, this is specially selected by Alter, can it not be beautiful?

Marin took a closer look and found that some officers in the army who were born as wandering knights were not excited because of their inherent family hierarchy. Even if Marin said that he could promote those girls to aristocratic status, these people were not moved.

Marin sighed inwardly - sure enough, the minds of these wandering knights are very difficult to change. They were educated by the knightly class from an early age, and the old-fashioned ideas were deeply ingrained in their brains. It's so hard to change them......

But the commoner-born aristocrats, including Schwartz and Kahn, were very interested......

Because, they themselves are from civilian backgrounds, so naturally they will not look down on those Italian girls who are also commoners. Moreover, Marin is willing to promote the status of those girls, which can be regarded as helping them solve their concerns about "noble marriage".

So, Karn, who thought of a woman for the first time, cried out excitedly:

"Young master, I want one...... No, I want two Italian beauties! ”

Marin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, and others also laughed......

"Karn, according to the law, you can only marry one girl, and it is against the law and the canon to marry two girls!"

"Huh? So? Karn scratched his head, then muttered:

"I just think those girls are good-looking, but the horror can't help the toss of my brute physique, so I want two ......"

This time, everyone laughed so hard that they couldn't stand up straight...... Karn was too sincere......

Marin finally stopped laughing, and said to Karn:

"Okay, I can give you two girls, but you can only marry one girl......"

Karn scratched his head innocently:

"It's so troublesome, who should I marry......"

Ma Lin was speechless, and before he picked two girls, he was worried about who to marry, and he was really honest. With such an IQ, he can only be his chief guard. Or, lead the charge with the charge. Let him be the commander-in-chief, and he will definitely lose the army......

Everyone began to discuss the group of Italian beauties enthusiastically. However, Marin poured cold water on them:

"All right, gentlemen, want a woman? Yes, wait until the fight is over. Whoever performs well will be picked first. If you're doing particularly well, you can pick two......" Marin tempted.

"Wow-" Everyone was suddenly excited......

"My lord, go to war, I want to be a vanguard! I want two beautiful mothers-in-law......"

"But young master, it's illegal to marry two wives......" Kohler reminded.

"It's nothing, another open lover...... Marin said nonchalantly. He himself is a wife, a lover, or a sister-in-law...... Therefore, he can't ask his subordinates to follow the rules.

"However, the child born to the lover is an illegitimate child, and there is no inheritance right......

"Is this a thing? As long as they are willing to do their best and do great things, I can canonize their illegitimate children as knights or knights......

Kohler was speechless for a moment, he forgot that Marin could elevate ordinary people to nobility......

And Marin's promise made the officers and men of the army high-spirited. Because, Marin said, a well-behaved officer can not only choose a beautiful Italian girl as a wife, but also choose one more lover. And the soldiers who performed well even had the opportunity to choose a beautiful woman as their wife......

Therefore, both officers and soldiers are eager to participate in the war, and hope to get a wife who is like a flower through outstanding performance......
