Speaking of which, Maximilian I was also quite sad. The Holy Roman Emperor, how famous is it? However, it is a poor ratio......

Speaking of Maximilian I, Marin always unconsciously thought of Zhou Tianzi in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, just as poor. After the fall of the Western Zhou Dynasty, after the death of King Zhou Ping, who moved the capital to Luoyang, he had no money for a funeral, so he had to send people to Lu to ask for ......

Of course, His Majesty the Emperor is a little better than Zhou Tianzi. In any case, the Habsburgs still had Austria as their base, and later through marriage, they acquired the Netherlands and Franche-Comté regions. In itself, he is a powerful prince. Unlike Zhou Tianzi, only the land around Luojing remains.

However, the Habsburgs maintained a strong army because of their desire to expand and gain real power. For this reason, although the Habsburgs had a lot of revenue, much of it was invested in mercenary armies. In addition, counting the many branches within the Habsburg family, they all have to get a piece of the pie. Thus, the Habsburgs became poor. Maximilian I, the emperor, also became the emperor of the poor......

How poor was Maximilian I? Originally, the reason why he died in 1519 was to go out to avoid debts. As a result, after arriving in Innsbruck, where his daily palace was located, the relationship with the citizens of Innsbruck was tense due to debts, and the citizens of Innsbruck refused to open the city gate and let him in. In desperation, he had to go to a mountain hut at the foot of the Alps. However, it was January...... Poor Emperor Poor Bi probably froze in his mountain hut and died......

300,000 gold coins, for Marin, is nothing more than the proceeds of 3,000 rye from the Yugram wheat field. But for Emperor Maximilian I, who had little to offer, it was a lot of money.

……

Sure enough, when Marin sent people to change horses along the way, quickly arrived in Innsbruck, and put forward Marin's conditions, Maximilian I, who was short of money, was moved.

However, he did not agree to Marin's conditions, but personally followed the envoy to the North Sea Country, intending to meet Marin. In order to be in a hurry, Maximilian I, like the envoys of the North Sea Kingdom, even changed horses along the way through the post station system set up by Marin himself, and soon arrived in the territory of the North Sea Kingdom, where he saw Marin, who had just recovered the city of Oldenburg and intended to continue to march into Bremen Province to eliminate the remnants of the aristocratic resistance......

"What? You want me to send troops to join forces with the army of Wrenzberg and destroy the alliance of princes together? After hearing the emperor's request, the teacup in Marin's hand almost fell to the ground.

Maximilian I said seriously:

"That's right, if you are willing to send troops to fight Frentzberg back and forth, I think, those tens of thousands of princes will definitely be defeated! When those princes are finished, when the time comes, we will divide Germany together! ”

Marin suddenly had 10,000 MMPs to talk about in his heart - Nima, and carve up Germany? When am I a fool?

Marin knew very well that the current confrontation with Frentzberg in the north of Switzerland was only a group of secular princes led by Frederick III, and not all the strength of the entire German princes.

What's more, even those secular princes who are against the emperor, their potential has not been exhausted. For example, the Electorate of Saxony left half of its troops on its own territory. The other secular princes who participated in the Allied forces also left a hand. Not to mention, those church princes basically didn't send much troops.

Marin was sure that if he wanted to unite the emperor to destroy the coalition of princes, it would definitely provoke a strong backlash from all the German princes. When the time comes, no matter which princes they are, they will fight hard with themselves. Because, if they don't work hard, they may be swallowed up by the emperor and lose most of their rights.

When the time comes, the army of Marin and the Habsburgs will not face the tens of thousands of allied troops on the front line, but at least a hundred thousand troops.

What's more, if he really joins forces with the emperor completely, the French will have to fight desperately if they don't end up. Because, once Germany is reunified, France will directly face a great threat.

Don't look at Germany as poorer, but the Germans are more martial than the French. A united Germany is definitely a great threat to France. Don't you see, after the reunification of Germany in later generations, the French were bullied so badly......

During the First World War, if it weren't for the-stirring sticks that Britain sent a large number of nobles and cannon fodder to the battlefield to accompany the French to death, the Germans but the Western Front Army would have been able to defeat France and reproduce the shame of the Franco-Prussian War.

And the French obviously knew this, so once the emperor had the idea of unifying Germany, the French would absolutely stop it at all costs. At that time, Marin and the emperor will face not only hundreds of thousands of allied princes, but also tens of thousands of elite French troops......

So, Marin did not hesitate to refuse the emperor:

"Your Majesty, this is impossible! If I dare to send a large army south, those church princes who were originally neutral will definitely gather a large army to confront us. Moreover, the French, who have always been enemies of the Habsburgs, will never watch your majesty unify Germany. Therefore, we may be facing more than 200,000 troops......"

Actually, it's not as bad as Marin says. As long as you act quickly, first wipe out the coalition of tens of thousands of princes, and capture those princes, then you can take a big initiative. At that time, even if the princes of the church reacted and sent troops, plus the French army, it would be too late.

Moreover, if Marin had brought in both the Sixth Army and the Fourth and Fifth Legions in England to fight, he would not have been able to defeat the enemy......

However, Marin will not be so stupid......

First of all, even if they can defeat their opponents, the cost will definitely be extremely high, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

Also, even if the alliance of princes is eliminated, what good will it do to Marin? At the end of the day, Marin was also a member of the princes. If all the other princes are destroyed, then the next one to be destroyed is himself.

The ass determines the head, and Marin's identity determines that he can't really stand on the side of the emperor to eliminate those princes......

As for what the emperor said about sharing the world with him, Ma Lin, who has seen a lot of history, doesn't believe it at all. He couldn't help but think of the time when Liu Bang and Xiang Yu divided the Chu River and Han realm, and as soon as Xiang Yu turned back, Liu Bang tore up the agreement and sent troops to pursue him......

Although Maximilian I was not as shameless as Liu Bang, he was by no means a good gentleman. If the other princes are finished, the next one to be cleaned up will definitely be the Beihai Kingdom......

Don't look at the strength of the Habsburgs now, but that is not because of poor combat effectiveness, but because of lack of money! Now, the Habsburgs have Frenzberg, a general who is proficient in the training methods of the North Sea State, and it is not a problem to train troops or something. The only trouble was that the Habsburgs had no money......

If Marin had helped him build half of the country, the booty alone would have been able to fill the lack of money for the Habsburgs. When the time comes, the Habsburgs will recruit more men and horses, and they will have the ability to confront the North Sea State......

……

After thinking about it, Ma Lin pondered it and politely refused:

"Your Majesty, there are only more than 20,000 ministers...... subtext is - there are not enough people to go to the waves, and they will not help......

Maximilian I was silent for a long time before he said:

"Well, I don't force you to take your troops with me to destroy the coalition of princes, it is indeed possible to face the princes and the French in all Germany. That one...... The loan of 300,000 Gulden gold coins ......"

"Excuse me! As long as you are willing to send troops to temporarily hold off the alliance of princes and prevent them from returning home. You don't need to divide the victory or defeat with the other party, just hold the other party for a while and give us time to annex the 8 vassal states! ”

But Maximilian I does not seem to be satisfied-

"What I mean - can you borrow another 200,000 gold coins? After all, with so many troops now, I also feel very difficult...... "Obviously, Maximilian I is sitting on the ground. Of course, His Majesty the Emperor did not lie. During this time, in order to confront the alliance of the princes, the Habsburgs greatly expanded their army, and indeed needed a lot of military expenditure to maintain the army......

Marin thought about it and decided it wasn't a big deal. As long as he sent troops to capture 8 vassal states, a mere 200,000 gold coins was really nothing. Moreover, Maximilian I did not want either, but borrowed. Although, God knows when this return date is. However, it was better than Marin hastily sending troops to help the Habsburgs eliminate the princes......

So, Marin nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll say hello to the Bank of Siena!"
