Marin's letter of request was soon sent to Rome, believing that Julius II, as his father-in-law, would not refute his face, and the name of a religious university "211 directly under the Holy See" could not escape. Moreover, there would be no problem in bringing Bishop Taylor to the position of rector of the university.

In fact, this application is just a formality. Moreover, Julius II would have willingly given control of the university to Marin. However, universities will be given the name of "key support from the Holy See" to increase the authority of the university.

Later, Marin met with Taylor and told him about founding the university. Bishop Taylor was hesitant - he was reluctant to give up the bishop's power, and he was somewhat unconvinced that Marin's application would be approved.

Marin didn't talk nonsense, and told him directly and clearly - my look, His Majesty the Pope will definitely agree, you don't have any concerns!

In addition, sensing Taylor's concern that he would lose his bishopric authority after becoming president of the university, Marin also helped him think about it—Marin allowed Bishop Taylor to appoint an assistant bishop to preside over the general affairs of the church in East Friesland during his time at the university, and only Taylor was responsible to him.

In this way, Bishop Taylor will be able to firmly control the East Frisian Church even if he is absent from the East Frisian Church for a long time.

In this way, Bishop Taylor can be considered to be the president of his university. Moreover, Marin gave a very high annual salary of 5,000 gold coins very face-savingly. As a result, Taylor's daily salary reached a terrifying 13.69 gold coins. It is higher than the average person's annual income (12.16 gold coins). Of course, in order not to irritate others, this salary, which Marin paid to Taylor privately, will not be made public.

Moreover, in order to stimulate Taylor to work hard, Marin also directly promised that if Taylor did a good job, he was willing to canonize Taylor's illegitimate son Matthew as a hereditary nobleman......

Taylor was not a religious priest either, more of a religious speculator. So, don't expect him to be of good character. It is quite normal to have mistresses and illegitimate children. Marin knows this too. So, he gave this promise to stimulate Taylor to fight hard.

Taylor was really stimulated, and patted his chest excitedly and said that he was willing to go to the soup for Marin, and he would definitely teach those little fools well......

In ancient times, both China and the West attached great importance to their offspring. It's not like some people in modern times who actually want to do something Dink. In ancient times, he was definitely beaten to death by his parents...... There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great......

In order to have a son, Henry VIII divorced several times and married six wives. Vladislas II, the current King of Bohemia, was also married three times, eventually giving birth to Rajos II. It's just that the sons of these two goods didn't end well. Henry VIII's son died young, while Vladislas II's only son, Lajos II, was hung up in the war with Turkey......

Taylor was originally born into a family of declining small nobles, and the family could not afford to raise too many children, so he sent him to a convent to become a priest. In fact, Taylor cares a lot about his family, the Gray family. It's just that there is no one in this family anymore. Taylor's eldest brother, Joel, has passed away and left no descendants, much to Taylor's sadness. Moreover, Taylor has no other brothers.

Taylor himself had an illegitimate son, Matthew, but in Europe, bastard children could not be recognized at all. Marin's promise is tantamount to being willing to give his illegitimate son a legitimate background, how can Taylor not be excited?

Originally, Taylor was just going to make Matthew a rich man. After all, he can make a lot of money as a bishop. However, there is a big problem with the rich man who has no status - that is, he cannot be coveted by the aristocracy. Otherwise, the family property is not guaranteed. As a result, most of the wealthy commoners, except those with backstage, were very low-key, or simply moved to Hanseatic cities such as Lübeck and Hamburg. Because, the law there protects the common rich businessmen.

But now, Marin has given Taylor a chance - to make his son a nobleman, and hereditary. In this way, the Gray family not only did not have to have no heirs (Matthew, as an illegitimate child, could not openly use the surnames of various families unless specifically approved by the monarch), but also had hereditary nobility as protection, which was simply overjoyed to Taylor.

Marlin asked Taylor mildly:

"Your son Matthew is three years old, right?"

"Yes, Lord Duke." Bishop Taylor was a little puzzled, not knowing why Marin was asking this.

"Matthew's age is not much different from Caesar's, so let's wait for Matthew to be older, come to the palace to accompany Caesar to study, and in the future, be an attendant to Caesar. In this way, Matthew will be able to get the name and status in the name of justice......"

"Gong ...... Lord Duke...... Too...... Thank you so much! Taylor was a little incoherent with excitement. The crown prince's childhood playmate, and the status of an attendant - it will be difficult to be undeveloped in the future!

It's just that what Taylor doesn't know is that Marin's close subordinates all chose to send their sons to Caesar as their younger brothers. Caesar already has a bunch of younger brothers. Matthew, the son of Bishop Taylor, can only be counted as one of them. If there is only one attendant, it will be okay to pay homage to the prime minister and soar in the future. But there are more younger brothers, so it's not so expensive. Of course, it won't be bad in the future. After all, it's the one who follows the future boss, and it's definitely not bad...... Europe is not like China, and the prince generally does not worry about being deposed, so if you follow the prince, the future is guaranteed......

……

After seeing off the excited Taylor, Schwartz suddenly hurried to Marin's office, and as soon as he entered, he hurriedly said:

"Young Master, urgent military situation!"

Marin was stunned for a moment and asked:

"What emergency military intelligence?" At this time, the spring ploughing has just ended, where is the military intelligence?

You know, East Friesland is now promoting cattle farming, and with 10,000 cattle imported from Crimea every year, there are not too many cattle farming, so at the end of March, spring ploughing is over. In other countries, spring ploughing is not over yet. At this time, who will use the sword in vain?

"Our spies have found a large military camp in the northwestern part of the Electorate of Brandenburg, which is estimated to contain no less than 20,000 troops! These people seem to be the missing 20,000 Swiss mercenaries! ”

"Sure enough!" Marin stood up, and his reasoning came true.

"It seems that the target of their attack is Lübeck!" Marin looked at the map and made a judgment.

"They're not going to send troops that soon, though, are they? The spring ploughing of the Electorate of Brandenburg is not yet over. ”

"Yes, young master, but, according to intelligence, this year's spring ploughing in Brandenburg began ahead of schedule, and the spring ploughing in some areas has ended, and in those areas where spring ploughing has ended, there are already soldiers and civilians concentrated in the direction of the Swiss military camp. Right next to the Swiss camp, a new camp with a scale of more than 10,000 people was built. ”

"Moreover, in the Swiss camp, food supplies have long been prepared. It seems that the other party is well prepared. As long as the spring plowing is over and the personnel are in place, you can launch an attack! That's the most important reason why Schwartz is anxious.

Because, organizing an army of more than 10,000 people, the collection of grain and grass is a very time-consuming work. Normally, it takes at least two or three months to raise and transport the grain and grass of tens of thousands of troops.

Because, in feudal times, hesitation was low productivity, and the grain in the treasury was generally not enough to support the profligacy of the army. Therefore, before the start of the war, the feudal dynasty generally needed to levy additional taxes and grain on the people to meet the needs of the army.

However, this process is relatively long. After all, fighting a war to levy grain is generally no longer within the scope of normal taxation. It is a bit difficult and takes time to collect it.

But Schwartz brought intelligence that the grain and grass had already been prepared in the large camp on the side of the Electoral State of Brandenburg. So this may have been prepared a long time ago last year.

Now, as long as the spring ploughing of the Elector of Brandenburg is over and the personnel are in place, the march to Lübeck can be launched immediately......

Moreover, intelligence from the Electorate of Saxony also shows that there seems to be a gathering of troops in the country......

It can be seen that as soon as the spring ploughing is over, the two countries will inevitably go straight to Lübeck. And once they take Lübeck, the next step will definitely be to attack Hamburg......

In the next ...... Marlin was a little unsure. It is possible that they will attack the Duchy of Schleswig, or they may fight themselves......

After all, the other party also knows that its own side is the main force of the alliance's army. If you don't beat yourself, you won't win......

Therefore, you must be fully prepared to avoid being caught off guard by the other party......

In addition, Lübeck and Hamburg must also send someone to inform them. Otherwise, if these two cities are lost, they will inevitably be sacked. When the time comes, the Electors of Brandenburg and Saxony, which sacked Lübeck and Hamburg, will inevitably be in great promising. And this is what Marin does not want to see.

So, Marin ordered:

"Schwartz, you go and arrange people, hurry up, hurry up and go to Lübeck and Hamburg, and inform the other party to be prepared to avoid being attacked by the enemy."

"In addition, inform the military camps to prepare for the battle. At the same time, the mobilization of all the militias of East Friesland began. Remember, it's an emergency mobilization! Time is running out for us! ”

"Yes!" After Schwartz received the order, he immediately turned around and went out to make arrangements.

It is conceivable that in the case of Lübeck and Hamburg, which were poorly prepared, they would not have been able to hold the city for long when they were attacked by tens of thousands of troops. Therefore, Marin had to quickly gather troops for reinforcements. While Marin also wanted to see Lübeck and Hamburg weakened, he was even more reluctant to see the Electors of Brandenburg and Saxony grow in strength as a result of the sacking of these two cities. So, Lübeck and Hamburg still have to be saved......
