In fact, the song was sung with such momentum by the army of Maximilian I only because of a misunderstanding. As the chief instructor of the 10,000 militia, Rangnick's words and deeds were regarded as orders by those people. He sang, and the people sang along. By the end, the regular army at the front was also infected.

The Austrian army was greatly influenced by Marin, and as Marin's army fought invincestively in the north and south, Frenzberg, as the first general under Marin, was also valued by Emperor Maximilian I.

Nowadays, in the Austrian army, the special queue training method for the North Sea army brought by Frenzberg is also popular. Mainly, through the training of the platoon, the mental outlook of the entire army has changed dramatically. Not to mention the improvement in combat effectiveness, but the momentum displayed because of the uniform movements during the march is indeed amazing.

Moreover, this momentum can not only intimidate the enemy, but also inspire their own soldiers and make them feel proud. is like the military parade in China in later generations, so mighty and handsome. Although we can't be sure whether those honor guards really have combat effectiveness, it seems that it is indeed very uplifting and morale-boosting. And morale is a very important thing, no matter what age it is. Even, in this era when warriors are required to charge desperately, morale is often the key to winning or losing.

When Austria's 20,000 veterans and people became familiar with the song, they fell in love with the chorus. Because, the chorus of 20,000 people has caused an amazing effect. When the 20,000 Austrian soldiers lined up in a neat line sang "Our Beloved Lady" and marched through the valleys of Italy, the neat and loud singing resounded through the mountains, leaving an echo. With the relatively neat pace of 20,000 people, how to look at it and how scary......

Actually, the song Marin has already made modifications. For example, the paragraph "The emperor annexed all of Flanders, and he wanted to annex the land all day long" was deleted by Marin. This passage is actually about the history of Charles V's annexation of the whole of Flanders and his conquests. That is, of course, decades later. Moreover, it will not appear on this plane. Because, Marin saved Juan III, Charles V could not have become king of Spain. And the phrase "a strong wind blows from Gredon" in the lyrics is also problematic in later translations. This is because the word "Geldern" should actually be translated as "Geldern", that is, the capital of the Duchy of Gedes, and this phrase also hints at the annexation of the Duchy of Geddes by Charles V. It was Charles V's annexation of the Duchy of Guedes that laid the boundaries of what would become the Netherlands—the area of Lower Guedes was incorporated into the Netherlands, while the few hundred square kilometers of Upper Guedes were given to Germany......

Because the march on the mountain road was so boring, the Austrian soldiers fell in love with the song and kept singing it. Then, Emperor Maximilian I, who was also fond of this song, simply ordered that "Our Beloved Lady" should be used as the military song of the Holy Roman Empire army (one of them). Because, singing this song in German is really morale-boosting. In this way, Maximilian I arrived in the Papal States with an army of 20,000 men, singing as he walked.

When the 20,000-strong army arrived in the territory of the Papal States, Maximilian I was confronted by Pope Julius II's 10,000-strong army and a large amount of military rations......

This great man was recruited by Julius II from the territory of the Papal States. Further south in Italy, the autumn harvest ended a few days earlier than in Austria, and the Pope had already arranged for his monasteries to gather the people after the autumn harvest was over. In addition, simple cohort training was performed. Of course, they did not have to carry out the queue orders with the same precision as the army or the Austrian people in disguise, but only to be honest and obedient and transport the rations as instructed.

Needless to say, this grain was brought in by Marin. In exchange for Maximilian I's troops, Marin took the initiative to bear the other party's military rations and sent ships to transport rye to Rimini on the northeast coast of the Papal States. Then, let the 10,000 people be taken to the northern border to await the army of Maximilian I.

After the two teams converged, the 10,000 Italians wore the white vests that symbolized the Habsburgs. However, unlike Marin's North Sea Army, the Habsburgs' white vest was not printed with a black cross, but with a black double-headed eagle symbolizing the Habsburgs. This was the new symbol of the Habsburgs established by Maximilian I's father, Frederick III, during the reign of Maximilian I, who later applied it to the army.

Of course, wearing a white waistcoat was also learned by Maximilian I from Marin. The clothes worn by ordinary German mercenaries were varied and looked very irregular. However, it would be too expensive to make a military uniform for each mercenary. So, in the end, Maximilian I followed Marin's practice of putting a white waistcoat made of inferior wool on top of the mercenary clothes, with the black double-headed eagle of the Habsburgs printed on it...... In this way, everyone knew at a glance that it was the Austrian army......

Moreover, tens of thousands of people wear the same white vests, which does look much more comfortable and formal. The most important thing is that the cost is low...... How much does an inferior coarse wool white vest cost? You don't even need expensive dyeing dyes, and the black ink of the black double-headed eagle is cheap...... If the soldiers were to be given a full-body uniform, the price would be too high for Austria to afford......

In addition, the Frenzberg cottage to the end, brought the straw shoe technology "invented" by Marin to the Austrian army. Maximilian I saw it like a treasure! Straw sandals don't cost as much as leather shoes, and they don't want clogs to be as ineffective for long walks. For the poor emperor, this is simply a money-saving and easy-to-use artifact......

So, now, if you put the North Sea army and the Austrian army together, if you don't look at the logo on the white vest, you may think that it is one army - the same style of white vest, the same army of straw sandals...... The queue is not too much the same......

……

Just as the Austrian "20,000 troops" were on the march, another major event occurred in Siena......

It turned out that the Bishop of Siena, Colani, who was removed by Julius II, was depressed and went crazy after drinking, and scolded Pope Julius II in public......

Originally, it was nothing, as long as the news was blocked. However, there was also a French diplomat present at the time. And this French diplomat was not sober-minded, and thought that Maximilian I led a large army south to come to Rome to "force the palace". Therefore, in order to add to the obstruction of Pope Julius II, who was unfriendly with France, the news was deliberately disseminated......

Then Julius II learned the news. But when His Holiness the Pope heard the news, he was first overjoyed. Then, I reacted and jumped with anger......

Of course, the smile on the face is real. Because, Colini, the pig opponent, is simply a handle for the Pope. And he was so angry that he just covered people's eyes......

……

With this handle, Julius II openly stated "angrily" that this time he would say that he would remove the bishop of Coleny Siena from the throne, and whoever opposed it would be an enemy of the Holy See......

Moreover, when Maximilian I came to Rome with an "army of 20,000" singing "Our Beloved Lady", Pope Julius II, who seemed to be still angry, did not even open the city gates, but directly sent someone to shout and tell Maximilian I on the city gate tower - want to be crowned? No problem, take your 20,000 horses to escort Giulio appointed by the Holy See. Advance. Giuliano. Morality. The Medici went to the city of Siena and succeeded Colini, who was the "great rebel", as bishop of Siena......

And Maximilian I, who had a tacit understanding with Julius II, did not talk nonsense, directly commanded the army, turned around and went north, pointing directly at Siena...... ()
