Chapter 146: Eugen at Ease
The attack on the robbers shocked the domestic aristocracy in one fell swoop, and the original turbulent pattern became stable again, and several electors who were eyeing the powerful and powerful also quietly restrained their minions, unwilling to easily anger the Habsburgs.
It's just some discerning people, but they can see the weakness of the entire Holy Roman Empire, and the number of robbers in the country is so large that tens of thousands of people can be stabbed out in one sweep, which is a sign of chaos.
The current strength of the empire is only the last light to return, once Prince Eugen dies and the pillars of the empire collapse, the edifice will immediately crumble.
In addition, the emperor Charles VI is also old, and the inheritance of the throne is imminent, and when the emperor dies, huge contradictions will inevitably erupt around the throne.
When that time comes, the empire will be in a real storm.
Not only the ambitious princes in the country are waiting for this moment, but the powerful French Empire next to it is also eyeing it, and even the British Empire across the sea also wants to intervene.
The situation in the empire has never been more complicated.
However, these two days Eugen stood on the edge of the chaotic situation, and spent a few days of rare leisure.
Due to the robber attack, the royal family directly declared that Count Eugen had not recovered from his serious injuries, and the trial of Eugen was postponed indefinitely.
In fact, Eugen's injuries were far less serious, and a week had passed since then, and he was back to his feet with no hidden dangers that would be difficult to heal.
Eugen, who had nothing else to worry about, went about his time in San Marino, where he read only a few letters from the old mayor of Lebour.
The old mayor told Eugen that the original construction plan was not stalled because of Eugen's accident, but rather accelerated the progress, and it turned out that the Medici family had increased their investment in the city of Leber.
A large number of fine craftsmen from the Medici family joined the construction of the city of Leber, and the area of the city increased every day, and the architectural planning of the city began to become more rational.
Sanitary conditions have reached the highest level in the history of the city of Leber, the streets are no longer filthy, and some trees have been planted in the streets of the city, and the conditions are changing for the better.
The most gratifying thing is that a new large mineral deposit has been discovered in the area controlled by Lebour, although it is only an ordinary iron ore, but it still has huge mining value, and this mineral deposit is completely the property of Lebor City.
Merchants smelled the great potential of the city of Lebor and came to join it, and trade routes with the Duchy of Bavaria had been opened, and wealth was flowing from the city.
Seeing this series of good news, Eugen was naturally very happy, the old mayor mentioned Margaret's contribution more than once in the letter, Eugen was not only happy in his heart, but also buried a deep emotion in his heart.
But all this is not as good as a piece of news that shocked Eugen, and after seeing the news, he even exclaimed in surprise: "What? Princess Maria to the city of Leber? ”
When he first saw the news, Eugen couldn't believe it, and confirmed it three times before he believed it.
"Anyway, with the old mayor's character, it's impossible to lie to me." Eugen muttered as he paced on the ground, "But why did this princess come to my territory, although she is my fiancée, I have not seen her until now, she should not be in such a hurry to see me." ”
Eugen didn't know that the Miss Cat he had met in Schönbrunn Palace was Princess Maria, after all, Miss Cat lived alone in an empty palace, and no matter how she looked at it, she was more like a concubine who had been beaten into a cold palace.
"Oh, this time it's a big head, originally two girls were enough for me to have a headache, but now there is one more, what can I do?" Eugen not only felt a headache at the thought of how Margaret and Maria would look when they met in Lyber, but he did not believe that they could live in peace.
The more Eugen thought about it, the more depressed he became, and he was even a little annoyed, why didn't he travel to ancient China, so that at least he could still be polygamous, and the problem would not be so troublesome.
However, thinking that China is now in the Qing Dynasty, Eugen quickly shook his head and said to himself: "No, no, no, forget it, half of your hair is shaved, and the other half is braided, so it's too ugly, so it's good." ”
In the end, Eugen didn't think about what to do with this matter, and he finally decided that he would not go back to Lebor City first, and that he could stay in San Marino for one more day, and it would be better to wait for one of Margaret and Maria to leave Lebour, and then go back.
San Marino was prosperous enough and had better medical conditions, and a month later, Corleone's injuries had recovered and he was no longer in a position to move.
The wounded soldiers on the battlefield that day also received good medical treatment, and most of the wounds have recovered well, and by now, most of them have healed.
In this way, Eugen will not be able to drag on in San Marino City.
It's not that the royal family asked him to return to Viana, but that those soldiers were restricted by military orders when they went out, and now that more than two months have passed, if they continue to stay outside, they will be suspected of violating military orders.
Therefore, the escort team must return to Vienna as soon as possible, and it is up to Eugen to decide whether or not to go to Vienna.
Without the protection of the escort team, Eugen himself did not dare to run around, and after thinking about it, he still decided to move forward with the escort team, and when he reached the Lebor area, he changed his route back to the city of Leber, and the escort team continued to Viana.
When the matter was settled, the next day they left the city of San Marino, which Eugen was full of reluctance, but unfortunately he could no longer stay here.
Steward Vester had already returned to Viana, so Corleone and Eugen were the only ones left on the trip. The battle resulted in heavy losses and a lot of gold coins, which Eugen used to buy a set of the finest Milanese armor from the city of San Marino and give it to Corleone.
Dressed in new armor, Corleone rode majestically and followed Eugen to the city of Leber.
Shortly after they left San Marino, news came that the Black Death Line, located in the Cosenza area, had been breached.
In fact, this line of defense had been broken through more than ten days earlier, and the defense minister who succeeded Eugen only held out for more than half a month, and he was unable to maintain the stability of the defense line.
However, for the sake of his own face, he was so stupid as to order the news to be blocked, and at the same time set up a second and third day defense line not far from the Cosenza defense line, wanting to hide from the world.
Unfortunately, it backfired, and the defense line continued to break through, and by the time the news spread, the Black Death had spread to the foot of the city of Rome!
