A hundred years ago, the Hohenzollern nobles had vigorously suppressed the church, but before the church was defeated, the Hohenzollern people first made a riot, and in the end the whole kingdom was turned upside down, and the mutiny against the church ended in the defeat of the Hohenzollern nobles. Later, the Germanic aristocracy could only reluctantly accept the reality, and even a hard-liner figure like Lothair had to ask the Pope to preside over it when he first ascended the throne. By taking out the church forces, the Germanic nobles led by the Frederick family can also suppress the power of the church and weaken the influence of the church little by little. Therefore, it is not a small task to set **, and Zhao Yougong also understands the consequences of doing this, but it is really helpless.

After Turik's death, the situation in Yumsburg was basically stable, and Yuliko was interested, and as soon as the church forces were defeated, he took the initiative to dismiss the family soldiers, so as not to cause misunderstandings. In order to show his loyalty, Yulik gave up his private estate to Zhao Yougong to live in, the dawn is coming, but the drowsiness is getting stronger and stronger, these days have been stationed outside the city, against the cold wind, even the iron beaten people can not stand this sin. Xiao Zhiyun spread the quilt, and when she saw Zhao Yougong's tired face, she was also a little distressed, "You don't have to worry about the affairs of Lorraine, Luo Weidenov is scheming, and he won't let us suffer in the future." Isn't it better to exterminate the Church and throw these people back to Hohenzollern? ”

Zhao Yougong turned over and changed to a more comfortable position, "How can things be so simple, the Western world is too different from ours, and the influence of the church is immeasurable." As we have done before, we have formed mortal enemies with the Church, and there is no possibility of easing, and the Church is a greater threat than those native Germanic nobles. Don't forget, we're a bunch of infidels, and as long as the influence of the Church remains, let's not really rule Saxony. Therefore, killing the church is something that must be done, although it is cheaper for those Germanic nobles, it is not a big problem, and our goal is the same in the matter of killing the church. ”

Pope Gregory couldn't hear Zhao Yougong's words, and if he did, he would definitely be so angry that he vomited blood. In any case, the Battle of Yumsburg was devastating to the Church, and with the news of the fall of Yumsburg, a magnitude 7 earthquake was set off throughout the Hohenzollern region. Dorle is also happy to see the church suffer, and if the church is weakened, it will be good for everyone. In the battle of the Misty Forest, although the noble soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses, Ding ** did not really hurt the killer, at least he did not desperately pursue. The meaning of this, Dorler also understands very well, the Orientals are doing this, which is to tell the Germanic nobles a truth, Saxony will be the territory of the Eastern Empire in the future, and the Eastern army will not take the initiative to go south to deal with the Germanic nobles, and the Germanic nobles should not take the initiative to provoke the Eastern Empire. Saxony could not be avoided in the hands of the Eastern Empire, and Dorle and the other nobles could only recognize this reality, and now the Easterners took the initiative to kill the last of the Church's forces in the Hohenzollern area, which was also an act of goodwill. Dolle wasn't a stupid pig, and he certainly knew what to do. When it was time to arrive, it was dark and cold in the streets, but Dolle still let his men fetch the carriage and go to the manor belonging to Schwein. What is going to happen next will have a huge impact on the entire Holy Empire, so it has to be cautious, and Schwein's influence must also be considered. There was still light in the manor, and Schwein did not sleep, as if he had already guessed that Dolle would visit late at night.

Looking at the dusty Dorle, Schweinnunu mouthed, and motioned to Dolle to find a place to sit down, "Your Excellency Dolle, at this time, late at night, you are not at home to rest, and you are actually interested in coming to me, it is really Yaxing." ”

"Schwein, we don't speak darkly, the armed forces of the Church in the Hohenzollern area have been completely annihilated by the Easterners in Yumsburg, don't tell me, you don't have any ideas at all" Dolle understands Schwein's temperament, and it is best to negotiate with this person, it is best to come openly, and it will not be of much use to be cautious. Schwein sat up straight, his right hand picking up the wine glass on the table back and forth, looking very leisurely, "Dolle, are you too naïve?" Hohenzollern is the territory of your eastern aristocracy, and what good is it to our Danube nobility to help you fight the Church? Hey, although the church has lost its arms, the private believers are unknown, and you should be well aware of the risks. ”

Dorle breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, since Schwein did not directly refuse, it proved that there was still something to talk about in this matter, "Your Excellency Schwein, aren't you Danube nobles also deeply interfered with by the church?" It is also good for you to weaken the influence of the church. Of course, in order to deal with the church, we can give away a part of the interests, and whatever the Danube nobles want, we can put it forward, as long as it is not too much, I will consider it. ”

Interests are the most real thing, and Dorle believes that there is no unsuccessful negotiation, it depends on how much bargaining chips you can throw, as long as the other party is tempted, the negotiation will be successful. Sure enough, after listening to Dolle's words, Schwein showed a solemn look, thought for a while, and said in a low voice, "We want two cities in the south of the Duchy of Brandenburg, if Your Excellency Dolle does not agree, then we don't need to talk about it, with the ability of your eastern nobles, I'm afraid you can't face the church alone." ”

With a malicious smile on his face, Doller's head was full of blood and blood, and he was almost about to shoot the case. The blue tendons on his forehead jumped, and he couldn't wait to reach out and strangle Schwein in front of him. The Danube nobles are really ambitious, the two cities are not a big deal, no matter how weak the eastern nobles are, the two cities can still be handled. The key is the southern part of the Duchy of Brandenburg, once the Danube nobles swallow the two southern cities, even if they enter the Hohenzollern Plain, it will be difficult to drive them out in the future. If it were a different occasion, Dorle would definitely kill Schwein, but now, he really didn't dare. The church is huge, there are countless folk believers, and now it is weakened by the Orientals, it is a good opportunity to start, this kind of opportunity is rare in a hundred years, once the church is relieved, it will be difficult to do it again. Compared with the threat of the Danube nobility, the threat of the Church is even greater, no matter how the Danube is, it is impossible to meddle in the internal affairs of the eastern aristocracy, but the Church is different, it can reach out and interfere in the affairs of the eastern aristocracy at any time. After thinking about it, Dolle still swallowed this evil breath back, and then stretched out a finger with a cold face, "One, if you don't want it, then don't talk about it, let's continue to let the church toss in the future." ”

Schwein raised his eyebrows and smiled even more, one by one, anyway, he just wanted to find a springboard into the Hohenzollern Plains, and the difference between one and two was not big, "Okay, we accept your conditions, let's kill the church first." ”

Pope Gregory was still sad about the affairs of Yumsburg, who knew that the two major noble forces of the Holy Empire had hung the ghost head knife over the head of the church. In the manor castle, two glasses of wine, two people, an agreement, the wine in the cup was drunk, and Dorle did not propose any written agreement, that thing was useless at all, "Schwein, when we kill the church, let's rely on our own means, if you want to eat Hohenzollern, you are not afraid of breaking your stomach?" ”

"Why can't I eat what Your Excellency Dolle can eat, and my stomach is broken? Your Excellency Dolle is too underestimated, we just have a big appetite, but you Frederick family, the people of Southern Lorraine are about to enter the arms of the Orientals, you will suffer heavy losses" Schwein did not give in, and the two of them quarreled with each other, and they fought equally. The Hohenzollern plain is a big piece of fat, how can you be worthy of your sharp teeth if you don't take a bite? The next day, the Hohenzollern Plain, north of the River Spu, suddenly became tense, and a large number of noble lords led their family soldiers into the Hohenzollern area, while the inhabitants of Hohenzollern were brought under control. Southwest of Hohenzollern, near the Elbe, is the Ark Church, founded by the Church in the Holy Empire. After more than 400 years of development, the Ark Church has become the holiest place for Germanic believers, and the place where successive popes have presided over the enthronement ceremony of the Holy Imperial Kings has also been held here. When Pope Gregory came to Hohenzollern, he lived in the Ark Lecture Hall.

An ark church, built magnificently, bluestone as the main body, the internal corridor is long, the frescoes are beautiful, even in winter, the courtyard is still full of greenery, the white marble pillars are carved with beautiful patterns, and the pavilions are full of church personnel. It's not like a church, it's more like a big castle. The eastern noble lords, led by the Frederick family, quickly approached the Ark Church, and in order to avoid unrest, Dorle strictly ordered the various ministries to control the junctions along the way, in short, until the dispute between the church was resolved, the news of a mutiny against the church must not be reported. The lessons of a hundred years ago are still in front of us, and Dolle does not want to repeat the mistakes of the Hohenzollern aristocracy. Although Schwein coveted the Hohenzollern plain, he also knew what to prioritize, and at this time, he would not dismantle the Doller platform. In order to cooperate with the Dorle mutiny, the Danube nobles also took action, and they not only quickly sent troops to control those nobles close to the church, but also established a long defensive line in the south of the Duchy of Brandenburg.

The joint action of the eastern nobles and the Danube nobles was huge, and it was close to noon, and the church personnel in the Ark Chapel finally felt that something was wrong. As Gregory walked up and down his room, the cavalry of the Frederick family finally arrived at the Arkchapel, and the other lord's soldiers gathered around him from all sides. The Ark Church is such a sacred place that no one has dared to spread around the church since the mutiny of the Hohenzollern nobility a hundred years ago. Hundreds of soldiers belonging to the Church gathered around, staring at the outnumbered Holy Cross cavalry as if they were facing a great enemy. Dolle snorted coldly in his heart, fortunately, the Knights of the Holy Cross suffered heavy losses at the beginning, and the re-formed Knights of the Holy Cross did not have too many church elements, otherwise, he really didn't dare to attack the church, "Control the Ark Church, in case of resistance, there will be no forgiveness, and the private soldiers of the church, kill them all, and leave no one behind." ”

Now that he has decided to challenge the authority of the church, Dorle will not have the slightest reservation, and he will not die if he fights the snake, and there will be endless troubles in the future. The cavalry drew their broadswords and began to sweep through the Ark Church, and the soldiers belonging to the church were in a hurry, how could they resist it, and the sound of killing outside the church shook the sky, and one by one the corpses fell on the bluestone road, stained red with yellow grass clippings. Many of the clergy of the Church were stunned, and they had the impression that no one had ever dared to provoke the Church so much. The eastern aristocratic lords, led by the Frederick family, turned the area around the Ark Church into a bloody place, and none of the private soldiers affiliated with the church escaped, even if they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, they were still stabbed to death on the bluestone road. Dolle's bloody methods terrified the clergy of the church. When all the private soldiers of the church died tragically outside the church, Dolle turned over and dismounted, holding a broadsword, and strode towards the church.

A Hohenzollern nobleman wiped the blood on his sword, swept the church with cold and merciless eyes, and said with a sad smile, "Hey, gather these corpses and clean up the battlefield, from now on, no one in the church is allowed to leave the church for half a step, whoever dares to come out, kill!" ”

The killing outside the church, the movement was so loud, how could Gregory not know, but he did not go out. I also know a little about Dorle over the years, although this person is young, but he is resolute and ruthless in doing things, since he has decided to attack the church, he must be fully prepared. Until now, he has not seen a single nobleman come to the rescue, and Gregory can't help but feel a trace of desolation in his heart, it seems that most of the nobles still support Dolle. In the blink of an eye, Frederick's soldiers stormed the church and occupied all corners, and these people belonged to the personal guard regiment of Dolle, and there was absolutely no problem in loyalty. A hundred years ago, the Hohenzollern nobles failed in a mutiny, and a large part of the reason was that the soldiers were bewitched by the church and there were too many people who defected. Dolle didn't want the tragedy to happen again, so only his own guards entered the church, and the others were not reliable. Standing in front of Gregory again, Dolle had a feeling of looking down, he used to always look at the face of the church, but now he can finally sweep away the depression in his chest, "Your Majesty the Pope, the heavens of the Holy Empire must always change colors, and the church has received a lot of benefits in the Holy Empire over the years, should it be satisfied?" ”

Having already staged a mutiny, there was no way out, and Gregory did not think to convince Dolle. Being able to defeat many competitors and become the first person in the church, Gregoriel's courage is naturally not comparable to ordinary people, "Your Excellency Dorle, do you know what it means to use troops against the church?" What will the people of the Empire do if they find out what you have done? Since you are familiar with historical materials, you should know about the Hohenzollern Mutiny a hundred years ago, right? ”

Dolle smiled slightly, on the side of the Orientals, he has learned a lot of things, the reason why the church is terrible is because the people believe in the church, so if you want to kill the church, the first thing to do is to destroy the sacred and inviolable image of the church. Gregory was calm, the smile in Dorle's eyes grew stronger and stronger, and gradually Gregory became a little apprehensive. Dolle raised his hand and patted it gently, "Hehe, His Majesty the Pope is really powerful, yes, once the people of the empire make a noise, it is definitely not easy to suppress it." However, the Frederick family did not come to destroy the Church, but to purify it, and Your Majesty heard me clearly, I never said that I would destroy the Church. 2k reading network
