The Imperial Palace of Vienna, the office of the regent.

In this office, the portraits of the ancestors of the Habsburgs are not mainstream.

The most valuable works of art here are the sculptures of the heads of the ancient Roman Empire, which have been collected by successive monarchs with royal power, and all of them are genuine, and there are several excellent ones.

The motive and logic of this behavior is that the Holy Roman Empire claims to be the heir to that ancient Roman Empire.

Ladislaus commented that the descendants of the Germanic barbarians not only seized the empire of the ancient Romans, but also their culture unceremoniously.

Because of his position, the general representative of the Germanic descendants of the barbarians, this evaluation is, of course, just talking to his own woman in the boudoir.

In any case, under the watchful eye of Augustus, Ladislaus was listening to the report of Director Jones.

"After the execution and exile of several great Hungarian nobles, pro-Polish activity on the Bohemian side has also recently ceased to exist."

Director Jones was quite proud of the fact that because of the efficiency of the Austrian intelligence agencies, the countercurrent was extinguished before it could grow. "The infiltration of the traitor Szopole into the Slovak region has been destroyed, and last month the roads were cleared, and all the nutrients and spell casting materials of His Highness Frenzberg were safely delivered, with less than five percent of the loss, and seventy-two percent of the food and cloth were safely delivered."

Ladislaus nodded.

Shopo Raoi was a powerful faction in Transylvania, Hungary, and Ladislaus had defeated him many times, even destroying his family's stronghold for several generations, but Ladislaus knew that it was still a long way from completely eliminating him.

Because he had the Ottomans behind him, and now the Poles are to be added.

After a fight. Not only was he unable to marry a Polish princess, but the passage of communication through Poland was also closed, and now supplies to the Transylvanian region could only be carried out through a narrow and dangerous corridor on the north bank of the Danube.

The Ottomans threw thousands of Crimean Tatar cavalry into the region as consumables.

Small pieces of nutrients and spell casting materials are okay, and you can form a strong escort team, while large quantities of supplies. The loss is huge.

Ladislaus is already very satisfied with the arrival of seventy percent, which shows that both the protection work and the anti-corruption work are carried out in depth.

In the current situation, it is obvious that he cannot think about a counterattack on Buda, and keeping Transylvania is a realistic goal.

"Of the property of the Church of the Lord of Flames that has been embezzled by the local nobles, all the real estate has been recovered, and the land and real estate will be partly given to several Hungarian nobles who reported the news, and partly will be auctioned publicly, at your Royal Highness's request. We will try to give priority to immigrants from Saxony and Brandenburg in obtaining property and land. "The two Electors had converted to Bane, and under pressure from the Habsburgs, they did not dare to prevent the inhabitants from leaving, so a large number of Hirek followers were pouring into Austria.

Of course, this work also needs to be guided by the intelligence department.

However, the work of guiding the immigrants from North Germany to the Cirek faith was the responsibility of Director Jones's rival, so he reported it.

Ladislaus nodded with mixed feelings, he had been convinced for the past six months. These immigrants would greatly strengthen his power.

On the banks of the Danube, an immigrant city made up entirely of German immigrants. Much more stubborn and stubborn than the Hungarians resisted.

After the Battle of Buda, the Ottomans turned their attention to Persia and adopted a policy of slow encroachment in eastern Hungary, where they no longer sought to directly conquer a large province but instead instigated rebellion.

The Ottomans hid behind the scenes. Let the Hungarian careerists come against Ladislaus.

They had a strong spy network, and their goals were very limited and reasonable, not seeking to grow themselves, but only to make Austria uncomfortable, so their strategy was quite successful.

Hungarians. There were those who directly supported Shobo Raoyi to oppose him, and there were many who colluded with the Poles.

And the Germans in Hungary had no choice but to support him with all their might.

The Germans were an industrious people, their farming was more productive, so they had a larger population, and they had a long tradition of emigration.

The religious upheavals in Central and North Germany intensified this trend.

This action was also supported by the Church of Rome, and the Pope was determined to hold back a wavering Austria compared to the already devastated North and Central Germany.

"Most of these immigrants are the most devout followers of the Dark Sun, and the campaign to spread the faith of His Majesty the Knight of Ambition among them has yielded little fruit." This result is not an achievement, but Director Jones also has a clear conscience, these immigrants do not even want their homeland in order to preserve their faith, and of course they are the most staunch believers in Ciric.

Ladislaus looked at the taxes offered by the new town, and considering their support for him, and finally reluctantly admitted that he had to accept the immigrants.

"Your Highness, these immigrants are what we urgently need, and with these immigrants, we can no longer send the remaining Hungarian refugees back to Central Hungary." Director Jones pointed to one of Austria's biggest problems in recent times, that his spies have been infiltrating refugee groups. "Especially, those who do not support the rule of Hungary by the great royal family of warlocks."

Vienna and Bratislava, as well as Prague and Breslau, which were farther away from the Ottoman front, had large numbers of Hungarian refugees, and although more than eighty percent of the Kingdom of Hungary was still under the control of Ladislaus, the political significance of Buda and Pest caused a wave of refugees in the unconquered areas.

That's why sometimes it's militarily wise to abandon a city, but politicians don't dare to do it.

Landless people are the right principle, but like many correct principles, they are not easy to implement, because the loss of land often comes with the loss of courage and loyalty.

"Where do you think they should be sent?" Ladislaus's tone raised slightly, and he looked at his intelligence chief expectantly.

"The port of Tripoli is a good choice." Jones said the answer he wanted to hear, and found a true explanation. "Sending them back to the middle reaches of the Danube, it would take too many forts to be built and supplies to open up the wasteland, and the Turks destroyed ditches and wells, which we could not afford. If you go to the Black Continent, you only need to pay for the trip. ”

It would be much cheaper to rebuild ditches and wells than to build new ones, but Jones wouldn't say that at this time.

Ladislaus was in good spirits, for whom the Hungarian refugees were too much trouble. Of course, those who supported him could stay, but in addition to the group that was executed, there were many people who had limited loyalty to him.

The easiest way to integrate them into the army was Ladislaus, and Ladislaus certainly did not fail to do so, in fact Ladislaus had formed several new wings, but the proportion of Hungarians in his army was already too high.

It would be more cost-effective to use limited resources to establish a stronghold for German immigrants.

And in order to send this batch of more than 1,000 refugees to the port of Tripoli, he has exhausted his pocket money, and he cannot convince his state councilor to support the port of Tripoli with the state budget, he cannot even try. Because it would make him appear to be using the public for personal gain.

Austria's power structure and economic situation did not allow him to do so, and he needed to borrow money from foreign countries and issue bonds at very high interest rates in order to cover both the costs of establishing a military settlement in the middle Danube and migrating to the port of Tripoli.

Needless to say, there are political conditions for foreign loans.

Finally, he waited for a state councilor willing to support him.

It's also only natural that with so many reincarnation missions together on them, it's only natural that Jones has become his main supporter.

"How do you think we can convince His Excellency Machiavelli to pass this plan? He's been a little mad by the Transylvanian budget. "Put it in the past. Ladislaus was not going to study with Jones on how to convince Machiavelli anyway.

Rather, he will definitely study with Machiavelli first, and then convince others

"I don't think we can be convinced. Gotta let go, uh, Lord Sibo used victory to convince the others. "Even for the closest associates, saying the last name puts a little pressure on Director Jones." The death of His Highness Meredi and the great octopus in the port of Tripoli, coupled with his ability to bring him closer to a secondary plane, convinced me that this achievement is not something that the reincarnation does not know. But if he does manage to capture a sub-plane, then they all know, but my colleagues are also discussing his impressive achievements in the Black Continent. ”

"Oh, don't say that, it's not all his victory. More of a victory for His Highness Sazastan. Jones's ability to be afraid of sycophants was really high-end, and he knew what his father liked to hear the most, but Ladislaus was modest. And approaching and capturing a plane and capturing a plane are two different things, how many times have we been close to capturing? How many planes have been captured? ”

This is a very difficult question for all samsara.

Director Jones said in a sincere tone: "Of course, His Highness Sazastan has some effect, but if there is no good leader to control her, he will soon turn the organization he is supposed to serve into a subordinate organization of his laboratory. And it's not bad to be able to get close to the sub-plane, after all, he doesn't even have the strength of the elite level, and it's not easy to do this. ”

"Ahaha, Jones, you're exaggerating, at least before becoming a demigod lich, Sazastan still has enough self-control." Ladislaus laughed.

Jones, who knew that his spell had succeeded, continued, "But I believe we do have to help him, and capturing a secondary plane is the greatest victory, if it succeeds. Even if it doesn't work out this time, as long as the other state councilors believe that maybe one day we can share that subplane, they will be willing to invest tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of thalers, and no one can refuse such a temptation. These guys don't have to bear the dangers of reincarnation, but they can share in the benefits of reincarnation, and they don't even know the rules of the game. ”

"We are also for ourselves, for our duty." Ladislaus waved his hand, signaling that this was not the case.

Jones immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, for ourselves, for our own offspring, well, not all for the children." It's really precious to marry a daughter now, and in order to let her have a place in her husband's family, I plan to give her all my shares in the pearl farm! ”

"Huh?!" Ladislaus was struck by Jones's generosity. "Didn't you tell me that the farm's dividends are your biggest income?"

Jones wanted this effect, and he continued: "I'm not working hard for the sake of the child, in order to grasp this opportunity for His Excellency Xibo, Your Highness, you should find him the strongest elite-level supporter, the strongest one." ”

The relationship between the monarch and his subordinates is not always so simple.

The other day. Ladislaus asked Jones to find the strongest "elite" reincarnation to help Wu Xin, a task that was a chore.

There are not a few reincarnators in Austria, but the strongest "elite" level reincarnators cannot guarantee that they can complete the difficult capture mission.

Jones was determined to get the pot out, and cleanly.

"The strongest one, the strongest one." Ladislaus thought for a moment. Then he nodded, "I'll ask Her Majesty Juana how many days to borrow her gardener." ”

"I'm sure Her Majesty will understand." Jones continued to blow violently, and he repeated what Ladislaus had said the other day. "Who can not give face to the regent of Austria?"

Ladislaus was more or less aware of what Jones was doing, but he still decided to accept the other party's suggestion, and even got up and poured Jones a glass of wine: "Tell me again, what did they say about Cesare, what did Judge Hohenzollern and Machiavelli say?" ”

……………….

While both Vienna and Madrid were propelled by Wu Xin's victory, he won a new victory in the Black Continent.

Because there was no wind at all that day, the fire did not burn quickly.

Residents before escaping. They all brought their own furniture.

Most of the people fled to the Xingyue Temple, which was protected by firebreaks, after all, from Amin to the Knights Hospitaller to the warlords, it seems that they had not touched here.

Wu Xin even strictly forbade his subordinates to harass this Xingyue Temple at that time, and some people who colluded with Ah Ming fled into this temple to ask for refuge, but they were not harmed in any way.

After Wu Xin cautiously judged the balance of power, he only took away more than a thousand refugees who were willing to leave with him.

However, unlike the last time, when there were only more than 100 people in half a company, this time, Wu Xin had 500 troops. Everyone has armor, and there is no remnant of Amin outside.

Wu Xin, who had no scruples, showed his fierce fangs.

"I was in too much of a hurry last time. I didn't expect there to be so many resources in this city?! This guy Ah Ming, this guy seems to be murderous, but in fact incompetent. ”

Wu Xin actually has some too high requirements for Ah Ming, and by the standards of ogres, Ah Ming has already done a good job.

But with Wu Xin, he set fire to the city and drove the residents out like rats. Then the round-up operation, he did not dare to do it, but he also wanted to use Zuwara as a base to operate.

Under the coercion of the soldiers, the residents, who had just escaped from the fire, were forced to hand over the furniture they had brought with them.

This was followed by the cries of the residents. They were tied together, not only did their property fall into Wu Xin's hands, but even they became trophies.

In the midst of the miserable rain, only some of the residents who were able to find relatives in Wu Xin's army were lucky enough to save their freedom.

Wu Xin was admiring his possessions and was determined to kill the man who had just surrendered.

Kessler was the first to invite him to see the Xingyue Temple, which was the core of the main warehouse of the scheduled Zhongmu Station.

Walking into the traditional Xingyue porch, Wu Xin felt that this building seemed to be a little distinctive, but he hadn't seen many Xingyue Temples, so he didn't care very much.

As he walked, he asked Kessler the first seat: "It's not that if Pastor Xingyue renounces his faith, there is no one in ten who can survive, and it is even more unheard of to be able to retain the priest rank, what is going on?" I can't keep this pastor, but you don't have to worry about it, I'll do it. ”

Wu Xin actually didn't care much about the cause of the accident, he just didn't plan to leave this pastor's life.

His obsidian viper had recovered, and he would be killed by bite.

However, this old priest now also has the rank of a first-level flame lord priest, so Wu Xin still said to Kessler, he expected that the other party would object, but a mere first-level priest can still persuade the other party to let go.

"What?! No! Kessler was of course against it, but his reasons for opposition were not quite the same as Wu Xin expected. (To be continued......)
