Chapter 166: The Connotation of Immigration

"I knew that grandson couldn't believe it."

"That grandson, I'm really ##! @! ”

The old Knight de Vrerich was screaming irrationally, and although his daughter quickly put her arms around her father and reluctantly stopped scolding, the gaffe was evident.

Father Erlan, who was delivering food to these people, was also a little confused.

But a few other knights in the German group could probably guess that the "grandson" scolded by old Deverrich seemed to be His Royal Highness the Regent of Austria?

The father of his daughter's lover.

Port of Tripoli Group, one of the largest backstage.

Father Erlan had wanted to inquire about the situation with the Knight of Cassano, but they had been close lately and had been studying what to do if a large number of Austrian immigrants arrived.

Cassano was more calm than Father Erlan, who was like an ant on a hot pan, telling Father Erlan that "with his knowledge of His Highness Ladislaus, those immigrants would not necessarily put the Italians at absolute disadvantage." ”

He wouldn't explain anything further, but the pressure was clearly bringing the two of them closer.

Cassano agreed to support Father Erlan in obtaining immigrants from Italy, and made some contacts through Italian merchants, but even the Italians, who had just experienced the fierce fighting of several great powers, were reluctant to come to the small city-states on the Black Continent, even if Wu Xin had free houses and land here, after all, as long as they were not stupid, everyone could see the military threat faced by the port of Tripoli.

Their actions were fruitless.

Every time a few immigrants come by the way from the merchant fleet, there is no help to the overall situation, there are only two kinds of people, criminals who absconded in fear of crime and bankrupts who have no way out, this is already Wu Xin's lenient classification, he does not count bankrupts as criminals. The latter is also part of the former by the standards of this era.

At this time, Cassano happened to pass by Father Erlan, and he said softly to Father Erlan: "I told you, don't worry so much, I know better than you all about the way of the regent in Vienna. How could he be willing to send those precious German-speaking residents to the Black Continent. You treat them well, these refugees are the same to us as they are to De Verlich, maybe even a little closer to us, and if we treat them well, they will support us. ”

After Cassano finished speaking, he went directly to Wu Xin and old Deverrich.

Father Erlan soon figured out the situation, and he immediately threw himself to work, enthusiastically distributing food to the immigrants who did not speak the language, and greeting them with warmth.

"What the hell is going on. Father? The female knight of Dverrich had not yet realized who his father was angry with, "Who made you so angry?" ”

He didn't answer his daughter's second question, he just answered her previous question: "You listen to what they say." ”

"It's not German........." After listening to it for half a minute, the knight Dverrich also understood the situation, and after a little thought, she understood who her father was cursing.

The regent, whom his father had often praised in recent days, anger arose when there was a gap between ideals and reality.

Cassano also walked over: "You should have thought of it a long time ago. His Royal Highness the Regent himself urgently needs his compatriots who speak German to the extreme, how can it be possible to send German immigrants to the Black Continent. ”

His tone was calm. Try not to misunderstand that he is being sarcastic, and his relationship with Ladislaus makes him speak quite forcefully: "The German immigrants he received from the small states of the Holy Roman Empire must have been sent to establish settlements on both sides of the Danube, and those Hungarians did not like a Habsburg monarch, and those immigrants from the territories of the Witting, Wittesbach, Hohenzollern family were his tentacles that infiltrated Hungary and then gave us the Hungarians who had been driven out of their homes by the Ottomans." That's not bad either. ”

The Hohenzollern and Wittersbach families ruled Brandenburg and Bavaria, both of which had roughly a million people.

The Vitin family ruled a region of a million people, but because they still adhered to the system of equal male inheritance, they ruled a series of small divided states.

"It's not bad, indeed." Old Devlich chuckled bitterly. After understanding the situation, he was quite alert. "For His Royal Highness Ladislaus, I am afraid that the Hungarians are also very precious, and those honest residents, he is reluctant to give us."

"Who dares to say that the believers of the industrious and brave Lord of the Flame are not good immigrants?!" However, the mood of Wu Xin and Kessler's first seat is completely different from the others.

Wu Xin was also angry when he found out that these immigrants were not Austrians, but soon he realized that this was the kind of immigrants he needed.

"Praise you for the warmth you have given us."

"Praise you for giving us light."

Wu Xin understood all languages, so he knew better than others that these inhabitants were not only Hungarians, but also Slovaks, as well as some Romanians and Croats.

Although the Austrians and Bohemians were clearly eliminated, the other devout followers of the Lord of the Flames, Ladislaus, were indeed thrown into the Black Continent.

"Should I call my leader His Highness Sibo now?" Most of the immigrants were in rags, so Alvin-Helsing's clean and neat clothes stood out from the crowd, not to mention the mage's robes.

"Yes, now I'm Sibo." Wu Xin shook his hand and asked Odd Kessler to introduce them.

"Ah, Arvin!" Ode Kessler's voice was full of surprise, "It's nice to see you again, it's so good." ”

Odd Kessler wanted to catch up with this mage again, but Alvin Helsing just nodded to him, then turned to Wu Xin and said: "Your Highness Sibo, they are not all followers of the Lord of the Flame, we have not been in operation in Hungary for a long time, and we have not accumulated too many devout followers, and many of these Hungarians are the remnants of the die-hard family of the Agrony royal family, and your father claimed to be a follower of His Majesty the Lord of the Flame in order to find an excuse to forgive them." ”

The House of Agronni is a continental royal family of Lithuanian origin, and its long branch rules the second most populous country on the continent, after the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth of France.

The younger branch ruled Hungary until more than a decade ago, when the last Hungarian king of the House of Agronni was killed by the Ottoman army on the battlefield of Mojachi, and then Ladislaus-Habsburg took the opportunity to advance eastward. and the Ottoman Empire on both sides of the Danube.

For Ladislaus, these families with close ties to the former royal family are of course a trouble, and Wu Xin feels that these people will not like him either.

"Although there are now two Hungarians in the Council of State of His Royal Highness Ladislaus. But you can understand that there must have been quite a few great Hungarian nobles who didn't get any place in the Viennese court, and many people were disappointed when Buda was an independent regime, but your..., uh, His Royal Highness Ladislaus. Seeing Wu Xin's face, Master Helxin still changed his title. They were all silent when they had the upper hand against the Ottomans under His Royal Highness Ladislaus. But now, they want the Agronys to rule over them, and His Majesty Sigismund of Poland does not seem to be able to resist this temptation. ”

Although Vienna and Transylvania were connected by land, there were few roads between those territories and they were harassed by Ottoman cavalry, so the connection between Vienna and Transylvania depended mainly on the diversion from Poland.

Not only the liaison messengers, but also a large number of supplies also relied on the Polish passage. This greatly strengthened the position of the Polish king on the Hungarian question.

"But he doesn't have a second son?!" Odd Kessler was puzzled by the situation. "His Majesty Sigismund has only one son, right? Things have changed recently? No way, his queen is nearly forty years old. His Majesty the Emperor will never allow the True Pope to divorce them............."

It was not for nothing that the Habsburgs had provoked widespread hatred, and the emperor of Madrid, relying on Milan and Naples to clamp down on the situation in Central Italy, had seized the power that belonged to the true chosen pope, and any monarch who threatened them could not get a divorce, and it was even more dangerous. The Habsburgs also intervened in the appointment of bishops and archbishops in various countries.

Helsin smiled slightly, but Wu Xin said it before him: "Hmph, isn't that just right, he doesn't have a son, so the Hungarian nobles can get his military protection at the same time." And the interior can do its own thing. ”

"Indeed, Your Excellency." Helsin bowed slightly, expressing his admiration for Wu Xin's keen judgment. "The present situation is that Princess Isabella Yagrone, who has already been married to Her Royal Highness Ladislaus, is likely to be a candidate for the Hungarian throne, and the Polish king and his wife seem to be half-heartedly discussing the amount of the dowry with the Viennese side, while at the same time looking for a son-in-law and king of Hungary among the great Hungarian nobles."

"So the fiasco in Buda made these people determined to jump out and hope that Warsaw would rule Hungary, and these people were naturally a thorn in the side of His Royal Highness the Regent of Ladislaus, a thorn in the flesh." Wu Xin's face immediately turned yin again, but Wu Xin still tried his best to control himself. "He gave me an immigration, and I helped him do some dirty work, and it was a matter of course."

Helsing is understandable that Wu Xin does not call Ladislaus his father, but he disagrees.

"Oh no, it's not." Helsing added. "His Royal Highness Ladislaus has done all the dirty work, for the princess, several big nobles have internal conflicts, some people have reported to His Royal Highness Ladislaus, His Royal Highness Frenzberg has killed people, these immigrants are just those big nobles who are not very firm supporters, housekeepers and cronies and their families, and some peripherals, involving several big nobles who have been in contact with the Polish side, have been executed, their titles have been stripped away, and their property has been confiscated, after this incident, The marriage of His Royal Highness Ladislaus and the Polish princess is, of course, not very promising. ”

"But for Your Excellency, the situation is good, most of these people are Hungarian nobles who stayed in Transylvania, and some Hungarian nobles who have moved to Vienna are also involved in this matter, it is foreseeable that there will be some heads to land, for the sake of their own heads, there will definitely be people who will convert, and we should have a group of immigrants." Gen Helsing was a Hungarian himself, but his tone was rather aloof.

Of course, Wu Xin has no position to accuse him, is this loyalty to the new monarch?

This intelligence delighted all those present, and for them, it was an excellent thing.

And Wu Xin can feel the power of faith exuded by these immigrants, almost everyone has it, and it seems that there is a little more than having no choice.

Gen Helsing then explained why: "But in the last half month on the ship, there is an old priest who has regained a little ability, so he has been working very hard to preach, and the future of most of these immigrants is uncertain, so the results are very good. ”

Wu Xin then saw the old pastor as well, his clothes ragged like those of other refugees, and he needed to be identified by Odd Kessler to identify him.

Obviously, during the days on the ship, only the mage who had maintained the ability to cast spells had been treated with the courtesy of Captain Liguria.

Wu Xin's idea was completely right, as a "backbone" mage who could cast third-level magic, Alwyn Helsing had always been given a large room second only to the captain, and the first mate and the second mate could only share the original second mate's room.

Of course, because he was not exiled, he was one of the most friendly Habsburgs among the Hungarians, so Ladislaus gave him many preferential treatments, and the Grand Rank was only one of them.

There was really nothing to say about his loyalty to Wu Xin, and not only did he come all the way to take refuge, but he also immediately provided information and advice: "More than 80 percent of these people are from Hungary, if you can, speak to them in Hungarian." ”

Wu Xin could speak bumpy Hungarian, but he didn't intend to do so, so he asked Oder Kessler to introduce him to the mage, and learned that the other party was a follower of Kashas, who had escaped the Battle of Buda by going to Vienna to study on exchange.

Being able to return to oneself in the current situation shows that loyalty and recognition are extremely high.

However, Wu Xin still has to shout in Latin, which is a very important issue.

"I'm calling in Latin, you can translate it for me." Wu Xin asked the mage to help him, and Master Helsin nodded yes.

He was confident in his Latin, but his Hungarian was very average, but fortunately Wu Xin did not speak at length.

"A warmest welcome, my compatriots. I am Cesare Sibo, the guardian of the port of Tripoli, and being able to reunite in the Black Continent is the best thing of our lives. Together, we can create a new life here. I also know that some of you are not entirely willing, but I assure you that here you will feel warm and welcoming, and you will also have a bright future. Please have a sip of hot porridge and then go and see the home I have prepared for you. ”

Wu Xin's speech was short, but powerful. (To be continued......)
