066. The Beautiful Juta Maiden (6)
The muskets exploded with astonishing power on this battlefield.
After taking the fort, none of the musketeers were injured, they lined up alone, not allowing others to approach and touch the muskets.
The gunpowder can be fired eight more times.
These musketeers, who are not used for other purposes, will be transferred to logistics when the gunpowder is exhausted.
Bran stepped into his twenty-eighth day.
With the exception of one count who supported Nehdomon, all the other lords wrote to inform Bran that they would not do anything to challenge Milan's authority.
For the lords who are aware of the current affairs, Bran is not embarrassed, and he can find a way to recover the land of these people in the future.
The counts, who had taken refuge in Bran, drew nearly 4,000 more men into the battlefield.
Victory is just around the corner.
Milan's army forces were almost all committed, and the territory was empty.
If civil strife broke out at this time, it would be very troublesome, so before the war, in the name of the National Council, Bran detained the nobles from Venice, as well as the family members of the mountain lords, and sat in the palace of the high court to wait for the war to end.
But after a thousand calculations, Bran did not expect that the interests of the Judas and the Illusory Order, as well as the nobility of Venice, would suddenly explode.
In recent years, after gaining a foothold in Milan, the Judits relied on their own order to attract Judas from all directions.
Bran had promised them the protection of the faith, and today there are nearly 80,000 Judits living in Milan and nearly 20,000 in Venice.
They carried out agriculture and crafts, which brought a lot of tax revenue to Milan.
But the Judits are also good at finance, and they trust each other far more than other groups.
There is even a claim that a Judit dropped a gold coin on a Judit street and came back three days later, and the coin was still there.
Earlier in Venice, although they had funds, they did not have official protection support, and all loans had to be dependent on the Venetian aristocracy, so although the business was too much, the profits were meager.
Venice is now protected by the Milanese garrison.
Bran also allowed the Judits to form an army to protect their own trading rights in Venice.
Since last year, the Judits have set up a number of currency houses, money banks, shops, and businesses throughout the port of Venice.
Seeing these Jutas, who had previously been able to act only as stewards for themselves, controlled considerable wealth in the city.
These aristocrats and merchants in Venice joined forces to resist, and even created many conflicts, which led to bloodshed.
The Judits were now gaining momentum, and with the help of the Judits in Milan, the conflict was of little avail, and several Venetian nobles were even killed.
After Bran came forward to understand the incident, he considered the impact and played fifty boards each.
But the nobles of Venice began to get in touch with the Visionary Priesthood, who hated heresy.
When Bran set out on the expedition, he took a large number of soldiers with him, and only a part of Venice's defense was left, so it was not possible to maintain law and order as carefully and comprehensively as before.
On this day, a Venetian merchant entered the currency shop of the Judits to exchange money.
The merchant exchanged the gold florin coins he received from the Frankish merchant for local silver coins.
Everything was fine, but as soon as he walked out of the gate, the merchant yelled, and the Judits moved and exchanged them for counterfeit silver coins.
Under the clamour, many Venetians surrounded the shop.
And under the fiddling of well-intentioned people, in the end, the store was smashed and the funds inside were robbed.
The Venetian guild had a good conversation with some of the nobles, and when the Judits reported the crime, they were detained and imprisoned for tax evasion and counterfeiting.
Over the next three days, a great deal of unfavorable news came out about the Judas.
Since the Judits found Milan as a backer in the past two years and could do financial business in peace, a large number of Judits pooled their funds and handed them over to the commercial Judas, who lent a large amount of debt to the Venetians.
But a sudden riot in the city destroyed twelve Juditas shops and burned a large number of IOUs.
This angered the Jutas, who, without waiting for the Judits of Milan to arrive, recruited their own men to destroy the Venetian shops, and after the bloody conflict ensued.
The people of the Illusory Order encouraged the people to pay off the debts of these heretics.
In the early years, there were still a large number of Judits as low-level laborers, with men digging dung and going into the water, and women accompanying wine and weaving.
People can accept people they don't know, and they are soaring,
But it is difficult to agree that a person who is not as good as himself has a better life than himself.
Unrest struck suddenly, spreading from Venice to Milan, and some Judits panicked and began to hoard weapons in preparation for possible unrest.
This behavior was even more taboo against the Milanese aristocracy, and it also gave the clergy more tongues.
The good news of the victory in front came, but the fire in the backyard was also received by the Grand Duke.
On this day, the Grand Duke who was in Gentle Township heard his subordinates knocking on the door in a hurry.
"Your Highness, someone from Venice said that the Judites rebelled and killed more than seventy Venetians!"
Howard woke up immediately.
He got up and asked the maid to tidy up her appearance, called someone to ring the bell, and called all the nobles in the High Court Palace to a meeting.
After he got up, the little lover on the bed also opened his eyes and wrapped himself around the Grand Duke like a snake.
This is a new little lover, who has just been with Howard for four months and is sixteen years old.
"Your Highness, we'll sleep more."
Howard ignored him, national politics mattered.
Just as he was about to go out of the door, the little lover suddenly said, "I have a child, Your Highness, what the court physician said, do you think it will be a little boy?"
The lover didn't get the expected reaction, and Howard just said lightly to Marlene, who was beside him, "Look at her." ”
is strong as a mother, and with the prestige of controlling the Gaoting Palace for many years, in the backyard, Marlene is actually stronger than the hostess Zoe.
"Ma'am."
This little lover was a little afraid of Marlene, but when he thought of the child in his belly, his eyes suddenly lit up again.
But before the proud words could be spoken, Marlene said.
"After you give birth to a child, you can get a sum of money, and starting today, you will leave His Highness's bedroom."
The little lover suspects that she has misheard, but Marlene calls the maid to invite her out, and then rearranges the room.
"Find another obedient and well-behaved girl for Your Highness."
"Yes, ma'am."
The little lover doesn't know what he's wrong, and that's Howard's order.
He didn't need illegitimate children, he knew that once a woman had a child, she would want to rely on the child for more.
There is no need to have a child's lover life in the backyard of the High Court.
Otherwise, the child may grow up and kill his orthodox relatives for the title.
This woman can get a sum of money, a room, and raise a child, and this is the best place for her.
In the corridor, there was a cry from the little lover, she didn't know why it was like this?
It's not the first time Marlene has done such a thing, she has also been soft-hearted and scared.
But one day Howard told himself that these women, who don't understand anything, have empty skins, will also be men's playthings in the future.
Let them enter the palace by yourself, educate them all kinds of knowledge, eat sea, land and air food, listen to the best music, and watch the best performances.
When they have children, they are not restricted from remarrying, and they have already gotten a lot.
As this kind of thing has been done more, Marlene also deeply agrees with the Grand Duke's words.
She was the chief of the most powerful female officials in the principality, her son was allowed to use the surname Chaman, she was a great nobleman, and it was His Highness who should be considered, not these commoners.
She and the little lover walked to the opposite hallway.
Today's high court, there are eighty maids, working with eight female officials, Ma Lian is wearing a long skirt, followed by four maids, and she is extremely majestic.
When she reached a porch, her son was playing with Henry, and Lady Zoe was there.
She stepped forward and saluted Zoe respectfully before sitting down.
"Where's Grandfather?"
"National Council."
The two girls then looked at the two children and smiled with satisfaction.
When the Grand Duke summoned his ministers and asked about the turmoil between Venice and Milan, he hesitated.
The clergy persevered, accusing the Judits of being a scourge, and the nobles of Venice came by boat overnight.
He denounced the Judas for their extravagance and waste in Venice, their belief in alien gods, and their criticism of state affairs.
Of course, the chiefs of the Judites also came to the palace.
As one of the chiefs, Pera also found a gift to enter the palace.
When she was allowed to meet the Grand Duke alone, her gift was revealed.
She was her daughter, and one of the most beautiful maidens among the 80,000 Judits in Milan.
