Chapter 116: Las Dillaus occupies Wallaždin

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about matters in the Council of Nobles, Croatia is your staunch supporter, and I'm sure everyone will be happy to see you receive the Crown of St. Stephen."

Ansel bowed his head slightly, smiling as they were now on their way to Zagreb, and along the way, Ansel told Laszlo a lot about Croatia.

"Oh... So, Ansel, do you know Magash? On the way here, I often hear the name of this person, is there anything special about him? ”

Laszló tugged at the reins slightly, controlling the horse's speed and not letting it go too fast.

"Of course, of course, Your Majesty,"

Ansel must know, after all, the son of Yanos has been the focus since he was born,

"Margash, a little ghost, a man of fifteen, what else can you expect him to do? In my opinion, Margash is not guilty, Your Majesty, the most hateful are those who want to put Margash on the throne, those are the most hateful. ”

"In your opinion, perhaps we should seek the support of Margashi so that our journey can go smoothly."

Laszlo said nonchalantly, keeping his eyes on the horizon.

"Of course, you know, whoever owns so much assets and land can be put on the throne, if not Margash, there will be others, Nero, Caligula, Commodus... You should understand what I mean, it's possible for everyone, and people only care about the person's wealth and power, but never about his morals and heart, ironically, right? ”

Ansel sneered, Laszlo did not reply, people want to live in an era of ease and freedom, such a situation can only be brought about by a strong country, and the monarch of such a country should also be wise and victorious, but unfortunately, a strong country, his subjects are often not very happy.

"Of course, we are sure that you will be a very productive monarch, and this is a consensus in Croatia,"

Ansel also did not forget to pat Laszlo's ass, it didn't hurt him,

"In fact, the needs of our nobles are also very simple, stability, freedom and wealth, you should understand that not everyone is Julius Caesar, and not everyone wants to be Julius Caesar, although there will be some fools, but in fact, such people obviously do not live long."

To understand the actions of a person, a region, a class, and a government, first of all, you have to understand their fundamental demands, the aristocracy is not all war maniacs, nor is it all afraid that the world will not be chaotic, for the old nobles, they are to be stable, stability is the most important, their purpose is to pass on the family heritage, if it can be carried forward and better, even if it doesn't work, it can't be reversed, this is the appeal of the old nobles, and the emerging nobles or want to become nobles are different, they want war, Because this is their only chance to climb upwards, there is nothing else to do.

On the other hand, this proves why Constantine's assessment is epoch-making, because he arranges another kind of passage, another opportunity to cross classes, not everyone is willing to play with their lives, life is precious, because he only has one time.

And in this poor era with few entertainment facilities, the hatred and ridicule between the nobles are actually more to pass the time, and some people look down on each other because of a quarrel, are the nobles so rude and so inflexible? In fact, because there was nothing to do, they paid special attention to detail, and the Croatian and Hungarian nobles sometimes looked down on each other, in fact, just to have fun.

When he was about to enter the city, Ansel finally couldn't help it, and asked Laszló about Ulrich.

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, Count Ulrich does not know... Where is it now? ”

Not long after departing from Belove, Ulrich inexplicably vanished, much to Ansel's confusion.

"Ulrich has already gone to Pest with my banner and with great fanfare, don't worry, it's just a little ploy of mine."

In order to prevent the nobles of Pest and Transylvania from uniting to fight back against Croatia, and in order to gain time, Laszllo asked Ulrich to pretend to be himself and rushed to Pest, constantly releasing news along the way, so that the nobles in Pest City mistakenly thought that the army was coming directly to them, so as to have time to obtain enough weapons and food in Croatia.

Ansel nodded inexplicably, not asking more, and it would be a bit rude to ask more.

"My subjects, the former King Albrecht II, as King of the Roman people, King of Bohemia and Hungary, enjoyed great prestige throughout Christendom, and it is no exaggeration to say that it was not only the pride of me, the Habsburgs, but the pride of Christendom as a whole,"

Albrecht II was Laszlo's father, Laszló never looked at his father, and all along, Laszlo's impression of him could only be known from the mouths of others,

"King Albrecht II was worthy of his status, as the protector of Christendom, who died in battle against Murad II while the Ottoman Turks were still not expelled, and he was a true Christian warrior,

And as the king of Hungary, he died in Nasmej for the sake of Hungary, and for the benefit of the Hungarian-Croatian United Kingdom, he did not fear life and death, and now, I, Laszlo, will inherit my father's business, and at the same time, as Caesar of the Roman Empire, fight to the end for the people of this land and for those who try to upset this wonderful land! ”

At the council of nobles in Zagreb, in front of the nobles of all Croatia, Laszlo directly played the emotional card, Albrecht II is indeed a more effective king, although he has not been crowned by the pope, but he is more like the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire than Frederick III, who was crowned by the pope, at least in history, Frederick III even lost Vienna, which simply disgraced the Habsburgs, if it weren't for the fact that the Habsburgs began to monopolize the throne since Frederick III, And he also did a lot of work at the diplomatic level, such as elevating Austria to the status of a Grand Duchy, providing the basis for Austria's transcendent status, and Frederick III would simply be sprayed to death,

Whereas.. U is also Frederick III's whole out, nothing else, engage in these astrology and other gods and gods, Frederick III still has a set, as I said before, the Holy Roman Empire now only has the two crowns of Bohemia and the Romans, the Hungarian crown and the Burgundian crown are not yet, both of which are independent kingdoms, Laszló is not the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, and the Hungarian crown is naturally not Shinlo's, Therefore, Frederick III's promotion of the status of the Grand Duchy actually made the Archduke of Austria second only to the emperor, and above the other electors, dukes, and counts. 33

Touching the scene, coupled with the fact that the Croatian aristocracy is indeed a loyal royalist, Laszlo's speech got an unexpected ending, and the whole Croatia was in a frenzy, and he forced Laszlo to make up 30,000 soldiers, which made Laszlo overjoyed,

"Ansel, you go to Valaždin first, and we're ready to set off for Pest!"

Laszlo was in high spirits, and his cloak hunted.

Valaždin is also in Croatia in the traditional sense, and after receiving the support of the Croatian nobility, it can be expected that there will be no problem in taking Valaždin.

I won't go into details, but all in all, Laszlo went fairly smoothly in the process of entering the city, but when he wanted to set off to the next location, a piece of news came and disrupted his plans,

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I'm incompetent! I'm sorry for you! ”

Ulrich burst into Laszlo's tent, crying and shouting, it was rare for a big man to cry like this.

Laszlo got up and slapped the table,

"What's going on? You speak slowly, don't rush. ”

"I obeyed His Majesty's orders and set up camp outside the city of Pest, just bluffing, at first, the people in the city of Pest were indeed frightened, just watching, not daring to go out of the city, but... But..."

Ulrich sobbed and couldn't speak, which made Laszlo anxious,

"But what?"

"But one day, I don't know where the army came from, all dressed in black armor, the number was about eight thousand, first the artillery bombarded our camp, and then the charge of the heavy cavalry, the opponent's will to fight was very high, we really tried our best, from morning to afternoon, while fighting and retreating, the other side withdrew, the troops... More than half of the casualties are my fault, Your Majesty..."

Laszlo was stunned, the cavalry brought by Ulrich were all carefully selected and personally trained by him, and all of them were good soldiers, but now he actually suffered more than half of the casualties here, and he was angry just to hear the news.

"Do you know who the leader of the other party is? Where did it come from? What are the requirements? ”

"It must be Magash, Your Majesty."

Ansel on the side interjected, Ulrich was crying very sadly just now, making him not easy to speak.

"Huh? You know? ”

Laszlo was shocked, as long as he knew where the other party came from, it would be easy to do.

"With black armor all over his body and a strong will to fight, it must be the black army formed by Magash,"

Ansel's face was pensive, and he began to tell Laszlo everything about the Black Army,

"As early as before the death of His Highness Argash, Margas proposed to form a mercenary standing army, which was appreciated and supported by Arnos, but all this time, no one knew how large Magas had developed it, and no one knew what they looked like, only heard rumors about it."

Obviously, the army formed by Magash not only integrates the current firearms technology, but also is well-trained and agile, which can be called a very good army, and it can be imagined that Urban is a Hungarian engineer, and it can be imagined that Hungary's firearms technology will certainly not be very backward, and perhaps it will be in the forefront of this era.

Some people died, but not completely......
