Chapter 454: People are not the same
"His Royal Highness."
After a period of half-madness and half-stupidity, the woman finally said everything she wanted to say, and the translator received it smoothly and translated it into Chinese.
"According to the woman, her name is Leonor, and she is ......"
After the translation of the translation, Zhu Zhanyan solved his doubts.
He had been suspicious before, wondering why the resistance in Vienna was not strong, even if the Ming army was caught off guard by Vienna, but after the Habsburgs lost the throne of the Holy Roman Empire a hundred years ago, the base of the Habsburgs was transferred from Eagle Castle to here, and there should not be no resistance at all.
You must know that the enemies of the Habsburgs are not only Zhu Zhanqi, but also Sigismund, the Holy Roman Emperor, and a number of old-school nobles are their enemies.
Once Vienna was lost, the Habsburg stronghold was gone, so the strength of Vienna's defense was unreasonable.
And now, he finally learned all about it from the woman named Leonor, and finally found out that he had inadvertently caught a big man.
Leonor is the daughter of Duarte I, the son of Dujoão I of the Grape Bud Kingdom, the granddaughter of the current King of the Grape Bud Kingdom and the daughter of the future King of the Grape But Kingdom.
Therefore, this Leonor's identity is very unusual, but this is not the most unusual.
Leonor's mother was defeated in both palace and political battles, and both of Leonor's sisters were killed as a result, and she was originally abandoned because her mother thought it inconvenient to take her with her when she fled.
However, as fate would have been, Leonore was exiled to the Kingdom of Burgundy, where she was helped by her aunt, Isabelle, Duchess of Burgundy, to end her wandering career.
In addition to helping her end her wandering career, Leonor's aunt also introduced her to a marriage, and this marriage was completed in the presence of a person who Zhu Zhanyan knew very well.
Yolanda of Aragon.
Yolanda and Leonor were not related by blood, but Alfonso V, the king of the Kingdom of Aragon, was Leonor's uncle, and Alfonso V at that time failed in his western expedition to the Kingdom of Naples, was defeated by the combined forces of the Kingdom of Naples and the Kingdom of Gena, and died of serious injuries, which led to Jolanda becoming Leonor's wedding witness.
In addition to this unusual, this Leonor is also a little unusual.
Her husband was Frederick III.
Sound familiar?
That's right, it was the king of the Kingdom of Sicily, who was forced by the Ming army to escape by boat, but forever slept at the bottom of the Mediterranean.
When he heard this, Zhu Zhanyan had a feeling of crying and laughing.
He didn't care about Frederick III before, he just thought he was the king of the simple Kingdom of Sicily, because there were too many names for these European white pigs, such as John, George, etc., and there were countless of them.
The same was true of Frederick III at the beginning, and Zhu Zhanqi only regarded him as a person with the same surname, and did not think of it as a member of the Habsburg dynasty at all.
However, it wasn't this that made him laugh or cry.
According to historical records, the Holy Roman Empire was briefly disturbed after Sigismund's death, as Sigismund had no sons, so his only daughter had the right to inherit.
Historically, Sigismund was succeeded to the throne of the Holy Roman Empire by Albrecht, the husband of his daughter Elizabeth, but Albrecht died in battle soon after, leaving only a widow, Radius.
If all roads lead to Rome, then Radilaus is a man who was born in Rome.
He was born to the highest positions in the Kingdom of Hungary, the Kingdom of Bohemia, and the Holy Roman Empire.
However, the puppet is not guilty and is guilty.
It is a sin for a newborn child to sit on the supreme position of two kingdoms and one empire.
Not long after, Ladelaus, who was born in Rome, was killed, and his cousin, a Habsburg nobleman, inherited everything from him.
And this Habsburg nobleman was Frederick III.
In other words, because of the appearance of Zhu Zhanqi, coupled with a surprise attack he launched, the next emperor recorded in the history books of the Holy Roman Empire died early.
Not only that, but according to historical records, it was his son Maximilian I who succeeded to the throne of the Holy Roman Empire after Frederick III.
However, at this moment, Maximilian I had not yet been born.
Therefore, because Zhu Zhan is gone, not only Frederick III is gone, but even Maximilian I is gone, which also verifies why Vienna, the old nest of the Habsburgs, is so weakly defended.
Because the Habsburgs ...... In a hurry.
For the Habsburgs, Sigismund had no sons but only a daughter, and the Habsburgs were related to this daughter, and in the future they just had to wait until Sigismund died.
Which is easier to deal with, an emperor who has been on the throne for a long time, or an emperor who has just taken office?
Undoubtedly, the one who just took office.
Perhaps this is also the case in history, otherwise why would Albrecht, as Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, die on the battlefield shortly after succeeding to the throne? And so coincidentally left a posthumous son, and it has something to do with the Habsburgs?
Also, Why did Ladilauth die mysteriously before he was even two years old?
To say that all this has nothing to do with the Habsburgs, Zhu Zhanyan does not believe it.
Therefore, it is likely that the current empty Vienna is due to the early death of Frederick III, which caused the Habsburgs to feel that they had lost control of what was supposed to win, so they had to make other plans.
Most likely, they were going to Aachen, because Aachen was located in the North Sea, one hundred and fifty miles south of the coast at the outlet of the English Channel.
In other words, it was the appearance of Wang Jinghong's fleet that made Sigismund's situation far inferior to that of him at the same time in history, and also made the Habsburgs see the only chance after the death of Frederick III.
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanyan smiled slightly, and had an idea in his heart.
"Zhu Ling."
"The villain is here."
"She'......" Zhu Zhanyan pointed to Leonor, who was sitting on the ground and looking distracted.
"Give it to Agnès."
"Yes!" Zhu Ling bowed down to receive the order, and then quickly called a few princes to escort him.
However, the prince's guards did not do it directly, but went out of the city and brought the carriage that Agnès was riding in, who was still outside the city, and then Agnès took Leonor away.
"Ask the others." Zhu Zhan pointed to the Habsburgs who were still trembling around them.
For Leonor's words, he believes, but not completely.
The trust was because he knew that this Leonor had great ambitions, and that she did not marry Frederick III because her aunt had asked her to marry Frederick III.
At first, Leonor's aunt gave her two choices, one was Frederick III and the other was Charles VII.
That's right, it was the king Charles VII of the French Kingdom who took the family and his lover Agnès, as well as the hero of their French kingdom, Joan of Arc, to seek Zhu Zhan's help, but was killed by Zhu Zhan's knife.
At that time, Leonor chose Frederick III because she knew that Frederick III was very likely to become the next Holy Roman Emperor after Sigismund, and if she married him, Leonor would become the Empress of the Holy Roman Empire.
Although Charles VII was already the king of the Kingdom of France, marrying him would give him the status of queen directly, and the Kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire, one in Western Europe and the other in Central Europe, were both empires with great territory, but in fact there were great differences.
It is true that Frederick III was not yet the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, but from the perspective of Sigismund's situation, the possibility of the Habsburgs taking the throne of the Holy Roman Empire is extremely high, and once successful, only Frederick III will become the Holy Roman Emperor.
In contrast, Charles VII, although already the king of the Kingdom of France, was not actually an officially recognized king, because the officially recognized king of France was actually Henry VI of England, and Charles VII was only a nominal successor to the throne, but in fact he was nothing more than a royal son.
And he is also a prince who is fleeing everywhere to seek refuge.
Such a comparison is a judgment.
A person with great ambition will never be willing to face death, which is why Leonor was so excited before and so depressed after speaking.
And......
When Leonor was taken away by Agnès, Zhu Zhanyan clearly saw a light flashing in Leonor's eyes, and the name of this light was hope.
Thinking of this, the corners of Zhu Zhanyan's mouth pulled an arc.
In medieval Europe, people liked to play with marriages, and it was not uncommon for cousins and even cousins to marry.
In such an environment, not only have a large number of interest groups with extremely strong connections have been cultivated, but women have also been cultivated into characters who are very good at using their beauty and bodies to get what they want.
Three of them are the best of the best.
First, Yolanda of Aragon.
Second, there was Jeanne II of Naples.
Third, there is Margrethe I of the Kingdom of Denmark.
Now it seems that this Leonor is also such a woman, and in comparison, this Leonor may be better than Agnès in this regard.
Thinking of this, the curvature of the corners of Zhu Zhan's mouth expanded again.
Agnès, a woman, was originally ambitious and wanted to achieve what she had not achieved with Charles VII through herself, but she was defeated by the situation and reality, and was trained by Zhu Zhan to be obedient.
Now, Zhu Zhanyan wants to see how capable this Leonos can be.
She was able to get on Frederick III's thigh through her aunt, but she didn't necessarily succeed on her own.
Because, people are not the same.
Frederick III's ultimate goal was to become Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, even if he wanted to rule all of Europe.
What about Zhu Zhanyan?
What he wanted was to destroy Europe, and even if he didn't do it, it would only leave a very small number of young people as slaves.
As for women......
Hehe, the machines that say that they give birth to cubs are a little high, if Zhu Zhanyan's ultimate goal is really achieved, they may only become playthings and commodities.
Perhaps, Leonor will be the first for other women to experience this final ending.
After all, she was originally a woman who was going to be the Empress of the Holy Roman Empire, and since she was an empress, wouldn't everything in this world have to be enjoyed by her first?
