The Rise of the European Emperor

After this trade negotiation, the North Sea Kingdom will also become very conflicted when facing the North Sea Kingdom with the opposition princes. On the one hand, they hope to make money from Beihai State. On the other hand, I am worried that the North Sea country is too strong and out of control...

As for the Beihai state and the vassal states, the future will be divided into winners and losers.

That is to say, Marin is currently considering that England has not been settled yet, plus the huge threat of France. Therefore, I chose to compromise temporarily. Once Marin successfully controls England and obtains enough troops, he will definitely turn his face by then. These vassal states may not be able to survive in the future.

Therefore, Marin now greets these princes with a smile. After all, why bother with a bum who hasn't been around for a few years? Besides, Marin actually didn't suffer.

After reaching a series of cooperation intentions that seemed to be unequal treaties, Marin sent away the princes with a smile on his face. But turning around, Marin quietly arranged for someone to go to Innsbruck to find the emperor to explain.

The reason for the explanation is also very simple - they forced me to...

Marin would not tell the emperor that he not only did not lose money in these trade cooperations, but also made a lot of money. When explaining to the emperor, you must say that you are wronged, saying that you have no interests at all. In this way, the emperor will feel more at ease. After all, not only the vassals feared that the Beihai Kingdom would be too strong, but even the emperor worried that the Beihai Kingdom would be too powerful.

Speaking of it, although Marin intends to carve up Germany with the Habsburg family, he is not willing to cooperate with the current emperor. why? Old fox chant!

Maximilian I was also young and frivolous, but he was quickly taught by reality. After learning lessons, Maximilian I has grown into a qualified politician and old fox. Cooperate with him to carve up Germany? This old fox probably wants more...

On the contrary, his successor has not suffered much, and is more experienced and cunning than His Majesty the Emperor. Therefore, neither Prince Philip nor Prince Charles are as difficult as His Majesty the Emperor, who is almost 60 years old.

Marin was worried that once His Majesty thought he wanted too much, he would turn to unite with the princes to limit himself together. Therefore, when it comes to cooperation, it is more confident to talk with Prince Philip, who is more capable, or Prince Charlie, who is still young and immature.

Moreover, Marin inferred that once the old emperor Maximilian I died, the Habsburg family and the princes would have a battle over the issue of succession to the throne. At that time, no matter whether it is Prince Philip or Prince Charles, they will not have any favor with the princes.

At that time, Marin will act again and cooperate with the troubled young Prince Philip, or the younger Prince Charles. The level of the two means is far inferior to that of the old emperor, and Marin will be able to get more by then.

The most important thing is that at that time, the one who had just been elected to the throne thought that he would spend a huge amount of money to run for the throne, and he must have emptied his family and was unable to compete with him.

But now it is different, the old emperor is in power, although the finances of the Habsburg family are as bad as ever, they have not bottomed out yet. If something big happens, with the background of the Habsburg family, they can still get a lot of money and food. But it is different after running for the throne, because it is destined to cost a lot, and the Habsburg family will also do their best. At that time, they will not have many cards. Cooperating with them at that time, they were just empty shells, and they had no confidence and cards to compete with themselves for benefits.

Moreover, in desperation, the next head of the Habsburg family, in order to ensure the throne, will also take out the purchased Byzantine throne as a bargaining chip to ask Marin for help. At that time, Marin can not only ask for more benefits, but also pick up a title of the throne for nothing.

In other words, Marin is now looking forward to the early death of His Majesty the Emperor. Of course, finish the Swiss war first. After completing the task of "tool man" and attracting the attention of the French and the princes, he will die...

If His Majesty the Emperor knew that Marin thought so, he would probably be so angry that he would pass on the spot...

...

After sending off the princes who had finished discussing cooperation with him with a smile, Marin did not leave, but turned back and went to find Frederick III, Elector of Saxony.

What is he doing to find Frederick III at this time? Of course, I want to have an "open and honest" conversation with the other party!

As the elector of Saxony, Frederick III was not a great speaker or prime minister, but because of his mind and prestige were outstanding among the princes, he was actually the "big brother" of the princes. Talking with him is equivalent to talking with the princes.

Some people may say that among the secular electors, King Vladislas II of Bohemia has the highest status and is more suitable to be the leader of the princes. But Vladislas II was originally a Polish, and he was not very familiar with Germany. Moreover, it is getting old and in poor health. He didn't come to this meeting, only sent a representative. But the representative of the Kingdom of Bohemia didn't speak at all, and didn't stay to "coerce" Marin with the princes, but left early.

Therefore, Frederick III is currently the boss of the secular princes among the princes. At the same time, several religious electors are not very old. For example, the Archbishop of Mainz, born in 1490, is only 27 years old now. Archbishop Hermann V of Cologne is only one year older than Marin, only 40, which is considered very young. Richard, Archbishop of Trier, is 50 years old, but his background is lower, and he is not as wise as Frederick III. Therefore, he can only count as an important vote.

In addition, Frederick III himself had a very close relationship with the Electorate of Brandenburg, which was also an important reason for his heavy voice. Because Joachim I, Elector of Brandenburg, and his younger brother Albert III, Archbishop of Mainz, are members of the Seven Electors. The relationship between the two families is very close, Joachim I and his younger brother Albert III also follow Frederick III as their leader. The Palatine Elector Louis V, who is the same age as Marin, is currently 39 years old, and he is also used to following Frederick III as his leader.

In particular, Archbishop Albert III of Mainz is also the Prime Minister of Shinra and the Speaker of the Grand Chancellor of Germany. Even such a boss listened to him, and Frederick III's right to speak was naturally extremely important.

Marin had a "frank and honest" talk with Frederick III this time, mainly to stabilize the princes. At the same time, to express my "peace-loving" position...
