The Rise of the European Emperor

()

() In the Principality of Schleswig, Marin suspended the plan to march due to the implementation of political means. Otherwise, if the political means have not yet worked, they will rush into the Electoral State of Saxony, which will easily be used by Frederick III.

For example, the secular princes were still hesitating to form a coalition to fight Marin. If Marin hurriedly led his troops south, Frederick III might have taken advantage of this crisis situation and said to the princes:

"I don't have time to explain, hurry up and get in the car... Abu, it's time to send troops..."

Those princes who didn't make up their minds might be pulled into the chariot of Frederick III in a hurry to join the war with Marin.

In fact, Marin was not necessarily afraid of the coalition forces formed by those secular princes. As long as the religious princes didn't join the war, Marin had a chance to win.

However, even if he could win, Marin would not choose to go to war with most of the secular princes. Because as long as the blood is shed, it will be difficult to reconcile in the future. Just like Huaxia in later generations, it is difficult to forgive Dongying devils.

Marin is a man who wants to become an overlord, but what are the prerequisites for being an overlord? It is a huge prestige, able to do a hundred responses.

But if this time it is with most of the secular princes, it will be over. If he lost, Marin would have to flee overseas with his family. This situation, of course, is not what Marin wants to see.

Even if he wins, Marin won't end well, and the hatred with those secular princes is established like this. In the future, whatever Marin wants to do, let alone a hundred responses, it will be considered a good thing not to be unanimously opposed.

Therefore, what Malin really fears is not the fighting power of the feudal alliance, but the collective hatred of the feudal lords. Therefore, after listening to Mikel's suggestion, Marin did not immediately march south, but first busy bribing the princes in order to break up the anti-Marin alliance.

At the same time, Marin took the risk of offending the Habsburg family and publicly supported the self-government tradition of the princes, which was also one of the important means to break the game.

even though,

After doing so, the two sides may not be human. But, at least, Marin will no longer be regarded as the emperor's lackey by the princes, and the risk of being beaten by a group is also reduced. The big deal, Marin will form a system of its own in the future, becoming a third-party force other than the emperor's faction and the prince's faction. Moreover, with an army of 40,000, Marin has the strength to become a third-party force on his own.

Moreover, Marin's diplomacy can not be regarded as a failure. At the very least, those religious princes, when their father-in-law was the Pope, had to give themselves some thin noodles. Although it is not possible to form an alliance with himself (after all, Marin is not good at publicizing that the Pope is his father-in-law, which cannot be made public), but those religious princes and themselves can maintain a friendly relationship of non-aggression, which can still be achieved.

As for Maximilian I, although Marin later made amends and sold Switzerland to the emperor. However, Marin's public disobedience to the emperor left a rift between the two sides.

Even if Marin made such a move as a last resort, the Habsburg family must be very unhappy. In the future, it will be difficult for Marin to be regarded as a complete self by the Austrian side.

Although the two sides did not turn against each other because of the sale of Switzerland to the Habsburg family, from now on, the relationship between the two sides will be downgraded from a hard-core ally to an ally of ordinary interests.

However, this is also an opportunity for Marin, an opportunity to stand on his own...

As a traveler, you should naturally be the protagonist. Why would Marin be willing to be the maid of Emperor Maximilian I? However, as a noble, honor and fame are very important. Marin's own fortune started from the horse boy of Emperor Maximilian I. It is inevitable that he will be labeled as "emperor horse boy" and cannot be washed away.

If you take the initiative to leave the emperor's subordinates, although there are enough benefits, you will definitely have a bad reputation. The notoriety of an anti-bone boy and a traitor cannot be escaped.

In the future, if Marin wants to do something or interact with someone, he may be ridiculed by someone—"Humph, a traitor!" In ancient China, he might be detained by someone like "Three surnames" like Lu Fengxian did. Slave" big hat.

In fact, the Lu Bu family just chose the most favorable choice for themselves, but in ancient times, this was a sign of infidelity. Therefore, Lu Bu has a bad reputation.

Marin had been following in the footsteps of Maximilian I before, and the main thing was that he was afraid of falling into a notoriety like Lu Bu.

But now, this time Frederick III wanted to incite the princes of all Germany to unite against him, although it brought a great crisis to Marin. However, this is not an opportunity...

What is the opportunity? It was to give Marin a chance to openly secede from the emperor, but not carry a bad reputation...

People always seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Under the huge risk of being attacked by all German princes, Marin resolutely admits counsel and draws a clear line with the emperor. This is not a very shameful thing. At least, in ancient Europe, there was no shame.

Ancient Europe was different from ancient China. In ancient China, people praised the hero who would rather die and despised those who surrendered. But in ancient Europe, although they also praised those loyal ministers, they did not despise the behavior of surrender.

Therefore, in ancient Europe, it was normal for nobles to surrender after being captured and pay ransoms, and they would not be despised.

Just like the current Marin, there is a risk of being beaten by all the German princes. To admit a counselor and draw a clear line with the emperor is not an unforgivable act of betrayal in the eyes of Europeans in this era. After all, being good at self-protection is a European tradition from ancient times to the present.

In this way, when Marin left the emperor's camp, he did not voluntarily leave, but reluctantly left when his life safety was threatened. This kind of behavior would be despised in ancient China, but forgiven in ancient Europe.

In this way, Marin not only achieved the goal of becoming independent from the emperor, but also, he would not betray the notoriety of a traitor, it was the best of both worlds.

So, after the initial exasperation, Marin was secretly delighted. However, the price is a bit high. Because it is estimated that it will cost hundreds of thousands of gold coins to disintegrate the anti-Marin alliance formed by the princes through bribery. Fortunately, this expenditure has allies to help share. Otherwise, Marin will bleed a lot...

Fortunately, after the bleeding this time, Marin's status will change, from "the emperor's horse boy" to changing his identity to become a powerful prince of his own family.

Moreover, because of its own strong military strength, as long as this transition period is passed, from now on, Marin will become an important third-party force that the emperor faction and the prince faction are competing to win over. After all, Marin, who has strong military strength, will increase in strength no matter which side he falls to. After that, the diplomatic dilemma will be far away from Marin...
