Welcome you, please remember the address of this site :, mobile phone reading, so that you can read the latest chapter of the novel "The Emperor's Rise" at any time ...

In October in Italy, the autumn tiger has just passed and the temperature is still relatively high. Soldiers will engage in wading landings, and they will not be too cold. In East Friesland during the same period, the temperature was several degrees lower than in Italy, and the sea water began to cool. Because the latitudes of the two places are quite different.

The village of Dolomia is located near the city of Rome, with a latitude of about 42 degrees north latitude. On the other hand, Aurich is located at 53 degrees north latitude and further north. The latitudes of the two places differ by more than 11 degrees, and a latitude is almost 111 kilometers, and 11 dimensions have reached more than 1200 kilometers. The difference in latitude between the north and the south of the two places is more than 1,200 kilometers, and the climatic difference is naturally very large.

However, even though Italy is very south, the climate is much warmer than that of northern Germany, but the official start of the war is after November, which is already the early winter season. Even though Italy is relatively warm, it was very cold at that time. Therefore, Marin intends to store a large amount of firewood in the small fishing village in advance along the coast of Grosseto. Once the army waded and landed, immediately set up a fire to roast the soldiers. Otherwise, in the cold season of early winter, when the wading land is not fired in time, there is a high possibility of catching a cold. There are no cold medicines in this era, and Europeans have poor resistance to colds. A bad one, a cold is easy to die.

Marin rushed to the small fishing village of Dolomia and met with the main generals who led the army this time-Kahn, Stade, Steindorff and Heinkes ...

Needless to say, Kahn is a close friend of Marin. Although he generally does not carry soldiers, he has a superb position in the North Sea Army; Stade is the second highest general in the North Sea after Schwarz; Steindorff It is the chief commander of the North Sea State Firearms Force; as for Heinkes, it is a young general who has recently been promoted and reused by Marin.

Speaking of which, Heinkes could be noticed by Marin, and his name took a large advantage. Before Marin crossed, the big Bayern, under the leadership of the coach Heinkes, hit the arrogant Barcelona. In the two rounds of the knockout, a total score of 7 to 0, shamefully eliminated the so-called "universe The team's Barcelona shot down Barcelona from space and fell into the world. Therefore, "Princess of the Sea" (Heinkes) has also become a legend of Bayern.

When Marin first heard the young officer named Heinks, he wanted to laugh. Because, this contrast is also too big-Grandpa Hai is an old man in his 70s, and this Heinkes before him is only in his twenties.

But precisely because of this legendary name, Marin noticed this young man. Then, Marin found out—oh, this guy is not bad ...

Heinkes, like Kahn, also came from the mountains of Württemberg. However, unlike Kahn from a civilian background, Heinkers was born in a knight's house. He was skilled in martial arts and had a systematic military education since childhood.

It's just that Heynx's father, Heynx's knight, offended the powerful nobles of the Principality of Württemberg and was excluded. As a result, when Heinx wanted to go to Stuttgart in the capital of Württemberg as an adult knight, he was hindered. The other party even let out the words to end the inheritance of the Knights of the Heinkes family.

Angrily, Heinks rode on a horse and rode a rifle to come to Marin. Of course, he wasn't recruited by Marin himself, otherwise Marin had already attracted attention by his name alone. After a few years of mixing under Stade, Marlin caught the attention of him by chance.

Prior to this, Heinx had become an excellent leader of the phalanx, commanding an infantry phalanx. Moreover, he performed well in the battle of Lübeck, and was awarded the hereditary knight by the Beihai Kingdom for his merits.

Later, Marin noticed him because of his name and began to train him intentionally or unintentionally. And Heynckes is also a bachelor, and he directly took the old man Heincks and his family to the North Sea, completely breaking away from the Principality of Württemberg. Because of this, Marin appreciated him more.

At present, there are dozens of knights from the knight family under Marin's service, serving as officers of all levels. However, not many people actually moved the entire family to Beihai and completely turned to Marin, only a dozen people. The other families where those people were were obviously reluctant to put Baodu on Marin. Even some officers have brothers as officers in other princely states.

It stands to reason that this behavior of not putting eggs in a basket is correct. But that was only for those cavalier families, but for the main hero Marin, it was very uncomfortable. Obviously, these people cannot trust completely ...

Therefore, he dared to break up with the original Principality of Württemberg, and he did not hesitate to surrender the original Knight's Manor. Coupled with its relatively talented, Marin intends to train him as the new commander. In this attack on the Republic of Siena, Marin took Heinckes and let him accumulate credit to find an excuse to promote him.

...

While Marin inspected the Mountain Infantry Corps, in the city of Rome, Julius II also began to send troubles to the Republic of Siena as planned ...

Why is it difficult? Obviously it was an excuse for the Papal State to send troops to attack Siena ...

Wars between countries must find suitable excuses. Otherwise, if the division is unnamed, it will not only be susceptible to joint opposition from many countries, but also the morale of its own army will be hit. Only when you stand on the right side, can you send your troops bright and morale.

And the excuse for Julius II's trouble is also very simple-the issue of the "Tithing Tax" ...

According to the regulations of the Holy See, in all Catholic countries, the church has the right to levy a "tithe" on all its citizens. Of course, after these tithes are collected, not all will be handed over to the Holy See, but the local church will hand over the rest to the Holy See after intercepting half of it.

However, this is only a theoretical situation. As a matter of fact, the church cannot receive ... or the tithe of the half of it ...

There are many reasons for this, for example, the local church lied about the number and greedy Mexico for taxation. There is also the fact that the great aristocrats in many countries refuse to pay the "Tithe Tax", and it is the civilians of all countries who actually bear the "Tithe Tax". But in this era of serfdom still dominating, most of the land is controlled by the nobility, so the collection of the "Tithe Tax" is naturally greatly reduced. Sometimes, in some countries, the "Tithe Tax" is good enough to give 10% to the Holy See.

For example, France, because of its strong national strength, is not a bird church at all. The tithe of France, levied by the local church, is not very happy to pay half to the Holy See. In order to fight against the Holy See, the French church even colluded with French officials to put pressure on the Holy See. The Holy See is obviously afraid of the strength of France. You should know that once the French hijacked the Holy See to Avignon in France, the Holy See has lost its prestige.

Therefore, now the Holy See does not collect any tithe in France. The tithe paid by the French church to the Holy See, which means something, is not as much as that given by a larger bishopric in Germany. After all, the appointment of the bishops of the German Bishops' State requires the Holy See to nod. The official hat was in the hands of the Holy See, and the bishopric had to pay more tithes. But generally speaking, every country will honestly give Qi "Tithe Tax", and will always find a way to pay less.

For example, the dozens of cardinals of the Roman Cardinals are actually responsible for the collection of tithes in some areas.

But as the corruption of the Holy See intensifies, these cardinals may not really try their best to urge the "Tithing Tax". For example, the cardinal who is responsible for the collection of the Spanish tithe will often collude with the Spanish church. Originally, Spain should probably pay the "Tithe Tax" of 400,000 gold coins to the Holy See. However, the Spanish church will bribe the cardinal bishop in charge and give him 10,000 or 20,000 gold coins. Then, list a bunch of difficulties ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ to deceive the Holy See. The cardinal in charge of the money will also help to deceive. Then, the "Tithe Tax" that should have paid 400,000 gold coins became 200,000 gold coins or even 100,000 when entering the Holy See ... The discount depends on how much the local church bribes and the country ’s powerful No. For example, France, the first-class power in Europe, the church can give the Holy See 10,000 gold coins every year. Even, sometimes simply not giving. The reason-the disaster in the country ... and the Holy See, there is no way to reverse the face with France ...

The Republic of Siena, on the side of the Papal State, should be reasonably heavily controlled by the Holy See. But in fact, the Republic of Siena has long deprived the church of its local authority. As for the "Tithe Tax", there is less.

In fact, the Holy See has endured Siena for a long time, and has long wanted to move Siena. However, the Republic of Siena is richer and has enough money to hire enough troops. Moreover, the most important thing is-Siena's complex terrain, Xiongguan blocked the road. It is quite difficult to attack Siena.

In addition, the military power of the Holy See has always been very general, so it can only stare at the disrespectful Republic of Siena.

As it happens, the autumn harvest begins. Julius II made an essay on the "Tithe Tax", and the Siena people are certainly not happy to pay the "Tithe Tax" honestly. At that time, the Holy See had an excuse to use force against Siena-tax evasion is a good reason to send troops ...
