In fact, when Julius II sent troubles to Siena on the grounds that “Siena violated the regulations and paid enough tithe to the Holy See not far away”, all European countries were a little bit stunned.

Why? Has n’t everyone paid the “Tithe Tax” to the Holy See this year? Is n’t everyone the default rule? Even the bishoprics of Germany are not always in harmony. Only when the former bishop dies and the heirs need to be recognized by the Holy See will the "Tithe Tax" of that year be paid evenly. As for those secular sovereign countries, there are even fewer. Of course, big nations like the Holy See, which France can't afford, will have fewer contacts. The small countries with poor strength have more points to avoid offending the Holy See.

The Republic of Siena is a country that is neither strong nor weak. Its economy cannot catch up with Florence, but it is not too bad. In general, the Republic of Siena is considered to be a rich country due to the development of commerce, handicrafts and banking. At least, when it comes to Germany, it is definitely a rich country. The reason why it and the Republic of Florence will become dead enemies is because the two countries are too close together, and the business is the same, of course, full of competition. This is like China and Japan in later generations. Japan had originally depended on manufacturing exports. As a result, after Huaxia was reopened, it also vigorously engaged in export-oriented manufacturing. Let's just say, as long as Huaxia can make products, the devil will not dare to sell high prices. Because, the same product of Huaxia is so cheap. So, later ordinary Devils nationals were also hostile to Huaxia. In addition to being misled by Devils Media, there were also anger factors for being robbed of their jobs ...

Siena was prosperous and powerful in the early years. As early as 1260, the strong Republic of Siena and the stronger Republic of Florence had fought a war-the Montaperti War. In this war, the Republic of Florence dispatched 33,000 troops, through Siena ’s most important Francia Avenue, from the north into the territory of the Republic of Siena, trying to eliminate the rival of the Republic of Siena.

As a result, due to terrain advantages and luck, Siena's army of only 20,000 people actually beat Florence's 33,000 army. Since then, the Republic of Florence no longer dared to send troops to attack Siena.

It should be noted that the terrain in the Republic of Siena is quite complex. The most important road in the country is the Franconia Avenue from Montaperti on the northwest border to Radicofani in the southeast. The city of Siena, located right on this avenue, is a fortress surrounded by mountains on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In addition, the second most important road in Siena is the mountain road from Grosseto on the west coast to Siena. But this road is relatively narrow, and it is a mountain road, not as wide as Francona Avenue. You know, Franconia Avenue is a classical Roman Avenue, which can accommodate several carriages in parallel. The southwest-northeast mountain road from Grosseto to Siena can only accommodate a carriage. It is by these two paths that Siena's business flourished and became an important business country in Italy.

However, in 1348, Siena was attacked by the Black Death, which swept across Europe, and its population was greatly reduced. Then, in the 15th century, Siena began to decline gradually, and was gradually widened by the commercial states of Venice and Genoa. However, it was not pulled away too much by Florence. Siena and Florence, the brothers and brothers, although after the Black Death did not develop as fast as Venice and Genoa, but not weak. At least, in the Italian business world, Venice and Genoa rank first and second, they can rank third (Florence) and fourth (Siena).

Moreover, for now, if the Republic of Siena is ruthless, it can also build up a 20,000 army. However, they are all Italian mercenaries. In terms of combat effectiveness, Marin is insignificant.

Of course, the combat effectiveness mentioned here is the combat effectiveness of field operations. If guarding the city or guarding the pass, these Italian mercenaries can also cause great trouble to the North Sea army. Because, in any case, these Italian mercenaries are always better than the militia. They are counseling in the field, but if they stand behind the city walls or behind the pass, they can also block the army of Beihai.

Therefore, Marin did not dare to send troops to the ground and Siena had just faced up, only to find Emperor Maximilian I to help the show and attract Siena's army.

In fact, with the fighting power of the North Sea army, if 30,000 troops are transferred, it can also defeat the 20,000 troops of Siena. After all, the combat power of the North Sea army is there. However, if you fight like this, the North Sea military casualties may be very large, and it will take a long time.

Malin did not dare to let the domestic emptiness go, and took the three main legions south and Siena. If the loss is heavy, the North Sea Congress may be besieged by Lao Nest.

Therefore, Marin intends to use Maximilian I's Austrian army to launch a feint attack from the front to attract most of Siena's army. When most of the Siena army went to the pass on Francona Avenue to block the Austrian army, there were certainly not many troops in Siena. Marin's 15,000 people are enough to break through Siena. As long as the city of Siena is breached and the head and brain of the state is seized, the Republic of Siena will die.

...

After accusing Siena of "tax evasion and tax evasion", Julius II revoked the bishop of Siena, Colleini, in the name of not being religious enough, and chose one from the city of Rome. The priest named Giulio di Giuliano de Medici was appointed as the new bishop of the Republic of Siena.

From his name, it can be seen that this product is also a member of the Medici family. Moreover, Marin, who is familiar with the history of the future, knows that this is the future Pope Clement VII.

He is Giovanni Di Lorenzo de Medici's brother-in-law and his father is Giovanni Di Lorenzo de Medici's father Lorenzo de Medici His brother, Giuliano de Medici. He was born in 1478 and is 3 years younger than Giovanni Di Lorenzo de Medici, the same year as Marin.

Of course, the appointment of Siena as bishop, in fact, the Holy See did not expect the Siena people to accept. As expected, the Siena people were extremely angry when they learned that the Holy See was about to replace their bishop. Because the general Holy See can not control the appointment of the bishop of the Republic of Siena ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Generally, the church of the Republic of Siena chooses the bishop and reports the list to the Holy See. The Holy See also knew that it could not manage things in Siena, and generally did not interfere in things there. And Julius II's move obviously provokes the Siena people. Therefore, Siena was extremely angry.

The governor of the Republic of Siena, Pandolf Petrucci, stated publicly that there is no problem with Bishop Colény, and that the affairs of the Republic of Siena do not require the indiscriminate involvement of Julius II ...

And Julius II stated that the Holy See has no intention to intervene in the government of the Republic of Siena, but the Siena Church belongs to the Church of the Holy See, and the Holy See has reason to intervene. Therefore, he hoped that the authorities of the Republic of Siena would not interfere in the internal affairs of the church. Otherwise, you will be severely punished ...

But the self-confident Siena Republic ignored the orders of the Holy See at all. Moreover, the Holy See has indeed violated unspoken rules and is unreasonable. Therefore, when Giulio di Giuliano de Medici led a team from Rome and wanted to go to Siena, the team was radicofani at the southeastern border of the Republic of Siena. Stopped. And Giulio Di Giuliano de Medici himself was refused entry by the Siena defenders ...

In this way, things are completely outrageous ...
