Chapter 1264: Coins face up

Walking on the way to the barracks campus, Frenzberg was in a heavy mood. To be honest, Frenzberg regretted it. Regret left East Friesland and came to Austria.

In the beginning, because of the admirable family tradition of the Habsburg royal family, and the thirst for the knighthood, Franzberg chose to leave East Friesland, whose future was unknown, and turned to the emperor. Now, in retrospect, Frenzberg thinks that is a bad move.

Before he joined the Habsburg family camp, Frenzberg was full of illusions about the Habsburg family, the only royal family in Europe. In those fantasies, the Habsburg family is noble, atmospheric, and high-grade ...

But when he really joined the Habsburg family camp and entered the core circle, it was clear to Frensberg that the Habsburg family, which looks glamorous on the outside, is actually chaotic inside, sullen ...

The Habsburg family has a centuries-old heritage and a long history. However, the bad is also bad in this "history". From the beginning of the big nose Rudolf I, the Habsburg family began to spread leaves in Austria. Family males, who were enshrined in Austria, each managed one side.

For hundreds of years, the Habsburg family has many branches, and the Count of the Duke alone is a pile. Emperor Maximilian I was in Austria, in fact, can only be regarded as the patriarch of the Habsburg family, not the lord of a word. Although Austria is large, it can be divided into many pieces. The emperor is only the Grand Duke of Austria, but within Austria, it is further divided into Upper Austria, Lower Austria, the Principality of Tyrol and the Principality of Styria. Moreover, within each Principality, there are several counts of the branches of the Habsburg family. As for the baron, it is a whole lot.

Therefore, every time Emperor Maximilian I opened a family meeting, the scene was as lively as the Imperial Parliament ...

Seriously calculated, the land directly controlled by Emperor Maximilian I actually occupies only a small part of Austria. Most of the rest is divided by the many branches of the Habsburg family.

Therefore, in this era when the monarch can only rely on territory output, commercial tax and import and export tax to maintain, the Habsburg royal family with few direct territories is the standard forced royal family.

Fortunately, Maximilian I got married well, and by marriage, annexed the Principality of Burgundy, the territory, before the financial breakdown of the poor Habsburg family.

However, because of the Principality of Burgundy, although the French invasion later, only the Franche Comté region and the Netherlands region were left, but the taxation of one Flemish region was worth the Austrian region. Later, after internal struggles within the family, Maximilian I had to make concessions, and later received less tax from Austria, and then mainly depended on the Netherlands and Franche Comté to support. As for the less-paid taxes, it is naturally divided by the branches of the Habsburg family ...

Those Duke, Earl and Baron who are the branches of the Habsburg family, do not have the ability to accomplish things, but the skills of bad things are absolutely first-class. I like to find the emperor's stubble when nothing is wrong, and Maximilian I had to make some concessions in order to maintain the appearance and internal stability of the Habsburg family.

Frenzberg knew very well that Emperor Maximilian I trusted him, but the counts of the branches of the Habsburg family did not like him.

Once he lost in Switzerland and lost more than half of Switzerland, Maximilian I may want to protect him, but those members of the Habsburg family branch will definitely make him blameless.

Why? Because Eagle Fort in the Swiss Aargau is the ancestral home of the Habsburg family. Losing the ancestral land is a great sin. This **** basin cannot be caught on the head of Emperor Maximilian I. So, obviously the best object to bear the blame is him Frensberg ...

Once he was buckled with the **** pot of "lost family ancestral land", even if Frendsberg was capable, under the strong pressure within the family, Maximilian I had to give up him. Unless, the emperor has the courage to break up with the family ... but that is impossible ...

……

Faced with such a complicated Habsburg family, Frenzberg had a headache and regret. Even, he had the urge to return to Marin. But he knew it was impossible. After all, he was the equivalent of betraying East Friesland. Even if he went back, East Friesland lost his place.

And if he hadn't left, then, in the current North Sea National Army, under Marin, except for Schwartz, it would be him, there wouldn't be anything at Stade.

Even, when he was learning martial arts with Marin, Frendsberg had more talent than Schwartz. However, Schwartz followed Marin earlier and more faithfully, firmly occupying the position of Marin's number one general.

However, all this can't go back ... Frenzberg was lost, but had to accept reality ...

……

Came to the university campus, Frenzberg put away the sadness in his heart, beat his spirit, pretended to be a full-fledged look, stood on the high platform with enthusiasm, announced loudly:

"Gentlemen, today I will take you to complete a great mission-to defeat the enemies of the great Habsburg family. As long as this battle is successful, you will be the heroes of the great Habsburg family, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely give it away. Many of you may be knighted ... "

The battle is about to start, and Fritzberg is not sure. However, he had heard Marin say that before the war, he should avoid telling the truth, but he should be as stupid as possible to raise morale to the top. In this way, the expedition is easy to win. Moreover, Marin also cited an example of "all coins face up" to illustrate the importance of fooling during mobilization before the war.

Thinking of this, Frenzberg's eyes flashed and explained:

"Tonight, I'm going to hold an expedition ceremony, everyone packed up the salute and set off at night!"

Because it is an ambush, it is naturally impossible to leave the city during the day. Otherwise, it is easy to be discovered by the French. Therefore, Frenzberg chose to quietly leave the city at night.

But before going out of town, instead of picking up his luggage, Fritzberger took some die-hard cronies to polish the gold coins ...

……

The gold coin polished by Frensberg and die-hard cronies is the Goulden coin engraved with the head of Emperor Maximilian I. It was specially created to celebrate the successful coronation of Maximilian I two years ago Of "Emperor Gold Coins".

This kind of "Emperor Gold Coin" has the emperor's head wearing a crown on the front and the Habsburg family double-headed eagle logo and text on the reverse.

Frenzberg took his men to do, is to polish the gold coins on the opposite side. Then, stick the smooth sides of the two gold coins with only the front side together with expensive special glue ...

……

In the evening, the army had dinner, and the soldiers gathered on the campus, and countless torches lit up around ...

Frenzberg took a middle-aged man dressed as a fortune teller and came to the stage ...

Frenzberg said loudly:

"Gentlemen, this expedition has an uncertain future. For this reason, I specially invited the famous local fortune-teller Master William (actually a guy who was randomly found by the locals. Anyway, the military generals are not locals and do n’t know. He) came to us for the fortune-telling mission, and below is Master William! "

Then, a middle-aged man in a black robe walked up to the general with a serious face, in front of the generals:

"My method of divination is very special. It is a coin divination method. It is to cast a gold coin on the ground after casting a spell. The more gold coins face up, the more auspicious. If all the gold coins face up, then this battle will win! "

The officers and gentlemen below were all stunned when they heard it-and did they use money for divination? I have only heard of astrological divination (pope Julius II believed this), Tarot divination, and alphabet divination, and coin divination. You have never heard of it ...

But "Master William" didn't care about everyone's coercion, but took out a handful of gold coins:

"This is the" Emperor Gold Coin "issued to celebrate the official coronation of His Majesty the Emperor in Rome. Today, I use this gold coin for divination. If most of the heads are facing up, then the battle will be won. If all the heads are facing up, Then this battle will win! "

Then, after "Master William" chanted a few mantras he didn't understand, he whipped the gold coins in his hands on a chopping board that enshrined the statue of **** on the stage ...

Then, "Master William" pretended to glance inadvertently, then yelled like a heartache:

"Great luck! Great luck! Actually all gold coins are facing up! This battle will win!"

"Really? I'll take a look!" Frenzberg pretended to have an unexpected look. After stepping forward and looking at it deliberately, he was also evil-like ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ cheered loudly:

"Really all the gold coins face up! It seems that God also bless the great emperor! God bless my emperor! The second battle will win!" Then, Frenzberg made a glance at his followers ...

"Tianyou Wuhuang! The second battle will win!" This is a childcare that has been arranged for a long time, naturally giving face ...

"God bless my emperor! The second battle will win!"

……

After the soldiers were tired, they sent representatives to the stage to watch the result of divination ...

Among them, a sloppy soldier wanted to touch the gold coins on the chopping board with his hands. Frenzberg was in a hurry. If it was discovered that the truth would be gone? So, in a hurry, he kicked the soldier away and scolded:

"At this time, the table dedicated to the gods can be touched casually with your hands? Don't blaspheme the gods!"

Then, no one dared to touch ... Of course, it would have to be exposed ...

……

Taking advantage of the high morale, Franzberg announced with great enthusiasm:

"The army is out!"
