Chapter 1692: Robert Apprentice
This is true of the relationship between countries. Everyone is just a friend of interest, and no one will be worried about you. If it is good for both parties, everyone will naturally work together. However, if the interests are different, the choice is different ...
Therefore, it is not surprising that Maximilian I and John II chose this way. If they took the initiative to tell Marin the truth, that would be silly.
In addition, another group of Marin's allies-the Hanseatic League, among them the people of insight, also saw Marin's problems, but also chose to remain silent. Why? Because they also hope that the relationship between Marin and other princes will be more rigid, so that they will have the opportunity to meet each other. As for some allies who are not smart enough and have insufficient levels, they cannot see the key and cannot remind Marin ...
This time, it was because the prisoners of war from the Principality of Württemberg launched a rebellion that made Duke Ulrich of Wurttemberg feel guilty. So, I quietly sent someone to tell Marin ...
After all, Duke Ulrich received more than one million gold coins from Marin and was full. Moreover, it seems that Marin has been pitted. Out of embarrassment and fear of Malin ’s repentance, Ulrich sent someone to provide Malin with this important message.
Of course, this is not to say that Duke Ulrich was smart enough and discerning. But because Ulrich was a prince of a big country, there was a group of counselors around them. They saw it and told Ulrich. Duke Ulrich was afraid that Marin would regret and demand a refund, so he sold his feelings and quietly told Marin the news.
After receiving the news from the Duke Ulrich, Marin frowned for a long time, then suddenly realized!
It's no wonder that the collision of modern thought and ancient thought is normal. Every time the reforms are carried out, the new and old schools will have to undergo some desperate contests, not to mention the differences in thoughts of hundreds of years?
Originally, Marin had thought of adjusting his thinking. But thinking about it, he found it helplessly-it seemed that he could not compromise with the old nobles ...
Why? If Marin wants to die with mixed food, he can naturally compromise with the old nobility. However, he was an ambitious man who wanted to annex northern Germany and wanted to monopolize the American colony ...
In this way, he needs the North Sea to become strong. However, if you compromise with those noble aristocrats and appoint those incompetent noble children, Beihai will not be able to flourish according to his plan. After all, the children of the old nobles all have a set of old-school rules of conduct that will not change easily. Instead, civilian officers and civilian officials promoted by Marin, because there is no traditional practice, can only listen to Marin's command.
In this way, Marin wanted to strengthen the Beihai Kingdom through reforms, so he could not use the children of the old nobles as the main officials. Even if those noble children are used, only a small part can be obedient. Most officials have to rely on obedient civilian children.
In other words, even if Marin knew where the problem was, he could do nothing. Unless, in the future he is going to eat mixed food and wait to die, don't care about the power of Beihai ...
...
Of course, the reminder of Duke Ulrich is not totally useless. At least, Marin knew where the real problem was, and he would not spend his energy on doing unnecessary work. For example, Marin does not need to explain to other princes that he is not "the emperor's stray dog". Feelings, people's attention is not on this ...
In addition, Marin knew the truth and could arrange spies to make some targeted propaganda. For example, Marin "not want to appoint noble children, but those noble children look down on his origin!", "No noble willing to turn to him, he can only choose to train civilians as a new noble, and then sell his life" ...
Propaganda like this is actually a kind of defense-not that I do n’t want to use you, but you look down on me ...
Although it is impossible to persuade those old nobles, it can also weaken their hostility towards themselves. It is not necessary to reverse the prejudices of those people, it is enough to reduce their resistance to the recruitment of soldiers from southern Germany to worsen the immigration.
Subsequently, Marin organized another public political show. He summoned thousands of new and old nobles throughout the North Sea, organized a grand court ball, and began to establish a new noble order. All this makes Marin look more like a member of the aristocracy, rather than the leader of the mud leg rebellion ...
Moreover, Marin repeatedly emphasized that he was a blood relative of the original Earl of Brock family, and said that he was not in the future ...
In addition, Marin also announced in public-if there is no war, the officers of the North Sea country will preferentially select from the noble children. Only in times of war will war merit be given priority ...
But this statement is actually the same as not saying that, because the war in Europe is endless, the North Sea country is not short of battle. The so-called "noble first" is just a short promise.
However, it seems that this statement really made some old nobles reduce their hostility towards him. Moreover, it also reassured the existing ranks of officers of the Beihai State.
But at the same time, Marin asked the teachers to tell the students of the civilian school-study hard, and the opportunities are more ...
As for how to end in the future? I do n’t have enough sincerity to give the whole Brazil to the noble class? At least, the civilian class is not as good and big as a land ...
...
At the time of Marin's "strategic flicker" against the old European nobles, the future Pope Leo X, and now the Archbishop Giovanni of the Medici family, also came to Aurich to visit Marin.
Right now, although Julius II did not die because of Marin's intervention, his health has become bad and he may see God at any time. Therefore, Giovanni Di Lorenzo de Medici also stepped up private activities to ensure that he can take over the next pope.
Giovanni Di Lorenzo de Medici knew that Marin had a very close relationship with the Pope. Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity to visit the German region, he specifically came to visit Marin, hoping that Marin could help him to say good things.
It should be known that if there is the support and training of the current pope, he will have a greater chance of succeeding the pope in the future. What's more, Marin is the super majority shareholder of Siena Bank, which accounts for most of the shares. If you want to succeed in the campaign for the Pope, you can't do without the financial support of Siena Bank, which has a strong capital.
Therefore, regardless of political resources or capital support, Giovanni Di Lorenzo de Medici must obtain Marin's support.
Marin had no opinion on this, but this time, while expressing support for Giovanni Di Lorenzo de Medici, Marin also made a request-let Giovanni Di. Lorenzo de Medici served as Robert's teacher!
"Who is Robert?" Giovanni Di Lorenzo de Medici was a bit stunned ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Marin coughed and explained:
"Robert Della Rovere, his mother's name is Felice Rovere ..."
"Ferris ..." Giovanni Di Lorenzo de Medici thought, and suddenly his eyes widened ...
"Is it ..." He remembered the rumors of Rome many years ago. At that time, Julius II was still an archbishop, but also a figure in the Roman city. His private life is also very popular ...
Marin nodded and defaulted on Giovanni Di Lorenzo de Medici's guess.
Giovanni Di Lorenzo de Medici took a deep breath and said:
"I see, I will be Robert's teacher. And, I will focus on training him in the future!"
In this way, Robert has a future pope as his teacher. At the same time, he is also his asylum in the Holy See in the future ...
