Chapter 207: Plan ahead

When the war broke out at the same time in eastern Ireland and northern Naples, Stad in Rome, who received the news, was also ready to attack Florence. However, whether the city gate can be opened requires a signal from the Medici family to confirm that they can meet the inside and outside, and then will tell Stade. Then, Stad led the army to attack Florence.

At the same time, Julius II also needed to prepare enough horses for the army of Stade. After all, the distance from Rome to Florence is two hundred and tens of kilometers. For such a long distance, if you want to attack for a long distance, even if it is fast-paced, it will take at least two days to arrive. Moreover, one person and two horses are needed. Therefore, Julius II needs 14,000 horses, whether it is a horse or a horse, it takes a certain amount of time to prepare. When Julius II prepared the horses, Stade's army was almost ready to go, and they were all lightly armed, and the artillery was not going to be brought. Otherwise, the trip will be delayed.

Of course, as soon as the raid succeeds and the news comes back to Rome, Rome will hire some Italian mercenaries to help take over Florence. Although Italian mercenaries have a lower frontal combat power than German mercenaries, they are still sufficient to defend the city. The premise is that as long as it does not touch the inside and outside.

For the problem of cooperation between inside and outside, Marin actually made preparations. Since capturing the city of Rome, in order to avoid being reunited with others. Now, every night, the defenders will set up a defense line behind the city gate, and arrange for hundreds of people to guard the defense line to avoid the city gate being captured.

Moreover, now inside the city gates, no longer just use door bolts, but each city gate is added a large iron lock. Even if the assailants broke through the defense line and reached behind the gate, they had to face a huge iron lock. The key to the iron lock is not in the hands of the defenders in the gate of the city, but in the hands of the officers in the barracks in the city. Every morning, a team of soldiers is dispatched by officers to each city gate to issue iron lock keys to open the gates.

In this way, even if a commando broke through the city gate hole, the big iron lock could not be opened in a short time. And with such a delay, the defenders on the city wall have already reacted, come down to support, and will eliminate those enemies who have burst into the gate.

This method has already begun to be implemented in cities in East Friesland, making the method of integrating the outside and the outside extremely difficult. However, in the Roman city, only the method of increasing the defense inside the city gate was implemented for the time being, and there was no way to implement the big iron lock. This is mainly because I am afraid to learn from Florence. Florence now has more commercial ties with Rome, and Marin is also afraid that this secret will be learned by the Florentines, so that the city of Florence cannot be fought. Even if it is to increase the inner defense of the city gate, Stald has tried to conceal and enhance his strength at the request of Marin, so as to avoid the attention and cottage of the Florentines.

...

While all parties in Italy were furious, Marlin in East Friesland was not idle. What is Marin doing? He is preparing to take over the Bishop of Munster ...

Earlier, Marin and Julius II had discussed. Both agreed that it was simple to award the Bishop of Muenster to Marin, but it was still very troublesome for Marin to really take control of the Bishop of Muenster.

Therefore, in the process of accepting the Bishop of Münster, it is necessary for Marin to show his muscles and suppress the gang of people who are not willing to lose power.

According to the agreement between Marin and Julius II, the religious power of the Archbishop of the Bishop of Munster will continue to be retained. However, secular power will be acquired by Marin.

But the problem is that all glory and wealth are obtained because of secular power. Even if the Bishop of Munster is willing to give up, the officials and nobles of the Bishop of Munster who are in charge of secular governance are not happy. Therefore, some resistance is indispensable. After all, no one wants to easily withdraw from the stage of history.

What Marin had to do was to use a strong army to enter the bishopric of Münster, forcing those who resisted to bow their heads and make them aware of the cruel reality of "death without obedience".

Moreover, the victory of the Bishop of Münster also required a large number of troops. The Bishop of Münster is currently at its most glorious period. The total land area is estimated to be 7,000 square kilometers, which is larger than that of the Bishop of Münster on the 1648 map of the German region seen by Marin. It seems that during the religious war that broke out in the mid-16th century, the Bishop of Munster lost some territory. Later, there were only more than 6,000 square kilometers left.

Isn't Marin so desperate for the Bishop of Munster? Is it because the south of the Bishop of Munster is next to the Ruhr area? Even part of the territory has extended into the Ruhr area.

At present, the control of the Ruhr area mainly belongs to the Principality of Cliff (the most western part of the Rhine River, mainly the agricultural area, there is no coal); the State of Vest next to the Principality of Cliff (CountyofVest, has no Less coal, the famous steel city of Essen, currently in the territory of Westphalia); to the east is the part of the Ruhr district of Markberg, which is the largest and most coal mine area; and some belong to the free city of Dortmund There are hundreds of square kilometers ... In addition to these forces, there are other forces on the east side of the Ruhr area, but there are basically no coal mines there. The most core areas are mainly Ruhr area of ​​Macbeth and Westbourne.

(It should be pointed out that in the country of Westphalia, during the Cologne War that broke out in 1582-83, the entire country was annexed by the Archbishop of Cologne. The reason is that Westerberland is the Protestant side, is Pagans. Then, the entire country was destroyed. The previous statement that it belonged to the Bishop of Münster was wrong. The map that the old cow got was the map after the Cologne War, and the original Ruhr area The color of the part of Westphalia is the same as that of the Bishop of Münster, and they are all affiliated with the Archbishop of Cologne, so the old cow is wrong. But the strange thing is that the country of Westphalia is not described in detail on Wiki English Is blank.)

The Bishop of Munster also has some territories that cross the Liper River and penetrate deep into the Ruhr area. This part happens to be connected with Dortmund, it seems, just to strengthen economic ties with Dortmund. After all, Dortmund is also a commercial city, and with Dortmund, the trade benefits will definitely be great.

In order to successfully take over the Bishop of Münster at that time, Marin sent Schwartz, who had just brought back, to the mountains of southern Germany to recruit troops. This time, Marin intends to recruit 7,000 troops.

These 7,000 people are actually intended to be stationed in the Münster area in the future. After all, the Bishop of Münster is so big that it also needs to be stationed.

In addition, because there are 7,000 horses in the south of Rome. When Florence is up, Marin intends to keep 5,000 people stationed in Rome for a long time to ensure his influence on Rome. As for the other two thousand people, they withdrew to the mainland, or stationed in East Friesland, or in the Munster area.

However, taking over the battle of the Bishop of Munster, Marin could not expect the 7,000 recruits to complete. To this end, Marin intends to mobilize the 8,000 main forces remaining in the country to do this. Those 7,000 people followed the main force and gained experience while training. After the opposition forces of the Bishop of Münster were extinguished, the 7,000 people remained in the city of Münster as a garrison.

Moreover, Marin believes that the core high-level of the Bishop of Munster is in the city of Munster. As long as the city of Münster is won, then the people at the highest level of the bishopric of Münster are in their own control. As for people in other areas, you can slowly clean up ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Therefore, Marin has already made a plan to conquer the city of Muenster. Just take down the city of Münster and force the Bishop of Münster to die. At the same time, control the generals of the Bishop of Munster in the city of Münster. The following small characters can't make waves ...

To this end, Marin asked Kohler to form a new chamber of commerce, sending people to the Bishop of Münster to collect all kinds of intelligence. In addition, they also sent men and women to lurk in Münster to see if there is an opportunity to cooperate with the Marin army.

Now, with the details of several wars gradually began to spread in Europe. Opportunities like inside and outside cooperation are estimated to be less and less. After all, those princes are not fools. In the case of frequent moves, the defense of the city gate will definitely be taken seriously. Therefore, things like inside and outside should be difficult to accomplish in the future. This time it was lucky to send someone to Münster to see if there was such an opportunity. If the military commander of the Bishop of Münster is an idiot, it will give Kohler's men a chance to cooperate with each other. If the coach of the Bishop of Munster is a shrewd person. Well, Marin intends to take a strong attack. Anyway, Marin is now looking away from the matter of cooperation between inside and outside. His point of view is-I am lucky, I am killed ...

Anyway, Marin made multiple preparations, one method does not work, then change to another chant ... In short, as long as you are fully prepared, there is always a way for you ...
