Chapter 243: Go south
A month passed quickly, and the recruits on Marin ’s side had n’t been trained yet. The Pope ’s decree over there was served. Of course, in order to maintain confidentiality, the order was first sent to the Archdiocese of Cologne, the Bishop of Münster, the Bishop of Osnabrück and East Friesland. Leave a buffer period for the parties to deal with, so as not to disclose it at once, causing external interference.
When the Pope's decree was delivered to the archdiocese of Cologne, except for the following people who were a little surprised, the seven high-ranking members of the archbishop of Cologne were as stable as Mount Tai. Anyway, it is the pot of the Holy See, they are only ordered to act. Moreover, their benefits are enough. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the Archdiocese of Cologne, only some priests are indignant.
On the side of the Bishop of Münster and the Bishop of Osnabrück, the frypot was directly ...
Coincidentally, both the Bishops of Münster and Bishop of Osnabrück were Conrad from CountofRietberg, Conrad V, Earl of Rietberg Second son. In the bishopric of Münster, Bishop Conrad is called Conrad II. In the bishopric of Osnabruck, it is called Konrad IV.
However, Bishop Conrad became the bishop of the Bishop of Osnabrück in 1482, and did not become Bishop of Münster in 1497.
A bishop who is a bishop of two bishops. Originally, Bishop Conrad was very trusted by Archbishop Hermann IV of Cologne. However, in the face of personal interests and family interests, Herman IV decisively sold Bishop Conrad ...
Speaking of which, Bishop Conrad is also unlucky. The two bishops who he served as bishops were all sold to Marin by the Holy See.
"Even if you leave me a bishopric of Osnabrück ..." Bishop Conrad burst into tears. The Pope's decree almost made Bishop Conrad, who was originally in power, lose all his secular power all at once. How can he not be grieved?
The thing about power is just like drugs. If it has never been enjoyed, it will be nothing. However, it would be very uncomfortable to try the feeling of being in power, and then lose it. Therefore, some leaders of later generations will age very quickly after abdicating. Unlike when on stage, so excited.
Bishop Conrad, who originally had the secular power of the two bishopric states of more than 12,000 square kilometers, was suddenly deprived of all the power of the world, as if he was pulled out of his bones, making it very unbearable.
So, the unwilling Bishop Conrad decided to appeal. He knew that it would be impossible for the Holy See to fully recover his life. Therefore, he resolved to appeal. For example, keep the southern half of the largest bishopric in Münster. Or, reserve him a bishopric of Osnabrück ...
...
However, Marin is unlikely to give Conrad a chance. Upon receiving the Pope's decree, Marin began to gather soldiers and horses, preparing to go south.
After careful consideration, Marin decided to select 5,000 veterans and 7,000 recruits who had been called up first to go south. East Friesland left 3,000 veterans and 5,000 recruits behind.
At the same time, the East Frisian militia was also summoned to 3,000 men and drove to the Old State of Oldenburg, under the command of Adler, to guard against the attack of the Old State of Oldenburg.
In addition, Marin once again summoned 10,000 people to be strong, serving as civilians, and carrying heavy loads. Mainly, a lot of artillery and shells, and a lot of supplies.
Moreover, there are 10,000 people who are accompanied by strong people, and can also be strong and frighten those who have different ideas ...
At the expedition ceremony, the whole family came to see off except for the Adler couple who were far away in Oldenburg. Old Huffman and Mrs. Mary took Simon, Albert and Anne together and waved goodbye to Marin. Angela hugged Little Caesar, and before the battle, they sent a tender kiss to Marin ...
On the side, Felice also held a "small turnip head" and said goodbye to Marin. Of course, Felice is unknown, but he dare not hug and kiss Marlin in public.
At the beginning of December last year, Felice gave birth to a boy, head-to-head and head-brained, but looks very much like Marin. Marin finally breathed a sigh of relief-there was no green on his head ... Then, Marin happily named this "radish head" Robert ...
You do n’t know why, so I do n’t know why Felix ’s son will be named Robert, but Marin will tell them, because he suddenly thought of the "little carrot head" mentioned in the previous world language documents ... if it was said To be honest, it will be beaten by the violent Ferris ...
"Hey, boy, I hope you will become a pope in the future! It's not difficult to enclose a cardinal with your grandfather, and then your father and I will prepare 1 million Ducat gold coins for you. If you don't believe, you can't return a pope ... "Looking at the little guy with a tiger's head and a brain, Marin thought proudly. Caesar succeeded to the throne and Robert became Pope. Moreover, these two goods are their own sons, so it feels very exciting to think about it. However, the great Holy See will also welcome their first pope head ...
"Pope Carrot I ... Haha ..." Marin almost laughed out loud as he looked at the little tiger in the arms of Felice.
After saying goodbye to his family and his left-behind subordinates, Marin led 12,000 troops and 10,000 strong men, and set off with 30 short-body Karen heavy artillery.
Unlike the dozen or so 18-pound short-tube Karen heavy guns used in Denmark before ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ After the efforts of the artisans of the foundry factory, a 24-pound Karen cannon has been manufactured. Moreover, its total weight is also very light, only 750 kg. If 30 24-pound Karen cannons are used together, ordinary oak gates can't stand it.
In order to confuse others, Marin ordered the exterior of the Karen gun to be painted with copper paint, which made people mistakenly think that this was a copper gun. I would like to ask, now in Europe, how many countries have the financial resources to build so many copper heavy artillery? If anyone engages in an arms race with Marin, he also believes that Marin uses copper to cast guns, and he will definitely be bankrupted ...
In addition, the Bishop of Münster and the Bishop of Osnabrück, because of the reasons behind the support of the Holy See and the Archbishop of Cologne, never thought of which princely country would dare to beat them. Therefore, they did not intend to replace the iron gate.
When Marin brought his army into the North Bishop of Bishop, the army here was unprepared. Moreover, the North Münster area seems to be a remote area of the Bishop ’s Diocese of Münster, and the development is not enough, not even a few cities. Even if there are, they are all small cities that are not much bigger than the town, and there is no way to talk about city defense and defense.
After forcing down several outposts on the border of the northern region of the Bishop of Münster, Marin's army entered the hinterland of North Münster easily, and no one blocked ...
