Chapter 373: Venice into the pit (on)

(? & ??; ige? -di1k? 6a6 ?? 2? x? b ?? c? 63m ??, during your tenure, the Venetian will be a man with a tail ... "and Julius II World ’s talk, Marin summarized this sentence. \\ r

As for whether the Suez Canal will be strong when the Venetians have dug it, will it affect the Papal State? Marin scoffed at Julius II ’s concerns: \\ r

"Does it have anything to do with you? The headache is the next pope!" \\ r

Although this is not polite, it is true. The Papal State is not hereditary. Does the next Pope do well for Julius II? \\ r

Julius II is also 61 years old this year, and can be scared to death if he can live for 20 years. At this time, there were no reliable doctors in Europe, and they were all quack doctors who bleed blood and crows. When Julius II wanted to live to 80 years old, he had to rely on the two Golden Horde countries provided by Marin. The power of Mongolian doctors. A native European doctor who hopes to shed blood and crows, Julius II may not survive 70 years old ... \\ r

Twenty years later, even though Venice has dug and completed the Suez Canal, it has just taken off. In these 20 years, Venice will be fully suppressed by Spain and Portugal in the spice trade, and its national strength will even decline. Just a few years after the canal was opened, Venice will strive to dominate the Indian Ocean, not Italy. Anyway, the scene of Venice in Italy, Julius II will never see it ... \\ r

Julius II was right to think about it. He was old, and God knew how long he could live. As long as he was able to achieve great results during his time as Pope, it would be regarded as a famous youth. As for the successor pope, let him die ... \\ r

"No, my grandson Robert, don't you want him to be the pope? Are you a digging son?" Julius II said to Marin speechlessly. \\ r

"It doesn't matter what he does. I can only control the present. Besides, Venice will not dare to attack Rome anymore. It will at most rob Rimini and other places that were not part of the Holy See. It hit the city of Rome. Unless, it wanted to be beaten by groups all over Europe ... "\\ r

Marin shrugged, and had no idea about the second son. In his view, whether Robert can be a pope is still unknown. Therefore, it is most worthwhile to seize the eyes and focus the attention of Spain and Portugal on the Venetians. As for Robert became the pope, Venice sits big? That's not a problem. Because, that's what happened decades later. By that time, Marin has completed the development of the Americas, and its strength is stronger than Venice. Big deal, send a lesson to Venice and chant ... \\ r

For the marine overlords like Venice, the history that Marin read in the previous life gave a plan to deal with it-the Dutch declined after the French were captured by the French. And Venice ... wiped it, and the French sent troops to destroy it ... It seems that the French are the killers of small commercial countries ... \\ r

After appeasing the father-in-law, Marin took a group of bodyguards with great enthusiasm, and marched towards Venice with great might ...... \\ r

Holding a letter of introduction from the Pope, Marin was full of anger, and his nostrils went all the way along the way. In Italy, everyone also recognizes the Pope ’s letter of introduction ... \\ r

In this way, Marin came to Venice courageously and entered the building of the Doge's Palace in the Republic of Venice, which is also very famous in later generations ... \\ r

The current governor of the Republic of Venice, Leonardo Lore, is also an old friend of Marin. When Marin and the Venetian Republic bought and sold French prisoners of war, war horses, and armor, Leonardo Lore was Venice at the time. The deputy of Governor Agostino Barbarigo has also met Marin several times and is considered an acquaintance. \\ r

"Welcome, Marin ... Duke ... I didn't expect that 10 years later, that bold knight had become a powerful Duke ..." Leonardo Lore looked at his spirit with great complexity. , The guards surrounded Marin for several laps. \\ r

"Haha, Leonardo, you were also the deputy governor of Barbarigo, aren't you right now?" Marin needed to look up when he saw Leonardo Lore. But now, he is a powerful duke with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he can have an equal dialogue with Leonardo Lore. \\ r

After entering the parlor, Leonardo Lore looked at Malin Dao playfully: \\ r

"What? Duke Marin, are you here to serve as a lobbyist for His Majesty the Pope?" Out of self-confidence in Venice, the Venetians did not quite value the weak Papal State and did not respect the Pope so much. If not for fear of the powerful influence of the Holy See, the Venetians wanted to annex Rome ... \\ r

"No, I'm here to save Venice!" Marin said in earnest. This is a must-have technique for the lobbyists of the ancient Chinese strategists-obviously they came to fool people, but when they spoke, they said they would save the other ... \\ r

"Save Venice?" Leonardo Lore smiled dumbly: \\ r

"Venice is extremely prosperous and the country is prosperous. I am afraid you don't need Duke Marin to rescue you?" \\ r

"Leonardo, you are too arrogant. Or, Venice is too arrogant. Don't you feel the crisis yet?" \\ r

"Crisis? Would like to hear more ..." Leonardo Lore didn't care much, but he still planned to see what Marin said. \\ r

"I know, you Venetians despise the strength of the Papal State. But, Leonardo, have you thought about it, the power of the Holy See, really only looks so simple on the bright side?" \\ r

Leonardo Lore frowned, thinking for a while, then said: \\ r

"You mean ... the Holy See calls other countries to fight against Venice?" \\ r

"You are right, Master Pope is planning this ..." \\ r

"Oh, Duke Marin, do n’t bluff me. The appeal of the Holy See is not false, but Venice did not send troops to attack the original site of the Holy See, just to help the Malatsta family recapture Caesar Pogia The seized land is just that. Can this also allow the Holy See to find an excuse to conquer Venice? "The Venetians believed that the Holy See had no reason to organize a multinational conspiracy against Venice before they dared to occupy the Rimini region with confidence. \\ r

"What Maratista family? Who does n’t know that Pandolfo of the Marratsta family is just a puppet of the Venetians? Moreover, the Venetians ignore the current situation in Europe ..." \\ r

"The situation in Europe? What do you say?" \\ r

"At present, there are mainly major powers in France, the Holy Roman Empire, Spain and the United Kingdom. May I ask, which one does Venice make good with?" \\ r

"Uh ... no ..." Leonardo Lore said awkwardly. \\ r

"In fact, most of the French forces have been excluded from Italy, and they are seeking to return to Italy ..." \\ r

"The Spaniards are naturally competitors to the Venetian in order to gain more share of the Indian spices trade ..." \\ r

"His Majesty Emperor Maximilian I, that is, my monarch, his Austria is close to Venice. And the Austrians have been greeted by the wealth of Venice for a long time ..." \\ r

"Um ... As for the UK, it seems that there is nothing to do with Venice ..." \\ r

… \\ r

Leonardo Lore thought about it, Marin said it was not bad at all. Seen in this light, Venice really has no strong allies, coveting their powers is quite a lot. \\ r

"What do you mean-those powers will call on the Holy See to fight together in Venice?" Leonardo Lore was a little unbelievable. \\ r

"Of course, Venice is so wealthy, who does n’t covet your wealth? For those big powers, responding to the Holy See ’s call so brightly, sending troops to Venice and robbing Venice ’s wealth, why not do it? Not important. What matters is that those big powers are willing to send troops to Venice ... "\\ r

Leonardo Lore rolled his eyes immediately-could you? Venice is so rich ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ And this time it is a multinational attack on Venice, who will send troops and benefit from it ... After all, robbery in Venice and robbery in the Swiss mountains are two different things ...

The official annual financial revenue of Venice, although only a few hundred thousand ducats. However, the merchants in Venice are more profitable ... \\ r

Venice is a country of businessmen, and the interests of businessmen are the first. Compared with the annual income of the national treasury of several hundred thousand gold coins, the total annual income of the merchants definitely exceeds ten million gold coins per year. \\ r

No matter which country's army, as long as there is a chance to break into the Venetian city of the Republic of Venice and grab a million-dollar worth of property, it's buoyant ... Even if you grab a few million-dollar worth of property, it's not uncommon-such a huge temptation , Few people or countries can bear it ... \\ r

Therefore, the governor of Venice Leonardo Loredan also began to realize the seriousness of the problem ...
