Chapter 240 Salzburg re-pacified

"Your Majesty, in your opinion, what is the reason why this rebellion can trigger such a big crisis." This time Ladislaus chose to let Machiavelli and Jones, two members of the State Council, stay in Vienna and lead the

He went to Hohenzollern and accompanied the army.

The official reason was that after the war began, resources would have to be given priority to support military operations. There was insufficient funds to build the city, so most projects had to be suspended. Machiavelli alone could handle most of the work.

The Chancellor of Hohenzollern had more or less expected that he would be the regent while Ladislaus was away. After all, he was the oldest, and the current situation of his main rival, Sazastan, was not good.

Although the Hohenzollern Prime Minister is not a believer in the Knights of Vision, believing in Sirik is not a big problem for the time being.

Since that fight on the beach was seen by so many people, it was certainly not a secret to the Hohenzollern officer. If he was so messed up, he would not be able to spy on the scene that more than a dozen people saw.

If he arrives, he will have already stepped down.

Although Ladislaus still left Sazastan alone, his level of trust had definitely declined.

It is a pity that Ladislaus finally chose Machiavelli, a solitary man with a shallow foundation.

"I think it's because too many knights have joined this time." Although it is clear that the real reason is that Ladislaus wants to support his cronies to suppress the old minister, but the Hohenzollern Prime Minister still tried his best to show his ability.

, after all, once an emperor and a courtier, most of Ladislaus's blows against the old courtiers still fell on the Archbishop of the Church of the Dark Sun. The Hohenzollern High Commissioner was confident that he could continue with his own ability and experience.

Those who maintain their status, at least most of them.

Ladislaus did not immediately intervene, but gave his chief minister more time to organize the words.

"The issue of faith is the main reason why this rebellion can grow." Although he did not express the profound class principle of the great mentor's assistant as Ladislaus expected, being able to be the number one civil servant in Austria is definitely an extraordinary talent.

."The gods Blackhand, Lady of the Night, Lady of Fire Hair"

The Ming Dynasty intervened in this rebellion. Although large-scale uprisings occurred in the northern areas where the Black Hand Church was relatively powerful, important towns such as Dresden, Leipzig and Berlin were never threatened, while the southern and central Germany where various gods were intertwined

It’s completely rotten.”

As a believer of Cyric, the Hohenzollern Chancellor carefully did not mention the Knights of Vision and the Lord of Flame. In fact, in this rebellion, these two priests of the gods with Austria as their base camp also took advantage of the chaos to carve up the West.

Rick's faith basically only got a little bit of residue because it didn't last as long as the old gods.

One thing that is very beneficial to Ladislaus is that the rebel army currently surrounding Augsburg is mainly organized by the goddess Sune.

After several small-scale challenges in Austria, this church moved its position and changed its main battlefield to Central Germany. The goddess of love and goodness abhorred serfdom.

This time the prairie fire was indeed lit by His pastor.

However, Suni's rebel army is still the best to deal with. What really eroded the foundation of Siric's rule in this area was first the corruption of Siric's church itself, and secondly the attack of Bane, who was only known as the Black Hand.

Bane, who had challenged Sirik for the first time, was the real challenger.

The priests of Shar relied too much on tricks, and the priests of Kassuth were too enthusiastic and lacked organization, but they were not as well-organized and clear-cut as the Blackhand priests.

Of course, Ladislaus still believed that there were many people, but the Suni uprising with the lowest proportion of knights was the easiest to deal with.

In fact, Ladislaus was not willing to help those Bann faction princes who were tempted by the Black Hand.

In fact, it would be just as he wanted if these great princes could be severely damaged.

The same principle applies to religious princes. Archbishop Ladislaus who believes in the Dark Sun has no interest in rescuing them.

"Your Excellency, Chancellor Hohenzollern, is it possible for the rebels to cause greater damage to the important ministers of the Holy Roman Empire?" Ladislaus asked quite worriedly, sincerely worried about the rebels' influence on these important officials.

The damage caused by the princes was not great enough.

"I think it's unlikely. The time is too short. The knights don't have time to gain authority. The rebels are just a loose sand." The Hohenzollern leader's expectations for his monarch are very clear. "Once a few princes coordinate a little bit,

If you step up and gather the mercenaries, the rebels will be gone."

There are also many middle- and lower-class nobles in Germany who have organized mercenary groups to make a living by fighting. Of course, these armed groups are much stronger than their Italian counterparts.

"Of course, some mercenary leaders will definitely join the rebellion soon and try to fish in troubled waters. Among them, particularly powerful leaders may not be able to break through several important fortresses. But they will never be recognized."

The words of Chancellor Hohenzollern are very reasonable. The Warlock Royal Family must never recognize the status gained through rebellion.

However, Ladislaus still had expectations for the rebels. He hoped that they would make the situation as chaotic as possible.

Before entering the Black Forest area, where the rebellion was the largest, Ladislaus had to go to Salzburg first. Although the distance was about the same as taking the northern route, it was actually not a smooth road. This route had to leave the water transport of the Danube River, so it cost a lot more money.

The transportation cost is reduced, but he has no choice.

A peasant uprising also occurred in Salzburg. The initial report was that it was only a few hundred peasants. Not to mention the high-risk area with tens of thousands of rebel troops, it was even smaller than the Tyrol uprising army.

However, the news has been cut off for several days recently, but Ladislaus is not too worried. After all, it is a newly conquered area with hundreds of standing troops stationed there. It is the key protection area in Austria after Vienna and Milan.

On March 15, 1524, Ladislaus arrived at the outskirts of Salzburg along the Salz River. Although it took a detour, it was rational and economical to conduct military maneuvers through the river.

The investigation team led by Boss Sirica brought back a situation that was much more serious than expected.

The rebel army did not consist of several hundred people, but more than two thousand.

"Perhaps the rebellion was also started by farmers who demanded personal freedom at the beginning, but now the rebels are not only some farmers who killed the landlords, but also the miners of the Salzburg Salt Mine also participated in the rebellion, and several people were close to the rebellion.

The small towns were not destroyed, and if I had not misjudged the squires in these small towns, they should have also turned to the rebels." Boss Sirica's observation was quite good.

Because Austria had obtained a large amount of Spanish surplus supplies, it launched an attack much faster than the rebels had ever known, and their vigilance was quite insufficient.

Boss Sirica is a professional who can spy on the aggressive nomadic tribes on the southern coast of the Mediterranean. He is more than enough to deal with these rebels.

"In that case, it's not just the farmers' problem. It should be that some prominent figures originally resisted the merger. This time they waited for the opportunity to rebel together. These traitors are really shameless. Your Highness, you are so generous and they don't know how to be grateful.

." The Hohenzollern High Commissioner was somewhat panicked. Although it was Ladislaus who originally asked not to massacre the local gentry during the war with Switzerland, he was the one who was in charge of the settlement at that time.

official.

It is true that he failed to do the work assigned by the monarch, but he didn't know whether Ladislaus intended to make himself take responsibility.

Ladislaus did not care about the Hohenzollern Prime Minister's efforts to extract himself, and he had no intention of further attacking the existing members of the Council of State.
