September in the golden autumn is supposed to be the harvest season, but many farmers who were supposed to harvest were killed or fled to other places.

As far as he could see, Ladislaus saw barren and uncared for crop fields. Of course, the peasant uprising was a disaster for the farmers. Of course, this did not mean that Ladislaus thought they should be honest.

It is true that we are oppressed, but everything has a price. Freedom and freedom are always a beautiful flower watered with blood.

The situation was even worse than when Ladislaus returned to the army. Several places where the uprising originated were razed by the Bavarian army. This kind of punishment and revenge is still in progress. All the uprising people who participated in the killing of nobles are still alive today.

He is still being hunted, and once caught, he will be executed in the most brutal way.

Despite the depression and chaos in the country, Ladislaus was warmly received by the Duke of Bavaria in Munich.

The banquet in the Duke's residence was of a higher standard than the Austrian state banquet, and all kinds of delicacies were delivered to the nobles like water.

Ladislaus was extremely tired of the Duke of Bavaria's extra-standard hospitality. In his opinion, it was an extremely low-level method to destroy the people. This huge waste did not make Ladislaus have any good impression of the Duke of Bavaria.

, only exposed his eagerness.

There are only a handful of things that would make a duke so eager, such as the power to elect an emperor.

As members of the Wittelsbach family, the influence of those with the power to elect an emperor and those without the power to elect an emperor can be vastly different.

"Your Highness Habsburg, you are both the emperor's agent and the cardinal of His Majesty God. Now Martin Luther's evil hands have penetrated into southern Germany. If we don't give them a head-on blow, the overall situation will be catastrophic.

It has been restored. Once the faith is divided, the people will be divided. Once the people are divided, the great Holy Roman Empire will also be divided." The Duke of Bavaria's words sounded like a good prince who loved his people as his son and was loyal to the empire.

It is a pity that Ladislaus saw with his own eyes countless displaced farmers and brutally exploited citizens, but could not punish this villain.

Although such extravagance is disgusting, it does show that the villain hopes to gain the support of Ladislaus.

At least he wants to get the support of the Habsburg family to realize his own ambition. According to current standards, this is a very good prince, at least compared to those princes who hope to get the support of the King of France.

"Your Highness, don't say that the Elector of Rhine-Palatinate did not openly believe in the Black Hand. Even the Electors of Saxony and Brandenburg, who had openly broken with the Roman Church, were not deprived of their titles. Although I think you did.

I am qualified to have the right to elect the emperor, but until His Majesty Ferdinand has not officially declared his attitude towards heresy, I can't do anything." Ladislaus's words were veiled in teasing the Duke in front of him.

"The Elector of the Rhine-Palatinate, like the Elector of Saxony, has usurped a large number of bishops and monastery real estate. Even part of the territory of the Free City of Nuremberg and the Free City of Regensburg was taken away by him. You are the emperor.

His Majesty's agent in Austria certainly has the right to exercise the power of the emperor." The Duke of Bavaria still encouraged Ladislaus desperately.

The Prime Minister and diplomats of Bavaria also surrounded the treasurer of Sazastan who was accompanying the army at this time, trying to influence his decision-making.

"Although this mob rebellion did cause certain losses to the principality's finances, the Principality of Bavaria is the region with the highest water conservancy and farming technology in South Germany. Compared with those electors who massacred believers in God within the territory, in fact,

We have not lost many residents, and there are still many believers in God who have come to join us." The Prime Minister of the Principality of Bavaria tried to prove to Sazastan that they were not pretending to be rich but really rich. "A group belonging to the Elector of the Rhine-Palatinate

The troops looted several monasteries and were then wiped out by my righteous troops in Bavaria, beheading hundreds and capturing countless others.”

Bavaria's Foreign Minister immediately followed suit: "If you can convince His Highness Habsburg to agree, Bavaria can mobilize eight thousand troops. Together with the Austrian army, we will definitely be able to defeat the Elector of the Rhine-Palatinate and the Elector of Saxony."

These two national thieves who resist the king's transformation are seeking peace together."

"The Duke of Bavaria hired so many mercenary groups to suppress the rebels?" Sazhastan asked, "But once the scale of the mercenary army expands, the difficulty of command will increase sharply. It is very likely that they will not be able to exert their combat effectiveness at all."

This is also a well-known fact. Mercenary units are still very useful in battles with less than 3,000 people. Once the scale expands, those mercenary captains who only want to preserve their strength can only use "

No wonder” to sum up.

"But two thousand of the eight thousand mercenaries are standing troops, and the Austrian heavenly soldiers are of course the main force. If Austria agrees to let the Duke of Bavaria get all the territory of the Wittelsbach family and the position of elector, the Duke of Bavaria is willing to bear the cost of Austria's troops.

All grain and grass, and another two million talers will be given to the Warlock Royal Family to support the construction of the New City of Vienna. As long as your monarch nods. Five hundred thousand of them will be given immediately, and another five hundred thousand will be given after the elector's position is in place. Territory

I will give you another one million after the handover is completed."

Ladislaus fought his way out of Munich inch by inch through a group of Bavarian ladies.

"I didn't expect that he would have such a big appetite that he wanted to seize all the territory of the Wittelsbach family. This is absolutely impossible. The Wittelsbach family already coveted the throne. The old emperor Maximilian I wasted no time.

I have tried my best to prevent the unification of this family. I must not cultivate an opponent who can rival Austria within the empire just for the sake of small immediate gains." Ladislaus's overall policy towards the domestic princes is unchangeable, Vitus said.

Since the Bach family is the second most powerful family, they will never be allowed to unify, even if the number he gave made Ladislaus's stomach acid and saliva secretion increase. "No amount of money will do."

"The territory of the Wittelsbach family is too large. If he is allowed to unify, there will be another lion Henry who can challenge the center." The lion Henry in Sazhastan's words is the same as the Hohenstaufen emperor nicknamed "Barbarossa".

Friends since childhood, this pair of monarchs and ministers had worked closely together to push the Holy Roman Empire to its peak. However, after they became fully fledged, they eventually parted ways with the monarch. "It's just that this time, the Duke of Bavaria probably really has a lot of money."

"Isn't Bavaria, like most of the princely states, just barely surviving?" Ladislaus thought that the banquet was just a bluff.

"No, I think the Duke of Bavaria has climbed onto a high tree this time. Please ask Boss Silica to go to Munich to investigate this matter...
