Chapter 317 The so-called man of insight
Ladislaus has no choice but to accept the Venetian terms, but before he is ready to send Shylock back to Venice again, an unexpected visitor arrives in Vienna.
After the maid from Spain poured water on the hot stones, she left the sauna, which was a private space belonging to Princess Catharina.
Ladislaus didn't like this kind of expense. He never shared this bathroom with Katharina to show his attitude, but today he borrowed this room for state affairs.
"Praise for your piety, Your Highness the Cardinal." The envoy from Hungary was kissing Ladislaus's ring.
Because he asked to meet alone, the two are now talking in a bathroom. They are obviously both naked. However, the caster is obviously less affected, and Ladislaus does not have to worry about assassination. Frundsberg
He rushed in just in time after Ladislaus sent the distress signal.
"Nice to meet you, Lord Fedtaler." Fedtaler claimed that he was returning to Buda from Venice and passing through Vienna. "Tell me, why did you give up the convenient sea route and take the land route? From Croatia.
It’s much faster to go to Venice.”
"Because my Lord, His Majesty Louis, I hope that I can make you unhappy on the way back." Feidtal said with his bare buttocks in the most serious manner that was completely inconsistent with diplomatic etiquette, "Of course, the official statement is that I would like to
By the way, I would like to inform you of his concern about the French occupation of Milan."
"I lost Milan and Friuli, and His Majesty Louis only lost Islia, so he is very happy?" Ladislaus certainly did not forget that the last election for the throne was with the help of Lord Feidetaler.
"As the son-in-law of the Habsburg family, he is not very kind, haha."
"It is indeed not very kind. It can even be said to be shameless." Of course, these rebellious words of Feidtaler need to be seen alone before he can say it, but his real appeal is obviously not to complain. "Turn a blind eye to the threat from the east, and just fantasize about the ever-increasing threats."
The Ottoman army did not necessarily come to attack Hungary. After their stupid attempt to seize the throne of the Holy Roman Empire was naturally frustrated, they actually went to unite with France when they needed the support of Austria and Poland the most, hurting the feelings of Austria and Poland."
"How did His Majesty Louis hurt Poland's feelings?" Ladislaus was very concerned about the relationship between the two kings of Eastern Europe who both belonged to the Jaglonni family.
"King Louis hastily hired a large number of Cossacks without notifying the Kingdom of Poland. Although those Cossacks wandering on the Ukrainian grasslands have always been a headache for the Kingdom of Poland, hiring them on a large scale without permission is absolutely not allowed.
." Fedtaler further explained the reason why the Kingdom of Poland refused to let the Kingdom of Hungary hire these troublemakers. "The Kingdom of Poland also needs these Cossacks to participate in the attack on the conservative forces of the Teutonic Knights."
"Conservatives?" Ladislaus realized that Hungary had more relevant intelligence.
"Grandmaster Albrathy-Hohenzollern has converted to the Black Hand and decided to surrender to the Kingdom of Poland. In return, he will become the Duke of Prussia and receive half of the territory of the Teutonic Knights as a fief. Those Teutonic Knights who believe in the Dark Sun
Of course I didn’t agree, and civil war was about to break out.” Feidtaler revealed the carefully guarded secrets of Poland and Brandenburg to Ladislaus without hesitation.
After hearing this, Ladislaus could only remain silent. Even if there was a conflict between the Hohenzollern family and the Kingdom of Poland, he would hesitate to intervene, let alone a tacit understanding between the two parties.
Feidtaler also knew very well that this intelligence was only an expression of his goodwill. Austria was now powerless against the expansion of the Kingdom of Poland. "Not only did it betray Islia to those despicable profiteers, but it also launched a war against Austria. The Kingdom of Hungary
All knowledgeable people are shocked and angry at King Louis’s perverse behavior.”
What Feidetaler said was true, but of course there was a part of the truth that he did not say, that is, he instigated a large part of the Hungarian King's actions, and it was he who discovered and used King Louis' influence on the Habsburg family.
Angry at being humiliated in the imperial election, he betrayed Islia to the Republic of Venice. Not only did he receive a commission of 300,000 thalers from the Consul of Goriti, but King Louis also received 2 million thalers from Venice.
Most of the royalties were given to him, and he was appointed to organize the troops for the war against Austria.
Among Hungarian intellectuals, His Excellency Federtaler had a worse reputation than King Louis. This nobleman from Germany was accused by Johann Szaboray, who was already idle at home, of being a sycophant and a villain.
Ladislaus knew very well that this accusation was not true. Feidtaler was not a sycophant or a villain, but a careerist.
"So how will the wise men of Hungary stop His Majesty King Louis from his wrong actions?" Ladislaus needed this careerist.
"People of insight will make every effort to stop His Majesty Louis. However, this will inevitably cause interference from the Kingdom of Poland. Although there is a conflict, the two kings are cousins after all, so once King Louis is deposed, people of insight will
Can the newly established king with high moral standing get the support of Austria?" It is still very touching to use people of insight to refer to themselves as "I".
Ladislaus raised his eyebrows and did not immediately agree to support the "highly respected" careerist in front of him. This was too unreliable. Can a foreign German nobleman really be recognized by the Hungarian nobles?
"Of course. The position of elector of Bohemia should be returned to the noble warlock royal family. Having an elector position is a good help for your family to control the throne for a long time, isn't it?" Feidetaler proposed.
got what Ladislaus wanted and had no votes of his own in the election for the throne.
It has always been a great regret for the Habsburg family, but this is something he cannot promise at all. "I don't need your support, or even your public recognition, as long as you don't ask Hungary when the time comes.
and the dominance of Croatia, just attack Bohemia."
"Will people of insight immediately take action to plunge the Kingdom of Hungary into chaos and be unable to implement its alliance with the Kingdom of France?" Since Ladislaus does not need to openly support the rebellious ministers and traitors, of course he does not mind that Hungary will become more chaotic.
"I don't know about this, but I assure you that the army of the Kingdom of Hungary will not cross the border, and you will confirm this soon." Fedtaler still needs some time to convert money into force. For the time being,
In other words, his strength is far from enough.
"As long as you allow me to concentrate on dealing with the French, I will never forget your kindness, and our magician royal family always keeps our promises." Ladislaus held Federtal's hand. "But.
, I hope to see the impact of knowledgeable people quickly.”
"Of course, please don't worry."
