"Your Excellency, the first person kneeling on the left is the traitor who claims to be a descendant of the Przemys family." Ladislaus said with great interest that the Duke of Bourbon pointed out an unlucky guy who was about to be separated.

"Well, well, as expected, he has a treacherous and cunning look on his face." The Duke of Bourbon followed Ladislaus's instructions and leaned forward, "Such a traitor who covets the throne must not stay."

Although the Duke of Bourbon and the Bohemian nobleman who coveted the throne are similar in a sense.

But one is a distinguished guest who will go to war with the generals, and the other is a prisoner who is about to be beheaded.

It is impossible for the Duke of Bourbon to feel any sadness because of this.

Ladislaus has promised to provide him with a fund directly. Although it is just a loan, it will be recorded in Ferdinand's account, and the Duke of Bourbon will just spend it.

The economic situation in Spain really made him despair. The empire, which seemed to dare not disobey the orders of the world, was actually having difficulty paying its dues.

The continuous war with France and the conquest of the New World had pushed Spain's finances to the limit.

However, it is absolutely impossible to reduce expenditures, the war against France cannot be ended, and the conquest of the New World has reached the eve of bearing the fruits of victory. We must not relax at this time.

The provinces in Spain's mainland have been squeezed to the limit and can only be open sourced elsewhere.

The key financial source of this empire was the Netherlands, although the emperor took the Princess of Stone around to personally maintain stability there.

However, the alliance between Britain and France still caused the Netherlands' stability maintenance funds to rise sharply. The Dutch nobles, fed up with high taxes and Spanish bureaucracy, were looking for foreign monarchs who might support their rebellion.

Although Henry VIII gradually tended not to openly ally with France, his agents were extremely active in the Netherlands. There were mysterious figures with London allowances wandering around the mansions of the Dutch nobles, spreading and expanding their influence on Madrid.

Anger and dissatisfaction.

Ferdinand and his Spanish naval and land forces gathered in the Netherlands and managed to control the situation.

The Duke of Bourbon's troops stationed in the Principality of Savoy have not been paid for almost half a year. The Duke of Savoy has been forced to flee to the city of Nice. Anyway, his capital has been repeatedly ravaged in the past few years, and there is nothing good about it.

Nostalgic.

The Spanish army dug three feet into the city of Turin, but it was barely enough to eat.

The Duke of Bourbon finally got some funds in Vienna this time. Otherwise, his men would mutiny.

"good!"

"Rebellious ministers and traitors!"

For these tales, the Duke of Bourbon clapped his hands immediately after seeing the heads fall to the ground. He now sincerely hopes that Ladislaus's country will be prosperous and powerful.

Silver Taller best promotes friendship.

The Hungarians were also cheering for Ladislaus, but it was hard to tell how sincere they were.

The executioner took the duke's head in his hand and circled the execution place so that everyone could see his death.

"Everyone, after the rebels in Bohemia are put to death, I will continue to crusade against the Shaobao gang in the east, and I must restore peace and stability to the Kingdom of Hungary within this year." Ladislaus finally decided to lead an army to attack Shaupo.

Retreat and use overwhelming superior force to deter possible Polish intervention.

If the Duke of Bourbon wants to attack Provence, let him go. Ladislaus won't go anyway. The back-and-forth tug-of-war between France and Spain has left this area very damaged. If it weren't for the supply by sea, there would be no supply at all.

Army.

Giving him a little money can just avoid this responsibility.

The Duke of Bourbon actually did not want Ladislaus to help him. He would rather retain full military command than Austrian reinforcements.

"Although the United Kingdom is under great financial pressure this year, considering the continuous wars in Hungary this year, I have decided to exempt all the territories of the Kingdom of Hungary from autumn taxes today!"

"ah!"

"Long live!"

Ladislaus's tax reduction plan had only been discussed with Machiavelli, so it caused an uproar among the Hungarian nobles immediately after its announcement.

This is the most tangible benefit.

"Of course, the scope of tax exemption is limited to the yeoman farmers and the Hungarian nobles and people who fought against the pagans together. Those nobles and large landowners who did not participate in the pursuit do not have this preference."

At this time, the Hungarian nobles who were present realized that those who could watch the beheading today seemed to have participated in the pursuit of the Ottomans. Even if some of them were forced to leave within a few days, they had indeed visited Ladislaus on the Danube River.

S.

Those who weren't invited are obviously in trouble, and today is just the beginning.

Part of the land and power of the troubled nobles will be taken back by Ladislaus, and part will belong to these Hungarian nobles who arrived in time to support them.

For a time, most of the pain of watching the beheading disappeared, and their emotions suddenly changed from depression to excitement.

Although this is a very superficial differentiation method by Ladislaus, there is no need to make things confusing when it comes to interests. It is most important to clearly give the benefits.

"Long live the king!" The white-haired Duke Puskas suddenly took the lead in cheering.

Because of his guerrilla warfare behind the Ottoman army and his performance in the Battle of Pest, Puskas gained a status among the Hungarians second only to Horthy, who was recommended by Mary. He also became a close confidant of Hohenzollern and Jones.

.

The two members of the Council of State also needed to establish contacts with the Hungarian nobility.

At the suggestion of the two ministers of the State Council, Ladislaus deprived the title of the head of the family who followed Shauporai and gave it to him. Of course, Shauporui also deprived him of the title.

This is not the only family that is split into two parts. Who can continue to maintain their glory and wealth depends on whose backstage boss can win.

"I will still try my best to march along the tributaries of the Danube River this time to reduce the number of civilian mobilizations. Therefore, I hope that everyone can do their best to plow the spring in their own territories and heal the wounds of the war as soon as possible." In fact, Ladislaus just wanted to do so.

Taxes for yeoman farmers are exempted, but for the sake of operability, only part of the taxes for nobles can be exempted.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to work with you to suppress the rebellion!" There are also some war fanatics who are eager to go to the battlefield to gain merit.

"Duke Puskas is commendable for his loyalty, but you also need to pass the Latin Military Doctrine Examination......"

.............................

"Hey, it's such a hard life, so hard life." Although Duke Puskas and Duke Horthy now belong to different factions, they are still very close and often visit each other.

"Old Puskas has to pass that unfortunate exam to get the status of an officer. It seems that His Majesty the King is serious." Duchess Horthy said worriedly to her husband. She knew that her relatives

What kind of stuff are they all? Because they may still have some skills in traditional horse riding and archery, but it is really difficult for them to study.

"This is a language barrier that must be passed. I am learning German, so why can't they learn Latin?" Duke Horthy, as the civil servant leader of Buda, can speak Latin, and several of his brother's sons can also do it.

Latin.

"You also need to supervise the girls at home. They can no longer make do with their confusing deaf-mute Latin. They need to be able to write and read in half a year, and they need to learn German in two years. You have to figure it out yourself, right?

I never want to blend into Vienna’s circle of ladies. If I want to blend in, I’ll just learn German honestly.”

In the past, Horthy had always turned a blind eye to the academic studies of the girls in his family, but that will no longer be the case.

Ladislaus was delaying the time for the Puskas to join the standing army, and Ladislaus had already begun to add Hungarians to the army.

In fact, all the shortages in the standing army this time were recruited from Hungarians and Bohemians. Ladislaus was deliberately establishing a military organization in which the German-speaking people would be dominant and supplemented by other peoples.

Let the soldiers enter the establishment first, while the noble officers will join later.

Learning a new language was enough to separate the most unmotivated nobles from the army. At the same time, Ladislaus promoted officers among the soldiers. The first condition was to be able to read and write Latin, and the second was to know the greatness of the Habsburg family.

History, and of course another option is to be proficient in mathematics, Ladislaus was determined to make the trebuchet force more professional, which required educated officers.

This upward ladder can bring elites among soldiers into the ruling class without causing too much dissatisfaction among the vested interest classes, because the difficulty of these examinations is too high. For relatively wealthy nobles, soldiers have to take this path.

The road lacks resources even more, and only the most perseverant and motivated people can make it. These people are exactly what Ladislaus needs.

"I don't even know the history of the Yagloni family. It's really a headache to learn this now." Of course, this course also made Puskas painful. "But if you don't learn it, you really don't know. It turns out that the Warlock Royal Family

There have been so many Hungarian kings in my family, and his grandfather was the posthumous king. No wonder the king speaks Hungarian so well."

Ladislaus forced Hungarians to learn Latin to strengthen national cohesion, and at the same time showed his closeness through his own Hungarian.

There are only a few aristocrats who are as ignorant as Puskas.

Expanding the knowledge of Ladislaus's family genealogy among the soldiers would obviously greatly strengthen their attachment to the crown.

"It's just that when he first arrived in Austria, he was so ambitious in promoting Latin." Puskas continued.

"Fortune favors the prepared," Duchess Horthy suddenly said.

"It's true, ma'am, it's true." Duke Horthy exclaimed loudly. "So we must be prepared this time. If nothing happens this time, I will also go out with the army to conquer Shauporai. I can only go to the front line.
