After five hours of secret talks, His Majesty the Pope personally sent the orphan out of the house. In the next two days, Gu never saw this guy again. Every day I just enjoy sightseeing and sightseeing accompanied by Romanian priests - the treaty and other things are still thrown to the diplomatic attach¨¦.
Speaking of which, this Romanian priest left a very bad impression on Gu - he was talking about the guy with a pair of red and blue cat eyes, blond hair, who looked like a gay - his name was Zhu Leo Cesare. He's a standard annoying guy. They have no idea what modesty is, and they have no idea how to hide their humility and restraint. They are just like those peacocks with worms on their heads who like to flaunt their feathers and bird screen. Superficial, superficial and a mess.
I really don¡¯t know how the Pope took a fancy to him. Is it really just because he has a standard shy face? If this is really the case, then the cooperation with the Pope needs to be re-evaluated.
On the last day, Gu accidentally saw something that dispelled Gu's doubts. While climbing a famous mountain near the Romanian capital, the team was suddenly attacked by a wind-type flying dragon. Seeing that a group of defenseless Romanian priests were about to be slaughtered, Gu rolled his eyes and was about to step forward to kill the animal, but found that Giulio had stepped forward and stepped forward. I don't know what method was used to appease and subdue this flying dragon. Rang Gu looked at him with admiration.
He seems to be very good at dealing with wild beasts. This guy.
Is it ¡°talent¡± or ¡°skill¡±?
I asked him nonchalantly, but he was pushy and perfunctory.
In this way, the three-day visit ended successfully, and similarly, the half-month foreign visit also ended successfully. The emerging country Prussia was finally recognized by other countries, and Gu Ye, as a newly rising powerful noble, received the honor he deserved. The signing of various formal friendship treaties will also speed up Prussia's development. Just like that, everything is perfect.
Except for the last sentence, the Pope said: "Don't forget the agreement between us."
Come on, who would accompany you to daydream like this? When Gu is strong enough, he will be the first to destroy you. A lunatic like you is too dangerous.
After returning to Prussia, Gu's life began to stabilize. Political affairs in the Middle Ages were quite easy to resolve. As a superior, Gu barely managed to obtain an evaluation level between outstanding and excellent. Better laws and regulations, various political initiatives to encourage industry and agriculture, and vibrant Northland residents made Prussia's development as fast as a rocket.
"Beyond that, it's war. War Speaking of which, in the fifth month after Gu returned to Prussia, Albrecht III was killed by an unknown assassin. Gu promised that this matter had nothing to do with Gu, let alone Made by a lonely person. Gu Ye definitely did not kill all the dozens of witnesses and escorts - that's it.
As a result, the country of Germania quickly became turbulent, and after a short period of fruitless inquiries, the major forces quickly began a civil war.
The goal is the throne - let¡¯s work together to win over other competing electors, or kill them
The eight electors in the entire empire quickly split into two camps. There were a total of five electors, fourteen counts, and other messy princes and sons who supported the Saxon elector Frederick to succeed to the throne. Occupying about three-quarters of Germania's strength.
And the only people who support Albrecht III's youngest son, Albrecht IV, who is only eight years old, to inherit the throne are their own Habsburgs and neighboring Bavaria, which has a deep marriage relationship. The strength is tragic.
The Saxon side gathered a total of 50,000 troops, which was very powerful, and the Elector Frederick of Saxony was known as the number one commander in Germania. He has been on the battlefield for decades without a single defeat.
In contrast, the W¨¹rttemberg and Saxony coalition forces only had 20,000 troops, and the commander of the coalition forces was only a little-known mediocre person. They have also been fighting for a lifetime, but they have won more than they lost. This guy was chosen just because there was really no one available.
In this way, the seven electors of Germania have finalized the deal. The troops were assembled and logistics and transportation were all prepared, but no one took action.
Because there is still a force in Germania that can shake the balance, the emerging Prussia, a powerful country composed of northerners, and its master, Wright Baldwin, known as Fenrir Wolf King, did not express a position.
This country has a standing army of 20,000 peopleThe elite army is at least twice as elite as the levies of other countries. The bravery of the Northlanders is famous throughout the continent. And Wright Baldwin is the brightest star in the night sky that has recently emerged.
For both parties, loneliness is necessary. Needless to say, the Habsburg side is completely waiting for Gu to save their lives. The Saxon side did not want to join the enemy alone. Add variables.
So, the envoys from both sides rushed to Magdeburg, the capital of Prussia, almost one after another, asking them to make the right choice and join their side for the sake of justice, morality, and the people.
So the envoys of the two families started to quarrel in Gu's main hall. The quarrel became more and more fierce, and in the end they almost started fighting.
"Stop it, two of you." Seeing that it was unreasonable to continue such a quarrel, Gu finally spoke, and the hall was immediately silent. The envoys from both families looked at Gu. The difference was that the W¨¹rttemberg side was very indifferent, while the Habsburg side was very calm. One side seems to be waiting for the final judgment. As for the Prussian civil servants and generals, they had no idea. Whether they are newcomers or veterans, they all have full confidence in Gu, thinking that no matter which side they join, their master will never lose.
"Gu, I once promised the late emperor to support the Habsburg imperial power. The words are still in my ears, I have no choice." Gu said.
After the words fell, the Habsburg envoy was overjoyed, but the Saxon envoy was extremely surprised.
"But - but the late emperor is dead - you don't have to abide by an oath made to a dead person at all?" He tried to argue.
"No need to say any more, I have decided to ask your envoy to leave quickly. If it is too late, he will be regarded as an enemy spy and killed by Ji Qi."
So the Saxon envoy fled in panic amidst the malicious laughter of the winter wolves.
"Please also trouble your envoy to convey Gu's wishes to your Majesty the Emperor. Within two days, Gu's army will be assembled. And they will march from the north and launch an offensive. When the time comes, I ask for your cooperation."
The Habsburg envoy was also satisfied and left with a lot of gratitude.
After that, the Wolf of the Far North showed its fangs and claws again, and the 20,000-strong army was assembled in one day. Then, without any rest at all, they quickly boarded more than 500 transport airships that had been prepared. They launched a quick attack and landed in the northern part of the Saxon Allied Forces the next day. After a short breakfast, they took the powerful heavily armored knights and dragon knights as the forerunners and launched a fierce attack under the cover of the flying ship cannon.
At this moment, it is only a few hours before the Saxon envoy returns to life. The Saxon Allied Forces did not even react before they were violently attacked from behind, and they were caught off guard and suffered a huge loss. After the battle went on for a period of time, the Habsburg and Bavarian Allied Forces also responded and immediately joined the attack. The Saxon Allied Forces, which was attacked from both sides, collapsed in an instant. The fifty thousand troops were either dead or surrendered. The seemingly powerful army only lasted less than a day before disappearing into thin air. Everything was like a dream.
Immediately afterwards, the combined forces of the Three Kingdoms advanced all the way under Gu's command. Most of the enemy's rear towns that lost most of their troops surrendered without any resistance. In this way, this civil war became the shortest in the history of Germania. From the assassination of Albrecht III to the successful succession of Albrecht IV, it only took less than a month. time.
So far, Fenrir Winter Wolf has once again shaken the entire continent. Its terrifying and crazy style of completely ignoring the rear supply line and flanks and directly charging forward with lightning has been talked about for a period of time. The battle for the Germanian throne is also known as the classic battle that changed history.
After the war, the Elector of Saxony, the Elector of W¨¹rttemberg, and the Elector of Burgundy died in battle, and their territories were divided up. As the biggest contributor to this battle and the most powerful nobleman in Germania so far, Gu Gu took the biggest share without hesitation.
A large area of ??land in the coastal areas of the Sanjia Hou Kingdom was collected by the orphans. At the same time, Gu also obtained the nominal suzerainty of dozens of counts throughout Northern Germania and nearly a hundred free towns. The territory borders directly on Torristin to the west. It extends northward to the snowfields. Coupled with the old Prussian land and the Great Plains of the Bo River, the territory occupied by Gu has exceeded the maximum limit that a marquis can own.
So, after some appropriate hints, the powerful Habsburg nobles discussed it and allowed me to be crowned king in the name of Albrecht IV. This has never happened before in the entire history of Germania. The system of eight electors has been maintained for thousands of years. But I didn't expect that it would be broken today with such behavior.
After receiving this news, the Papal State Romania announced on the first schedule:?Approved and issued a statement allowing Gu to go to Romania and be crowned by the Pope himself. Intimidated by Prussia's mighty military power, several other countries only muttered a few words. No clear objection was expressed. In the end, after Gu was crowned, he could only reluctantly send an envoy to congratulate him.
At this point, the second step of Gu¡¯s plan has been completed. Gradually the third step began. Exercising Solitary suzerainty throughout Northern Germania. Forcibly unify the laws of the entire Northern Germania, abolish the toll taxes between various territories, and unify the market. And issue standard gold, silver and copper coins. Establish a central bank, open branches in various places, and promote the credit system. Recruit troops and train new troops. Organize local people and train local garrison
I believe it won¡¯t be long before the entire northern Germania will be digested and absorbed and completely integrated with Prussia. And Guhui will send out another 20,000 elite troops. By that time, the conditions for unifying the entire Germania will be ripe. All emperors and popes have to step aside. Alone is the ultimate winner.
At the same time as Gu made his move, Joseph of Goria also made his own chess piece - the Albion noble family rebels. The aristocratic coalition fought successively in the war with the royal family and captured the absolute capital of Albion. most territories. We can seize power right away.
Speaking of which, this trick can be hidden from others, but it cannot be hidden from Gu's eyes. How could that mediocre bishop stand out among the coalition forces? He had only studied several battles he presided over. I found out that it was entirely Joseph¡¯s routine. How could a father and son who were idiots in the royal family win over a genius military strategist like him? Naturally, he was beaten to pieces. It was about to end.
But then again. I have not discovered the magic of long-distance communication in this world. There are no similar props. People usually rely on bird familiars to deliver urgent messages. General messages were delivered by postmen on horseback and in flying boats. But things are changing rapidly on the battlefield. With such an inefficient transmission method, how did Joseph command the Albion battlefield thousands of miles away? What a weird thing.
But Gu did not delve into this matter. Speaking of which, although Joseph ranks high on Gu's threat list, Gu does not want to eliminate him as soon as possible. The first is the lack of strength. Gu has just annexed so much territory, and it will take some time to digest and absorb it. The second one is psychological. It's rare to find such a guy in this world who is so in tune with Gu. Gu wanted him to get it a little longer. Raise it to the end and have a peak showdown with him. In the end, he died vigorously on the battlefield. As a friend, doing this is worthy of him.
And according to Gu¡¯s observation, Joseph seems to think so too. Therefore, it did not directly intervene in the Germanian Civil War a few days ago. Instead, he chose Albion, an idiot opponent.
So, the mainland spent another year in turmoil. The Germanian Civil War has come to an end. The Albion Civil War was also about to come to an end, shortly after the Ancestor Festival. In a spring day when everything was coming back to life, I suddenly received an invitation from Toristin. Although the invitation was rather vague, the meaning was still very clear - that idiot-level Ann who was reluctant to inherit the throne. Her Royal Highness Princess Lietta wants to marry Gu.
What a good opportunity. Speaking of which, the rich Torristin is indeed a delicacy. Gu Ye is trying to figure it out. But firstly, there is no excuse, and secondly, the unification of Germania is the first priority. I don't have the energy to talk to him for the time being.
But Gu didn¡¯t expect that if Gu didn¡¯t look for her, she would run to him by herself. God does not take it, but it is the fault - a beautiful woman gives a country as a gift when she gets married. How could I not agree to such a good condition?
Speaking of which, it has been eighteen years since I came to this world. I haven't found a woman before because that damned god of death vowed that she would send Yuxi here too. Gu actually believed her words and spent countless time and energy searching for Youxi over the years. But there has been no result. He must have been fooled.
In this case, I relaxed and decided to settle the score with her after I got back. Treat yourself well during this time. Let¡¯s vent the desires accumulated after being a good gentleman for eighteen years.
