Zhao Yougong mobilized the Dingguo army to exterminate Turik's church soldiers. In a sense, he was also helping the German nobles. Just like Yurico, in normal times, he would not have the courage to attack church personnel blatantly. In the Germanic Empire, no matter how arrogant and domineering the nobles led by Doerle and Schwein were, they still did not dare to point fingers at the church. The restrictions were certain, but they did not dare to even think about dealing with the church. The church controls public opinion and has its own private armed forces. What kind of power is this? A hundred years ago, the Hohenzollern nobles suppressed the church. As a result, before the church was defeated, the people of Hohenzollern started to make trouble. In the end, the entire kingdom was turned upside down. The mutiny against the church ended with the Hohenzollern people. Sauron's nobles ended in a disastrous defeat. Later, the German nobles had no choice but to accept the reality. Even hardliners like Lothair had to ask the Pope to preside over the throne when they first ascended the throne. By getting rid of the church's armed forces, the German nobles headed by the Frederick family could also suppress the church's power and weaken the church's influence little by little. Therefore, Dingguojun's job is not small. Zhao Yougong also understands the consequences of doing so, but it is really helpless. After Turik's death, the situation in Yumsburg has basically stabilized. Yulico is sensible. As soon as the church's armed forces are defeated, he takes the initiative to dismiss the family soldiers to avoid misunderstandings. In order to show his loyalty, Yuliko gave up his private manor to Zhao Yougong to live in. Dawn was about to arrive, but his sleepiness was getting thicker and thicker. He had been stationed outside the city these days, braving the cold wind, and even a hard-core person couldn't bear it. crime. Xiao Zhiyun spread the quilt and felt a little distressed when she saw Zhao Yougong's tired face, "You don't have to worry about Lorraine's affairs. Luo Weidenov is cunning and will not let us suffer. It's Turik's. Why do we have to wipe out the church armed forces and throw these people back to Hohenzollern? " Zhao Yougong turned over and changed into a more comfortable position, "Things are not that simple. The Western world is different from ours. It is too big, and the influence of the church is immeasurable. Based on our previous actions, we have become a mortal enemy of the church, and there is no possibility of relaxation. The church is a greater threat than those German native nobles. You must forget that we are a group of pagans. As long as the influence of the church is still there, we cannot really rule Saxony. Therefore, getting rid of the church is a must. Although it is easier for the German nobles, it is not a big deal. The problem is, we have the same goal when it comes to killing the church. " Pope Gregory couldn't hear Zhao Yougong's words. If he could, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood. In any case, the Battle of Juumsburg was a heavy blow to the church. With the news of the fall of Juumsburg, a magnitude 7 earthquake shook the entire Hohenzollern area. Doerle is also happy to see the church suffer a blow. Once the church is weakened, it will be good for everyone. In the battle in the misty forest, although the noble soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses, the Dingguo army did not really kill them, at least they did not pursue them desperately. Dorle also understood the meaning of this very well. By doing this, the Easterners were telling the Germanic nobles a truth. From now on, Saxony will be the territory of the Eastern Empire. If the Eastern army does not take the initiative to go south to deal with the Germanic nobles, the Germanic nobles should not take the initiative to provoke the East. empire. Saxony fell into the hands of the Eastern Empire. It was inevitable. Dorle and other nobles could only recognize this reality. Now the Eastern people took the initiative to kill the last armed forces of the church in the Hohenzollern area, which was also an act of goodwill. Doerle is not a stupid pig, he certainly knows what to do. It was already midnight, and the street was dark and cold, but Doerle still asked his servants to get the carriage and go to Schwein's manor. What is done next will have a huge impact on the entire Holy Empire, so one has to be cautious, and Schwein's influence must also be considered. There was still light in the manor, and Schwein had not yet fallen asleep. He seemed to have guessed that Dorle would visit him late at night. Looking at the dusty Dorle, Schwein pursed his lips and motioned for Dorle to find a place to sit down, "Your Excellency Dorle, it is late at night and you are not at home to have a good rest, but you are even interested in coming to my place. , It¡¯s really elegant.¡± ¡°Schwein, we plain people don¡¯t tell secrets. The armed forces of the church in the Hohenzollern area have been completely annihilated by the Easterners in Yumsburg. Don¡¯t tell me that you have no idea. No." Doerle understood Schwein's temperament and it was best to be fair and aboveboard when negotiating with this person. Being careful would not have much effect. Schwein sat up straight and picked up the wine glass on the table with his right hand. He looked very leisurely. "Dorle, are you too naive? Hohenzollern is the territory of your eastern nobles. I will help you attack the church. What good does it do to us Danube nobles? Hey, although the church has lost its arms, the civilian believers are unknown, and you should be very aware of the risks." Dorle breathed a sigh of relief. Since Schwein did not refuse directly, That proves that there is still room for discussion on this matter, "Your Excellency Schwein, aren't you Danube nobles also deeply affected by the interference of the church? It would also be bad for you to weaken the influence of the church."It¡¯s very beneficial. Of course, in order to deal with the church, we can transfer some of our interests. Whatever the Danube nobles want, you can put forward it. As long as it is not too much, I will consider it. "Interests are the most real thing. Doerle believes that there is no unsuccessful negotiation. It all depends on how much chips you can throw out. As long as the other party is tempted, the negotiation will definitely succeed. Sure enough, after listening to Doerle's words, Shi Wei Yin showed a solemn look, thought for a while, and said in a low voice, "We want two cities in the southern part of the Principality of Brandenburg. If Mr. Dorle does not agree, then there is no need for us to continue talking. With your The abilities of the eastern nobles may not be enough to face the church alone. " Schwein had a malicious smile on his face. The blood in Doerle's head was rising, and he almost jumped up. The veins on his forehead were throbbing, and he wanted to reach out and strangle Schwein in front of him. The Danube nobleman was indeed The two cities are not a big deal if they are ambitious. No matter how weak the eastern nobles are, they can still take advantage of the two cities. The key is the southern part of the Principality of Brandenburg. Once the Danube nobles swallow the two southern cities, they will have entered. It would be difficult to drive him out of the Hohenzollern Plain in the future. If the situation were different, Doerle would definitely kill Schwein, but now, he really doesn't dare. The church is powerful and has countless civilian believers. Now it is being conquered by the Easterners. Being weakened is a good opportunity to take action. This opportunity only comes once in a century. Once the church recovers, it will be difficult to take action again. Compared with the threat of the Danube nobles, the threat of the church is greater, no matter what the Danube is. In this way, it is impossible to interfere in the internal affairs of the eastern nobles, but the church is different. It can intervene in the affairs of the eastern nobles at any time. After thinking about it, Dorle swallowed the bad breath and then stretched out his face with a cold face. Pointing out a finger, "One, if you don't want it, let's not talk about it. Let's continue to let the church suffer in the future." " Schwein raised his brows and smiled brighter. It's just one building. Anyway, he just wants to find a springboard to enter the Hohenzollern Plain. There is not much difference between one building and two. "Okay, we accept your conditions. , kill the church first and then talk. " Pope Gregory is still grieving over the incident in Yumsburg. Little did he know that the two aristocratic forces of the Holy Empire have already hung the ghost-headed sword over the head of the church. In the manor castle, two glasses of wine, two people, and an agreement, After draining the glass of wine, Doerle did not propose any written agreement. That thing was of no use at all. "Schwein, after we kill the church, we can each use our own methods. We want to eat the Hohenzollern." Go in, aren't you afraid of filling your stomach? " "Why can't I eat what Mr. Dorle can eat? It will make my stomach full?" Your Excellency Doerle underestimates people, we just have a big appetite, but you, the Frederick family, the people of Southern Lorraine are about to fall into the arms of the Orientals, and you will suffer heavy losses." Schwein refused to give in, and the two of them The Hohenzollern Plain was a big fat piece of meat. How could it stand up to its sharp teeth? The next day, the Hohenzollern Plain north of the Ship River suddenly became tense. A large number of noble lords led their family soldiers into the Hohenzollern area. At the same time, the residents of Hohenzollern were also controlled. To the southwest of Hohenzollern, near the Elbe River, was the Ark Church established by the Church in the Holy Empire. After more than four hundred years of development, the Ark Church has become the most sacred place for German believers. It is also the place where successive popes presided over the enthronement ceremony of the kings of the Holy Empire. After Pope Gregory came to Hohenzollern, he Live in the Ark Lecture Hall. It is a magnificent church built with bluestone as the main body, long internal corridors and beautiful murals. Even in winter, the courtyard is still full of green, with beautiful patterns carved on the white marble pillars and pavilions. Church personnel were everywhere. It didn¡¯t look like a church, but more like a large castle. The eastern noble lords headed by the Frederick family quickly approached the Ark Church. In order to avoid unrest, Dole strictly ordered all ministries. Control the intersections along the way. In short, the rebellion against the church must not be spread before the church dispute is resolved. The lessons learned a hundred years ago are still in front of us. Dorle does not want to make the same mistake as the Hohenzollern nobles. He coveted the Hohenzollern Plains, but he also knew his priorities. At this time, he would not dismantle Dorle. In order to cooperate with the Dorle mutiny, the Danube nobles also took action. Not only did they quickly send troops to control those. The nobles close to the church also established a long defense line in the southern part of the Principality of Brandenburg. The eastern nobles and the Danube nobles jointly acted with great momentum. Near noon, the church personnel in the Ark Church finally felt something was wrong. They were walking around in the house. At about noon, the cavalry of the Frederick family finally arrived at the Ark Church. Other lords and soldiers also surrounded it from all directions. The Ark Church is such a sacred place. Since Hohenzollern a hundred years ago. After the noble mutiny, no one dared to act wildly around the church. Hundreds of soldiers belonging to the church gathered around as if facing a formidable enemy.Staring at the numerous Holy Cross Cavalry. Dorle snorted in his heart. Fortunately, the Knights of the Holy Cross suffered heavy losses at the time, and the re-established Knights of the Holy Cross did not have too many church elements. Otherwise, they really would not dare to attack the church. "Control the Ark Church. If there is resistance, , Kill without mercy, the private soldiers of the church, kill them all, leaving no one alive. "Now that he has decided to challenge the authority of the church, Doerle will not have any reservations. If he kills the snake, there will be endless troubles. The cavalrymen drew their broadswords and began to sweep across the Ark Church. The soldiers belonging to the church were in a hurry, but how could they withstand it? The sound of killing outside the church was loud, and corpses fell on the bluestone road, dyeing the withered yellow grass clippings red. Many church clergy were stunned. In their minds, no one had ever dared to provoke the church in this way. The eastern noble lords headed by the Frederick family turned the area around the Ark Church into a bloody place. None of the private soldiers affiliated with the church could escape. Even if they knelt down and begged for mercy, they were still stabbed to death on the bluestone road. Dorler's bloody methods killed the church clergy with fear. When all the private soldiers of the church died tragically outside the church, Doerle dismounted from his horse, held a broad sword, and walked into the church with his head held high. When the church personnel saw Doerle, it was as if they saw the devil, and they did not dare to stop him. A Hohenzollern noble wiped the blood on his sword, glanced at the church with cold and ruthless eyes, and smiled sinisterly, "Hey, gather these corpses and clean the battlefield. From now on, no one in the church will If you leave the church even half a step, kill anyone who dares to come out!¡± The killing outside the church was so loud, how could Gregor not know about it, but he did not go out. I have gotten to know Doerle a little bit over the years. Although this man is young, he is resolute and ruthless in his actions. Since he has decided to attack the church, he must be fully prepared. Until now, no nobles have come to the rescue. Gregor couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation in his heart. It seemed that most of the nobles still supported Dorle. In the blink of an eye, the soldiers of the Frederick family rushed into the church and occupied every corner. These people belonged to Dorle's personal guard regiment, and there was absolutely no problem with their loyalty. A hundred years ago, the mutiny of the Hohenzollern nobles failed. A large part of the reason was that the soldiers were bewitched by the church, and too many people defected before the battle. Doerle didn't want the tragedy to happen again, so only his own bodyguards entered the church, and the others might not be reliable. Standing in front of Gregory again, Dorle felt like he was looking down. In the past, he always had to look at the face of the church to act, but now he could finally sweep away the depression in his chest, "Your Majesty the Pope, the sky of the Holy Empire must change its color." That¡¯s enough. The church has gained a lot of benefits from the Holy Empire in recent years. Isn¡¯t it time to be satisfied?¡± Having launched a mutiny, there was no way out, and Gregor didn¡¯t even think about persuading Dorle. Being able to defeat many competitors and become the first person in the church, Gregor's courage is naturally unmatched by ordinary people. "Your Excellency Dorle, do you know what it means to launch troops against the church? Once the people of the empire know what you have done, What will you do? Since you are familiar with historical materials, you should know about the Hohenzollern Mutiny a hundred years ago, right?" Dorle smiled slightly. He learned a lot from the Eastern people. The reason why the church What¡¯s scary is that because people believe in the church, if they want to get rid of the church, the first thing they have to do is destroy the church¡¯s sacred and inviolable image. Gregor was calm and composed, the smile in Doerle's eyes grew stronger and stronger, and gradually Gregor became a little uneasy. Dorle raised his hand and patted it gently, "Haha, His Majesty the Pope is really powerful. Yes, once the people of the empire start making noise, it will never be easy to suppress them. However, the Frederick family is not here to destroy the church. I came here to purify the church. Your Majesty, please hear me clearly. I never said I wanted to destroy the church." Gregor's heart skipped a beat. At this moment, he was really scared. Doerle is too calm. A person who is so calm either has someone to rely on or is a fool. Obviously Doerle is not stupid and is very smart. "Your Majesty Doerle, what do you want to do?" "Your Majesty, Don't worry too much. I just heard that many pastors in the Ark Church kept women in captivity and defiled the church, insulting the holy God. Therefore, I came here to eliminate the church bugs and restore peace to the people of the Holy Empire. I hope your Majesty will escape quickly." Dorle said lightly, as if he was telling an insignificant matter. Gregory's heart sank to the bottom. Why did the people of the Holy Empire and even Rome believe in the church? It was because the church pastor was holy, represented holiness, and was the preacher of God. Once it was no longer holy, how many people would still believe in the church? ? Not everyone can be a preacher of God. Doerle's move was so cruel, it was simply draining the firepower. He was not annihilating the church, but trying to control it. Once the Dorle Mutiny was successful, the church would become a vassal of the nobility and serve the German nobility. A church that has lost its minions is just an ordinary preacher. How can it still compete for profits? At this moment, Gregor felt that Dorle was more terrifying than Lothair. Although Lothair was sophisticated, he did not do things well.Without Doerle's decisiveness, this guy would really kill the church, like a mad dog. Gregor's breathing became heavier. At this time, there were waves of exclamations and curses outside, mixed with the shouts of women. He pushed Dorle away and hurried out of the house, holding on to the railing and looking down. Go, Gregor almost fell down. ¡°A dozen scantily clad women shuttled among the crowd. They put their arms around church pastors and held their hands up and down. The pastors were in such a panic that they could not hide away. Gregor could see that these women were bribed by Dorle. Dorle must have promised them countless benefits to make them put their life and death at risk, "Your Excellency Dorle, you won, you are so "Aren't you worried about the Orientals at all?" "Of course we are, but the facts have proven that the Church is a greater threat to us. Neither the Orientals nor we want the Church to dictate terms. Your Majesty, please. Go back to Rome, God will definitely tell you what to do." Raising his hands, several soldiers rushed up and dragged Gregor down. The moment he left the Ark Church, Gregory shed tears. It took thousands of years for the church to establish a huge power in the Holy Empire. After today, the Holy Empire will no longer be under the rule of the church. Thinking of the efforts of past popes, I am really ashamed to death. The church will become a tool in the hands of the German nobles. From today on, the innocence of the Holy Empire will really change its color.
