There are too many Teutonic knights in the Saxony and Franconia-Swabian alliances. Together, they have 410 seats, accounting for half of the total number of Teutonic knights with voting rights.
Moreover, Marin did not dare to guarantee that some of the other neutral knights would be pulled over. To this end, Marin is considering not only ensuring his own votes, but also destroying and reducing the other's votes ...
The election of the Chief of the Teutonic Order this time has attracted many people. In addition to the two seed players, Prince Frederick and Prince Philip, there are actually other qualified knights or princes from other regions to participate in the election.
(Note: The prince here is not only the son of the king, but the sons of the princes. All kings, dukes, marquises, and counts who own the self-governing territory, their sons, can be called princes. Of course, for lords below the count, the son cannot Called the prince. Because, the level is not enough ...)
In this era, many noble families like to choose a son as a monk if they have more sons or daughters, or a daughter as a nun.
For example, King Edward IV of England had a youngest daughter, Bridget of York, who was a nun. There are also some kings, dukes, and counts. When there are enough sons, they will arrange a son to develop in the religious world to fight for a bishop or something.
Because, in this era, the influence of the Holy See was very large. If there is a well-known church in the family, it can bring huge help to the family.
Moreover, although the bishops of the bishops and archbishops need the appointment of the Holy See, they are all from those noble families.
For example, the electors of the three major religions of the Holy Roman Empire-Archbishop of Mainz, Archbishop of Trier, and Archbishop of Cologne-all came from those vassal families.
Archbishop of Mainz, Berthold von Henneberg, is from the Henneberg country and his father is Earl Henneberg; Archbishop John II of Trier is from Baden. His father was Jacob Earl of Baden Frontier; Archbishop Herman IV of Cologne came from Hessen and was the son of Earl of Hessen Louis I ...
Of course, so many sons of the princes became archbishops, provided that those princes were willing to make their sons monks. Therefore, unless the son-in-law's difficult family, those princes, choose a son to become a monk, in fact, is still very common.
Moreover, choosing a son to become a monk does not require territory. Therefore, there can be fewer disputes when dividing up the heritage ...
Most of these princes who became monks will be arranged by the family to bribe the Holy See and arrange to be bishops in their own territories. For example, Prince Philip was originally going to arrange for his second brother, Verber, to be Archbishop of Verneuil.
But there is also some restlessness. For example, Prince Frederick heard that the former chief of the Teutonic Knights was farting, and there was no suitable candidate in the Teutonic Knights. So he rushed to the election. Moreover, he was supported by the Duke of Saxony.
After all, the Teutonic Order is a very powerful country. If it is not for its opponent Poland-Lithuanian alliance, it is too powerful. As the leader of this powerful country, don't be too comfortable.
Even if the enemy is on the side, as the chief of the Teutonic Knights, he is very respectable. Moreover, there are also lizi. Because, as long as the Teutonic leader, you can become the third largest business circle of the Hanseatic League-Prussia and Livonia business circles.
As the head of the group, you and your family can get enough benefits in the third largest business district of the Hanseatic League. That's no problem ...
Therefore, there are actually many noble children who want to be the heads of the Teutonic University.
In addition to the two seed players of Prince Frederick and Prince Philip, there are still some children of the noble monks who came to the election.
However, after Prince Frederick and Prince Philip began to exert their strength, many people felt despair. Because, compared with these two rich seed players, they have no chance.
As a result, some of the noble monks from remote areas or the noble monks who came out of the little vassal states have withdrawn from the election in an attempt to see it lively.
But Marin didn't intend to let them go, and he was going to pick out a puppet to add a block to Prince Frederick ...
After picking from left to right, Marin chose an Austrian noble monk named William. This guy named William is not too young. His father, a side branch of the Austrian Habsburgs, was an empire-less court of the Habsburgs, as did the Count Albresit, who had previously served in Italy. Of course, the last time Count Albrecht had been exposed to Marin because of the light from Marin, he had lived a more moisturized life. William's father, Earl Albert, although he was also an earl, had the title of earl alone, and had no corresponding territory. He was a standard poor earl.
Therefore, William heard that the chief of the Teutonic Knights had died, and he did not have a suitable successor, and rushed to Königsberg to try his luck.
However, when he saw Prince Frederick and Prince Philip throwing money and writing short checks, he gave up running. Because, as the son of a poor landless earl, William was also very poor. His brothers have no money to waste, let alone him.
However, after learning about his identity, Marin was overjoyed ...
First of all, William is a member of the Habsburg family. Although he is only a side line, he also counts as noble. The Habsburgs may have little influence on other princes. For example, neither the Frankenian knights nor the Westphalian-Rhineland knights have a cold against the Habsburgs.
However, the knights of the Swabian series cannot but give face. Because the Swabian aristocrats are now the emperor's most **** alliance. These Teutonic knights from the aristocratic families of the Swabian region must not fail to give the Habsburgs face.
At the same time, the Saxons' knights also want to give the Habsburgs a little face. Because the Saxony is a noble, and now has a good relationship with the Habsburgs. Of course, between Prince Frederick, a Saxony immediate prince and William, a Habsburg family prince, those knights of Saxony would decisively choose Prince Frederick. Not to mention that William is only a sideline of the Habsburgs. Even if it is a direct line, the Saxon Cavaliers cannot compare with his own prince.
Therefore, it was completely impossible for Marin to use William to draw votes with the Saxon Cavaliers. As for the Frankenian Cavaliers, the possibility is relatively small, but it can also pull a few votes. The Swabian Cavaliers can do something ...
Marin took the initiative to contact William, the poor ghost prince, and when Marin asked Prince William to run for the post of chief, William refused. Because he had no confidence at all.
However, Marin tried out a handful of gold coins and saw the desire in Prince William's eyes. So Marin has a bottom in mind ...
After promising 5,000 gold coins for the promise and recommending him to hold an important position with Prince Philip, Prince William knelt decisively ...
Even, Marin paid him a deposit of 500 gold coins, which made Prince William very happy ...
In this regard, Marin is also relieved ...
Later, Marin asked a few capable men from Prince Philip to help Prince William support the scene. Then Marin asked Prince William to secretly invite those Swabian and Frankenian knights to present a bribe of gold coins ...
And in order to be more convincing, Marin, a "professional" with modern counterfeiting technology, forged a royal document based on the identity document issued by the emperor and signed by the emperor, explaining that Habs The Fort family gave William their support and asked the knights of the Swabian Department to support him a lot ...
William didn't dare to use the file at first, but Marin told him, who can prove that you have used this fake file as long as you don't leave a copy to those knights?
Moreover, as long as Prince Philip succeeded in the position of chief commander, William was bound to be reused. At this point, Prince Philip also promised in person.
As for the emperor's blame afterwards? This may be there. After all, the Duke of Saxony was an ally of the emperor. But what about that? William was originally a member of the Habsburgs. Moreover, this time it was William's personal actions that the emperor could not blame his father and brother.
As long as things are done, William doesn't have to go back, and doesn't have to worry about being punished. Even if things fail, Marin promises not to give away those 5000 gold coins. Therefore, William can also do well.
After believing ~ www.novelhall.com ~ William officially accepted Marin's employment, began to hold fake emperor documents, and the gold coin bag provided by Marin, began to quietly attack those Swabian knights and Frankenia. knight……
And for the sake of confidentiality, William quietly invited those knights in private, and, only a few people at a time, very hidden ...
Not only that, Marin made William go crazy. Promise to those Swabian and Frankenian knights, as long as they become the head of the regiment, they will support them to become the head of the division or to hold other important positions, and take full power ...
Such a promise may not be attractive to those Teutonic knights who mix well. However, for those Teutonic knights who are poorly mixed, it is very attractive. However, these poor knights have the same voting rights as those good knights ...
As for open cheques? This is not a problem at all. Because, William is destined to be unable to be elected to the Grand Commander. If they don't, those promises don't need to be fulfilled. Therefore, even if you make a random commitment, you don't worry about what goes wrong.
The proud Saxon prince Frederick did not know that the Teutonic Knights of his ally Frankenia-Swabian League had been dumbfounded with a **** ...
