The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 178: National response



Because Pope Alexander VI died suddenly, and Julius II was elected as the new pope in a short time. Therefore, what happened in Rome left other European countries unresponsive for a while. After they responded, they had received an invitation letter from the Holy See inviting them to participate in the Pope's throne ceremony.

In fact, no matter who the pope is, most countries and regions do not particularly care. However, the following countries are different, they are-France, Spain, Portugal and Shinra ...

France and Spain care about who the pope is, the reason is simple. Because both countries need the Pope to decide the ownership of the Kingdom of Naples.

Before, France prevailed. Both in terms of military strength and politics, France is dominant. Because, in the last few years, Pope Alexander VI abandoned the motherland of Spain and instead formed an alliance with France.

The reason for this is that France promised to, after taking down the Kingdom of Naples, divide a large area of ​​land to the illegitimate sons of Caesar and Jeffrey of Alexander VI. Therefore, Alexander VI decisively abandoned his motherland, Spain, and mixed with King Louis XII.

Unfortunately, the ownership of the Kingdom of Naples has not yet been finalized, and Alexander VI suddenly hung up, which made the French very depressed.

Speaking of this, the new Pope Julius II was once a firm ally of France. As early as Charles VIII, Julius II, who was Bishop of Rovere at the time, regarded Paris as his home. At that time, Julius II was an ally of France, while Alexander VI was a dead enemy of France, an ally of Spain.

However, after Louis XII came to power, the French themselves gave up the archbishop of Rovere at that time and instead formed an alliance with Alexander VI. As a result, Archbishop Rovere, who was originally closely related to France, became hostile to the French, and was almost tied to Rome.

In this way, because Louis XII came to power, the allies of the two great powers changed. However, Archbishop Rovere did not turn to Spain. It's just that his relationship with France is no better.

The French are actually very depressed. If they receive news early, they can send troops to demonstrate in Rome. Before the new pope was elected, he threatened the Roman Cardinals to choose a pope close to France. After all, although the French army was defeated by the Spanish army, it is still guarding the northern frontier of the Kingdom of Naples, very close to Rome.

Unfortunately, it is late. The new pope has been chosen and announced to the world. Even the French are afraid to kill the new pope. Unless, it wants to be beaten by groups all over Europe. What's more, trusting Pope Julius II brought 7,000 soldiers and horses, enough to defend the city.

Compared to the depression of the French, the Spaniards were more happy than worried about the selection of Julius II.

The Spaniards are glad that Julius II was hard to come with Louis XII due to the change of allies. In this way, Julius II may be more partial to Spain in determining the ownership of the Kingdom of Naples.

The Spanish worried about the question of whether the new Pope recognized the Treaty of Todes Silas and the permission to allow Spain to trade in India when Alexander VI supported Spain in the early days.

If according to the original historical development, Julius II must have renewed the legitimacy of the Treaty of Todes Silas. Because, in the original history, Spain did not blend into the real trade of India. And Portugal, also made a fortune in muffled. Therefore, in the original history, the two teeth had no objections to the Treaty of Todd Silas.

However, because of the crossing of Marin, things have changed dramatically. Spain has not found gold and silver in the Americas, but was seduce by Marin to the real India, and began to grab business with the Portuguese.

Then, the question is coming, the Portuguese naturally hope that the Treaty of Todes Silas will continue to take effect, but the Spanish have changed. Because of the huge profits of India's spice trade, the twin kings of Spain are so excited that they cannot breathe. Therefore, the Spaniards were dissatisfied with the Treaty of Todes Silas ...

Because of the rich America, Malin, a foolish fellow, deliberately called it a "wild continent", and there was also a syphilis incident, which made the Spaniards somewhat interested in America.

On the contrary, the huge profits brought by the Indian route are real. Therefore, for now, whether it is Portugal or Spain, they hope to dominate the Indian trade routes, and squeeze the other party onto the "barren continent."

Therefore, Spain will no longer insist on the Treaty of Todes Silas, but Portugal will insist on unilaterally. Sooner or later, these two countries will fight for this.

If it had been before, Julius II might choose this option and try to reconcile the contradictions between the two countries. However, before leaving East Friesland and returning to Italy, Marin found Julius II and had a close conversation with him.

After this close talk, Julius II already knows ...

According to Marin's suggestion, Julius II will not rush to a conclusion. However, in the interest of the Indian route, it will choose to favor Spain.

However, Spain can't take advantage of it. At the cost of obtaining India ’s trade qualifications, at least half of the interests of the American continent must be ceded. As to whom this benefit is given? Do you still need to ask? It must be for Marin ...

As for the grandson of Portugal, it is natural for Spain to clean up. Portugal is indeed tyrannical at sea, but Marin once gave the Spanish kings a bad idea to go abroad-in the event of a conflict in West Portugal, do n’t ignore the provocation of the Portuguese at sea and organize tens of thousands of troops directly on land to surround Lisbon ...

I ca n’t beat you at sea, but I can kill you on land ...

Therefore, in the end, Portugal must have suffered. And when the time comes, Marin just hides behind and picks up the cheap ...

As for the last big man concerned about the change of the Pope, Emperor Maximilian I of the Holy Roman Empire. As for why care? It is because he, Emperor Shinra, has not yet been crowned in Rome ...

Therefore, Maximilian I especially hopes that the new pope is on his side. In this way, it is also easy for the pope to crown him.

Before, although I bought the throne of the Eastern Roman Empire from Andrés Pariologos. However, that is just a false title, and has no practical significance. Because Maximilian I did not get any territory of the Eastern Roman Empire. Moreover, the territory is basically occupied by the powerful Turkey, and it is extremely difficult to get it back.

So, by contrast, it is still the throne of Shenra ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ is more realistic. At least, after the coronation, it became more justified.

In this case, Maximilian I did not care who the Pope was and what his political stance was. It would be strange ...

What makes Maximilian I happy is that although Julius II may not be close to himself, he certainly is not close to Louis XII of France. As long as it is not an ally of the French, it is easy to handle, and there is great hope for its own coronation.

However, what Maximilian I did not know is that his trusted general Ma Lin quietly proposed with his father-in-law-Do n’t let Maximilian I be crowned easily, at least, let the emperor help himself Only after getting a few territories and supporting yourself politically, can you be crowned as you wish ...

If Maximilian I knew that Marin was a stumbling block to crown his throne, it would be anxious to immediately raise a knife to Aurich to chop Marin into eight ...
