In a noble manor in Spain, many Spanish nobles gathered to discuss the overthrow of Charles V.
"He is simply the most greedy person in history. He wants to confiscate the territory that we have inherited from generation to generation. I will never agree!"
Duke Alfonso said angrily.
"I will never allow such a thing to happen. Now he is forcing us to do this."
Duke Santos also said firmly.
Originally, everyone actually supported Charles V, because Charles V¡¯s policies had always been in the interests of the great nobles.
Charles V supported Spain's import of goods and export of raw materials, which was naturally the best for the nobility, because the nobility often had huge territories and could live a comfortable life relying on the output of the territory without any hard work. It's hard to develop some handicraft industry or the like.
The policies of Charles V were beneficial to them, so they also supported Charles V. When Charles V first came to the throne, everyone contributed a lot.
However, now, Charles V has proposed a new reform plan, following the example of the Ming Empire in carrying out many reforms, including implementing a provincial system, abolishing the existing state system, and dividing all states into provinces, governed by the king. Appoint officials directly to manage.
Abolition of the nobility¡¯s taxing and military conscription powers, and the transfer of these two powers to the king, who directly appointed tax officials to collect taxes in various places.
This is undoubtedly the heaviest blow to them, the great nobles, and it seriously offends their interests. Naturally, they will not agree or agree.
"I think it's time for us to elect a new king, one who respects all our nobles."
Duke Felipe also said firmly.
In Europe, the power of lords and nobles is very strong, while the power of the king is very weak. This has always been a tradition and is also one of the cultural characteristics of Europe.
Princes and young masters travel almost everywhere here, mainly because the city-states in Europe have fallen into obscurity, and even a bigger place can become a country.
Now Charles V actually wants to imitate the Ming Empire and establish a unified and centralized empire. This is seriously not in the interest of these great nobles.
"Brand, this fool, what benefits can he gain by following Charles V?"
¡°Don¡¯t you know that once Charles V succeeds, all his family¡¯s ancestral land will be confiscated?¡±
Alfonso looked at the nobles around him. Some nobles did not come to the party. They had obviously taken refuge with Charles V.
"He is the scum among the nobles."
Santos directly identified Duke Brand.
"Well, it doesn't make any sense to say this. What we have to do now is to gather forces to attack Charles V and overthrow his brutal rule."
Duke Felipe thought for a while and said.
"Hmm~"
"We return to our respective territories, gather the knights, and recruit soldiers. It won't take long, and we will soon be able to completely defeat Charles V."
"The main reason why Charles V dared to rob our land was because he had 50,000 Royal Guards in his hands. I heard that he also secretly trained a Royal Army of 50,000 people."
"If we want to defeat Charles V, we must at least arm an army of more than 100,000 people."
"I have a good relationship with the Governor of Hong Kong. As long as I have money, I can buy enough arms and weapons from the Governor of Hong Kong."
"The quality of Ming Dynasty's arms and weapons is very good, but the price is really very expensive. Where did Charles V get the money to train the new royal army?"
¡°I don¡¯t know where his money came from, maybe he borrowed it from someone in the Ming Dynasty.¡±
""
Many great nobles were constantly discussing and discussing the matter of gathering troops to overthrow the rule of Charles V.
However, Charles V had already been prepared.
Charles V has been preparing for this since the end of last year. He first assigned his confidants to important positions in the Spanish army, and instantly took charge of Spain's navy and army.
Then, with the money earned from reselling penicillin during the epidemic, he secretly formed the Royal Army and purchased a large number of arms and weapons from the Ming Empire.
With the army in hand, Charles V was very confident, and he had made careful deployment and planning for this.
When Charles V officially announced the abolition of the state system and implemented theTo search, when doing this, Alfred made full use of what he had learned in the Ming Empire. He copied the Ming people's method of confiscating families and exterminating clans, and confiscated the underwear of the three Dukes.
"Fifty million taels of silver?"
When Charles V heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows.
With this money, he can continue to form a more powerful army. Many princes and nobles in the Holy Roman Empire have united to announce that they have abolished their position as emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. They are now electing The new emperor.
This is absolutely unacceptable to Charles V. If he wants to unify Europe, the first thing he must do is to unify Spain and the Holy Roman Empire. Only after integrating the power of these two countries can he unify the entire Europe. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
