The Rise of the European Emperor - Chapter 2187

Remember [New] for a second,! After listening to Frederick III’s ideas, “Calvin” objected:

“Lord Elector, although not confronting His Majesty the Pope directly will avoid direct risks, but the idea of ​​tithing is probably more dangerous, right? Although the Pope will acquiesce in doing so, because it is beneficial to him. But , which is equivalent to moving the cheese of the local church, and Martin is afraid that they will murder him.”

James Bond’s mission was to **** Martin Luther until he completed the Reformation. If you offend the Pope, you may be excommunicated and you will be wanted. However, that is public. It is not a matter of life and death, and the Pope will not risk his reputation by sending someone to assassinate him. But offending the local church is different. Martin Luther was in the local church, and he was easily assassinated by the local priest who held a grudge. And as a clergyman, Martin Luther had to deal with other priests…

Frederick III thought carefully and said:

“But I was negligent, ignoring the threats of the local priests. Well, the idea of ​​​​dividing tithes, don’t write it on the theses, and Martin don’t publicly promote this idea…”

“It was clearly proposed by Senior Brother Calvin…” Martin Luther grumbled, he didn’t want to take credit.

James Bond waved his hands again and again, joking, this kind of courting death, this big agent will not take the initiative to claim it, or Martin, you should take the blame…

Frederick III also agreed to let Martin Luther take the blame… No, he took the credit. why? The credit is concentrated on one person, and the halo is bigger. If it is divided into two people, neither of them will reach that level. Two big stars are not as influential as one king.

Frederick III was also an old yin coin. He didn’t want to stand out on his own, so he pushed Martin Luther, a hot-blooded young man, as a benchmark. As a benchmark, of course, the bigger the reputation, the better, in order to attract enough attention and pick yourself out. Therefore, any kind of halo has to be put on Martin Luther’s head, and it is more tasteless to the less famous “Professor Calvin”.

With the persuasion of two other scheming people, Martin Luther reluctantly agreed to take the blame…

But Frederick III was more kind. He did not ask Martin Luther to publicly preach about the three-cent tithing, but let him preach it secretly. Moreover, the selection of objects is mainly for those secular nobles with poor finances. Then, in front of the members of the church, never mention it, so as not to be cut off…

The nobles, especially the nobles with poor economic conditions, are envious of the tithe, which is not a stable tax for one or two days. Martin Luther put forward this point of view, absolutely to their taste. Especially the Duke of Württemberg, Ulrich, who owes millions of gold coins, must be in favor of participating in the sharing of tithes…

Specifically, it was to let the “hot-blooded (so flimsy) youth” Martin Luther come forward to put up posters and question the effect of indulgences. Then, send someone to arrest those tycoons who can afford to buy indulgences. Moreover, the public trial must be stinky.

As for which law enforcement officer to send to perform the task, James Bond recommended a young judge in Wittenberg, Umot. Judge Umot was born in a baronial family in the countryside below a small city called Plauen in the southern electorate of Saxony, but he was not the eldest son and had no right of inheritance. In addition, he is also one of the spies lurking in the electorate of Saxony in the North Sea.

As for why the son of a baron from the electorate of Saxony would become a spy for the North Sea, it’s a long story. To put it simply, Umot was poor at the beginning, and he happened to wander to Beihai Kingdom. Kohler’s men discovered his background in the electoral country of Saxony, and then he was pulled into the intelligence agency. After all, the Electorate of Saxony is the vassal state that Marin focuses on, and it is best to have more people.

As for why the son of a baron in Umot is so poor? It’s not that his family is poor, but that his relationship with his eldest brother is very bad. After his father’s death, his eldest brother did not give him land or much property, but according to tradition, gave him Umot a warhorse, a set of plate armor and a lance, and drove him out of the house. Of course, it was also assigned a squire and a mule. After all, the wandering knight can’t wear plate armor at all times, so tired, he has to let the squires put the plate armor on the back of the mule. Before the battle, the knight put on his plate armor with the help of his squires, supported the horse, and handed the lance. At the same time, Umot’s eldest brother also seems to have given a lot of money kindly.

But the problem is that there is something wrong with the attendant assigned to him by his eldest brother…

What’s the problem? This attendant is a habitual thief, and he has no family anymore. How can such a carefree thief be loyal? In a small town near the territory of Beihai Kingdom, the habitual servant finally couldn’t help stealing Umot’s property and ran away.

As for why don’t the horses and plate armor go along? The habitual thief is not a knight, and his status is humble, and he will be suspected of having a war horse and plate armor. If he is found to be betraying his master, the nobles from other places will kill him as an example.

Therefore, the habitual thief servant just took the property and ran away on his mule.

And Umot was miserable. Without his belongings, he couldn’t even pay for the hotel. So, he had to sell the plate armor to fill the gap. But the problem is that he doesn’t understand the sinister society, and he was severely undercut by others, and he didn’t sell for much money. And his war horse needs to eat a lot of food every day…

By the time Umot wandered into the North Sea Kingdom, Umot’s money was almost spent. When you go to a hotel and stay in a hotel, you only dare to crowd the Datongpu with the lower class people. That is, in the Datongpu of the country hotel, Umot was targeted by the Beihai spy who also pretended to be a tourist, and his information was obtained.

Subsequently, Umot was recruited by Kohler’s men. No way, Umot was running out of money at that time, and Kohler’s men gave too much…

As a result, Umot entered the North Sea State Intelligence Agency for more than two years of secret training. After the training, before returning to the electorate of Saxony, Kohler arranged for him to go to the law department of the University of Cologne to study for two years, and obtained the university diploma for gold plating.

Of course, it’s not that Umot is talented and smart enough to complete his studies in two years. Instead, the Beihai State intelligence department spent money, and the professor at the University of Cologne raised his hand and let him finish his studies ahead of schedule.

With a college diploma, Umot was originally a son of a poor nobleman, and his worth was immediately different. He did not return to Plauen to settle accounts with his eldest brother who had calculated him at the beginning. Instead, he followed the arrangement and went to Wittenberg, the capital of the electorate of Saxony, to find a public office similar to a district judge. Of course, it was paid for. After all, European **** is public these days. Until the late 18th century, the famous Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley, was also a paid officer when he first entered the army. When he first joined the army, he was a lieutenant. Later, he also donated major and lieutenant colonels, starting at the regimental battalion level.

Of course, the premise is that you must be a nobleman. Otherwise, if you are a commoner, rich people will not sell you. UU reading www.uukanshu. The reason why com Umot was spotted by the Beihai State Intelligence Service was because he was a son of the nobles of the electorate of Saxony. With this status, it is easy to donate officials in the electoral country of Saxony. After his donation, Umot became a young junior judge in Wittenberg.

Originally, Umot may be promoted slowly step by step. But seeing a good opportunity, James Bond couldn’t help but recommend Umot as his own person.

The reason for doing this is not only to help one’s own people get promoted quickly, so that they can rise to a high position and gain access to more secrets, but also because the spies of Beihai Kingdom are more suitable for such tasks. Because it is impossible to rely on ordinary judges in this era to know the illegal information of the big households who bought indulgences as quickly as possible. And Beihai’s spies, educated in modern intelligence collection, are much better than the native judges of this era.

The result was not beyond James Bond’s expectations. After Judge Umot received the task, with the help of other North Sea country spies, the investigation of the criminal information of the big purchasers of indulgences was very fast. Judges from other parts of Saxony, who were tasked with Umot at the same time, were much slower. After all, other indigenous judges have not received modern intelligence gathering skills, nor the help of spies, so the efficiency is naturally much slower.

In this way, Umot, a seemingly ordinary North Sea spy, quickly entered the field of vision of Frederick III, the elector of Saxony, through this incident. In the future, it will naturally take off…
