The Eagle of Eastern Europe

Chapter 498 General trend

Portraits of princesses from all over the world were sent to the palace in Constantinople. Alexander looked at these people and was really uninterested. He didn't want to get married yet.

"No, no, throw it all away. Whatever you want is to be my wife. Since you want the empire to be their ally, why don't you just surrender?"

Children's words are usually straightforward. For these countries that want to marry, they are just coveting the power of the Roman Empire and want to find a backer. Since they want Rome as a backer, they can just surrender directly. Why do they want to marry?

He had heard before that the Stuart royal family had rejected the marriage request, which made his grandfather angry, and he had no good impression of these countries. What kind of virtue dares to reject the great Roman Empire.

Recently, because of the recovery of Jerusalem, Alexander also took a few days off. He also chatted and competed with his new playmates, and their relationship was extremely good.

Lajos and Alexander discussed the various customs of Hungary and Rome with each other. Alexander expressed sadness for what happened to Lajos, and then said that he would definitely let him take revenge.

Lajosh thanked Alexander, but he still wanted to take revenge on his own. These people were too arrogant.

"Will you help me in the future?"

"Of course, we are best friends and I will definitely help you."

Alexander and Lajosh attended classes together, played together, and looked at the big map in a daze together. They knew that the Roman emperor went to the west, saying that he was recovering lost territory. Looking back at the ancient Roman era thousands of years ago, the territory of the Roman Empire from Britain to Asia and the entire Mediterranean belonged to them. This allowed them to broaden their horizons again. If they could restore this territory, then no one in the world would be their opponent. .

Not only the prince, but also the ministers and the masses felt that this was the closest to regaining the lost territory after the Justinian Dynasty. Egypt would come back, and then the Apennines, Gaul, Iberia, and Carthage. These will all come back.

——————————

After Bavaria withdrew from the war, Rome once again faced the choice of whether to go to Stuttgart to annihilate the main force, or to go to Vienna to open the eastern passage.

Peter decided to go west to Stuttgart to annihilate the main enemy force. But the other party had already expected it and led the army directly to Mainz. Originally, he was planning to continue to accumulate strength, but there was another religious problem, and the Catholic Church burned Hus.

Originally, the church had forced three popes to abdicate, and it was also preparing to impose the death penalty on Hus, but it was inappropriate now, so Sigismund asked for a moratorium on the death penalty. As a result, the people in the church were all stubborn and refused to do so. After trial, he was sentenced to death at the stake, citing the need for pure faith.

Is it funny if you tell me about pure faith at this time? Huss was the leader of the religious reform. If you kill him, wouldn't it mean that the people of Bohemia will become enemies of him? Can you use your brains? You are also from aristocratic backgrounds. Don't you even think of this?

Hus's missionary work in Bohemia has intensified in recent years. He not only translated the Bible into local languages, but also opened fire on the Catholic Church, and all church personnel were attacked by him. The local church is too corrupt, and with Wenzel's help, the grassroots of Bohemia will be out of their control.

It would be good to capture Huss, but to kill him would be to be expelled from the Bohemian masses. Although the Crusaders can be summoned, it is not suitable to open another front at present. It is already in danger, and we must not continue to walk into the trap. Hus must not be lost.

But Sigismund had no intention of ordering the church, because Peter would soon arrive at Mainz, and Stuttgart would directly open the city and surrender. The Swiss army joined the Roman army and swore allegiance to the Roman emperor.

The leaders of the Swiss Confederation came to Peter to express their allegiance. They recognized Rome's suzerainty, paid a sum of money every year, and sent troops to assist in wars. At the same time, Switzerland can purchase Roman grain and salt at preferential prices, and the two sides send ambassadors to each other to increase relations.

The Swiss Confederation was recognized by the emperor, and then launched an attack with the Roman army against the anti-Roman alliance. At the same time, the Swiss Confederation's joining the Roman camp further cut off the connection between Milan and the anti-Romanian alliance. They could only rely on France to get in touch with Sigismund. At the same time, the troops in the Iberian region have not yet set off, and I don’t know what they are doing?

In fact, Iberia's so-called 50,000-strong army is actually not much left. Most of those noble children saw the failure of the naval battle and did not want to walk back. Others headed south to Granada, preparing to gain land by conquering the pagans.

This gave the Roman navy the opportunity to begin harassing and plundering Mallorca, and at the same time annihilating pirates in the southern Tunisian region. It also served as a deterrent to the Hafs dynasty that ruled Tunisia.

----Dividing line----

In Moscow, after Yuri succeeded to the throne and saw that Mihai was still late, he directly declared him a traitor and asked all vassals to concentrate their forces to eliminate him. But in fact, very few Boyars took action. Who asked Mihai to give a lot?

Controlling Novgrod and Finland, Mihai used the port to transport things produced by the boyar estates in the interior to the port for sale. They also purchased items from Novgrod to decorate their homes.

Since Novgrod relied on grain imports from outside, some boyars were cut off from grain transportation and the other side was unscathed because the Hanseatic League took on this task. The original blocking policy is invalid.

Seeing that the other three brothers were making achievements on the battlefield, he could not lag behind. He directly summoned soldiers to attack Moscow south, claiming that Grand Duke Vasily of Moscow was assassinated by his brother Yuri, and he wanted to seek justice for the Grand Duke.

The Patriarch of Moscow is in trouble. He originally wanted to let the two sit down and negotiate, but it seems that it has broken down so far, and he can only choose sides.

Originally, this was an internal matter within Moscow, but I didn't expect that Lithuania was about to make a move, and Vytautas was preparing to head east. Could it be that he wanted to make up for the lost territory in the south from the east?

Vytautas really didn't have this idea. His idea was to restore the territory he previously ruled. The whole of Ukraine must be under his rule.

After much persuasion, the parliament gave 6,000 soldiers, but the funds could only be used for two months. Time was tight and they immediately set off east to attack Smolensk.

Wladyslaw also relied on his eloquence to get the Sejm to send troops, a total of 10,000 people. While Peter was in the HRE, he went south to attack the Roman mainland, forcing the opponent to return to defense to rescue the HRE.

The Teutonic Knights also wanted to send troops, but they had just been beaten and had not recovered yet, so they could only wave the flag and shout from behind.
