Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 5 Chapter 47: Balkan spoiler

The originally easy hunting was interrupted by the news brought by the soldier.

The nobles got together to discuss, and they kept asking questions around the soldier, and then passed on the report he had brought.

Sophia felt a little bored. She gestured for the servants to clean up the elk she had beaten, but when she wanted to send someone to invite the Queen and Cepes, she heard that none of them were available.

The hunting was obviously no longer possible. After a short discussion, Zeppes suggested that everyone return to the city as soon as possible, and after the nobles were summoned, the king would convene a meeting to discuss things about Zagreb.

On the way back to the city, Cepes had been thinking about the news brought by the cavalry.

What happened in Zagreb was too unexpected, or that made many people feel a little weird.

Zepez, the Viscount of Helva, knows that although he is not very familiar with that person, because of the Marquis of Roy ?, he knows a little bit about what happened in Zagreb.

Although there is no evidence to date that the murder of the Duke of Sighnaci in Zagreb was related to the Marquis de Roy ?, anyone who knows a little bit of the truth can't help thinking that.

Ever since the Ottomans perished in the Kingdom of Bosnia, the troubles over the Bosnian throne caused by the royal heirs never stopped.

If, in addition to the original branch of the Bosnian royal family, the most likely to compete for the throne of the king is Roy? And the Duke of Signac, the largest noble of Croatia.

It was just that at the instigation of Sistine IV, the Duke of Sighnaci suddenly changed his religion to the Catholic Church, which made things a lot more complicated.

There have been all kinds of legends about why the Duke of Sighnaci suddenly converted. Some people say that he was inspired by God, but more people are more willing to believe that he was bought by Sistine IV. And promise.

Rumors that the Vatican would support the Duke of Signac to become the King of Bosnia were not uncommon in those years, and the Croats themselves have publicly announced that they will receive the support and assistance of the Vatican.

It was in that environment that the orthodox nobles colluded secretly, and they clearly believed that if the perverts were allowed to develop, there might be changes that made them unimaginable.

Obviously for those people, the Ottoman invasion was nothing compared to the conversion of the Duke of Sighnaci.

The nobles' murder of the Duke of Sighnaci was simple, and their success was not difficult at all. Those who summoned a group of desperate men suddenly attacked the Duke team who was bringing a group of cronies to the summer farms in the suburbs. In the face of the Duke and his party who had no preparation at all, these people killed them almost without much effort.

As for where these nobles came from, and why the murderers then easily escaped the border, and then went deep into the territory of Roy? Marquis, although these were questioned by many people at the time, they eventually It's impossible.

Although there are many people who have benefited from the death of the Duke of Sighnaci, but if you think about it, you can find that as the Duke ’s biggest competitor, the Marquis de Roy? Is obviously one of the biggest beneficiaries.

Reminiscing that the murderers could escape to the Marquis territory so easily and then disappear from there, the suspicion of the Duke was naturally greater.

Zepes is not interested in the change of power in Zagreb, but he is very clear about the importance of the city of Zagreb.

In Zeppes ’s impression, the northern end of the Balkan Mountains, which stretches near Zagreb and Yota, is a natural barrier in front of Bucharest. Unless the Ottomans give up attacking Bucharest, they must enter Caniola. The southern part of the Principality then turned east through Zagreb before being able to reach Bucharest.

And Roy? Marquis, who also knew this, had previously sent a monk's messenger to him. One of the conditions that Roy? Proposed to Cepes was that he would be able to lend a helping hand to him after the Ottomans arrived.

The Marquis de Roy had fought under the leadership of Vlad Zepes, the father of Zepes. In the repeated engagements with the Ottomans, the marquis showed extraordinary courage and superb combat skills. The large amount of loot seized can be seen.

Because of this, although Cepes did not want to be involved in the fight for the Bosnian King, he was willing to cooperate with the Duke of Roy?

At least this man is incomparable to others in the experience of fighting the Ottomans.

But now the sudden change makes Cepes a little caught off guard.

The letter from Hurva brought by the young knight named Moorko in the past is more hope for the support of the Bucharest Patriarch and the nobles.

This seems a little funny, but a clergyman wants to get the support of the Orthodox Patriarch, but in fact this is not surprising.

The Duke of Zagreb has been suspended for a long time, which has caused many people to covet, but also because there has never been a duke, Zagreb will become much weaker in the future against the Ottomans, just like the North Because Bosnia has been a king, it has become a desert, which is not a good thing for Europeans in the Balkans.

Because of this, when he heard that Moorko was the messenger sent by Hurva, Cepes did not try to stop the young man because of his relationship with Roy ?, and Zepes believed that in this matter, whether it was The Patriarch of Bucharest or Ladislas II of Bohemia will not see the importance of this.

It was only until that time that Zepes still did n’t believe that the Viscount could recapture Zagreb, but no one could think that things had changed so much in the past few days, which made Zepes unknown for a moment. How to deal with it.

Zepes knew that what happened in Zagreb must have surprised Ladislas II, but he didn't know how the Bohemian king would deal with it.

When he thought that Ladislas II was also the King of Hungary, he felt that the King must have more headaches than himself.

Zeppes guessed right. At this time, Ladislas II was indeed having a headache for Zagreb.

As the king of the two kingdoms, Ladislas II is arguably one of the most powerful people in Central Europe.

Although the turbulence with Emperor Maximian of the Holy Roman Empire has always made him feel entangled, Ladislas II still relies on the powerful Bohemian army to deter most of Europe.

Probably because of the Hussian War and the series of large and small wars that had been with the Ottomans, the Bohemian army has a different style from Western European countries.

This army, formed by the bravery of the Eastern European army and the rigor of the Western European army, has so far maintained the remnants of the Black Army that had once shocked the European continent.

But despite this, everyone knows that this is actually Yu Wei. In the face of the terrible Ottomans, no single country can compete with that terrible army.

Because of this, Ladislas II needed help urgently.

Roy? Is a very good collaborator, or he may become the King of Bosnia, compared to him, the Viscount of Helva is just a desolate exile, so when he first met the Herald of Luva Wah? Although not showing rejection, the kind of indifference is obvious.

Suddenly, Hurva, who hadn't been optimistic before, actually did such an unexpectedly big event.

Faced with this sudden news, Ladislas II was a little ignorant.

The reason Ladislas II did this was because he had just met a businessman from the Vatican just a few days ago.

From that businessman, Ladislas II learned something he didn't know yet, and this news was very important to him.

In the Vatican, there is a rumor that the Fugger family is trying to buy Hungarian copper mines from Emperor Maximian.

After hearing the rumor, Ladislas II almost suffocated with anger.

All along, Maximian has been fighting with Ladislas II for the throne of Hungary. On several occasions, Ladislas II had to express concessions in front of the emperor, even because of the various crises facing him. Silas II did not wait to be forced to agree that in his absence, Maximian could gain the throne of Hungary.

But such promises and concessions do not seem to satisfy Maximian, or that the emperor of the empire was a little too anxious. Even when the promise was only a "hypothesis", he could not wait to try to exercise his power. .

Regarding the copper mines in Hungary, Ladislas II was very clear about its value. As an expensive copper ware and as a necessary material for casting artillery, the Hungarian copper mine is an important source of wealth for this king.

Now Maximian actually discusses the mining rights of the copper mine in private with Fugel, which is absolutely intolerable for Ladislas II.

But what happened to the copper mine made the king angry. More importantly, he noticed that Maximian tried to take advantage of his war with the Ottomans and was distracted. It seemed that he was about to take the opportunity to intervene in Hungary.

No one king can allow this kind of thing. If the copper mine touched the painful foot of Ladislas II, then Maximian tried to take the opportunity to intervene in the affairs of Hungary. It was not unbearable, but painful. .

It was just that the emperor was a bit too powerful for Ladislas II, and now he is devoting all his energy to how to resist the Ottomans. He has no extra strength to contend with the emperor.

It was at this time that news of Zagreb came.

Herva's unexpected move to win Zagreb shocked Bucharest, but it was another thing that made Ladislas II more concerned.

In the news about Hurva's recapture of Zagreb, someone caught the attention of Ladislas II.

The name of Count Alexandre Juliant Gumbre aroused the interest of the king.

A foreign nobleman from Italy, who came to the Balkans with dry food a thousand miles away, helped an exiled nobleman recapture his belongings. What kind of mental illness is this?

Ladislas II did not believe that anyone would have such a noble virtue. At least after the centuries of cruel crusade and devout sacrifices, it is difficult to see the great sacrifice full of chivalry in Europe today. The person.

Therefore, the King of Bohemia cannot but consider what this person's appearance means.

A foreign aristocrat may not cause too much suspicion, but if this person carries an army and he has an unusual relationship with the Vatican, he cannot help but cause too much suspicion.

Not many Balkans know where the small place Montina is, but many people know pizza.

The father of the Duke of Pisa, this identity is enough to make many people realize that the identity of the count is not simple, but the real key is the woman who gave birth to the duchess with him, which shocked many people.

The daughter of Pope Alexander VI, this identity means that not many people do n’t know, but the lover of the Pope ’s daughter suddenly appeared in Bosnia with an army, and the hidden things behind it are too worthy of interest. Too.

Especially for Ladislas II, thinking about the news of the copper mine, and then receiving news from the count, it made Alexander wonder what kind of connection there was.

The emperor, the Fugger's house, the pope, the Count of Montina and Hilva, and the large copper mine in Hungary.

Ladislas II felt that he had fallen into a certain conspiracy, and it seemed that someone was calculating him in secret, which convinced Ladislas II that if he was not careful, he might be caught by others.

It's just that at this time, who should he cooperate with, which makes Ladislas II feel a headache.

Obviously according to the current situation ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Although Roy? Is a Orthodox, it should be a smart decision to support him. After all, if Roy? Becomes king of Bosnia, he can effectively organize the Bosnian nobility and The Ottomans contend.

And such an ally is obviously important to Ladislas II today.

But when he thought of the copper mines in Hungary, the king couldn't help but hesitate.

The identity of the Earl of Montina made it difficult for the king to believe that he had nothing to do with the Pope in the Balkans, and now Maximian is trying to get involved in the Hungarian copper mine. The Earl of Montina, which in turn led to the pope may fall to the side of Maximian, then the copper mine in Hungary may really be taken by the abominable emperor.

The king decided to see the businessman from Rome again before the meeting and ask him for more detailed news.

Although he is not clear about the specific origin of the businessman, he still trusts that person.

This is because the man's business seems to be a competitor of the Fugel family, his name is Prato.
