Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 5 Chapter 132: Trading and trading

When Zuosha appeared under the tall porch of Bucharest Castle, everyone's eyes gathered involuntarily on her.

Young, beautiful and revealing a temperament that is very different from that of most noble women. This is the Countess of Cosenza.

Several young nobles stared at Ruosha, who was walking slowly, with more than one person feeling that they should be in love, because when they looked at the countess, they felt the tension and discomfort caused by the heart beat.

At the invitation of Ladislas II, Zuosha officially met the King of Bohemia.

Ladislas II received Lao Sha in the first hall of the castle. According to the original plan, the king was going to focus on the observance ceremony. He certainly did not do this just to summon Lao Sha, but It is to downplay the Cepes incident through this ceremony.

Only in the end did the king decide to summon Ruosha in the side hall, because from the reaction of the people in the city, he no longer needed him to regroup.

Regarding Zepez ’s attempt to attack the Sophia Palace, the riots in Bucharest were much smaller than imagined. Even after hearing this, many people ’s reactions were more “accidentally” than “accidental”. Suddenly realized.

The reason why Bucharest has such a response is that a lot of people always think that Zeppes, who is a follower of Sophia, actually has a certain idea of ​​Sophia.

If you can marry Sophia, then in addition to Wallachia, relying on Sophia's great reputation in the Balkans, Zeppes may not be able to produce the idea of ​​unifying the entire Balkans.

At least in the name of the successor of Eastern Rome, except for Greece, whether it is Croatia, Bosnia or Bulgaria, Sophia has a strong enough claim to these places.

This is what many people do not want to see, at least in the eyes of the Balkan aristocrats, no matter who will marry Sophia in the future, it cannot be the son of Vlad III who makes all Balkans uneasy!

So Cepes ’s tragedy was doomed from the beginning, and if Cepes chose someone else because he hated Sophia ’s betrayal on him, and then finally launched an attack on the Greek princess, he became justified.

As for the Black Army, it was entirely because of greed and instigation by Zepes. These merciless mercenaries betrayed the Bohemian kings who took them for commission, and tried to hijack or kill the Greek princess according to Zepes ’s order. It was only under the protection of the powerful Kosenza musket force that the plan was smashed.

Everyone acquiesced to this interpretation, and even the entire conviction has been circulated among nobles before it was made public.

When Rusha saw Ladislas II, the king had just drunk the medicinal wine he had prepared for him. During this time, his spirit had been bad. This was mainly due to the pressure caused by the Ottomans, followed by the right Worries about the situation in Hungary.

Because the news was blocked, Ladislas did not know that Emperor Maximian had left Vienna to solve the troubles in Switzerland. This made him want to deal with the Ottomans and be distracted at all times. The knife stabbed behind the emperor, so that whenever a messenger sent a letter or someone wanted to report something to him, the king would immediately get nervous, lest he would hear bad news about Hungary.

With such a tense spirit, Ladislas II was about to collapse, even if he took the opportunity to eliminate the great hidden danger of Cepes, he still couldn't let his mind down.

Because this was only part of the agreement between him and Alexandria, one day Rowa? Without withdrawing troops from Hungary, his worries could not be eliminated one day.

Ruo Sha bowed to Ladislas II, and when she heard the king's polite greeting, she slowly raised her head.

The king was also slightly stunned. He had heard of the beauty of the young countess, but when she looked at her seriously, the king realized that the countess was not only more beautiful than legend, but also younger than he expected.

"Your Majesty, I am grateful for your support for my brother and regret for your loss," said Ruo Sha, holding a document from the tray in the hand of the maid next to her and presenting it to Ladislas II. "We know that the Black Army is your favorite army, but because of their collusion with Zeppes, my brother and I had to suppress these rebels, but after all, it was us who caused you to lose this army. Willing to pay you a certain fee as compensation. "

The king opened the document and looked at the clauses that had been drafted above. The king's eyes looked through the beautiful edge of the document towards the beautiful, disturbing face.

The high cost of the Black Army has already become a huge burden. Even if most of them have been disbanded by the Hungarian nobles, the maintenance of the Black Army in Bohemia is still a big expense. More importantly, Ladislas II was already tired of this unruly and always troublesome army, especially for their loyalty, and the king was always at ease.

He could not forget that the Black Army suddenly changed ground when attacking Vienna, which led King Maximian to press him step by step.

So when I heard that the Hungarian nobles had forcibly disbanded all the black troops in Hungary, Ladislas II was actually equally happy.

Moreover, the high military cost has indeed made the king unbearable. For such an expensive and difficult-to-control army, Ladislas II has actually been bored from the heart, and now he has such an opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity. To get rid of the huge burden of the Black Army made King Ladislas II feel inexplicably relaxed.

Ruosha's so-called compensation is a secret agreement signed with Ladislas II. Now she can borrow this reason to make the terms of the secret contract public.

"Miss Count, I equally regret the threat the Black Army posed to you and Count Montina," Ladislas II satisfactorily put the agreement aside. "You should note that I did not mention Sophia, this is not Because I do n’t think this matter threatens her, but because I see her as my family, my queen ’s love of Sophia even makes my daughter jealous. "

Luo Sha smiled slightly without an interface. She knew that the king said this just to emphasize his influence on Sophia.

In fact, there are various speculations about Sophia's future marriage in the Balkans, and some big nobles hope to get enough benefits from them.

It was just before the Ottoman army was under pressure. The Balkans thought more about how to resist the Ottoman invasion. Now as the Ottoman army is about to retreat, many people's thoughts have become active again.

As for the marriage contract between Alexander and Sophia, Ruosha can guess that the Balkans should agree with the thought that they may be destroyed in the city at any time, so there must be many people now figuring out how to destroy this marriage contract.

For Lao Sha, she saw this so-called divine engagement very far away, but if it was in the interests of Alexander or the entire Free Trade Union, Lao Sha could not but admit that Sophia's role was very huge.

Even a little imagination can foresee the importance of a trade channel centered on Wallachia, expanding to the entire Balkans and even Central and Eastern Europe, food in Southeast Europe, wool in Northern Europe, exquisite luxury in Western Europe and Mediterranean Kerry Special plantation, as long as you think about it, you can't help but feel excited, especially in the Hungarian copper mine market. Yousha believes that if the Fugger family knew that Alexander had monopolized the copper mining rights of Hungary in advance, he would be very angry madly.

All these bonds now seem to be Sophia, so when thinking of these, Ruosha suddenly feels that maybe she should be a little better for Sophia.

This thought annoyed Ruosha for a while, but she soon figured it out.

After all, there may be several lovers and wives, but the lovely sister will always be her only.

This thought made Ruo Sha feel a little bit better, but even if she thought so, she still felt a little angry when she saw Sophia who was so miserable with Alexander.

The Ottomans sent messengers again, and they brought an invitation in the name of Hami Resal Prom, the head of the Sultanate.

Ladislas II showed enough courage and decisiveness this time. He decided to lead the team and negotiate with the Ottomans personally. The place for negotiation is a fair fair for both sides. The town of Budesti.

After the arrival of the Ottomans, the residents of Budesti had already fled to Bucharest, so the town was not ravaged by the fighting. Now the town is suddenly lively, and the whole town is filled with troops from both sides, just According to the agreement at the beginning, with the town center as the boundary, the two sides each accounted for half of Budesti. ,

Although Ladislas II decided to participate in the negotiations in person, but because Bayesert II could not attend, so for the dignity of the king, the real negotiation was the coalition negotiations represented by Alexander and a dozen Balkan nobles. group.

As expected by Alexander, among the Ottoman negotiators, he finally saw the commander of the Ottoman right-wing army who once again threatened him a few times.

What surprised Alexander was that although he had longed for him to meet him, Xi Sugu made a very unexpected request.

"I know this kind of request is very intrusive, but I still hope to see your sister, esteemed Countess Cosenza," Xi Sugu made a request in fluent language with a pronounced Florentine accent. With a light smile "I have to admit that I have an extraordinary affection for your sister, or a desire, although I haven't seen her yet, but I have heard about her amazing beauty, and she actually still I did what even many men could not do, which made me really want to see this female general who defeated me. "

Alexander silently looked at Xi Sugu, and if he was not equally eager to reach an agreement as soon as possible, he would love to fight immediately, at least to get rid of this enemy who pretended to be his lovely sister before negotiating.

Resal does not seem to have changed. The Ottoman court of power, and even the **** who represents Sudan ’s will to a large extent, after expressing full confidence in the successful conclusion of the agreement, invited Alexander to another. Clean room.

After casually chatting some gossip, Resal suddenly asked in a slightly deep voice: "Count, I think you should know respected Ashurk."

Alexander nodded gently, knowing that the real negotiations only started at this time.

"So what do you think of Ashurk?" The **** asked with interest.

"A smart, noble person with extraordinary taste, in my impression he has a breathtaking accomplishment of European art. In many ways he is even more obsessed with those arts than many European nobles."

The **** listened to Alexander ’s comments silently, and then he pondered slightly and asked again: “Then his brother Eryup, how much do you know about him?”

Alexander's eyes fell on the eunuch's white fat face for a moment, then a smile.

"I know what you ’re talking about, I know that this Elup is the governor of those occupied places, and also know what he did in those places, so if I captured him on the battlefield, I would directly order people Hang him on the nearest tree, but we all know that this is just the past. Now that we have negotiated, then I will not retaliate against what he did in the occupied land. "

Resal always listened carefully, and he even took out a piece of paper to write down these words of Alexander, but when he heard that Alexander would hang Ayrup, his hand paused, and then used a kind of Strange eyes glanced at Alexander.

"Count, we can support Princess Sophia's rule over Wallachia." Resal suddenly said something that should never be said by him. His expression was calm, and there was no anxiety and uneasiness in his face. , Even when he saw Alexandria showing a surprised look, the **** also smiled, "You must be wondering why I told you this news so easily, but I believe this should not really hide it. After all, you and the respected Zil Ashurk is a best friend. "

Alexander was able to hear the eunuch's rather ridiculous tone when he said this, which made him more certain that the tacit agreement with Eryup was probably already known by the eunuch.

"Sultan is a great master, his wiseness is second only to the conqueror Muhammad Sultan ..." Resal continued, when he talked about Sudan his tone was very low, and he seemed to be afraid even when he was praising As he was heard by Sudan himself, "He also appreciates talents, but Sudan does not like European civilization. For him, those paintings and sculptures corroded and even violated the territory belonging to Osna culture, so after succeeding to the throne, Sudan sent people to take down those portraits painted by European painters for his father, and prohibited the promotion of European art in the empire. "

Alexander nodded his head and heard about Bayesert ’s conservatism in culture and art. Even Ashurk once criticized Bayesett ’s conservatism in his conversation with him, but these Thrall, the **** around Sudan, clearly has a deeper meaning.

"Whether it's Ashurk or Elup, their family has a deep influence in the empire," Resal said with seemingly casual sounds. "Their family is always loyal to Sudan, I mean they I am loyal to the Sultan of Ottoman, I think you must understand what I am saying. "

Alexander chuckled softly. He had understood the meaning of the eunuch's words. Obviously for the Ashurk brothers, they were only loyal to the man sitting on the throne of the Sudan. It didn't matter who became the Sudan.

Resal lowered his voice and said, "Count, if you can make an agreement, you can get a friendship. We know you want Princess Sophia to be the master of this land, and you seem to have done it now," Eunuch implied A deep look glanced at the expression on Alexander ’s face, and then went on to say, “But it ’s not easy to get Wallachia, but if we can get our support and recognition, then Princess Sophia can become Wallachia smoothly. Owner. "

Alexander looked up and looked up at Resal.

"Yes, we can announce the recognition of Sophia's identity in Wallachia, but she must declare her renunciation of Roman territory." Resal stared at Alexander's face hoping to see something before his expression, but in the end Disappointed: "We cannot allow a person who claims ownership of Constantinople to exist. This is contempt and irrational to the empire."

"But what do you want more now is to reach an agreement as soon as possible, and then withdraw quickly?" Alexander said with a smile. "Let me think about it ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The situation in Sudan should be very bad now, but for the entire Ottoman Empire It said that if there is an accident in Sudan, it may mean that a civil war is about to erupt. Isn't this worse for you? "

The **** ’s always calm look finally slowly gloomed down. He looked at Alexander as if he was exploring how much he knew. After a while, he asked in a deep voice, "Is this what Ashurk told you?" ,count?"

Alexander shook his head. He knew that the **** asked not because he hated Ashurk ’s disclosure of the empire ’s intelligence to the enemy, but just to know how much he knew about the situation inside the Ottoman Empire.

This made Alexander couldn't help laughing, and he was indeed not familiar with the generals of the Ottoman army, but he knew at least who would inherit the Ottoman Empire in the future.

"Think about the count, you can get Wallachia, and even the friendship of the future Sudan, which is more precious than any wealth in the world." Resal finished bowing slightly to Alexander, then turned and walked out of the room.

"Future Friendship of Sudan?" Alexander said to himself, then gently shook his head. "Unexpectedly, the chief loyal **** who is known to be around Bayesert II was originally a person of Prince Selim."
