Chapter 460 Unexpected Situation

The Holy Roman Empire was split into two, which caught everyone by surprise. No one thought that the Berlin Alliance would dare to do this.

"Crazy, they are really crazy"

The Duke of Burgundy was talking to his ministers about this. He thought that the Berlin Alliance would not recognize Sigismund's German king, but he didn't expect them to directly establish another one. This is a direct confrontation.

Although he wanted to see such a scene, it was not now. France has not been settled yet, and the Holy Roman Empire has problems again. And I don't know what's going on, Friesland is making trouble again.

Since Margaret, Countess of Flanders, married his father Philip, Friesland has gradually been incorporated into the rule of Burgundy, and the local developed economy has provided Burgundy with a lot of funds. But recently, towns led by Brussels have asked the Duke to give them political rights, otherwise they will refuse to pay taxes.

John had no choice but to agree to hold a three-level meeting in Brussels on a certain day, but he didn't believe that no one would instigate these situations.

In fact, no one really pushed. Who would be so bored as to push this? Even the nearest Duke of Normandy has no time to do this.

Now Stefan is recruiting refugees to prepare for war. Normandy is not a little desolate. Henry IV made the whole place barren before retreating. He can only recruit refugees and build defenses to defend his territory.

With the division of the Holy Roman Empire into two, the surrounding neighboring countries began to stir, but because of Rome, they were in a dilemma. It was really difficult to take the opportunity to divide the Holy Roman territory or put pressure on Rome.

————Dividing line————

Peter was accepting the worship of the Syrian Emir, who converted to Orthodoxy in public and presented maps of Syria and Damascus. The puzzle of the Roman Empire finally had another piece.

Peter conferred titles and rewards on all the surrendered officials and "let" them live in Constantinople. The Emir was "very grateful" and moved directly into the city with his family.

"It seems that their Allah is of little use. One day, I will personally conquer their holy city, just like they conquered Jerusalem."

The emperor's ambition directly made the steward next to him flatter him. There was no way. He had been here for eight years. In the past few years, he had summed up a set of survival rules: if you want to survive, you must work for the emperor unconditionally.

Therefore, whether it was Mircea or Peter, the steward had always promoted the emperor's kindness and achievements. For the new eunuchs, they were patiently taught not to let them contradict the nobles.

The Roman court did not have dozens of concubines like the Arab harem, but there were also 400 maids and eunuchs responsible for taking care of the entire court. The cost was also incomparable to other countries.

After having Syria, Peter was ready to go a step further and continue to exert pressure on the Jerusalem area. At the same time, forcing the Zara-Ir Kingdom to continue to surrender, so that the overall situation in the Near East was determined.

"Alas, why can't Scotland learn from Syria? Such a good opportunity, but they gave it up."

It was a pity for the steward. Although he didn't know how many countries there were in Europe, this Scottish country actually rejected the marriage request and said that it had already discussed the wedding with the Duke of England. The former emperor, Mircea, who was now the Supreme, was so angry that he scolded the person who proposed it. His grandson was such a noble person, but he was insulted like this.

This can't be blamed on Scotland. At present, the King of Scotland was controlled by England, and even the marriage of the Scottish royal family had to be confirmed by England. The marriage of Rome naturally fell through. But Mircea and Peter didn't care about this. They only knew that Scotland rejected them, and there was a price to pay.

Alexander's marriage failed again, and Rome could only look for suitable candidates from other places. As long as there is a chance, it will not be let go. This is a disaster for other big countries, but it is a huge wealth for domestic nobles and rulers of small countries. If someone's daughter can become a prince's consort, then their family will be able to rise to prominence in the future.

"Your Majesty, something happened in Granada."

A eunuch hurriedly brought a messenger to Peter who was thinking. He was very anxious and had a letter in his hand.

"Why are you so anxious about what happened in Granada?" Peter was a little puzzled. Even if something happened in Granada, they were far away from Rome and would not become a problem for the empire.

"Your Majesty, you should take a look." The messenger presented the letter to Peter.

"Oh, I know you are very anxious, but he can't and won't be anxious about this matter. The two places are too far apart, even if..."

Peter said as he opened the letter. He just took a look and then couldn't speak. The steward saw that Peter's face was getting uglier and uglier, and knew that His Majesty was going to be angry.

Sure enough, when Peter finished reading the letter, he cursed directly: "Damn Granada, don't bring the empire with you if you want to die."

Since the Emir of Granada returned to his place, he began to persuade the nobles to convert to Orthodoxy, and those patriarchs who disobeyed were also killed. And ordered most people to convert, and those who disobeyed could leave.

In order to avoid a reaction from Castile and Aragon in the north, Granada used a large amount of gifts to paralyze the two countries on the one hand, and used the mosque as a cover to guide the local people to convert on the other hand.

The entire Granada had only 200,000 people. After the death of the Emir, his son Yusuf continued his father's policy. When Rome was occupied by the Empire, the Emir felt that he could take the opportunity to ask Rome for help, so he strongly encouraged trade with Rome and spent a lot of money to hire a group of Roman teachers to teach Romanian. Such changes made some people dissatisfied. They left Granada and went to Morocco. The Regency Council of Castile also noticed something wrong and decided to send troops to test it.

Since the other party noticed it, he simply stopped pretending. He wrote to Peter, saying that he and all the subjects of Granada had converted to Orthodoxy. As the protector of Orthodoxy, he hoped that the Empire could protect these innocent people and avoid the heresy in the north.

If they didn't save them, they wouldn't blame the emperor. They just wrote 1,000 copies of the article by hand, which would be posted all over the streets and alleys of Constantinople. By then, I don't know if the emperor has the confidence to face it.

"This is a threat to me. He is a small emir who rules the precarious Granada, and now he wants the empire to save them. What can I say? If he succeeds, he will offer the land here and live in a manor in his old age."

"Go, call the prime minister and others, go quickly!!"

Peter's repeated urging made the eunuchs feel that the emperor was really angry, and they did not dare to neglect it. They went directly to the outside of the palace to invite the ministers to a meeting.
