Herzl. Reis, of course, should be called Barbarossa in the future, and that's what became known to the rest of the world.

Barbarossa, a myth of the Europa, was originally supposed to be baba, which means father, because from 1504 to 1510, when the two kings of Spain expelled the Gentiles, many Ottomans, Arabs, and pagans came to Istanbul from Spain through his ships, so out of respect and love, they gave him this title, which can be said to symbolize all his prestige among these people.

Although Barbarossa was regarded as the leader of the Ottoman navy, in fact, he was not a courtier of the Sultan of Selim for the time being, and he was not necessarily willing to be loyal to him, he had his own territory, islands and fleets, and traded pirates and mercenaries, and now he was close to fifty years old, but he was still in good health, and he was majestic.

In the past, Barbarossa had always been dismissive of the Sultan's edicts, even if he was superficially respectful. But who wants to be a slave to be a king, even if it is a slave of the Sultan? But when he heard that the Sultan of Selim had obtained a cure for smallpox from the Europa, he was no longer so sure that he would return to land even though he was trading at sea, and that even if he could pretend to be a Christian and receive blessings from the clergy, what would his soldiers and his people do?

And he also heard that just a few days ago, the Janissaries of the Selim Sultan's Janissaries had beheaded four hundred bloody heads in a row, and these unfortunate men were neither enemies nor traitors, but just some merchants, who were accused of doing business with the Persians, and since a year ago, when the Selim Sultan was the governor of the Balkan Peninsula, and when he fought against the Safavid Empire in Persia, the merchants were strictly forbidden to continue trading with the Persians, of course, the merchants never ignored these, or rather, the more forbidden, It meant that the greater the profits they could get, Barbarossa didn't know what it meant to have a 300% interest, and the merchants dared to trample on the law and the like, but he also knew that the merchants had always been like this, although they were not worthy of forgiveness, but most of the time, the lords and kings still used imprisonment and fines as the main means of punishment.

But this is in the Christian world, in Istanbul, the Sultan is much more severe in temperament, but four hundred...... Thinking about the fact that a single head could fill a huge three-masted ship, Barbarossa's neck could not help but chill when he thought about it.

It seemed that his original plan had to be changed, Barbarossa thought to himself, he wanted to take advantage of the chaos of the old and new sultans to make a great achievement, and now it seemed that although he still had two brothers and an inexplicable uncle, Selim Sultan was still a mighty lion, and he could not be easily angered, but he had heard that Spain was now ruled by a mad queen, and it was said that not long ago, she was almost usurped by her own son, and perhaps he could try to plunder more territory from the Christians.

In this case, it is all the more important for him to ask for the support of the Sultan, and Barbarossa thus takes the gift of the prince Suleiman with great respect, and it can be said that he is a small gesture of favor to the prince and his father.

"But I see that you are still sorrowful," said Barbarossa, "tell me, honorable messenger, what is there that displeased you?" ”

Ibrahim glanced at him: "My prince has recently had a new friend, and you have also met him, the black-haired and blue-eyed Christian. ”

"Alas," cried Barbarossa, "yes, it is indeed unforgettable, his eyes are like emeralds, and I have never seen such a handsome child." "In the Grand Bazaar, at least ten thousand gold coins can be sold, and then the next moment, Barbarossa realizes that he may have said the wrong thing, because this Ibrahim is said to have been chosen by Prince Suleiman because of his good looks, and now although he is still with the prince, his face seems to have met with some misfortune, because he has always covered it with a mask.

Ibrahim hesitated.

"But he's going back," he said slowly, "and he's going back to Italy with his father." ”

Barbarossa understood, but he had to know if it was Prince Suleiman who wanted him to do something, or whether the prince's close servant Ibrahim wanted him to do something, and Prince Suleiman might just need someone to take the child for him, and Ibrahim probably didn't want the prince to have such a powerful enemy around him.

Barbarossa was wrong, though, and Ibrahim was genuinely trying to keep his prince's favorite in Istanbul, but he was not the one who would later "do what the people and the Sultan thought was not feasible." "The Grand Vizier Ibrahim, so in the end he still didn't say what he expected, and it was a pity for Barbarossa for a while.

In fact, even if Barbarossa had accepted the commission, he would not have been able to live up to his employer's expectations, as even the Sultan of Selim would not have been able to truly control Assasin's Master Assassins. The Medici and their party left quietly, as they had done when they arrived, leaving behind only a beautifully handwritten farewell letter.

Selim's heart was both alert and regretful, although the Queen Mother said that they might not have the opportunity to see each other again in the future, but the Sultan knew that once Julio returned to Rome, he would not be far from that lofty position, and how could an emperor of the Christian Church meet with a sultan.

If they do see each other again, then it is only possible that either the crusaders of the Christian Church have retaken Istanbul, or his army has entered Rome, and in either case, he and the golden-eyed wise man are only afraid of dying.

What a pity, Julio. The Medici were a secular prince or a secular king, and their covenant may have been revealed one day, and now, even to his mother or his son, Selim Sultan kept the secret forever, even if Suleiman or his other son became sultan.

Prince Suleiman was not so depressed compared to Selim Sultan, he had been informed by his father that he would become the governor of Kaffa and Manisa, and that he might have to temporarily assume the responsibility of governing and ruling in the old capital city of Edirne, although leaving Istanbul meant that it would be difficult for him to gain love and pity from his father, but he could also be said to have gained freedom and authority, and he would let his father see that he would be his proudest son, and, A deferential heir and not an enemy who may threaten him. It was difficult, but from his little friends, he had learned some important things that the princes of the court could not reach, such as how a son should truly love his father.

As a governor of Ottoman Turkey, it was not difficult for him to go to Rome or Florence, and he heard countless mysterious stories and legends from little Cosimo, and he became more curious about this rich and strange place, and he would one day go and see it with his own eyes.

The Medici and their party, passing through Crete, encountered a storm, but in addition to the damage to the ship's mast, even a sailor who had unfortunately fallen into the sea was recovered, and the rest of the journey was peaceful, and the people could not help praying gratefully to their God.

Julio. The Medici did not want to return to Rome immediately, although he must admit that during his dozens of days in Istanbul, he and Selim Sultan could be said to have become a pair of quite good friends, almost mocking, his thoughts may not be understood in Rome and Florence, but he heard the echo in a closed country full of pagans and slaves, although Selim Sultan may not agree with his ideas, but he can indeed understand Julio. Some of the Medici's unbelievable ideas, and even in some places, he had the same perception as the Medici.

Although one of them is the prince of the Church, and the other is supposed to be the guardian of its religion, they are simply a pair of unbelievers who deserve to be thrown into hell.

Perhaps it was because they were so ungodly that Giulio didn't know what was going on with the Sultan in Istanbul, but as soon as he stepped into the sand of Italy, he was immediately hugged by the emissary of Pope Leo X, whose face was withered, his expression was in a trance, and he was almost mad Leo X was a good man, no one could deny it, but it didn't mean that a good man was a good pope, he had neither talent nor interest in religious and legal affairs, and almost all of them were handed over to Julio before, When Giulio went to Istanbul, he barely sat in the chair of the council chamber for three days, and then fled impatiently, with the result that the affairs of the Church were accumulating day after day, and His Excellency, not even his cardinals, refused to fulfill any of his obligations on various grounds, mainly penance and contemplation.

The problem is that while another great war between the French and the Pope is still brewing, things are still happening in Christendom.

For example, on April 21, King Henry VII of England finally went to heaven with regret, and his son, Henry the Younger, Duke of York, succeeded him as king, and on April 22 he was crowned at Westminster Abbey in London. But his temper is still like a child, and he asks too much for the Holy See and returns too little.

However, since the end of the reign of Henry VII, England's hot relations with the Church have gradually become cold, after all, Henry VII, who has stabilized the domestic situation and suppressed Scotland, no longer needs the support of the Church, and Alexander VI, who traded with him, has long gone to hell, and his successor is not a friend of Alexander VI, but his enemy.

After Henry VIII ascended the throne, although he also gave Pope Leo X a rich gift in return, paying the taxes and annuities due, his attitude was still worrying, and he talked with the papal envoys with great interest, trying to exchange the money for the position of archbishop, and when he refused, he was so unhappy that he did not even allow his queen Catherine to hold a blessed mass in Rome for their future children.

Perhaps it was to punish the new king for his disgrace that his queen Catherine had a miscarriage while she was looking forward to Pentecost Mass.

Catherine of Spain, originally the wife of Henry VIII's brother Arthur, when she came to England from Spain, she was responsible for escorting her or little Henry, who was only a duke at the time, no one thought that they would become a couple, in reality, the age gap between them was too deadly, when Prince Arthur unfortunately died, Catherine was seventeen years old, and little Henry was only twelve years old, but Henry VII insisted that Catherine stay and marry little Henry in order to maintain the alliance with Spain.

And as Juana once saw, the relationship between little Henry and Catherine was not good, maybe they were sweet for a while when they got married, after all, the boy has a curiosity and desire for maturity, but the boy's love has always come and gone quickly, but in a few months, little Henry was tired of his unattractive Catherine, even more so after he ascended the throne, whether as a husband or as a king Catherine has neither beauty, nor power and territory, to say, Henry VIII preferred to marry Philip of Austria's widow, now Queen Juana I of Spain, than to continue his engagement to Catherine.

But the Spaniards did not think so, and this may have been one of the things that Henry VIII had to do in his short years, marrying a wife he did not like, and then having sex with her, and having one or more heirs at an early age.

Henry VIII always believed that his marriage contract to Catherine, his brother's wife, was immoral, and blasphemous, as evidenced by the death of his child with Catherine, and he could not forget Catherine's distorted ugly face, she suddenly fell to the ground in agony, clutching her stomach, and the wine that the priests spilled on the ground in panic mixed with the blood that flowed from under her skirts, giving off a suffocating stench, and the people screaming and running everywhere, and the candles flickering, The saint on the fresco looked down at them, with a mysterious smile on his lips, and Henry VIII swore that he saw the devil in those overlapping dark shadows.
