Chapter 112: Thomas's Day of Doom

"Then Your Majesty Thomas, let's talk about Constantinople again. Are the walls okay? You must be aware that some gates will be forgotten to close because they are lax. Qin Cang said with a grin.

Anecdotal news says that the walls of Constantinople fell to a neglected gate behind a section of the fallen wall. At that time, the defenders of the city thought that the city wall had collapsed, so they took it for granted that the gate was gone and the Ottoman Turks could not enter.

As you can see, in the records of the people of the city, almost in an instant there were 20,000 soldiers pouring into that gate!

Then Constantinople was slaughtered.

Until the death of Mehmed II, the population of Constantinople did not exceed 10,000 households, that is, less than 50,000. In the sixteenth century, there were only 80,000 people. It can be seen that the Ottoman Turks' talent for destruction far exceeded their talent for governance. And this is the result of the help of the Greeks.

Thomas darkened his face, but still said patiently: "The battle in Constantinople is critical!" We have already lost a small half of our artillery! And there is a serious shortage of troops. So I hope the king can give us more support! One hundred and fifty guns! ”

Yes?

Qin Cang didn't expect that this white wolf was going to perform empty gloves?

"No, no, no, heretic! For us, you and your castle are no different from the Ottomans. Your gods, and the gods of the Ottomans, have nothing to distinguish between us. You see, we came to the rescue of Constantinople only because you were able to hand over enough benefits. Do you understand? I don't care if your faith or your faith is worth a few cents, just as quickly as the value of your annual Hyperon gold coins depreciates! Qin Cang's sharp rebuke made Thomas's heart start!

Thomas, of course, didn't want to play all the cards he had. This time and just now it was different from the preparations with the Ottoman Turks. At that time, it was still arranged to die, but now there is a certain room for maneuver. Thirty-three guns were still in hand.

"We ....... On behalf of my brother, I can marry the only princess of the Roman Empire to His Majesty the King, and at the same time confer upon you the noble title of the greatest Caesar and the guardian of Constantinople! Thomas sighed in his distinctive Greek tone.

However, in Qin Cang's opinion, this is useless.

"What's the use?" Qin Cang took a bite of the snack and choked a few old scholars around him. They collectively threw contemptuous glances at Qin Cang, saying that you are so rude, it seems that we are uneducated......

Thomas also almost killed Qin Cang with a mouthful of salt soda!

It's useless, but the Roman Empire, the only one in the millennium, can get it no matter how miserable it is. But Thomas didn't know that Qin Cangcai couldn't look down on these false names! Moreover, the Roman habit of abusing various names was well known. Caesar, the name of the Vice-Emperor, was thrown in the trash when Alexios was in his time, and now he can still hold it?

Meng Zhuoyan, Qin Changan and others are also shrewd to the ass. They learn the history of the region faster than the Greeks learn from the Han! Therefore, the name Caesar has long since declined, and it is well known to everyone.

Honestly, with this name, are you humiliating me?

Thomas was embarrassed.

He found that the various means he came up with must be the supreme glory for the Greeks under him, but for Qin Cang, this was completely tasteless chicken ribs.

"Achaia....... Stake the Principality of Achaia. Thomas had no choice but to pinch his nose and say this.

Seeing that everyone was still staring at him, he added embarrassedly: "The Principality of Achaea is in the hands of my brother Demetus...... He may ..... Reluctance to surrender the principality. ”

Qin Cang and the Zhongtai Pavilion fell one after another...... Is there anything as weird as you? A knife at the beginning, give a claim, and the territory is all about fighting?

"It's unappetizing, Your Excellency Thomas Valleologo, if you come to entertain us, I think you've succeeded. But this is a national matter, and we will not play a useless exchange game with you. Qin Cang got up, looking like he was about to leave. At the same time, his foot had already kicked on Meng Zhuoyan's foot.

Keep me.

"Ahem, Your Majesty, we have always had a tradition of friendship with Rome, so don't be so hasty in this matter........," Meng Zhuoyan immediately pulled Qin Cang back.

Secret Technique - Bargaining Tactics! (Vegetable market only!) )

Well, this is the simplest psychological oppression, and it is also a common tactic used by the majority of Chinese women to turn back and kill.

"I ...... On behalf of my brother, I can provide the Han Kingdom with a commercial area in Constantinople that is in principle no less than that of the Venetians or the ******. Thomas had no choice but to pull out his last killing weapon.

“.......”

A group of people immediately pulled out a map that Thomas almost pulled out of his eyeballs, and studied it in more detail than the map of Junbao in his hand!

Then, the bad quartet yelled at Thomas in unison, "We want Sofia Harbor!" ”

It is known that the business district of Constantinople is the city of Galata on the Golden Horn, and the business district of the Venetians and ****** on the south side of the Golden Horn. This area is on the northern side of Constantinople. And the port of Sofia, this large, well-equipped port is located on the southern side of Constantinople. And there is still a certain amount of population left here.

As for the two ports further west...... Let's not mention it. Probably a little better than the ruins.

Port of Sofia......

Thomas felt a pain in his flesh! These unscrupulous bastards have fallen in love with the few places where Junbao can still make money now!

But in order to protect the castle!

Thomas stood up firmly and said, "That's good! Let's sign a treaty! We will exchange the name of Caesar, the princess, the principality of Achaia, and the port of Sofia for one hundred and fifty artillery pieces of your country......"

Fang had a cold face, stretched out a finger and said, "One hundred doors." No more, no bargaining. But we'll give you an extra hundred armor sets and a thousand spearheads. Good luck. ”

Thomas felt that today must be a day of bad luck.

"A hundred doors are a hundred doors! Supplies are also available! ”

"Good, deal!"

This treaty, of course, is infinitely beneficial to Qin Cang. With the names of princess and Caesar, it will not be so unjust when you have a crooked heart for the castle in the future. And the Principality of Achaea needless to say, let Li Anshi take it back. Didn't he blow his Spartan United? Let him fight.

As for the port of Sofia?

Hehe, Constantinople is an important commercial city in Asia and Europe! With a port, both commodity distribution and trade have been greatly improved! And their own products will sell better!

Thomas gritted his teeth and walked away. On this trip, he was pulled out of his pants and completely lost his hole cards.

Sad!
