At the beginning of January, spring was not evident in the Peloponnese.

A light rain had just passed, and the rebuilt walls of Cornish on the Isthmus of Konish still hung with the personal flag of Anthony Lee.

"Governor of the Great Han Viju, Bebeloonnese, Lee"

On a long pillar hung such an erected red flag.

And there are quite a few more on the side.

"Grand Hannaf Plion Prefect Zhang"

"The Great Han Patras Prefect Meng"

.......

Speaking of which, this can be regarded as a great credit to Li Anshi. In the case that the main body of the Han Chinese could not hold the advantage at all, Li Anshi did not forcibly control the Greeks in the region, but instead relied on the Greeks from the native land to govern together with the local Greeks. To this end, he also obtained Qin Cang's consent and appointed four prefects.

However, these four prefects must change their Han surnames. This point was also agreed upon in advance.

The prefect's knowledge means temporary, and it can be regarded as a small means of Li Anshi.

It all started at the beginning of the month.

During the previous invasion of Athens by Constantine XI, which resulted in the defeat of the Ottomans, the Duchy of Athens agreed to submit to Constantine XI. This surrender was considered to be transferred to the Great Han with the arrival of Li Anshi.

But at the beginning of the month, the Italian Francisco I said that this thing was the of the previous ruler, so I didn't wipe it.

It should be noted that the owner of the Duchy of Athens went through several rounds. Originally a Frankish knight of the Crusaders, he was later taken over by the Catalan mercenary group. (which is why the Kingdom of Aragon has a claim to the region) and later the rule of the region passed to the Duke of Florence in Italy.

It was when Francisco I came to Athens that he had just arrived.

And the reason why Li Anshi dared to fight him was because ****** people told him about the recent situation in northern Italy and the recent situation in the Balkans.

Mehmed II, who had been defeated in Constantinople and then Jurju, lost Serbia, giving Janos Hunya a roar. Then there was a rebellion in Ottoman Turkey, and the part of Asia Minor became a pot of porridge. Mehmed II was gathering troops in Bursa to quell the rebellion, which also meant that the Duchy of Athens had lost its greatest foreign aid.

Then there was the backstage of the Duchy of Athens, and the Duchy of Florence was not calm now, either. A new round of crisis over the succession of the Habsburgs in Austria has once again touched the nerves of all people in the region. Who will be on the throne of the Holy Roman Empire? That's a problem.

There was even a proclamation that the Papal Party of the City Lord El and the Emperor Ghibelin would reappear again, and that a new succession war could break out at any time.

The Grand Duchy of Florence was already involved, and it tended to be divided internally, which gave Li Anshi a great opportunity.

Now that there are only two people in the country, Qin Chuan and Qin Hongrun, who have won the title of duke as royal families, Li Anshi feels that it should not be a problem to lay down another Athens and present a golden Greek crown to the king. In this way, he should at least get the title of a marquis.

You might even get your own fiefdom.

Gathering 3,000 Spartan wings, 2,000 musketeers, 20 artillery pieces, and 5,000 spearmen, Li Anshi drilled at the walls of Cornish.

Lee insisted that one of his own soldiers had gone astray and was killed by border guards of the Duchy of Athens.

"Francisco I will pay the price of blood!"

Andrew Lee said.

The Greeks are certainly not a solidarity people. The Peloponnesian Greeks and the Athenian Greeks have been bitter enemies since classical times. The Pontic Greeks (of Trabzon), the Caucasian Greeks, the Gothic Greeks (i.e., those in the mountains of the Western Mountains), and the Crimean Greeks would not help each other.

And the Greeks in the capital are clearly the most hateful.

At the call of Li Anshi, several small mercenary groups of Greeks ran over. Li Anshi, who has money in his hands and cannons under his feet, will certainly not refuse.

And the hapless Francisco I.......

Of course, I had to be forced to fight.

The two sides fought hard under the walls of Conish. The Italians also make cannons, the cannons are quite advanced, and they also make armor, so there are no problems with the hardware on both sides.

The only problem is the software.

That's right, people's hearts.

Andrew Lee only had 3,000 Spartan United to do.

Look at what kind of soldiers Francisco I had under him.

Bandit cavalry from Albania, tomahawk mercenaries from Croatia, longbowmen from England, Berber javelinmen from North Africa.......

A bunch of mercenaries gathered together, and they were also taken aback by the terrible state of war at the beginning. Then most of the armies on both sides began to grind foreign workers.

"It's useless! It's all rice buckets! ”

Li Anshi commented, and then hoped that Chen Jia would quickly bring him some good news.......

.......

Li Anshi's matter can only be solved by himself. The Duchy of Athens was a buffer zone for us and Ottoman Turkey. Once it is broken by Li Anshi, the consequences may backfire. Meng Zhuoyan did not openly oppose Li Anshi's arbitrary behavior in the cabinet.

"Forget it, now that Muhammad II has crossed the river, it is difficult to protect himself. If Li Anshi wants to make trouble, let him make trouble. However, the Peloponnese cannot be abandoned, and we still need the silk business there, so let Chen Jia send some supplies over to show support. Let's move on to the next item, the selection of Jian Ye Mansion. ”

The Cabinet works five days a week and rests one day. Following the customs of the Han Dynasty.

Now that Shuangbi County in Jianye Mansion has been almost reclaimed, who will take on the big responsibility?

It should be noted that Jianye Mansion is surrounded by its own government offices, so it should be a local plan as usual, but it is newly opened up and classified as a foreign guard. There are many restrictions, a large population, and heavy tasks have become its big problems.

"I think let's let Zhang Chenglin go first. Let Pan Daoquan take over the position of Zhengqing of Dali Temple. Zhang Chenglin has been an auxiliary political officer for so long, and his ability will not be bad. What's more, he was originally an upright person, and the people in Jianye Mansion were troubled, so he should be able to. ”

.......

The final decision was made quickly, and Zhang Chenglin packed up the study room in Dali Temple that was not yet hot, and came to the harbor.

The other one is waiting for him, Qiao Bao.

That's right, it's Qiao Bao.

After unloading the burden of the cement supervisor, Qiao Bao decided to go to Jianye Mansion with Qin Cang's newly recruited personnel to try to burn ceramics.

Ukraine's kaolin resources are concentrated on both sides of the Dnieper River, especially in Jianye Province. Qiao Bao, who has a high spirit, hopes to be the first person to burn ceramics. In this way, he can enjoy the subsidy of the entire trade, and according to the estimated trade volume, Qiao Bao may have hundreds of Hipperon gold coins in his account every month!
