Not to mention Yang Xiugao's handling of land matters everywhere, after half a month's calculation by the audit dean, the inventory of the assets brought back by Qin Cang was finally completed.

A large number of gold, silver and copper coins, millions of them. The total value plus the amount of the porcelain trade has reached millions of Happeron. At the same time, there are a large number of various goods that cannot be priced. These things, including old wooden tables (yes, the Tatars even grabbed this), necklaces, rings, portraits, and other items have decided to sell to ****** people.

As for the Venetians? Unless they agree to sell their land, there will be ****** people in front of them who will not be able to go any further.

Speaking of which, it's time for the Venetians to get dizzy. After the Chioggia War, the Venetians still controlled trade in the Eastern Mediterranean. But with the pagan invasion, the Venetians were increasingly described as "merchants who danced with demons". Originally, the Venetian had a very bad reputation on the mainland, but now it has fallen into a pit. And in the Aegean Sea, the important lands of Euboea (known to Venetians as Negroponte, or the Black Bridge) and Chios are seriously threatened.

Not to mention the city of Koloni in the southwestern corner of the Peloponnese, which they valued, became the land of the Han Kingdom. This is a major blow to their sea freight. It's a beacon for them.

The three zigzag islands of Euboea, Chios, and Crete are clearly top secret to the Venetians' control of the Aegean Sea. In reality, however, at a time when Mehmed II was developing his navy like crazy, the Gallipoli fortress (a fortified city in the Strait of Marmara and an important arsenal for the Ottomans) was now crowded with warships. If it weren't for the escort formation, the Han boats would not have been able to cross this narrow place.

Oh, by the way, there was also an incident in Gallipoli that showed the strong determination of the Venetians to resist the pagans.

In 1472, the Venetians bought a Venetian slave named Antonella. He was a slave captured by the Ottomans during the Battle of Negroponte. The girl said that he was working in the Arsenal of Gallipoli, and then the 'holy' came to his senses and decided to destroy the Gallipoli Arsenal for the Venetians. And then he went to do it.

And he succeeded! The Gallipoli Arsenal was in flames of the night, and the Ottomans suffered losses of hundreds of thousands of ducats.

It must also be mentioned that the fortress of Gallipoli was the first place where the Ottomans set foot in Europe. It was ****** people who sent them.

The Venetians also claimed to have planned the assassination of the Ottoman sultans fourteen times.

Believe it.

Italians are like this while luring wolves into the room, and at the same time **** the archway to live. They also like to blame each other.

When the Ottomans advanced into Bosnia, the Venetians believed that the Grand Duke of Florence was holding them back, leaving them unable to defend their home. There are different cases.

In Port Patras, Yang Xiugao's apprentice and eldest son, Yang Yuting, quickly spread the news to the Venetian merchants.

The Republic of Venice, in the final analysis, was nothing more than a joint-stock enterprise, lacking the national spirit that a republic requires. But it's so sophisticated that it's all about money from start to finish.

The Venetian was soon heard.

The Republic of Venice, the country of this small island is very compact.

The Senate of Ten, the Senate of twenty-three and the Venetian aristocracy of two thousand represented the main body of the entire state. Any outside colony is not eligible for decision-making. From this it can be seen that Venice naturally lacks the qualifications to become a great empire. This is a very conservative country.

The Consul of Venice and Duke of Venice was Francisco Fascarini.

The Palazzo d'Ore is a new Venetian classic Gothic building (still there, very beautiful), and in this glittering underwater palace, Francisco convened a council of ten to discuss how to deal with the Great Khan's desire for either Euboes, Chios, or Crete.

"Crete must not be lost!"

"Euboea cannot be lost!"

"How can Chios be handed over to someone else?"

The Council of Ten of the Venetian cursed almost as soon as it got the news. I've lost Colony City, what do you want to do?

The natives of Crete have rebelled twenty-six times in one hundred and fifty years, and four times with the government! Despite this, isn't it still suppressed year after year? There were more than 10,000 Venetians living in Iraq (as the Venetians called Gandhia), and the entire Republic of Venice was less than 100,000 nationals.

This shows the importance of Crete in the eyes of the Venetians. This is where they contacted the Mamluks in Egypt to buy precious items such as sugar and pepper.

Egyptian business is clearly more important than business along the Palestinian coast.

Unable to gain hegemony in the Black Sea, especially when the Han Chinese and the ******Greeks were constantly encroaching on the Black Sea trade, the Venetians valued this fertile land.

After some discussion (in fact, condemning Qin Cang's evil deeds), Francisco concluded: "Then, we must reject them. So, who's going to write the reply? ”

Forehead.......

It's a difficult technical job. How not to make the dreaded Khan angry is a crucial question. The Grand Duke of the Peloponnese had already assembled a fleet of dozens of ships, not to mention Constantinople. And the fleet, which only occasionally appeared in the Aegean Sea, was considered the most advanced and powerful warship.

"Why don't you ask the bishop of the church of St. Titus to write it?" People with relatively clear brain circuits made suggestions.

But this suggestion was actually approved by the majority of the people?

It's great that you can carry the black cauldron on the church again!

They thought so, and happily gave the task to the bishop of the church of St. Titus. They seem to have forgotten....... This is not a correspondence from the Tongzong brothers.

........

The messengers of the Great Khan of Terror, who were active everywhere, came to Sicily. In Messina, Conrado met with Yang Yuting.

"I can help you go and talk to Juan II. That fool never cared about anywhere else but Castile. But a place like Messina is impossible. It's too important. Perhaps Catania (present-day Ayutthaya in eastern Sicily) or Syracuse (ancient Syracuse, in southern Catania) could. ”

"That's great." Yang Yuting thanked.

Sultan Osman Hafs of the Hafs dynasty received a gift of fifty scimitars and, with a wave of his hand, sold the port of Pantellia (a large island east of ******, west of Malta) to the Great Khan of the Terror.
