Chapter 331: When the Alliance Is in Progress (Part II)
When the emperor of the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome heard the words of the Bolgar Khanate, he could not help but look at the envoy of the Bolgar Khanate again.
In Basil. Macedonia, although the emissary of the Bolgar Khanate in front of him looked cowardly, but Basil. Macedonia thinks the man is not as cowardly as he seems.
Why did the emissaries of the Bolgar Khanate be so cowardly, in Basil. Macedonia, in its view, was due to the fact that the emissaries of the Bolgar Khanate were not equal to their own status.
That's why the emissaries of the Bolgar Khanate would have sent a message to the emperor of the Byzantine Empire in the Eastern Roman Empire. Macedonia involuntarily showed a hint of fear and inferiority.
After all, the emperor of the Byzantine Empire of the Eastern Roman Empire, Basil. Macedonia was at the age of the emissary of the Bulgarian Khanate,
He was already a great vassal in the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, and the emissary of the Bolgar Khanate still stood so humbly in Basil, the Byzantine Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire. In front of Macedonia.
Emperor Basil of the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome. Macedonia looked at the envoy of the Bolgar Khanate and nodded, saying:
"That's right, that's right. I really didn't expect that! You, an envoy from the northern Bolgar Khanate, actually know quite well about the situation in the Mediterranean! ”
The envoy of the Bolgar Khanate hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Honorable Roman Emperor, you have won the prize, and I can learn about the Republic of Venice because our Bolgar Khanate often has Norse people come to do business.
The Norse pirates were found throughout the Mediterranean and Baltic Seas, and they visited many countries.
I was able to know that listening to them in the Bolgar Khanate was like listening to a story. ”
Basil. Macedonia watched as the envoy of the Bolgar Khanate did not speak, and he did not believe that the envoy of the Bolgar Khanate was only listening to those events as stories.
If it were a story, he didn't necessarily know what the political system of the Republic of Venice was like.
It's just that the emperor of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, Basil. Macedonia didn't care about that.
Basil. Macedonia withdrew his gaze from the envoy of the Bolgar Khanate, and he continued to speak lightly: "In addition to the Republic of Venice and the Kingdom of Bulgaria, I can bring you an ally. ”
Hearing that the Byzantine Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire could also bring an ally to his side, the envoys of the Bolgar Khanate and the Cuman Khanate glanced at each other.
Originally, they felt that this alliance was a bit of a loss, but when they heard the words of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, they instantly felt that they had made money.
After all, it only needs to provide supplies and war horses to a country in the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire to bring in the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire as an ally.
And the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire brought them the Kingdom of Bulgaria and the Republic of Venice, which was enough to surprise them.
But now the emperor of the Byzantine Empire in the Eastern Roman Empire, Basil. Macedonia actually told them that Basil. Macedonia can even bring them an ally.
How could such a good thing not surprise and delight the emissaries of the Bolgar Khanate and the Cuman Khanate.
The envoy of the Bolgar Khanate respectfully and humbly saluted and asked, "Dear Roman Emperor, can you really find an ally?" ”
Basil. Macedonia waved his hand indifferently: "Since you question me, then I won't look for it, anyway, you don't believe me." ”
Princess Anastasia, who was standing aside, looked at her father, Basil. Macedonian at a glance, she had already guessed that the Byzantine Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire. Who is that ally that Macedonian is talking about?
Princess Anastasia dared to guarantee the Byzantine Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire. The ally that Macedonia was trying to pull over was the Kingdom of Armenia, in Asia Minor.
Eastern Roman Byzantine Emperor Basil. Macedonia still didn't speak, and Anastasia's feet were sore.
She reached out and nudged her father, Basil. Macedonia whispered, "Father, why don't you speak?" My daughter can guess which country is the ally you want to pull. ”
Eastern Roman Byzantine Emperor Basil. Macedonia heard the words of his daughter Princess Anastasia, and he raised his eyebrows and looked up at Anastasia and laughed in a low voice:
"Oh? My daughter Anastasia, have you guessed which country I am trying to pull allies? ”
Anastasia nodded: "If my daughter is not mistaken, I'm afraid that the ally that my father wants to pull over is the Armenian Kingdom in the east of Asia Minor, right?"
After all, father, you have been secretly supporting the kingdom of Armenia against the invasion of Persians and Arabs all these years.
And now the Arab Abbasids and the various states of Persia are busy with infighting, so the kingdom of Armenia has also come out.
Father, do you want the Kingdom of Armenia to send troops to attack the Chinese Empire with you? ”
"Bang bang bang!"
Basil. Macedonia clapped his hands with satisfaction and looked at Anastasia and praised: "You are worthy of being my daughter, Anastasia, you really surprised me!" ”
The emissaries of the Bolgar Khanate and the Cuman Khanate suddenly heard from the Eastern Roman Byzantine Emperor Basil. Macedonia praised Princess Anatasya loudly.
They thought that Princess Anastasia must have said something that made the Emperor of the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome, Basil. Macedonia was happy.
"That's right, the other ally I'm talking about is the Kingdom of Armenia!"
Emperor Basil of the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome. Macedonia's seemingly frail body made a sound that did not match the body.
Basil. Macedonia said to the emissaries of the Bolgar Khanate and the Cuman Khanate: "The last ally I have spoken of to you is the Kingdom of Armenia, of which I suppose you also know.
They were once attached to the Roman Empire, but for a time they became independent, and now the Kingdom of Armenia is not affiliated with the Roman Empire.
But the Kingdom of Armenia is like my vassals, and they will be willing to fight with me against the Chinese Empire. ”
The emissaries of the Bolgar Khanate heard that Basil. Macedonian's words, he recalled for a moment, and he sounded the ancient kingdom of Armenia.
The emissary of the Bolgar Khanate to the Eastern Roman Byzantine Emperor Basil. Macedonia saluted and said, "Thank you to the Immortal Heaven, thank you to the honorable Roman Emperor." ”
After saying this, the envoys of the Bolgar Khanate brought in the envoys of the Cuman Khanate, and together they signed the pact drawn up by the foreign governor of the Byzantine Empire in Eastern Rome.
And Basil. Macedonia took out a pen and signed its name in the covenant, and the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire formed an alliance with the Bolgar Khanate and the Cuman Khanate.
