Chapter 520: Taking the opportunity to develop

……

Therefore, the Chinese Empire, the Eastern Roman-Byzantine Empire, and the Bulgarian Kingdom all chose to strengthen the Danube.

The Bulgarian kingdom was worried about the sudden attack of the Chinese Empire, while the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire was worried about the collapse of the Bulgarian kingdom.

Then the war must have been fought near the capital of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire. Macedonia absolutely does not allow this.

However, after all three sides set up defensive lines, the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire and the Bulgarian Kingdom found that the Chinese Empire did not seem to have any intention of attacking.

They didn't understand that I was talking about you, because they didn't know that the Chinese Empire had taken over the north and two-thirds of the British Isles, as well as all of Ireland.

If it had been before, the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire could have known these messages through the Republic of Venice.

But now that the Republic of Venice was alone in the city of Venice, they had no way of knowing anything from the outside.

The trading posts of the Republic of Venice in other countries were also banned or recruited by those countries.

The Venetians stationed at the trading post, who were very clever, said that they were now willing to accept the beggar's command.

That's right, these merchants surrendered without even thinking about it.

There were also some merchants, whose families were in the city of Venice, so after they surrendered, they continued to pay for mercenaries to help the army of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire rescue the Republic of Venice.

Did the Venetian merchants do this for their parents, wives and children in the city of Venice?

Some people really think for their wives and children, but others don't think that way.

These Venetian merchants could give up their religion and their parents for the sake of glittering money, and this truth was known to most monarchs.

If it weren't for the long-term bribery of the Pope by the Republic of Venice, I'm afraid the Pope would not have tolerated this group of Venetian merchants.

Of course, that is in the past, and now that the papal decree is not out of the city of Rome, what qualifications do they have to control others?

Now the Pope is trying to win over a group of people to help him overthrow the control of the Holy Roman Empire.

But now that the Holy Roman Empire is so powerful, how dare some other small countries that believe in Catholicism do this?

With the wave of the Holy Roman Empire's hand, those small states could be wiped out.

Moreover, the only Catholic country today is the kingdom of the Visigoths, who are struggling in the southern Iberian Peninsula under the offensive of the Arab post-Umayyad dynasty.

There is also the chaos in the country, and the various heirs are conspirators to get the regent of the heir.

The Pope of Rome wants to rely on these people to rescue himself, which is nothing more than a fool's dream.

The only person the Pope was able to woo was the original King of Italy.

Because the original king of Italy saw that the unification of the Franks was unstoppable, so after surrendering, the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire still saved some face for him.

and considered the King of Italy to be the one responsible for the domestic dealings with religion.

Therefore, the original Italian king often walked with the Pope.

The Pope wanted to prop up the King of Italy to escape from the Holy Roman Emperor.

I have to say that the Pope's idea is very good, but he also doesn't want to think about how a former Italian king with no troops can help him.

What's more, now the nobles of the Holy Roman Empire have discovered one thing, they have found that the original Pope can still be used in this way.

Emperor Charles I of the Holy Roman Empire gave a head start to the nobility of the Holy Roman Empire.

He wittily invented the coercion of the pope to order the princes, and yes, most of the papal orders they received from people at home and abroad were fake.

It was all written by order of the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.

These people had been praying that the Lord would descend from heaven and destroy the Holy Roman Emperor Charles I.

But their prayers were of no avail, so they made an excuse for themselves.

They believed that the Holy Roman Emperor Charles had not broken any rules by doing so, and that the Lord would not punish him.

After all, the papal orders of the Holy Roman Empire are all recognized and signed and sealed by the pope himself, so this kind of order is equivalent to the order issued by the pope himself.

Under such circumstances, the Pope still hoped that someone could save him, and he didn't want to think that all the people who saved him might have come with the idea of holding him hostage.

So, the Pope has already been used as a mascot now, and he still wants to do things, and Charles, the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, wants to see how the Pope does things.

That's right, now the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles, like a genius, has thought of a better setting.

He sent the former King of Italy to contact the Pope because he intended to take the opportunity to eliminate the Pope and the former King of Italy.

Charlie had long wanted to kill the former king of Italy, but the former king of Italy was very sensible and respectful after surrendering.

So Charlie has never found an excuse, after all, the former king of Italy and he are both members of the Carolingian family.

It is impossible for Charlie to kill the former king of Italy in vain, so that his reputation is not very good.

But what if the former king of Italy was seduced by the Pope? Wouldn't that be a reason for the former King of Italy to be killed?

Charlie thought to himself: as long as the king and the pope of Italy are killed, then there will be no existence in this land that can restrain itself.

Charles has always regarded the Chinese Empire as an enemy, and Charles believes that the Chinese Empire is a greater threat to him than the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.

Therefore, Charles very much wanted to stabilize the country, and then train his army to prepare for a surprise attack on China in the future, or when the Chinese Empire and the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire were at war.

Charlie's excuse has been thought of, he is for the Byzantine Empire, a Christian friend, and all the pagans who want to attack the Chinese Empire.

Of course, now Charles is just thinking about it, whether it is his conquest of the Republic of Venice, or his attempt to kill the Pope and the former King of Italy.

Charlie is all about defeating the Chinese Empire in the future, otherwise it will be very detrimental to himself to let the Chinese Empire grow.

The Holy Roman Emperor Charles is now hoping to find a way to kill the pope, and then bribe and coerce the church to elect himself pope.

In this way, he is like the Abbasid caliphs of the Arab Abbasids in the East, and the monarchy and theocracy are all in one.

Because of this, when the Holy Roman Empire conquered half of the Republic of Venice, he did not continue to wage war.

He didn't want to fight the armies of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire right now, and he didn't think it was worth it.
