Chapter 146: Visigothic Orthodoxy, Eastern Roman Barbarians (Supplement)

……

Spain's handshake, then Venice and Austria, the two brothers in need, may shed blood to the sea of corpses, but Ferdinand does not think that they will not be able to hold the line. The Ottoman Turkish Empire was at its limit, from Constantinople to Austria and deep into central Europe, and it was no easy task to rule dozens of different historical and Christian peoples throughout the Balkans.

What if one day did the Sultan really bulldoze Vienna? So what! If you lose Vienna, Austria won't be done with it! In addition to Austria, there is also Poland-Lithuania, and Muscovy (although this is not necessarily going to war), and more importantly, the entire German region - the bottomless pit of the Holy Roman Empire that eats kings and does not spit out bones, and Ferdinand, the "traverser", does not want to care, and you Sultan still want to stew people in a pot?

Even if Suleiman the Magnificent was really too wise, or if Allah really existed, one day the battle report came to me with surprise - the peace of the barbarians had crossed the Rhine...... Isn't there still a demon on top of that? You say that the French demon and the Ottomans have a blasphemous alliance? It was because the Habsburgs were so strong that France was forced to do so.

After the 16th century, the Habsburgs declined, and the French demons didn't mention this stubble much, and by the time of the Great Turkish War, didn't Louis XIV's actions pull a lot of hatred, how did Prince Eugen come? The Sultan is in Alsace, and you still accompany him to blaspheme the duck? I'm afraid that the duck will live, and you will be rubbed on the ground first......

Even if the undisciplined France really became the leading party? So what, at that time Banya had already united with Iberia and even England, pulled in Northern Europe and Italy, and contacted all the dissatisfied Christian nations in Europe, including many opponents of the French demon country, and there was no pressure for everyone to fight the Battle of Chalons - of course, this can be said, within the range of the flintlock pistol held by His Majesty the wise and powerful.

……

The authors who are under pressure need the number of words, but Andrés Palaiologos, who is in a hurry to make money, does not think so much, as long as Ferdinand is rich enough to buy his throne.

Thus, while Ferdinand was arranging the expedition of the Grand Fleet to the Americas, Andrés Palaiologos sent his younger brother Manuel Palaiologos to the court of Barcelona to sell the throne to Ferdinand and Isabella.

Ferdinand was a little surprised at first to hear that Manuel had come to negotiate the sale of the Eastern Roman Empire's throne on behalf of his brother, but then he traced all the records of the original history about this matter from his memory.

In order to convince the Catholic kings, Manuel thought of many arguments.

As soon as they met, he first praised the exploits of the two kings in defending Christendom, saying that the two kings were simply saving the heavens and saving European Christendom from the upside down, which made Ferdinand embarrassed to hear it. What is the Kingdom of Granada, he himself saw it very clearly when he attacked Malaga, although he used the strength of the entire peninsula to beat the Castilian treasury to the point that he could run horses, but that was because Banya himself was poor, not because Granada was too strong, if there was no long-term conquest of the Iberian Christian countries, without the need for two kings, Isabella's Castilian family was enough to push the Kingdom of Granada. At that time, the Ottoman Sultan said that he "did not care about Granada", but in fact the Ottoman fleet was still too good at that time, and it was much worse than the Venetians, and it was a pipe dream to carry a fleet across the entire Mediterranean and the various Christian kingdoms.

Manuel then tried to exaggerate how cruel, powerful, and terrifying the Ottoman Empire was, and since the capture of Asia Minor, Kimburg, and Greece, and now the northward march of Albania, Croatia, Serbia, and Bulgaria, and the sweep of the southern Balkans, all of Europe trembled under the gaze of Bayezid II.

Ferdinand still looked uninterested, and now that the countries of Western Europe are besieging the magic demons and snatching the spoils of war, it is so cool that he doesn't want to, and he doesn't see anyone trembling in Bayezid's eyes.

But when it came to this verse, Ferdinand noticed that Isabella did listen attentively and showed a worried look, that she had indeed felt the threat of peace from the Moors since she was a child, and that the Ottoman fame that had come from the East since her childhood had shaped her desire to defend Catholicism against peace religion in order to "protect Spain".

Manuel noticed the difference in the attitudes of the two princesses, and felt that Her Majesty was quite foolish. It seems that there is some hope for the sale of the throne.

However, this was only his delusion.

It is true that Isabella cares more about the glory of Catholicism and the threat of peace than Ferdinand, but at the same time, she cares more about the ducats in the treasury than Ferdinand......

Although the royal family finances Ferdinand will not deliberately make Casstilla's neck useless, it does not affect the fact that Isabella is much more slashing than the current Ferdinand (not the original owner) when it comes to spending.

I'm tempted, but I'll have to bargain! Cut as low as you can!

Therefore, if Ferdinand did not say a word the whole time and only let Isabella and Manuel talk about it, Manuel would definitely get much less money than he could get from talking to Ferdinand alone.

Manuel was still talking at this time, and he saw that Ferdinand was not very interested this time, so he came up with a set of rhetoric that shocked Ferdinand even more.

"I think that you two kings are the most deserving of the Roman throne, and more than a thousand years ago, Visigoths, the ancestors of the Spaniards, were friendly and loyal allies of the Roman Empire, and were the first kingdoms to be recognized by the Roman Empire! It can even be said that the Visigoths are qualified to inherit the orthodoxy of the Western Empire! ”

As soon as Ferdinand heard this, his eyes widened immediately, how did I not know that Visigoths were also qualified to be orthodox? Frank's bones are not cold, and Shinra is not dead!

If the history books that Ferdinand read were not pirated, what he knew was that more than a thousand years ago, 15,000 Visigoths crossed the Danube with the permission of the Roman emperor, migrated to the Balkans, settled in Rome, and defended the Roman Empire as allies. Visigoths seem to have been friendly and loyal to the Roman Empire......

However, only two years later, the "friendly and loyal alliance" broke down and the Visigoths staged an armed uprising. In 401, the Visigoths, under the leadership of the leader Alaric, invaded Italy from the Balkans and fought for nine years, and later, with the cooperation of 40,000 slaves and tens of thousands of Roman soldiers from barbarian origin, they finally broke through the city of Rome and plundered it for three days......

Blood sacrifice to the emperor, head sacrifice to the Holy Seat, too loyal!

Even the old man of Jehovah felt the same way, and Alaric was taken to heaven shortly after the blood sacrifice......
