Chapter 41: Viscount of the Frontier
Three days later......
Emperor Otto and Poland's Mieszko, based on the diplomatic principle of good-neighborliness, friendship and win-win cooperation, signed a peace agreement on the Elbe River.
According to the terms of the agreement, Germany acquiesced to the Polish Grand Duke Mieszko, annexed the border areas of the two countries that had been occupied, renounced its claims to the suzerainty of Poland, and so on.
In exchange, Poland was obliged to bind the Slavic tribes between the Oder and the Elbe not to continue their migration westward.
The two sides concluded an alliance agreement of minimal understanding against the Hungarians, who were recovering from the Byzantines in the south.
As an additional condition of the agreement, the Grand Duke of Poland, Mieszko, requested that the body of Adalbert, a friend of His Majesty the Emperor, be transported to Gniezno for worship, so that the glory of Christ could shine on the whole land of Poland.
In addition, there is another unspoken purpose, which is that this can gradually replace the position of the traditional archbishopric in Poznan, so that he can better control the church and get rid of the influence of the archbishop on Polish politics.
Originally, His Majesty the Emperor firmly disagreed and left the body of his best friend in Poland, but the proposal of the Grand Duke of Poland was supported by His Holiness Pope, because the Archbishop of Poznan had sworn allegiance to the opposition Pope John XVI in Rome, which made His Majesty the Pope very angry and decided to punish those who dared to betray him through the power of the secular monarch.
In fact, Emperor Otto may not have failed to see the Pope's careful thinking, but he could to a certain extent strike at the ecclesiastical forces that gradually surpassed the authority of the monarch, and he was happy to see it.
Eventually, His Majesty agreed to place Adalbet's body in a foreign country, but it had to be canonized, and the three parties reached a compromise of mutual understanding, so they were all overjoyed, and each rolled up his bed and prepared to go home.
A war that killed thousands of people ended with such a simple division of interests, the three biggest bosses took Qi brothers to fight, and then no one could beat anyone, and finally sat down at the negotiating table to rip off, and they all got what they wanted, and they were like brothers and sisters to their former enemies.
Those who died are rotting......
In these sad times, we are all pawns!
It's either onward!
Or be eaten!
Mishenov and I, as witnesses to the agreement, also signed our names on the agreement, you must know that the spelling of such a few simple letters has made me practice hard for a long time, fortunately, the nobles of this era, especially the knights, may not all be literate, and my five big and three thick did not make everyone feel strange.
At the moment of parting, Mishenov and I parted respects, snot and tears took my hand and was reluctant to let go, please rest assured, he was not afraid that he would not see me again, but that he was afraid that he would see me again, and repeatedly confirmed that I would not spread the news of his violent beating by me after I returned, which annoyed me.
"I know a lot of people at the German court, and I will ask them for your news, my friend!"
Misenov looked at me affectionately and said, the meaning of this sentence is actually: Small, buddy also has acquaintances on your side, if you dare to run the train with your mouth full, you can be killed by a few big people, be honest with me!
I nodded humbly, wiped a handful of non-existent tears very cooperatively, and said emotionally: "I will miss the time with you after I go back, although my castle is simple, but there are many people, you are welcome to come at any time, call your German friends, I can also entertain you one by one, rest assured!" ”
Dare to threaten me nakedly, my brother's castle is also stone, and his subordinates will not die in a battle, even if you bring people together, you may not be able to take advantage of it!
The two of us are here in this open and dark arrow, and the three big people on the side look at the harmonious scene of our love and love and can't help but sigh: I have a confidant to comfort my life! These two guys are so good that they can wear a pair of pants, it's really enviable, who would believe that a few days ago they were still your life-and-death rivals?
After hugging each other goodbye and blessing each other's female relatives fiercely in my heart, I left with a victorious gesture.
Because the white fat man didn't know that I didn't have any relatives, I finally got the upper hand in this game without the other party's knowledge, this little white fat, next time I meet you, I will beat you into a pig's head, the second generation of officials is amazing, do you have a submachine gun or what?
I followed His Majesty the Emperor home, marching along the Saxon border towards Berlin, where some of the noble knights of Saxony and the soldiers who had arrived from afar were unassembled and went home with their booty.
Overdue service has been more or less compensated, in short, it is now a busy scene of going back to their respective homes to find their mothers after the group fight.
The bull eventually managed to break through, and was arguing with Hans about the ownership of a piece of cowhide armor after me.
This time, I made the first mistake by inadvertently giving priority to the distribution of the spoils, and there was still a lot of good stuff left except for the part that had to be offered to His Majesty the Emperor and the Pope.
For example, some Slavs with large leather armor and battle axes, but Hans insisted that I did not ask for a ransom after capturing the leader of the opposing side was debatable. In his opinion, the ransom paid by a person of the level of national **** is enough to cover the entire mining estate, and I shrugged my shoulders noncommittally, indicating that he thought too much, and it was a fool not to take advantage of it, but this time the emperor was covered with a white fat man, and he could only empty his hands.
His Majesty the Pope is still very appreciative of me, so that I have now become the target of the public, not only the infamy of the ministers has not been washed away, but also the bad infamy of having milk is a mother, not to mention the Yellow River, even if you jump into the Pacific Ocean, you can't wash it away.
No, His Majesty the Pope asked someone to find me to chat with him, as if I was a free shouter on YY, and I could listen to it and have fun if I had anything to do.
"I want to congratulate you in advance, Baron Randy, because soon you will never hear anyone call you that way again, and I have already suggested that His Majesty the Emperor promote you to the rank of Viscount of the Frontier, although the title is not as good as the real Viscount, but you can now add the title of Your Excellency to your own title."
The Pope whispered to me through the curtain on the carriage window, and the figure loomed inside.
