Volume 1: Chengguan's Strategy in the Americas Chapter 43, The Impasse in Adrianople (II)

β€”β€” according to Emperor Constantine XI's knowledge, the Sultan Bayezid, who has just ascended the throne in the city, is estimated to be no more than five years old, so this letter should have been ghostwritten by Turahan Pasha, the Turkish minister in power in the city, and sent it to himself in the voice of the sultan

Although the tone of this peace letter is unusual, and the arrangement is outrageous, it does not look like it is bending the knee for peace, but more like shouting and scolding and challenge, but in terms of the substantive conditions issued by the Ottoman Turkish court, it is basically quite logical: 520xs.

The 1st Southern Turkish Route Army thus ended its assault on Moria and abandoned its attempt at the Eastern Roman Empire possessions on the Peloponnese;

secondly, the easternmost part of the Thracian Plain, with a number of villages in the immediate vicinity of Constantinople, plus a few towns on the Asian side of the Bosphorus, to the Eastern Roman Empire, to which the island of Marmara could be added if the emperor was still not satisfied;

third, war indemnities of five hundred pounds of gold and two thousand pounds of silver delivered to the Eastern Roman Emperor on the spot;

In return, Emperor Constantine XI was to immediately retreat from under Adrianople, return the body of Sultan Mehmed II, recognize Bayezid as the only legitimate Ottoman Turkish sultan, and vow not to participate in the civil war of the Turkish royal family

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Tsk, it seems to be a very good condition, after the signing of the treaty, although it is not so easy to revive the Eastern Roman Empire again, but at least the date of the destruction of this decaying empire can be postponed by ten years...... If I hadn't been a traverser, maybe I would."

Emperor Constantine XI smacked his lips and muttered as he reached out and unfolded another letterhead

This is a letterhead sent to him by the second crown princess Gulshakhhatun, who fled to the Albanian front with Prince Mustafa and was about to launch a border garrison to fight back, from the camp of the Ottoman Turkish Albanian Legion

Having been driven out of the capital and at a disadvantage in the battle for the throne of the Ottoman Empire, the second princess, Gulshakhedun, offered significantly more generous terms, not only doubling the war reparations tenfold and expanding the land ceded by a circle, but also promising to return Thessaloniki, the former second largest city in the Eastern Roman Empire and still a trading port of 80,000 people......

Of course, behind the relatively generous reward, the princess of Gulshahhatun also made more demands to the Eastern Roman Empire - Emperor Constantine XI had to lead his rabble to continue to hold on, waiting for the Albanian legion supporting the princess and Prince Mustafa to arrive on the outskirts of Adrianople, join forces with him, and unite against the Moria army that supported the new Sultan Bayezid, and the princess's promises would have to wait until the Bayezid Sultan was overthrown and Prince Mustafa became the new sultan, to be able to cash in full

Obviously, such a high-intensity combat mission has exceeded the limits of the capabilities of this rabble under the command of the emperor

Moreover, neither side of the Turkish Civil War offered apprenticeship was what Constantine XI wanted

- He was not unfamiliar with the port of Thessaloniki, which hung hundreds of kilometers away from the imperial capital, nor did he care about a little gold and silver, he only wanted to recover the Gallipoli Peninsula, cut off the Turks from European and Asian territories, and then control the entire Sea of Marmara

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The Roman Empire in my hands, though in its own hands, was too weak to turn the Mediterranean Sea into its own swimming pool like Caesar Augustus Trajan and Diocletian the Great...... But at the very least, let the Sea of Marmara become an inner lake for the Romans! ”

Looking out the window at the rivers, cities and mountains in the distance, Emperor Constantine XI muttered to himself

Of course, although the smallest sea of Marmara Hequan Shijie, with only more than 10,000 square kilometers of sea area, is not as large as that of Beijing, it is actually not easy to turn it into its own internal lakeβ€”under the current situation, the Turks would rather lose a few square kilometers of border territory than see their country cut off from the middle and turned into two parts that cannot be taken care of

Fortunately, the situation in the Ottoman Turkish Empire is not normal at all, and it is not even far from collapse

The only thing that the emperor regretted was that the collapse of the Turkish Empire did not mean the revival of the Eastern Roman Empire......

Therefore, if you want to get back this important military land, you still have to rely on yourself to get it

Just as Constantine XI was looking at the two letters sent by both sides of the Turkish civil war, thinking about how to maximize the profits from them, the walkie-talkie hanging on his chest suddenly "stomped the bell", which made the contemplative emperor Bixia suddenly excited

He looked up vigilantly at the door of the dormitory, and at the large bed where two Anatolian girls lay in the distance, and made sure that there was no movement on either side, then got up and quietly walked to a small secret room attached to the dormitory, closed the door, and pressed the call button

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Hey, hey? You are...... Oh, it's Comrade Wang Qiu, what's the matter? Belch? The wormhole on that side has been transported to its destination, and now it is time to start transporting nuclear waste? So how is the preparation for the 'miracle' I requested? Well? All the best? Oh, that's amazing......"

After a while, Emperor Bixia walked out of the secret room with confidence and refreshment, and casually threw the letter sent by the princess of Gulshahhatun from Albania into the incense burner and burned it

So, in the evening of the same day, the Bayezid Sultan and Turakhan Pasha, who were now trapped within the walls of Adrianople, received such a "diplomatic reply" that made all the Turks feel their foreheads flutter and their blood pressure soar:

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You, the devil of Turkey, the brother of the devil, the minion of the great devil Lucifer, the child and grandchild of zombies and ghosts! Who do you think you can represent? Actually qualified to dictate to the great Roman emperor! God has helped me punish your daddy, and it's your bitch's turn to be next!

You inferior Turkic pig, born Macedonian slave, disgusting Armenian prostitute, damned Thracian thief, Bulgarian shepherd who fucks goats, Serbian hanger who kills brothers, Anatolian cub who plays with urine and mud! Children of poisonous snakes and hyenas! The scum of the scum! A hybrid of a mongrel! Give me two deaths! If I'm lucky enough to capture you alive, I'm going to keep you in a pigsty for the rest of my life!"

I'm telling you about it! The glorious Romans are determined to fight you wicked heretics to the end! More than a hundred years of war have made us go crazy! Let's make a break this month!
