Constantinople in February 1453 was filled with an extremely fanatical religious atmosphere, filled with unbridled passions that bordered on pathology.

It has been a long time since there has been such a passionate atmosphere in this declining and indifferent dying empire.

-- Since the decline of the Eastern Roman Empire, the spirit of the inhabitants of Constantinople has deteriorated day by day. After the entire empire was left with only one isolated city, Constantinople, and the remnants of the subjects were huddled in high walls and became otaku, the people of the Eastern Roman Empire completely lost their motivation and hope for the future, and only held on to the memories of the past and counted the days with their fingers, waiting for the final judgment to come.

According to the Italian diplomat in the report, "...... The people of this country have become dull, neither active nor chapter XXXV, jihad no will. Before the Roman emperor and the church, they prostrate themselves in the dust; Turning around, they shook their fists. Above is violence* and oppression, below is hatred and cowardice. Both the government and the opposition are full of cruelty and hypocrisy, the hypocrisy of appearances replaces real culture, and flashy language conceals real thoughts. Both the political and social organizations are equally decayed, and the national spirit is senile and not the slightest bit resilient. Under the false patriotic ideology, everyone only focuses on self-interest and ignores the public welfare...... The Eastern Roman Empire was doomed to death, and the only thing that could not be determined was a specific date......"

Although the soldiers and civilians of Constantinople seemed to have shown their common hatred and remarkability during the siege of the Turkish army, and did not fall into the name of "Zuihou Romans", it was not so much that they had regained the courage and glory of their ancestors as that they had erupted in despair.

However, after this "miracle of God's punishment of the infidels" and the seemingly irresistible death of 140,000 Turkish troops and Sultan Mehmed II in the countryside outside the city overnight, the atmosphere in the city of Constantinople has changed again!

The citizens, who were already desperate from outside, once again began to believe that pious faith must be saved Chapter 35 and Holy War, and that the Empire's double-headed eagle would never fall. And the restless blood of the Romans, who admired the strong and was willing to fight for war, made everyone feel proud of the miracle and the prospect of sudden enlightenment. As for the "blessing of God and fate", the subjects of the Eastern Roman Empire, who had lost their self-confidence for a long time, could not help but feel inexplicably excited, feeling that this great empire, which had been sinking for a long time and was still breathing, seemed to have the dawn of a new round of revival!

Then, before the excitement of God's blessing and power to destroy the infidels had passed, another new piece of news exploded the city.

-- That's jihad!!

“…… As everyone knows, a group of pagan people from the East, savage and cruel Ottoman Turks, in the last hundred and fifty years, have embezzled almost all the land that once hung the flag of the double-headed eagle, destroying all the glory of the Roman Empire!

They first occupied our Asia Minor, destroyed hundreds of prosperous cities, and turned countless ancient churches into mosques; Then he crossed the Aegean Sea and set foot on the land of Europe, which belonged to Christians! Ever since they came to Europe, they have been ravaging the kingdom of God, killing devout Christians, insulting chaste women, and voraciously drinking the blood of children! From Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece, Romania to Hungary, millions of God's people are groaning under the scimitars of these Turkish devils!

Our cowardice, cowardice and disunity led to the repeated defeats of the Empire, and since the end of the last century there has been almost nothing left of the Roman Empire, except for this new Roman city (another name for Constantinople) at our feet. Our homeland is full of poverty, hunger and sorrow as a result of the raids and ravages of the infidels, with the old men almost dead, the carpenters nailing their coffins incessantly, and the mothers clutching the bodies of their children in grief...... Who is responsible for all this suffering? Those hateful Turks!! ”

In the square in front of Hagia Sophia, the Patriarch of Gregory, dressed in a dazzling golden robe, bathed in bright sunlight, seemed to be covered with a halo of light, looking particularly holy and noble. At this moment, the supreme leader of the Orthodox Church, at the behest of the emperor, is giving an impassioned and incendiary speech, which has fascinated the tens of thousands of people gathered here.

“…… Not long ago, the devilish and cruel Sultan of Turkey, after drowning his brother and cutting off the heads of many of his relatives, cast his greedy eyes on the great city blessed by the Virgin Mary at our feet, and finally provoked the wrath of God to give them the punishment of death with his own hands! Let these heretics understand that the majesty of the Lord is not to be offended! ”

With these words, the people in the square burst into cheers of praise for God. But then, the Patriarch's tone changed: "...... But the calamity brought to us by these turban-covered pagans is far from over! Their tribes still occupy our land, and their mosques still stand in Christian land! What a shame it would be if we did not seize this God-given opportunity to destroy the evil nest they had built in Adrianople, but instead lived up to this rare grace and hid behind the walls of the city and remained indifferent, allowing those devils to continue to occupy our land! How the Lord of Heaven should rebuke us! ”

His old face flushed with wrinkles, and he waved his hands excitedly, as if every muscle in his body was trembling, "...... Therefore I exhort you, and I beseech you, not that I am giving orders, but that the Lord himself is commanding you, and you pious believers, whether you are knights, soldiers, merchants, artisans, or farmers, let everyone be ready at once to fight such a holy war to drive the vicious infidel out of our territory and to take it back from the hands of that wicked people! This is the Lord's will! The Lord Almighty will bless you with invincibility!! ”

When the Patriarch made such a call, there was a brief silence in the square. But the next moment, a fierce sound like a sea tide sounded: "...... Holy war! Holy war! Holy war! Holy war! The house is hand-hitting, and the $ house offers this book to download.

-- Inspired by great miracles and inspired by religious beliefs, the subjects of the Eastern Roman Empire finally "burned"!

And Constantine XI also duly stepped up to the pulpit and gave the order with a spear in his hand, "...... With God-given authority, I hereby declare, all Romans, ready to fight! As your Emperor, I will go out with you to share the joy and harvest of victory, or ......" he paused with the end of his spear on the ground and said categorically...... Like a true Roman, bravely fight to the death! ”！！！
