The military base on the island of Chios, Anatolia has a typical Mediterranean climate, with hot summers and little rain, cold and rainy winters, and it is spring, the weather begins to get hot slowly, and cloudless skies can often wash people's hearts,

But at this moment, Constantine was very annoyed, he looked at the soldiers in front of him who were making trouble, and his heart was angry,

"It's not the same as what is said, we can't just go to the battlefield in a daze."

The soldier shouted, but it could be seen that he was also stubborn, just holding on to his breath.

"Flores, what are you doing? If you don't step back quickly, how dare you make a mistake in front of Your Majesty? ”

Vlad seemed to be in a hurry, stood up, and urged repeatedly, when this happened, his face was gloomy.

"Eh~"

Constantine grabbed the whip that Vlad wanted to pull down, glared at Vlad, Vlad smiled wryly, and pulled his hand back,

"Listen to the voice of the people, so that the great monarch is not irritated by the right accusations, nor is he frivolous with hypocritical boasting."

taught Vlad a lesson, and when he saw that he was speechless, he looked at this Flores,

"My people, what grievances do you have?"

Flores' face flushed, but she still said what he wanted to say,

"Before we came, no one told us that we were here to fight the Ottomans, the Ottomans had obviously retreated far away, and we Wallachians had no relationship with half a ducat, so why should we come to fight thousands of miles away?"

Hearing this, Constantine was a little surprised, he looked Flores up and down carefully, and saw that he was not very old, and when he looked behind him, some of the heads that were more hidden shrank back, and he thought to himself,

"Flores, you're young, do you have any siblings?"

"I'm the third in line, with two brothers, three younger brothers, and two older sisters."

Flores did not hesitate in the slightest, and proudly said it.

In this year, the prosperity of the family is indeed something to be proud of, and the strength of many people is universal everywhere, let alone in troubled times.

"I can see that you and your family have a good relationship,"

Constantine nodded with emotion,

"But one day, a group of people broke into your home, raped your sister, killed your young brother, took your brother to work as a coolie, and your parents were cut down with knives because they resisted, will you resist?"

Flores was speechless, stalking his neck,

"This can't be..."

"Impossible? That's what the Ottomans did, they brutally nailed people to stakes, tortured them, forced them to serve their sentences, and now, we're here not for anything else, just so that it doesn't happen in our families and homes, and that's why we're here. ”

After saying that, Constantine patted him on the shoulder and walked away without looking back.

When he saw those sneaky heads, Constantine understood everything, but it was the old fritters themselves who were dissatisfied and instigated this young man to make trouble.

Constantine was very helpless, this is the disadvantage of the basic small plate, the Greeks are too few, and they are distributed all over the place, and the source of soldiers that can be obtained from the Greeks is too small, after so many years of war, not only the population, but even the place of survival has been robbed a lot by foreign races, why the successive Roman emperors have to rely on foreign tribes to form corps, first the Goths, then the Lombards, and even the Persians, Turks, it is because of the pure beginning of the Romans, and the later Greeks are too few, and the assimilation of the empire is not done well, The original culture, language, customs, traditions and even architectural styles of foreign races have not changed, so how can you make people feel a sense of belonging? Why do people work for you Romans, in terms of national assimilation, the Prussians are still excellent, three partitions of Poland, the Poles in the territory have not heard of any big rebellion.

The ethnic composition of Wallachia is complex, but it is clear that the current Wallachians are descendants of the Romans, and after the Roman Empire abandoned this area, the remnants of the Romans intermarried with the local Dacians, and gradually formed the Wallachians, unlike Serbia, a country composed of Slavs who moved south, and Bulgaria as well, so Wallachia was the goal that Constantine wanted to strive for, but it was obvious that this would have to be planned for a while.

Bursa, in a splendid luxury mansion, someone is discussing something,

This is none other than Khalil Pasha, the Chandal family is an Ottoman prominent political family, has always been the head of the major families, Khalil Chandar Le Pasha is the fourth Grand Vizier of the family, it can be said that, to a certain extent, Khalil Pasha has also been overshadowed by his ancestors,

And the people who can be qualified to sit with Khalil Pasha will naturally not be a simple role, these four people are the patriarchs of the Everenos family, the Michal family, the Turahan family, and the Markozi family, these four families have great military achievements and played a big role in the expansion process of the early Ottoman period.

But this leads to a very interesting phenomenon, among the four major families, the Everenos family and the Michal family were originally Christians in northwestern Anatolia, near Constantinople, and later converted to YSL Christianity, and the Marcozi family was similar, it was converted from Christians, only the Turahan family was a pure MSL, among the four major military families, the Everenos family was the most prominent and trusted by Mehmed II, but for some reason, it now appeared in the mansion of Khalil Pasha, It's incredible.

"Khalil Pasha, Lord Sultan seems to have been trying to sue for peace lately,"

The patriarch of the Banu Turahan said to Khalil Pasha,

"Recently, when the news of the fall of Cilicia came, Lord Sultan seems to be a lot nervous, and he usually has a lot of noise in the palace, and these days, he has already dealt with several people by starting out."

"Cilicia has fallen, do you have any losses?"

Khalil Pasha did not say anything about Muhammad II, but instead cared about a few people.

"Uh... This?! ”

Several people looked at each other, but it was the patriarch of the Everenos family who spoke first,

"Fortunately, although the land in Cilicia is fertile, we rarely go over, and the loss is limited, but it is the Turahan patriarch, I am afraid that the loss this time is not small."

The land in Cilicia is fertile, and almost all the big families in the country have bought some fertile land there, but relatively speaking, it is the Turahan family, who started in the south, who bought the most, and now this is the case, that is, buying more, losing more.

"You don't have to worry, I still have some good land around Bursa under my name, so I will give it to a few people as compensation for them."

"Eh, how can it be done, Pasha, without merit, without an inch of land, you can't do this."

"yes... Oh, yes. ”

"We can't ask for this!"

"You're welcome,"

Khalil Pasha waved his hand to interrupt the cozy gestures of several people,

"I've stepped into the mausoleum with half a foot, and I've had nothing to worry about in my life, except for one thing,"

As he spoke, Khalil Pasha showed a rare depressed expression,

"The Sultan is young and vigorous, brave and fierce, and not skilled in military affairs, and I am very worried about the future of the country and your people!"

"Oh, of course, the future of the Chandal family is also my concern."

The patriarch of Markozi looked puzzled, Muhammad II was still capable, and the fall of Cilicia was not the fault of Muhammad II, and Khalil Pasha did not agree to the Sultan's plan at that time, how can he feel that Lord Pasha is about to dump the pot now?

"This..."

Patriarch Marcozi wanted to say something, but saw Lord Pasha pick up a cup of tea, drink it slowly, and immediately shut up.

Nomads still prefer to drink tea, tea is greasy, most of the meat on the grassland, drinking tea can clear the stomach, the ancients believed that drinking tea can be poisonous, so they also like to drink tea in their spare time, not just when they drink after cooking, Khalil Pasha is also a bow and horse when he is young, and the Turks are pure nomads, and it is not surprising that they like to drink tea.

"Then I wonder what Pasha-sama has planned? Could it be that the Romans have sent you a letter to ask you to take refuge in the past? ”

Patriarch Michal was yin and yang, but Khalil Pasha was not angry at all, and Patriarch Ephranos stopped him,

"What's the matter with Lord Pasha, just say it, why bother to make such a detour?"

"Mehmed II is not capable, then let the capable people come up, the prince of Orhan also has the right to inherit the throne, and has lived with the Romans for a long time, he must know the truth and the truth, and the appointment of Prince Orhan can help us defeat the Romans more easily in the future, the Romans have failed, and the whole world cannot stop us, I don't know what you think?"

"Hey... Hey..."

The Turahan patriarch stood up with trembling hands, turned around and wanted to go,

"I haven't heard anything, I'm not here today..."

Patriarch Michal slapped the table and opened his mouth to curse, Patriarch Markozi looked around, as if trying to find a way out, and Patriarch Everenos had a twinkle in his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Hmph"

Khalil Pasha snorted coldly, and slammed the delicate tea bowl on the table with a thudding sound, and in a few moments, the heavily armed soldiers forced back the Turahan chief, who wanted to leave.

"Oh, what are you doing here, old Pasha, don't be kidding, I don't want your compensation, you let me go!"

The Turahan patriarch was full of bitterness, he knew that it was a conspiracy, he would not have come, but he didn't expect that Khalil, an old man, was so good at harming people, it was really an ancestral ability to harm people.

"Now that it's over, don't think about leaving, Patriarch Turahan."

Patriarch Everynos spoke, and directly attracted Khalil Pasha's gaze.

"Unexpectedly, Patriarch Everynos is still an understanding person, how about it, what is your choice?"

"Are there any other options?"

Everynos had a wry smile on his face, but in his heart, no one knew what he was thinking.
