On March 6, 1460, when King Casimir IV of Poland refused to accept the armistice, the Pope withdrew the original edict lifting the ban on trade, which was once again in effect on the Prussian League, and the nobility of the entire Kingdom of Poland fell into a wail.

Immediately, on March 15, the Grand Duke of Moscow 'the Blind' Vasily II accepted the canonization from Constantinople and was officially crowned Grand Duke of Vladimir, located above the princes of the Rus', the Moscow Patriarch accepted the advice of the Patriarch of Constantinople, the Moscow Church pledged allegiance to Vasily II, the right to tax was given to Vasily II, and at the same time a large sum of money was offered, and part of the land of the Moscow Church was handed over, most of which was kept for himself, but Vasily II's royal power had been greatly strengthened,

On the 16th, Vasily II and the Patriarch of Moscow jointly announced their acceptance of the Prague Religious Agreement, and strongly condemned the injustices of the Holy See, and even uttered the words of fighting for the sake of faith, which shocked Christendom, and for the first time the local forces in the Rus region affected the political situation in Europe.

On the 20th, the King of the Kingdom of Poland, the Grand Duke of Lithuania, and the allegiant of the Prussian Union, Casimir IV, read the "Thirty-Five Theses" in the capital Krakow, and after causing great repercussions in the country, on the 25th, Casimir IV announced his acceptance of the "Prague Religious Agreement", and the churches in Krakow and Poznan were first inventoried, most of the land was confiscated, and the funds were handed over, and these lands were not all vested in the name of the king, but were distributed by Casimir IV as a fief of the hero of the war. It was supported by a part of the nobility, but the opposition of the church was particularly strong,

On the 28th, the Bishop of Warmia, the Bishop of Poznań, and the Bishop of Wallazdin united dozens of nobles in large and small Poland to launch a joint rebellion, and the Teutonic Knights saw the seams, and the front advanced a lot to the hinterland of the Kingdom of Poland, and on the 29th, it was only one day, and the conscription order issued by Casimir IV received a huge response, and the nobles enthusiastically joined the army, together with mercenaries and peasants, Casimir IV gathered 30,000 troops in one day, and the two sides were about to start a bloody battle on the Polish plain,

And on the 25th, the day Casimir IV accepted the Prague Religious Agreement, the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick III declared war against the King of Bohemia, the King of Hungary and the Archduke Laszlo V of Austria.

"Your Majesty, the European continent is in turmoil, and now is the right time for us to depose the Pope, should we immediately send troops westward to recover Rome and rebuild the great cause?"

The cabinet was rarely gathered in Topkapi Palace, and Cesipe was even more excited, and said to Constantine with high morale.

"What do you think?"

Constantine didn't respond immediately, he was not a child anymore, so he wouldn't be so breathless.

Seeing Constantine looking at him, Calvo prepared a statement,

"My opinion, don't be in such a hurry to enter the market now, our strategy is to first go east and then west, if we participate in the war, then the war that is still limited to the Germanic region will immediately expand into a European war, which is very detrimental to our current development."

Calvo's words obviously caused serious displeasure among the military forces, and both Hoseppe and Cesipe looked at Calvo with fierce eyes, but he was content and did not take it to heart.

"The Viceroyalty of Mesopotamia is now in full swing, and the institutions there will provide experience for the future of the entire empire, and war can begin at any time, but this kind of thing about the future of the empire must be done as soon as possible."

Calvo really doesn't recommend joining the war now, not to mention anything else, Charles VII of France has not moved, and the 'good man' Philip of Burgundy, who is also a powerful ruler of Western Europe, it doesn't matter if the Kingdom of England is still fighting a civil war, but Christian I of Denmark has not moved, whoever enters the market earlier will have a greater disadvantage, why are they not clear about this reason?

"The most important thing now is to fully support His Majesty Las Dilauth I, it just so happens that the Constantine Avenue from Constantinople to Pest has just been completed, and there are only some finishing touches left, and we have some supplies and the like that can support the front line, which can greatly alleviate the dilemma of His Majesty Las Dillaus I."

Leng Buding Chavez interjected, sharing some of Calvo's firepower.

"Cowardice, this is cowardice, the revival of the Roman Empire is imminent, as long as the Holy See is captured, the Western world will be leaderless, from Constantinople along the Via Egnatia to the city of Durakium in Albania, from the Apennine Peninsula is an Adriatic Sea, the city of Rome is close at hand, we..."

Before Cesipe's words were finished, he was directly interrupted by Chavez,

"And then our navy was defeated by the navy of the Venetians and the Holy See, and our soldiers swam across the Adriatic Sea, right?"

The Navy is temporarily inferior to the Venetians, this is an objective fact, and it cannot be compensated for by shouting slogans.

"It's a big deal that we go to Illyria, along the Alps into the Apennine Peninsula, what the navy can't do, the army can definitely wipe out the Venetians completely."

Cecipe was still stubborn, but everyone knew that he was on top, and such irresponsible words were very disliked by Constantine.

"We can't take risks with our soldiers, and unnecessary and avoidable battles can't happen."

"The Romans are not afraid of death, they are afraid of no honor, our soldiers are the best soldiers, our army is the best army, our people are the best people, it is not the Romans who are afraid of war, what the Roman Empire has done can still exist today, it can achieve great things, it is because of the courage of the Romans in the face of war, the wisdom of life and the piety in the face of the Lord, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we should all fight for it, and the young men of the Roman Empire cannot abandon their honor because of our people."

Cecipe impassionedly dismissed Chavez's words, and even the attendants on the side applauded them inwardly.

"Cesipe, watch your behavior, you use this as a podium? The development of the country has only improved somewhat, how can it be disturbed because of such a thing, Uzun Hassan has re-established a kingdom in the east, and from time to time it intrudes on the Viceroyalty of Mesopotamia, which you don't know? We can't go to war on two fronts. ”

Chavez retorted in a low voice, and the two had a quarrel and stopped talking.

"It's so turbulent, it's really hard to know what to do."

Finally, Constantine spoke, and his tone could not hide his tiredness,

He is fifty-five years old, and his body has begun to gradually become exhausted by the intense daily work.

But fortunately, Empress Anna is about to give birth to an heir, and the Roman Empire can be regarded as a successor.

"Your thinking is as volatile as the current situation, how long has it been since the last debate? We unanimously decided to start with the East and then the West, but now you have forgotten it? ”

"That's not the case, Your Majesty, it's just that now is the best time to go west, and we haven't forgotten what we thought at the beginning, but the changes in the world are a rare opportunity."

Cecipe justified himself in such a way that Constantine chuckled.

"You are wrong, Cesipe, our own great strength is the foundation of the glory of the Roman Empire, if our citizens are starving, our army is fighting bloody battles all the time, the country is in turmoil, the people are dissatisfied, what do we want to do with such a large territory? And only when the people are rich and the morale of the army is high, is the time for us to restore the Roman Empire, and now is far from the time,"

"And if we do it, I'm afraid that the war will be on the scale of the present day, and the whole Christian world will be in chaos, what good will it do us? A piece of land, if it does not have a populace, it cannot produce its own food, and the food we produce itself is not eaten, which is the greatest blasphemy against the Roman Empire. ”

Constantine has spoken, what else does Cecipe have to say, and there is no grievance in his heart, just lamenting that he missed such a good opportunity.

"Your Majesty, Prince Enrique asks to see you."

While saying this, news came from the chamberlain that Prince Enrique, who had been appointed professor of navigation at the University of Constantinople and a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Constantinople, had arrived.

"Invite him in."

With Constantine's approval, Prince Enrique came here in a short time, and when he came, he saw a large number of people here, which made him very stunned.

"Is there something Prince Enrique is here for?"

"I implore Your Majesty not to get involved in the struggle in Europe, the struggle between Las Dilauth Caesar and Frederick III is completely undeserved, and now the most important thing we should do is to recover the Holy Land, not a civil war between Christians, the Kingdom of Portugal will only contribute to the holy war and will not help the civil war between Christians." 33

Prince Enrique was very helpless, he was now very afraid that Constantine would go to Rome desperately, and the most important thing now was to go east, but he was afraid that Constantine would be attracted by the great cause of recovering Rome, and he made a big decision to persuade here.

"Your Majesty, Christians do not want a civil war, since Your Majesty considers himself the Emperor of the Universal Empire, and we all recognize the Roman Empire as a universal Empire, then Your Majesty should not start a civil war at this time when it is about to succeed in recovering the Holy Land, but should turn me, our eyes to Jerusalem, to the Cathedral of the Holy Sepulchre, which is in line with Your Majesty's identity, this is not only my wish, but the wish of all Christians, I hope that Your Majesty will not make unwise moves."

Indeed, even the Holy See, after the Eastern Empire recovered Antioch, sent envoys to Constantinople many times, trying to persuade Constantine and the cabinet government to send troops to recover Jerusalem, and the rulers of other places, dukes and counts from all over the country came to persuade a lot, and even asked Constantine to form a crusade again, and was willing to recognize Constantine XI as a military commander, and completely obeyed Constantine's orders in the process of the Eastern Crusade, but they were all dragged by Constantine,

To put it bluntly, many secular rulers still don't want the Eastern Empire to end, before they understand, everyone thinks that the Eastern Empire is a highly developed country, and after understanding, they think even more so, compared with their own territory, the gap is very obvious,

And the point is that if the Eastern Empire ends, the Holy See will definitely fight to the death, and these princes will have to stand in line, this kind of civil war between Christians, and it is a civil war between all Christians, a war between the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Western Ecumenical Church, is not popular in this relatively religious era, at least not for a short time.

Some people died, but not completely......
