Chapter 336 The Impact of the Emperor's Visit

Mircea received a warm welcome in Prague, and all the local nobles appeared here. In order to avoid being looked down upon by the emperor, the city government took out most of its savings for banquets and celebrations. And drove out all the beggars in Prague.

The Roman emperor and the King of Bohemia had a good conversation. Although Wenzel had no real power, he could still have some private conversations with Mircea.

For these nobles, Wenzel did not hide his disgust for them at all, and could only express that he would do his best to ensure that Vlad and Anne inherited the throne.

At present, there is a strong call for religious reform in Bohemia, and Wenzel intends to use this incident to strengthen his power.

The whole Prague is immersed in a sea of ​​joy. The upper class keeps consuming beer and food, while the lower-class civilians can only beg them for a little money or food to fill their stomachs. The strong class gap makes some people completely disappointed with the local nobles. Some of them go to Brno, while others stay here and plan to use the city council to fight.

Mircea also gave enough face and gifts to this relative. He directly said that if Wenzel got into any trouble, he would definitely come with the army to help.

This is a warning, warning those with ulterior motives not to take advantage of him. And even if the nobles were dissatisfied with the Roman Empire, the public poor had a very high favorability towards Rome.

The southern cities, led by Brno, continued to grow and develop in trade with Rome. The grain, beeswax, textiles and spices produced from Constantinople were the bulk of their imports, and a large amount of their silver coins were also transported to Constantinople. As a result, a group of pro-Roman groups were born.

Bohemia is now undercurrent, and all forces want to win in the next struggle. At this time, the arrival of the Roman emperor is very special. Who knows if he came to support some people? As a result, the emperor did not express his support, nor did he not say that he supported it. What is the specific way to say this? I will just say this.

This can only let the nobles and citizens guess what the emperor means. Does he support the king, or does he intend to abolish the king and sit on the throne himself. After all, now they see Mircea traveling around, and they don't believe that the emperor has no other purpose.

But in fact, the emperor did come here to travel. Either he holds a banquet today or goes hunting tomorrow, and he has a lot of fun.

This is no wonder, after all, from the Grand Duke to the Emperor, he has not gone out to play once. If he still has official business in Hungary, he is just having fun in Bohemia. If there is not enough money, let those people go to Constantinople to settle it.

In fact, there is no need to do this. Peter has asked Baptiste to take out 500,000 lei from the treasury to give it to the emperor so that he can have fun. By the way, he will also bring things that need his approval for him to sign. You can play, but approve these things first.

The emperor's tour also drives the development of the European situation. The most worried is Poland. Władysław suddenly found that he was half surrounded. From Rome to Moscow, if Bohemia comes again, he will jump into the Baltic Sea. So he must break this siege.

Moscow is already the territory of the Orthodox Church, and it is unrealistic to directly become one's own, so just support someone in the country to be the Grand Duke. For Bohemia, Sigismund is a good choice.

Because Lithuania has lost a lot of land, Vytautas has had a hard time in recent years. Although he successfully took back Kiev by taking advantage of the internal conflicts of the Cossacks, he still lost nearly one-third of the land. Under such circumstances, uniting with Poland is already the last resort.

Vytautas and Wladyslaw have repeatedly promoted the integration of the two countries, and the members of the Sejm in Krakow and Vilnius have to marry each other to strengthen themselves. In order to squeeze more money and soldiers, Vytautas promulgated the Vilnius Decree, delegating some judicial and taxation rights to local areas, and also announced that local serfs could not migrate, and landlords had the right to permanently hunt down escaped serfs.

As the last piece of land purified by Christ, Lithuania's political system is still in a backward era. Whether it is Poland or Moscow, everything in Lithuania is backward. Thanks to the marriage between Jagiellon and Anjou, otherwise he would be more backward than Rurik.

Vasily I also kept an eye on Lithuania. Although the partition treaty signed with Rome gave Kiev, he also gained a lot, including a large area of ​​land in the north and the Baltic Sea outlet, and the Scandinavian Peninsula was also assigned to him. These places are enough for him to digest for a while.

After getting Rome's promise, Vasily began to push Moscow to break away from the rule of the Golden Horde. He began to form a principality army and hired his brother-in-law, Duke Mihaly of Ukraine, as a mercenary general. The re-establishment of the Amber Road brought Rome and Moscow closer together, using the Moscow River, Volga River, Don River, and Dnieper River for trade, and the exchanges between the two sides increased further. And Roman artillery also entered Moscow's army, and this weapon would become a trick to fight nomads.

Krakow was also planning to find other countries to form an alliance against Rome. Władysław learned from Venice's lessons and began to look for those powerful countries. Aragon hated Naples and Rome because it lost Sicily and Malta. Austria also lost its access to the Adriatic Sea, and with Poland and Lithuania, there were four countries in total.

In addition, Burgundy can also be drawn into the anti-Roman alliance, as long as he can find a way to make the Duke of Burgundy think that Rome will help his mortal enemy, the Duke of Orleans. Other countries can make promises, such as letting England inherit the throne of France, letting the Papal States manage Constantinople, and letting Castile rule Greece and Naples. As long as he dares to say it, it is up to the other party to do what happens next.

By the way, Sigismund, the future Holy Roman Emperor, must also join in. Just recognize his throne of Bohemia and Hungary, and then, only Moscow will be left, and Lithuania will be wronged, so just take it all.

Talent, really talent. Let's not talk about whether these countries will join or not. With your powerful nobles and landlords, can you recruit 50,000 troops like Rome and transport supplies to the front line continuously, unless you are willing to ally with the Ottoman Mamluks, but do you dare?

Poland should solve the Teutonic first, otherwise it is really unacceptable. I know it's not easy for you, but who has an easy life in Eastern Europe? You resisted Mongolia and other nomadic forces, pagans, and all powerful forces for Western Europe.

As a result, Western Europe began to gradually recover from the tragic situation after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, and then the great voyages, the Renaissance, expansion, military explosion, and war. In Eastern Europe, only the future Russian expansion is successful, with a lot of resources, but unfortunately the temperature is too cold. In order to break through the Mediterranean, Rome must control two places, one is Suez and the other is the Persian Gulf. Only by controlling these two places can the empire truly break through successfully.

Now Rome has started the Suez Canal project, and commercial trade in the Levant and other places is expanding rapidly. It only needs to find an opportunity to make the Mamluks obedient, and this leg will be successful.
