Chapter 411: Venice Rebellion

"Who is this Glyndwr?"

Peter asked the ministers, and one who was familiar with England answered immediately. ׺°"˜˜`"°º×

"Your Highness, Glyndwr is the self-proclaimed King of Wales in recent years. The battles with England have been won and lost, but it has reached the end of the road."

Glyndwr has been self-proclaimed Prince of Wales for 8 years, and has been fighting guerrilla warfare with Henry IV in recent years. Some local people in Wales also support him. At present, Glyndwr uses Cardiff as his base to continue to compete with England.

"Since they live too peacefully, it's not impossible to make England scream."

What Kingdom of England, what Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, just change the name to the Union of Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Abbreviated as Solvay.

And Burgundy, a country destined to disappear should not cause trouble. Be obedient.

In this European spy capital comparable to Tianjin, Rome needs to guard against death and release false information to protect the survival of the empire. If there is a spy game in the future, Constantinople will definitely be the final place.

The newlywed Stefan gets the opportunity to spend his honeymoon with his wife. They will first go to Lyon, then go north along the Royal and Paris. If everything goes well, Charles VI will give him a new position.

The three younger brothers all have their own positions and powers. As the eldest brother, what Peter needs is to help them gain a foothold abroad.

Don't think that the Habsburg family will be invincible in the future. Now it is the Bartram family that has the upper hand.

With this spy infiltration, Mircea can use this reason to ask the government for money to expand the palace. The glory here should be reproduced from the documents and other materials of the ancient Roman period. At the same time, Mircea is also building palaces in Bucuriesti and Nicaea. As an emperor, he naturally has to live better.

At the same time, the defense of the entire city must be strengthened, and the number of patrolling soldiers has increased to 13,000. For a time, the city was in a state of panic, and all spies dared not act rashly.

In addition to spying, the anti-Roman alliance is also committed to inciting some people in the country to fight against the government. In recent years, the empire's national strength has continued to increase, and some people in the conquered lands have also felt exhausted, because the treatment they received was too different from the previous one.

The most troublesome are the Venetians, Croats and some Turks. They lived very well in Croatia and the Republic of Venice. Now they are conquered by Rome and their lives are getting worse day by day.

Although their income remains unchanged, they have lost their so-called freedom. They have no parliament, and all orders are issued directly from Constantinople and forced through without their discussion. Such a tyrannical government must be overthrown.

There are riots in Illyria and Dalmatia every year, and local officials just snap the matter. At the same time, it also guides some people to become people who can only rely on Rome to live. They live better, convert to Orthodox Christianity and learn Romanian, and some people pass the exam to become bureaucrats.

You know, the contradiction between local tyrants and bureaucrats who rely on Rome is irreconcilable. Although Peter cleaned up the area, there were still some fish that slipped through the net and made trouble there. In addition, the bureaucrats exploited the local people in order to gain political achievements and promotion.

In cities such as Salage, Venice, and Verona, the taxes borne by the people were twice the amount stipulated by Rome. The local church also had no good face for these heretics, and the Catholic Church was finding it increasingly difficult to survive.

"Sir, this year's taxes have been paid."

"Well"

The mayor of Venice made policy plans in the newly established town hall. Under his governance, Venice's tax revenue increased by more than three times. If all goes well, he will be able to be transferred to other places next year.

Just then, there was a commotion outside. And it was not small.

"What's going on? Who is making trouble?"

Before the mayor finished speaking, a stone was thrown in. Then more and more stones.

"Kill the mayor"

"Long live Venice! Long live the Republic!"

The shouts, one higher than the other, almost lifted the house. Some soldiers went up to stop them, and the people directly fought with them.

Although the soldiers were good at fighting, they were outnumbered and the gate of the town hall was breached.

The leader led the people to the office and looked at the huge crowd. The mayor was furious. "Domenico, what are you doing?"

A well-dressed man came out, wearing the red hat of the Governor of the Republic of Venice.

"As you can see, sir. The people can't stand the tyranny of Constantinople, and they have decided to rebel."

The mayor was furious when he heard the news, "You are treason."

"No, this is for all the people of Venice. Rome destroyed the Republic inhumanely, but its people have not forgotten the glory of the Republic. One day they will rebuild it, and now, the time has come."

After saying this, Domenico looked at the mayor again. "It's a pity that you, a traitor of Venice, will not see this day."

Then the angry people rushed up and threw the mayor and two secretaries out of the third-floor window. And there were densely packed people standing below, and the poor mayor died just like that.

Dominic stood on the windowsill and declared the independence of the Republic of Venice.

"People, Venice will not succumb to any regime. Her glory will not be forgotten. Power can be suppressed for a while, but this place belongs to all Venetians after all."

The confidence they had in taking action was that they had made sufficient preparations. Not only had the garrison in the city been resolved, but a lot of food and supplies were also prepared. Moreover, the intelligence network was also ready. If the uprising in Venice was successful, other places would follow suit.

Dominic appointed himself as the 64th governor of the Republic of Venice and announced the re-establishment of the Republic of Venice. He also formed a small government of 10 people, distributed weapons, and all men had to fight. He restored Latin and Catholicism, confiscated Roman land, and prepared to ask Milan for help.

After the rebellion in Venice, major towns such as Verona, Padua, Treviso, Belluno, Rovigo, and Vicenza broke out in rebellion one after another. Only the rebellion in Trieste was suppressed, and the mayor sent people to find reinforcements and report the situation to Constantinople.

After all the towns revolted, their representatives all came to Venice. Since the Great Council had been dismantled and could only meet in the theater, they declared that the Council was an institution representing all the Venetian people and formally sought recognition and assistance from other countries. A new rebellion began.
