Chapter 508 Peace Treaty

Sigismund changed his clothes in the castle and wiped off the blood on his body. Even if he was the loser, he had to show his best side to the enemy.

In the early morning of the next day, Sigismund went to the Roman camp with his guards. He was wearing gorgeous clothes and a king's crown, which he had made overnight after his election, and now it came in handy here.

Peter welcomed the German king in front of the camp. Originally, he should have been supreme. After becoming the Holy Roman Emperor, he had been committed to suppressing the Bohemian uprising, but now he could only meet him here, a person who did not exist in history, and as a loser.

The two met. Sigismund was 42 years old and Peter was over 30 years old. They hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, and they really missed each other.

"Long time no see, dear friend."

"Yes, long time no see."

Peter hugged Sigismund. As the two people with the biggest titles in Europe met, they must leave something that could change history.

"Back then, I was hunted by the Ottomans, and you received me. I promised that I would make you the governor of Transylvania in the future. Now it seems that you have done it."

Sigismund looked at the army here, and then at Peter. It was a pity that such an excellent person was not a member of their Luxembourg family.

"We all have different ideas and status, but now, are you convinced?"

Sigismund nodded, "Your country has changed so much in ten years, I really admire it."

The two exchanged greetings and started today's negotiations, which only targeted the Holy Roman Empire, Poland and Iberia were excluded.

"Regarding the conditions you proposed, Florence and Siena can belong to you, and Switzerland needs Austria to join in the discussion, after all, they still have fiefdoms in Switzerland. But Milan, Savoy and Genoa are my last bottom line, don't interfere."

Milan, Savoy and Genoa, as the only territory of the Holy Roman Empire in Italy, must not be lost. If they are not lost, they can also transport and transmit messages with Iberia by sea, and their importance can be imagined.

"If you can recognize the existing sphere of influence of the empire, then we can cease fire. In exchange, I will also help you negotiate with my brother. He has been fighting well with Denmark recently and has taken over many places."

Sigismund immediately said: "I can recognize Brandenburg's sphere of rule, but they must also make a promise not to continue to accept new members."

The Berlin Alliance is developing too fast. If it continues to be left alone, it will definitely become a big worry. That's why he told Peter about this.

"About this, if you electors don't provoke him, I think he will be happy to agree."

But Peter returned to the topic of Switzerland. "Switzerland must be independent, and the fiefdoms and claims of the Habsburgs must be abandoned. No one can stop the independence of Switzerland."

Peter will not retreat on this issue. Switzerland has proved his loyalty in diplomacy and military affairs, and he must take it over. Isn't there the fiefdom and claims of the Habsburgs? Just give him somewhere else and give him some compensation.

It's easy to say, but the Count of Tyrol here will not give up. This is all he has left, otherwise he won't let go. However, Peter gave up immediately when he was offered 10,000 lei as compensation. After all, he was not as strong as the Swiss farmers, so he might as well sell them.

As for the compensation, this should be the fastest to negotiate. Peter took a step back and agreed to 1.5 million lei. Sigismund also readily agreed. John was also present. Although he was a little dissatisfied, he still agreed. This was much better than paying ransom for being captured by the Ottomans before.

German King Sigismund Luxembourg and Roman Emperor Peter Bartram signed an armistice agreement on the outskirts of Mainz. Florence and Siena belonged to Rome, Switzerland became independent, and the Holy Roman Empire needed to pay Rome 1.5 million lei.

In addition, Stephen was recognized as the King of England and the existence of the Berlin Alliance. After that, Rome and the Holy Roman Empire were not allowed to intervene in the wars of any country. The treaty was valid for ten years and negotiations were held when it expired.

Before Sigismund left, Peter specifically showed him a military training, including exercises of infantry, artillery, and cavalry. This left a deep impression on Sigismund. These armies that had invested huge energy in the early stage would later become a lot of returns.

Peter began to withdraw his army, and the anti-Roman coalition army was disbanded on the spot. All soldiers began to go home. Although the Duke of Burgundy did not suffer much loss, he was still greatly shocked by the strength of the Roman army, and he had to go back to reorganize.

The Roman army withdrew from Milan and Genoa, leaving some people to garrison Pisa, and the rest were all sent to Iberia for support.

At this time, Iberia had turned upside down. After a thousand years, the news that the Roman army came to Iberia again and captured Seville spread to Madrid and Lisbon. The originally disbanded army regrouped, but Granada attacked from other directions, disturbing them.

After occupying Seville, Stanisa continued to attack the surrounding areas. Those nobles and Catholics fought desperately, but the Moors helped them transport supplies and join the army. After occupying Seville, Roman merchant ships were able to come here, expanding the scope of transportation.

Since it was not possible at sea, they attacked on land. Castile and Aragon joined forces to go south together, preparing to destroy Granada together. They are an invincible army blessed by God and will definitely succeed.

The Duke of Orleans received the news of the peace treaty on the way and knew that the war was over, so he hurried back to Paris and prepared to completely control the government. With the Gascony region, the Duke of Orleans became more powerful. He began to prepare to exclude the Duke of Burgundy, and England might help him.

But John didn't know the other party's little thoughts, and directly ordered the army to advance to Paris, trying to use war to compete with the Orleans faction. He also asked William to go to Genoa to prepare to order a large number of firearms and imitate Rome to form a firearms army.

Other electors also went home. Religious princes such as Mainz suffered heavy losses in the war. Their soldiers were lost in the war with Rome. The same was true for the electors such as Saxony and Palatinate. Especially Saxony, the Roman soldiers chased them and fought, and they were almost annihilated. But the elector did not expect that before the war, the Roman soldiers were told that as long as they caught the badge with half sword and half green crown, they would have 50 silver lei. The more you catch, the more rewards you get. The badge was shown to the soldiers, and then things got out of control. That's how the Saxon soldiers died.
