Chapter 551 Peace
"Father, he's awake."
Hus slowly opened his eyes. Everything that happened before seemed to be a dream. But where he was now told him that none of this was a dream.
"You're awake." The priest came over. "You fainted after knocking on the door this morning. Don't worry, you will be well taken care of here."
Huss calmed down, he was safe now. According to the map, he had arrived in Brno.
As the center of Moravia, Brno has become the center of the Orthodox Church. The local Catholic Church was helpless. They also wanted to unite with the nobles, but they were driven out by the other party and the local citizens.
Wenzel followed suit and announced that Brno would be granted free city status. A committee of 25 people was elected locally to govern, two-thirds of which were Orthodox Christians and one-third were believers influenced by Hussites.
Facts have proved that their cooperation indeed managed Brno in an orderly manner. At the same time, the convening of the Constance Conference made them understand that the Catholic Church would counterattack at any time, so they formed a defense team. Keep an eye on the attack of the Catholic aristocratic forces at any time.
Hus rested for a few days and felt much better. He also explained his identity to the priest. After learning that the other party was the famous Hus, the priest quickly contacted the mayor of Brno. The fact that he ran back showed that it was time for the Catholic Church to counterattack.
When the Hussites learned that Huss had arrived in Brno, they all went to the church to see him. The crowd surrounded the church, and Hus appeared in front of them after getting ready.
The crowd cheered, and Hus prepared himself to address his followers. Although he hated to do so, the Catholic Church drove him to the edge.
“In Konstanz, there is a huge conspiracy going on, and those corrupt people, the corrupt church, in order to maintain their own status, are obliterating any belief in God because they do not allow other voices to be heard.
I thought they could hear us, but we were proven wrong, the only thing they could hear was the sound of weapons. We must use our own strength to create a kingdom with our own hands. "
Hus' words aroused everyone's emotions. Since the other party is ruthless, don't blame them for taking action.
The Orthodox Archbishop of Brno also reached a cooperation agreement with Hus. Both parties recognized each other's existence and delineated their sphere of influence after Bohemia was pacified.
Brno and the surrounding area were quickly taken under control, and Hussite gathered his men, who numbered 2,000 men plus the Orthodox troops. They now need to attack quickly and strive to reach Prague westward.

At this time in Constance, the Archbishop of Mainz was grandly welcomed by Sigismund. He invited him and his entourage to hold a banquet at his residence and personally accompanied him.
The meeting at this time had come to an end, the new Pope Martin V had been elected, and there were still some differences in the papal residence, so after the matter was generally completed, Sigismund began to discuss other matters with the Imperial Prime Minister.
"My Lord Bishop." Sigismund called him affectionately and said in a deep voice: "Last night at Rupert's banquet, you said something right, 'Although Rome has gained many places and is powerful, Now they also need to recuperate, and I heard that they are also sending fleets to sail eastward to explore our unknown land... Next time, Rome comes back, and its power will definitely be stronger than this time, but the empire is limited to this land. "The territory will not increase much unless it expands outwards!"
Sigismund had discussed this issue with him many times. Of course he knew where the other party's expansion goals were, but he still reminded him worriedly: "It's just that now we also need to recuperate, and your territory is not enough to command the whole country. "
"It doesn't matter, just get Bohemia. I just didn't expect to let Hus run away."
"Romania is indeed developing rapidly, and it increases by one point every year. I have studied Romania carefully, and I have to say that Mircea and Peter are very good at dealing with pagans. Some of our methods are still learned from them. With their current rise At this speed, the Arabs in the east of Romania may not be able to stop their expansion. Their power will continue to spread outward until they own the entire Europe. What will happen to our country? Will we become their vassal?" Sigismund said! Lu Hanguang clenched his fists, waved them hard, and said in a firm and tough tone: "We must unite all forces and use the strength of the whole country to fight them decisively."
"Are we still talking about non-aggression with Romania?" the other party asked again.
"Talk, why not talk! A non-aggression treaty of friendship can be signed, which will just make them relax their vigilance!"
"And... the negotiations with France need to be accelerated... uh..." Sigismund paced back and forth, thinking over and over again, and finally he made up his mind: "We can give them the land west of Alsace. , but they must pay a large purchase amount, open the market to us, and provide fair wheat trade. At the same time, they must sign a longer-term peace treaty. This is roughly what it means. I will send people to negotiate as soon as possible. !”

In the north at this time, Vlad had signed a peace treaty with the other party. The treaty stipulated that the Teutons ceded Western Pomerania, including Danzig, to Brandenburg. At the same time, compensation of 200,000 lei is required.
The signing of the peace treaty marked the complete end of the war in Europe and the countries entered a period of peace.
After taking over Western Pomerania, Brandenburg began construction without stopping. This most backward country among the electors has its own outlet to the sea, so it is natural to make good use of it.
"Brandenburg's trade is becoming more and more prosperous, and the territory of Dionia is also expanding rapidly. We need a strong fleet to protect our maritime trade and prevent our long coastline from being attacked by the enemy fleet and our ports from being blocked by enemy warships!"
"That's right! We need a strong navy to protect the security of the alliance!" As soon as Vlad said this, others agreed.
"Don't worry, my lords, Prussia is willing to provide naval ships and sailors for the alliance." The leader of the Prussian Alliance said.
"In this case, I will also personally send a letter to Moscow to let them export wood at a preferential price."
Everyone was naturally happy when Vlad said this. Because once the other party made a move, it would definitely be stable. The Grand Duke of Moscow and the elector are from the same family. For the sake of their relatives, the other party will definitely agree, and their costs can be reduced.
