Chapter 146 Little Warning

The 50 warships were equipped with a total of 500 artillery pieces. (_《》) Their power was huge when they opened fire, and even when they fired salvos, the warships would move backwards. While the artillery was bombarded, the infantrymen used rope nets from the ship to the small boat to land on the beach. Then they controlled the passage to Constantinople from land, and at the same time, the infantry of the Syrian army of Azam Tulansha Sultan, who landed on the other side, also approached Constantinople.

The strict siege in both directions made the crusaders in the city and the people of the Byzantine Empire panic all day long. They asked for help from Pope Innocent IV, who formed the new "Knights Templars", and everyone thought that if anyone could save Constantinople, then the only pope would be the only one. Because everyone had heard that he had a very good friendship with the emperor from China, who was called "Aladdin-Akkad Great". Otherwise, His Highness would not have taken him to Cyprus with him when the Holy See's army was defeated in Europe.

Moreover, during this period, he was not idle when he was in Cyprus. After all, Christian churches all over the world were still his sphere of influence. After arriving here, Pope Innocent IV quickly re-established his authority. Not only did the Holy Roman Empire, but also England, France and all European countries. Correspondingly, the tithes collected from Europe began to fill his warehouses again.

Moreover, because of the "Agreement" with Zhao Fubo, European powerful countries have begun to publicly support the Pope's interference in certain aspects of the secular world. For example, because they support the "Inquisition" controlled by the Pope, the Pope's control over the kings of various countries has decreased, and he has the right to declare the king's candidates and no longer has the right to decide. Of course, such preferential policies are only qualified for the allies of the "Huaxia Empire" in Europe.

It is precisely because of these rights that all Pope Innocent IV once again had a huge amount to organize his new "Knights Templar". However, the Knights at this moment are no longer a combination of knight spears and knight swords. It is completely equipped with muslan cavalry and will also become the main armed force of the future sacred kingdom. As for the sacred kingdom, it is just a European part of the Byzantine Empire and a small part of Asia.

The reason for this distribution is that Zhao Fubo would never allow ethnic groups like the Turks that may be unfriendly to the "Huaxia Empire" in the future. I believe that with the Holy See, the Holy See will easily destroy that nation. Moreover, that land, across the Black Sea to the north is the Chincha Khanate, Syria to the east is the papal's sacred country.

For the Turks, running is not a way, and not running is not a way! If you want to talk about the ownership of Xinjiang with the "Huaxia Empire" for hundreds of years, then they will now be destroyed. In the midst of the three forces of the Holy Church, the Chincha Khanate and the Kingdom of Syria, I believe that it will not take many years to find their traces, and archaeologists will need to work hard.

In such a state, Pope Innocent IV made the following statement to the Byzantine Empire and the crusaders there

“… As you know, the Egyptians were besieging Cyprus, and our strength was firmly restrained here. Although our Knights Templars were formed quite smoothly, there were insufficient warships and transport ships. So I thought of a great monarch in this world, who was the Emperor from the East.

Aladdin - Although Emperor Akkad has an Arabic name, he is actually a fair attitude towards us and Arab religion. Personally, I believe he will preside over justice in this matter. It is just that because this Majesty is engaged in another war, he cannot get out of here for the time being. However, as long as time allows, I promise that the Chinese army will definitely help us, and I will lead the new Templars to Constantinople to help you fight the attack of the Arabs!”

These discerning people should understand that it is just a reason to make excuses. Ask, Pope Innocent IV wanted to establish a country that belonged to the Holy See. How could he want the secular monarchs there? And at this time, the agreement had been secretly formed in the European conference, and he could not change anything by himself. Therefore, although Christians in Constantinople will suffer losses in this war, as for Pope Innocent IV, a powerful Holy See will definitely appear under his control in the future. So it is natural to sacrifice some people now.

When the defenders of Constantinople, under the siege of Egypt and Syria and were sieged and bombarded by Egyptian and Syrian troops, received a letter from the archbishop as the envoy sent by Pope Innocent IV, they knew that they had been abandoned by all the monarchs in Europe and Europe. The walls of Constantinople had turned into rubble under the combined two fleets of up to 700 naval guns, and the army's up to 500 artillery guns day and night.

Although the shells did not fly into the city and did not damage the buildings with a strong Roman flavor from the beginning of the Byzantine Empire. But everyone knows that war has no meaning to them anymore. The choice now is nothing more than to either guard the last ruins of the Roman civilization for a desperate battle or face the surrender of the powerful Arab legion.

Moreover, some smart people have begun to doubt the relationship between Egypt, Syria and the "Chinese Empire". But this matter was quickly stopped by the big men in the city. They are not lower-class people, and they understand what "political" needs are. Because under the continuous bombardment of Egypt and Syrian troops, they have already planned to surrender. However, after analyzing the current situation, these bureaucrats have done what some people have done.

Not long after, two letters of surrender were given to King Baibls Bendugadari and Sultan Azam Tulansha.

"We declare our surrender, but as the owners of Constantinople, we beg you not to destroy this city. I believe that His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, who is very interested in ancient Roman civilization, will not be happy that you did that. Therefore, we can lead all the troops out of the city to surrender, but I hope that both of you will not enter this city!"
