The Eagle of Eastern Europe

News of Jobst's death also spread to other countries, and the electors were quite united. Except for the three in the north, the other six supported Sigismund as the German king.

They all knew that in order to stop the growing Berlin Alliance, Sigismund must become the German King. And he also promised to make the electors well-fed and to end the Great Schism in the Catholic Church.

Moreover, Sigismund was the son of Charles IV, and had also been the Marquis of Brandenburg and the King of Hungary. In terms of family background and ability, he could do both. is the best candidate.

Other strong candidates did not come out. Rudolf of the Palatinate was forced to declare not to participate, and Austria supported Sigismund. They all had a common goal, and only Sigismund could solve it. So they were jointly elected, and the gold coins were not easy to use.

Sigismund was finally going to avenge his shame. He was going to make those enemies, including his ex-wife, pay the price, and Hungary must be returned to his hands.

OK, very ideal. But settle the account first, don't forget that you still owe the Hanseatic League 200,000 gold coins. And seeing that he had the greatest chance of winning, the Hanseatic League directly pressed for debt, fearing that he would refuse to acknowledge the debt.

According to tradition, the new king should be elected together after all the electors arrived, but they did not do this and directly prepared for the election in Augsburg, and the time they chose was also coincidental: the elector of Brandenburg He was called back to Constantinople by his father.

Not only him, but also the consul of Novgrod, the Duke of Normandy in France, the king and his wife of Naples, and the count and wife of Pisa, son of the Duke of Romagna, all called back. I heard that the emperor had something important to announce.

The emperor's birthday is coming, so Constantinople is especially busy. Various competitions are being staged at the newly designed racecourse, and horse racing and racing that had been dormant in the past have become active again.

In order to encourage sports, the imperial government re-established horse racing competitions and encouraged cities to send teams to participate. Each team needs to defeat other towns to get tickets to compete in Constantinople. Due to the expansion of territory, the number of participating teams has increased from 24 to 32 in recent years, and the number of horse racing has increased to 64.

In a house next to the arena, many people were placing bets on their favorite teams.

"I paid 20 lei, and Smyrna defeated Constanta."

"Brother, you can only win 2 lei by betting now. Why not bet Ancyra to win Athens and get 10 lei."

Another person shook his head: "I know this, but I am from Smyrna, and I have to support my hometown even if I don't make any money."

Teams from Constanta, Iasi, Uxhall and other cities have been at the forefront many times, followed by Ancyra and Nicaea. Arenas are being rebuilt in various places, hoping to enter Constantinople to participate in the competition. , which is the highest honor.

The emperor also wanted to have fun with the people this time, and directly distributed money and food. People in the main square were receiving items, and they all expressed the highest respect to the emperor. Gifts from all over the world were poured in, and circuses and wandering performers from all over the world came to the city.

At this time, Constantinople had been basically restored after nearly ten years of reconstruction. The ruins were repaired, and Mircea ordered the construction of a new building, St. Andrew's Cathedral, to be started because he found that the cost of rebuilding Hagia Sophia would make it possible to build a new one.

"Hurry up and don't cause trouble, otherwise you will all be dead."

"Oh, hurry up and get ready. The Queen did this herself. You will feel better if it gets damaged."

The black chief eunuch held a whip and told the little eunuchs to hurry up and get everything done. Their lives could easily be pinched to death by the emperor.

The emperor is going to invite the nobles to a banquet in the palace, and they have been crazy busy these days. From meals to dancing, everything has to be arranged.

From the manager's point of view, although banquets have been held in the palace in the past, they have never been on such a scale. Even the former prime minister came, and it seemed like something big was going on.

"Your Majesty, this is the story of the founding monarch of the Tang Dynasty."

Brother Paul, who was considered to be the most knowledgeable about Eastern books in the Roman Empire, explained to Mircea the history of the founding of this country called Tang.

"This man has a good son."

This is Mircea's only evaluation. Although he stabilized the initial situation, his son's ability was too strong and he was covered up.

This also happened in the history of the Roman Empire. The founding monarch of the Antonine Dynasty disappeared after only two years in office, which made his sense of existence close to zero.

"Do you think I should learn from this person, or Diocletian?"

"Everything is subject to His Majesty's will"

Paul yelled and pushed back. If he really wanted to answer, he would probably die. But Mircea knew in her heart that her time was coming to an end.

"I hope Constantine's matter will not appear here."

Mircea has read too many stories and books about broken families. Now that he has placed his four sons across Europe, there should be no problem, right?

----Dividing line----

Wladyslaw has been in trouble recently because he gave the nobles so many rights that he cannot collect taxes from them and raise troops normally.

"Your Majesty, Constantinople is preparing to celebrate the birthday of their monarch. Do we want to express our congratulations?"

Wladyslaw was angry when he heard about Rome. How could Bartlan, an upstart, be compared with Jagiellonian, a long-established family.

Oh, what did you hear? Jagiellonian is older than Bartlan. If I remember correctly, you founded the Jagiellonian dynasty, and it was only founded when Grand Duke Mircea succeeded to the throne as Grand Duke of Wallachia. If you include your father's dynasty, it can't compare. Bartland was established at the end of the 13th century, more than 20 years earlier than you.

Before, Wladyslaw looked down on Wallachia just because of the vast territory and strength of Poland and Lithuania, but now the status is directly reversed. A Wallachia would directly become the Roman Empire. Not only would its status be higher than his, but its population would not be of the same level. In other words, the territory can be compared.

"Your Majesty, Rome is now eyeing Lithuania, and Moscow has also been eyeing our land since it got rid of its shackles. We need an ally to help us." Great Hetman Linus Lichtschlak suggested to the king that the two countries Directly bordering the border, if reform cannot be achieved, the only option is to find an ally to help.

"To put it simply, who has the strength to help us now?"

Linus thought for a while, then slowly spoke.

"Sigismund, Duke of Luxembourg, he can be our ally."

Throughout Europe, only Sigismund had the power to confront Rome. Whether he was facing a divided France or Castile who was planning to conquer Granada, Sigismund had resources that they could not match.

There was no better choice at the moment, so Wladyslaw slowly said the word "OK". Whatever it is, Poland must not be defeated.
