The inner city is full of dignitaries and nobles surrounding the palace, so the houses are naturally wider than those of the outer city and much more exquisite. After turning around, we finally arrived at the square of Sophia Cathedral.

When approaching the cathedral, the people around Qitad had already put on a military cap made of golden wheat ears and national emblem, and there were also epaulettes with gold thread on the coat, and there was nothing else.

His hat is obviously specially made, and there is a layer of equipment similar to a bulletproof vest inside the hat, which is quite heavy to wear.

As an emperor of a country, he naturally could not wear a bullet bag on his chest. On the left side of his waist was a command knife with gold and jade inlay, and on the right side was a new pistol with ten bullets.

He was holding the capital-pulling stick left by the sweat of the slaughter.

At the entrance of the square, Qitad met two people.

Hamid I, fifty-two, saw him wearing a thick, tall white silk turban with a golden crown. He was wearing a pink cotton jacket outside his white silk robe, with a thick beard. His dark beard complemented by the pink cotton jacket below.

Joseph II is only 36 years old this year, wearing a white tight cotton coat, wearing a very precious red mink coat, without a beard, and wearing a white instant noodles wig.

Both of them also hold scepters that symbolize their own power, and it seems that they are all made of gold.

At this time, Qitade had naturally walked to the front. Compared with these two, he looked a bit alternative in his military uniform.

Compared with these two people, they are tall and straight, with a little wrinkle, short hair and short beards, which makes people almost unable to see that their age is obviously the strongest feeling of oppression.

At the entrance of Sofia Cathedral Square, three powerful figures from Eastern and Central Europe met.

This is the first time that three people have met.

For Qitad, the portraits of these two people had been hanging in his study for a long time, but for Joseph II and Hamid I, it was the first time that he saw the founding emperor who is now awesome to the entire world.

At this time, Latin was popular throughout Europe. Because of his long-term friendship with France, even Hamid I learned Latin, so the three of them started to communicate in Latin here.

From Qitad's perspective, he obviously wanted to get some information from the performance of these two people. When Hamid I saw him, he was a little surprised, and then put his right hand on his chest and bowed to him, while Joseph II just nodded.

There is no sign of any turmoil in these two people's eyes.

This is a bit strange. Joseph II is the winner. It is not surprising to have this expression, but how could Hamid I, as the loser, have such virtues?

He should have fear.

It seems that he is not here to attend the surrender ceremony, but to attend the tripartite talks.

There were two people standing behind Hamid I. After Hamid I introduced it, I learned that one of them was Damufti in Ottoman costumes, and the other one with very different costumes was the Patriarch who was responsible for all the Orthodox Christians of the Ottoman Empire.

After the Ottoman Empire took over the territory and population of the Eastern Roman Empire, it was obviously ready to inherit everything from the Eastern Roman Empire, including the Orthodox Church. Although the Sultan changed the Sophia Cathedral to the Islamic temple, the Orthodox Church was still allowed to exist, but their great patriarchs needed to appoint them themselves.

It is said that in the Sophia Cathedral, the Ottomans covered and modified most of the things, but they still left some oil paintings and reliefs with Orthodox colors, including reliefs like "Salute Hagia Sophia to the Virgin", as well as huge oil paintings by famous emperors and couples of the Roman Empire.

It seems that Joseph II knew all this and decided to change the surrendered place to this place.

The Truqin Empire's intelligence chief overseas is mostly equipped with the title of chief military officer in a certain country, and now Ahsan is naturally accompanied by Qitad.

The one who accompanied Joseph II was his Foreign Minister Konitz!

The three of them chatted for a while, and they saw Hamid I saying, "Your Majesty, the cathedral space is limited and can only accommodate two thousand people. I just discussed with His Majesty Joseph II, and each family can only bring 300 soldiers into the cathedral."

"The rest are waiting in the big square"

Qitad nodded, but he understood when he brought the guards into the main square.

One thousand Jenicheri, one thousand Austrian Guards have occupied most of the square and only left the middle position. On the surface, it seems to be respect for Truchen, but if an accident occurs, these two troops can easily double-team the Guards.

Qitade didn't say anything, and took the guards regiment to line up in the open space in the middle.

During this period, Giseyn yelled at the sound of rectifying the team, which made the Austrian troops on both sides open their eyes.

The One Thousand Guards Regiment took only three minutes to form a scrupulous formation, and the first battalion, which was about to follow Qitad into the cathedral, was at the front.

The battalion commander of the first battalion is Wu Liji. He means blessing in Mongolian. He is the son of Qitade's confidant and secretary of the Privy Council. He is only twenty-two years old this year.

The Batu family was actually assigned by Lash to Qitade to serve his slaves. Batu's mother Saren'erji was also Qitade's wet nurse. With this relationship, Batu actually handled all the affairs of the Imperial Interior Department.

Batu strongly requested to send Wuliji to the Guards.

It is said that Uliji did not have this name before. When he was six years old, he followed his family to hunt in the Kazakh prairie. He encountered a rare storm. At the age of six, he got separated from his family and finally found him six days later.

At this time, he was already hundreds of miles away.

According to his own words, he met a mother and son of wild camels, who kept following them. He ate camel milk when he was hungry. The female camel did not refuse and survived.

Such things are naturally called wonders on the grassland, and he is also praised as a "blessed person". According to Batu, letting the blessed Wuliji enter the Guards Group can bring blessings to Qitade.

Wuliji also graduated from Elista Military Academy and graduated as an excellent student. Qitade naturally could not refuse Batu's statement, not to mention Wuliji himself is also excellent.

At that moment, Qitad, Joseph II, and Hamid I each took three hundred people to the steps of the cathedral. Qitad, Uliji and Ahesan walked in the front.

At the beginning are naturally those two religious leaders.

When he walked towards the cathedral, Qitad was basically aware of the Austrian army and Jenicheri's armed forces.

The Austrians still used flintlock rifles, which looked like they were rear-mounted. Just like other European countries, their flintlock rifles were extremely exquisitely built, and as the Royal Guard, they were no exception. The red oak was carved with various patterns and the gun body was also polished brightly.

The bayonet was also put on in advance, wearing red high-tube hats and red wool coats, and there were white tight short suits inside.

Jenicheri also has a high-top hat, but she is hung with a white shawl, a mid-length red and green robe, blue-brown trousers, and high-top leather boots.

They also had flintlock rifles in their hands, but the gun body was slender, and they obviously used the essence of the Lumi gun to be installed on the flintlock rifle. Such a slender barrel obviously cannot be rifled, it can only be smooth-bore projectiles.

Whether it is the Austrian Guards or Jenicheri, except for the muskets in their hands, they all carry sabers and jars for placing ammunition at their waists.

Compared with the purged Truchen Guards, it looks much bloated.

The cathedral has a huge space, and in fact, it is more than 2,000 people standing there. Under the light from the dome that is more than 50 meters high, it looks even more spacious and distant.

The dome naturally symbolizes God, the sky, and after the Ottomans took over, they also inlaid the stars and moon patterns and some lighting on it. When the three teams came in, all the luminous things in the hall were lit up, making it look like daytime.

After entering inside, Qitad's team was still in the middle, with the Austrians on the left and the Ottomans on the right.

There is a large round table directly under the dome, covered with a layer of dark red velvet cloth, next to the round table are three chairs, and paper and pen are placed on the table near each chair.

According to the previous negotiations between the three parties, this was an agreement drafted by the Ottomans and agreed upon by the other two parties. The general idea was how to divide the territory. Naturally, the Austrians obtained European territory except for the entire Istanbul region, and the Truchens obtained the Istanbul region centered on the Ottoman Strait.

All the Ottomans retreated to the Anatolian Plateau. Once the agreement was signed, the Truchens persuaded the Persians to withdraw their troops, but the Persians retained the provinces of Baghdad and the Vancheng.

A congress without Persians, it seems that in the eyes of the Austrians and Ottomans, the Persians must have been the only one who was ordered by the Truqins.

Qitade was secretly amused. At this time, there was a red-bottomed and gold-edged cloak behind him. He swung his cloak and sat up at the seat in the center.

Joseph II and Hamid I took the seat one after another.

Islamic Mufti, the Orthodox Patriarch, began a lengthy prayer and speech, which was nothing more than "This is the will of God/Allah. After signing the agreement, the three families will be completely reconciled and will never violate each other again, and so on."

Just as the ancient Chinese imperial edicts explained some high-sounding nonsense before the main theme, prayers and speeches in the Western world are corresponding nonsense, and then an agreement can be signed "in the name of God".

The final speech was conducted by the white-haired Great Mufti, whose voice revealed the desolation and helplessness of the loser. When he spoke the last word in Turkic language, the desolation and helplessness instantly filled the entire hall.

At this time, a ray of sunshine broke free from the shackles of the dark clouds and shone down, then illuminated the entire dome. The light just fell on the round table, illuminating the faces of the three people present.

"Dong..."

The bells of Sophia Cathedral rang, it is exactly ten o'clock in the morning.

Everything is as usual.

But Qitad met someone.
Chapter completed!
