This is just a very strange occupation. Two powerful Arab troops from afar were stationed outside the city, if they were not on the ship and could not go to the city at all. Could it be that this is really because of that letter?

In fact, readers know that this city has an agreement with Pope Innocent IV. It can be said that the two armies that came from afar have received rewards in the early robbery, and the things here basically have nothing to do with them at this moment.

Of course, they would not hand over the city directly to Pope Innocent IV. I believe that if these two armies do not leave, the Pope would not dare to come here, so both sides were waiting for Zhao Fuxiaoyi's reaction. As for Zhao Fubo's plan, of course, he would sort out the scholars in the entire Byzantine Empire and the wealth here. The Holy See was a little worried about this. The archbishop who came to the Pope's letter and the surrender did not leave here.

He was also looking forward to Zhao Fubo's arrival. He was still an acquaintance. He was the bishop of Genoa, Bardoromay. He once fought a decisive battle with the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II in Turin in the Holy Roman Emperor. After Zhao Fubo led the "Chinese Yulin Army" at that time to arrive, the situation on the entire battlefield completely changed due to the Spanish army at that time, and the Holy Church had to sign a city alliance with Zhao Fubo.

When the Pope arrived at Cyprus, he truly felt what kind of force he was fighting against. Cyprus is an important ship supply point in the Mediterranean. Because there was such a problem in the Age of Discovery that often plagued merchants. That is, what is the ratio of goods to supplies on a boat when it arrives at its destination. First, there are more people operating the ship in an equivalent amount, and second, the load capacity of the ship is also very limited.

Then when the "whale-class rapid transport ship" appeared, it became the target of rushing purchases by many parties. Unfortunately, the sale of such fast sailboats was only sold to their own allies. Moreover, the allies of the "Huaxia Empire" were very serious about this matter. As kings, they all understood how much profit would bring to their own merchant fleets. However, this would not prevent merchants from trying their best to make money.

Therefore, the European powers represented by French Emperor Louis IX and Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II took the lead in bringing artillery to this "big whale-class rapid transport ship" and then formed a large fleet with ordinary merchant ships to conduct long-range commercial transactions. This avoided the leakage of technical secrets of the Chinese Empire and also increased their royal income. Because these large fleets were led by the royal family and then formed private equity. The shareholders also needed to pay a certain protection fee to the state as a escort fee. Such benefits would create a scale effect, and even supplies could be loaded on one ship, and other ships could be fully loaded with cargo.

It is also worth noting that Europeans are keen on technology after all. This is still caused by their "traditional culture". After all, they are not more likely to gather into large families because of their agricultural civilization. Therefore, many European ships have begun to consider using animal power drive systems when they are built. Although they do not understand physics and cannot create such large marine propellers, paddle steamers can be created.

This will certainly reduce the efficiency of that drive system, but in the eyes of merchants, a faster speed will save a lot of time on the round-trip voyage, and this is money. If others don’t understand, then the merchants in Venice and Genoa will understand too much. Those who cannot get ships rely on visiting on those ships and then imitate them. However, these ships are only shipped in some markets that are not the “Huaxia Empire” allies.

But in the end, it proved that because of the development of Mediterranean commercial civilization, Europeans had special hobbies for efficiency and technology. This was far from the Song Dynasty at that time, the Ming Dynasty later, and the Qing Dynasty in the future. Now with the "Huaxia Empire", naturally those countries have no chance to be established. At least because the Qing Dynasty was the Later Jin people, with the establishment of the "Huaxia Empire", the Jin people would die quite thoroughly, at least the Mongols would not leave the Jin people's heads because of their own heads. At least responsible, the Qing Dynasty would never appear.

These changes were seen by Pope Innocent IV on the island of Cyprus. Even through the discussion here, he also knew the initial grudge between Zhao Fu and Louis IX and Count Artois. It was not until this time that he understood why when the Holy See was attacked, the devout "perfect monster" of French Emperor Louis IX did not speak to stop him.

"I'm so stupid. I actually believed that bastard, if it weren't for him..."

This was something I saw on the island of Cyprus, which made Pope Innocent IV completely change his plans. Yes, it was completely changed. He would no longer fight against the "Huaxia Empire". If he asked what he saw here, it would be a very difficult thing if he wanted to attack today. The army here, as an ally of the Huaxia Empire, naturally also has advanced firearms.

However, the local area was smaller and the army was smaller. After accepting Pope Innocent IV, they obtained the "Qinhuang Amp" class warships to form their own navy. Moreover, the "Qinhuang Amp" class warships at that time were still equipped with the "Flying Swallow III type crossbow". Now, when they sent special envoys and carried the special envoys of Pope Innocent IV to celebrate the establishment of the Shangri-La time, they were also guaranteed. That is, the Chinese Empire would sell them the "Hell Messenger" type naval guns, which were front-mounted cannons modified from the "Hell Messenger" type field cannons.

All these changes made Pope Innocent IV decide that the Holy See should first cooperate with the "Huaxia Empire" as much as possible. As for others, let's wait until others can beat the "Huaxia Army".

It is precisely because of this that Genoa's bishop Bartolomay was sent to Constantinople. His first priority here was not to assist in resistance but to persuade surrender. Even the reason why Zhao Fubo mentioned in the surrender book was that he wanted to try his best to maintain the Roman-rich city of Constantinople.

This threat is naturally something that King Baibls Bendugadari and Sultan Azam Tulansha had to consider. It was precisely because of their consideration that this strange occupation occurred.
