Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

v5 Chapter 82: Friends of Prato and Friends of Friends

Prato tried to make himself seem calm, at least on the surface.

He felt that he could deal with these barbarians from the East. In his opinion, these Ottomans had no other skills except to use a knife and a gun, but in view of the small life in the hands of others, Prato ’s face was still exposed. A submissive look.

The reason Prato fell into the hands of the Ottomans was purely because of greed.

When he first arrived in the Balkans, Prato was completely stunned by the local “wealthy”.

This is not to say that Balkan farmers are really rich in oil, but because of the rich copper mines here, the prices of copper wares that are regarded as treasures in other places are surprisingly low, even if they are in a family with a better family. There will be one or two objects that are taken, which in Prato's view these Balkans are simply sitting on the Golden Mountain all day but don't know how to use them.

So while he was eating and drinking in Bucharest and even got to the king's table, he sprinkled the horses and went to the country to desperately collect all the copper objects that he could receive.

Prato was not very clear about Alexander ’s idea, but he could vaguely guess that it should be related to the increasingly popular copper price transaction in Europe.

Prato has always been obsessed with his frustrating defeat in buying and selling bronzes, and now he has the opportunity to participate in the huge vortex that stirs up the price of copper in Europe. He feels an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

Because of this, Prato was finally dissatisfied with the small incidents in the neighborhood, and his eyes turned to every town and village in the entire Balkans.

War is good, this is the conclusion that Prato made after walking through the village through the streets with a group of men.

Because of worries about the future, many people began to sell their properties to avoid wars, and the bulky and useless bronzes became items that were sold at bargains everywhere. It seems that they are selling their homes to change their money to escape, and Prato is like a fly that appeared early in April looking for prey.

As a result, the closer he was to the area under Ottoman rule, the greater his gains, and the further he went, not only entered the Ottoman area, but even penetrated into it.

The emergence of such a group quickly attracted the attention of the local Ottomans, but Prato's actions were quick, because he worked hard to practice the truth that time is money, so the Ottomans always found his trail and lost it. People, and his actions have caused greater suspicion.

Finally, Prato's move caught Elup's attention.

Eryup's life was not so smooth during this time, and the Duke of Zagreb caused him more trouble than he had imagined.

Especially after entering April, Hurva ’s actions became more frequent, and Eryup had a feeling that it seemed that Hurva ’s methods were more powerful and planned than before, which made him suspect that Hurva was Did not get any help from anyone.

Perhaps it was the people from Hungary, Eryup speculated.

Although Hungarian King Ladislas II was in Bucharest, Hungary has never publicly stated that it is an enemy of the Ottoman Empire, and so far the Balkan nobles have only been in the name of an alliance rather than Ladislas II himself. The Ottomans were at war, so at least in name, there was no war between the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary.

Because of this, Elup felt that things were even more difficult.

On several occasions he accurately judged the direction of Hurva ’s main force, but when he led the army step by step to prepare to wipe out Hurva ’s resistance, the cunning Duke of Zagreb took him by The squadrons entered the mountains directly north, then crossed the Carpathian Mountains and entered the territory of Hungary.

Eryup could only sigh helplessly, he was not afraid to enter Hungary, but it was clear that Hurva had already got in touch with the Europeans in Hungary, so there were so many times Eryup just entered Hungary It did n’t take long for the grasslands to encounter a large number of local cavalry, which made Ayrup realize that things were really difficult.

Obviously, Helva used the camps in Hungary as its logistics and permanent camps, and then after each rest, it waited to cross the border to harass the area occupied by the Asmans. Although the dangerous mountain border is indeed To some extent, the Hurva army can enter Croatia, but the complex mountainous terrain also provides natural protection for the duke.

Eryup is very annoyed. The Sudan has urged him more than once to solve the nasty "Croatia Darius" as far as possible. From the current situation, it is very difficult to eliminate the resistance in Croatia.

Moreover, Eryup was wary to find that the actions of the Croatian Resistance Army have become very sharp and dangerous recently. They sometimes even seize the opportunity to actively attack some small Ottoman forces that are too late to join the main force. The "Darius" is no longer willing to be in Croatia alone, but there are signs of harassment towards North Bosnia.

This forced Eryup to change his original plan. He ruled the vast majority in a fair and enlightened manner and used the most brutal means to punish those locals who still refused to bow their heads to Sudan. After a series of **** crackdowns He ordered all the Ottoman army in the occupied area to concentrate their forces around their main towns, and then the troops from each area set off from their own area in an irregular straight line and moved northward.

In Eryup's view, the camp in Hungary should not be the main camp of Hrva. Because the terrain of the Carpathian Mountains restricts the roads, it is safer to return to Hungary, but it may be necessary to take risks during the retreat. But there are many risks.

Eryup believes that Hrva should have another main camp in Croatia that can provide supplies and rest for his army, while Hungary is to protect the main camp from being found when it is necessary.

So Eryup decided to concentrate his troops to march north, his purpose was to find the base of Helva in Croatia to destroy, so as to shake the resistance of Helva ’s army, or simply force him to withdraw completely from Croatia to die Hungary .

For this reason, Eryup even made preparations that Hilva might pass through the gap between the armies of various places and enter the northern Bosnia behind him.

It was an order from the Sudan that sent Elup to make such a great determination.

Bayesett ordered Elup to prepare for the invasion of Hungary by Roy ?, and in the order the Sultan gave Elup another task, which was to send someone to get in touch with Grand Duke Carniola.

The idea of ​​Sudan to invade Hungary is not a secret. As one of Sudan ’s close ministers, Elup even even participated in the plan to invade Hungary, but at that time no one thought that Roy? Would surrender suddenly, so now Roy? As the leader of the invasion of Hungary, this is obviously the result of the Sudan ’s temporary change of decision, but this will place a lot of burden on Erup.

After all, whether as a legendary hero or as the current Bosnian king, Roy? Still has a role to play in suppressing local resistance. If Roy? Left Bosnia, Elup would face more problems. .

But Elup can also understand the intention of Sudan to make this decision.

The unspoken "tacit agreement" with the Kingdom of Hungary allows the Sudan to be more flexible in dealing with the enemy. After all, Ladislas II was born in the royal family of Jaegovo, Poland. At this time, Sudan does not want to compete with the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania. Monsters are fighting directly.

So the Sultan decided to send Roy? To attack Hungary, which would not only contain Ladislas II, but also avoid angering one or more powerful enemies.

The Sultan ’s order to Eryup was to provide as much assistance as possible to the Ruwa ’s expedition. Among them, not only the supplies needed by the Paul Bosnian army, but also more importantly, the rear rule should be stabilized as much as possible. Otherwise, Rowa?

To this end, Elup did not hesitate to enter the battle personally. He brought his own troops to run between the various armies. According to the rule of the Hurva army during this period, he judged that Hurva ’s main camp in Croatia should be in Somewhere southwest of Zagreb, this is not only because every time Hurva ’s army moves, it often retreats southwest. More importantly, Eryup has explored that Hurva has not become a Duke in exile. At that time, he had the support of the nobles who believed in the Catholic Church in southwestern Croatia.

At the same time, Eryup ordered a strict investigation of the suspicious people who appeared in various places. He hoped to find the spy sent by Hurva from those people, so that the trace of the "Darius" might be discovered faster.

It is for this reason that Prato tragically crashed into the snare net laid by Elup for the protagonists of Hurva, and because he found that he was not an ordinary "criminal" at a glance, soon Pra Tor was sent to the Governor's House in Hurva, which was established in Zagreb.

Prato was obviously more aware of the current affairs than the Ottomans imagined, and he did not need torture at all. Prato happily said what he knew.

"Are you saying that you are a businessman?" Erup looked at the Europeans across from him. In fact, the confiscated goods showed the identity of the person, and Erup also knew that the confiscated things should not be just these, but the loss He has no interest in knowing where he has gone.

"Exclusive businessmen, I think you must know the distinguished King Ladislas of Hungary. The king and I are talking and laughing. I have friends in Rome, Pisa and Florence. I even know a person like you. Ottoman nobility. "

Elup looked at Prato coldly. He didn't believe this person because of Prato's words, but the words behind him aroused Elup's interest.

"Who are the Ottoman nobles you said?"

Although he could guess vaguely in his heart, when he heard Prato say Ahulk's name, Eryup couldn't help but stunned slightly.

"Do you know Ashurk?" Elup asked curiously. "Tell me how you met him and what he is doing now."

Prato opened his mouth. He felt that his luck had probably been exhausted with the collection of so many low-priced bronzes. Otherwise, how could he just say his personal name, the Ottoman nobility, he just knew it. The Ottomans are not better than Europe. Is there much more people, then do n’t their nobles need more, but this person actually knows that Ashurk.

"You know that I actually only knew the nobleman, no, I'm sure that knowing the nobleman is just not particularly familiar," Prato tried to explain, seeing the face of the obviously high-weight Ottoman in front of him. As it got darker, Prato quickly said, "Actually, it is my master who knows the nobleman."

"Oh, you have another master now," Eryup stood up from the chair. He actually liked these European furniture and various utensils, but he did not forget Bayesert II's alien culture. Hostility, think of the Sultan even ordering the removal of his father Mohammed II ’s oil painting portraits, Eryup often reminded himself to be vigilant at any time, "This makes me wonder which of your words is true, maybe you are a spy."

"This is a misunderstanding. For God's sake, you must believe me. I am telling the truth. My master confirmed that he knew the old Ashurk, and I swear that they are still very good friends." Pu Rato said anxiously that he had noticed that the Ottoman warrior who was standing not far away holding a scimitar was waiting for this person to speak. As long as one did not respond well, he might move his head next.

"Who is your master? I'll probably spare you a life by saying something useful." Elup was already a little impatient. If he hadn't heard about his brother, he had already ordered the slick head to be sentenced to death.

"Count Count Montina, my host is Lord Alexandre Juliant Gumbre, Earl of Montina," Prato said anxiously, as if he didn't think it was important enough. He added, "My lord is still pizza." The father of the Duchess of Estrelice, and the mother of the Duchess is Miss Lucrezia, the daughter of Pope Alexander, and my master is still ... "

Prato said impatiently a series of identities of Alexander ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ but he did not notice that when he heard Alexander's name, Eryup's look had changed.

"Gombré?" Ayrup asked unexpectedly, and after seeing Prato nodding because he noticed that this was working, Ayrp frowned slightly and continued to ask, "Tell me, what you said about Gumbre Is there an uncle who is the earl of Naples? "

"Yes, you're right!" Prato nodded as if he had caught a life-saving straw. "You're talking about Count Modillo, but that's the uncle of the adult. The mother of the adult lives in her now." This older brother, and the adult and the younger sister are the Countess of Cosenza, and the agri territory of the adult is inherited from her. "

Erup looked strangely at Prato's face with excitement, and until he found that the situation seemed to be different from what he thought, Prato stopped anxiously.

"I know that your count's uncle and his sister, because I still have a little business relationship with them, so you can be regarded as my friend's friend," Elup said slowly. You probably do n’t know that your Earl of Montina is the biggest supporter of Hurva, Duke of Zagreb, and this Hurva is the insurgent I have to eliminate, so I said, friend, you ’re in trouble this time Now.
