Chapter 797: Angels also came to join in the fun
Yang Feng, who crossed the English Channel, then descended to Paris, and then added another suffering to the French people in internal and external troubles......
They are indeed troubled internally and externally.
It is said that at this time, even King John II of France was a prisoner in England, and in fact, the ruler of France was his son Charles, who was responsible for raising ransom for him, and it is estimated that Charles was not interested in ransomed his father from the British, and he did not have the ability. In order to collect taxes, he even held the Estates-General, but he was beaten out of his capital by the rebellious citizens of Paris, but fortunately he recaptured it, so even though he signed a humiliating peace treaty with the British, John II died in London two years later, and then Charles succeeded to the throne as Charles V, who almost turned the tide of the war......
The main thing is that the British lost too much in the ravages of the Black Death.
After all, there aren't many people in the UK.
And France's population far exceeds that of Britain, so even if the two countries die in the same proportion of deaths in the Black Death, the result is also in France's favor, the meaning of a third of a hundred people and a third of a thousand people is completely different, and the same Britain, which originally had a population of only a few million, died a third each, and France, which had a population of more than 10 million, each died a third, so the impact on strength is completely different.
But Britain, which regained its strength after the most ferocious phase of the Black Death, beat France again after the death of Charles V, and this time it was the female man who saved France, of course, Yang Feng will not be interested in saints or anything, in this era of prideful dirty, saints and fanatics represent the limit of dirty. It is a respectable virtue not to bathe for a lifetime, maggots wriggle in the dirt on the body, lice carnival in the knotted hair, this represents the purity of the soul, it is enough to be canonized, so don't have illusions about the real Joan of Arc because of movies and comics, a modern person can still be hard in the face of the real Joan of Arc, that is definitely a man!
COS Yang Feng, who descended from the devil, laughed wildly and swept over the bloody background amid the screams of the people of Paris, shaking off more viruses by the way.
He did the same in England.
The impudent bastard didn't think Europe was suffering enough to kill more than a third of its population, so he sowed the continent with more viruses he could make, such as anthrax, cholera, and flu, and then he continued eastward like a real demon shaking the little creatures downward. He had little interest in the princes of the HRE, and Vienna was also in the thick fog of the Black Death, and at most a thousand people could die a day, so he could just shake off some small bugs in the sky casually, anyway, he was really not interested in the European beauties of this era, so he didn't need to go down to hunt for beauty.
Soon he reached Constantinople.
Constantinople.
"Your Majesty, the Ottoman messenger has arrived!"
A minister at the Grand Palace spoke cautiously to the Eastern Roman Emperor John V.
"Got it!"
The latter looked out the window and said gloomily.
The glory of the Roman Empire has long been a distant story, and although the flag of the Roman Empire still flies in Constantinople, and even the single-headed eagle emblem has become a double-headed, the magnificent walls that represent the pinnacle of medieval fortress defense are protected by nothing more than a dying body. The same magnificent city with a population of one million is now home to a maximum of a few hundred thousand, protected by towering walls, in fact, small villages separated by vegetable gardens and wild roses, and even the once glorious palaces are mostly in disrepair......
Patriarch Constantine did not dare to live in his palace for fear of falling one day.
The end of the Eastern Roman Empire is not far off.
Their nightmarish foe has set foot on their homeland......
Uh, the Ottomans captured Adrianople.
In fact, the only land that His Majesty the Eastern Roman Emperor was able to rule was this city that had lost its former glory, he was an imperial emperor, a powerful imperial emperor who once used the Mediterranean Sea as an inland lake, but when this crown was carried over his head, there were only two cities left. To be precise, only part of the European part of modern Turkey, if you really want to count, it is not necessarily as big as the island of Taiwan, and the vast majority of the land is not his, his land is not as much as the Kontakuzun family, although this is the trade hub of the East and the West, but unfortunately the port is not his, the Venetians have long established a concession here, and then controlled the trade rights of Constantinople.
Now the poor Emperor is gone, and his Majesty is not even one of the only two cities.
After losing Adrianople, his remaining territory may not even be comparable to Hainan Island, considering the difference in military strength between the two sides, as well as the terrain of the completely open gate to the west, his real control area is probably only within the walls of Constantinople.
And it is about to be invaded by enemy soldiers.
The Ottomans had already occupied the Gallipoli Peninsula to the south and now Adrianople, cutting off Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, from Christendom by land, and the army of the Ottoman Emperor Murad I was about to conquer the city.
Only one way was left for him to pay tribute.
Originally, he accepted it, but later wanted to get rid of Murad I, and then sneaked to Rome despite the opposition of Patriarch Constantine in order to bow the knee to the Pope in exchange for the support of the Vatican, but unfortunately the Black Death ravaged Europe was too busy to take care of itself. And because he owed too much debt to the Venetians, he was actually seized by the Venetians, and later ransomed by his son, and then honestly continued to be a vassal of the Ottoman Sultan, and he was very satisfied with Murad I, and later after he was usurped by another son, it was Murad I who presided over justice for him......
It's all mixed to this point, and there is still infighting, I have to say that their brains are also very strange.
"Lord, forgive me my sins!"
He stood at the window and prayed silently as he looked at the sky above the city walls, and then he was about to turn and surrender to the infidels.
Suddenly, he exclaimed.
A white figure suddenly appeared in his field of vision, a white robe, with white wings spread out behind his back, blonde hair, holding a huge, more spear-like red cross, suspended in the blue sky with a holy light and dazzling sunlight, looking down on him with a majestic gaze less than a hundred meters away, like a humble ant.
"Angel, angel has come!"
John V screamed wildly......
Well, here Yang Feng will no longer COS Satan, let alone shake the little worms, after all, the Byzantines are miserable enough, but it is more in line with Yang Feng's aesthetics to support them and let them continue to fight with the Ottomans, at this time there are less than a hundred years before the fall of Constantinople, to be precise, ninety years, whether in terms of interests or personal aesthetics, Yang Feng has to pull the Byzantines, and then let them continue the war with the Ottomans.
Anyway, they don't have the ability to turn the tables around.
In fact, it was not the Ottomans but the Christians who destroyed the Eastern Roman Empire, and the Crusaders did the heavy blow that brought the empire to a crumble, and the sacking of Constantinople was the biggest single gain of the Crusaders in the course of the Eastern Crusade, and then the Eastern Roman Empire was completely abolished. And the main people responsible for the fall of the empire to the remaining capital are those large and small princes, as well as the surrounding brothers, John V really wants to turn the tables, whether it is the Venetians, the Bulgarians, the princes of the Holy Ara, or even the princes of the Eastern Roman Empire, they will not agree.
They were even more zealous than the Ottomans on the issue of ruining this empire.
Revival of the Eastern Roman Empire?
The Venetian colonies on the opposite side of the Golden Horn were the first to refuse.
Unless Yang Feng personally leads them.
"Romans!"
Half an hour later, in front of the background of the magnificent Hagia Sophia, the descending angel Michael shouted majestically.
Worship at his feet.
Both the Eastern Roman Emperor and the Patriarch of Constantine fell to their knees and bowed their heads to him, while behind them were countless believers who also knelt down, all of whom listened to the angel's hadith in silence with excitement.
"Why do you allow heresy to defile this sacred land?"
Yang Feng pointed to a few Ottomans and said.
The latter was standing in a corner in astonishment, this was a messenger sent by Murad I, they came to ask John V to surrender and pay tribute to them, but they didn't expect to catch up with the angel coming, so they were very embarrassed, they were actually ready to bow together, Michael is also their angel, the relationship between the three Semitic religions was already chaotic, Jesus was still their prophet, but now as soon as Yang Feng opened his mouth, they knew that they must not kneel......
It's all heretical, and you're on your knees!
Several Ottomans looked at each other and, under the unfriendly gaze of the Eastern Romans around them, mounted their horses as fast as they could, trying to leave.
However, at this moment, the pair of shining wings behind Yang Feng fanned, and in the next moment, dozens of feathers shot out like sharp swords, instantly hitting these Ottomans, and then piercing their bodies and flying out with their blood, and even continued to nail forward to the solid wall.
"Heresy!"
Yang Feng said disdainfully in the sky.
John V and Patriarch Constantine subconsciously wiped a cold sweat.
The archangel was jealous and hateful, and could not tolerate heresy, but fortunately they had not yet agreed to surrender.
"Romans, like your ancestors, take up your weapons, lift up your eagle emblems, blow your trumpets, declare war on heresies, defend the glory of the Lord, and I will lead you to take back your land and send those heretics to hell!"
Yang Feng held the cross high and shouted.
Then there was an exuberant roar below.
