The five gates of the inner wall of the Theodosius City Wall fell into the hands of the Min army one after another, open for the Great Min, from the South No. 3 Marius Military Gate, that is, the gate opened by the sneak attack of Shenglian Mountain, the Min army penetrated into the city wall from the rear, all the way to the left and right to eliminate the remnants of the stubborn defenders of Constantinople, more than 1,000 meters of the city wall, the Eastern Roman Golden Eagle Banner hanging on the top of the bald arrow tower tower was cut down one after another, and replaced with the brilliant Min character flag and the double-headed dragon flag of the Great Min.

The unruly Constantinople, the center of Western civilization and the city that never falls, New Rome, a great city with a series of glorious names, finally bowed its haughty head to the Great Min like a tamed fiery horse.

By the time Li Jie entered the city, the battle was basically over, more than 118,000 from sixty-eight Hun tribes, almost all the main forces of the Huns in Eastern Europe were almost wiped out in this battle, except for a few thousand survivors who had been frightened and lost their souls were dragged out like cattle by the Fujian army, the rest had all been left under the city of Constantinople.

The mistake made by the Huns was that they were too obsessed with the glory of the Hun Emperor Attila, and the Hun leader Kahaba also wanted too much to restore the power of the Hun Empire.

Kahaba committed the taboo of not knowing oneself and not knowing the other in the art of war, so when his head was cut off from the pile of corpses by the Min army and presented as a military merit, no one felt the slightest surprise, and even Li Jie didn't even have a look at the heart of this bloody enemy, and directly waved his hand to let him take it to the back to remember the merit.

Outside the city, the soldiers of the rear army of Da Min packed up the corpses of the battlefield and walked all the way, Li Jie didn't look at it again, at this time, Li Jie's whole mind was on the huge trophy in front of him, Constantinople!

The city gate into the city is the triumphal arch built by Justinian the Great more than 400 years ago to commemorate the defeat of the Ostrogothic, the last time Li Ji only blew up the outer city, the inner gate is still a monument more than 400 years ago, but the dust that has just exploded has made the lion on the statue, the golden eagle and the figure relief are covered with a layer of dust, revealing a decadent scene.

The city is also full of messy scenes left by the war, obviously the troops entering the city for the King of Min to enter the city, have cleaned up some, the corpses have been carried away, the war has been extinguished, and the guns and arrows thrown on the ground have also been pulled out, but the black and purple blood stains on the big beach, the buildings on both sides of the road that have been demolished because of defense, and the raging war in the distance and the faint shouting of killing can still not be concealed.

The Min army can be regarded as a trained and strict military rule, but it can't reach the point where the Yue family army in later generations froze to death and did not enter the house, starved to death and did not grab food.

What's more, Li Jie is reluctant to use his main army as a soldier no matter what, and the 150,000 people who are besieging the city today, two-thirds of the subject troops with lax military discipline have just gone through the battle with the ferocious and vicious Hun cavalry outside the city, and they have been fighting in the intense killing for more than an hour.

Therefore, Li Jie himself could not stop this kind of looting, the only prohibition was not to move the church, not that Li Jie protected Christianity, because in the war season, the last place for the residents of the city to hide was the church, so that it could more or less reduce the killing.

After all, Anna grew up here, and has an irreplaceable attachment to the city, watching her city fall into a miserable situation because she led the Fujian army to attack, along the way, riding a horse and following Li Jie's imperial flag, looking at this scene, Anna couldn't help but tremble.

Leng Buding looked back and saw that Li Jie stopped the war horse, reached out and grabbed her waist, and dragged Anna to his horse, the two rode together, and were held in Li Jie's arms, seemingly relieved, Anna closed her bright eyes slightly, and leaned on tiredly.

"This is the case in China, after more than two hundred years of strife and chaos, this is what it is today, and I assure you that today is just the pain of a new life, and it won't be long before prosperity will come to this land again, far better than before!"

I don't know if Anna listened to the qù or not, leaning on Li Jie's shoulder, she just nodded slightly.

The majestic Great Min Forbidden Army was like an unfolded carpet, in groups of twos and twos, constantly spreading fifteen meters in front of the direction of King Min's advance, holding long lances and standing majestically on both sides of the street, and the majestic warriors looked at the citizens of Constantinople hiding in the Greek-style apartments on both sides.

Entering the city from the city wall of Theodosius, walking about two miles, before arriving at the second city wall of Constantine, at this time Li Rang, who broke into from the Golden Horn, also took this area, Li Rang personally put on armor and held a spear and waited at the second Constantine triumphal arch, seeing Li Jie's arrival, tens of thousands of soldiers in the city and under the city knelt on one knee with Li Rang, and the high voice went straight to the bullfight.

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor of Damin, long live, long live, long live!"

The sudden cheers made Li Jie couldn't help but be stunned, and then he came into a trance, yes! Having conquered Constantinople, he himself is the emperor, the emperor of the West!

Thinking of this, Li Jie also raised the symbol of Fujian in mid-air, and responded with the same enthusiasm: "Long live the Great Min!"

Mencius said: The people are noble, the society is second, and the king is light! But there are a few emperors in the past who put the country above themselves, and the soldiers who cheered with Li Jie did not realize how different the meaning of the expression was just two words of emperor.

In the cheers, the triumphal arch of Constantine the Great that was established and pacified the Roman Empire was also the opening of its brilliant embrace to Li Jie.

But the royal car had just walked less than thirty meters, but a fat man whose body was half red with blood suddenly rushed out, and the forbidden army guarding the royal car was immediately like a great enemy, and more than a dozen long lances were about to pierce it, and at the same time, Li Rang, who joined Li Jie's cavalry, and other guard generals also pulled out their swords violently.

saw the fat man pounce and lie directly on the street, holding up a huge golden key with both hands high, trembling and shouting in a stumbling Tang dialect.

"Meet the supreme Augustus, the contemptible Archbishop Baldwin of St. George's Basilica, who hereby surrenders to you on behalf of Constantinople and presents the keys to the Grand Palace of Constantinople for the great Augustus!"

Looking at the archbishop who was kneeling in front of the horse and trembling, Anna was very disdainful, and her voice reprimanded with disdain: "What qualifications do you have to surrender on behalf of Constantinople?"

"Patriarch Theodor I has been called by God to serve at His Majesty's side, and only the contemptible people in the whole of Constantinople have accepted God's revelation and know that His Majesty is the true master of Rome, for which he has repeatedly persuaded Constantine IV not to be obsessed, you see! For this, he almost hacked the despicable to death! ”

Baldwin was a bit ostentatious about the injury on his shoulder, but unfortunately everyone didn't seem interested in it, and he was prostrate on the ground and hurriedly spoke.

"The contemptible people have persuaded the guards of the Grand Palace and the Senate to surrender to you by the will of God, so under God's guidance, Constantinople is dedicated to you!"

There are shameless, but it is really rare for Archbishop Baldwin to be so shameless, these days the Min army has heard his ugly voice on the city wall and shouted to boost morale, and now it has become a person in Cao Ying's heart in Han.

But fortunately, he provided some dry goods, which was quite useful, Li Jie tilted his head noncommittally, and asked Li Rang to get off the horse and take the golden key, and then Hòu handed it to Anna to hold.

After presenting the golden key, Archbishop Baldwin was ecstatic and kowtowed, and then Hòu snatched the big Fujian flag with black and gold characters on a silk fabric from the hands of the priest who was watching from the sidelines.

This person has some uses, looking at his banner, the Roman nobles who were trembling and cowering in their own mansions, those governors, and dukes also slipped out of their homes, and after kneeling down to Li Jie to worship the luggage, they were also cheeky and became the pawns of the king of Fujian.

When Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he was defeated not only because Liu Zongmin offended Wu Sangui by arresting Chen Yuanyuan, but also because the peasant army's torture was tantamount to offending the entire Ming bureaucracy.

Who make up the country? It is not the hundreds of senators who went to worship Li Jie last time, but these large and small low-level officials, nobles, and scribes in the city of Constantinople, the real management of the country is in the context of their composition, and it is precisely because of their existence that Constantine IV can still control the country after pit those surrender elders.

Receiving them also means that Li Jie can quickly receive the entire Eastern Roman Empire, looking left and right, the buildings behind the walls of Constantine are obviously cleaner and more upscale than the buildings behind the walls of Theodosius outside, after thinking for a while, Li Jie turned his head and ordered: "Let Er, order your subordinates to guard the walls of Constantine and not allow the rebel army outside to enter!"

Originally, Qiu Ba was not interested in the chaos and looting outside, and when he got the order, Li Rang immediately surrendered his promise, of course, he didn't run errands by himself, turned sideways and explained a few words to Yao Chong, and then the matter was done.

The Grand Palace of Constantinople is located in the innermost part of the whole Constantinople, which is a huge building complex built by Emperor Constantine the Great, who unified the entire Eastern and Western Roman Empires, based on the entire ancient Greek colonial city of Byzantium, including the emperor's dormitory, the Colosseum, the ceremonial hall, Theodosius Square, Constantine Square and the Great Library and many other buildings.

A few years ago, Li Jie looked at the splendid Constantinople in Caesarea, most of which was here.

In particular, a gate leading to Rome in the direction of the Grand Palace is actually made of golden metal, and above the gate, there is also a sculpture of an ancient Roman warrior holding five elephants, symbolizing the great power conquered by Rome.

Looking at the Grand Palace in the distance, the most knowledgeable Prime Minister Yu Wenjie couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "In ancient times, it was said that Great Qin had a golden gate, and I thought that the Westerners made it up and boasted, but I didn't expect it to be true!"

The other generals and ministers of Damin were also very impressed by this great building that was not inferior to China, but at this moment, Anna suddenly lowered her head and asked Baldwin urgently.

"Where's my brother?"

Even Li Jie suddenly woke up......
