Invincible urban management

Hearing that the life-and-death Bosporus Strait has been completely controlled, Emperor Constantine XI couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Speaking of it, the two Turkish castles that strangled the passage of the strait were less than ten kilometers away from the imperial capital Constantinople.But as the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, he couldn't even control such a place so close, which is really sad enough to say.

"...Hey, I finally planted the double-headed eagle flag on all the land that can be seen on the city wall of di du!" Constantine XI muttered with a wry smile. A little bit, if there is a place where you can take a breath, you won't be unable to walk out of the city wall......"

"...But no matter what, this is also a great success!" Secretary of State Fuminz said with a smile, "...after a hundred years, the imperial flag has finally crossed the Bosphorus again. the Strait of Perth, and you have truly become the ruler of Europe and Asia..."

"..., the ruler of Europe and Asia? This title... Well, it seems to be the same from a geographical point of view. Who said that the Bosporus Strait happens to be the dividing line between Europe and Asia?"

Constantine XI looked at the Secretary of State with a strange expression, then shook his head and laughed at himself, "... Hehe, the ruler of Europe and Asia? There is only one city and two fortresses in the entire territory, and it only takes half a day You can walk from one end to the other, and all the subjects add up to less than [-] "... When did the title of Lord of Eurasia become so cheap? "

After lamenting the loss of the glory of the Roman Empire, Constantine XI, who felt bored, changed the subject again, "...how is the inventory of the supplies seized from the Turkish military camp? With such a large With an extra income, we will be able to live more comfortably in the future!"

The life and property of a loser belong to the winner, which has been a matter of course since ancient times.

With the sudden death of 14 Turkish troops overnight, the huge amount of supplies accumulated by Sultan Mehmed II for the capture of Constantinople were immediately transferred to Emperor Constantine XI, who was poor and poor. What a conscientious transport captain in his hands!

Of course, the "living animals such as cattle, sheep, and horses" brought by the Turks must have been poisoned and died together with the people. As for the grains such as beans, flour, and grains, most of them were also contaminated with a little bit of Lenmann gas, although it should not As for death if you eat it, it is definitely [-] times more poisonous than the worst illegal food additives and pesticide residues in later generations... However, although the emperor dared not let the citizens of Constantinople take these poisonous gas-polluted However, it did not prevent him from collecting these poisonous wheat flour and selling them all at super low prices to Genoese merchants in the Galata Concession, and then transported by these unscrupulous guys to the coastal ports of Asia Minor. To poison the Muslim citizens who are greedy for cheap...

Even the cattle, sheep and horses that were poisoned to death, the poor soldiers and civilians of Constantinople were reluctant to waste them.” Instead, they used the large amount of salt seized from the Turkish military camp this time to make them all into bacon, ready to serve Muslims in Asia Minor are dumping... It can be seen that the largest chronic food poisoning incident in ancient history is about to break out in the Eastern Mediterranean world in the middle of the 1st Epoch...

In addition to the defunct cattle, sheep, horses, and contaminated food, the clothes, tents, weapons, and gunpowder of the 14 army, as well as the coins and jewelry carried by Turkish generals and soldiers, are also quite a huge fortune. For the 14 troops, the gold, silver and jewels taken away by more than a dozen traversers are only a very small part." They didn't even search the Sultan's royal tent!

According to the estimates of Emperor Constantine XI, at least [-] to [-] pounds of gold, more than three times the weight of silver, and more than one million spears could be seized from the Turks' barracks this time. , swords, shields, daggers, crossbows and armor.As for the seized silk,

As long as the cloth and clothes are carefully washed several times to remove the poisonous gas residues on them, it is enough for the citizens of Constantinople to wear them for ten years.

The 69 large-caliber artillery pieces that Sultan Mehmed II worked so hard to drag to the city of Constantinople were even more unexpected surprises for the Eastern Roman Empire.Although the embarrassing Eastern Roman Empire couldn't afford these gold-swallowing beasts at all, even if these cumbersome big guys were melted into metal ingots, it was still enough for Emperor Constantine XI to squander it for a long time. Metal output is a tragedy, and the price of copper and iron is much higher than that of later generations.Not to mention that today's European craftsmen haven't mastered the method of casting cannons with steel. The 69 cannons of the Turks can only be cast in bronze... just the Urban Cannon alone is a full seventeen tons of high-quality bronze. !

This bright prospect of "the sultan fell and the emperor was full" made Constantine XI really elated. He changed his aggrievedness when he was forced to shrink behind the wall as an otaku before, and made up his mind to take advantage of him. The illness killed him, and he had to find a way to cut a few more pieces of flesh from the Turks anyway.

According to the idea of ​​Emperor Constantine XI, "he plans to use the weapons, gold and silver seized this time to recruit an army as quickly as possible - the current Constantinople has only a few hundred standing troops, which is really not enough Take advantage of the victory to launch a counterattack against the Turks, "not only to recover all the lost land on the outskirts of Constantinople, but also to hit the Turkish capital Adrianople in one go" and send Mehmed II's wife and children to heaven with him companion

In short, it is to take advantage of this rare opportunity to completely cut off this cancer rooted in the body of the empire!

This strategic plan... sounds crazy, but because the entire main force of the Turks has been completely destroyed under the city of Constantinople, except for some border guards thousands of miles away, the rear defense is extremely empty. So it is not impossible to win in one fell swoop.

Besides, even in case of any danger, His Majesty still has a group of traversers behind him who will cheat him!

But the problem is that the foreigners who gathered in Constantinople at this time had completely different plans—although they came to Constantinople for their religious beliefs to resist the heretics, it did not prevent these Western Europeans from arresting the heretics. Seize every opportunity to make yourself rich on this expedition.

"...Reporting to Your Majesty, the spoils we seized in the Turkish military camp are currently being transported back to the city one after another, and they are beginning to be counted and stored in different categories..." State Secretary Franz reported to the emperor in this way, "...But the problem is, before The Venetian fleet that came to aid soon, as well as volunteers from Genoa, Catalonia and France, all clamored after seeing this, claiming that they also had a share in these things..."

In other words, this group of Westerners demanded that these spoils be split in half?The emperor couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
