"Your Majesty, there are a total of more than [-] households that have royal furniture and other daily necessities in their homes. Many of them are hooligans. The veteran thinks that they should all be executed as an example to others, so that those who come later will know that the monarch should not be offended." The speaker said. The voice is old and hoarse, with a vicissitudes of life.

This is Said and Zhuo reporting to Suleiman in the Buda Palace.

The room Suleiman was in looked magnificent, and it was only slightly inferior to the Royal Palace in Istanbul, but the entire palace is currently only this good room.

The Hungarian furniture in this room was sourced from the entire palace.

Many of the other rooms in the palace were looted, and Said and Zhuo have been chasing the stolen goods for the past two days. [

Although there was only one day when the order was completely out of control between the withdrawal of Queen Mary and the entry of the Ottoman army forwards, the Austrian scouts later won another day for the looters.

In short, there are indeed quite a few people who got their dream furniture.

Although it was the property of the Hungarian royal family that was robbed, killing these people just happened to swear the majesty of the Ottoman royal family.

On this issue, Suleiman has never been ambiguous.

"Mustafa Pasha, how many residents are there in Buda?" Only this time, Suleiman did not immediately approve Said Hezhuo's request with a wave of his hand, but asked a civil affairs official beside him.

"According to the rough statistics these days, it should be between 2550 and 2600." The efficiency of the Ottoman Empire at this time is indeed astonishing. With the military issues already in a thousand threads, they actually managed the situation of the residents in the city so quickly. again.

In the chaos, most of the good people fled the city in a hurry after learning the news that the Hungarian army was defeated and the king died in battle.There are no rules of civilized warfare in this era, especially when it comes to religious issues. The loser is often all the men see the king of hell, half of the women see the king of hell, and the remaining half is luckier than others.But the days to come will not be better.

Of course this is not the Ottoman style.

The Ottomans may have done similar things in the first few generations of their rise, but after they severely damaged the Byzantine Empire several times and defeated the European Crusaders to become the overlord on the Eurasian Continental Bridge, they were relatively restrained and had no such scruples nomad style.

However, they also have a bad record in this regard, ranging from the day-to-day robbery after the capture of Constantinople, to the recent capture of Belgrade and the expulsion of all residents to Turkey and the Balkans.Turn Belgrade into a purely military fortress.

It was bad enough for the citizens of Buda that all, high and low, were taken east to become tenants of the Sipahi cavalry lords, mere serfs.

Therefore, most of the residents of Buda fled the capital one step ahead of the royal family, went to other cities or villages, and went to visit relatives or return to their hometowns as much as possible.Only poor families with nowhere to escape and no savings would stay in Buda.

"The capital of Hungary used to be a metropolis with a population of nearly 2." Although it is far inferior to Istanbul, which has a population of more than [-], and it is not as good as the second-tier cities such as Ankara and Bursa, it can still be regarded as a big city.

"These residents who stay in the city are the righteous people who love my Ottoman Empire. It's nothing to reward them with a little moldy board and a dilapidated pot. It's really not worth shouting and killing. Don't be too rigid. Ah, my friend."

Suleiman's handling is very different from his ruthlessness on the battlefield.

Although Hungary is not a first-class power.However, as a country with a population of millions, the daily necessities of the royal family are still quite impressive.

Suleiman's statement was of course a joke, but he really didn't care about those things.

Although his entourage is extremely luxurious, it is to show the awe of the power of the Ottoman royal family, and he is actually negligent about the details of life.

Of course, his standards are within the standard range of the Ottoman royal family, can you? Although he is a hero, as the only son of the royal family, he is not completely close to the people. [

But he did let Said and Zhuo gently let go of the Hungarians who looted the palace.

"Okay, let's get over the furniture. Don't you want to remodel the church? Anyway, there are enough people now, and I'm looking forward to worshiping in the Buda Mosque that has added a chapel and cleaned up idolatry." After the Ottomans conquered the cities of Europa.Redecorating the cathedral in Cyrek is an inevitable homework, which is also Said and Zhuo's favorite program.

Although he was a little regretful that Suleiman let go of those Hungarians who took the furniture, Suleiman remodeling the cathedral by hand was a good appeasement. Although there were a large number of troops, most of them still had to be guarded.

"Are you going to meet a guest for dinner today?" He personally sent Said and Zhuo to the gate of the palace.Suleiman asked one of his senior maids.

Since the conquest of Constantinople, the Ottoman sultans would take half a harem with them when they went out, and they did have the ability to protect their women.

"Yes, Your Majesty, today's guest, the ambassador of the Kingdom of France is already waiting for you."

Now the people in the entire Buda city who can be called Suleiman's friends are the ambassadors of the Kingdom of France and the Republic of Venice. They are the only European nobles who have not fled.

The internal chaos of the Republic of Venice has greatly reduced the importance of this ambassador. The only one who is really qualified to have a word with Suleiman is the French ambassador.

The Republic of Venice and Ottoman have always had a special relationship, and the stay of the French ambassador can be considered that the French side has no longer concealed, but is openly colluding with heretics.

"I really didn't expect to be able to eat such authentic and delicious Turkish food in Buda." The French ambassador's flattery is indeed professional.

"Have you ever been to my country?" Suleiman asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have lived with my businessman father in Egypt for more than ten years, and I have witnessed the feat of your father Selim's conquest of Mamluk Egypt!" The ambassador's father happened to be in Egypt A merchant who traded in exporting papyrus.

It was by virtue of the trade between Marseilles and Alexandria that the ambassador and his brothers and sisters were able to obtain a good education and break into the court of France as merchants.

However, his talent is indeed extraordinary, just now it was an amazing combo, first complimenting Suleiman, and then complimenting his father.

“How is your old father?” Even for Suleiman, eating with a foreign ambassador in a newly conquered city was a rare experience.

"Oh, thanks to your blessings, the business in Alexandria and Cairo is very good!" Of course, he would not say that the few years when the Ottoman army first entered Egypt were the most difficult days in his life. His father's business was on the verge of bankruptcy several times, okay? It was easy to re-establish trade relations.

Today's banquet is an opportunity for the French ambassador.

Under the deliberate flattery of the ambassador, Suleiman and him successfully discussed a few words about the traditional privileges of French merchants in Egypt.

And the possibility of these powers reappearing later in the Hungarian regions.

The problem at this level is the limit of the ambassador. No matter how high the strategic military cooperation is, he cannot freely play it.

However, when the report to Paris was written by candlelight at night, the ambassador's spirits were very high. [

It was indeed a successful banquet. The ambassador's report to Paris mentioned that the two parties had fully exchanged views and further deepened their understanding.

Don't underestimate this kind of diplomatic nonsense. For the ambassador personally, this is tantamount to having a relationship with Suleiman. He can already claim to Paris that His Majesty the Ottoman Sultan has established a good personal relationship.

This is a very useful plus factor in his future career.

The recent situation is obvious. After a series of defeats, the Kingdom of France will cross a line that it was unwilling to cross in the past. The position of ambassador to Istanbul will soon appear on the roster of French diplomats.

The position would obviously be a top-level post worth less than ambassadors in London, Madrid and Warsaw.

'Unexpectedly, the disaster of the Kingdom of Hungary and the end of His Majesty Louis Agroni turned out to be my ladder to heaven. '

Your Excellency the Ambassador has no nostalgia for the former Hungarian King. Although they have had meals with each other several times, now he is only worried that he will be sent to a certain German Principality or a small Sultanate on the other side of the Mediterranean Sea.

This time there is absolutely no need to worry.

Thank God.

"Madam, if there is no accident, we will be able to go to Istanbul soon." The ambassador said excitedly to his wife.

"Oh, people don't like it there." The ambassador's wife was actually very happy. She hoped that her husband would rise to a higher level. After the tenure of the top ambassador, there was a little possibility that he could enter the top decision-making power in Paris.

"Then you don't want to follow, anyway, I can marry three more wives when I get to Istanbul." Of course, the ambassador was joking, which violated the rules of Paris.

"You hate it, but I heard that the Habsburg in Vienna also came with an army. Will there be repetitions?" The ambassador's wife was also more worried about Ladislau's army.

"He came to die. Maybe his army is a little stronger than Louis II, but it is impossible to take back Hungary."

A new order seemed about to be established. (to be continued...)
