Chapter 255: Mongolia can become the new emperor of the Roman Empire
Latest website:
A madman is naturally no longer suitable to be the protector of the Orthodox Church.
Alexius said angrily to several archbishops under his command, "John V has wanted to betray God's will for worldly interests. This is absolutely intolerable for those of us who are pious. Who can
If I can figure out a way to make John V change his stupid idea, I will consider giving him the position of the next Archbishop of Constantine."
The Orthodox Church adopts a regional responsibility system for jurisdiction over various places.
Each region has an archbishop.
Although these archbishops are equal in status, there are differences in status due to the different sizes of the areas under their jurisdiction.
Among them, the Archbishop of Constantinople is the most noble. Generally speaking, those who serve as the Archbishop of Constantinople will eventually become the next Orthodox Patriarch as long as nothing unexpected happens.
This is the equivalent of the Orthodox religious prince!
Alexius's words made several of his archbishops gear up to come up with suggestions.
Some of them suggested that a petition of ten thousand people should be held to let John V see the basic bottom line that Roman citizens were devout to the Orthodox Church and could not change their faith under any circumstances.
However, after everyone unanimously discussed this idea, they felt that it was of no use.
Because John V has made it clear that whoever can save the Eastern Roman Empire will respect whose faith he will.
It is difficult to persuade successfully by ordinary means.
Moreover, the Roman citizens of Constantinople are no longer the Roman legions who went into battle to kill the enemy. They have all become the "waste of Eastern Rome" who can only talk about it.
The Orthodox Patriarch Alexius felt that he could not organize a large-scale petition team.
Because the Roman citizens of Constantinople have always been free and loose, unless a life and death enemy comes to the city, even if God comes, he cannot command them.
Being unorganized and undisciplined is the true portrayal of the citizens of the Eastern Roman Empire today.
If one plan fails, everyone will try another plan.
They felt that they should send someone to contact the Genoese people and just persuade them to withdraw their troops.
By giving up attacking and blocking the ports of the Eastern Roman Empire, John V could change his mind.
But this idea was tantamount to making a big cake to satisfy hunger. The Genoese people put forward a lot of demands for land cessation and compensation, and the Eastern Roman Empire could not provide the money at all.
The Patriarch of the Orthodox Church is not the God of Wealth, so naturally he cannot generate money to feed those greedy Genoese people. If he wants to sell off the property of the Orthodox Church, that is absolutely not allowed.
How can mortals have the right to dispose of God's property on earth?
Therefore, the proposal to bribe the Genoese people to withdraw their troops was unanimously rejected by everyone after discussion. Then these people put forward several suggestions that seemed feasible, but in the end they did not gain unanimous approval from everyone.
Patriarch Alexius looked at the archbishops under his command and couldn't help but feel impatient.
Suddenly, he suddenly had an idea and thought of a brilliant idea.
He clapped his hands to silence everyone, and then said to them, "Since John V wants to abandon our Orthodox Church, why don't we start by deposing his Eastern Roman Emperor and choose another powerful one who can defend the Orthodox Church?"
To be the emperor of Rome?"
The words of Patriarch Alexius shocked everyone.
Over the past thousand years, the Eastern Roman Empire had gone through more than a dozen dynasties, countless coups and mutinies, and many emperors.
But no Roman emperor was replaced by an Orthodox Patriarch in a coup.
Alexius's proposal can be said to be an unprecedented bold move.
Everyone quickly asked how to do it.
"Patriarch, who can replace John V as Roman Emperor?"
"Is it possible that the King of Bulgaria should come?"
"In other words, the governor of Thrace can be appointed."
…
These archbishops all talked about the candidates they thought were possible candidates.
These mentioned candidates are all more or less related to the current Roman emperor.
From a blood perspective, it is not impossible to serve as Roman emperor.
But Patriarch Alexius smiled coldly and said a name that no one had expected.
"John, John from Mongolia!"
"I think he can replace John V and become the new emperor of the Roman Empire!"
Alexius said in a tone that left no room for doubt.
Everyone was confused when they heard this name.
None of them knew who this John was.
Everyone asked Alexius who the John he was talking about was?
Only then did Alexius say: "Have you forgotten? On the northern shore of the Black Sea, the Mongols from the east have just replaced the Golden Horde. Their leader converted to our Orthodoxy not long ago and has a new name.
His name is John. He is a descendant of the three wise men who blessed Jesus. What a deep connection he has with God! And he also possesses powerful military force. As long as we can welcome him to Constantinople to replace John V as John V.
Emperor, I think there is no problem at all."
After hearing these words, a group of people in the room were shocked and opened their mouths.
No one made a sound for a long time.
Because the news was so shocking, they couldn't digest it for a while.
Let a Mongolian from the east become the emperor of the Roman Empire.
If Alexius, the Orthodox Patriarch in front of them, hadn't said it himself, everyone would have thought that this was nonsense only spoken by a madman.
Alexius was not surprised at all by everyone's reaction.
Everyone started to question.
"This John is a Mongolian!"
"Yes, he was an unbelieving pagan not long ago!"
"No! He is an unbeliever who is worse than a pagan."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "These Mongols just killed 100,000 Poles!"
"They are terrible butchers, the Satans of hell! How can they become Roman emperors?"
"If the Mongols were allowed to become Roman emperors, all Roman citizens would probably take to the streets to rebel!"
Faced with many questions, Alexius showed a dismissive look. He waved his hands to everyone, asking the chattering archbishops to quiet down, and then spoke slowly.
"What's wrong with him being a Mongolian?"
"The current John V is still an Armenian! Among the previous Roman emperors, there were Thracians, Macedonians, and even slaves of unknown origin. Don't we still regard them as emperors of the empire?
"
What Alexius said was absolutely correct.
In the history of the Roman Empire, there were countless coups and mutinies, and many generals in charge of the army were pushed to the throne of the Roman emperor.
Because of the tradition of using foreign mercenaries, many mercenaries were not Roman citizens at all, and many became Roman emperors in mysterious circumstances.
"So, if a Macedonian or Armenian can become the Roman emperor, it is not surprising that a Mongolian can become the Roman emperor."
Alexius's words made everyone feel that they really made sense.
Later, Patriarch Alexius said again. "It doesn't matter if he is a Mongolian. It doesn't matter if he had no faith before. Before he converted to Orthodoxy, he killed countless heretics. Isn't such a great contribution not enough?"
To make up for it?”
Install the latest version.]
"Inspired by God, John traveled thousands of miles to come to us!"
What Alexius said also convinced everyone.
According to previous rumors, a fierce war broke out between the Mongols in the East and the Tianfang believers. Hundreds of thousands of Tianfang believers were massacred by the Mongols. The results of such a powerful war even exceeded the last two crusades launched by the Pope of Rome.
All the results of the Eastern Campaign.
Alexius continued: "This John from the steppes killed more than 100,000 people in Poland, but the Poles deserved their punishment. Who allowed them to destroy Orthodox churches and massacre many Orthodox believers!
"
"John of the Mongols, as a devout believer, there was nothing wrong in punishing the Poles. On the contrary, it was a great achievement."
The Poles are the licking dogs of the Roman Pope. In order to show their devotion to the Roman Catholic Church, they regard almost all Orthodox believers as heretics. The Orthodox Patriarch of Constantinople has long disliked the Poles, and now Poland
The massacre of people by the Mongols naturally made Patriarch Alexius feel very happy.
After some arguments by Patriarch Alexius, all the archbishops under him felt that John, who came from the Mongolian steppe, was the best candidate to serve as Roman emperor.
Of course, all these reasons are not decisive to the last one.
That is, John who came up from the prairie possessed a force that the current Roman Emperor John V could not match!
Hundreds of thousands of Mongol troops!
They have now become Orthodox believers. Once they successfully settle in Constantinople, the glory of the Orthodox Church will flourish again!
The situation that has been suppressed by the Roman Catholic Church for hundreds of years will inevitably be completely overturned.
In this conference hall, the Orthodox Patriarch Alexius and a dozen of his archbishops finally made a secret decision to go to the north shore of the Black Sea and invite John Timur to come to Constantinople to become the Roman Emperor.
In order to complete this great and arduous task, Alexius personally appointed his most trusted Archbishop Joseph as the plenipotentiary envoy to go to the Yuan Dynasty on his behalf.
In the city of Salai, thousands of miles away from Constantinople.
Wang Baobao never thought that he just wanted to spend the winter in Salai City.
Suddenly a crown fell from the sky and was about to fall on his head.
Sent by Patriarch Alexius, Archbishop Joseph disguised himself as a businessman and sailed north along the Black Sea in a small boat, after evading the patrols of the Genoese navy.
Archbishop Joseph finally reached the Crimean Peninsula after going through all kinds of hardships.
After expressing their intention to come, the local Mongolian and Yuan garrison immediately sent someone to report the situation to Wang Baobao.
Wang Baobao naturally took the envoy from Constantinople seriously, thinking that it was the Eastern Roman Emperor who had sent someone to discuss the alliance. He sent a special person to lead the elite cavalry to escort Archbishop Joseph to Salai City.
After a long journey, as soon as Archbishop Joseph saw Wang Baobao, he immediately knelt down on one knee and explained the purpose of his visit to Wang Baobao in the most pious manner. After being relayed by the translator, Wang Baobao thought that his translation skills were not good at first.
What others said was wrong.
"How can you, a barbarian, act as a translator? I obviously came to talk to me about the alliance between the two countries, but why did you say that you want to give up the throne to me? I am an outsider and not a descendant of the Roman emperor.
Why do you get the throne from someone else!?" Wang Baobao looked angry.
This is a serious diplomatic accident!
But the Slavic translator in front of him looked innocent.
After further careful questioning, he looked at Wang Baobao with very pitiful eyes and said: "Your Highness, you are right, that is what Archbishop Joseph said. Patriarch Alexius of Constantinople
Together with more than a dozen archbishops, they all decided unanimously that they want you to go to Constantinople to replace Joseph John V as the new Roman Emperor."
After confirming that the news was correct, Wang Baobao was simply stunned.
as big as World, nothing is nonexistent.
Wang Baobao felt that he had traveled extensively and traveled tens of thousands of miles across mountains and rivers, so he was well-informed. However, this was definitely the first time he had heard of the throne being offered to him.
"I am a Mongolian, not your Roman!" Wang Baobao asked in a very suspicious tone.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Although you are a Mongolian, if you become a Roman emperor, you are also a Roman." Archbishop Joseph said with an extremely solemn expression.
When Wang Baobao heard this, he thought it was true, but then he thought of his own identity.
Now he is the Grand Master Fufu of the Yuan Dynasty and has been granted the title of Wangjue. After all, he is still a minister of the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty.
Let the ministers of one country serve as the emperor of another country.
It's not appropriate to think about this kind of thing.
Wang Baobao then expressed his concerns.
"Ah?!" Archbishop Joseph was a little at a loss after hearing these words.
It turned out that due to lack of information, when people in the Eastern Roman Empire received news about the Yuan Dynasty, they all thought that Wang Baobao, who controlled the affairs of the Yuan Dynasty, was the monarch of the Yuan Dynasty.
They have never even heard of Bayan Timur, the Great Mongol Khan and Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty.
Archbishop Joseph reacted flexibly and resolved the embarrassment immediately.
"The emperor of the Roman Empire can have the titles of Caesar and Augustus, and both can perform the duties of the emperor. Just like your Great Mongolia, you and the current Great Mongolian Emperor can respectively serve as the Augustus of the Roman Empire.
In this way, we can maintain our original relationship with Caesar and be able to manage the affairs of the empire normally."
Archbishop Joseph was not an honest man either, and he just lied to Wang Baobao.
In the political system of the Roman Empire, the official title of the emperor was actually the head of state or the first citizen.
However, in the subsequent evolution, Augustus and Caesar gradually acquired their own specific meanings.
As for whether the pie falling from the sky was a trap, Wang Baobao didn't feel that there was anything scary about it.
He now clearly understands that the military capabilities of these countries in Europe are very weak and are no match for the Great Mongolia.
Hao Hai led 10,000-horse cavalry and was able to kill seven in and seven out of the Kingdom of Poland, and finally retreated unscathed, taking away a large amount of gold and silver treasures and tens of thousands of Polish women.
This shows that the Mongols' combat power is far superior to that of European countries.
Among these European countries, the Eastern Roman Empire had the weakest combat effectiveness.
Even if he has a glorious history, he cannot change the current very embarrassing situation.
Wang Baobao is a robber himself, so how can he be afraid of some illegal shops?
