Rome.

This place, known as the eternal city, was unwarranted by everyone here, and today it encountered a sudden misfortune, which will surely make this place different from now on.

The Mediterranean Sea is always calm, because it is surrounded by continents on all sides, so there is no wind and waves. However, on this day, when countless huge ship shadows appeared one after another, with the roar of artillery that shook the sky, a catastrophe that fell from the sky had begun.

The Holy Roman Empire has always been in a feud. Since the Frank King donated this city to the Holy Roman Empire, and the Holy Roman Empire established the Pope here, the Pope has been competing for dominance of the peninsula. Therefore, most of the troops were placed in the northern border of the Pope. No one had expected that a great enemy would suddenly appear on this sea.

The roar of artillery fire and the rain of fire falling from the sky gave people a sense of catastrophe like a destruction of the world and burning the city. When many places became in a mess, a large number of enemies began to land on the coastlines and began to use firearms to clear the fortresses along the coast.

It didn't take long before the center of the Pope, the location of the Holy See, had already changed hands.

Hurd and others landed in high spirits. This was once the country in their hearts, but now it has become the root of backwardness and a despicable and shameless distribution center.

Hurd touched his raised beard and looked at the church in the distance, where the fire was spreading, but he felt a sense of pleasure.

Soon, Hurd met a man in black robe. He looked at the other party disdainfully, and then said in Latin: "I am hereby admonished by the Emperor's order that all public, church and private property in the Papal Kingdom and the territory are now protected by His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty will become your shelter. Please stay in the place where they should be and not move around. This is an extraordinary period. If all unpredictable consequences occur due to your uncooperational attitude, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and I will not bear any responsibility. And, I hereby announce that this... will become the Franji of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. In order to make His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty live happily here, you must..."

Speaking of this, he quickly took out a piece of parchment paper, which was filled with dense lists. He squinted his eyes and looked at it seriously, and then said, "A palace must be provided, as well as enough servants, as well as food for military supplies, and..."

The other party looked at Hed in shock for a long time. He obviously didn't understand what His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was.

Although Hurd, although not a qualified diplomat, for the winner, the art of diplomacy is actually not a necessity. Hurd only needs to express his requirements clearly.

What I need, what you have to provide, what consequences will be caused if you don’t suit me... This... is the attitude that the winner should have.

The man in black robe finally breathed a sigh of relief, because at least in this person's opinion, the other party was willing to communicate.

Many times, as long as the other party is willing to communicate, it means that the lives of the vast majority of people in the Pope have been saved.

Hurd was not in a negotiation at all. After saying his words to the black-robed man as if he was giving orders, he happily looked at the quaint city that had changed hands.

A large number of people, led by Heard and others, have begun to continue to occupy the Jinjiao area outside the city with ease. Many Portuguese nobles have visited the Pope, which has provided great convenience to the Ming navy.

After a while, someone quickly came to report that His Majesty had already landed. When Hurd heard this, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he had no intention of being negligent. He hurriedly went to meet the car.

His Chinese language was becoming more and more smooth. When he saw Zhu Houzhao from afar, he bowed directly and said in Chinese with Beijing accent: "My de Hudd takes over, long live my emperor."

Zhu Houzhao looked at the city, but he showed disappointment. At first he heard that this was the center of the entire Franchise. He thought it must be an amazing capital, but soon he discovered that the city actually did not have much characteristics and felt a sense of gap. However, he was still happy about victory, cheered up and said, "Has it been handled there?"

Hurd said respectfully: "I have already passed the message."

"Very good." Zhu Houzhao curled his lips and showed some majesty, "Since I have decided to settle here, here is my doing. If you pass the orders, all departments will obey the orders at any time. Hurd, I have appointed you as the governor of the show and recruit local personnel as auxiliary troops. Tell them that as long as I am willing to serve with me, I will all be rewarded, but if anyone dares to have any evil intentions towards me, haha... I will be killed without mercy."

After all, he was the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. Over the past ten years, he had finally received the education of countless emperors. Although in the hearts of many people in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao acted recklessly and was like a scumbag, but he was still easy to make trouble for a papal country.

At this time, he said again: "Now, you immediately post Anmin's notice, I will come here without any harm."

"Yes." Hud looked solemn, but he was already overjoyed. This meant that Zhu Houzhao had confirmed his status among the many prisoners, and he was now considered a close minister around the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Houzhao did not delay any longer and soon moved into the Palace of Quirinale, but now there is a new name called Franchising.

Zhu Houzhao was very dissatisfied with the decoration here, but now, it is obviously not the place he wants to change.

During these days on the ship, Hurd and others made a lot of knowledge about Franchise for Zhu Houzhao. Whether it was astronomy, geography, or Franchise countries, Zhu Houzhao had made countless big and small marks on his map, such as the Kingdom of France, Spain, and the Holy Roman Empire. Zhu Houzhao made red marks.

This means that the strength of these three countries is the least to be underestimated. However, near the Pope, there are two Sicily, Tuscany, Lucca, Modena, Sardinia, Parma and Venetian countries. These princes of all sizes are mostly vassals of the three major countries.
