Economic development requires a stable environment. After Zhao Ren seized control of the army of the Kingdom of Israel, the Crusaders' offensive on Jerusalem came to an end.

The Crusaders diverted their targets, pointing their troops towards the territory of the Seljuk Empire, because they found that when fighting the Seljuk people with the Jews, the Seljuk people were easier to deal with, at least they did not have such terrifying weapons and no indestructible cities.

This idea is very correct and forced, because both the emperors of the Roman Empire and the Holy See were ordering the army to launch an attack on Seljuk.

The reason is very simple. The South China Sea fleet of the Song Dynasty arrived at the Port of Civitavecchia not far from the city of Rome. This port has been completely occupied by the Song Dynasty, and all the merchant ships of the Song Dynasty landed here.

This port was also renamed Dongfang Port. This was not a rename of the Song Empire, but a common name that was accepted by the world.

The prosperity of Oriental Port is eye-catching. The Roman Catholic first discovered that Gregory VII had given the port to the Song Empire before apologizing was an extremely stupid act.

But Gregory VII, as the Pope, must be forever correct, so there was another statement that the Pope gave the port to the Song Empire in order to bring more trade to the Roman Empire.

However, what the Holy See did not expect was that the merchants of the Song Empire did not regard the city of Rome as the best place to trade, nor was it a necessary way for goods.

The reason is very simple. Merchants of the Song Empire regarded Dongfang Port as a transshipment port, and all goods from the Song Dynasty would be concentrated here, and other small boats or merchant ships would be transferred to other Mediterranean port cities.

There are many countries in the Mediterranean and their trade is very developed. The navigation technology of the Song Empire was able to connect all maritime trade routes.

So the Roman Catholic Church, especially Gregory VII, discovered that it seemed that it had made a decision that might harm the Roman Empire for a long time.

Of course, Rome is the person with the greatest benefits, and this kind of benefit is the most unspeakable thing that the Holy See has suffered the most, because the interests are very limited, and it is a pity to throw them away, but if you don’t throw them away, you will regret it.

Gregory VII cursed Yan Shu's viciousness more than once. He compromised when he put pressure on him. He thought it was just a small port town, and the Song people's goods still had to pay taxes through the city of Rome when they arrived.

But now seeing the ships entering and leaving the Oriental Port every day and the ships leaving the port completely avoiding the city of Rome, Gregory VII only felt his heart bleeding.

But what shocked him even more was that Henry III died, and his son Henry IV completely inherited his father's rights, leaving only the only coronation ceremony that needed the Holy See had not yet been held!

This made Gregory VII very angry. The Holy See had installed a lot of spies in Speyer, so why didn't anyone pass the news back?

What a great thing was Henry III's death, how could it be hidden from everyone?!

Gregory VII did not know that behind all this was related to an Earl named Charles, who was also an existence that would subvert the Pope and the power of the Church in the future.

A shrewd baron was appreciated by Henry III before his death and was quickly promoted to Earl, a nobleman who was loyal to the Frankian dynasty, had a complete set of methods to rule the empire.

And now he is teaching Henry IV carefully, hoping that he can achieve unity, a true unity of the Roman Empire.

After the South China Sea Fleet landed in Oriental Port, it sent a delegation to Speyer, which was a respect for the Roman Empire and the Roman Emperor.

Obviously, in the eyes of the Song Empire, the emperor of the Roman Empire was much more important than the Roman Catholic Church, because the mission passed by the Holy See but did not meet the Pope... and then passed through the Roman city openly and set out on the way to Speyer.

The Song Empire now has a very strong influence. Whether in Seljuk, in the Kingdom of Israel, or in the Roman Empire, its influence is extremely powerful.

This is not only because of the Song Dynasty's commodities, but also the army and fleet of the Song Dynasty.

When the South China Sea Fleet arrived at Dongfang Port, the scene of covering the sky and sun made the merchants from the outside of Dongfang Port terrified and dumbfounded. They did not understand how humans built these giant ships.

In Western records, only Noah's Ark can match it, but Noah's Ark has long disappeared from this world, and no one has seen it look like.

The Shenzhou giant ship period in front of him was so powerful that the Romans doubted their lives, and once again made them subvert their imagination of the Song Empire. What kind of empire could build such a huge number of giant ships?

So in order to make the majesty of the Song Dynasty and the Romans more understand, Shi San conducted a live-fire exercise, targeting a forest on the edge of Dongfang Harbor.

When hundreds of artillery roared together and made trembling whistling sounds, the entire Dongfang Port fell into silence, followed by the cheers of Song merchants and the laughter of officials.

The entire forest was destroyed and destroyed, and many thick trees turned into broken thick branches, and this place was about to become an expanded land for Dongfang Port.

Before the live-fire exercise of Rat III, it happened that the envoy of the Roman Catholic Church came to warn the expansion of Oriental Port on behalf of the Pope.

But after seeing the live-fire shooting of the South China Sea Fleet, he did not have the courage to warn the officials of the Eastern Empire. He could only come to the visit with the friendly tone. He gave him a big hug at the time of parting.........

Gregory VII finally understood how sad his original promise was. Now the fleet of the Song Empire was erected at the "gateway" of the city of Rome, and there was no possibility of reclaiming the Oriental Port.

If this fleet is allowed to enter the Roman Empire along the estuary and approach the city of Rome, disaster will come to Rome!

So the city of Rome set up a large number of concealed and wrecked ships at the entrance of the Tiber River, with the purpose of preventing the entry of the Song army's sea ships. Large ships could not pass through this channel at all.

Unfortunately, Shi San had no intention of taking the fleet to Rome City. The order he received was just to station in Dongfang Port and obey the order at any time!

And that half of the tiger talisman was in Zhao Ren's hands, but Zhao Ren had no plans to use it for the time being. The relationship with the Holy See was not yet time to break up.

The fundamental purpose of the envoy of the Song Dynasty to Spyer was to formally recognize the status of Henry IV, and at the same time announced to the entire Roman Empire that the Song Empire recognized this young heir and recognized that he was the emperor of the Roman Empire!
