Vicenza City.

Alpad III could speak fluent Turkic language.

"Your Highness, it's not that our country is unwilling to make friends with your country, but that things have changed."

"Oh?" Sun Zhaoyong glanced at Bai Jieyou, "At present, our country's intelligence network has been deployed throughout Europe, so why is Bai Jieyou still unknown? Well, maybe the intelligence transmission speed is not fast enough."

Alpad III continued: "After the Grand Duke of Bavaria, Tasirot III, returned to his fiefdom, he secretly contacted the Saxons north of the Danube. By the way, the Saxons there were divided into two parts, one north of the Danube and south of the Elbe River, called the familiar Saxons by the Franks, and accepted the rule of the Frank king, and was called the Frank king north of the Elbe River. On the surface, it was also subject to the rule of the Frank kingdom, but it was actually independent."

"Tesillo III used gold to win over the mature Saxons, and promised to recapture Munich and Stuttgart and then enthrone their chief as Grand Duke Leipzig"

"Wait," Sun Zhaoyong was not so easy to deceive. "As far as I know, don't all the forces in Europe that believe in Catholicism need the Roman Catholicism to be valid? Tesirot III himself is a Christian. What can I do to make the Saxons listen to him?"

"Your Highness", Alpad III said, "In order to prevent the Saxons from becoming bigger, the Franks deliberately named the Saxons in the Elbe River Basin as Grand Dukes. That is, a few years ago, attacked Al Nurfort in Transylvania. After Al Nurfort was killed by your country, the interior was immediately in chaos."

"Until now, no successor grand duke has been chosen. Of course, perhaps the Franks did this on purpose."

"And Saxony did not have a grand duke, but Charles, the eldest son of Pippin III, also served as the grand duke. After Charles conquered Munich, he also served as the grand duke of Bavaria."

(Charlie, Charlemagne, later generations)

"The Saxons were originally in peace with the Franks, but they were a little dissatisfied when they were born in Saxon and had no grand duke, but the Franks never appointed the grand duke. In the current Danube and Elbe River basins, although the Frank Kingdom and the Roman Catholic Church nominally held the right to appoint the appointment."

"In fact, if you choose internally or have the final winner after the war and believe in Catholicism, whether it is the Frankish Kingdom or the Roman Catholic Church, you will agree to appoint him as the Grand Duke and serve as the Bishop of the Region."

"The Frank Kingdom did this obviously to prevent the numerous Saxons from becoming bigger. Whether it is elections or wars, the Saxons will be further divided. The final winners have to obey the Holy See and the King of Franks in order to be the position of the Grand Duke and the Bishop."

"Former Bavarian Grand Duke Tesirot III lost the title of Grand Duke of Bavaria, but he was still the lord of Regensburg. He obviously contacted the entire Saxon nobles and asked him to support himself in regaining Munich, and then elected someone as the new Grand Duke of Saxon."

"You know, although the Frank Kingdom now regards itself as the protector of the Holy See, the Holy See still has more power than the kingdom. If the Holy See takes the lead in appointing any bishop as a certain region, the Frank Kingdom will have to recognize its jurisdiction over the diocese's territory."

"This Tesirot III obviously has a very good relationship with the Holy See, otherwise it would not have promised this."

"But, Charlie, who lived in Trier since childhood, learned about this in advance. Just when the Bavarians and Saxons gathered near Regensburg, Charlie led 20,000 elite troops to secretly arrive near Regensburg and hid in the jungle."

"At night, Charlie's army suddenly went out. This time, they brought a large number of cavalry to use cavalry to disperse the Bavarians and Saxons, and drove them to the ambush place of the infantry, and then defeated them. Tesiro III and the Saxon leader were all killed in this battle."

"Charlie took advantage of the situation and occupied Wuerzburg and Nuremberg near Regensburg, and then went straight to Vienna Castle and Vienna Castle, which was next to the Principal of Nitra."

"Sure enough, Charlie sent a letter to my grandfather not long after, asking him to join the Frank League as soon as possible and convert to Catholicism."

"This scene happened to be learned by Constantine V. He also sent someone north to persuade my grandfather to convert to Orthodox Church."

Sun Zhaoyong nodded, "Tell me, what did Constantine V promise except the Pope's 50,000 gold coins? Their treasury is empty, so it must not be gold coins."

Alpad III's face turned slightly red, "Ahem, of course not, but Constantine V has recently made great efforts. He changed his past method of using tribute to the Bulgar Khanate to maintain border stability, but instead attacked the country in large numbers and won a great victory, and drove all the Khanate's troops north of the Danube."

"The Bulgar Khan had no choice but to sign an agreement to pay a certain amount of food and gold coins to Constantinople every year."

Sun Zhaoyong smiled and said, "It is probably just a part of the food and gold coins to your country."

Alpad III did not speak, so he confirmed Sun Zhaoyong's speculation.

Wei Yingwu said: "Your Highness, since you can come to Vicenza in person, you obviously have an idea in your heart. You might as well say it directly to see if our country can satisfy it."

"Ahem," Alpad III said, "Before coming here, my grandfather and father told me to get along well with the Qin Empire from the East. Our country did not agree to the Holy See and Constantinople, but came to solicit your country's opinions first. Isn't it just for this?

"But you also know that in the last battle between the Saxons, Visvas and Serbs attacked Transylvania, our country suffered heavy losses and the national treasury... it was also very empty. Facing the conditions of Constantinople, it would be impossible to say that it was not moved at all."

Sun Zhaoyong suddenly looked at Wei Yingwu, "Wei Shaoqing, how much trade volume does our country have with the Frank Kingdom every year?"

Wei Yingwu was stunned, but soon understood what he meant, and said, "There are still one million Great Qin silver coins."

Sun Zhaoyong changed to Chinese, "Where is the profit?"

"More than 50%"

"Yes," Sun Zhaoyong thought about it and said to Alpad in Turkic language: "Well, our country can grant the trade concessions west of your country with the Saxons, Bavarians and Franks to your country. I will not hide it from you. The profits of our goods are very high, and our country will give them to you at a fair price."

"You can still make at least 30% of the profits. Nitra, which is next to Vienna Castle, is still your country. If you set up a large warehouse there and trade with the Franks, the profits will be higher. At least 300,000 Daqin silver coins will be recorded every year."

(Nitra, later generations of Slovakia)

"Although it is not as much as the 50,000 gold coins from the Holy See, it is available every year. Moreover, the current trade with them still has great potential to tap..."

Alpad III's eyes lit up, showing that his country had already planned on this matter before he came.

However, he still said: "There is another thing. After our country regained Nitra, the man was unruly and tried to lead the people of the Holy See to Fort Kosice. Naturally, our country did not allow them. They rose up and resisted and were suppressed by our country. In order to eliminate future troubles, our country has moved all the people of Kosice to the south."

"So Kosice was empty. Before coming, my grandfather repeatedly told me that it would be best to give this place to the Qin Empire..."

(Kosice, a city in eastern Slovakia in later generations)

When Sun Zhaoyong heard this, he quickly brought the map, and he understood it at a glance.

"The Aval Khanate is separated from our country by the Carpathian Mountains. Whether it is the Frank Kingdom or Constantinople, if it attacks the Khanate, it will take a long time for the news to reach our country. Moreover, they can rely on the dangerous passes in the mountains."

"Kosice is located south of the Carpathian Mountains and is only one step away from the Hungarian plain to the south. The Avals gave this place to our country, obviously considering that once they are attacked, our country's support will arrive soon."

Of course, he could not make a decision in one sentence, "Your Highness, why don't you go out to have a walk and relax first, let's discuss it."

As soon as Alpad III left, Wei Yingwu said: "Once our country takes over the Kosice Fort, we must at least guard a regular battalion there to support the Aval Khanate. There are very few fields near the Kosice Fort and cannot support a regular battalion."

Bai Jieyou also said: "My country's treasury is not abundant at present, and it has transferred its trade concessions and has to station troops. This is a lot of money. The Aval Khanate is in trouble and it is impossible to provide food and wages to our country."

After a while, Sun Zhaoyong said: "Standard the Aval Khanate and let it form a buffer between our country and the Frank Kingdom and the Roman Empire is the established national policy. Even the trade concessions have been transferred. What is the only formal camp?"
