Chapter 260 The Hungarian incident comes to an end

(Some clips... Moral freaks should be careful)

The recent events in Hungary have also caused discussion in Constantinople. The sudden appearance of Duke Pozzoni made Mircea worried that there would be twists and turns in the relationship between Hungary and Rome in the future, so he sent an envoy to Buda with the intention of spying. Get some information on this guy.

After defeating the Shinra army, the Croatian army withdrew before it even left the border. Not to mention Bosnia, the two countries are just waiting for the judgment to come.

After devastating Vienna and Styria, Duke Pozzoni returned to Hungary with the spoils of war. According to the descriptions of the people watching by the river, the booty brought by the Duke was enough to load several large ships.

Because of his status, Albrecht didn't embarrass him so much and just offered to let him go after handing over 300,000 gold coins. The remaining knights, lords, counts, etc. also offered prices, ranging from 200 to 10,000. Given the current situation in Austria, I am afraid that they will have to sell their real estate.

In order to prevent them from escaping, the Duke gave them a very novel torture device. A piece of wood with a hole in it for people to pass their heads through and then lock it. A piece of wood weighs dozens of kilograms and needs to be worn for about ten hours a day, and people must be locked with chains to prevent them from escaping together.

Such punishment is simply torture to them. These gentlemen have never experienced such punishment. They might as well kill him with a knife.

When the Duke of Pozzoni returned victorious, Mary naturally held a feast and invited all the nobles to share the joy of victory.

"This time the Duke won a great victory, and the kingdom can live in peace for a while."

The nobles were very happy, they no longer had to worry. Those who are not convinced and the property of the Shinra people belong to them.

"The Duke of Pozzoni has arrived."

Following the attendant's shout, Peter, wearing black clothes and an iron mask, walked into the banquet hall. Everyone fell silent and looked at this newbie on the battlefield with curious eyes.

Mary was naturally also happy. She leaned forward and almost stood up excitedly. But she still maintained the majesty of the king.

"In this war, thanks to the Duke's efforts to turn the tide, the safety of the kingdom was ensured. It must be well rewarded."

Mary asked the herald to read out the decree, canonizing the Duke of Pozzony as Grand Prince and also the national commander of the Kingdom of Hungary. This made him the actual person in power in Hungary. With his status and land, there was no one else in Hungary.

Mary turned a blind eye to the surprise of the nobles around her. She knew that no one could save her and could only rely on the prince in front of her. If you don't win over him, who will you rely on in the future?

Of course, in addition to these, she also prepared other gifts for the prince. So he left the hall at the end of the banquet. Peter also drank some wine and was going to his room to rest. His room was next to Mary's.

Just as he was about to enter, Peter saw that the door to the next door was ajar. He wanted to remind the other party to close it, but he froze when he looked into the room. It was the king's room, and she was changing clothes.

Mary is nine years older than Peter, but years of maintenance have made her look like a girl in her 20s, plus she exudes charm. Peter finally couldn't hold it back and entered Mary's room...

One night can change a lot of things, it can also change history, and of course it can add some stories.

The next day, Mary began a government change. On the recommendation of the prince, Count Pinsk became the chief minister of the Kingdom of Hungary. Some remnants of the Catholic Church and the old aristocracy were also replaced by the Orthodox Church and the new aristocracy.

Hungary's agricultural conditions are good, but the terrain, which is high in the east and low in the west, is extremely vulnerable to attacks from the west. So Count Pinsk followed the prince's wishes and began to build a fortress in the west. At the same time, he sent people to Constantinople to establish good relations with Rome.

The relationship between Hungary and Rome further deepened, and envoys sent by the Holy Roman Empire also arrived in Buda. Frederick, Count of Sauron, came to negotiate peace with Hungary.

Mary was the first to speak, "What did Zigmund ask you to do? We shouldn't have anything to talk about."

"Your Majesty the King, I am here for peace between the two countries this time. The people have suffered enough, and I hope to reach a peace agreement with your country."

"Peace, don't forget, Zigmund is the one who destroyed peace. I can't forget everything he did to Hungary. If it weren't for the prince's help, this place would be his."

Mary made no secret of her hatred for Sigismund, and if it weren't for him, she wouldn't have chosen to confront him. Don't you think it's a little late to talk about peace now?

"Your Majesty, don't say that. The wars in the past few years have caused great losses to both countries. Do you want to watch tens of thousands of people flee into exile again?"

"Isn't that what you forced me to do?"

The harsh words ended, and then came the negotiations between the two countries to reach a peace agreement. The most important thing was to redeem the captured nobles. Count Pinsk quoted a price of 650,000 florins according to the standards given by Peter. But Frederick thought it was too expensive and proposed to discuss it, just like buying vegetables at the wet market.

650,000 florins. Although his brother Count Nuremberg was rich, he did not have that much. Not to mention that he spent most of his time supporting Sigismund, so he had to lighten his burden a little.

After bargaining, Hungary reduced the price by fifty thousand. 600,000 florins is already the greatest sincerity. Upon seeing this, Frederick had no choice but to agree. Hungary had pressured him to negotiate the entire negotiation. This result was naturally beneficial to them. After all, Hungary won, not them.

The two sides signed a peace treaty in Buda. The HRE paid 600,000 florins to redeem the prisoners. The German army withdrew from Hungary. Sigismund was not allowed to claim the Hungarian throne. The peace treaty was valid for twenty years and would be renewed after that time. .

Sigismund said this himself, in order to stabilize Hungary. Anyway, he has the support of so many old Hungarian nobles. As long as Mary dies, he will bring them back to this land when the time comes, and the church will also support him.

As for the Duke of Pozzoni, I had not seen him show so much kindness before. When he was captured, I must torture him with the most cruel punishment.

But now, it seems that I have nowhere to go. Fortunately, Jobst was not like Wenzel who would not save him until death, so he gave him half of the Duchy of Luxembourg, that is, the Duchy of Lower Luxembourg. However, his power in Eastern Europe has been greatly reduced, and those who support him in Shinra are also considering whether to wait and see. How could he endure this? No, he was bound to win the position of King De.
