Eagle Flag of Epirus

When the Venetians had gradually noticed their existence, Justinian naturally did not relax at all. Brought the army back to Nafplio from the sea and then turned to Argos and finally headed to Tripolis. Justinian deliberately did not choose land. One was because the time was shorter, and the two were more convenient. It is to prevent the sensitive nerves of the Latins through the city of Corinth. After all, if you just choose to surrender, if you take the team with you, it will definitely cause the opponent's suspicion and cause unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, after Justinian returned to Tripolis, although there was some commotion, nothing happened to the whole Peloponnese.

When Justinian led the army back to Tripolis, he immediately received an unprecedented warm welcome. Before arriving outside the city, in the surrounding villages, there were already people who came to reward the army. They were the farmers around. Although the gifts they sent were crude, they showed their hearts. Justinian naturally accepted this, and on the contrary, he also gave a generous reward-one gold coin per person.

At this time, Tripolis has become the new capital of Moria under the deliberate construction of Justinian. Due to various reasons, the influx of large numbers of people and resources has made the city's economy not only recover quickly, but even Beyond the pre-war, in Genoa. With the funding of pizza merchants, the former royal raw silk workshop was also revived and put into production. In this era of war, it made a small profit.

However, all of this is not the credit of Justinian. Instead, it should be attributed to Her Royal Highness Princess Odosia who moved here. It is precisely because of her that she has come to preside over the overall situation during this period of time, so the refugee resettlement and the return of Italian businessmen Can be properly resolved. By virtue of her status as a princess, this suppressed the hawks of the Moria nobles who absolutely rejected the Latins.

This woman is indispensable for the people in the city to live and work in peace. After learning that Justinian had returned with the army to victory, Odosia also specially held a grand triumphal ceremony for this.

However, Justinian, who had just arrived outside the city, was not surprised by this, but Tian Long, which was staggered outside the city, which originally made him feel that the big land problem had been arranged in order. Under the help of Odosia, the peasants who had fled because of the war came out of their hiding places one after another. Both the Latins and the Greeks were treated fairly and immediately put into production. The previously confiscated land was also quickly allocated, but it did not directly become the military area public land as Justinian expected. The wise princess leased a small part of the land to farmers who wandered from other places. This is also true. Some kind of emergency method, but effective enough, quickly solved the military commander's problem that Tripolis once faced an awkward situation due to population expansion. It was precisely because of Odosia's identity that after she made this decision, although the original Moria nobles were very dissatisfied, she finally had to acquiesce in this fact.

This was originally what Justinian was most worried about. Because the military situation was urgent and he couldn't take care of Tripolis’s problem, Justinian had to shelve his previous plan. He had been worried that the old nobleman would take advantage of it while he was not counterattacking. Into. However, Princess Odosia solved this problem for him, and even handled it more perfectly, which made Justinian not happy.

At this moment, I have to say that Justinian’s view of the princess Odothea has also greatly changed. Before learning about all this, he had always thought that the other party was a gentle imperial empress, but It now appears that she not only has a noble soul, but also inherited the outstanding abilities of her mother, Empress Euphrasene Ducarina Kamatra.

It can be said that the greedy and mediocre old guy Alexey III was able to sit on the throne and sit on the throne to a large extent because of the help of his queen. It's a pity that even the best woman who puts on such a husband will eventually be exhausted and helpless with the empire's gradual decline. But fortunately, she has a really good little daughter to help Justinian, who has a headache in internal affairs.

Finally, Justinian brought the army to the town of Tripolis, and the guard of honor that had been lined up outside the city had been waiting for a long time.

In front of the front cavalry array, the lead rider raised his head and looked at the coming Justinian with a reverent gaze. He couldn't hold back his excitement and said, "I wish you eternal blessings for your triumph. Lord Justinian, you defeated the evil Latin invaders in Athens and regained our sacred land~www.ltnovel.com~ God bless Rome, we have won—long live the empire!" After speaking, the rider The joy, excitement and admiration on his face kept shouting loudly, and this excitement soon infected the crowd gathered behind him.

The cheering heat wave, one wave higher than the other, the people climbing on the edge of the city wall all wanted to see this legendary governor, and there was a voice of joy in the crowd, "Master Justinian triumphed." Up!"

"Long live the empire!"

"God bless Rome!"

"Hurray, hooray!"

At this moment, this scene is like welcoming an emperor to the triumph. Although there is no solemn golden triumphal arch, and no solemn grandmaster leading the priest to pray before the true cross, this pair of Justinian and the victorious teacher behind him The welcome is beyond words. After the death of Emperor Manuel, people have not seen it for a long time.

Especially Princess Odosia, who stood among the nobles, felt even more profound about this. In fact, when she was born, the entire empire was already sunset. And his father has always been just an innocent monarch who is scheming and obsessed with power. Even though there is his own mother who is wholeheartedly trying to make up for her bad governance, but the faint-hearted Alexey III finally committed the scandal of assassinating the chancellor of the finance, making her face completely lost. At that time, the bad news that came from the four realms was always the invasion of foreign enemies, and there was never victory at all. Knowing that in the end, the Venetians came here with the so-called crusaders, and under the lead of little Alexey, this once great empire fell apart. Even if Odosia is just a weak woman with no hands, she feels the same, so she feels the precious victory of Justinian even more. Ever since, in her opinion, a more grand triumphant ceremony is justified.
