48. Unrest on the peninsula

Portugal is becoming more and more uneasy, and the people living here are also feeling the turbulent waves hidden behind the peace.

Prince Siglas had already sorted out his troops and headed straight for Ceuta. Earl Warren also brought his men to gather the Portuguese naval fleet and stood on standby at the port.

The royal guard captain Nathan has also taken the royal guard to wait at the port.

In the Algarve region, all merchants also stopped building shops and overseas trade, and everyone was closely watching the development of the situation.

There were only Archbishop White and Tim who stayed in the empty Algarve Palace.

Archbishop White looked at Tim and smiled slightly: "Your Highness, everything is moving in a good direction. Although Selivia was the territory of Castile before, the faith of the residents there was very firm. It was easy to preach. Especially after I attended the public missionary meeting several times in a row, the people in Selivia have completely stabilized. We don't have to worry about the rebellion in Selivia this time."

"Well, thank you Archbishop White. If you have a bishop in person, the effect is naturally extraordinary. I will send someone to distribute food to Selivia. In addition, Bishop Renner and others are still continuing to preach in Selivia. I believe that in this way, Selivia will be more stable." Tim also praised Archbishop White with a smile.

Archbishop White sat down on the chair next to him and said with a smile: "Yes, we can prepare for this war with peace of mind."

"Master Bishop, what do you think of this war?" Tim sat in the chair powerlessly and looked at Archbishop White next to him. Compared with Archbishop White's calmness, he was very nervous at this moment.

Archbishop White smiled lightly with the cross in his hand: "What war is your highness talking about specifically? Is it Lisbon or Ceuta?"

"All the Bishops have your opinion?"

Archbishop White smiled, very holy and kind: "No matter which war is, it is fought to spread the glory of the Lord. The Lord has already arranged a position for them in heaven and hell, so we are waiting quietly."

Listening to Archbishop White's words, Tim's heart was filled with ten thousand niggas, and it was still in a nonsense.

Archbishop White seemed to see Tim's dissatisfaction, and he changed his subject: "Don't your highness know the result in his heart? Why do you still ask me? Yes, the Battle of Ceuta will be even more dangerous, because even if the pagan country you face is personally directed by His Excellency Prince Siglas, it is probably a little bit of a disaster. If Your Highness can consider giving up Ceuta now, it will be too late."

"Oh! Let's see." Tim breathed a sigh of relief: "Uncle should be able to block it."

"Sir, are you ready?" Tim changed his mind and brought the topic to Archbishop White: "This battle of Lisbon is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We can take this opportunity to deal with Archbishop Johnson in Cardinal, and by that time..."

Tim said and made a click action.

"…………….” Archbishop White was silent, but his body was already trembling. The silver cross in his hand fell to the ground from his hand, making a banging sound.

Looking at his expression that was so excited that he tried hard to be excited but desperately controlled, Tim also felt funny, and at the moment he just let him deal with his irritable emotions.

"I'm ready, I've been ready for a long time." After a while, Archbishop White made an intermittent and hoarse voice, and anyone could hear the trembling in his voice.

"Since that's the case, let's clean up and go to Lisbon." Tim got up first and walked out of the hall. Archbishop White followed and stepped out of the hall.

Everything that happened in the Iberian Peninsula has quickly spread throughout Europe and even North Africa. At this moment, everyone's eyes were attracted by the Iberian Peninsula, and even several kingdoms have the idea of ​​taking advantage of the situation.

"There are so many wars in a small Iberian Peninsula. First, Castile and Granada fought, and then Aragon attacked Castile. Now that the King of Portugal has passed away, the princes are about to have a civil war, which is interesting and interesting." The Austrian king stared at the map of the Iberian Peninsula with a smile. If Austria was not too far from the Iberian Peninsula, he would have wanted to take advantage of the situation.

The Denmark's king also frowned, and felt a pity in his heart that Denmark was far away in Northern Europe. Although he also wanted to interfere in the economic and trade of the Mediterranean, it was difficult to extend his tentacles to southern Europe, so he could only sigh.

After receiving the news about the Iberian Peninsula at the Vatican Palace, Pope Jujin IV did not immediately convene a Vatican Congress as before to mediate the conflicts between various countries. Instead, he chose to watch coldly and had no intention of helping any country.

As time goes by, the war on the Iberian Peninsula continues to heat up, and several powerful countries such as Castile, Aragon, Tunisia and other countries have been restrained by the war on the Iberian Peninsula and cannot take into account the Mediterranean trade.

In particular, Portuguese merchants, who were known as one of the three Mediterranean giants, were completely withdrawn from the Mediterranean competition due to the domestic civil war, and all their merchant ships were used to transport French army.

Soon, a big gap appeared in the Mediterranean economic and trade circle. This large area of ​​gap only stimulated other countries to scream. For a moment, small countries around the Mediterranean seized this rare opportunity and began to jump happily.

The Republic of Genoa and the Republic of Venice both stopped their struggles and turned directly to send merchant ships to expand the scope of trade. Genoa directly touched the waters near Barcelona, ​​the capital of Aragon, and the Republic of Venice even involved trade in the Strait of Gibraltar in just a few days.

All Italian city-states have also sent fleets to actively be active between the Atlantic Ocean and the Red Sea.

The Kingdom of Morocco was even more eager to recruit troops to approach the Ceuta area, and his fleet began to frequently start operating on the edge of the Portuguese waters.

In short, the entire Mediterranean region is particularly active.

…………

In the Lisbon Palace, Portugal's King Joao I was buried, and the one who lives in the Lisbon royal palace is Duarte and his son.
