After occupying four important coastal towns along the Papal State to block its escape from the sea, the Ming Navy did not continue to attack the Papal State, but instead attacked Sicily and Sardinia.

Just after the Ming army conquered Florence, the Ming Marines had occupied the coastal areas of Sardinia and the Kingdom of Sicily.

The only cities of Rome and Milan remain in the entire Italian region, as well as parts of the Kingdom of Sicily.

After Jiao Lian's army occupied the city of Milan, Zhu Youxiao ordered his main force to rush to the Kingdom of Sicily, and met with the main force of the Ming army, Fu Dahai, after occupying the Kingdom of Sicily in a big way, after a large detour, the Fu Dahai Army was the main force of the Ming army.

Pope Alexander VII also learned about the loss of the two fortresses in Florence and Milan, but he had no choice but to beat his hands and feet, so he had to gather the remaining troops from all over the place and return to the city of Rome.

At this time, some panic began to appear in the city of Rome. This ancient city, which had been more than 2,000 years, would have to face the fate of being dominated by the Orientals.

Zhu Youxiao was already standing on the platform and looking at the city in the center of Catholicism with a telescope. He could even see the priests walking around in panic, and even the huge bullfighting ring.

In his previous life, he had never been to Europe, nor to Rome, but he never thought that in this life, the city wall would become his own belonging.

The Ming army had begun to remove peripheral fortresses, and artillery fire was spreading everywhere. The Italian coalition was still fighting tenaciously with its strong fortifications, but it was also futile. A medieval country that had not yet launched a capital revolution could not resist an industrialized country like the Ming Dynasty.

With a loud bang, the Ming army finally opened a gap in the solid wall of Rome, and the tide of army soldiers rushed in.

Looking through the telescope, I saw only civilians and nobles who were so scared that they were running around.

It took about an hour to come that the city of Rome returned to peace. Every ten steps inside and outside the city, there was a Ming army soldier guarding it. In the Vatican, the Roman Holy See was surrounded by heavy troops.

The Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao, wearing a winged crown and wearing a regular dress, walked into the city of Rome.

Looking at the towering Vatican Cathedral, Zhu Youxiao was a little reluctant to let him down in a while and this symbol symbolizes Western culture.

However, in order to achieve the unity of world civilization, he must do so.

Pope Alexander VII and more than a dozen other surviving archbishops were standing tremblingly in front of Zhu Youxiao. They were about to kneel in front of Zhu Youxiao and accept Zhu Youxiao's reprimand.

Otherwise, they would be sent directly to the cross by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and let them follow their God.

However, they were used to life of wealth and prosperity and were unwilling to die, so they chose to surrender to the Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Youxiao.

"Dear Emperor Ming, you are God's darling. Congratulations on your possession of this beautiful land now. Everything here is granted to you by God, and you can enjoy everything here!"

Pope Alexander VII bowed deeply to Zhu Youxiao.

In his opinion, the rule of the entire Italian territory of the Ming Dynasty has become a foregone conclusion, and he has to accept the reality that an Oriental man has taken away administrative power. However, he did not think about giving up religious rule. He naively believed that the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao would only greed for administrative rule in the Italian region and was not very concerned about religious beliefs.

What's more, as a pope, although he had never been to the Ming Dynasty, he had also heard that in this distant Eastern Empire, the control of religious beliefs was not so strict, and religion was different from imperial administration.

Therefore, Pope Alexander VII hoped to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Youxiao. He hoped to serve Zhu Youxiao's expansion with his lofty status in Catholicism and exchange for the lofty status he could still enjoy in Europa.

Therefore, when the city of Rome was broken and his last fantasy of rule over Rome was broken, Pope Alexander VII chose to take the initiative to show his kindness to Zhu Youxiao.

As the saying goes, looking at the Pope, who was over 60 years old and had a white beard in front of him, who saluted to him so humbly, and was a person with a high status in the entire Europa. His status was even less than that of the Gong of Confucius, who was also respected by the Ming Dynasty, which made Zhu Youxiao feel a little satisfied.

You should know that the great glory that Napoleon received at the most glorious moment in history was that he was awarded the title of Alexander VII.

Now, seeing the crown held by Alexander VII, Zhu Youxiao knew that he was going to give him a crown, but this means that his power was granted by him by Catholicism and God.

Zhu Youxiao did not accept this award. As a mature politician, how could he easily fall into Alexander's trap?

Zhu Youxiao walked straight into the lobby and admired the gorgeous lamps and lifelike Western paintings.

When Alexander VII saw that Emperor Zhu Youxiao did not accept his crown, he felt a little disappointed. However, when he found that the Ming emperor was interested in watching religious figures in oil paintings, he rekindled his confidence, and mistakenly believed that although the Ming emperor Zhu Youxiao was as cunning as a fox, he was not uninterested in the Catholic Church. He might be able to gradually develop him into a religious first.

"This one with broken arms is Vienna, she." Before Alexander VII finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and asked him to stop: "I know, that's Cupid."

After hearing this, Alexander VII was even more happy and thought that this Eastern emperor seemed to have some understanding of his Catholicism. In this way, there would be greater hope for him to become a believer. Moreover, specifically, the Easterners had no faith, but they were also very good at developing him into a firm believer.

Therefore, Alexander VII was even more determined to develop Zhu Youxiao into a Catholic believer.

"Dear Emperor Ming, I wonder if you own the entire Europa, or even the entire Catholic world?"

Alexander VII decided to surrender the nobles and preach to Zhu Youxiao himself, and used the greatest desire of a politician as bait.

Zhu Youxiao simply replied: "Is this a big deal? If you don't want to rule the entire Europa, why bother with such a big deal?"

"In that case, your Majesty can know that the Catholic status of the entire Europa world is very high. If I support you, you will get this land more easily, especially Florence, France, England, etc.."

Alexander VII said again, "Did Your Majesty have such an idea when he looked at these sacred paintings?"

"My only idea now is to burn these paintings!"
