Conquer the Dawn of Heaven
Vol 7 Chapter 182: Iberian Web
This is a very remote town. The most proud of the people in this town is the assistant deacon who had a parish long ago.
There is a church in the town, but there is no priest. People want to confess to wait until the first few days of each month, there will be a patrol priest from Bellin staying in the town for half a day, then it can be said that the whole town is the busiest At the time, people will wear the best clothes and wait for the priest to arrive respectfully. After presenting the only eggs in their homes or catching the fish caught in the dark, they line up and walk into the church to the priest. To reveal the secret in my heart.
And there is no tavern in this town. Everyone who wants to drink will use the local method to brew a little bit of their own, and never thought of relying on this to make money.
But now, the people in this town have made a small fortune, because an army suddenly entered the town.
But this is a foreign army that they have never seen before and speak a language they do not understand.
In addition, this army was quite savage when they first arrived, and they didn't seem to want to stay in the town for a long time.
Until another Castilian army arrives, then the two sides outside the town are ready to fight.
However, no one knew what happened next. The two sides did not have fierce battles next, but tacitly chose to use the town as the boundary, and established their own camps on both sides of the town.
Then, the town became a place where soldiers from both armies had nothing to do with.
In this remote place, the wine made by almost every household in the town has become the best luxury. Those who have been known by the people in the town are the soldiers of the French army will go to the town to find locals to buy On the previous point, it is clear that the payment was also the request made by the young commander in the Castilian army.
And the young nobleman would come to the town for a drink if he was fine.
Alexander chose to stay in this remote town not far from the Portuguese city of Bellin because he finally received a letter from France.
Uliou was obviously very good in the castles in the Loire Valley, he even saw Louis XII directly.
Louis XII was surprised to see Uliou in his castle.
For this Moorish man, the Dharma King had a clearer understanding than everyone else. This is certainly from Sharon ’s description of the important people around Alexander. More often than not, with the war with Rome Theseia, there was a truce until now The seemingly fragile alliance, Louis XII's understanding of Alexander has also changed time and time again, which of course also includes those around him.
But Uliu's frankly straightforward admiration still made Louis XII send a long period of time before finally understanding what news this Moorian brought him.
When Alexander received a letter from France that crossed the Pyrenees and then passed through Navarre and a part of Castile before it was delivered to him, it was already early February 1502.
In the South, Don Bavi returned to Andalusia unexpectedly raised the flag of rebellion again, and this time his attitude was firm and determined, and when everyone had not yet understood what happened, he The biggest trump card in his hand has been revealed to the entire Castilla.
The appearance of Sister Alfred Sister Ferdinand couldn't help but be surprised, although according to what Don Bavey declared, he knew that the girl who suddenly emerged should be Maria's twin sister, but this did not make him feel a little Was relieved because he knew that a daughter who was not under his control was no different from the enemy.
As for the north, Alexander led the Castilian army to catch up with the French army all the way, but stayed not far from the city of Bellin. At that time, those Castilian generals did not know his intentions. After hearing about the failure of the Castilian fleet at sea, they finally understood Alexander's intention.
After receiving the report of victory at sea, Manuel sent someone to the Castilian army confronting the Portuguese army opposite the Coa Valley to send a document requesting a truce. The King of Portugal was destined to propose a truce at this time. Asked, the Castilians' response was to immediately send this seemingly weird request to Valladolid as soon as possible.
Even the most mindless people know that the Portuguese must have their purpose in proposing a truce after gaining the advantage of victory at sea.
Sure enough, Manuel quickly opened his terms. Castile must admit that the Azores belonged completely to Portugal, and Portugal recognized Castile and Aragon ’s relationship with the Azores route. Right to use.
The condition on land is a truce between the two sides.
Manuel ’s proposal is very realistic. It is impossible to completely block Spain from passing through the Azores to the new colony. As the territory discovered by the new colony becomes larger and larger, the geographical location of the Azores becomes More and more important, if the main sea route between Spain and the new colony is completely cut off, a more intense war may erupt.
Today, Portugal is still more inclined to decide who is hesitant on the two routes. Although Alexander ’s description of the new continent is very tempting, after all, the development of the new route of the East has also invested too much resources. Taking into account the two routes is too much pressure for Portugal.
So before he was sure whether the New World was worth the desperate battle with Spain at sea, Manuel did not want to provoke a maritime war that would be like betting on the national games for both parties.
For Ferdinand, this truce request was too timely.
The bad news that has been received has caused Ferdinand to nearly collapse. He ca n’t imagine why the bad news came after Isabella ’s death. Any of the bad news is a ruthless blow for him. What's more, it came almost at the same time, Ferdinand even once thought it was God's punishment for him.
So when Manuel ’s suggestion was sent to Bariaridot, despite being extremely angry at the outcome of the Azores battle, Ferdinand was still very serious in convening the ministers to discuss the truce conditions proposed by Portugal.
In fact, the Castilians know that accepting Manuel ’s armistice conditions at this time is the only option. The southern rebellion must be quelled as soon as possible. This is not only because of the harm caused by the rebellion and because of the severance of relations with Seville. The huge loss caused, and more importantly, Don Bavey's claim to have another blood heir to Isabella is like a terrifying giant sword hanging above his head for Castile.
Although no one has seen the girl who is called the twin sister of Maria, many people actually secretly believe that this is the truth.
After all, Maria ’s twin sisters died as soon as they were born. This is what everyone knows, and anyone with a little common sense knows that the appearance of the twin sisters is very similar, unless Don Bavey really has the ability. Find a completely similar person, otherwise he will not be able to maintain a lie.
As for the possibility of finding someone with a different appearance, almost everyone ignores it, because everyone knows that if that happens, it will not constitute any threat, even if the girl is really Maria ’s twin sister, Barrialdod can also deny this fact.
So the only possibility is that the girl who was launched by Don Bavi is indeed the sister of Maria who has already been declared dead, that is to say, she is probably the daughter of Isabella.
With such a thought, the court of Bariaridot felt the seriousness of the matter.
"Let Gonzalo do everything he can to quell the rebellion in the South as soon as possible." At this time, even though Gonzalo's arrogant arrogance was deeply disgusted, Ferdinand could not care about those, he only hoped that the southern rebellion war would be as soon as possible. At the end, the best result is that Don Bavi and the girl, whether true or false, died in the war.
Thinking of Juana ’s worrying state of mind, it can even be said that even if the girl named Alft was captured, it was a big trouble.
It may not be that no one will take the opportunity to propose that Juana's spiritual problems will reconsider her qualification to the throne.
And Juana, who is completely incapable of being in a trance, is better than a strange daughter who does not know whether she can master it.
It is for these reasons that Ferdinand decided to accept Manuel ’s truce with little hesitation.
He ordered the Castilian army confronting the Portuguese to stand by on the spot and not to clash with the Portuguese. At the same time, he decided to appoint the royal treasurer, Don Marcos Byrne, as a special envoy to travel to Lisbon to negotiate with Manuel.
Appointing Don Marques Bain as a special envoy is a good opportunity for Ferdinand to think that he can kick this person away from him. As for Isabella ’s private library, Manuel feels that he should not force it to touch it for a while. Unnecessary trouble is better, everything waits until Juana's mood is stable, and then find a way to get control of the private library from her.
For Ferdinand, these arrangements are more helpless decisions.
He knew he had to fight for time and be prepared for the worst that could happen before people had alleviated from Isabella's death sorrow.
It's just that maybe February was really a bad month for Ferdinand. Queen Sicily Laossa Cosenza Astamara sent her messenger to Aragon for the first time, also in early February.
It was Elliott of Taranto who was the missionary.
After successfully persuading Sophia, Ruo Sha seems to have discovered that Elliott has a high diplomatic talent, and now the heir to the Count of Taranto is running in the direction of a professional diplomat, unstoppable.
While announcing the succession to the Sicilian crown, Ruosha also condemned the "Atrocity" of the Aragonese in Sicily in the name of the Sicilian lineage of the Astamara ethnic group. , Ruosha pointed directly to the **** night caused by the brutal and ruthless tragedy of the officials of the Aragon Kingdom in Sicily, and then Aragon gave the Sicilian a "cold and outrageous" brutal rule. .
At the end of the national book, Ruosha warned the Aragonese royal family in very formal terms: "Do n’t try to provoke the war between the two blood-connected kingdoms again, and do n’t let the innocent blood flow more, otherwise I will As a unified, powerful queen of the Kingdom of Sicily and the leader of the Free Trade Union, a war with Aragon is launched, and I can assure you that once this war breaks out, it will never stop on Sicily or the Mediterranean , The entire Aragon will surely face my anger and punishment, so do n’t be unpredictable here. "
This national book was just carried by Elliott and landed in Valencia, and the contents of it have been copied by people and quickly sent to Valladolid.
So Ferdinand saw the state book much earlier than the messenger group.
No one can tell what exactly Ferdinand's face at the time foreshadowed his inner mood. People only remembered that the king repeatedly looked at the copy of the state book, and stopped for a moment after watching it. .
Then, after a while, Ferdinand went to see another diplomatic letter in the name of the Wallachia Grand Duke attached to the national book.
In this letter, the Grand Duchess of Wallachia asked Aragon to ensure that the merchant ships of Wallachia could safely sail within the waters of Aragon, and at the same time, it also requested the smooth navigation of the Strait of Gibraltar.
Ferdinand finally felt an unspeakable fear.
Suddenly he felt like he had fallen into a spider web that was more difficult to get rid of during this time, whether it was by his side, or so far away that he might not know where in his life he had become his enemy, which made He felt an unspeakable fear. It seemed that from the beginning, an invisible black hand had been secretly preparing a large net against him.
Now it seems that the net is finally going to gather up and completely cover him.
Alexander has been waiting patiently. He knows that he has waited so long so he does not care about this short time. These days in Galicia are a rare leisure time after he came to Iberia. He can even talk to Schell A few Frenchmen came to the town to drink together.
The Portuguese have embarked on their New World expedition on the sea. According to his previous description and inspiration, the Portuguese have a much larger scale of understanding of the new continent than in history. They believe that starting from the Azores, along the Parallel dimensions, rather than southwards, can also find large areas of land, which is exactly what the Dutch discovered in history about 30 years later.
Alexander does not think he can stop the exploration of the New World by the British or the Dutch. This is an unstoppable wave and trend. Europeans ’enthusiasm for ocean exploration will never be interrupted by a person or even a country. It is better to let this wave come more violently than to crush the powder and bones that were smashed because of trying to stop this wave.
Spain will soon launch a conquest journey towards the Aztec in the north as it discovers a wider continent. Although this time will not be long, it is enough to give Alexander the opportunity to make more arrangements.
Historically, the North American continent will gradually be divided into several large colonial territories with the successive arrival of Spain, the British and the Dutch. During this period, the Portuguese did not get involved in the North American continent for a variety of reasons. With the competition of maritime forces, eventually the expansion of the Portuguese will be gradually constrained to the South American continent, and then start an endless battle with the Spaniards.
Alexander did not want to see this situation. He hoped that the Portuguese would also join the North American dispute, and even hope that they would compete with the British evenly. Now Portugal obviously has this strength.
Sitting on a stone wall, Alexander leaned comfortably against the trunk of the stone wall behind him. The fragrance of flowers and trees in early spring made people seem to be intoxicated and confused. Alexander's eyes had turned to the distance that he could not see.
"Sher, if one day lets you go to the sea, I mean to go to the other side of the sea, not the Mediterranean, and the Mediterranean is like a bath compared to the Atlantic," Alexander laughed and asked the chief of the side guards, "There are various kinds on the sea All kinds of risks, but once you pass those risks, you can go to a completely strange place with endless wealth. Tell me are you willing to take this risk? "
Shear thought about it, he didn't seem to think that the Duke Master would ask him such a question, which made Shire confused, and then he asked carefully: "Are you saying that you can make a fortune?"
"It will allow you to get the wealth you have never dreamed of in your life," Alexander smiled and looked at the Balkans who seemed to be weighing. "There you can have authority greater than the king, but you have to pay the price. It ’s also great because you have to be prepared to give up everything in front of you, so what are you going to do? "
The Balkans licked their tongues, although the Duke ’s words sounded like a joke, but Alexander ’s tempting tone made Schell involuntarily feel that it might not just be casual talk, and with following him for so long, Shear has seen too many miracles created by the Duke, which makes him no doubt that the Duke may have described a real world.
"To be honest, I do n’t know, sir," Schell finally answered honestly. "After I came out of the mountain, I saw too many things that I have n’t seen before. Just like you said, some things I never dreamed of, so you I believe that there is so much wealth, but if you let me leave you, I am not willing, because I do n’t know what I can do after leaving you ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Alexander looked at Sher a bit at a loss The expression nodded gently, he knew that Schell was talking seriously, although this daze may soon fade away with the habit of gradually leaving him, but at least now for Schell, those wealth and stay in Compared with his side, it is a bit too illusory.
"You will see Cher of all that," Alexander patted Cher's shoulder. "Someday I will go to the sea, then I will take you, and then you will decide what you choose in the future."
It was said that Alexander's eyes were on the people who were walking towards them in the distance, led by a hunting guard.
When the man came to a stop under the stone wall and then looked up at Alexander who was sitting on it and looked down at him, a strange expression appeared on the man's face.
The two looked at each other in silence, and after a while the man bowed to Alexander: "His Duke, I finally saw you again."
"Yeah, I haven't seen you for a long time." Alexander looked at Clean and said.
