Conquer the Dawn of Heaven
Vol 7 Chapter 236: Venetian
When Compati came to the river bank again, he frowned as he watched the turbulent river.
The Mincho River is already behind. After a whole day of strong attacks, the use of many artillery and well-equipped troops forcibly crossed the river. After paying the cost of more than 200 casualties, the Western Army of the Roman Thesia Army gave The Venetian took a hard blow.
When he cleaned up the battlefield after the war, his men sent two banners to Gompati.
In addition to the banner of a Venetian fighting brigade, it is surprising that there is actually a flag of honor from the Venetian aristocracy.
This should be given to the Venetian army by the aristocracy to encourage morale. Although this flag cannot be compared with the entire army's flag, it is enough to prove that the crossing of the Mingqiao River was successful.
It's just that we have to face a new river now, which makes Gompati a little helpless.
Due to the fertile land in Italy, the grain harvest is excellent, especially in the Lombardy and Veneto districts, which are granaries throughout the north.
Compared to southern Italy, the terrain is complex and the mountains stretch. The not-so-large land like Agri is already a food production area that has attracted much attention, which is enough to prove that the southern conditions are backward.
It's just that the fertile land is exchanged for rivers and rivers. If it was in the past, it may be just because of the inconvenience of traffic, but for an army, such a place where the water network is vertical and horizontal is a natural enemy.
Here is the Adige River, another river that flows parallel to the Mincho River to the south and finally flows into the Adriatic Sea. It is one of the crisscrossing water networks in the Veneto region.
"Adult, if we want to cross the river as soon as possible, locals say that entering the flood season here after June will drive the whole river crazy."
Cararioni reported to Gompati.
Gompati, who was eating sliced chicken on the plate, nodded while chewing vigorously.
He was still very satisfied with Calarioni. This artillery officer who had to graduate from the Bologna Military Academy for his reasons matured quickly.
Before attacking Ming Qiaohe, he sometimes had difficulty deciding to look forward and back because of many things, but now he has been able to calmly deal with many troubles within his authority.
This process is very short, or in fact not complicated, just a victory and an experience.
"Where do you think we should cross the river?"
Compati is not a school exam but really wants to hear Cararioni's opinion.
Cararioni couldn't help but look at the map that Gongpati put on his lap.
This map is much more accurate than the minibus Barrig, and if you see it, you will be very jealous.
"Maybe we should go upstream along the Adige River, and then cross the river directly into Vicenza from there." Cararioni thought about it and said what he thought was the most reliable idea.
"Yes, this is indeed the best, but if this way the enemies across our river might cut off our retreat from behind, or they will simply cross the Adige River again, and we will go forward and threaten Lombardy and even the Po River again. Line of defense."
Gompati said he knocked at the place marked with the Venetian army across the river.
"Then we still have to cross the river from the front?" Cararioni looked a little dignified. The personnel and materials used to cross the Mincho River had not yet been replenished, and the artillery was now extremely lacking in ammunition. The enemy, but our own situation is not very good, and isn’t General Ofrei attacking Vicenza?"
"I really want to help Aufrei, but that is after at least solving my own troubles." Gompati lifted the glass and drank the wine inside, and then sent the waiter to clean up. "Our current situation is to Eliminate the enemies in front of you first, so that you will not have any worries when marching into Venice. As for Aufrei, I believe he can handle it."
Cararioni watched Gompati waiting for his order. He was really worried that Gompati would order the Adige to be crossed from the front.
If that was the case, the only thing he could do was charge with infantry, but command the artillery to shoot.
"But you are right, we can start from the upstream," Gompati looked at the map. "We can't consume troops here. At least the Adige River is not our ultimate goal. Since there is no need to make unnecessary sacrifices. "
He said that his eyes fell on a place called Leniago on the upper Adige River.
"That's it, we cross the river from here."
"Why is this lord?" Cararioni asked strangely.
"Because it's just right here."
Gompati's answer made Cararioni a little puzzled. He looked down at the place called Leniago, and then looked up at Gompati.
"Remember Cararioni, our mission is to destroy as many Venetian troops as possible, forcing them to withdraw from this war, which is now the most crucial, because only in this way can we ensure the northeastern border of Roma Thesia It’s safe, then we can go all out to deal with what happened in Lombardy."
Gompati said he knocked on the village called Leniago on the map.
"There are three options for crossing the river from here, attacking Vicenza north, threatening Venice to the east, and going south along the downstream to encircle the enemies across from us, which is enough for us to take the most initiative."
Cararioni nodded silently, knowing that he still had a lot to learn, at least to keep up with the thought of the army commander in front of him, he was very tired.
"Don't be discouraged, Carragheri," Gumpati patted Cararioni's shoulder. "You are now learning how to be an excellent artillery officer, but you have to learn a lot, I don't just want you Satisfied with being able to command a bunch of cannons."
Gompati's words made Cararioni feel a little excited in his heart.
His age is no longer a young man who may be agitated with only a few words of encouragement, even before he was almost forcibly sent to the Bologna Military Academy and then forced to join the army. Is angry.
However, after a few battles, Cararioni found that he gradually fell in love with this dangerous and exciting life.
He sometimes wondered if if he was allowed to go back to work as an architect, he would still be able to adapt. Perhaps in the battles again and again, the pungent smoke and the roar of the artillery had penetrated into his body, awakening some of his heart. Something that has never been noticed before.
Leonardo Lorette looked out from an obscure bay window on the side of the famous large balcony of the Governor's Palace.
The construction here is very clever and secret. If you don't look closely, you won't find this dazzling variety of sculptures on the outer wall and the bay window with stone decoration.
Cleverly, the cumbersome mullions on the windows also play a concealing role, while standing inside the windows will not affect the sight of observation.
This is next to the famous large balcony room that was greeted by the public during the celebration of the Governor of Venice.
The governors of all generations must stand on that balcony to show his image to the people of Venice when he takes office, and also publicly publish his claims during his tenure.
The other is when making major decisions.
The last time Leonardo Lorette’s predecessor, old Barbaro, stood on the balcony, he announced the alliance with the Roman Thesia army to launch the second Italian war and fight against France.
But when the war was over, old Barbarig died.
Then Leonardo Rollette became the governor of Venice.
"This is a great place to spy." Leonardo Lorette sighed.
"It's also a good place to see through people's hearts."
The governor of Venice turned around and saw a middle-aged man with slightly gray hair and good spirits walked into this small room.
"Master Governor, I am very honored to be invited by you."
The former Secretary of State stood at the door and looked at the room with a touch. He noticed that Rolet retained most of the furnishings in the room, and even the resting couch on the corner just changed the cushion on it. .
Noting the expression of the former Secretary of State, Leonardo Rollette asked with a smile: "Everything in this room is still the same, isn't it?"
"The host is different," the former secretary of state, who had become a member of the House of Lords, felt a little sighed, and then looked at the new governor and said, "Londoba is a good soldier, he inherited his uncle's wit and intelligence."
"So you are going to train him to be the heir to Barbarage?" Rollette asked gravely.
"Look at this again. After all, he is not so mature. I mean he is indeed a good soldier, but he is a bit younger to become a leader."
The former Secretary of State stretched out **** to draw a small meaning, "I mean we don’t want him to fall on the road in the future, so it’s best to let him leave the battlefield now, you know now with the Roman Thesia It is very unwise to do it right."
Lorette looked blankly at the person opposite him. Although the old Barbarig had died, his family was still the most powerful family in Venice.
The man in front of him is now a decisive figure in the Barbaric faction.
But what makes Wright really care is what the other party revealed.
Obviously, the Barbarig family wanted to train Rondoba Barbarig to be his uncle's heir.
This means that the Barbarians will not tolerate the aristocracy as a victim of Rondoba Barbarig.
Lloret thought about it and said, "I can consider bringing him back from the front."
"But will this affect his reputation?" The former secretary of state seemed slightly worried. "If that happens, it may be a little trouble for him to lead the Barbaric family in the future."
Lloret frowned secretly, and he vaguely felt that the other party seemed to be coming not only because of the minibus Barrig.
"So do you have any suggestions?" the Governor asked coldly.
The former secretary of state didn't answer immediately, but pushed an unsigned document to Rollette.
This is a book of transfer of property, which clearly says that there is a businessman who is willing to sell his own piece at a very favorable price. The fertile olive grove is sold to the governor of Venice.
The former Secretary of State is the notary of this transaction, and since then the two parties have never owed money.
"But I didn't remember that I had done this sale." Lloret pushed the transfer book back to the other party quietly.
"Don't rush to refuse, or you should first understand the situation of the olive grove," the former secretary of state said casually and handed another document to the governor. "Of course, this is only a personal reward for you, but please believe Me, we can also work with you on official matters."
"Oh?"
This remark by the former Secretary of State drew the attention of Rollette.
Since becoming Governor, Lorette has been very careful. He knows that he must not only deal with the greedy devil in the aristocracy, but also be careful of his opponents in the past.
Now he has become the kind of person he tried to overthrow, and his opponents began to plan all day how to drag him off the governor's throne.
So he became more cautious, which naturally included those who tried to bribe him personally.
Leonardo Lorette is not a morally noble person. His accumulated wealth also has a **** smell, and his process of becoming governor is not so bright and upright.
But he still thinks that no one can bribe him, at least no one can touch him with such a big pen.
Rollette flicked the closed document in front of her finger.
When he saw the content inside, his face, which had no expression on his face, was finally slowly surprised.
The Secretary of State seemed to be very satisfied with the Governor's appearance. He glanced at him proudly and immediately looked down at the Governor of the document.
At the same time, I was secretly thinking about how to use the favorable situation in front of me.
Lorette looked very quickly, but after reading it he turned to the beginning of the document again, this time he looked much slower.
"It's crazy." Lorette looked up.
"But it's not unrealizable, isn't it?" The former Secretary of State didn't panic about the Governor's questions.
"The aristocracy will not pass." The Governor said again.
"So this requires us to come forward, and as long as you give back a little bit of what we do for you, you can become a hero of Venice, as you said in your inaugural speech, you will protect the well-being and interests of Venice and the Venetians , Is there anything better than this to prove your determination?"
"But it's still very risky, and I can't help but doubt that even if this ambitious plan is successful, I probably haven't been able to wait for this honor, and the real benefit is probably Barbara Greg."
"This is not necessarily impossible, after all, such an ambitious plan may really take many years to realize, but no one can obliterate your efforts in it, isn't it, after all, you started this plan, future history It will also list you as one of the greatest governors of Venice, which no one can deny."
Speaking of this, the former Secretary of State shrugged: "In addition, you yourself said that this plan will take a long time, so what are you worried about, Rondoba Barbaregg may be able to become the governor of Venice with this plan, but What was the point for you at that time?"
Lloret looked at the secretary of state in front of Baba Ryger during his administration. He could not help but admit that this man has a mouthful that can be moved.
He knew that the other party was implying that he might wait until Barbara Gregory became the governor, he was already dead, or he was too old to serve as governor of Venice.
I thought that maybe that was the case at that time, and Leonardo Lorette couldn't help it.
Just looking at the plan, he was somewhat hesitant.
"But it says that "to establish a strong alliance with the future Kingdom of Castile and Aragon", and even form a common fleet with them to deal with the Ottomans," Lloret tapped the document lightly with his finger, sending out The clear sound of "Wha La La" "So you are so optimistic that the Queen of Sicily and the Duke of Rome Thesia can win the battle for the throne?"
"Excuse me, this is actually a very smooth proposal. We can admit that the monarchs of these two kingdoms are the brothers and sisters, but if they fail, we can also be interpreted as an alliance with Ferdinand. After all, we are allies. "
"This is really a smooth suggestion." After listening to the explanation of the Secretary of State, Lorette murmured. He looked a little absent-minded, making it impossible to tell whether he was approving or ironic.
But the Secretary of State clearly does not care about these.
"You can submit this proposal to the aristocracy, and our people will go all out to support your proposal, so that you can become a hero to revive Venice, and once you really succeed with Castilla Establish a joint fleet with Aragon, then we can launch a counterattack against the Ottomans and recover the lost overseas territory."
"And once this proposal is passed, we will naturally cease the war with the Roman Thesias, and Rondoba Barbarig can return to Venice in a stately manner?"
The former Secretary of State did not answer the Governor's words, but shrugged shoulders incomprehensiblely. It seemed that such a result was just an accident.
Luo Laite thought for a while and slowly picked up the pen. He took the book next to him and looked at it, then dipped it in ink and signed his name on it.
Seeing the signature on the document, the Secretary of State secretly relieved, but he did not leave immediately, but continued:
"Also for some special reasons ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ I hope to get an amnesty order from you first."
As soon as the former Secretary of State's words came out, a surprised expression mixed with surprise and confusion appeared on Leonardo Lloret's face.
He didn’t speak immediately, but stared at the other person for a while before asking in a dull tone: "Can you tell me why you got such an amnesty order, or tell me who you are asking for this amnesty for?" ?"
The room fell silent for a while, and after a while Lorette slowly said, "Tell me, what did he do in Rondoba?"
When the sun was down, the former secretary of state came out of the governor's house.
He quickly got on a boat waiting on the pier.
Someone was waiting for him on the boat.
Seeing the former Secretary of State, Machiavelli smiled with a sincere smile: "Everything is going well, Master Secretary of State?"
