Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Alexander didn't expect to find something very strange in this house, or something unexpected.

In the secret passage of this house, the guards found a room that seemed to be used as a library. Several large bookshelves listed a book that looked old or had not been read all the year round. The dusty books, and some of the manuscripts that have been rolled out in some years, are placed together, and they look like countless rolled sugar rings.

Among these books, Alexander discovered some books that may not matter to him, but at this time they are too sensitive. These things are often accused of confusion even in the most liberal places of religious thought. , Some will be regarded as a complete heresy.

These things are so clearly placed in this secret room, although the ashes on the cover indicate that maybe Colombo did not know or did not pay attention to it at all, but Alexander found that he seemed to have found another Poe's death found excuses.

But what really interested Alexander was not these discoveries that could justify himself more, but the large amount of notes about travel and exploration that he noticed from the owner of this room.

From the familiar size and market surveys of the ports on the Mediterranean coast, to the customs and special products of some small and large villages traveling along the coast of Africa to the south, this signature "Martin Marin Dao's travel notes record in detail the furthest distance that Europeans can reach from the Atlantic Ocean to the south along the African coast.

On the other hand, this Martin Malindao also recorded a lot of insights and gains from Italy as a starting point, traveling north of Europe, and Alexander was very interested in writing about the control of the Hanseatic League. When he was in the North Sea region, this man had a different opinion in his travels than the envy of others who were full of this unstoppable alliance with great wealth.

"The people of the Hanseatic League are too strong and too united. They have completely grasped and controlled all the cities along the North Sea coast. They will mercilessly strike anyone who wants to violate their interests, just like in those years. Poor King of Denmark, just because of the disciplinary punishment of several fishing boats belonging to the Confederacy, he almost lost the crown on his head, and finally had to exchange his heir's choice for his own position. " Although the comparison is more detailed than other people ’s descriptions of these places, these records were not paid much attention by Alexander at the beginning. He was only interested in the descriptions of the properties and resources in various regions in the travel notes. But the next words broke his idea, he soon found that he seemed to see something terrible, but it is precisely because of this power, I saw the potential danger of this alliance, we can completely imagine a group to get rid of Because of how terrible their lords and merchants controlled by the king, these towns generally acted as members of the alliance. Instead of being proud of being a subject of a certain monarch, their loyalty to the alliance ’s obligations is far more conscious than paying taxes to the king. Even when the king ’s order sometimes violates the alliance ’s interests, these businessmen tend to be It ’s really weird not to hesitate to ignore or even defy the king ’s orders. A group of businessmen would be so stubborn just to protect the interests of a chamber of commerce and even subvert his identity as a secular monarch subject. "

Seeing this period, Alexander couldn't help but think of a person who hadn't seen him for a long time-Hubert Van Groningen.

This Grogening, who can bring Sophia back to her side, is a member of the Hanseatic League, and should also be a member of great identity.

The man was clearly aware of how to use money and wealth to create advantages for himself. From the beginning of his huge support for Ferdinand in Naples, to the subsequent generous support for Joanna, the Hanseatic League seemed to be rich and rich. Behind friends and family is actually disdain and contempt for the power.

Anyone with a distinguished identity will eventually have to succumb to money. The higher their status, the greater the need for money, and the Hanseatic League that holds this huge wealth is the beneficiary behind these nobles.

Alexander was able to appreciate this disdain and contempt, so although Grogening seemed to have extended an olive branch to him, he only expressed his kindness with that man very carefully.

Alexander knew very well that when he was a small person in the Hanseatic League, they might not care about the return on the small investment he invested in him, but when they were willing to invest a lot of money on him, this was equal to In addition to admitting that he has become important, their expectations of him have become greater.

The so-called cannibalism is soft and short-handed. This principle is universal everywhere. Is the Hanseatic League's money so easy to get?

Just look at Joanna to know, because of the money provided by the Hanseatic League, Joanna has to travel around Rome desperately among the nobles, which is not bad for Joanna, who is actually not good at power. An unbearable torture.

"I can hardly imagine how a monarch tolerated the existence of such a group of people. Although they did bring enough wealth to the territory, they only talked about them with contempt when they thought they were full and full. Monarch, I feel that the grown-ups will certainly not be so happy about this kind of thing, "Alexander continued to look at this travel note, and he found that he was a little fascinated." And it is strange that the Hanseatic people used Stubborn, or irrational, way of firmly blocking the territories of the cities along the North Sea coast. They are hostile to everyone who dares to invade their sites, and it is forbidden for any businessman who is not a member of the alliance to prey on their sites. Eat, they control all the share of northern cod, grasp the number of local big cedar trees harvested, and stare at the copper mines in the Swedish mountains like ancient dragons, and these wealth just let the original alliance. The greed of outsiders who are not much favored is more hostile. "

Alexander looked at the travel note with interest. He felt that he had inadvertently found a good thing. He had already guessed that this Martin Malindao should be Connie ’s father, but in his imagination, this failed because of the business. The bad luck should be a somewhat reckless guy, but now looking at his travel notes, Alexander can not help but admit that this is really a person with his own extraordinary views, but also a person who can view affairs from a high angle.

"It would be nice if I could see this guy, but I only hope that this guy is not as difficult as his nasty daughter." Alexander thought so.

The result of killing Colombo is that the entire mine was unconstrained for a while. Alexander had to temporarily assume the role of owner of the Sanero mine at this time. He called all the people who could be helpers into the house, After letting the Bohemians show how sharp they were using sabers, Alexander ordered everyone to continue to work honestly.

As for the workers who seem to have quietly accepted the boss of the mine that had been replaced, Alexander would not be interested in caring.

In fact, he had also seen coal mining in the mine, looking at workers who did not have any technology at all, purely relying on the simplest digging method to work in open-pit shallow coal mines, Alexander could not think of any special way to Change this backward mining method that not only has obvious efficiency, but even most of the veins are wasted.

And he didn't want to change anything.

Although the importance of coal has not yet been fully valued today, the Saniro mine is a huge asset for both Rome and Milan. If you think about it, you have not received the dowry of Lucrezia. Qian, the Sforza family refused to hand over the mine to the Borgia family according to the agreement, and you can think about how important the Saniro mine is to the two.

So Alexander didn't have a sensible idea to fight this mine, because he knew that this place was not what he can remember now.

The wait was always long. While waiting for Rome to reply, Alexander sent several messengers, some of them rushed to Naples, and some were sent to Agrig.

Alexander had a hunch that with the failure of Charles VIII, Italy, which should have calmed down for a while, might have some changes. These changes were unfamiliar to him or even unimpressed in memory, especially when he was After the letter to Caesar was sent out, Alexander was more certain that everything that was supposed to follow the trajectory seemed to have begun to slowly separate from the original.

Knowing the hostility of his son-in-law to the Borgia family, will Alexander VI tolerate Giovanni Sforza until next year?

Giovanni Sforza was able to escape from Alexander VI. There is a lot of evidence to prove that Lucrezia secretly vented her husband, but if things happen in advance, will Lucrezia and Do n’t warn your husband?

So what will happen if Giovanni Sforza fails to escape?

Alexander didn't find it easy to hide on Mount Saniello. If he could still rely on the plausible knowledge of these people and things before to make some judgments, then from now on, he will gradually rely on his intuition to meet About everything that might happen.

The dispatched messengers have not returned yet, but people have been sent from the town of Tampla, and the report says that the damaged bridge has been repaired and can pass,

This was originally a delightful thing, but another message brought by the reporter made Alexander confused.

Immediately after leaving the local parish priest to Temple to investigate the murder of Father Ned, the residence of Father Ned was suddenly burnt out by a fire, leaving nothing left. Obviously the order was given The priest himself did not have any explanation for this move, and according to the reported person, the priest did not return to the parish after leaving Tempura, but ignored the late time and the road was not easy to go, just take People went to Rome.

Alexander realized that he seemed to have neglected something when he was in Tempura, but now a fire has burned everything away, so even if he is confused, he can't help for a while.

But Alexander wasn't just waiting boringly at San Niro Mountain. During these few days, he picked up the musket that hadn't been transformed in a long time.

After a few battles that were n’t really that intense, Alexander discovered many problems with the muskets. Although he could n’t completely solve the conditions, he felt that he could help a little.

In the early days of the matchlock gun, it was difficult to imagine that in order to keep the fire twist burning, instead of extinguishing it until half burned, people would do everything they could when they tried to do something, and some of them often knew to soak in urine and then The method of drying the fire twist.

This method of overwhelming taste has been widely circulated, and is even regarded as the only way to increase the power of musket shooting, and even after a while, if there is no urine odor in your body, it proves that you are not a good soldier. statement.

The soldiers of Alexandria do not need to endure the smell of urination, but flintlock guns bring them more rapid shooting times, but also have all kinds of hidden worries.

The flint embedded in the impact iron sometimes falls off, sometimes it will simply break, and the anvil iron that ignites the gunpowder can not knock the flint out of Mars for various reasons, and the simplest hook as a trigger sometimes When the soldiers were nervous, they were too hard to be turned directly and could not return to position, or they were simply broken. All these problems for Alexander, how much made him headache.

Rome was not built in a day, but Alexander felt that if he could not do something as soon as possible, perhaps his own Rome would never see the shadow.

Alexander began to make people in the mines look for stones that could replace the current muskets, which were stronger and easier to handle. At the same time, he made people find some capable ironsmiths among those mine workers.

"Make a stronger anvil for me, to be able to withstand the kind of forceful beating, and then make sure that the anvil will not fall off easily on the butt."

Alexander commanded the workers in this way, and then he asked people to find good wood from the mountain and carefully made a gun bed for a musket ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ When the disassembled barrel was fixed to the gun bed and polished very smooth After the long groove, Alexander fixed a clasp modified with the clock parts in Connie's house to the side of the gun handle.

Quietly, aiming forward, pulling the trigger, recoil made Alexander's upper body sway. When the smoke dissipated in front of him, he saw that two of the targets in the far row of targets had been knocked to the ground.

"Sir, this is really wonderful," Carlo standing next to him shouted. "It's much more vigorous than breaking the hook first. You know, not every Aggri has a handle. The strength of the hook, and your marksmanship is really accurate, you can be a good hunter. "

"Really," Alexander blushed and handed the newly built musket to the guard next to him. "But I didn't aim in that direction at all."

"Ah?" Carlo dumbfounded.

Just waiting, the messenger returned with Caesar's letter a few days later. There was no comment on Alexander's move, but he was asked to return to Rome.

And just after this messenger, another person who was sent back before also brought back the letter from Uliu, and the letter said that Uliu said that Rome was "something is happening."
