Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

In a huge room in Pisa City Hall, Alexander stood at the door of the room and looked at the passage directly leading to the central hall.

This passage is very long, but a little narrow. There are several closed doors on both sides of the passage, because the ceiling is a semi-circular dome, which makes the whole passage look deep and full of solemnity.

"This is the original palace of Zaroni's house?" Lucrezia, who was standing in the room, looked at the surrounding furniture with some disappointment, and saw the old furniture that was somewhat expensive although she was expensive. I saw their family when the Ni family fled to Rome. They looked so shabby and pathetic. I thought they were throwing their property in Pisa, but now the city is really poor. "

Alexander looked back to see that Lucrezia had ignored her. He probably could imagine what Lucrezia meant by the so-called richness. In fact, this can be guessed from the astonishing dowry every time in her marriage come out.

Why do I always think of her few marriages?

Alexander couldn't help asking himself so secretly, and then he had to admit that he was more concerned about her now than he had paid attention to Lucrezia only because of various rumors.

It was just that whenever he thought of Lucrezia ’s rich love life, Alexander felt that he really did n’t know which words were more serious.

The entrance to the city hall obviously made many pizza people feel excited. They ran around in the city hall. Although they had experienced a looting of mercenaries before, they were looted except for some valuable small objects because of the short time and inconvenience. In addition, many large sculptures and paintings inconvenient to take away in the city hall are perfectly preserved.

A rapid footsteps came from the end of the channel, Alan Gompati came in a hurry. Since taking office, the new captain of the city defense has shown a rare diligence and dedication, so that it has been so spirited late at night.

"Sir, when will the Pope's army come?" Gompati asked anxiously in his face. "I just got the news that a Venetian army is crossing the river. If it goes well, they will be able to get through Algeria tomorrow morning. River Nuo, by then it would be dangerous if the Pope ’s army did not come to Pisa. "

Alexander looked at the uncomfortable Gumpati in his face and thought for a moment, thinking that since they would know the truth sooner or later, they might as well tell them.

"Reinforcement won't come that fast," Alexander pointed to himself and Lucrezia behind him, the two of us, and although as far as I know there should be an army from the Vatican nearby, they did not know what happened here everything of."

The look on Gompati's face changed. At that moment, Lukreziya felt that she had never seen such a wonderful change in her life. From hopeful to dazed, to complete despair, Gompati's face There was a series of changes in an instant.

Then he almost shivered and said, "What are you talking about? You won't tell us that there is no reinforcements, and your identity is not ..."

"No, our identity is true, and we are indeed the Pope to help you, but you must understand that the Venetians did not happen to all of us, so you must listen to me while waiting for reinforcements. Order, or maybe Pisa will be occupied by the Venetians before the reinforcements arrive. "

"But you said ..."

"I said before that we didn't expect the Venetian to come." Alexander said, waving his hand.

He did not expect that the Venetian would suddenly send troops to raid Pizza at this time, but when he thought about it carefully, Alexander also understood that the Venetian's hand was really an unexpectedly clever arrangement,

As a neighbor of Florence, Pisa ’s port has been responsible for Florence ’s gateway to the Direnian Sea for many years, and the poor relationship between Florence and the Vatican clearly makes the Venetian feel that even taking the opportunity to capture Pisa caused Florence ’s dissatisfaction, but In view of the fact that Venice is now fighting with their common enemy, the Vatican, it is probably only a temporary default.

Figured this out, Alexander had to admire the governor of Barbarig in Venice, who was really an old slippery man who could take advantage of this.

In fact, a few years later, Venice used the opportunity of the war between the Vatican and the Holy Roman Empire to gradually infiltrate the Romagna region, so that later the Vatican had to temporarily put down the grudges with the French and unite to drive the Venetian power.

Now, while the governor of Venice was taking advantage of all the attention in the northern region of Romagna, he suddenly sent an army to attack Pisa. It must be said that the timing was just right.

"Organize the city defense to resist the Venetians," Alexander commanded, and then he said "Arrange me a few reliable people, I want them to send us a few letters, but it is best to find some smart, because I I do n’t know where the souvenir is. "

Gompati nodded slightly. He no longer knew whether Alexander was lying to him, but he knew one thing. If the people of Pisa outside were aware that the aid of the Holy See in their minds could not arrive in time, maybe It will drive them crazy immediately.

After hesitating for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and nodded, but he saw a sharp expression in Alexander's eyes.

"I know it's too late to say anything now, but if you cheat me again ..."

Before he finished, Alexander had interrupted his words: "It's not good for me to deceive you, but you just have to think about what kind of reward you will get if I said it is true."

The huge amount of tax for 6 minutes and a half made Gompati shut his mouth.

He just learned that when negotiating with his father, Alexander proposed that all mercenaries should be under the command of the city defense committee, and that the 6 and a half tax must also be collected through the city defense committee. As the captain of the city defense, he will undoubtedly It is a member of the committee who is not tolerant.

Despite the doubts about Alexander's promise that the reinforcements would soon arrive, when he thought of the huge sum of city defense costs, Compatiti finally nodded fiercely.

"Well, I know what to do, and I will send the messenger you want immediately." Compatibi said with a deep look at the two of Alexander. "I hope what you said is true."

"Don't you worry that he will betray you?" Looking at the left Gumpati, Lucrezia asked with some concern. "Maybe he will give you to those outside when he gets angry."

Lucrezia asked with some concern. She didn't know why Alexander wanted to take the initiative to admit that there was no reinforcements. Those who would come to her might hear the news about her in Florence when she wanted to come, and it would naturally come by then. Save her.

Looking at the doubtful Lucrezia, although he knew that the occasion was not suitable, Alexander walked over, and after looking at her slightly, reached out and gently raised her hand, and lifted her behind her in the whisper of Lucrezia. At the office desk.

"We have to wait for reinforcements, but we must first ensure that the Venetians will not come in, otherwise everything will be in vain. As for this Compati, he will not betray us if he does not want to be torn into pieces by those angry pizzas."

He lowered his head slightly and kissed Lucrezia's soft lips.

"If the Venetian is not approaching, I hope his messengers will find those who will come to your rescue later."

"Why?" Lucrezia's voice was a little gasping, and her lips were a little hot because of Alexander's touch. She couldn't help leaning forward to catch the man's lips, and when the two people's lips were sealed again, her Hands clasped Alexander's shoulders tightly.

"Then we will have more time." Alexander kissed Lucrezia hard and got out of her arms. "Do n’t you ask me if I want to be the Duke of Pisa, I think I have told you the answer Now. "

Talking about Alexander raising his hand to make an invitation gesture.

"Madam, please go to the main hall. I think many pizza people are eager to see you now."

Alexander guessed right, and after the initial panic, Gompati finally chose not to tell the truth to others.

Not only that, he also found a few trusted men to recommend them to Alexander according to Alexander ’s instructions, and looked at and listened gracefully to the seat of the Duke of Zaloni and later the chief custodian before sitting on the throne. Lucrezia, who complained and complained about the Pisa, Gompati could only secretly pray that Alexander said true after all.

The mercenaries of Pisa are still quite qualified. In fact, with the successive years of war between the city-states on the entire peninsula, the mercenaries who can survive are not simple, so after hearing that the Venetians are advancing The dad immediately dispatched several teams of scouts, and after investigating for almost consecutive nights, he finally figured out what the Venetians were doing.

Although the Venetians live on water all year round, it refers to the native Venetians, and such Venetians who are willing to be soldiers are almost all incorporated into the Venetian navy, and for those mercenaries, crossing the river is not that simple. Something happened, especially at night.

So the Pisa quickly got the news that the Venetians had camped not far from the river bank after spending part of the team.

At this time, the city of Pisa was almost controlled by the rioting people, or for ordinary pizza people, although the Republican government suddenly disappeared, but as long as they did not affect their lives, there would not be much reaction. .

The Pisa officials who Alexander ordered to captive played an important role at this time.

When he had just entered the city hall and had a thick stack of fiscal books in the hands of an indifferent, low-level official, Alexander already had some headaches. Although he knew that this kind of thing should be taken over by a dedicated person, but now But only by hands.

After seeing the dazzling data, Alexander regretted taking these things.

But this is not the worst. What really makes him feel stunned is that Pisa's finances are much worse than he guessed.

Although it was once claimed to be a maritime power in the Mediterranean region like Venice and Genoa, this is after all a matter of years ago. It is because with the gradually becoming a strong position in the regional Mediterranean trade, Pisa talents will be unable to bear the incompetence of the Zaroni family Stupid, and finally ousted the family that had ruled Pisa for nearly 60 years.

So looking at the series of headaches, Alexander finally decided to recruit all the officials and talk to them.

Although some people were beaten to death by rioting, but after waiting for the city hall, the captured officials were less worried about their fate.

Looking at Lucrezia, who was sitting in the chief position and watching them, it was the Pizza who was secretly convinced by her beauty and calmness. This was the last doubt of the pizzas who had seen the world.

They knew that these two people should come from the Vatican as they said. Although this beautiful woman might not be the daughter of Alexander VI, she should also have an extraordinary background.

Looking at the young man sitting at the side table and looking down at the accounts, the former senior officials of a few pizzas did not know how to describe their moods.

"I need your cooperation," Lucrezia extended to the officials with a ring engraved with the emblem of the Borgia family. "If you will work in the new Pisa government, I will consider pleading with my father for you. , Forgive your previous crimes. "

Lucrezia's words did not get an immediate response from the officials. They hesitated to look at each other, and there was a lot of scruples in their eyes.

"Don't you believe my words?" Lucrezia was a little angry and felt that she had been despised.

"Are you worried about the Zaroni family?"

Alexander thought of their thoughts vaguely for a moment, and then saw the answers from the faces of several pizzas.

"You can rest assured that I can guarantee that the Zaroni family will not trouble you," Alexander smiled at the few people. "And I can tell you here that Pisa will not return to the Zalloni family, so In the future, you will hold positions under the new government instead of the Zaroni family. "

The words of Alexander made some officials suddenly look strange when they looked at him. They looked at Alexander and then Lucrezia. After a little hesitation, a man who looked like the most prominent of these people from them Came out.

He first bowed slightly to Lucrezia, thanking her for their promise of forgiveness, and then the man turned to look at Alexander, and said respectfully, "Observe your orders, lord, we are willing to do our due diligence in the new Pisa government."

Listening to this pizza man ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Alexander didn't necessarily have a happy look, he looked at these people, and then pushed the account book directory in front of him.

"The Venetians are coming. If you do n’t want to be ruled by the Venetians, start working immediately. But now I want you to prepare at least 5,000 florins for me, because maybe tomorrow we will have a tough battle to fight, here I used to arm enough pizzas as soon as possible, so start working now. "

As Alexander stood up, he waved slightly to Lucrezia and motioned for her to leave with herself.

"Do you believe them?" Lucrezia asked quietly as she walked out of the room.

"I don't care if they will be loyal to me," Alexander didn't care. "Because I know that the pizza people can only choose to be on our side, otherwise they will become a vassal of Venice or Florence."

Speaking of which, Alexander looked up at the deep night sky and then looked at the leaning tower under the stars.

"Tonight is doomed to fall asleep, let's go to meet the emissaries of Florence."
