Conquer the Dawn of Heaven
Vol 4 Chapter 39: Tuscany under the sun
Berri really did it, he ate a good lunch and drank enough wine, and then he threw down the carriage and the man without hesitation.
He came and went in such a hurry that even Carlo, who was originally planning to go with him, disappeared without even saying hello.
The dislike of Alexander made Berari also hate the Aggris. In his view, upstarts like Carlo and Orflaire are not qualified to deal with him.
Looking at the back of Burley who had left in a hurry, Alexander standing on the balcony outside the protruding dome shook his head slightly.
He certainly wouldn't care what Burelli thought, but thinking of the things he brought, Alexander still felt that maybe he should be better for Rusha, the half-brother.
In addition to the precious diary that Alexander regarded as knocking on the door of the Carolingian palace, he also brought in a total of 2,000 Florin gold coins.
"It's something I lent to you, or you can also see it as an investment," Ruosha said in the letter. "I believe you will be able to make more money for me, so I put the money that should belong to you in advance. That pre-expenditure will come, and then I will slowly deduct it from our port input. "
Looking at the statement in the letter that seemed to be deliberately alienated, Alexander could only secretly shake his head. He could imagine how difficult it would be to withdraw such a sum of money in those places where the profit was just showing up. The initial investment must have taken a lot of effort.
Looking at the beautiful signature at the end of the letter, somehow, Alexander lightly kissed on top of him on a whim, and then he couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous about his behavior like a childish first love.
Am I in love?
Alexander shook his head helplessly. Since Sophia left, although he seemed to have forgotten the memories in his heart, he actually missed Sophia all the time.
Because of this, although there is a nominal fiancee, he never thought of having an intimate relationship with Barenti, because whenever that happens, he always thinks of Sophia ’s spirituality and always Angry eyes.
As for Lukrezija, Alexander himself could not tell what was the relationship with her.
Everything seems to have changed from the moment she hijacked her. Even looking back, Alexander sometimes wondered who had seduced him first when they came to this stage.
As for Ruo Sha, no matter in the past, now or in the future, as long as one day he is thinking of walking in this world under the name of Joel Modillo, then he and Ruo Sha cannot have any closer relationship, at least The half-sister's name completely separated the two of them.
As written in his letter, even if someone proposes to Rusha one day, he has no reason to stop it. Perhaps it is this desperate isolation that makes the kind of thought between the two of them become More intensely.
Ruosha actually knows everything. Alexander understands that Luosha actually knows the false name of the brother-sister relationship that does not exist between the two, but she chooses silence very tacitly.
Is it because of love?
Alexander asked helplessly in his heart. He knew that even if he knew the answer, their current power could not change everything at all.
Unless he is willing to give up that dream that is too far away, but Alexander knows that it is impossible, when he appeared in this world in the name of Joel Modillo, he could only go forward.
2000 Florin seemed quite a lot, but Alexander knew that in fact the money would soon be spent.
Soldiers killed and wounded in two consecutive battles need to be expanded, and the damaged weapons need to be repaired and replenished. Although he has a lot of supplies in his hands, these things cannot be turned into money for him to spend where he needs.
It is obviously a slow process to realize the money of these materials. During this time, Alexandria can only count on the Florin provided by Rusha.
It was really an intimate "sister", Alexander sighed inwardly, and at the same time a deep affection also made him miss Luo Sha even more.
It ’s been a long time since I saw Rasha, and after thinking about it in his heart, Alexander put this idea behind his head.
He has a lot to do now, and if you think about it carefully, you might even feel that time is really tight.
In addition, what he keeps paying attention to is the day when it means too much for many people.
On May 5, 497, this day is destined to change the fate of many people.
On this morning, people will find Giovanni Borgia ’s body floating on the Tiber River. Someone stabbed two knives from his back, and the deepest visceral knife wound was about Giovanni ’s. Life, and then his body was thrown into the Tiber River, and a loyal follower was killed with him.
Alexander could imagine what kind of chaos would be when that day arrived, and how sad Lukreziya would be in the face of such a sudden change.
Despite being more intimate with Caesar, this does not mean that Lucrezia does not love her other brother Giovanni.
In fact, Lucrezia is very clear about the gradual gap between Caesar and Giovanni, and she has tried more than once to make her brothers return to good. In her mind, family is always the most important, so She is even more intolerant of this kind of indifference and hostility between loved ones.
The day of the 5th is definitely the most painful day since Lucrezia ’s birth. Alexander feels that it is best to let Ruosha stay with her at this time.
In addition, with the death of Giovanni, whether it is the Borgia family or just Rome, there will be huge changes. If Alexander hopes to get the news of Rome as soon as possible, Ruosha becomes his biggest help.
In fact, when Giovanni showed him some kindness, Alexander once thought about whether he should intervene in this matter, thus completely changing the fate of Giovanni Pogia.
After all, a Borgia who has handed him an olive branch is very important to Alexander now.
At that moment, looking at Giovanni smiled at him and turned to leave, gradually disappearing into the shadow of the sunset light, Alexander had a urge to stop him.
Alexander at the time could clearly feel the impulse, and he also believed that as long as this step was taken, he might change history completely.
But Alexander finally chose silence, and he silently watched Giovanni's figure gradually disappear from the back, until it disappeared in the trajectory of his destiny.
It's not a good choice to use a Giovanni, who may change the state at any time, in exchange for a historical direction that he is no longer familiar with.
Because of such considerations, Alexander did not take a step that could change the fate of many people.
Bishop Tony Della Rovere has not been seen for two or three days since the day of the fight. Alexander estimated that he should be busy with his business during this time.
So when he appeared again, Alexander guessed that there should be some eyebrows about pimping him and those Florentines.
Along with the bishop running around in the castle, and about the movements in Florence, in addition to the bishop, Alexander also heard a lot of new news from the merchants in Pisa.
As a very pure person in the spiritual world, Savonarola has strict requirements on the Florentines in addition to his strict adherence to Benedict's canon.
He forbids all entertainment, because it is a bait to lure people into the trap, and he also prohibits most art, even the creation of serious religious subjects must be reviewed and interpreted.
After seeing a lot of paintings created with fresh contrast between light and dark, Savonarola could no longer tolerate this "something that sold his soul to the devil", so he ordered the destruction of those **** portraits, He smashed all the unsightly sculptures he thought, and even destroyed several arts and workshops that he regarded as obscene.
These actions of Savonarola shocked everyone, even some of his supporters could not help but start to shake.
But Savonarola is still firmly performing his great action as the messenger of God in this world to wash the dirt.
Florence, the most active and passionate city in this era, is under the rule of a person based on extreme personal spiritual cleanliness.
In the eyes of this person, there is no color, even gray, in the world. The only thing is black, which indicates the suffering of **** Christ, and white, which symbolizes the glory of God.
Alexander could understand what kind of opponents Tony de la Rovere said were, and he could even guess how the bishop might have bargained with these people.
The nobles who were dissatisfied with Savonarola ’s rule, the guild leaders who were resentful because they were treated unfairly, and those who overthrew the Medici ’s rule, but found that they were not able to The bottom people who get any benefit there.
Such people can cover almost every corner of Florence, but not many people dare to really show their inner emotions.
This is because Savonarola has one of the most rigorous intelligence networks available today.
It is difficult to imagine a person with such a noble sentiment, but he is keen to use the approach of darkness as a spy, but Savonarola is farther away in this respect than anyone of his time.
Using servants to monitor their masters, husbands to monitor their wives, and children to monitor their parents, and Savonarola publicly regarded reports and whistleblowers as evidence to test whether a Florentine was pious to God.
It can be said that in Florence under his rule, no one is not monitored, and no one is not betrayed.
Such **** gave Savonarola enough power, and it was because of this that he could carry out his series of reforms without hesitation, or even directly confront Pope Alexander VI.
It ’s only a matter of time before such a person is overthrown. Alexander feels this is normal, especially when the person is too confident and always thinks that the people are definitely on his side. The seeds of betrayal are actually already on the land he rules Buried deeply.
Just have to open the frozen soil by yourself and let this seed germinate?
Has the Republic of Pisa been overthrown before overthrowing a pioneer of the Reformation?
Alexander feels that he seems to be moving closer to the opposite role of the so-called "public enemy" in history. Think about it one day when people in the later generations open the history books and see that his names are all "dictatorship" "reaction" "feudal" The words “drive backwards” are linked together, and Alexander feels a little depressed.
Another thing that caught Alexander ’s attention was the repair of the castle of Montina
Although knowing that building a castle like the one depicted on the paper was never a short-term matter, Alexandria could not wait.
In another two years or less, Louis XII, Duke of Orleans, who succeeded the French throne, will lead the French army back, and then a protracted war will begin.
And what Alexander had to do was to build a breakwater for his Montina territory that could at least withstand the tide of war that swept through for the first time in this short period of time.
As for what happened after that, according to Alexander ’s plan, either his strength was enough to prevent him from threatening Montina from anywhere, or he would have nothing, and by that time, he would n’t care if he could keep a Mongolian. Tina.
Although Pompeii is a father who likes nagging and picking, he becomes very serious when he is a craftsman, and he is even stubborn.
So when Alexander asked him whether he could consider using relatively cheap gravel as a supporting dam in the early trenches of the castle, Pompeni immediately refused to accept this suggestion. He even threatened to resign immediately, insisting that he must use the large Block stones to complete the work.
"I've seen the cannons of Compati, and the deep pits of those shells are scary," Pompeni explained to his persistence. "Think of an enemy's cannon, once it hits the edge of the support dam. The gravel will immediately collapse the entire trench into a pile of mud, and by that time the trench will no longer be of any use. "
Alexander had to admit that Pompeni was right. The previous shelling in Pisa has proved that the digging in a hurry, the trenches on both sides of the **** without any support can not withstand the artillery blow, and Alexander will not Naively think that the enemies in the future can't think of a simple way to destroy the trench with artillery.
At least the French have done this more than once.
But Alexander also knew that he didn't have so much money in his hand for the craftsman to build the castle of his dreams.
"Do what I said, otherwise leave my castle," Alexander decided to be a "tyrant". But I will also order that you will no longer be allowed to enter my army training camp, then you think Ashley does not have yours. Is this good? "
Pompeii looked at Alexandria dumbfounded. He could hardly imagine an Count actually threatening him so shamelessly, but think of how to keep her daughter with a group of soldiers all day long, especially when there is another next to him. A coveted leader of her army, Pompeni chose to be a smart man with only a little thought.
"Don't cry, my superintendent leader," After a small blow to the craftsman, Alexander still felt that he should comfort Pompeii. He embraced the craftsman's shoulder and walked toward the door while promised casually. " Rest assured, you will get the construction cost, believe me, I care more than you whether this castle is strong, but I think you should also know, maybe when we all lie in the grave, maybe You wo n’t see the final completion of Montina, so do n’t worry too much. After all, it ’s a huge project that not only costs money but even consumes our lives. ”
Listening to Alexander's comfort, Pompeii shook his head helplessly. He knew that Alexander was right. The construction of the castle of Montina was not only completed in a short period of time, and may have to wait until his grandson was getting older. Only then can you see the final masterpiece.
Thinking of this, Pompeni suddenly felt that it was time to find a mother-in-law for her daughter.
At least this way, there is no need to worry about the day when her daughter was abducted by a soldier.
A rhythmical drumbeat came from outside the castle, and Alexander couldn't help looking in that direction. From afar, he could vaguely see a team of soldiers line up in rhythmic drumsticks in different vertical and horizontal queues on the open ground Around the line, a group of idle people and children are watching these interesting soldiers with interest.
"Go forward, stand up, hold a spear, hold the line, shoot."
Even if he could not hear the repeated orders of the officers, Alexander could imagine that they were repeatedly shouting these boring and unpleasant passwords at the same time, and the soldiers had to repeatedly practice these to make them A tactical action that is about to endure.
Model Army, this is Alexander ’s name for this small unit.
And he has reason to believe that, for his own sake, a future protector of England should only find another name for his beloved army.
Seed and model, this is the role that Alexander hopes these soldiers can play.
Go forward, stand up, hold a spear, press the line, shoot!
Repeated training ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Repeatedly repeated, even in the wind and the sun under the Tuscan sun and sweating training, what kind of army will be created? !
This summer, in the Romana's Montina, Alexander is planting the next batch of his seeds, and all he has to do is wait patiently for these seeds to germinate, grow, and eventually become a towering tree.
Bishop Tony is still working part-time in his pimp business, and Calgino has been impatiently urging to get rid of those "bargains" as soon as possible.
But Alexander was always waiting patiently, he was waiting for that day to come.
On the evening of the 4th, the originally good weather was suddenly overcast with clouds, and the dark sky looked as if something was about to fall from the sky.
Alexander came to the fortress position where Gunpatti set up the artillery. Looking at the door through the green bronze artillery, Alexander walked over and patted the thick gun body.
"Can I believe your artillery? Or can I believe you, Compati?"
Alexander asked aloud in the thunder that accompanied lightning in the sky continually escaping from the clouds.
"You can trust me even without these artillery pieces, Lord!" Gompati replied equally loudly.
"That's good," Alexander turned and patted Gumpati's shoulder hard. "Remember your promise, I will give you Montina!"
On the 5th, Montina was calm.
On the day of the month, Alexander recalled all the squads patrolling the territory.
Early morning, July 7!
A messenger from Rome rushed through the layers of rain, and he rushed into the castle of Montina. In the exclaimation of the people, the messenger turned over immediately!
But in his mouth, he kept shouting intermittently: "His Majesty the Pope ... Gumbre ... Back to Rome!"
