Conquer the Dawn of Heaven
Vol 4 Chapter 96: "The Lost Princess"
Compared with a few months ago, Montina seemed much more lively. In addition to the locals who were originally doing business in the small town, some strange faces from foreign towns appeared on the street.
These people have different clothes, but they can still be seen as merchants. Unlike the merchants in Pisa, these merchants seem to be a lot more careful. They will not swarm because they hear a message, like a shark who smells bloody. Generally, he rushed to the prey, but would whisper to three or five groups to gather together. After a result was negotiated, a leading businessman would be recommended to negotiate with the other party.
These businessmen are careful and cautious, and they even take a little precaution, seeming to be afraid of being cheated.
For this situation, Alexander knew that it was unlikely to change in a short time.
Although Pisa is very close to Montina, behind-the-scenes traffic and almost semi-isolated news exchanges keep most people from knowing what is happening elsewhere.
Especially in the interior, this situation is even more obvious, and the kind of madness that can appear in Pisa is entirely due to the results of the pre-formed free trade zone between the coastal cities.
Inland, this free trade zone approach is more complicated.
This reminded Alexander of Lu Sha again, and he had to admit that Lu Sha's expression was beyond his expectations. Originally, she thought that she could be satisfied as long as she could do it well, but now look at Lu Sha The performance can be described by perfection and genius.
Perhaps, Lu Sha was born to be a material for business. She just inspired her this ability. Alexander sometimes felt that if she was in the position of Valenti, perhaps her achievements would be high.
Barendi is very hard and very serious. She seems to have a natural sense of responsibility to the family. This sense of responsibility may not even be seen in some men today.
But Barenti is not smart, she is the achievements that she obtained with more hard work than others.
In this respect, Barenti is not as good as Ruo Sha.
As for Lucrezia, Alexander began to silently count "his women" one by one, thinking of Lucrezia, Alexander was somewhat helpless.
He knew that Lucrezia loved him very much, at least for now, but if she could not be restrained as much as possible, her love would sometimes become uncontrollable because of wildness, so even after leaving Pisa, Alexander had already advanced Ready.
As he said to Uliu, at this time, whether out of pure love or personal ambition, he would not let Lucrezia leave him.
Alexander sat at the table and looked at the hard letter paper in front of him. He remembered that he had been sitting like this for some time, but he didn't write a word from beginning to end.
In fact, he didn't know how to write this letter.
My fiancee is having trouble with me, because I let another woman have a baby?
And my sister is also condemning my teacher for this preparation, because I made her feel left out?
These things must not be written unless he never wants to see that person again.
So what do I write? By dumping commodities in Florence, my plan has already saved me a considerable amount of wealth. Next I am ready to deal with the Groningen after receiving the assistance of the Fugel family?
Don't say that the person can't understand what these contents are, just mention that Grogning may cause her unhappiness.
Although it was never said, Alexander could feel that the man was very upset about the days when he was forced to spend under the protection of Grogening during the time when he was separated from himself.
The girl who seems to just like to ask for troubles and sometimes make unreasonable troubles is actually very proud.
Sophia is almost fifteen years old. Alexander's mouth slightly provoked, showing a sweet smile.
Has been separated for more than half a year. Reflecting on what Sophia was doing during this time, Alexander couldn't help but sigh.
The news brought to him by the Ottomans was indeed beyond Alexander's expectation. He never thought that Sophia would somehow involve the legends about East Rome.
The mysterious East always gives Europeans a variety of inexplicable and even absurd ideas. Even if it is just across a Mediterranean East Rome, it always gives Europeans a sense of mystery as if they were blocked from the dense fog.
Even if the Crusaders relentlessly knocked on the door of Constantinople, not only looted and even destroyed the country for nearly 50 years, but as long as the land was mentioned, it would still cause many rumors.
The legend about "a princess from East Rome" was also heard by Alexander before, but he never thought that this legend would be involved with Sophia.
According to legend, if the princess is based on actual age, it should be the third generation or even the fourth generation.
According to the rumor, Emperor Constantine XI of East Rome had a daughter with a local woman when he occupied Athens, and he later hurried back to the country because of the Ottoman invasion, he did not bring his wife and daughter back to the east. Rome.
In the following years, Constantinople was continuously threatened by the Ottomans, perhaps realizing that the empire would fall, and that he might become the last monarch of this thousand-year empire. For the safety of his daughter, Constantine Ding XI concealed this secret, and then ordered his cronies to secretly go to Athens to find the mother and daughter, asking them to hide their identities and hide in the folk.
Because Constantine XI had already guessed that after the breakthrough of Constantinople, the Ottoman Empire must march towards Europe based on Greece, which has already controlled most of it.
By that time, as the last blood of the Eastern Roman Empire, his daughter is bound to become a huge hidden danger in the mind of the Ottomans.
Then, the mother and daughter disappeared mysteriously between the mortal beings of Greece and the mountains, and no one had ever seen them, and no one could know their true whereabouts.
But this story full of sorrows and joys and the separation of life and death passed down.
After 50 years, this story has become a legend, and gradually, the legend has become a longed-for myth.
Was there really such a princess, or this was just a hope imagined by the Greeks in order to resist the Ottoman rule, or did there really be such a heir to the last blood of East Rome, but how to prove this Human existence and identity?
Even some people have said that even if this princess really exists, how can a pair of weak mothers and daughters survive in the turbulent years when the empire of the millennium eventually collapsed and the whole Greece fell.
Perhaps, they survived luckily, but with the loss of time, maybe they settled in a remote mountain village, and then as the princess grew up, married, and had children, they gradually forgot The noble blood flowing in his body, and even after many years, the last blood line of the Eastern Roman Empire gradually disappeared with the passage of time.
These kinds of speculations have been circulating in Greece since that time. For this reason, the Ottomans even sent people in the early years to find girls who were close to the legendary princess in the folk.
According to the order of the conqueror Mohammed II at that time, once the girl was found, she would be quickly sent to his side. He had decided that regardless of the girl ’s appearance, whether she was married or not, even if she was ugly and crippled Or a rural fool who had already given birth to several children, he would also use the grandest ceremony to bring her into the harem.
This order has been carried out without compromise for many years, and the women in the harem of Sudan have entered countless times, and the Ottomans have announced more than once that the last princess of the Roman Empire has become the sultry princess of Sudan, but in the private, Legends about the "lost princess" have been emerging endlessly, making people wonder.
Alexander shook his head, thinking of these legends, he felt a little funny, he did not know how Sophia was involved in this matter, maybe there is a relationship between Nashan, think of the unreliable old man, Alexander just I can't help but feel something weird in my heart.
Nashan seems to be a special kind of gypsy. His sharp knife is terrible, and he is good at killing human lives in the most effective way in fighting. This is rare in gypsy.
And he sometimes has the kind of romance and enthusiasm unique to the Gypsies, as can be seen from the fact that the former Queen of Naples, Joanna, became unhappy after losing him.
Surprised Alexander that the former queen hadn't found a new lover after so long. It seemed that she was waiting for Nashan to come back.
Or, that **** gypsy has been secretly contacting Joanna?
Alexander felt that Nashan should have done such a thing, that person has a typical gypsy cunning.
As for the wife of Nashan and King Vladislas II of Bohemia, they also engaged in this kind of thing. Alexander felt that this only shows that in addition to the sharpness of the sword, his other skills are also envy of his son-in-law Endless.
How to write this letter, Alexander still has some headaches. He ca n’t expose all his plans like writing a letter to Ruo Sha. This is not because he does n’t trust Sophia, but is worried that others may notice him. secret.
After all, he doesn't understand what is happening to Sophia right now, and even he doesn't even know where Sophia is.
According to some legends, Sophia seems to be somewhere in the Balkans or Hungary.
Alexander put down his pen, his hands clasped behind his head, he wondered what Nashan took Sophia to do in that place, and he was a little worried about the turbulent situation in that place now.
But now he needs to know where Sophia is, or wants to know where Nashan is.
The Fugger family is very trustworthy. Guert Fugger has sent a very detailed agreement. Among them is the first Hansa to be passed through the lowland merchants according to the previous agreement. Ducate, which is deposited by the Confederation Chamber of Commerce as a large number of credit collateral.
A huge sum of 20,000 yuan is enough to drive people crazy. Even the giant behemoth such as the Hanseatic League cannot wait to be taken lightly. It is because of this that Rosa will say in the letter that Grogening will soon take the initiative to find Alexander .
The Fugel family obviously would not like untrustworthy business partners, so after receiving the first money, Alexander immediately wrote to Nashan.
He now only hopes to be a friend of the lady, and Nashan's ability in certain aspects is indeed as good as his own bragging.
Fortunately, with some sporadic news, Alexander already knew roughly where Nashan was.
According to rumors from the Prague court, Sophia of Naples, the Queen of Bohemia, seemed to be visiting Hungary for her husband. This is clearly Vladislas II declaring his sovereignty over Hungary to Emperor Maximian , But this actually let Alexander finally know how Sophia appeared inexplicably in the Balkans.
Writing a letter to a girl is very difficult, especially when the girl is angry or jealous, Alexander does n’t know if these recent things Sophia has known, but he feels he must be careful, after all, Nashan has always been to him Prejudices will inevitably play a bad role in them.
Alexander didn't blame Nashan very much. He felt that if he had a daughter of his own, he would be exactly the same as Nashan.
Finally, Alexander ’s letter to Sophia wrote only one sentence: "When will I come back, my little wife?"
After writing this sentence, Alexander prepared the envelope, and when he was about to stamp a seal on the hot wax, the door knocked, and then Aufrei pushed the door in.
"Sir, you are all ready." Aufrei took off her hat and saluted the white feathers on the brim of the hat through a beautiful arc in the air.
Looking at the marching commander as if going to the ball, Alexander smiled with satisfaction, then grabbed the saber next to him, stood up and ordered loudly: "Pass my order, Agri, ready to march!"
The news that Alexander left Pisa reached Rome a few days later.
Was delayed because the Pisa City Defense Army suddenly strengthened its control of Pisa City on the grounds that Count Montina had left.
When he first heard the news, Caesar was a little skeptical. He also did not believe that the Alexander Conference left Lucrecia alone in Pisa. When finally determined, Caesar could n’t help but be ecstatic!
"That Gumbre made a big mistake!" Caesar yelled with excitement, he couldn't help walking, and even hugged Pedro Cardron who brought him this good news , Bring Lucrecia back. "
Caesar couldn't help giving orders, and in his opinion Alexander's departure was undoubtedly a great opportunity.
He hurriedly ordered Cardron to summon his officers as soon as possible to prepare a plan to send out pizzas, and at the same time his eyes were involuntarily fixed on the city of Pisa.
What happened in Pisa has attracted too much attention, and the wealth flowing into that city is crazy.
For a time, in the eyes of many people, Pisa has become a port to the road to wealth.
Taking the opportunity to occupy Pisa in the name of saving Lucrecia, Caesar felt that he was the legendary Greek hero Menelaus who expeditioned to Troy to recover Helen, and he would bring a powerful army to punish the one who had robbed Helen Trojan villain.
Officers heard the news, and each of them seemed so impatient.
For mercenaries, apart from that poor salary, the loot of loot is the source of their wealth.
These officers have been impatient since these days. Watching Gonzalo's men are so proud, Caesar's mercenaries are even more intolerable.
The formation of Caesar ’s army was not long, but the officers were all experienced veterans. They knew how to control those stabbing soldiers, and they knew how to use the battlefield to lose their timidity because of the blow. The soldiers reorganized.
This made Caesar feel relieved a lot. He believed that even if Alexander ’s army was really not as good as some people said, the power of the army he owned was enough to teach the brave guy. .
"Unfortunately that Gombré fled directly back to Montina, and he really should thank God for his good luck," Caesar said to the people around him "or I can go directly to Montina to find him."
For Caesar's strong desire to attack, his officers also agreed.
This time, Alexander VI did not stop Caesar.
With his father's acquiescence, Caesar decided to prove to everyone with a victory as a commander. He possessed the ability that is nothing worse than Giovanni, even better.
October 14th, Caesar left Rome, he will spend a day in the barracks outside the city, and then led his army of about 3,000 troops to Pisa on the 15th.
And before that, Caesar had learned from the pope that the Lovere family had ordered the 1,000-member Genoese army to return to Genoa.
This means that even if the newly recruited Agri can be used, the total strength of Alexander ’s men will not exceed 2,200.
With 3,000 well-trained mercenaries vs. 2000, many of them are said to be farmer's army, and Caesar believes that he is completely dominant.
Early morning on October 15, 1497, in a misty morning haze, Caesar reviewed his army accompanied by the bullfighting flag and the army priest.
This is also the first time he has publicly reviewed the army as a secular since he gave up his priesthood.
Although the mercenaries are scattered but with a sturdy military capacity, Caesar is satisfied. He knows that for a long time in the future, he will bring these soldiers who may not be flattering, but they can definitely fear people. A piece of land used blood and fire to conquer one city after another.
"I believe this day is the most meaningful to me."
Caesar said excitedly to the people around him that he didn't care what kind of association others would have after hearing this. After all, Giovanni has been dead for a long time, and even people have slowly forgotten his brother.
Cadron hurried away in the distance, holding a letter in his hand and holding it high before he came to Caesar.
"Master, Miss Cosenza sent someone to send you a letter."
Caesar froze for a moment, then made a big laugh.
"Why, is the Countess pleading for her brother? If she would condescend to my Roca Palace, I would rather listen to her carefully."
Caesar's obvious suggestion caused a round of laughter from all around ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The mercenaries looked obscenely at their employers, and even a slight vague smile appeared on the face of the army priest
"Sir, please take a look," Cardron was a little anxious. "The person from the Countess said that this letter was sent to you by the Count of Montina."
Caesar was amazed. He didn't know what else Alexander could tell him at this time, but he still bent over and took the letter from the high hand of the attendant, and then opened it casually.
Then, the people next to him saw Caesar's face suddenly change!
The content of this letter is very short, or just an invitation letter.
"Dear Earl Aval," Alexander deliberately used only the nickname of Caesar in his letter, without mentioning any other identity. "I sincerely invite you to a meeting to eliminate the possibility of a The misunderstanding of women we all love, if you think my suggestion is feasible, then I will be waiting for your reply in Liwo. "
Looking at the content of this letter, Caesar's heart can no longer be calm.
He didn't care if Alexander invited him to negotiate, but he couldn't ignore the place mentioned in the letter.
On October 14, 1497, Alexander's army entered the Pope's jurisdiction, Livorno, and directly threatened the Pope's route to Pisa from the side. ...
