Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 4 Chapter 144: Estles

The more than 20 miles from Florence to Pisa suddenly became unusually distant for Alexander, although Pagasos was already struggling to run, but he still felt very slow.

Along the road along the Arno River, Alexander didn't even remember how he came, and then Paul Bussac had to nearly force Alexander to stop running.

"Adult, the horse won't be able to stand like this." Busako pulled the bridle of Pagasos' mouth tightly, which made the mount squeal, but it was really good to stop. The already exhausted Pa Gasos immediately stopped and moved back and forth.

Alexander was a little angry, but looking at the same panting hunting guards behind him, he could only nod silently.

He knew that this was actually because he was too nervous. After all, this was his first child, and the poor delivery technology of this era made him uneasy to think about it, but when he thought of Lucrezia ’s famous high production record, it was originally The nervous thought gradually let go.

"It's already late, sir," Busako looked at the sky. "We have a rest for one night. We set off early tomorrow morning, and we can get to Pisa before noon."

Alexander nodded his head slightly. In fact, he was so tired at this time that he was sore all over, and he had no strength to speak.

While sitting in front of the lit bonfire and watching the silver glow of the Arno River not far away in the moonlight, Alexander couldn't help but ask: "Paul, how old are your children."

"Three adults," Busako smiled seldomly. "The oldest is a daughter, which should be almost 12, and the other two are sons, nine years old and one year old."

"So when you came out with me, the youngest child was less than 3 years old?" Alexander was a bit strange. "Aren't you worried about them?"

"Adult, if I can earn a family business for them, it's better than anything for them, and I've already thought about it, when my daughter gets married, let the second son go to the monastery," Bu Sarko said calmly, "There are not many things that can be left in my family. Even if you count your salary, you can't support two sons, so this is the best way."

"Delivered to the monastery." Alexander looked at the campfire slightly fascinated. Although he could understand Busako's idea, he could still hear the helplessness of his words.

Compared with the eldest son, the fate of the second son is always much worse. Even some wealthy families often face such difficulties.

The rule inherited by the eldest son of the whole of Europe makes this kind of thing inevitable regardless of any class, even in some royal families, it will appear from time to time to avoid disputes and consider the cultivation of power in the church, and let other sons accept the priesthood.

The Medici family is a very vivid example, and the Borgia family has arranged this from the beginning.

What will happen to his future children, Alexander feels that he needs to think about this issue well in advance.

According to the plan, Lucrezia ’s children will inherit Pizza. Although this may seem like a good arrangement, Alexander still feels that this is actually just a helpless move.

His nominal fiancee is always Barenti, and if he can marry Barenti smoothly in the future, then at least now he can inherit Montina only from his and Barenti's children.

However, this is only the first child. What happens to Ruosha next?

Alexander did not know whether Ruo Sha would leave him in the future. He always tried to avoid this idea. Although he knew that he would face this problem in the end, he only hoped that the later this thing appeared, the better.

He believes that as long as he is given time, he will be able to keep Ruosha around, especially when he finally strikes at Castile, or even the entire Spanish throne, and even then Modi Earl Low also had no ability to stop him from keeping Ruosha.

As for Sophia, Alexander could n’t help but have a headache. He did n’t know what Sophia was doing now, nor did she know who she was with now, which made Alexander feel somewhat powerless, although the messengers had been sent early, according to Ashur According to Ke's description, Sophia and Nashan have been missing.

In addition, the Balkans have complicated terrain and layers of mountains. Considering that so many Ottoman troops have been unable to quell the Balkans, his messenger probably wanted to find out the exact news for his father and daughter. It was more difficult to find them.

And vaguely Alexander also realized that he didn't seem to want to find Sophia as soon as possible. As long as he thought about Sophia's reaction after he had a child with Lucrezia, he felt a cold breath from his back.

One night spent in such a mixed mood, and spent a lot of time, Alexander even remembered that he only closed his eyes a little, and then when he suddenly woke up again, there was a glimmer of dawn in the sky.

A trace of coolness floating on the river made Alexander awake a lot, although he still felt very tired, but he immediately got up and urged the hunting guards to go on the road immediately.

"It seems that constant exercise is needed," Alexander said while jumping on horseback to the next busaco. "Remember how long we spent from Montina to Rome, then all of us seemed crazy It seems that our lives are too easy to live, and these ten or so methods have exhausted us all. "

Hearing Alexander ’s complaint and Busako ’s helpless crooked head, he decided to be wise not to argue with a man who would soon become a father, because now they are often unreasonable.

The Arno River runs from Florence all the way west, flows through Pisa after passing through a plain, and then pours into the Tyrrhenian Sea.

At this distance of more than 20 miles, there are several small docks along the way that allow people to dock along the way.

Along the way, Alexander noticed that these terminals have become very lively from early in the morning. As long as they are on the side of some slightly large terminals, large and small cargo piles will pile up, and even some places have become small. Goods yard.

Alexander knew that some of these goods were destined for Florence, some were destined for Rome, but some were destined for Lombardy.

The blockade of the port of Amsterdam in the previous winter not only affected the northern city-states of Germany, but even many Italian city-states in the south have also been affected to varying degrees.

The traditional market environment has not been easily broken, but once broken, it means that there will be new ways to affect the entire market, even if the old model quickly restores order, but the new forces that have emerged will not, nor Willing to easily give up the market and benefits already obtained.

Today's free trade union is still very new to many people. Even if some of them have joined involuntarily, they still don't really understand what this union means. In many people's eyes, the free trade union In fact, there is no difference with the Hanseatic League, which makes them not only care about what can bring them more profits, but also does not care what is happening in the alliance.

So they naturally do not know where this alliance will take them.

Looking at the people who were busy early in the morning on the pier, Alexander seemed to see a huge emerging force that was quietly expanding with every step of the way, and then thought about it should have arrived in Castile now. James Columbus, Alexander also felt a bit dazed for the future of his children's way out of the night, and suddenly disappeared with the rising sun.

"Busak, maybe soon you won't have to worry about your little son," Alexander said to the bussak beside him while he urged the horse to run forward. "Trust me, we may not need to arrange more in the future. The children ’s future is worrying. The world is big enough to keep them safe and secure. "

In the army of Alexandria, the Agri are undoubtedly the most trusted. They have followed him through too many difficult crises, which makes him believe that as long as there are Agri, there is no need to panic even in the face of great danger. .

Compared with the elite Agri, the hunting guard is like a part of his body.

From the day he decided to form a hunting guard, Alexander had already decided to make this unit the real backbone of his army, and the performance of the hunting guard did not disappoint him.

In several major battles, the bravery of the hunting guards at critical moments has become an important bargaining chip for him to decide the battlefield. The most commendable part of the hunting guards is that they have a strong will that is unmatched by others.

When the sun had not completely risen above the sky, the sentry on the observation tower 1 Farido, outside Pisa, suddenly found something strange. They noticed that a large number of cavalry were running towards Pisa.

Although it was only from the direction of the Montina army who sent troops to Florence a few days ago, thinking that the messenger who sent the letter to Pisa had just passed by noon the day before, the sentry on the lookout panicked immediately.

They did not believe that the Earl who had received the news would return to Pisa so quickly, so while watching the rapidly approaching army nervously, they sent someone back to report to Pisa City.

But soon the Sentinel was surprised to find that they had guessed wrong, and looked at those troops wearing familiar fancy armor uniforms, even though the whole body was dusty and uncomfortable, the army was still quite conspicuous. Earl Na is back.

For the cheers of the pizza on the lookout, Alexander only hurriedly beckoned and hurried away. Behind him, the hunting guards also quickly swept through the envy of the sentries and rushed towards the city of Pisa.

"They used to say that the Earl's army seemed to have wings," a sentry looked at the back of the hunting guards that had disappeared in the billowing smoke, and couldn't help but sigh. "It looks like this now."

"Hermes," the other sentry nodded. "They are as fast as Hermes, but I still think another name suits them."

"Peacock Army?"

"Yes, a group of male peacocks with screens everywhere, and the earl is the most prominent among them."

The hunting guards were indeed very quick. They even easily caught up with the sentry who was running back to the city to report. After throwing a gold coin to the frightened sentry, Alexander took the hunting guard towards The gate of Pisa, already in sight, ran to the gate.

The appearance of the hunting guards caused a small disturbance in the city, but after seeing the familiar red military uniform, the Pisa knew who was back.

At the same time, a well-known rumor has also become more lively in the city.

It is no secret that Lucrezia is about to produce in Pisa, and people also know that if there is no accident, this soon-to-be-born child will be the heir to the future Duke of Pisa.

This incident naturally aroused the attention of the Pisa. As early as a few days ago, many pizza nobles had begun to inquire about the situation of Lucrezia. As Alexander rushed to Florence on the orders of the Pope, the nobles and rich merchants of Pisa paid more attention to Lucrezie. Ya's news.

Not only that, some smart-minded Pizzars also vaguely noticed the movement of the Pisa City Defense Army. After the Earl left, the City Defense Army strengthened the vigilance of the whole city. At the same time, on the third day of the Earl ’s departure, a team originally stationed in Monti Suddenly, the army of the castle was stationed in Pisa.

All these changes made the Pizzars realize how extraordinary this child's birth will be.

But as long as you think about it, you can understand that after all, this child not only determines the inheritance rights of Pisa, but also because of his mother, it is destined not to be ordinary.

Pagasos felt that it was about to fall. It never felt that the street was so long. When it finally rushed to the house ’s courtyard and stopped, Pagasos made a hissing sound, and then he walked under his feet. It kept shaking.

"Feed water to the count's horse!"

A servant ran over with the bucket, and when Pagasos's huge horse poked into the bucket, the splash splashed the servant with a curse.

Alexander rushed into the house. He didn't care about the nobles and the heads of the chamber of commerce who gathered in the living room downstairs. He passed directly from them and hurried to the second floor.

But at the door he was blocked by the head maid of Lucrezia.

"Sir, you can't enter at this time ..." The maid chief just stopped speaking to Alexander who was hurriedly approaching. She stared blankly at the musket that directly pierced her head, fearing that she could not stop A pendulum.

"It still seems to be useful." Alexander mumbled and threw the fire back to Busako, and walked past the frightened maid chief.

But while standing at the door, Alexander stopped.

He rubbed the soles of his feet hard, grabbed a handkerchief in the hands of a servant, and wiped it arbitrarily before pushing the door carefully.

The room was a little sultry and the windows were tightly closed. A few women stood by the window and looked down at Alexander. They all showed a surprised look.

But Alexander only glanced at them and looked at Lucrecia, who was half-lying on the bed.

Seeing Alexandria, Lucrezia showed surprise and joy on her face. She seemed to want to sit up, but whispered and sat back again.

A woman standing next to the bed immediately supported her, and at the same time glanced at Alexandria who had walked to the bed with an ugly look.

"You came here so quickly," Lucrecia asked strangely. "It seems that they sent someone to send you a letter yesterday."

"So I'm here today," Alexander gently moved a small strand of hair from Lucrecia's forehead. "Our child is about to be born, how can I not be with you."

Lucrecia showed a trace of happiness on her somewhat tired face. She reached out and gently touched Alexander's muddy cheeks. Then she suddenly remembered something and asked anxiously, "Did you name the child?" , What ’s the boy ’s name, if it ’s a girl? "

"Relax, I've already thought about it. The names of boys and girls have already been figured out. Now I'm just waiting for you to give birth to our children." Alexander gently stroked Lucrezia's tummy.

Lucrecia showed an excited look, just when she urged to want to know the children's names, and suddenly her face was stagnant, and then there was a painful moan.

Then she shouted to Alexander with a tone of anger or fear: "God, I think I'm going to be born!"

The women who had been waiting in the room for a while immediately became busy, and for a time the whole room became their battlefield. In their shouting and pushing, Alexander was pushed and shoved like a boat in the sea, and from time to time. Scolded by a woman who suddenly became very tempered.

"Don't block the road!"

"This is not where men should stay!"

"Can no one let him stay somewhere else for a while?"

The fierce looks of the women at this time really frightened Alexander, but the painful cry made by Lucrezia prevented him from leaving.

"Adult, your stay here will only hinder us." The woman who was by the bed came over and whispered urgingly. "Please rest assured that they are the most experienced. The lady will give birth to the child smoothly, so now you still is……"

"Don't go!"

Suddenly a scream came from the bed, and Lucrezia saw Alexander in the crevice of the silhouette, and immediately reached out to him regardless of the together: "Stay, I am afraid!"

"I won't go," Alexander immediately came to the bed. He pushed a woman roughly away, and then clutched Lucrezia's hand tightly. "Reassure baby, I'm right next to you. Believe me, you'll be smooth We have given birth to our first child, and then we will have many more children to have. "

"No, it's too painful and terrible!" Lucrezia screamed desperately, and at the same time, she couldn't help but reminded by the woman next to her. Then she suddenly asked Alexander "Tell me what the child's name is, tell me quickly!"

"My son's name is Klekot, and my daughter's name is Estrez, what do you think of these two names?" Alexander whispered Lukreziya's hand tightly in her ear.

"I don't know, how did you think of giving your child such a name," Lucrezia patted Alexander a few times in pain, while crying and crying between his raised legs, "My child, Whether it's Klecott or Estrelis, please come out quickly! "

A cry of pain came from the room, and people standing in the hallway and downstairs looked at each other. Some of them looked at each other, and some talked in a small voice. Whenever a screaming sounded, there was the original The person who just sat down immediately stood up and looked upstairs.

"Adult, if," an aristocrat whispered to an official sitting alone in the corner of the room, "wife can't give birth smoothly, what should we do?"

"According to the Declaration of Inheritance, the other children of the count also have the right to inherit the title of Pisa," the official glanced at the staircase, and then there was a trace of worry in his eyes. "But it is best that this child was born of Mrs. Lukreziah, otherwise maybe There may be some accidents ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The noble nodded silently and looked towards the stairs. At the same time, whether in the house or the yard, or even on the street outside, many people were equally anxious Waiting for news.

And in the Duke's Palace, Tomno, Duke of Pisa, also anxiously awaited the news.

Tomnio ’s mood is very complicated, he knows more than anyone what this child means to him, so whenever someone reports to him that "no news", his heart is relaxed for a while, Then there was a tug.

Another shocking cry came upstairs. Listening to the voice, Aufrei took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his face.

Suddenly, the door was suddenly opened, and everyone looked up nervously!

People saw Alexander standing at the door, his eyes were red and his breath was short, and while everyone was holding his breath and waiting for the news, with the loud crying from the room behind Alexander, Alexander commanded loudly towards Aufrei : "Communicate my orders, let all the churches in Pisa ring the bell, and celebrate the birth of my daughter, Pisa's heir, Estelles!"
