Conquer the Dawn of Heaven
Vol 5 Chapter 16: Roy? And Drana
In the early years, the Kingdom of Bosnia was once a country with aristocratic powers. Like other countries, the king is the most powerful among the aristocrats, but not the only powerful one. This has led to a lot of nobles in this country.
It has become common for nobles to attack each other, and among them, the most powerful nobles have so many in the north and south.
Among them, the Luwa family in the north is one of them.
The Roy family has a long history and is even older than the Bosnian royal family destroyed by the Ottomans. One of the most famous characters of this family is St. Roy who led his own territory to convert to Christ first. This was the earliest acceptance of the Orthodox teachings. Of believers were consecrated by Constantinople as saints.
Moreover, he was not only the earliest believer in Bosnia, but also the first martyr. Because his behavior of changing faith angered some polytheistic nobles and his men at that time, they suddenly assassinated him at a banquet.
The Luwa family has a high reputation in Bosnia, especially in North Bosnia. Although this family has become less prominent over time, they still have high prestige real power families in the north.
At least in the Northern Bosnian Noble League, it is not that little noble named Ivo Drana.
So when I heard Alexander about the news about Roy, Ivo Delana asked his purpose carefully.
Ivo Drana is a sharp-nosed, bald-headed, middle-aged man with a light chin. This man looks unremarkable, and his slightly sloppy waist is somewhat similar to his distant relative Duke Carl.
Ivo Drana ’s home is at the northern end of the Chacaran Valley. The entire Chacaran Valley stretches for more than ten miles. The northern end is close to the plains and is a rolling hill. The land here is not suitable for any crops, but Ivo Delana is very rich, because, as Grand Duke Karl said, there are very rich mineral deposits in his territory, which is enough to make Ivo Delana become the envy of everyone.
The local tyrant Ivo Drana did n’t seem to welcome Alexander ’s arrival. He met the guests indifferently, held a banquet for him indifferently, and then took him indifferently into his humble castle made of stone and wood. In their own room, until they closed the door to discuss in detail, Ivo Delana was indifferent, but obviously indifferent.
"Count, your army can be trimmed in my territory, as long as they don't cause me trouble," Drana said in a soft tone, and his Latin spoken well, although some specific Greeks were sometimes added, but This not only did not destroy his context, but even revealed a certain charm "I really don't know what you are thinking, it is no good to come to Bosnia at this time."
Faced with such a frank order, Alexander was a bit curious. He felt that Duke Carl did not necessarily have any kindness to himself, but he would not be stupid enough to trouble himself as soon as he came up. After all, the Duke also expected him to find the Ottomans. Trouble, but now looking at this drana's face with a stern look, Alexander feels that he may have missed something.
"Anytime is a good time, any place is the right place." Alexander said with a smile.
There was a trace of surprise in Drana's indifferent face, and he looked at Alexander a little unexpectedly.
"Emperor Basil's words?"
Alexander nodded. Although he did not expect the quoted quote from one of the most famous monarchs in East Rome to impress this person, he wanted to at least make the conversation between the two more convenient.
Sure enough, I don't know if it was because the emperor Basil's words were touched, and then his attitude became slightly milder.
"You really shouldn't be here, Count, Bosnians don't like outsiders," Drana handed a glass of wine to Alexander. "Whether it is Ottoman, Hungarian or Bohemian, it's not popular here, so It ’s unlikely if you want help. "
For Drana ’s words, Alexander felt something. In the past few days, he has deeply felt the hostility of the locals. The kind of xenophobia and hostility that can be clearly felt even if there is no complete hostility, makes Alexander kind of The illusion of being in an enemy country.
Unlike the Italians, the Bosnians are very disgusted that outsiders enter their territory. They hold their territory like animals. Once there are outsiders, they will cause their vigilance and hostility. If the other party is always lingering, then A battle that erupts to protect the territory will inevitably occur.
"I hope to get help."
"Everyone hopes to get help this year, and I hope," Drana turned her legs to the table in front of her and looked at the dirty toes of her feet. "My relative wanted me to help you, but you guys I do n’t know here. This is Bosnia, not Cagnola, nor your comfortable cities. At Cagnola, at least Karl can rule his country, and who is here to rule us? "
"Ottoman?" Alexander asked tentatively.
"The Ottomans are one," Drana held out a finger with the glass's hand. "But it's not just them."
"Who is that, Roy?" Alexander took the opportunity to ask the question in his heart.
"Roy, well, one," Drana drank and drank the wine from the glass, then he filled himself from the jar on the table, "but not only these, but others. , Do you know the aristocratic alliance in the north? "
"I heard that it is said that the result was discussed in order to avoid fighting for the throne?"
"Haha, fight for the throne." Drana laughed sarcastically. He put his legs on the table and looked at his toes. "That's just a good excuse. Those people are not fighting for the throne at all, just A qualification that can talk to the Ottomans. "
Although Drana ’s words are a bit obtrusive, Alexander is not surprised that he would say that the locals in Bosnia are indeed brave and brave, but this does not mean that those nobles also maintain this style, especially some local nobles in the north. The attitude towards the nobles and refugees who flocked in from the south will certainly not be so good.
For these northern nobles, it is certainly better to sit down and negotiate with the Ottomans than to fight them. After all, the strength of the Ottomans is obvious to all.
With this in mind, it is not so surprising that the Roy, who may have secretly reached an agreement with the Ottoman dignitaries.
Even other nobles who were qualified to talk to Ottoman did not necessarily do so in secret.
Alexander shook his head and smiled. He is not incomprehensible to the situation in Bosnia. In fact, the Italian nobles are similar to them. In the face of the French, the Italian nobles formed an alliance to prepare for resistance, but in private while observing the situation at any time. Ready to make the rudder go with the French.
"However, some people should not collude with the Ottomans," Drana said suddenly, and after seeing Alexander's curious look, he touched his light head "I said Patriarch Zagreb."
Alexander froze, then nodded slowly.
In the face of invasion from paganism, the only ones that are really difficult to accept are those churches that also need to rely on religion. The nobles can negotiate, compromise, and even surrender, but there is so much room for religion.
Either convert to faith or perish, not to mention in this era. Even after centuries, most people who have been involved with faith are still either or not, and that virtue has not changed for hundreds of thousands of years.
"Aside from the Patriarch, there are always some people who are not willing to surrender, such as nobles and civilians?" Alexander tentatively asked, he needs to know more about everything here, maybe this person will not tell too much truth, but At least provide something useful.
"Of course there are, after all, not everyone is willing to do things for the Ottomans, otherwise there will not be so many Rheas in the south."
Alexander noticed that when he spoke of the word "Ria", Drana's face showed a trace of anger, and he knew that the word was an extremely insult to the Bosniacs who refused to convert and depend on them. Scornfully.
"Earl, there are indeed many nobles who do not want to be slaves to the Ottomans, but this does not change anything," Drana said with a helpless touch on his bare head. "The Ottomans are too strong, they have countless troops, There are much more exquisite weapons than us, and there are cannons erected as dense as the woods, but what do we have, a group of nobles who are ready to negotiate and a patriarch who can only help us with prayer, although this is pious, this Everything is too bad. Bosnia is like a piece of sand, waiting for the Sudanese army to be blown apart once it arrives. "
Looking at Drana's slightly decadent look, Alexander couldn't help but shook his head secretly.
He did not know that this person was on the side of those nobles he said, but this person obviously lost confidence in resisting the Ottomans, which is probably the status of most people in Bosnia.
But what he said is not unreasonable. The Ottoman army of this era is indeed strong enough to be almost invincible.
It can be said that if the Ottomans did not show too much ambition and caused anxiety throughout Europe, and even faced opposition from all the neighboring European countries, any European country that stood alone against it would be impossible in this era. Defend against this terrible behemoth.
"So why do you come here? If you are in Rome, you should be enjoying the warm sunshine of the Mediterranean Sea at this time, but you can get nothing here, and you must always guard against being sold." Look around in disgust. "I'm not intimidating you. I believe Carl also told you what happened here, but he certainly did not tell you too much, otherwise you might not come to Bosnia."
Listening to Drana ’s careless slander of his relatives at Cagnola, Alexander laughed silently. Of course, he would n’t be willing to venture to a place that he was not familiar with just now, just because Duke Carl urged him There is no need to explain to the person in front.
"Then no matter whether you or Tutonroy, a big noble like this, don't plan to really resist the Ottomans?"
Alexander felt the need to figure this out.
"That's not necessarily true," Drana smiled slightly sarcastically. "We just had to choose to retreat because they couldn't beat them. But if someone can teach us the Ottomans, we would still like to see this result. at least……"
At least this can increase the bargaining power for bargaining with the Ottomans in the future.
Looking at the paused Drana, Alexander made up for him in his heart.
Drana was clearly wary of Alexandria ’s arrival. He asked people to find places in a village far away from his little castle. The distance between these villages was quite far, and Alexander ’s army obviously needed to be dispersed. In order to be stationed separately.
This arrangement seems to be due to the small size of the village and the helplessness of Montina's army, but the intention can be understood if you think about it.
Since these villages are the territory of Drana, of course, there is no shortage of people who will inform him. The result of this arrangement is that if the Montina army intends to do anything harmful to the territory of Drana, it is their army. The news of the transfer will be sent to Drana soon.
While dismissing this arrangement, Alexander felt the difference between Italy and Italy.
In Italy, everything is used except when secretly using conspiracies and tricks. Once you really decide to start a war, you will look for a variety of reasons and excuses, even if it is too reluctant, but try to be as sound as possible. This does not seem to be the case in Bosnia.
It seems that no excuse is needed to wage war against others, and complete naked plunder is taken for granted here.
Because of this, Drana was so careful to guard against the Montina army, but what surprised people was that he was quite concerned about providing supplies.
"Obviously, this landlord is very worried that we will find an excuse not to leave, or to trouble him by not getting supplies in time."
Looking at the large chunks of dark bread on the table, Gompati cut a piece with a knife and put a bite in his mouth.
"About that Roy ?? What did you hear?"
Although some news about Roy has been heard from Drana, Alexandria certainly would not believe him alone, and the aristocrats and the civilians clearly have different opinions about how a person is.
Perhaps most of the claims of the nobility among the civilians are hearsay, but you should still be able to hear some different opinions from the nobility.
"The woman also went out with our people to get news," Gumpati bite **** the coarse bread. "But I heard that the Roy ?? Marquis has a good reputation, although the villagers here are all from Drana. Leaders, but many people think that Roy is a Bosnian hero. "
"Originally a hero," Alexander also picked up a piece of rough bread and bite it. He had to admit that the local buckwheat bread from Bosnia was really difficult to swallow, especially the feeling of being too rough, it was easy for people to have a kind of It seems that every bite is chewing wood. "I heard that this person once joined the army of Grand Duke Stefan."
"It's that Moldovan ..." Compatiti asked unexpectedly.
"Yes, it is said that the Marquis de Roy had served in the army of Archduke Stefan in Moldova, and was appreciated by the Archduke."
Alexander rubbed his head, in fact, that's all he can remember. If Grandpa Stefan had a dazzling merit in defending the Ottomans, he would not remember this character who once fought under the Grand Duke's battlefield .
The Marquis of Roy, Bosnia, is probably one of the most powerful contenders besides the deceased Bosnian royal family.
But if you think about it, you can understand that if it were not for this reason, the Ottomans would not send someone to contact him specifically.
Alexander took out the letter and looked at it carefully. He certainly did not know the text above, but this did not prevent him from studying the letter from the outside.
"What is that woman doing?" Alexander asked suddenly.
"What else can I do, probably at this time I am sticking with your captain," Compatiti said interestingly. "I think maybe when we return to Montina, there will be a lot of people here leaving a large group of illegitimate children."
"Little Cacho?" Alexander smiled. He didn't want to intervene in the romance of his men. In this era, this kind of thing is not uncommon. Think of many military troops who take camp prostitutes all year round. The army can definitely be called the new army of this era.
"Yes, he seems to like the woman."
"Then call them together."
Alexander waved his hand and Gumpati immediately put his smile down and ordered the attendant who was waiting at the door: "Go and call both Cachoo and the Bosnian woman."
After a while, the leader of the scout entered the room with the woman.
Perhaps after having a full meal and having a shelter for a while, the Bosnian woman's complexion looks much better than before. After washing away the mud stains on her face, Alexander had a little admiration for Cagio's vision and actions Speed.
"This letter was discovered by the Ottoman messenger who was killed from the beginning?" Alexander asked the scout captain and saw the captain nodded in response. Alexander picked up the scimitar with a verse from the side "Then The owner of this knife, do you think his identity should be higher than the one you killed before? "
"Of course lord," the scout captain used to call the Agri people a unique name for Alexander. "But we found nothing from that person."
"Then a letter you think is so important ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Shouldn't it be carried by the person who is the leader of the mission?"
The captain opened his mouth slightly, he looked a little blankly, and saw the woman nodded slightly, the captain's eyebrows wrinkled.
"Master, it seems that I really missed something," the scout said annoyed. "Before that person burned something before he died, I didn't pay attention at that time, but now it seems that I got a honey, but Lost the entire hive. "
Looking at the angry scout, Alexander did not embarrass him.
"It's nothing. Everyone makes mistakes, and sometimes a mistake is just a rare opportunity."
Alexander said, gently clutching the letter in his hand.
