Conquer the Dawn of Heaven
Vol 5 Chapter 84: "Factions"
The upcoming offensive preparation for the Ottomans is in full swing.
The Bucharests were armed, and the hatred and anger towards the Ottomans for a long time became more and more difficult to suppress with the precipitation of time. The anger of rebellion brewed in the chest of every man, burned in the chest of every woman, in every old man If you ask the locals what they hate the most, it must be an Ottoman invader. This is the hatred that has been brewing between the two parties decades ago. After a long time, the seeds will finally bear terrible fruits.
Alexander was able to feel the horror of this hatred. Everyone around him was talking about war, about the attack that was about to start, which made him feel that there was no secret at all. It was clear from the beginning that the king had done everything. Everyone was involved in the plan for this battle of revenge, so the attack on the Ottomans spread quickly throughout the city.
Alexander knew that he could perceive this as a means of Ladislas II, then the Cepes should also be able to perceive it, and it would probably give the Grand Duke of Wallachia some headaches if he came here.
The extreme approach of Ladislas II was not optimistic about Zeppes, or the direction of various considerations for the two people was very different.
As the Grand Duke of Wallachia, Zeppes certainly did not want his Principality to fall into the vortex of a full-scale war. Alexander can even be sure that although everyone hates the surrender of Roy, they also have the chance to surrender. It may not necessarily choose that path, or at least find an opportunity to negotiate with the Ottomans and avoid becoming a victim of a war.
For Ladislas II, everything that happened in the Balkans has nothing to do with him. His purpose is only to contain the Sudan so that he has no time to invade Hungary, so the more busy the Balkans, the happier the king will be, the more so-called It's not too much to see the excitement, it is probably the kind of Ladislas II.
It's just that Alexander didn't expect the king to push him out as a gunman.
The commander of the Balkan coalition front, this sounds very powerful, but Alexander knows that he can command his own Montina army. Although he is called a coalition, the unruly Balkan nobles are lined up with factions, the largest of which They are the two groups led by King and Zepes respectively, and Bucharest local nobles headed by the Patriarch of Bucharest can not be underestimated. As for the smaller ones, they are the small and large rural nobles divided by their territories and relatives. Groups, these numerous noble factions form the coalition of Bucharest today, and nominally they are under the command of Alexander on the battlefield.
Obviously, this coalition army is more like a hodgepodge than an army. As for the total number of this army, there has not been a specific and accurate number so far.
This is because some people deliberately overreported their troops for bluffs, while others paid attention to underreporting the number of people, and some even simply took the small vendors and jugglers who came with his army. All counted in, which makes the composition of the coalition look very complicated and bloated.
Seeing the bad debts in front of him, Alexander had to envy the Ottomans, although the Ottomans may not be aspiring, but at least they are much more efficient than their own.
He can imagine the situation that Bayesert II, who is the commander of the whole army, will be executed immediately and completely without a single order. It is this kind of near-efficiency and high efficiency that allows the Ottoman army for a long time. Li became a nightmare for Europeans.
But what kind of army is it under command now, or is it called an army?
Alexander was very keen to let those nobles see what his Montina army looked like, but he knew that even if those people looked at it, he would be indifferent, because it was not just a matter of habit, but also related to their power. event.
Those nobles could not surrender their military command, even if only temporarily.
Of course, Ladislas II thought of this, so he generously gave the battlefield command to Alexander, because he knew that no matter who he was or even himself, it was impossible to truly master this power.
Alexander looked at the bored Gumpatti who was sitting on the opposite side with nothing to do and smiled: "Why, do the girls in Bucharest bore you so quickly?"
"Not girls, in fact they are very good, and they are very enthusiastic and energetic," Speaking at the back, Gumpati deliberately lowered his voice and blinked his eyes somewhat ambiguously, but then he waved his hands boringly "but this It ’s not interesting to have too many things. I used to date six or seven girls in a day. Although they are very cute, you know that I came to Bucharest not just for girls. "
"Then what else do you need, reputation, beauty, you have already obtained, and the wealth will not be far away from you, to know that these locals are still very rich, they will repay us from afar to help them, then you are still lacking what?"
"Cannons, adults are cannons!" Gompati almost shouted to remind Alexander "You have promised me that I can get enough cannons here, although we had a lot of ore by robbery of copper mines before, but wait until When will those stones be cast into cannons? We have been here for some days, but I have not seen a cannon except for the girl. "
Looking at the complaining Gumpati, Alexander nodded. He remembered that he had promised that he would get enough artillery for Gumpati before he came. Only after entering Bucharest, he discovered that in the city. The artillery was surprisingly small, which made him wonder how the Bucharest defeated Muhammad.
And Compatiti really reminded him that, looking at the chaos in front of him now, Alexander felt that it was better to prepare for the worst.
"You said to Gompati, we need cannons."
The suddenness of Alexander's seriousness made Gompati a little strange, but he was still very happy that the adult had listened to his words, and he immediately sat upright and looked at Alexander.
"You go to the artillery, whether it is in my own name or in the name of the coalition, if you can buy it with money or exchange it with something that can be exchanged, but you must collect enough artillery as soon as possible," Alexander walked to the window Looking at the noisy streets outside, "We all know that this attack is dangerous. If we can't prepare in advance, it may be difficult next."
"Sir, it's a bit foolish to take the initiative to attack the Ottomans at this time," Gompati went to the window and stood side by side with Alexander looking out. "Look at them, it doesn't look like an army at all. We cannot win. "
"In fact no one expected them to win," Alexander said faintly. "It is not necessarily a good thing that we enter Bucharest. The city is like a cage that traps us tightly inside, and our news becomes Not working, I can be sure that the king is thinking, but because we do n’t know what is happening outside, there is no way to deal with the next thing. "
"Maybe we shouldn't be here," Gumpati whispered, and then saw the meaningful look that Alexander looked at him, so Gumpati quickly said, "But we must be able to solve these problems, perhaps Then things will get better. "
Alexander smiled silently. He knew that Gompati was not complaining but reminding him. It seemed that the excessive attention to Sophia during this time had caused some uneasiness in some people in his army.
Gompati said to belong to the Lucrezia faction, as the leader of the military officer born in Pisa, almost all Pisa officers automatically attributed themselves to the camp loyal to Lucrezia and Estrese, just like the Balearic merchant **** Ego did not hesitate to play for Lusha, and the Agris also regarded Lusha as their hostess, and now Uliou also manages Montina's territory beside Barenti, for various reasons Alexander His men are gradually divided into different factions, and the criterion for distinguishing these factions is to see which woman in Alexandria he follows.
By comparison, Sophia seems a bit alone, but this is not true. The Bohemian cavalry in the Montina army are her natural supporters, and the Balkans regard her as their spiritual symbol.
Thinking of these Alexanders somewhat understands those Bucharest, after all, it is only within his own power that so many different factions can be divided, and how can a coalition composed entirely of large and small nobles expect them to be real Unite.
If you think about it, even the Ottomans may not really be a piece of iron. Think of Ashurk ’s ability to use his power to secretly influence Sudan ’s decision-making for his own benefit. Alexander felt that he had seen some Ottomans before. Too strong.
But this is also inevitable, whether in the eyes of the present person or him who can see the future, today's Ottoman Empire is a behemoth that is difficult to overcome. Facing such an enemy will inevitably make people feel a sense of powerlessness, but Perhaps because of this, it vaguely aroused Alexander's vigor.
"To find the cannon, the city needs enough artillery to hold it," Alexander commanded.
"But we have already seen the city walls, and there is no more artillery on top of that poor artillery." Gompatti was a little annoyed. "I really don't know what these people think. There are many copper mines here. It must be used to cast a castle. "
"There should be. I have read a book before." When Alexander stopped here, he certainly could not tell Gompati from where he had seen those things, but he vaguely remembered that the records should be in this era Recorded, he thought about it and said to Gompati, "Go to the monastery, where you might find something."
"Why go to the monastery?" Gompati asked in amazement. He thought that Alexander was a little confused by Sophia, although every time Alexander went to see Sophia alone, but everyone could see the count when he came back. Often the mood is not very good "Does the locals hide the cannon in the monastery?"
"It's not a cannon, it's a clue," Alexander's finger gently tapped the table. "Go to the monastery. From the books, I mean to find the writings of those monasteries in recent years. Maybe you will find something. "
A little helplessly pointing at Compati, Alexander remembered seeing records of the battle of Bucharest in some documents, and some of the paintings left a deep impression on him.
In those colorful and exaggerated religious works, artillery lined up on the head of Bucharest, and the muzzle of a relentless flame poured a rainy barrage on the Ottoman army outside the city.
"A large amount of artillery was used in the battle of Bucharest," Alexander said affirmatively, "but of course the number may not be as large as you think, but it should not disappoint you. These can even be asked if you had participated in the battle. People know, as for where the artillery goes, I think you can ask Lord Patriarch, after all, he once participated in that battle in person. "
Gongpa looked at Alexandria in amazement, not knowing what to do.
"Adult, if I go to the Papal Bucharest like this, then I may be whip, do you know how much he hates the Catholics, I heard that he even refused to ..." Gumpati extended The thumb pointed to the castle outside the window and whispered in a low voice, "The King of Hungary attended the Saturday feast together because it was against his teachings."
"It seems that you did not waste your energy on the girls during this time," Alexander smiled slightly. He certainly knew how ridiculous it was to ask Gompati to go to the Patriarch, and the records in his memory about the scene The fighting book should be in the famous Bukul church. "I suggest you hurry up. You know, maybe we will need those artillery soon," Speaking of Alexander's face, his face sank slightly. And maybe we have to rely on those things to save our lives. "
Gompati nodded silently. He knew that Alexander was referring to the fact that if the Ottomans did not go well in this attack, then the next days might be tough.
"As for me, I ’m going to find the patriarch in your place," Alexander said, picking up his cloak on the back of the chair while wearing it. "I hope you can bring me some good news when you come back, because We have enough bad news now. "
Alexander walked out of his residence ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ This is a typical Eastern Roman style building on the banks of Den Bovica in Bucharest. The quartet top floor makes this house look a bit dull, but Alexander likes it very much From the window, the seat can directly see the residence of the castle in the city.
Alexander's visit was very unexpected to the Patriarch of Bucharest. In addition to showing sufficient courtesy to the foreign nobleman from Rome, he often chose to ignore the alienation that was almost ignored.
It can be said that if possible, the Patriarch would like to save Bucharest is an orthodox hero, but whether it is Ladislas II or the Count of Montina, not only are they priests, but according to legend, the Count and the Pope Alexander VI had a deep relationship, which made it really difficult for the Patriarch to face the count calmly.
It's just that the sudden arrival of Alexander made the Patriarch Lord have to temporarily stop the students who taught him, and came to the side court to doubt and meet Alexander.
And Alexander ’s first sentence surprised the Patriarch Lord: "Adult, I want to ask you something, how to prove that a marriage that has not been blessed by the church is legal."
