Conquer the Dawn of Heaven
Vol 6 Chapter 33: I come, I see, I conquer
Prince Alfred, the son of Frederick, king of Naples, looked at Alexandria slightly indifferently, and he was not very impressed by the illegitimate child who suddenly emerged from the Modillo family.
The prince who had made him almost embarrassed when he first met at the house of Count Modillo had never forgotten. For a person who is not very broad-minded, even if it is not grudge, it is at least grudge. of.
What's more important is that news about this **** has been coming all the time, and every time it can make people both surprised with his actions and envied his achievements.
However, another reason why Alfred did not like Alexander was related to Ruosha. After finally courageously deciding to propose to Ruosha, the prince was rejected by Ruosha's polite but very determined, and the reason for refusal It was actually "I hope my future husband will be a person that I can admire and follow. If you must have a role model then please go and see my brother."
This proposal made the prince lose face, and what Alfred really cared about was not rejection, but the contempt that Russa said was not as good as Alexander.
Unconsciously, Alfred has turned from jealousy to a certain degree of hatred for Alexander, even the prince himself has not yet noticed.
Of course, Alexander did n’t know about the various incidents, and he was still very happy to see the prince, which means that the Naples should not have doubted his intentions, and he brought three ships of soldiers, which is now the fate of Fred. It is obviously very important.
The reason why Alexander did not bring too many troops is because he is well aware of the suspicious character of Frederick. If an outsider brings too many troops, even the reinforcements will be alert.
Because of this, Count Modillo has not been involved too much in the affairs of power in Naples for several years. Even when Frederick needed his opinion, the Count only offered his own opinions and then ignored them. Do not ask, but never take the initiative to ask for any errands.
Because of this attitude of the Earl, Frederick was surprised to become the one with the closest relationship with the Modillo family among the kings of Naples.
"The Earl has heard that you are back. He is waiting for you with my father in the palace." Prince Alfred said, looking at the soldiers behind Alexander from time to time, although he could not see any special performance from them. , But just looking at the strange and neat uniform of the hunting guards, Alfred's look has turned from unexpected to envious.
The uniforms of the hunting guards are undoubtedly the most peculiar and most majestic of this era. This military uniform designed by Alexander himself, referring to the practicality of the current war and the appreciation of the future military uniform, completely abandons the people who are already familiar with. Bloated, cumbersome and useless bells and whistles, feathered dome helmet, near-fitting cut-out British dark infrared hood paired with beautiful French half-length breastplate, paired with fitted black military pants and half-height military boots, like this The military uniform is not only refreshing, but it is completely seen by the hunting guards that it is completely free of the burden of other soldiers in the current army, but it is very tall and powerful.
What's more important is that Alexander's strict requirements on internal affairs have given his army a spirit and exquisite appearance that are almost the same as those of other armies.
But it was not just this army that at least looked so jealous that Alfred was jealous, but the prince was annoyed by Ruosha's rejection of his proposal when he thought of the cost of supporting such an army.
The Royal Family of Naples can now be said to have reached a point where it is hard to make ends meet. Frederick has almost done everything to resist the French. He uses almost every copper plate in his hand to expand the army, but even then he still provides Ca n’t afford a large army, he even promised Xia Sang, who was far away in Rome, to find a good family for the widow of his short-lived nephew in order to accumulate wealth, preparing to let Queen Joanna marry Prince Edward, son of Henry VII of England. So that you can get help from the British.
Alfred's proposal to Ruo Sha was of course due to his fascination with Ruo Sha, but more reasons still fell in love with the huge wealth that Ruo Sha now possesses.
Looking at Alexander's army now, Alfred is even more jealous and jealous, because in his opinion Alexander can afford such an army, and he must have received a large amount of money from Rusha.
The arrival of the Montina army caused a commotion in the port of Naples. People watched the appearance of this foreign army from afar. When I heard that it was the person who used food to save Agrig from the famine crisis After the lord, from the beginning of the uneasiness to full of curiosity, more and more people ran around and told the arrival of Alexander.
But what amazed Alfred even more was the Balkans on the other two ships. From the neat and disciplined hunting guards to the rough and sloppy appearance, they were even more sturdy and stubborn Balkans, Alfred. It's a little bit of admiration that Alexander can only have such an army that looks very different in style.
On the shore, Alexander accidentally saw several artillery pieces placed on the tower near the port. Looking at the direction of the artillery shot, Alexander was somewhat surprised that there were actually experts in the Naples army who were quite familiar with artillery pieces. With some interest, especially remembering that if Gompati is here, you should definitely be able to chat with the person who installed these artillery.
Although ordinary Naples do n’t really care about whether the French will call, but from the road, we can still see that due to the changes of the war, the city has become a lot more depressed than before, and many shops have closed, and it ’s coming soon. While at the castle, Alexander finally saw the figures of soldiers patrolling the streets.
Seemingly aware of Alexander's slightly surprised look, the prince said dumbly: "We don't have many troops that we can organize, but my father has already paid for a group of mercenaries, and I believe they will be there soon."
Alexander nodded silently, and he knew more about the situation of the royal family in Naples than Alfred, who was a prince. This included the letter written by Count Modillo and Rosa to him about each borrowing. The size of the money for the royal family.
It can be said that the royal family of Naples today is entirely maintained by borrowing.
Then he finally met Frederick, King of Naples, and Count Modillo, who was also waiting for him, in the castle.
From the appearance, although not seen for a few years, Frederick still seems so calm and imposing. It seems that the dilemma he is facing now has not affected him a little. On the contrary, the Count Modillo on the side is somewhat more obvious than the previous spirit. A trace of tiredness and aging.
Seeing Alexandria, Frederick's expression was calm, but a little complicated look slightly revealed in his eyes, he could still see the strange mood in his heart.
For Alexander, Frederick was more pragmatic but more alert than his son. When he thought that he was only a small person like Lord Agri, he dared to face himself in the face. He did not know whether Alexander came back at this time. What kind of thoughts do you have?
Alexander stopped and bowed slightly to Frederick, not far from Frederick. Then, under the eyes of many eyes, he slowly straightened his waist and looked at Frederick with each other.
A whisper rang out, and many of the Naples nobles were clearly dissatisfied with this attitude of Alexander, but everyone knew that they were in need of strong assistance at this time, according to the description of those who just ran back to the report, This Gombre apparently brought back an army that seemed to be not to be underestimated.
"Lord, you should salute to the king as a courtier." Finally, someone could not help but stand up and express his dissatisfaction to Alexander. In fact, this is not so much because of the loyalty to the royal family, but because it is purely because of the previous one. Ignored little people are now not only well-developed, they even want them to flatter and jealousy.
Alexander looked coldly at the person. He had no impression of this person. In fact, he hardly remembered the aristocrats of Naples because he had no contact with these people at that time, and when he finally had a chance When dealing with them, he has left here again.
"Alexander is the earl of Montina." Earl Modillo, who was not far from Frederick's side, faintly showing his aloof status, finally opened his mouth. He stepped forward and looked at the people around him slightly. "In addition, he is The father of the Duchess of Pisa, and you probably have heard about his special relationship with the Grand Duchess of Wallachia, so who of you think he should appear here as a courtier of Naples, and if you must Careful about this, it should be mentioned to my niece, the Countess of Kosenza, Russa Kosenza, because of the vassal relationship between Agri and Kosenza, only my niece is qualified to question Alexander, otherwise please close Mouth, because what you are facing is not only a person who is not inferior to you regardless of your status, even a noble person, but also a person who may save our kingdom again! "
Upon exit of Count Modillo's words, there was a moment of silence in the hall.
In Naples, there may be people who dare to question Modillo, or even the king directly, but no one dares to openly question Miss Count Rosasa Cosenza.
Because almost everyone here borrowed money from Ruosha.
Frederick's face became harder to look at, and he glanced coldly at Count Modillo, what he had been guarding against was the enemy who seemed to have looked down on everything and had already given up power. Dillo's performance over the past few years also made him think that he had indeed given up the fight, but now seeing the count suddenly showing his fangs, Frederick couldn't help but feel a strong sense of crisis in his heart.
Alexander looked at Count Modillo, and when they met the count, they both couldn't help but smile lightly.
Even this expression stimulated Frederick, watching the pair of uncles suddenly suppressed all the people in the palace, Frederick couldn't help but let out a "hum" from his nose, he looked ugly again He glanced at Alexander and then sat down slowly.
But before waiting for Frederick to speak, Alexander had already said first: "His Majesty, please forgive my rudeness, but I found that my uncle seemed to be in poor health, so I will send him home to see the doctor, please allow me to ask you Quit. "
Saying that the stunned Frederick reacted, Alexander had walked to the Count Modillo, first bowed slightly, and then reached out and helped him to walk outside the hall.
Frederick stared at this scene in a daze, he even wanted to jump up and growl, but when his eyes swept around, he suddenly found that none of the Neapolitan dignitaries actually stood up and criticized the extreme rudeness of Alexander Move.
People just looked at this scene either resentfully, helplessly, or indifferently, but no one came forward to accuse the two people.
Frederick felt as if he had suddenly fallen into the ice cave, and an ominous hunch suddenly enveloped him.
Alexander, holding Count Modillo, just walked out of the hall and immediately released his hand.
Just when his hand touched the Earl's arm, he immediately felt the muscles in the Earl's arm instantly stretch. This is a unique reaction of those who often practice swordsmanship. When someone touches it, they will instinctively make defensive moves.
Obviously, the Earl and his appearance are different. Alexander even doubts that if he fights alone, he may not be his opponent. After all, he clearly remembers the Earl ’s family but has several famous Venetian and Genoa swordsmen. Good swordsman.
"You made Frederick angry this time," Count Modillo walked on the road and asked, "I've felt that you are different from the one you came in. You also hit Frederick before, but then You look like a beast with a wounded head. No one thinks that you will harm the king, but this time ... "The Earl shook his head before continuing." You have changed a lot. "
"But I am still your nephew, and I am still Qiao Modillo."
Alexander suddenly said the name that had not been used in a long time.
Hearing the name, the count's eyes lighted up, and his breath suddenly became rapid.
"We're about to start our plan, uncle," Alexander looked at the count with a bright gaze, seeing Modillo as slow as possible but still feeling a slight excitement. He looked around and lowered his voice and said, "So Before that we have to solve the possible stumbling blocks, I have decided to win Naples. "
Even Earl Modillo couldn't help being surprised when he heard this. He looked at Alexandria incredulously, and it seemed that he really felt a bit earning a living at this time.
"You mean you want to be the Regent of Naples?" Although he had already thought of something, the Earl tried to explain it in a sensible way. "That is not easy. Then you need to grab power from Frederick. This process is equivalent to a ... "
"Couple in the court." Alexander simply said the word for the count. "But you, my uncle, misunderstood. I mean you are the regent," said the count, who was not waiting for his eyebrows. Alexander's next words made the count count. He was even more shocked. "Luosha was the queen of Naples."
The foot of Count Modillo, who was walking, came to a sudden stop, which led the several attendants not far away to look at them, and then the Count continued to move forward, but this time his feet were much slower.
"Are you ready?" Count Modillo did not express surprise or stop, but asked the details of the action directly. "It's no joke to know, if we fail, we will only be in exile."
"Go to Castilla?" Alexander asked with a smile.
"I prefer to go back with the army, but I don't want to be the fugitive," said the Earl who had come to the carriage to stop and stretch out the sleeves of Alexander's exquisite coat, dragging him closer to himself and whispering in his ear. "Listen, since you have decided to do this, do n’t hesitate. I will summon all reliable nobles to the Duyran Palace at night. If you want to succeed, you must have their support, so you have to be prepared to make them feel that they can work for you. s things."
Alexander nodded silently. He knew that Count Modillo was a real conspiracy. This was how many years ago when he was an embassy in Castile, he planned to let his sister George Anna seduce King Enrique. As you can see, this earl is the kind of man who is really clever.
Alexander had always suspected that Count Modillo might have known from the beginning that he was not Joel Modillo at all, but it did not matter. Who was Gior Modillo was not important, what was important was that the count could realize him s plan.
However, Alexander was sometimes wondering whether the count had already known his relationship with Ruo Sha, and even he acquiesced in the existence of this relationship, because his relationship with Ruo Sha was actually related to George Anna and Enli. In the same way, as long as he really became King of Castile one day, the count ’s grand plan to reunify the two Sicilian kingdoms could continue.
Watching the carriage leave, Alexander glanced back at the palace. He knew that returning to Naples in such a tough way would definitely cause a panic, but what he needed was such a panic, because the situation was urgent, since there was no Xutu The time is worse than simply violently grabbing the power!
The result of the confusion is that it will definitely make some people busy, and he just wants to take the opportunity of this confusion to complete this final blow at an unimaginable speed!
When Alexander appeared in the "Lookout" tavern, it caused a confusion first and then a tremendous cheer that almost scared the people in the half street.
The owner of the pub, Bar, excitedly said, "Today's free wine and money is free", and the roof of the pub was almost lifted by cheers. This child made him feel a bit sorry for Mahimo, but he only looked at the child who looked more like Mahimo, and he could only look sympathetically at the man standing next to him.
But when Barr once again promised an extra day of free wine money, and then he drove away the overly enthusiastic guests to lead Alexander to the second floor, Barr's look slowly became dignified after standing in front of Alexander.
"We are ready for adults, and I have been looking for the people in need in recent years according to your orders. Now we can act according to your orders at any time." Barr said in a deep voice.
"Barr, I didn't let you leave Naples with me for today, believe me, after today you will become the new nobles of the Kingdom of Sicily," Alexander said, looking out from the window, because of the terrain He could overlook most of Naples and the Gulf of Santa Lucia in the distance, and then he couldn't help but sigh "This is really beautiful."
"Send someone to Cosenza, Barr," Alexander immediately ordered "tell my sister, Countess Cosenza, I'm back, I see, I want to conquer this kingdom."
