Conquer the Dawn of Heaven
Vol 6 Chapter 76: The French are here
The French are here.
Although until the last moment some people still held a fantasy that there might be a miracle, maybe the French fleet on the Mediterranean Sea would be overwhelmed by the storm like the Persians who invaded Greece, or their war situation in the north was disadvantaged and they had to concentrate All the armies meet the difficulties over there, or some people are expecting that the army of Aragon will reach ahead of the French, so that they can be freed from the fate of being occupied by the French again, but all the expectations are ultimately Attributed to disappointment.
In early August 1499, after being prepared by procrastination, the expeditionary force sent by French King Louis XII finally appeared in the open sea of Naples, but now that the lighthouse that was originally used for warning is no longer guarded, and the news is left behind The officials did not swear to defend Naples from being violated as the queen swears when he left, they put on black clothes and carried black flags that symbolized the king ’s death, and then several nobles who could speak Leading a small group of infantry, cavalry, and a small artillery team composed of several people who handed over the weapons, opened the city gate and waited outside for the French to receive.
The French did not seem to be surprised that the Naples descended without a fight. They were already well prepared, and their commanders even dared to personally complete this highly honorable ceremony.
"The power given to me by the king of France and the people of France, I accept the surrender of Naples, and at the same time I swear in the honor of a noble knight to ensure that your dignity and safety are not violated."
Although the French commander was not kind, he had a strong commitment to let the Naples feel a little relieved, although they were well aware that such a commitment might be temporarily honoured, and it would be regarded as waste paper if it is not available for a long time, but at least Now this person is enough to give them face, so that they can go back and tell the people that they have to make a decision to ensure the safety of the people in the city.
After all, the king died, and two of them died in one breath. At the same time, as the regent queen, she abandoned all people and fled. At this time, choosing to surrender seems to be a good opportunity, and there are enough reasons.
Moreover, the supreme chief of the occupying forces sent by the French king should also be "experienced," so the Neapolitans should not encounter much trouble.
With such a thought, the officials even felt that they had become heroes of Naples.
Charlene walked on the road of the palace with some emotion, he had taken off his helmet, but the tightly wrapped black armor still brought invisible pressure to the people around him.
As an official of the Charles VIII era, Charlene did not actually think that he would be appreciated by the new king, at least not so fast, he might be left out for a long time when he thinks about it, and may even be found by those new king ’s favored officials He drove out of the palace and sent back to Savoy to spend a bleak life.
So when Louis XII applauded and appointed him as a messenger to visit Pisa, Charlene's gratitude to the king was self-evident.
Later, Louis showed extraordinary demeanor. He did not listen to the people around him that Charlene suffered a fiasco when he was stationed in Rome, so he was unusable. Instead, after understanding the process of the surroundings of Rome in detail, he was glad The use of Charlene once again allowed him to serve as a military advisor in his own army, a position that seemed to have little real power, but made many people jealous.
Next, Charlene became a strange combination of generals and diplomats, as well as politicians and spy leaders. While he was making plans for the king's upcoming battle on the frontal battle of the Italian war, he passed the nobles with Rome and many other places in Italy. He listened to the news of his complicated relationship, and he also exchanged music with a Moor through various channels, such as confidential information about how many troops Ludovico Sforza mobilized in Milan. It was passed to him through many channels.
The return of all these efforts was the decision of the French King Louis XII to vote for Charlene to be the supreme commander of the invasion of Naples, which dissatisfied the Count of Provence Garrol de Bowenken, who had originally Thought the king would give him this honorable position.
However, the count was clearly the king ’s most beloved person, because Louis XII subsequently appointed him as the commander to enter Rome. This honor was enough to offset his dissatisfaction, and even more enviable, but this also shows the king ’s The importance it pays is no less than that of those friends who had firmly supported him when he was the Duke of Orleans.
Charlene still wanted to come to Naples, because according to the information provided by the Earl of Julipe, Normanzi, Aragon ’s King Ferdinand seemed to have great ambitions for Naples. Charlene did not think that Earl de Bowenken could Dealing with this kind of thing clearly is not something that can be solved by relying solely on the army, which also makes him understand why the French King sent him to Naples instead of De Bowenken.
Another reason that made Charlene interested in Naples was that he had heard that the two kings of Naples had died one after another. Now the ruler of Naples ’exiled court is Alexander ’s sister, now the Queen of Naples.
Regent Queen, this name makes Charlene very interesting.
She is a queen, but she is just a regent, but if one day removes this seemingly cumbersome prefix, will the queen who is said to have only been for a short period of time become a real queen?
One Naples gathered three different forces, which made Charlene seem to return to the scene when he was in Rome, and he couldn't help but admit that if he had to choose, he would rather be with the young Monti The Earl Nassal dealt with.
There was not much news about the Naples court, but roughly the information that Charlene received was that Russa ’s exiled court is now in Billy Shelly.
At first, Charlene did n’t quite understand why the regent queen, or why Alexander chose that place as a foothold, until after seeing the map he vaguely felt the purpose of the other party ’s choice, and gradually understood Today, his environment does not seem to be as ideal as originally thought.
Billy Shelly is located in the interior of Naples. Although it is not very far from Naples City, it is not so easy to attack because of the mountainous terrain in the south.
In the southeast corner of Naples, Cosenza and Billy Shelly formed a horn that looked irregular but could depend on each other.
When Charlene was looking at the map, he was pondering the plans of the Naples. Then when he got the exact news that the Earl of Montina was now organizing an army for the Queen in the Naples court, Charlene was even more sure that all this should be that Prepare in advance for siblings.
And obviously, the situation is now that the Neapolitan surrendered the city consciously, but they obviously did not intend to give up resistance, so they took away as much as possible, and then left a city and the whole city for the French People.
Charlene could not help but admit that this hand is indeed very powerful, maybe if this kind of abandonment of the people in France may be hated by the people, even if the king returns again, it will be rejected, but in Italy, this is really nothing. .
Probably the Earl of Montina really knew this too, so he would not hesitate to choose to give up the city, but this gave Charlene a wonderful idea, he would like to know if the Earl Montina is facing a fall, is he still able to give up his territory so freely.
In short, the Naples threw the city to the French and then retreated to Billy Shelley, but Charlene would not think it was their timidity, instead he saw a trace of crisis.
If that Normezi ’s story is true, then Charlene will face not only the fledgling Naples forces, but also always ready to clash with the Aragonese army, although there is no Aragonese yet News of the troop dispatch, but Charlene will not wait for his opponent to appear before he hastily prepares.
So after entering the palace, he only wandered around and fulfilled his duties as an occupant, and then immediately returned to the barracks. He needed to formulate a plan to ensure the effective occupation of Naples by the French army in this complicated situation. Although I had made a rough preparation based on the information provided by Normezi before, the specific plan could not be determined until I arrived in Naples.
Normezi returned to Naples with Charlene. This former rebel turned into a collaborator of the leading party and the occupying army. His identity today is somewhat similar to that of Charlotte when Charlie invaded. The count, but Normezi himself knew clearly that he could not compare with Modillo.
However, Normezi also provided the French with valuable information, allowing them to take over the city more quickly and conveniently, and Charlene knew that it was important to occupy Naples as soon as possible before the Aragonese arrived.
So he simply appointed Normezi as the Naples Home Affairs Officer. For a time, Normezi had the authority, and he was the same for a while.
While Charlene tried to digest the huge loot of Naples, he did not just focus on this corner. He sent an army of less than 1,000 people to advance to Cosenza carefully, so as to test Neapolitan attitude.
This time, the French sent about 8,000 troops to occupy Naples. This is actually a lot more than Louis XII had envisaged. According to Louis ’s earlier judgment on the strength of Naples, he thinks that up to 5,000 people are enough. It's a waste.
After all, northern Italy is not yet stable. If too many people are sent, it may affect the northern war situation.
But the news brought by Normezi made Louis have to reconsider the possibility of direct conflict with the Aragonese. This made him finally decide to send 8000 expeditionary forces after careful consideration. As much as he could do nothing.
Charlene's current task is to complete the occupation of Naples as soon as possible, and to control South Italy as much as possible, which makes him annoyed with the fact that the brothers and sisters have left him with a situation that is not optimistic at all.
Obviously, the Naples court chose Billy Shelly as a place of exile. It was not just a casual search. The mutual support formed with Cosenza vaguely restricted the road to southern Italy. At the same time, the colossal castle and fortress of Cosenza were also blocked. Lived the French march towards the southeast.
"It seems that I have to talk to that Gombray properly."
Of course, Charlene knew that Louis sent him to Naples not for pure military occupation. It can be said that in today's French court, there are not many people who can deal with the Italians, and he is one of them.
Normezi came to Charlene again, and these days he had a very good life, or in a sense he did get the things he had always dreamed of and ruled Naples.
In today's Naples, Normezi is already a hot figure with real authority. He has not only obtained the power he had dreamed of before, but even more than he imagined.
Knowing that Normez knew that such power was not only illusory, it was also spurned by countless behind.
This also made Normezi wonder if such a price was worth it, but when he thought of the betrayal of the Aragonese against him, he felt that the only way to avenge Ferdinand was to cooperate with the French.
"You can now decide the fate of most people in this kingdom, and even their life and death, which should make you feel happy."
Charlene's words made Normezi a little bit dazed for a moment. His hand holding the glass paused a little before he slowly brought it to his mouth for a drink.
"Perhaps," Normezi said vaguely, and then he asked, "General, should you come to me just to drink? Is there something I should do?"
Charlene nodded and said hello to Normezi: "I think you will send me a message to Count Montina, maybe he is willing to talk to me about Naples."
Normezi slowly drank the wine from the glass, and then looked at Charlene and said, "General, what do you intend me to bring to the count?"
"I hope he can cooperate with us," Charlene said with discretion. "Since the Aragonese are coming, why can't he form an alliance with my king? Maybe his sister can't accept this reality, but I think The Earl himself understands their situation today, so I look forward to the good news you can bring back to me. I believe you know that this is also important to you. "
Normezi listened silently. He knew that Charlene meant that whether he could fulfill his mission was related to his future status in front of the new King of Naples.
But Normezi didn't care much about these.
He noticed Charlern's words of hope that Alexander would cooperate with the French, which made Normezi irritable.
"I will take your words to the earl," Normezi nodded to Charlene and expressed his willingness to accept his mission, and he did not forget to remind "but generals, the Aragonese will probably appear at any time, so I It is recommended that you gather the army as soon as possible at this time. "
Charlene nodded slightly, he knew that Normezi was right, but he had just captured Naples and he must give the army a chance to indulge.
As for the threat from the Aragonese, Charlene is still very confident in the 8,000 French troops he brought.
Although not far from Naples to Billy Shelley, this journey became an insurmountable obstacle for the French.
This is because not only is the complex mountainous terrain of southern Italy greatly restricting the route that the French may enter, but worse, the threat from Cosenza may approach the French side at any time.
When Normezi was about to go to Billy Shelley, an unexpected news cast a shadow over his trip.
Sherron ’s army sent to Cosenza to be tested was unexpectedly attacked shortly after entering the territory of Cosenza. According to the description of the French soldiers who came back, they were attacked by all but the identifiable Cosenza There is another army.
Charlene thought of the Montina, but in Normezi he heard that there were not many Montina troops brought by Alexander, which caused Charlene to wonder.
Charlene began to worry about things going wrong, so he urged Normezi to go on the road as soon as possible, and at the same time he again told Normezi to ask him to understand his sincerity to Alexander.
"I hope the Earl can understand that working with us is more reliable than working with the Aragonese. After all, Ferdinand's ambition is clear to all of us."
Charlene left Naples with Normezi ’s instructions. The news of the frustration of the French in Cosenza made Normezi cautious. He knew that the reason why Alexander did not kill him was to let him know about Ferdinand tried to confuse Naples with the French, and now the French had arrived in Naples. Although Normezi was not yet clear what Alexander would do next, he began to worry about his safety.
Normezi ’s fears were not unfounded. As Count Julipe, he became the French agent in Naples, which was enough to make many hate him.
He couldn't think of any reason why Alexander would protect him, a traitor from Naples.
Normezi was worried, and the subsequent encounter on the road made him feel as if he was about to come.
Soon after they entered Billy Shelley, the team of emissaries he led was intercepted, and then the Earl of Julipe, although not humiliated by turning off his weapons, was required to withdraw their flag.
Normezi, anxious to see Alexander, ignored the indignant protests of the French who followed him, but wisely followed the orders of the Neapolitans.
What he wanted was to see Alexandria as soon as possible, because he would be safer only when he saw the Earl of Montina.
It's been a few years since Normezi came to Billy Shelley last time. At that time, he didn't have much impression of this backcountry, but he never expected that it would one day become the exile of the court of Naples.
As for how many members of the royal family of Naples remain in this court, this is another matter.
The Naples flag fluttering over Billy Shelley's castle looked very striking from afar, but Normezi paid more attention to the other two flags hanging side by side on the city wall.
On one side is the unicorn flag of Cosenza, and on the other side is the quirky Montina pennant.
Seeing the three flags flying side by side, Normezi suddenly had a strange thought in his heart. It seemed that the era of the Kingdom of Naples was actually over.
Normezi was brought into the castle. When he was finally allowed to see the count after waiting impatiently, he did not expect that with the arrival of a sudden messenger, everything became chaotic.
It was a whole body of dust ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Even the original soldier could not be seen on his face. The dark red uniform and short cloak on his body showed his identity, and when the soldier rushed all the way into the castle, Even disregarding the warning of the Balkan guards, he rushed directly under the door of the hallway and was forcibly stopped. Alexander, who just came out of it, saw this surprising scene.
"Adult! Montina urgently reported!" The hunting guard shouted and turned off the horse, but when he tried to untie a leather bag with essentials from his waist, the soldier suddenly fell and fell to the ground.
"What did I see," Alexander asked around a little unexpectedly. He quickly walked to the unconscious hunting guard and squatted down, pulling away his military uniform, and said helplessly to the people around him. "My hunting guard actually Fainted like a girl in front of me. It would be too bad if all my soldiers were like this. "
Alexander said that he opened the purse and took out the secret letter. When he carefully checked the seal and opened the letter, he only looked at the first few lines.
