Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

The eyes of the whole Europe once again condensed in the same place.

The last time this happened was the siege of Bucharest by Ottoman Sultan Bayesert II, when the whole of Europe was holding his breath to watch the city, especially the emperor Maximian, who paid more attention to the war than anyone else. 'S victory or defeat, because if Bucharest is lost, it will be his Vienna who is in danger next.

Fortunately, a miraculous victory completely smashed the dream of Bayestet II. With Sudan himself seriously wounded on the battlefield, at least it is certain that Europe has been safe for some time.

As for the Ottoman army at sea, it is still ready to invade the Venetian colonial islands. This is a bit distant for many Europeans, and it seems that it can be ignored.

But at the end of August 1499, in Varese in northern Italy, inland Europe, the collision of two European giants attracted everyone's attention.

The 42,000 French troops personally led by King Louis XII of the Kingdom of France, and the Austrian army of about 35,000 men commanded by the Holy Roman Emperor, Grand Duke Maximian of Austria, in the hilly area between Varese and Lake Como Encountered, after a hundred years of war between Britain and France, the largest war between European powers was triggered at once.

Maximian sent one of his court officials. Even at the last moment, he still hopes to resolve this seemingly inevitable battle by means of relaxation. For the emperor, this war is actually a helpless choice. Except for his promise to Milan, at least until now it seems that his interest in Italy has not been lost to the point where he will meet Louis XII directly.

But he will choose to temporarily confess the reasons, more because of his poor financial status.

The Fugger's family seems to be unable to count on it. The family is still overwhelmed by themselves, and bad news about the Hungarian copper mine keeps coming. It is said that the Duke of Zagreb who just became king of Bosnia said It protects copper mines in Hungary, and the beneficiaries of the copper mines seem to be a previously unknown Roman businessman who is now unknown.

In short, no one is worrying, and what makes Maximian most worrying is his army.

The Austrian army that sent troops to Italy was composed of a part of the troops that Maximian personally used to suppress the Swiss and another army originally stationed on the western border of the Grand Duchy of Austria.

The bankruptcy of the Fugger family embarrassed the emperor's finances, although he did not have to rush to repay the sum of money he had previously borrowed from the Fugger family. Without financial support, the emperor suddenly found that his army seemed to have raised a little.

The Austrian army can recruit about 48,000 to a maximum of 60,000 people when it is needed. This number is already somewhat unbearable for Maximian, but because of the support of Fugel, he did not need to The huge military expenses are worrying, but now he needs to think about what to pay the soldiers for the next few months.

So Maximian did not want to fight the French in a comprehensive way, because that was indeed unbearable for him.

Maximian hoped that Louis XII would respect his identity. As for Ludovico in Milan, Maximian would support him only because he feared that the French would be disadvantaged once they took root in Italy. It would violate his interests, and Maximian would not be too stubborn to stand on Ludvik.

What just disappointed the emperor was that Louis XII was as stubborn and overbearing as his nasty predecessor. Not only did the French king reject the euphemism proposed by the emperor to respect the due rights and interests of the Sforza family, he even refused Openly demanded Maximian to withdraw from Italy.

"Because this is an internal issue of Milan's legal heir."

Such an answer is equivalent to completely running Maximian into the corner. Faced with this situation, the emperor knew that if he really withdrew his troops obediently, he would simply plunge in the court of Vienna to hide people from seeing each other, never again. Coming up with it, this is absolutely unacceptable to Maximian.

Often there is only one result that cannot be discussed, and what is not available at the negotiating table can only be obtained on the battlefield. For a time, the armed forces of the two sides prepared to fight.

Although the Austrian army vaguely showed signs of cutting off his retreat, Louis XII was not worried. He knew that he had more troops than the enemy, and the number of artillery was far more than his opponents, which gave Louis XII confidence. But the most important Still he had heard rumors that the emperor seemed to be in a financial crisis.

In this era, confidentiality is often not very important, and some messages that do not involve specific confidentiality can be discussed casually in front of people, not to mention that the emperor ’s gold master has encountered troubles earlier. Now look at Mark. Simian could n’t wait to take the initiative to solve the problem, and Louis XII quickly guessed the embarrassment facing the emperor today.

After Yan Yan rejected Maximian ’s suggestion, Louis XII did not rush to mobilize the army. He began to build field fortifications and semi-permanent camps. At the same time, he ordered an army to return to Milan.

Previously, because he had declared himself the ruler of Milan, Louis XII was not eager to make people search Milan's art treasures and wealth accumulated over the years, but now he sent people back to collect the wealth exclusively for military spending.

Louis XII was ready for a long-term confrontation with the emperor, until finally he had awkwardly squandered Maximian.

The French King ’s plan did not hide Maximian, or Louis did not plan to hide his plan from the beginning, and watched a team of workers called over from the French camp begin to work in full swing, Maximian is in a dilemma.

No money is impossible, and there is not much money left in his purse.

As the weather gradually cools down, the military camp will inevitably add all kinds of equipment after the autumn, which makes the emperor realize that it must not be delayed any longer.

Maximian made up his mind.

On September 4, the Austrian army first launched the offensive.

A Bohemian light cavalry hired with the Austrian army took advantage of the early morning mist to raid a French position near Lake Como's southwest bay.

This is the rightmost wing of the French army. The Austrians chose it mainly because they were familiar with this area by a Bohemian light cavalry across Lake Como.

The French army began to panic about the sudden attack by the Austrians.

This is because the soldiers from Louis XII to the ordinary soldiers below are somewhat underestimated. They believe that the Austrians who are at a disadvantage will not take the initiative to provoke the incident. Perhaps the French will be glad to thank God for the defensive Austrians.

But this time the French were obviously wrong. Soon after the intelligence of the Austrian army's offensive was sent to Louis XII, the bad news that the Como Lake position had been lost was sent immediately.

Louis XII was completely irritated. Although knowing Maximian ’s eagerness to engage in war and the correctness of his delaying tactics, it can be used as the first real battle after the throne. Louis XII also has to accept the challenge. s reason.

The king summoned his generals, and after some debate and discussion, on September 5, the French army began to advance to Varese occupied by the Austrian army.

Louis XII has decided that just as Maximian wanted to cut off his retreat to France from the direction of Turin, he also had to cut off the retreat of the emperor back to Austria. As for who first gave up the original plan to find the other's decisive battle, it depends on both sides Who can't breathe first.

Facts have proved that the Dharma King is more stable and full of determination.

After learning that the French army was not advancing to Turin, where their main force was, but advancing towards Varese, Maximian who had just arrived at Varese had to order the original plan to advance from Turin to the southeast, directly threatening the French The Austrian army at the back of the army quickly moved closer to Varese.

The war between the two European powers broke out. At this time, only one person in the whole of Europe knew that this would be a long war that lasted for nearly three generations for 60 years.

It is just that although he knows this major event in history, this person is now having his own little troubles, so he will not care about the war between France and Austria for the time being.

Compared with the big event of direct collision between two European powers, the battle in Romagna is trivial and inconspicuous, although it is not the case for the parties, but even in the Vatican, people talk more about it. A two-state war.

Caesar has returned to Rome, but was carried back.

He was not injured in the battle, whether it was good luck or because the bullets and arrows of the Montina were hiding from him. Caesar left Ferrara intact.

Perhaps because of being too proud, after seeing the Compatriots send the seized flag back, Caesar finally fell ill because of the tension, hesitation, and relentless continuous blows these days.

Because the weather suddenly turned cold and it rained, Caesar had a high fever and sometimes talked nonsense, so when he returned to Rome, the young Duke of Valentino looked really bad.

When Alexander VI was delighted for his son ’s return, he also expressed inexpressible anger at Caesar ’s encounter. He wrote Caesar ’s misfortune to Lucrezia in detail. At the end of the letter, the Pope could not bear it. Wrote: "Now that your lover has won, I suggest that you should start calmly thinking about what to do next. Otherwise you are so mean to your family, I even doubt if you are me 'S daughter "

Lucrezia was terrified by her father ’s harsh accusations. She hurriedly ordered people to prepare for themselves to rush back to Rome to visit her sick brother, but before waiting for her team to set off, a letter from Montina She pressed back to the regency throne in Pisa.

Balendi's letter is still cold and not much enthusiasm. In fact, there is really nothing to say between her and Lucrezia.

This has always been in Rome, and it was like this when their respective fathers were under the wings. Lucrezia was always like the most dazzling sun that people were paying attention to, and Barendi was the most obscure star, sometimes thinking about it. Barendi felt that he might be able to find some topic with the bohemian wild girl. As for Lucrezia, it was impossible to talk.

"The French will not come for a while, Tuscany and Romagna, who do you think should rule at this time, or do you think that such a farce should happen again soon?" It is very polite to sarcasm the father and son of the pope. "In order to prevent this from happening again, I suggest that you reiterate our previous proposal to the pope as soon as possible, and this time I don't think it will be much more difficult. Remember This is a rare opportunity to lay the last strong nail for Alexander ’s reign in Romagna and Tuscany. "

After receiving the letter, Lucrezia gradually calmed down, and she knew that Barendi ’s suggestion was to revisit the takeover of Ferrara by Mahimo, so that the city was at least nominally owned by the Pope, but in essence Ferrara will be ruled by Montina.

But Barenti ’s ambitions seem to be more than that. While she proposed that Mahimo should be in charge of Ferrara, she also proposed the conditions for Busako to withdraw from Bologna, that is, to bologna to Ferrara, and Montina will compensate the Holy See with a generous compensation to cover the losses that Bologna may suffer during the occupation.

"Barendi de la Rovere." Looking at the letter, Lucrezia was a little timid. She felt that if she returned to Rome with such a condition, maybe Alexander VI would really disown her because of her anger. daughter.

But as the letter said, Lucrezia knew that this was indeed a rare opportunity, whether it was important for Alexander, for her, or for their daughter Estres.

It's just that Lucrezia didn't follow Barenti's instructions exactly. She sent them all to Uliu and Mahimo in Rome while writing all of them as secret letters and sent them by boat. Naples, she wants to complain to Alexander.

Lucrezia felt that Barenti's request was too much, and after hearing this request, Alexander came up with an oriental idiom, "Delongwangshu".

Busaco ’s reckless move brought a crisis to Montina, but what everyone did not expect was that Barenti used this crisis to seek greater benefits for Montina, and in the whole The most striking aspect of the process is her unhesitating way of dealing with Tony Della Rovere, which not only made many people feel afraid of Barenti, but also made them realize that this has not yet been officially held The wedding, however, has been recognized as a powerful young woman by the Countess of Montina.

Of course, Alexander did not think that Barendi ’s condition was unreasonable. After reading in detail the letters sent by the two women almost indiscriminately, and the many messages sent by Uliu from Rome, Alexander finally responded to the situation. Have a detailed impression.

The French and the Austrians were dead in Northern Italy. Although this was expected, Alexander was still glad to hold Ruosha in a circle, which made Shell staying outside scared. Keep several servants away.

Many people do not know what the consumption between the two European powers, Louis XII's France and Maximian's Austria, will be, but Alexander is very clear.

When those two countries compete for European hegemony, the two countries in the Iberian Peninsula far southwest of Europe will rise rapidly. While most people ’s eyes are still in the old world, Spain and Portugal has set its sights on new routes and new worlds on the vast ocean.

The future belongs to the sea and belongs to the new world. Alexander told Russa so many times that even when he saw him looking out the window in Naples, Russa would have the illusion that he seemed to sail away at any time.

"My brother, will you leave me?" Luo Sha asked after allowing Pressure Hill to kiss her lips.

"Then you have to let me kiss you again, and I will answer you." Alexander said a little shamelessly, and he didn't seriously say to Luo Sha until he got what he wanted. "Reassure I won't leave you, and I used to You promise to give you a completely different world, and I have never forgotten this. "

"But your trouble now is Romagna. Do you think that the pope will promise your wife this ..." Zuo Sha took a look at Barrondi's letter and thought about it before finding a more appropriate term "blackmail?" "

"Hah, this is indeed a blackmail," Alexander smiled a bit pretentiously. He sat down and brushed the smooth arm of Rusha with the soft feathers of the quill. After Rusha couldn't help laughing because of itching, he picked up the letter. The letter read again. "Barendi's idea is indeed good, but as you said it was a blackmail, and with my knowledge of the Pope, he would not easily agree to this condition."

"Then what do you plan to do, Alexander I must remind you that if the Aragonese are really coming soon, then the next thing you have to do is consider how to deal with Ferdinand, at this time you have no extra strength to take care of both Naples and Rome nirvana."

Looking at Ruosha's increasingly serious expression, Alexander nodded slowly.

Ruosha obviously talked about the source of the trouble he is facing today ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ With the French invasion, I believe that the arrival of the Aragonese army will not be far away, maybe they are now on the road.

"Therefore, the impasse must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise ..."

"Otherwise, the letters from your women's complaints may have buried you." Ruosha glanced at the messy letters on the table, which were sent from Montina and Pizza these days Most are one letter a day, sometimes even two or three a day.

Alexander only smiled slightly at the rare jealousy that Ruo Sha showed, and he knew she was just doing it on purpose.

After consideration, Alexander began to write back to Uliu in Rome.

In the letter, Alexander wrote: "Find a suitable time, go and see the Cardinal."
