Vol 6 Chapter 104: Stormy waves over the Mediterranean
The arrival of Gonzalo brought a lot of changes to Sicily. The most obvious one is that the great fortress south of Palermo was taken over by the Aragonese army, but although the scale of the fortress is not small, it can still not be the whole army. Provide enough accommodation, so many houses near the fortress were also announced by Flamenza to be requisitioned to provide to the nearly 10,000 soldiers who suddenly became more.
As a result, the city of Palermo seemed to be crowded all at once. Aragonese in red and yellow striped coats and fish-shaped helmets could be seen everywhere on the street. These were all sent out to purchase various necessities. The quartermasters of Palermo, as their bargains with quirky accents, Palermo ’s streets and alleys became lively and troublesome.
Aragonese soldiers have a strange attitude towards the locals. On one side, they ridiculed the Sicilians as a vassal of Aragon. They were reluctant to admit that although they were two different countries, they were ruled by a king, but they could not be concealed. I envy the life of the locals, which in their eyes is so rich and prosperous.
Iberia is barren, at least in the eyes of many Aragonese civilians. Unlike the Apennine peninsula, Iberia, which is also a peninsula, is not so good-looking. The northern Pyrenees have caused The barriers, the lack of granary plains like Lombardy, and the lack of numerous ports that can connect the Eastern and Western Mediterranean routes. As for the new world routes that will create miracles in the future, this time has only just begun, it is just fresh in the eyes of kings and nobles Gadgets
In other words, even in the later period of the great development of the new world, Spain in the future will not be able to fully utilize the huge wealth acquired from the new continent, so when other countries have risen with the arrival of the new era, they once ruled The oceanic Spain, however, went into decline after infinite glory.
Of course, some people still know this, but the prosperity of Sicily beyond the Aragonese imagination has made these Iberian buns dazzled, especially when they saw that the locals actually had the leisurelyness to build those vulgar and vulgar in some squares. After the marble carving fountain, he was stunned by this pagan style stuff.
The Iberians are devout Catholics. The years of war with the Moors have made them so extreme that even in the Holy See there are concerns that the Iberians are too fanatic and may cause trouble. The church generally dislikes some depraved behaviors of the Holy See, such as when it is heard that the Romans actually entrusted the messengers sent by the Ottoman Sultan as a guest, many Aragonese nobles accused "the Holy See has been bought", And some radical Castilians even shouted the word "blasphemy".
So immediately there were soldiers who wanted to smash the evil things that were full of pagan style. If local officials were not rushed to stop them in time, maybe the Aragonese soldiers would do even worse.
These troubles quickly reached Flamenza, but the governor just smiled and did not care about these troubles.
Whether the Sicilian is aggrieved or harassed by those soldiers, he does not care. Like those Aragonese soldiers, Sicily is more of a vassal of the Aragonese kingdom in his eyes. As long as he can ensure It was enough to provide Gonzalo ’s army with enough supplies when he was in Sicily. As for the troubles caused by those soldiers, he was completely unconcerned.
What surprised Flamenza was that he did not expect that his mother-in-law, the wife of Gomes Palace, would come to Sicily with Gonzalo. Speaking of him, the wife of the same age as him Not much favored, especially after hearing about her intentions, Flamenza behaved more indifferently.
Mrs. Gomez did not come to visit her daughter, but came to seek help from Flamenza.
As a Castilian clan, the marriage of Gomez couples is the result of a typical marriage of interests. At first, Mrs. Gomez ’s family worked hard for her husband to find the Sicilian palace, and they The husband and wife also planned well, and asked to return to the Aragonese court when their term expired, and then Gomez could use this qualification to find a satisfactory position in front of the king.
However, Gomez died suddenly, and then Sicily fell into chaos at that time, and the cleansing of the noble parliament by Flamenza in Sicily caused the family of Mrs. Gong Xiang to be involved in the big trouble of supporting the Sicilian parliament.
Especially in the recent period, with the actions of Flamenza, both Aragon and Castilla have set off a **** wind, and Mrs. Gong Xiang ’s natal family is calculating the new and old accounts together. The situation is stormy, and it seems that you may be in desperation at any time.
After some hard work, to no avail, Mrs. Gong Xiang had to come to Sicily with Gonzalo's fleet for the family. She hoped to get help from Flamenza. After all, Flamensa can now be said to be Fei Dinant is one of the most trusted confidantes, and he is also the source of all this trouble. It would be great if he could come forward to punish his family.
Mrs. Gong Xiang had a good idea, but she did not expect Flamenza to be very cold with her arrival, and even had a little hostility.
This is actually not difficult to explain. At the time, the age-disparity marriage between Flamenza and Miss Gomez was entirely a decision made by Queen Isabella to unite the two countries more closely. Dinan ’s support, and at that time, Flamença did not expect that his wife ’s prestigious life, which would have brought him enough benefits, was in jeopardy because he was involved in the Sicilian aristocracy.
Ironically, he was the one who pushed his wife's family to hell.
Flamenza was originally annoyed by this matter, and was even unhappy about the arrival of Mrs. Gong Xiang.
He threw his wife's mother aside by inviting Gonzalo to the banquet, and at the same time inquired about the relationship between Gonzalo and his mother-in-law.
Flamenza did not want to offend Gonzalo. Now the general is a celebrity who has received double favors in front of the two kings. This makes him wonder if Gonzalo really did his own cheap old man. Reaching out to help a wife's family.
To Flamenza's surprise, this **** who had always been cold was actually vegetarian this time. After repeatedly suggesting that the two had no relationship, Flamenza was even more disgusted with his wife's family. Frequently.
"Do you still have to keep a festival for your husband who is a dead ghost? Don't you know that this man is now a celebrity in front of the king. I don't know how to grasp such a good opportunity. It is really destined for the whole family to decline."
Just when Fromesa complained that the mother-in-law did not know how to use her own resources, Mrs. Miyazaki was enjoying the professional services provided by the tailor on the second floor of the Osborne tailor shop. During this period, the guys in the shop had knocked on the door twice. This somewhat affected the interest of the two customers, but the lady still felt that the dress was good.
"I have to say that this time I did not come smoothly. The Governor's attitude was very cold. I made me a little worried that my daughter's life was not good." Mrs. Gong Xiang said slightly worried. "You probably have heard that The terrible things happening in Castile and Aragon, "said the lady who lowered her voice." I can assure you that what you have heard is neither all nor the most terrifying. You need to know that some things are just listening It will be creepy in a moment. "
Osborne nodded in understanding. He had known Mrs. Miyako for a long time, but in his memory the arrogant woman had never been so embarrassed.
"Maybe I can help you," Osborne tentatively said, "You know I know some people."
"You have helped me, at least this is the fastest day of my life in the past few years," Mrs. Gong Xiang rarely did not appear to be domineering as usual. "But you can't help me, but the person who can help me is not willing to shoot. "
"Governor he ..."
"No, I'm not talking about the Governor. I'm talking about Gonzalo." Mrs. Gong Xiang said a little helplessly. "He doesn't seem to want to be involved. In fact, many nobles have asked him for help, but he didn't respond. This This time I followed his fleet to Sicily. I hinted more than once along the way, but he did n’t respond. "
Osborne nodded silently. He knew what the suggestion of his wife meant. Although it made him a little unhappy, he could understand her helplessness at this time.
It's just that Gonzalo was indifferent to Mrs. Gong Xiang, which made the tailor irritated for some reason.
"Maybe I can go to Camuli, the old man is now a famous person even in the court of Aragon."
Madam's words made Osborne shake his head: "I advise you to be cautious, that Camille is famously smooth and he will not make any promises."
"But I have to find a way for the family!"
Mrs. Gong Xiang shouted in excitement, and then she sat down and rubbed her forehead helplessly: "You don't know what happened, everyone is very alarmed now, because I don't know who will be involved, some people say this is the king While taking advantage of the opportunity to collect power, their power is actually stronger than any monarch in history. "
Osbourne listened silently while sitting beside him. He knew that his wife was only venting the emotions that had accumulated in her heart for a long time, so he did not just listen quietly.
Mrs. Gong Xiang was still talking and talking, but Osborne's thoughts had been transferred to a note sent by the previous man.
This is a very ordinary note, and it is no different from the past that guests sent people to order custom-made clothes, but Osborne knew who wrote the letter after reading two obscure secret notes on the note.
"Perhaps, you can try it," Osborne said, seeing Mrs. Miyazaki stopped and looked at him, and the tailor explained, "I mean go to Camuli, and I can bring you a message if you want. . "
Mrs. Gong Xiang smiled, she shook Osborne's hand firmly to express gratitude, and at the same time her expression faintly relaxed.
She fell into Osbourne's eyes like this, but suddenly felt that maybe all the indignation and dissatisfaction before her were just acting, and her purpose was to want to match her with Camusuri.
But the tailor could not care about these tangles. Alexander's side strip was very clear, and he should rescue Modillo from the palace as soon as possible.
In September 1499, when the French and Austrian armies fought fiercely in Northern Italy, there was another major event in the Mediterranean that caught people's attention.
That is, after having experienced the failure of Bucharest and had to tentatively plan the invasion, the Ottoman navy began a maritime invasion of Venice's last colonies on the Mediterranean.
In August, the Venetian fleet had rushed to their island of Kisila in the eastern Mediterranean, which is one of the few colonies they can still retain, and the closest to the maritime transit station in Crete one of.
Although reluctant, Taranto, who has always had a close relationship with Venice, was also vigilant. The Taranto people knew that they would be an obstacle to the Ottoman invasion of the Adriatic Sea, which made them even unwilling. Nor can you just sit back and ignore.
Taranto's warships also joined the Venetian fleet. At the same time, after receiving generous rewards from Venice, the Count of Taranto dispatched nearly a thousand troops led by his son.
This maritime war is destined to attract the attention of Europeans, because if many Venetian colonies, including Crete, are captured, it means that the Ottomans will completely occupy the Mediterranean East, and by then the entire coast of southern Europe will be Faced with the direct threat of the Ottoman Empire.
Because of this, when the Ottoman fleet quickly assembled in the waters between Crete and Rhode Island, a letter of assistance was quickly sent to the Vatican.
It was the Venetians, Tarantos, and several kings of the Balkans who had just emerged from the threat of the Ottoman army.
Among them, the letter of assistance sent in the name of the Grand Duchess of Wallachia and the King of Bosnia clearly stated that they "hope that Rome can resist the invasion of pagans in the honor of the Christ world and devotion to God, and let Bucharest be free 'S glory appeared again on the Mediterranean Sea. "
Such eager anticipation naturally resonated a lot, and even the gracious content written by the Grand Duke was regarded as a chatty resource in the living room of the Roman aristocracy, so that when the transcripts of the letter were sent to Monti respectively After receiving Pisa and Pisa, they also caused a lot of reactions.
Lucrezia showed a rare sympathy, and perhaps it was quite a similar experience that made her fully understand Sophia, who is now waiting alone in Bucharest, and she immediately expressed her support for the letter of assistance as the guardian of the Duchess of Pisa.
But Barendi's performance is very different.
After seeing the letter, she sneered and sneered at first, who didn't know who wrote such a sensational letter for the wild girl who didn't know the characters, and then she ordered the Chamber of Commerce to deliver goods to the Balkans to increase it appropriately. The selling price of all military equipment.
"They can exchange their commodities with their coal, copper, and anything they can get. But if they want to rely on such a letter, it is impossible to get more. As for me to send troops, it is even less. Possibly, Montina just experienced a war. "
Barenti sent the person who sent the letter back to Rome without hesitation. She felt that the letter was sent to her deliberately in the Vatican, who had taken Ferrara and Bologna in disguise. The conspiracy of the dissatisfied priests.
The facts proved that Barrondi ’s guess was not unfounded. Someone in the Vatican soon proposed to organize the Crusaders again to fight the invasion of pagans. In view of the feat of Count Montina in Bucharest, the Count should personally lead the army.
It's just a pity that the ruthless response from the Countess of Montina came as soon as this proposal was put forward. The statement that "The Countess is going to take revenge on her rivals" for a time was clamoring in the city of Rome.
News from the sea also inevitably reached Naples, even because the sea traffic was more convenient to know earlier.
During this time, the Naples army has also been assembled. After secretly signing a non-aggression treaty with the French, the Naples army was careful, and then began to speed up the withdrawal from the area confronting the French, except for reservations The next part of the necessary defensive force, the Naples army is always ready to start.
At this time, Pope's personal secretary Nomelo came to Billy Shelley.
When meeting Luza, Nomelo couldn't help but be surprised.
He had seen Ruosha before, and although he did not have many times, he remembered the beautiful young lady of nobility very well.
In Nomelo's impression, Ruo Sha, although beautiful, was no different from Lucrezia, at least he didn't think the young queen could compare with her sister-in-law.
But after seeing Rosa again, Nomelo accidentally discovered that the legends about the queen turned out not to be catching the wind, at least looking at the novelty image of her wearing a strangely shaped light armor, let Nomelo I could not help but secretly compare her with the image of the goddess on the Ladia gold coin that is also circulating in Rome ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The conclusion is that the young queen is in front of the image on the gold coin Even more impressive.
Although she was surprised, Ruosha quickly accepted Nomelo's arrival, but when she heard of Nomello's intentions, Ruosha's original dignified but sympathetic look could not help but subtle changes.
"Your Majesty hopes that you and the Earl will understand that it is unwise to fight the war with Sicily," Nomelo looked at Russa's growing indifference and explained his intentions. "But if you can explain Naples' intentions in detail, I It means that if you can prove how confident you are, maybe Your Majesty will consider the claim you raised about the possible unification of the two Sicilies in the Vatican. "
Listening to Nomelo's hint of turning around, Ruosha looked a little strangely silent for a while, then she suddenly chuckled softly and gave Nomelo an unexpected answer: "If there must be a certainty, I think it should be It ’s the Ottomans. "
