Conquer the Dawn of Heaven
Vol 6 Chapter 121: End of age
In the last two months of late 1499, a lot of hustle and bustle happened on the European continent on the northern coast of the Mediterranean. Some of these things were quickly forgotten by the eyes of the clouds, and some were in the invisible book "Time" A heavy stroke is recorded here.
At the end of October, General Aragon ’s General Gonzalo de Cordova led an Aragonese army of nearly 10,000 troops toward Greece, and a few days later they landed on a Venetian outpost island in the Ionian Sea. After two days of rest, they set off towards the coast of Greece where the Ottoman navy had appeared in the southeast.
For the arrival of the Aragonese, the Venetians were excited and at the same time they could n’t help but feel excited. They sent a large number of warships to **** the Aragonese army. The islands occupied by the Ottoman navy advanced.
For the Venetians, it is important to recapture the colony occupied by the Ottoman navy, but securing Crete is a more urgent matter.
The second war between Venice and Ottoman began.
On land, the fighting between France and Naples in early November gave the Europeans a different perspective.
Even after the battle has ended for a long time, many people who know the outcome of the victory still feel that what they hear is not true, because they can hardly imagine how the Naples defeated the French.
From the initial battle between the two sides until the French army was confined in the palace of Naples, the whole process took 4 days, and in these 4 days, the French army reportedly lost nearly 3,000 people, while the Naples seem to have only a few hundred, just heard This number gives people a sense of unreality that they can't believe.
The French army was powerful and invincible. Even if Charles VIII had just lost defeat in Italy just three years ago, no one would think that the French were weak.
As long as you think about how many countries have to form a sacred alliance to dare to resist France after hearing that the French have arrived, France can almost be said to be a single-headed coalition against half of Europe, but it still once played a vivid and colorful way to know the French army. How powerful.
And the almost invincible record of Louis XII on the way made him seem to have the momentum above Charles VIII, so when it was heard that the Naples defeated nearly 8,000 French troops, not many people believed it at first.
But over time, people have to gradually believe that this is indeed the case, because the French launched an attack on the Montina Genoa regiment near Genoa.
This was a late attack, because when the Genoese regiment advanced towards Alexandria a week ago, Louis XII seemed a bit hesitant despite receiving the report.
The rather subtle relationship with Genoa, or simply with the Lovere family, made Louis XII somewhat stumbling on how to deal with the Montina army. He hoped that old Lovere would become his ally as he had supported his predecessor. Although this hope had become somewhat slim due to the alliance between him and Alexander VI, the Dharma King still did not want to completely break with the Luo Weilei family.
Because whether it is Genoa in Lombardy or Rovere's family in the Vatican, their weight can be said to be important.
So although the Montina entered Northern Italy, Louis XII still did not want to clash with the Montina. After all, from the previous frequent visits between Alexander and Charlene, Count Montina seemed to be more concerned about his The site is under threat, not the selection of a sideline between France and Austria.
However, the attack of the French army in Naples by Naples completely broke Louis XII's expectation of maintaining neutrality for Montina, so after confirming what happened in Naples, the French king finally ordered the launch of the army with Montina on November 8. attack.
Within days, the news spread throughout Northern Italy to the Vatican.
Then, unexpected news came from Pisa.
A Montina army entered the territory of Pisa with permission from the Duchess of Estes, and then it was said that the 4,000-person Montina army was mainly composed of the most elite Agri Musketeers. With the cooperation of the Pisa City Defense Army, the French army staying in Pisa was expelled.
The two sides fought a short battle outside the city of Pisa, and then the Montina army entered Pisa, and the French army retreated along the river towards the port of Pisa.
No one can tell the victory or defeat of that short battle, but finally withdrew Pisa from the French army, many people speculate that the French lost.
This guess is surprising and even more unbelievable, because the French haven't had a defeat yet.
So at the beginning of hearing this result, the Vatican caused an uproar, followed by a lot of discussion, and then the city of Rome fell into a strange atmosphere.
Montina and Pisa, Valentia and Lucrezia, Rovere and Pogia, these people and things that seem to be born to be fatal enemies collide again, people involuntarily cast their eyes on those two can be said to be the European continent The most prominent Lao Zhang.
This time, the Pope and the Cardinal had to meet again, and this was the second special separate meeting between the two Vatican dignitaries in a few months.
It was still a very empty room without any decoration. It was still just a separate meeting between two giants who determined the destiny of the European church, but this time the attitude between them was much more subtle.
"Pizza is very important." The Pope looked at the opponent opposite, not knowing if he was hearted, he felt that Old Rovere seemed to be laughing.
"It's really important." Old Rovere said nothing. The timing of this meeting was a little too subtle. He didn't want to be invited, but Barendi's several consecutive moves to send troops worried him that things might become unmanageable. He had to appear in this room very unwillingly.
"Then it seems that the French are stationed in Pisa."
The words of Alexander VI made Old Rovere a bit surprised. Everyone now knows the connection between the Borgia family and Louis XII, but now he suddenly heard the Pope say this. Old Rovere was a little bit confused about what his opponent was doing. Trick.
"The French are not too happy in Rome for too long," Alexander VI looked at the old Rovere "or we can look at what will happen in Lombardy before making a decision."
Old Rovere looked at the Pope somewhat unexpectedly. He did not expect that Alexander VI would show him another thought of the French so directly, although he knew that even if he leaked the conversation here, Alexander VI would definitely not Will admit, but the first time he heard such an unabashed expression of his attitude towards the French, Old Rovere still felt a little unbelievable.
So for the Pope ’s apparently intention to wait and see on everything that happened in Northern Italy, Old Rovere expressed his cautious approval only with a very careful attitude, and then he left with full heart.
Looking at the cardinal's back as if he was suspicious, the pope could not help smiling.
This is the only smile he has had since he came to the Vatican with a few joys, the last time he was crowned Pope.
Old Luo Weilei returned to his villa with a lot of thought, and even the greetings from the children who just came from Genoa did not respond.
Constantine sensed his father's strangeness, but he did not rush to ask, because he knew the character of Elaine Loviret. If he didn't want to say it, no one could ask anything.
Since his last return from Montina, Constantine has become a lot calmer. He has seen the changes of Barenti with his own eyes, and also saw the terrible scene of the burning of his uncle Tony ’s main church. Di also felt something new in the change from anger to fear.
He began to reflect on himself, and began to examine the honor of the knights he had pursued for the past 30 years. Then he was surprised to find that the badges, glory and golden spurs seemed to become increasingly meaningless, especially when the Looking down from the bottom of his heart, when he did not compare honor to his brother-in-law, he found that all the honors he had received before seemed to be worthless in front of that person.
"Constantine."
There was a father's voice in the room, and Constantine outside the door immediately pushed the door in and saw him seeing his father sitting in a chair, his fingers steadily knocking on the armrest, as if thinking of something very important.
"You may have to go back to Montina," Old Rovere made Constantine's face pale as he opened his mouth. He opened his mouth to say something, but was stopped by the father who had already guessed his reaction and raised his hand. Opposition to Old Rovere has continued to say, "Listen to me, I feel bad, I mean, I think there is something the Pope is hiding from us. I believe this feeling is accurate, and I can be sure what conspiracy he is brewing."
"Does this have anything to do with Montina?" Constantine asked carefully, knowing that his father was a very sharp person, and he used this keenness to avoid the open fire and arrows against the Rovere's family time and time again. It is also because of this keen sense of smell that a few years ago, their family was able to escape a disaster that was almost wiped out from the hands of Alexander VI, who had just ascended the throne.
Then my father said that the pope would have a conspiracy, then there must be something bad happening.
"I'm worried about what conditions Goumbre has reached with the Pope. If that is the case for us, it will be more than bad and embarrassing."
Constantine knew these things about his father. After Montina returned to Rome, he could feel the taunting attitude towards him. After all, if he thought about being deported by his sister, how could this be? Unbearable.
"You go back to Montina, rest assured that Barendi will not treat you like that, don't forget that she is Rovere."
Constantine, who originally wanted to refuse, heard this and finally expressed no objection. He looked at his father very seriously.
Old Rovere looked at his son with approbation, knowing that Constantine had understood what he meant.
If Alexander said to Caesar that she is a Borgia when faced with such a situation, she reminded her son of the importance of family affection in their family. When Old Rovere said "She is a Rovere", how much more pride did she reveal There is a little helplessness.
Because they are all Borgias, Lucrezia can pray to Alexander to protect Caesar from the gun. Similarly, because they are all Luo Weilei, Barendi can also be completely disappointed with the family and again for the benefit of Montina. Shake hands with the Luo Weilei family.
"I don't know what they talked about, but don't you think the Pope's attitude is a bit strange, I doubt what Gombre promised to the Pope. Remember if he really promised anything, I think Barenti must know, So you have to go to Montina again, this time to let Barenti see the family's sincerity to her, and believe that I will not embarrass you if that is the case. "
Watching his son nod silently, old Luo Weilei sighed softly. He didn't regret it for everything he had done before. If he had another chance, he would still choose without hesitation, but this time he found that it was really necessary His proud daughter had a good talk.
Alexander VI was very happy, or rather proud.
Nomelo returned, bringing him news that made him extremely excited.
Alexander's ambition surprised the Pope. When he heard that he was trying to unify the two Sicilies, even Alexander VI couldn't help but froze for a long time because of the accident.
But after this meditation, Alexander VI suddenly and unexpectedly discovered that this idea is not only completely traceable, even if you think about it carefully, it may not be possible.
As the earliest Sicilian family descendant, Count Modillo can be traced back to the Norman era, and Ruosha ’s marriage directly made her the heir to Naples in the two Sicilian branches. The kingdoms made a claim not to mention it for the time being, the point is that all this made Alexander VI seem to see an incredible prospect for him.
Nomelo's own report to the Pope is a simple sentence: "Count Montina knows what he is doing."
It was from that time that Alexander VI's attitude towards the French became subtle.
He still encouraged Caesar to actively rebuild the Pope's army ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ This is undoubtedly the most important for their father and son, but at the same time he sent someone to summon the Moor who is said to have been jumping in the city of Rome.
Then Uliu left Rome overnight and rushed to Pisa. At the same time, Old Rovere sent Constantine to Montina again.
In mid-November, as the Montina army expelled the French army from Pisa, the French army, which had been monitoring the movements of the other party, finally began to attack the Montina army, which remained neutral after entering Lombardy, and almost at the same time, from Varese has been going south for nearly a week, and the Austrian army has also begun to move westward. In the direction of Turin, the Swiss and Austrian troops that have just received a loan from the new gold master and expanded their reinforcements have begun to follow. The avenue between Turin and Alexandria approaches south.
For a time, the situation suddenly appeared to be detrimental to Louis XII.
And at this time, Alexander met a messenger from afar in Count Modillo's house.
