Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

The winter at the beginning of 1500 was colder than ever before, and the heavy snowfall for several days seemed to bury the whole world.

In addition to this snow, there is another year that made 1500 doomed from the beginning to be an unusual year.

The war between France and Austria in Northern Italy became unexpectedly cruel. The armies of both sides had to trudge through the snow even in the snowy days. The French barely established a weak The defense line, their purpose is only to prevent the Austrian army from retreating to Milan. This defense line was built on the Lombard Plain without any terrain to rely on. Although some rivers could be used as natural barriers, the freezing of the river surface made this barrier. What can be depended on.

And because of fears that the Orideans might bypass from elsewhere, the French army must not share the already insufficient troops on several main routes to Milan, which actually makes the French direction very Fragile and even flawed.

The only thing that can make the French feel a little relieved is that their enemies are not much better than them. On the contrary, the situation of the Austrians is also very bad.

With the few reserves in Alexandria, the Austrian army is struggling to support it. Although it is more dominant in strength, Maximian is well aware that because Alexandria does not have enough supplies, his army is facing the possibility of suffering. The danger of being hungry.

In addition, what made the emperor uneasy was that several successive battles with the French made him taste the power of French artillery. The Austrian army is now filled with a sense of fear of French artillery, which makes his army always attack when attacking. It was withdrawn, and many troops used to try to avoid the French artillery position, but the enemy was clearly cunning. The French placed the artillery almost at the center of the entire French position, so that they could put the artillery as soon as possible. The transfer to various parts of the line of defense, although this may delay some time, but the French insisted on using those weapons intensively.

Judging from the results of the battle, the French's decision was correct. When dozens of artillery fired shells at the same time, the deterrence caused by the instantaneous huge destruction was even more terrible than the casualties they caused. The Austrians More than one army has completely collapsed in the first round of shelling, and this fear is spreading throughout the army, which makes Maximian feel that his superiority in strength has disappeared.

But these are not the most terrible and most desperate. No one knows when this struggle in the ice and snow will end.

Even the Swiss, who are known for their strict discipline, can't stand it anymore. Their captain found the emperor's people hoping to pass on their request for the winter camp to the emperor, but this request was not communicated to Maximian, because France Suddenly, the person took the initiative to attack.

In fact, on this battlefield that is almost field-based, it makes no difference who launched the attack first. When he heard that the French had killed, Maximian could n’t help but even relieved. He knew that if he was ordered to continue to the French The military attack is likely to be opposed by the generals. Now that the French have taken the initiative, this problem will no longer exist.

Louis XII's life was actually not easy. Like Maximian, he sometimes couldn't help but wonder how things might become like this.

When he wanted to come, the competition for Milan was supposed to be after the arrival of spring. Even if the weather in Italy was very warm, it would not be possible to start the offensive again at least until the end of February, but somehow now everyone is involved. During the blind killing in the cold winter, people feel helpless that this winter war is like a frightened crazy horse. No one can stop it from stopping.

According to the previous agreement with Alexander, Louis XII originally planned to use a series of battles to force the Austrians to withdraw from Italy before the arrival of 1500, at least to force them to stop interfering in Rumba, after preventing Maximian from retreating to Milan. First, as for the next agreement with Alexander, then naturally there will no longer exist.

This is also in line with the purpose of Louis XII. Even when he heard Alexander's conditions, he even doubted that Alexander was on his side.

However, after the war began, Louis XII gradually discovered that things were not the same as he imagined, especially although because of the delay of the war, the time period passed the previous time limit, but Louis XII did not expect Alexander ’s reaction to be After entering Lombardy, he first occupied Pavia, the main town of Milan, and then entered Monza.

Discount Louis XII knew that he had no retreat. If he did not want to be attacked by others, he had to defeat the Austrian army before the Montina directly entered the battlefield. Then he could go back and deal with the cheap gombre.

So the French first took the initiative to launch the attack. According to Louis XII ’s intention, he wanted to take advantage of the Austrians ’distance from the Alexandria behind him and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. It is better to directly put Maximian ’s main force Rush to the north of Turin instead of rushing back to Alexandria.

So the French army arranged the advancement route mainly in the south wing of the front line as soon as they launched the attack. This was to hope to cut off the Austrian retreat, and then drove the Austrians to Turin from south to north, as well as to protect them as much as possible. The transportation link between them and Genoa.

Perhaps because Alexander left a defensive force in La Spezia, not far from Genoa, Louis XII always felt that Genoa was not so safe.

The French attack was very rapid and successful. Although it was not suitable for fighting in such cold weather, the French army was obviously higher and clearer than the Austrians.

Taking advantage of the fine weather, a large number of French troops held weapons and stepped on the snow mouth to spit out a lot of breath. Although they were not fast, they launched an attack on the Austrian camp neatly, but because they were originally planning to attack, Almost no fortifications were built in front of the Austrian military camp.

Therefore, when the French army appeared in less than one-third of the Fari in front of the Austrian army camp, the Austrian army had also lined up to wait, and the battle after a snow storm began.

When Kotzach hurried back to the Austrian camp, the battle between the two armies had just come to an end, or it should be said that the Austrian had just been hit by the French.

Looking at panic-stricken soldiers or at a loss, soldiers in Kotschah let the entourage drive directly through the retired teams in a carriage, although this caused a lot of dissatisfaction, but looked at the carriage ’s The armor on the guard, the soldiers also knew what the big man in the car should be.

Kotzach was anxious. He worried that Maximian would make impulsive decisions before he came back. For example, the following order to attack Milan would be a temporary truce with Louis XII. If that happens, then nothing will happen. Imagine.

So although I now see that the Austrian army seems to have lost the battle, at least they are differently worried that what he is most worried about will happen, which makes Gong Xiang relieved.

It was only soon that Kottschacher found that he was a little too relieved, because the French did not mean to stay in the next place, but after the first defeat of the Austrian troops in the south wing, braved the bitter cold. The north wind continued to attack the camp where the emperor was located in a forest not far behind the Austrian army.

Maximian, who had been annoyed by the defeat, realized the threat. He did not understand why the French did not stop after winning as they did in the past. Instead, they continued to kill them, but he was obviously against France. The captives were not interested, so the emperor immediately ordered the camp to move, and at the same time he ordered the reorganization of the army, ready to see the French again.

Kotzach returned to the Austrian army camp at this time. As a result, Miyazaki had no time to report the result of the trip to Pavia to the emperor, and had to retreat northward with the emperor's guard.

And behind them, about a mile away, the French hurriedly drove the Austrians to the non-stop escape under the command of the French army commander Count Langserge .

In January 1500, beginning with the French defeating the Austrian army for the third time near Mede, the war between France and Austria entered a new era with the aim of defeating and killing the enemy, rather than occupying cities that had been formed over the years. stage.

When France and Austria opened a new chapter for the purpose of war, Schell also ushered in a major moment in his life. He finally met the legendary near-universal imperial official, court chief, and earl master Beside yourself, the legendary Moorish Uliu.

When the old man saw Uliu's happy and satisfied smile, he even reached out and hugged him, calling him "my good friend", Shell was somewhat jealous.

He had heard too many legends about the director, but the one that impressed Schell the most was that it seemed that the emperor ’s former officer had eaten well with the old ladies, and he was always able to swim around with those women. He was smart enough to keep himself from getting into trouble, and it was said that even the lady Lucrezia, who heard that it was very difficult to serve, had a reasonable attitude towards Uliu.

Of course, Shear would not think that this included Her Royal Highness, because according to some gossip, Her Royal Highness seemed to be in conflict with all the men of the Earl, because she had been conspired by those people to get rid of him. Uliu seems to be one of the masterminds.

All these legends made Schell have a strong curiosity about Uliu, so he wanted to see this legendary servant very much.

It was just that Shell did not expect that the director who was considered by many people to be the same as Aufrei, the agent of the Alexander army and the court, looked like a shy young man.

In front of Alexander, Uliu was very respectful, and he always stood there slightly when answering the count ’s question, responding cautiously and humbly, without showing the slightest arrogance and arrogance for those things he did before .

Schell immediately felt that he had learned something, which gave him a deeper impression of the manager, but he always seemed to understand the things that the two men said, which made the Balkans jealous. I also feel that I may not be able to catch up with the master in my life and I am a bit frustrated.

"Ludovico's attitude is not firm," Uliu reminded Alexander, who was silently meditating after listening to his statement on his trip to Milan, "You know that I have seen this person before," Uliu said when he nodded. Then he said, "But I will see him again this time. I think he is different from before. He used to be ambitious and incapable, but at least at that time he was still brave even if he was stupid, but now Ludovico sees Going up is like a broken house that will collapse at any time, I mean ... "

"I understand what you mean." Alexander gently waved his hand to stop Uliu's explanation.

Alexander knew that Uliu's description of that person was correct. Ludwico had introduced Charles VIII to Italy but was betrayed by the French, and he was severely hit because of this. Ludwig was later in the anti-French war. Ke became the most active and extreme one in the anti-French sacred alliance. He even had to borrow money everywhere to form an army and the French died. Although Ludvik at that time was the culprit that triggered the French invasion, at least then He is still very active and has great confidence in beating the French.

But this time, the army formed by Huaxueben was completely maimed, and he was driven out of Milan like a dog by the French for generations, which gave Ludvik a fatal blow and completely smashed him. Confidence.

The Ludovico in history was restored by Maximian for a short period of time, and it was not long before the French were driven out of Milan again. Soon afterwards, they were sent to the French prisoners and imprisoned, and there was no chance to return to Milan again until they died.

Such Ludvik, as Uliu said, is like a broken house that will collapse at any time, because the inner pillar that supports his faith has collapsed.

But this time things were a bit different from history. The two countries of France did not avoid each other even though they had fought in war as they did in history. Even Milan was captured again, Ludvik was captured by France, and the Austrians did not do much. reaction.

This time, the two countries had a fierce battle even before they approached Milan. Especially today, they have fought a fierce battle in the cold.

"Ludvik is willing to accept your peace talks. In addition, he hopes that you will become an important arbitrator in this negotiation." Uliu's tone is slightly agitated. "He hopes to use the Lombard Iron Crown in exchange for your arbitrator and Lombardy has made a security pledge of collateral and hopes that you can get your support whenever Milan is in danger. "

Alexander listened carefully, then he stood up and walked in front of Uliu, reached out and hugged him gently, and while patting Uliu's back, Alexander whispered: "Good job, Uliu."

As Alexander let go, Uliu bent down and bowed: "Sir, when will you go to Monza?"

Hearing Monza, even Xieer, who was not very clear on the side, couldn't help but warm his heart, his eyes flashing with excitement.

The great significance of the Lombard iron crown preserved in the cathedral of Monza is undoubtedly in the minds of people of this era. When she thought that the iron crown would actually be owned by her master, Schell could not help but tremble with excitement. stand up.

"Aufrei is already there." Alexander said casually, listening to Uliu's black face with an inexplicable expression. "But lord, that is the iron crown of Lombardy." Alexander seemed to wake up suddenly. It looked like "Oh" and said, "Then you can run again and try to help me bring the iron crown back."

Uliu bowed and nodded a little, then suddenly realized what Alexander said: "Master, you mean let me go to Monza?"

"Yes," Alexander turned to look at the various books and materials on the tall bookshelf that surrounded the wall around the room, which seemed impossible to read in a lifetime. He was a little excited and said, "I have more important things in Pavia. To do, do you know Uliu, although I knew from the beginning that there will be a lot of gains, but in fact the results of this trip to Lombardy are far beyond my imagination, but this library is enough to make me willing In exchange for the price of 2 regiments, I have already thought about setting up a special institution to deal with university and education affairs when I return to Pisa. By then, maybe all of you will become busier. "

Looking at Uliu's excited expression, Uliu couldn't help but look back at the bookshelves around him, and then said in a slightly sad tone: "I saw such a place many years ago."

"Is it in the East?" Alexander asked suddenly.

Uliu hesitated, then bowed and nodded: "Yes, my old master, in the hometown of the distinguished Grand Vizier, I have seen this kind of scene, but unfortunately later everything belongs to others. Yes. UU reading books www.uukanshu.com "

"Bayesett." Alexander whispered, seeing Uliu's dark face suddenly twitched slightly, and Alexander slowly sat back in the chair. "Uliu, I might be going after things are done here. Castile. "

Uliu's expression was instantly revived. Although he knew something vaguely from a long time ago, this was the first time Alexander had officially mentioned the topic about Iberia with him.

"Master, I will always follow you ..." Uliu said respectfully.

"No," Alexander raised his hand to stop Uliou's words. "I'm thinking maybe you should go home."

"Come back home?"

Uliu was a little at a loss. For the place where he was, he had gradually become accustomed to Montina, Pisa, Florence, and even the Marino Palace in Rome, but Alexander obviously said not these places.

"I mean the East, your real home," Alexander looked at Uliou. "You should already know where Mrs. Connie went. She is now working hard in the East alone, and I don't trust her, so I I want to send you there to help her, knowing that what she is doing now is a major event that may be able to impress the future of the Ottoman Empire. "

Uliu silently saluted Alexander. He already knew what the master asked him to do.

Although this is indeed a very difficult task, the thought of going back to the east makes Wuliu's heart violently excited.

In mid-January 1500, the head of Montina, the former official of the Pisa court, Uliu arrived at Monza. In the dumbfounded and disappointed Bishop of Monza and the churches, Uliu announced Monti as an agent of Alexander Earl Na is the protector of the Iron Crown of Lombardy.

At this point, Alexander's trip to Lombardy was beginning to bear fruit.
