Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

The Earl of Lanzarge in Brittany was lying in bed, and beside him there were two doctors who were busy, but they were obviously busy, looking at the blackened wound under the rib of the count, but the two were obviously Was at a loss.

No one thought that when the French army slammed the Austrians, Count Langserge, who was the commander of the battlefield, was hit by his own artillery.

This is really a sad story. The French artillery obviously could n’t keep up with the speed of the ordinary soldiers ’attack, or maybe the earl was too far ahead, in short, I do n’t know how, a shell fell on Count Langserge and stood Not far away, the shell shattered a tree, and a splattered branch just hit Count Langserge.

The guards immediately sent the count back to the camp behind to find a doctor for treatment, but looking at the wound under the count's ribs, the only way for the two doctors was to help him pull out the branch after pouring a few bites of spirits. Came out.

But they soon discovered that the earl's wound appeared to be infected, and the edge of the wound with thick water began to rot, and the doctors' method was to bleed the earl that had started to have a fever.

Although it has been suggested many years ago that bloodletting is not a panacea for all diseases, this rugged and violent method is still regarded as the most effective in this era, although some doctors have tried to use herbs Extracting medicine instead of bloodletting, but the unsuccessful results soon made people lose patience.

"Bleed, bleed, and bleed more blood. Only in this way can the illnesses in the body be ruled out," the doctors used a knife to open the ear on the ear of the ear, and then used a silver basin that was only used to see the big men. The blood shed, and Louis XII was anxiously waiting for the result in the next room.

Charles VIII left his successor with a decent France, a wife, and a group of aspiring ministers and generals including Count Langserge.

Louis XII valued Earl Langserge. He knew that he might be a commendable monarch, but he was not a soldier who could command Ruoding on the battlefield, so he gave the army to Earl Langserge. Commander, and the Earl did not live up to his trust. The three victories in Mede proved that the old general was indeed a great general, and more importantly, he was a Brittany noble, which made Louis XII more satisfied .

The problem of Brittany has always plagued the French monarchs. Unlike Burgundy who has always been openly enemies with the royal family, Brittany's methods are more secretive but more destructive. Although France after calming down the bold Charlie As expected, the entire Burgundy was annexed, but at least the threat from this always independent principality was completely resolved.

But the problem of Brittany was still a big hidden problem until the time of Charles VIII.

Earl Langserge ’s loyalty to the king ’s actions at this time showed great significance. It can even be said that the earl has become a benchmark for the loyalty of Brittany following the union of the king and queen. Now looking at this The Earl was seriously injured and his life was dying. Louis XII was naturally anxious.

What's worse, the Earl was hit by the French army's own shells, which attracted too much rumour and suspicion.

Louis XII felt that he was going crazy. He had to find out which **** was hitting the cannon. It must be known that this might cause the Brittany to become extremely hostile to the royal family and even the whole of France.

After all, the Earl of Earl Langserge ’s performance was so good, it is inevitable that the huge reputation that made people guess the Earl ’s rapid rise may make the king feel threatened. This is really an ordinary thing. There is no monarch. Willing to see the reputation of a courtier overwhelming himself, especially a soldier from an unstable principality like Brittany.

The worry of Louis XII is not superfluous. Although his marriage to the Queen proves the integrity of France, there are still some Brittany people who refuse to give up. Louis XII can even think of how those people will now stir up the flames. Even now, some Britons in the army have become restless.

"Do you have to cure the count, do you know," the king put a dirty leather apron on the body that came out of it, rather than a doctor, it was more like a butcher's medical officer shouting orders, but see the medical officer. With a look of embarrassment, he knew that things might be very optimistic. "Tell me can the Earl recover?"

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, this matter is not easy to say. The Count is in a terrible situation now. We are bleeding. Yes, it will be better after bleeding. It's just this matter ..."

Looking at the doctor who was vomiting but didn't have the right words, Louis XII's cheeks were trembling slightly. He could imagine what rumor and turbulence would be caused if the Earl had something unpredictable, at least the victory he had just won on the battlefield might not be guaranteed of.

Louis XII did not despise the Austrians for several consecutive victories. He knew that Maximian ’s army was actually involved in the Italian war again after the defeat of Swabian, and at first the Austrians needed more troops. Less than him, but even Maximian captured Milan, so Louis twelve did not feel complacent because of the victory in front of him, and with the accidental injury of Count Langserge, the French army has already become unstable. Signs, this made Louis have to worry about losing the powerful French army commanded by Count Langserge, whether he could continue to have an advantage in the subsequent battles.

The investigation soon came out, and what made Louis speechless was that there was nothing in the truth about the shelling of Count Langserge that he had guessed before to try to provoke the division of France, but only a few gunners were drunk and indiscriminate after drinking too much. The big catastrophe of blundering.

The gunners had been arrested and were awaiting their punishment of being hanged directly on the gun car without trial, but because of the turmoil and rumors caused by the accidental injury to the earl, Louis XII ordered a public trial and he must Let everyone know that there is no conspiracy in this matter, and it has nothing to do with him.

It's just that people don't want to believe the results of this survey, and Louis can't control it.

For him, the life and death of Count Langserge is now a major event. This is not only related to the situation of the entire French army in Italy, but also to the stability of the domestic political situation.

So Louis XII took the time to write a long letter to the queen. In the letter, he mentioned the various turbulences that the count might cause if he was unpredictable. He will end the war in Italy as soon as possible and return to the domestic stable political situation.

Louis did indeed prepare for this. He ordered the French to stop the offensive. Even the Austrians hurriedly removed the supplies left in Alexandria. He now needed to stabilize the French army.

The French suddenly stopped the attack, which surprised the Austrians. Maximian even thought it was another conspiracy of Louis XII, so he did not relax because the French stopped. Instead, he took the guard and the ministers to the night. Turin retreated, and at the same time ordered the defenders of Alexandria to abandon the city and quickly rejoin the main force with the remaining supplies.

After several consecutive battles, the Austrians suffered a heavy loss. The original strength of the French against the French is no longer obvious. The worst part is that the morale of the successive defeats of the entire army is low.

From the defeat of the Swiss War to being chased by the French, the Leo army suffered for a long time in half a year, which made the entire Austrian army generally immersed in a defeated frustration. In addition to these, the emperor was even more worried about him Salaries that can be paid to Switzerland are running out.

The funds provided by Alexander to Maximian through the Jews have been used up in the past few months. In fact, according to the scale and method of the previous war, the money can still persist for a while, but the continuous fierce battles Allowing supplies to be supplied is much more costly than any previous war, so that money is not enough.

"Your Majesty, it is impossible for us to insist on collecting the autumn tax, or even the summer tax," Kotzach whispered as he watched the worrisome Maximian walking around. "This time Accepting a proposal that is in our favor does not harm your dignity. "

"I don't care about the invisible dignity," the emperor stopped to say to Gong Xiang. "To know that I have encountered too many things that detract from dignity. I was trapped in a friend's house by a group of businessmen. In the month, there is the wife who has been robbed of the already signed marriage contract, so for me, the loss of dignity will only let me remember the shame and then avenge the revenge. I am worried that this may be to let that gombre borrow Taking advantage of Lombardy's excuses, of course we all know that his purpose is this, but even if we can't stop him, we can't be his accomplice. "

Kotszach sighed secretly, he knew that the emperor was right, and that Maximian clearly saw farther, not only did the emperor realize Alexandria ’s ambitions, but also seemed clearer than others, he could already be sure that Alexander It's about taking advantage of Lombardy.

"So you still think we should accept the suggestion of Count Montina?" Maximian I asked, seeing Kozczach's hesitant look, and the emperor's lips stretched slightly "This is me Worrying, what do you think the French will think about this, they may be very happy that the Montina blended in, at least then they will have one less frontal enemy, and the scary thing is that this may just be the beginning. "

Kotzach nodded. The emperor was right. Louis XII wanted to see that the Montina who were supposed to be the Austrian alliance became the so-called third-party forces. This is not just a change in the attitude of the Montina. It can even be the attitude of other countries in the anti-French alliance in the future, they will intervene in Lombardy in a way of separate interveners instead of Austrian allies, which is obviously much more beneficial to Louis XII.

But did not accept Alexander's proposal, considering the embarrassing financial situation of the emperor today, Kotzczah felt that rejection was obviously unrealistic.

And Kotzczah actually knew better than the emperor himself the troubles facing Austria today.

Many chambers of commerce in the German city-state are now more or less in contact with trade unions. Some of these connections are due to business contacts, and some have deep relationships with local nobles.

From the beginning, the free trade zone was not a purely commercial organization, but a variant of political forces that had various interests entangled with lords everywhere.

Since the signing of the contract with the Earl of Taranto, the free trade zone has developed in this way in a seemingly silent way. Those local nobles and lords have become the biggest beneficiaries of the free trade zone, and naturally have become A member of the Free Trade Zone that protects his own interests.

Kotzach can imagine how the German lords would react once they learned that the emperor was in financial crisis.

For them, if they can not only make a lot of money from the emperor, but also use the self-debt problem to threaten the emperor or even offer him concessions to the self-rule of the German city-state, then they are likely not only not to stop, but even There will be a boost in it. By that time, even if Maximian I escaped the embarrassment of bankruptcy, it is likely to fall into the coercion of the city-state lords.

Perhaps Alexander thought of this possibility from the beginning.

This thought disturbed Miyazaki. He did not know whether Alexander had planned all this from the beginning, but the current situation is moving in the direction he is worried about.

"Your Majesty, you have to accept the suggestion of the Earl of Montina," Kotzach felt that things could not be made out of control. Knowing the potential of the free trade zone made him know that he must be stopped before the emperor made a wrong decision. Now we are as tired as we are. Although they have been winning, please do n’t forget that they are fighting in the enemy country. Everyone here is hostile to them. It ’s very hard for them to get a little supply. Because no one is willing to deal with them, winter is cruel to us, and it is also to them, so Your Majesty we only need to persevere to reverse the situation, but if we reject the condition of Count Montina, because of the debt dispute with him What dragged us down would be to push him directly to the French. "

Maximilian listened quietly, and even when he heard the worse news than this, the emperor did not jump like a thunder. As he himself said, he had experienced enough to allow him to calmly treat those who seemed to be calm. At any time, it will become a huge change in the disaster of extinction.

"If we accept his terms, he will become the third person after Louis and I to have a say in Lombard affairs. I think this is the most hoped for Gombray." The emperor pressed his fist hard to express his heart Anger, but then let go of his palm and patted lightly on the table in front of him, "But do I have to accept this condition, is it because of that Gumbre, or because of Sforza?"

Maximian ’s calm face finally slowly overflowed with anger. He stared at Kotszach and said coldly: "Sforza has agreed to accept Gombré ’s mediation. He is a betrayal of the alliance. It is a betrayal to me. "

"Sforza is no longer useful, Your Majesty," Kotzach sighed helplessly as he watched the emperor finally show his anger. "The only thing he wants to do now is to save himself the throne of the Duke of Milan. , So as long as there is a person who promises to help him, he will not hesitate to surrender to the past, so your majesty has no value to you. "

Maximian clenched his fists again and then loosened, and then clenched and loosened again. After a few times, he tilted his head and looked at the palace: "What do you think, the Earl of Montina just wanted to be in Rumba Is there any other intention to develop his influence? "

"At least this seems to be the case now," Kotschah thought and answered, "He has great ambitions, which is absolutely certain, maybe he is not satisfied with being only the master of Romagna and Tuscany, but It now appears that he intervened in Lombardy just to ensure that his rule in those areas would not be violated. "

"Isn't it a substitute of offensive instead of defense? Isn't it really a good idea?" Tszach said, "Write a letter to me in my name, telling him that I am willing to accept his terms, and recognize him as his duke of Romagna and Tuscany ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ But I want He must publicly announce his joining the Holy Alliance against Louis, and I want him to declare that he will not support Ludvik. "

Looking at the emperor's eyes, Kotzczah took a deep breath, then bowed and nodded and turned away.

Only after leaving the emperor's room, with a faint white mist rising, Kotzach slowly spit out the breath that held him,

From Kotszach ’s point of view, Alexander ’s attempt to ensure the safety of the central Roman territory seems to have been achieved by taking the initiative, and the emperor can finally avoid the embarrassment of bankruptcy. The result of all this seems to be perfect, at least It's a great joy.

Just somehow, Gong Xiang always felt that things were not that simple, or that he felt that Alexander had other secrets that were not known.

This is what keeps Kotschah uneasy.

During the fierce battle between the French and Austrian troops and near Alexandria, Montina's army first occupied Pavia and Monza, and then declared themselves the protectors of the Lombard Iron Crown. In the first peace talks, the name of Count Montina resounded throughout the European continent.

However, Alexander did not enter Milan as a victory or a savior in the end, which surprised many people, including Ludovic, who had already accepted his destiny.

After receiving the letter written by Maximian I in Kotschah, Alexander drove everyone away, and then closed the door and turned and laughed. For a quarter of an hour, until he was too tired to climb again, he collapsed in his chair and gasped for a quill.

He has to write letters to many people, because then he really has to be busy.
