Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

A team of cavalry galloped along the mountain road. This is a road very familiar to this army. Many of them have already traveled before, while others were born in this place.

Cagnola's spring seems to be coming later, although it is already March, but Alexander still feels the uncomfortable wind-chilling blown in from his collar.

Before leaving Montina, Alexandria once again arranged a new job for Ulliu. He asked the Moors to be the sole director of his wedding. Although this was originally a natural thing, Alexander specifically proposed it because he needed to leave. a period of time.

Counting days, Sophia is not far from labor, which makes Alexander a little worried, he hopes to be with Sophia when she is giving birth, because he and their mother and son are destined to have a long time to separate for a long time, maybe he will miss There are many important and meaningful moments in the growth of the child, so he does not want to miss the time when his child came to this world.

Balenti felt a strong sense of anxiety about Alexander going to the Balkans before their wedding.

The thought of that bohemian wild girl's presently distinguished identity, and that she was about to add another son to Alexander, Barenti fell into a deep turmoil.

The Grand Duchess of Wallachia and the Duke of Romagna-Tuscany, no matter the status of the two parties or the combination due to the interests of the trade union, there seems to be no more suitable than this, even even Lucrezia seems to be in this regard. It is also slightly inferior, which makes it more difficult for Barendi to accept.

So when Alexander made the request, Barendi immediately became excited. She was not at all like the Countess Montina who could calmly order her own uncle to be executed, but refuted aloud like a jealous wife, and then In a pleading tone, he tried to dissuade Alexander from going to Wallachia.

"I will come back, just before our wedding, I assure you." Alexander embraced Barenti's body to comfort her. "I must watch my baby born, I know it is unfair to you , But I will regret it for a lifetime if you miss this, and you know, I did this to declare my patriarchal rights to the future heirs of Wallachia, you should be very clear what this means for us, right? "

This explanation calmed Barenti somewhat, and she soon realized clearly that what Alexander said was indeed true.

Wallachia is now the source of troops for the Principality of Roma Tessia. The strong and brave and low cost performance of Balkan soldiers has saved them a considerable amount of money, and the money seems to be lacking for all places today. It is too important for the Principality that is about to suffocate.

Only this is enough to allow them to do their utmost to maintain relations with Wallachia, and this is only one of them. As the free trade union ’s tentacles deepen into the Balkans, the merchants who are occupying the eastern European market It seems to have seen huge sweets rushing at them.

Especially here because of years of war and prince separatism, and even the chaotic currency in the market, there is no unified currency at all, which makes everyone including the Vatican seem to see a piece of fat has been placed on the plate Reached in front of myself.

The merchants who waved the Ladia gold coins waved to the east like a tide, even if it was not very flat, compared with the foreseeable huge return, no danger could stop these adventurers who chase wealth.

All of this has a premise, that is, Alexander needs to have enough influence in the Balkans.

In addition to these, there is another important reason, the copper mines in Hungary.

Barendi knows how much wealth the Hungarian copper mine has brought them so far, and how important it will be in the future, all of which let her know that Alexander's words are right.

In order to benefit the Balkans and the East, Wallachia must be firmly controlled, or the direct point is to firmly control Sophia and her future children.

Balendi, who thought of these, took a deep breath and suppressed the strange sourness in his heart, trying to say in a calm tone: "Then you promised that I must come back before the wedding, don't forget that this is the same for us the most important."

"Of course, just as I promised you, now I will give you another promise," Alexander said, walking to the window and looking at the busy workers below. "I will come back on schedule, just before our wedding is ready." , Then I will personally wear you the crown of the Duchess of Roma Tesia. "

Alexander's promise made Barenti feel slightly relieved, although she was still a little uneasy, but she also knew that Alexander's trip to the Balkans was already imperative.

Fortunately, the other good news gave her some comfort. Ruosha sent someone to send her a letter. She had decided to go to Montina to attend Alexander's wedding, and she would set off soon after preparation.

For this trip to the Balkans, Alexander was thoughtful, and his uninterrupted contacts with the Balkans gave him some understanding of the current situation in the Balkans, which is why he insisted on visiting Sophia before the wedding. The reason for the opportunity to tour the Balkans.

Whether admitted or not, the battle of Bucharest made Alexander not only a hero against Ottomans, but also let his forces infiltrate the Balkans.

Relations with Wallachia, support for the monarchs of Croatia and Northern Bosnia, and the impact on southern Hungary derived from the acquisition of the right to mine the Hungarian copper mine from the king of Bohemia, Ladislas II .

All this has created a huge interest link between him and the Balkans, which makes him have to pay attention to the situation in the Balkans.

Originally, a long way could be left from the sea. After the defeat of Bayesert II, many ports along the Balkans have been taken back by the countries. Now the Ottomans ’power in the Balkans has contracted the most since the Battle of Varna in 1444. Once, even some areas that had been occupied since the time of Mohammed II were forced to give up because of the bad situation, which made the Balkan nations emotional for a time, and some simply proposed to fight like the Iberian Peninsula. war.

It ’s just that the failure of the Venetians at sea has poured cold water on the Balkans. As the Aegean Sea is almost completely occupied by the Ottomans, the Mediterranean coast of the Balkans has been threatened unprecedentedly, and some places are even more worried about the Ottomans. Landing and invading, simply gave up some inconvenient defense areas along the coast, the army has shrunk to the cities in various places, be prepared to guard against threats that may come from the sea at any time.

What many people did not expect was that shortly after the coalition achieved a crucial victory under the city of Bucharest, the Grand Duke Stefan, who was well-known in Europe for fighting Ottomans in Moldova, suddenly announced a truce with the Ottomans, and then announced that Ottomans were allowed. The fleet has free access to the coastal zone.

This completely exposed the entire Balkan coast to the Ottoman Navy.

As a result, Alexandria had to start from the land again and proceed to Wallachia along the road from the last expedition to the Balkans.

Before leaving, Alexandria also assigned tasks to others, and this time he clearly told Ofrei and Gompati that for Lombardy, their only task was to "defend."

"Don't make it easy, even if someone provokes us."

The order of Alexander made O'Fleuis somewhat surprised. According to his understanding of Alexander's first serial movement in Lombard, he thought that the Duke should have great ambitions for Lombardy, but now this order makes him feel quite not. solution.

"We need to calm down. You must admit that our expansion has caused many people to worry. If we continue to expand at this time, it will cause unnecessary trouble, so it is time to temporarily calm down," Alexander in the dome. To the people who were deliberately recalled, I told you, "What I want you to do now is not to show everyone the threats we might bring to them, but to let them know that we are their good neighbors, because for a long time to come We must guarantee the stability of the Principality of Roma Tesia. "

"As for the threat that the war in Lombardy may pose to the northern border of the principality, you don't need to worry about it, because soon the French will have a more headache opponent, and then they will certainly not care about us." Alexander finally So the men who still have some concerns about it explain: "The British will not allow Louis XII to become the most powerful monarch in continental Europe. Even if Ferdinand did not ask them to participate in the war, they will eventually choose to participate in the war, so this The longer the time of a war, the more intense the fighting will be for us, at least for this period of time now. "

This is the first time that Alexander has explained his views on this Italian war to his people in such detail. This is of course because he is going to the Balkans, and he needs everyone to be able to do according to his arrangements during this time. An important reason is that with the establishment of the Principality of Romagna-Tuscany, neither he nor his court can obviously no longer respond to the current situation in the same way as before, so he must make his subordinates very clear Understand the purpose of his diplomacy and internal affairs, and can no longer deal with everything in the moment as an ordinary military prince.

The Principality of Romagna-Tuscany is still very young, and it can even be said that it is just a baby who has just begun to learn. Just like his daughter Estelles, this Principality is actually still in front of this complex and changeable world. It is very fragile and needs to be taken care of.

Grand Duke Carniola ’s visit to Alexandria was quite enthusiastic. In fact, he was a little troubled during this time. Duke of Zagreb, with the support of Hungary and Wallachia, was successfully elected as King of Croatia and Northern Bosnia, and just a month after ascending the throne, Hurva made a territorial claim on the eastern border to Cagnola, which caused tension between the bordering Cagnola and Croatia for a time.

Faced with the strong and powerful Hurva, Grand Duke Karl was a little worried. He had to ask Hungary to mediate from it, but now Ladislas II has just gotten rid of the shadow of the Ottoman invasion, although it is against Hurva The exposed ambitions were a bit wary, but for a while I had not made up my mind whether to intervene in this matter.

The arrival of Alexander gave Duke Carl the hope. He first sent a messenger to greet him, and then he personally departed from Ljubljana to greet Alexander's team.

Regarding the attentiveness of Grand Duke Karl, Alexander Nature understood the reason. Hurva's rashness of ambition showed him some surprises, but he did not make him feel threatened.

At least Helva did not dare to show his ambitions to Wallachia, and Alexander did not want to get caught in these local disputes in the Balkans because of his hasty schedule.

So he didn't respond to Duke Karl's deliberate gestures and hints. This somewhat disappointed Karl, but he also understood that Alexander probably had no reason to be in a mood right now.

Counting the time, Sophia's pregnancy is indeed very near.

Alexander, who stayed in Ljubljana for only one day, set off again immediately, and this time his next stop was Croatian capital Zagreb.

On the third day of Alexander's departure, the Queen of Naples, Reza, Kosenza came to Montina.

Barondi showed unusual enthusiasm for the arrival of Ruosha. She was well aware of the influence of the Queen of Naples on Alexander, and she even knew that in a sense she could become Alexander ’s wife. When it comes to a very important role, after all, whether it is Lucrezia or Sophia, it seems that it is more suitable for her to become the Duchess of Rome Tesia than she is. It is because of this that Barendi is more grateful and valued the important role that Lasa finally played. effect.

Balendi personally welcomed Ruosha into the castle, and then accompanied her attentively to visit everything that Luosha hoped to see. When they were alone, Barenti took Ruosha's hand with gratitude and intimacy. The tone said: "I really don't know how to express gratitude to you. You probably won't think of my mood in those days. When everyone is happy for the Duke of Alexander Jinfeng, I only feel panic, yes, I am afraid, Because I found myself unable to keep up with Alexander's pace, this feeling has never been before but this time it is true. "

Ruosha listened carefully, her expression was calm and focused, and she looked like a little aunt who was full of respect for her sister-in-law, but when she heard Barrondi's words, there was a hint of play in her eyes, and she reached out for Balendi stroked a strand of hair that fell to the forehead, then looked at her carefully, and said in a slightly more inquiring tone: "This is not like your sister-in-law, you should be calmer and sane, isn't it because of this A marriage may fail and disappoint you, but you should n’t appear to suffer from it. ”

"It used to be that way, but now I don't know. I started to worry about what would happen if I couldn't marry Alexander. I didn't even dare to think about this happening," Balendi closed his eyes slightly, then opened. Looking up at the roof, the shoulders collapsed slightly. "I think I'm used to the status of Countess Montina, so if I lose this status, I will feel that everything before me is meaningless."

Listening to Barendi's words, Ruosha's indifferent hand was drawn from Barendi's hand. She sat straight and thought for a while, and then said, "In fact, I did consider Lucrezia and Sophia, and they did. More suitable for becoming the Duchess of Roma Tesia. "

Seeing Barendi's expression on her face, Ruosha continued unmoved: "But do you know why I will eventually think you are more suitable to be my brother's wife, because you are a calm and sensible woman, You will not get married because of love, but only because of the combination of interests, so even if you become the hostess of the future Principality of Romagna-Tuscany, it will help my brother to rule his Principality and family rather than just for himself His willfulness caused him more trouble ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ But now I'm a little worried about whether this choice is correct, because I find that you seem to care no longer these but my brother, this is not a Good sign. ”At this point, Ruosha leaned forward and whispered close to Barenti in her ear," Remember, you are the Duchess of Roma Tesia, but only the Duchess, you can enjoy this status for you All the privileges and honors brought will also allow your child to inherit this Principality in the future. But, "Speaking of this, Luo Sha stopped and looked slightly at Barendi's eyes in front of her. "You have to remember that my brother is mine, whether it is Lucrezia, you, or that Bohemian woman, you can get a crown from him, but there are only these. Do n’t you want more of you, Alexander will never belong to any of you, because he is destined to belong to me alone. "

Balenti stared blankly at the front. She knew what she had heard, but she couldn't believe whether she had heard what she had imagined.

It wasn't until Rusha slowly stepped back and distanced from her that Barrondi looked at Rusha with incredible eyes, while covering her lips with both hands, forcing herself to re-swallow the screams she was about to make .

Ruo Sha greeted Balendi's gaze carelessly, although she and many of the people around Alexandria either knew or had some guesses, but for the first time admitted that the two were unacceptable to the world. This is the first time.

Seeing Barronti overwhelmed by shock, panic, and even a look of horror flashing in her eyes, Ruo Sha picked up the glass next to her and raised it to her.

"Wish you a happy marriage, dear sister-in-law."
