Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

In a plain not too far from the ancient city of San Gilignano, the Venetian army established a relatively strong, but not strong, line of defense. The Ferrara guarded the line with them.

The Constantine, the Duke of Ferrara who had hurriedly arrived from Rome, the Venetians maintained at least respect, but that was only the case. For him, the Venetians are more far away.

Constantine took over the Pope after Caesar's death, making his relationship with the Principality of Rome Thetes became quite subtle. Although everyone knows that there is an old Rovere behind him, as the most likely to be the next Pope The candidate, the Venetian, would naturally not publicly associate Constantine with Old Rovere.

But this is enough for the Venetian to be more careful with him.

It now appears that the rise of the Principality of Rome Thesia appears to be a fait accompli, at least for a long period of time that can be foreseen, this emerging principality, as a force on the Italian peninsula, cannot be ignored, not just in Apennines, even in the entirety Europe has also attracted a lot of attention.

Therefore, in order to have a good relationship with Roma Thesia, it is not appropriate to walk with Constantine too close.

This time, the Venetian sent about 7,500 soldiers. This elite group consisting of a group of Venetian citizens and most of them composed of mercenaries entered the battlefield under the leadership of a prestigious Venetian general, but They did not join in directly from the beginning, but began to become serious when the situation was almost clear.

This kind of behavior made the Naples somewhat dissatisfied, so when their messengers came to the Naples barracks to meet the queen, they could be imagined by the cold treatment.

But the Venetian messengers did not care about the indifference they encountered because, as far as they knew, the Pharaoh had sent people to negotiate with the Queen of Naples, so that the Venetian realized that if they did not think about it as soon as possible, they might not get much benefit.

For the Venetians' robbery, Ruosha also expressed dissatisfaction but still made people noticeable dissatisfaction, but as the Venetian messengers said, the next war requires the Venetians.

Like many city-states, in addition to commanding troops on the battlefield, Venice generals are often politicians once they return to the country, so the Venice generals quickly grasped the key to the situation facing the Naples.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to explain to you your current situation," the messenger said confidently. "Our army has arrived, and the Austrians have also gone south, and your army has paid a lot in the previous battle with the French. Casualties, we all know that the emperor had great ambitions for Rome. Do you think Maximian would easily let go of this land in this situation? "

"We can still fight, whether it is the French, the emperor, or even your Venetians, Roma Thesia will firmly defend their rights, and as an alliance, Naples has no other choice."

Zuosha's answer was firm and decisive, but she was somewhat reluctant to face the frustration. Although she disguised her well, the messenger still keenly sensed the kind of exhaustion that the queen was almost unable to support.

This fatigue is not only from the physical and mental pressure, which makes the messenger guess that the queen's seemingly firm appearance is actually facing the daze and anxiety that may collapse at any time.

"I think you misunderstood. Venice is the most loyal friend of Rome Theseil and Naples. We will not do anything contrary to the alliance, but I also ask you to give due consideration to Venice in this war. We believe that negotiations with France should be more cautious, because this will inevitably involve everyone's interests. "

The purpose of the Venetian messenger's last bare-bones seems to have relieved the originally nervous Zuosha a little bit. Obviously, if it is just to divide the benefits, although it still makes people unwilling, at least it will face new enemies than the war is not over. Much better.

Such a result is that Lu Shao did not immediately agree with the Venetians ’requirement to occupy an important position in the negotiations, but she did not firmly oppose it.

And in the surrounded French camp, French King Louis looked at the slices of brown bread and a little pickled cucumber in front of the chef silently.

This is the king ’s dinner, no wine, no bacon, not even a little sweet sauce as a seasoning, in fact, even the food was found by the chef with a lot of effort.

After several consecutive retreats defeated, almost all the heavy French troops lost their food.

"How much do our soldiers have to eat?" Louis XII asked the people around him and saw that they were speechless. The Pharaoh put the picked piece of bread in his hand and gently put it back on the plate.

"What are the conditions?" Louis asked, looking up at Charlene. After listening to the negotiation with the Neapolitans before, he didn't even hear it because of his anger. Now he seems to want to continue listening. "Say it all. Let me see how much more I can redeem for myself. "

"In addition to the previous requirements, there is a requirement to open a total of 12 coastal ports including Marseille, Toulon, Brest, Le Havre, and Montreuil to the trade union, and Allowing the trade union to exercise business rights in our country, in addition, "Charalon glanced at the king." They demanded that the border north of Palma be used to ensure the security of the Principality of Rome Theseia, and the queen offered to sign a three-year agreement with our country. Truce agreement. "

"Three-year truce agreement?" The Pharaoh looked. "Does the woman think that she can stop worrying about threats from France after three years, or does she really think I will abide by such an agreement?"

Was so blatantly expressing the attitude of the French King that he had planned to breach the contract before the agreement was signed. Charlene just listened in silence. This was indeed not decided by him, but he felt that the king seemed a little too optimistic.

"Please excuse your majesty, the queen obviously thought of this too, so she put forward an additional condition."

"What is she going to do?" Louis's expression changed slightly.

"She proposed that from the time of signing the contract, France must pay the two countries the same amount of copper capable of manufacturing 5 artillery pieces each month, and must immediately dismantle and destroy all the items located west of the Tanaro River to Nice after the agreement was signed. The artillery of the French fortress. "

"That woman, is she crazy, this Salope, this ..."

Louis XII, who had always been known for his good temper and anger, was furious in the jaws of people around him. He slapped his thighs angrily, and issued a series of curses with Orleans-specific accents in his mouth.

"She is humiliating me, humiliating your monarch, does she say that I think I will believe her lies," Louis growled loudly at everyone around him "If I agree to these conditions, maybe not wait When I return to France, I will be overthrown. Even if my people are willing to forgive me, what is waiting for France will only be ruthlessly dismembered. "

Louis said that he was circling back and forth in the same place. He sometimes stopped to stare at Charlene with terrible eyes, as if he was a traitor colluding with the enemy.

But in the end, he just sat down and murmured with a painful forehead in his hand: "I will write in history because I became the first king to sign this agreement of humiliation and humiliation, no, I can't do that, go tell Our enemies let them attack, and I ca n’t be the ridiculous lost king of England. Even if I die, I will retain the dignity that a French king deserves. "

Everyone looked at each other for a while, not knowing how to speak for a while, the atmosphere in the tent was indescribably depressed.

Someone outside was talking in a whisper, and then an attendant walked in carefully and retreated immediately after whispering in the ear of Charlene.

Charlene's eyes narrowed slightly. He seemed to be playing with the news he had just heard. He didn't step forward until he saw the king looking at him: "Your Majesty, Bowwicken's army is crossing the Arno River. Later surrounded by Pisa and Venetians. "

"Oh, this is really good news," Louis laughed at himself. "It seems that if I want to keep the French army, I can only promise them these conditions, but if I don't agree, they can also be eliminated by We got what we wanted, so I was destined to be the most famous king in French history. "

"Your Majesty, this may be good news," Charlene continued. "Because the person who came to report said that it seems that our enemies do not intend to really stop Bowwicken."

Louis holding his forehead slowly lowered his head. He stood up and began to pace slowly. The expression on his slightly longer face could not be changed, and he seemed to be troubled by some puzzles.

Then he stopped and looked at Charlene: "Do you think they intend to wipe us out together, or do you have other ideas?"

"Your Majesty, I think maybe they want to negotiate with us, I mean with all of them."

Charlene ’s words gave the already desperate smile on the face of the Dharma King. He began to circle again, and this time around the chair, Louis said after turning two circles: "It seems I still need you to deal with them, go to the Venetians, and talk to them before the Austrians have mixed them in. As for the Neapolitans, I will send someone to delay them. "

Charlene immediately took his orders. He knew that there would be a series of troublesome and difficult good offices waiting for him, but this was at least a good thing, because it meant that the war was being dragged into one for various reasons. A stage entirely determined by factors outside the battlefield.

Naples and Roma Thesia's advantage on the battlefield will gradually disappear in the intricate diplomatic web.

Walked outside the tent and looked up at the sky. The sun was still hot. He wondered if he should prepare some cool clothes for himself, because it would be really hard next.

The visit of the emissary of Venice seemed to make the Queen ’s mood very bad, which obviously affected the mood of the generals of the Naples army, and the joy of winning a full victory seemed to be diluted, even when someone came When reporting to the Queen that the French were secretly negotiating with the Venetians, many people were worried that the Queen might make excessive moves because of her anger.

After all, no one can bear this kind of shock that has clearly caught the fruits of victory, but may be taken away by a third party who suddenly appears next to him. Then the anger and even the crazy behavior can be understood.

One of the most worrying is Skop. When he heard that the French were secretly hooking up with the Venetians, there was a crazy thought in Skop's head. He wanted to encourage the queen to attack the French and destroy the French. Negotiations with other countries.

It's just that Scobo also knew that the cost of doing so was great, and it was unclear whether Ruosha would be daring to that point.

Especially after the Venice ambassador left, Ruosha shut herself in the room, which made people more worried about the queen.

Everyone became cautious. In addition to the army of unknown truth, they were also immersed in the joy after the victory. Even some guard soldiers around the queen knew that it was best not to provoke his majesty at this time.

Skop found Laura's waitress. He wanted to inquire with the queen's cronies about Laura's situation. After all, the status of Duke Palma was important to him, but more importantly, he now Already tightly tied with Roma Thesia, no matter what the situation will develop to next, it will inevitably have a huge impact on him, even affecting his destiny.

But he was disappointed that the waitress ’s mouth was very strict. Even though he promised enough attractive benefits, he still did not hear anything useful.

But the waitress, looking at the emerald necklace, revealed that before leaving, Skop was a little baffled: "Your Majesty's appetite is good, she drank some kind of rum last night. About something? "

Many people think that Ruosha is angry, even Ruosha herself feels that she is really angry in front of others.

However, when she closed the door and lay comfortably in the bath, drinking the rum sent by the waitress, her skin was hot like cooked shrimp and hot water and the feeling of drunk after drinking, let the ruo Sha was so comfortable that she didn't even want to move her fingers.

The smoke from the gap in the window with the thick curtains brushed over Shaosa ’s smooth skin, leaning her head slightly on the pillow edge of the bathtub in the back of her head, feeling the drowsy dizziness, Ruosha remembered some of the details of life that Alexander had said to her, although it sounded simple, but quite enjoyable.

This is probably the case now, Ruosha asked in her heart, and a slightly hot anxiety struck her with a hot face, and she knew she wanted Alexander.

I don't know how long after that, the water in the bathtub has been a little cold. Luo Sha crawled out of the bathtub lazily, put on a soft silk robe, and walked to the bed to sit cross-legged.

Two smooth and healthy thighs propped up from the hem of the robe, and the gem-like knee was still sliding with water droplets that were not wiped clean.

Luosha turned around and looked in a mirror standing in the corner, then smiled with satisfaction.

Although the bohemian wild girl has an exaggerated figure, she is far from Wallachia after all.

Lucrezia, the woman who only serves men may be a threat, but she is too stupid after all.

And Balendi ...

Luosha thought and finally shook her head.

She is too familiar with her brother. Barenti may be a good wife, a duchess, and a qualified assistant, but because of these advantages, she is destined not to be a woman who can make Alexander want to stop.

"Still youngest sister."

Zuosha smiled a little proudly, and then moved a small writing table from the side, took out the pen and ink from the dark grid, and began writing letters after a little deep thought.

"Dear brother, when you receive this letter, maybe what happened in Rome has completely come to an end. The role we played in this drama is so perfect, and it all comes from your prior arrangement. , So allow me to express my heartfelt gratitude and heartfelt admiration to you before speaking about the business, but this is the gratitude of Queen Naples, and as your only lovely sister, I just want to say that I am proud of you. "

羬 莎 stopped here and looked at this beginning, then nodded as if boasting of satisfaction, and then wrote it down.

"As you said before, any strategic goal has a boundary. A huge goal that is too greedy will often fail because of its own lack of power. It may even burn the victory that has been achieved before, and what we have set so far The goal has been roughly completed, and we can probably obtain the most important results as follows. The Principality of Rome Thesia has passed the test that will be experienced after its establishment. The results so far have been enough to make those strong neighbors dare not covet. The Battle of Granville has given Principality Asia a foothold for the time being, which is enough to bring peace to your country for a while, and for me, I hope Uncle Modillo ’s long-cherished wish can be realized. For the reunification of Sicily, I Not as confident as now, and all this is your credit ... "

"For the French, while weakening the strength of this strong enemy to the greatest extent, we should indeed consider the important role that France has played in the containment of other countries ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Fortunately, the Venetians ca n’t wait any longer, they Sending people to threaten them, even suggesting that they may form an alliance with the French when necessary. Obviously our strength has caused their uneasiness, but this is what we need. The addition of Venice and the Austrians will make the French more difficult. Oops, but in this way, they will also inevitably fall into this quagmire for Lombard,

My brother, you probably ca n’t imagine the eagerness when I expected the Venetian to send the messenger, but I even worried if the Venetian would be too brave to reach us because of the bravery of our army. Their greed has helped us a lot, but you probably ca n’t imagine how hard it is for me to perform extremely complex performances in the face of their so-called threats while trying to hide the joy in my heart. I think I am a natural actor, maybe even one day if we fall down, I and you can also form a troupe to perform wandering around, I believe we must be more popular than the bohemian woman ... "

Ruosha stopped here. She gently brushed her chin with the silky feathers of a quill pen. After thinking for a while, she wrote a little lonely: "I miss your brother, how is your place, no I know what method I can use to help you. If you want, I can even share my crown, just like everything including myself belongs to you, but now I only hope that you can come back to me safely, quickly Come back, brother, because there will be a good show next, and I have already reserved the best seat for us. "
