Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2301 Infinity (Part 2)

   He held such a public class at the University of Padua, which was about the definition, representation and redefinition of gods and heroes in ancient Greek and Roman religions.

  Many little boys have the dream of being a hero, but what is a hero like?

In Machiavelli's account, Michele de Lando was a groomer, barefoot and barely wearing anything when the commoners started rioting all over the city and burning with arson everywhere Clothes, on that hot summer night, he sweated a lot, like a layer of olive oil.

He climbed the stairs step by step and entered the reception room of the ruling group. At this time, the ruling group had already gone home. The people who had followed him suddenly stopped and stood at the bottom of the stairs. Michele looked back at him. the masses.

   "Look!" Michele said to the crowd, "This city-state is already yours, this city-state is in your hands, what do you think should be done?"

  The crowd said, "We would like to elect you as our righteous standard-bearer and monarch."

So Michele accepted the appointment, and he became the standard-bearer of justice like Salvestro de' Medici, the difference was that Salvestro was chosen in the festive cheers, while Michele became the standard bearer of justice. Gloria was chosen when everyone felt that there was no hope of saving the city-state, and even those who stood firm at the end of the ruling group were evacuated.

Florence at this time was still in the era of the Ricci family, just like the Borgia family, the nemesis of the Medici family. The Ricci family also had a feud with the Albic family. The Medici family was not the protagonist at this time. One can threaten Salvestro to take his place.

   At this time, the Medici family had not yet become the Pope's bankers. Machiavelli believed that the Pope's emissary cut off the food supply to Florence and attacked Florence during the spring plowing. Pope Gregory XI insisted on moving the Holy See back to Rome despite the opposition of some French cardinals in order to protect the papal territory from being invaded by the Visconti family.

  The Visconti family rose in Milan in the 11th century and reached its peak in the 15th century, becoming the Duke of Milan and the Count of Pavia, controlling most of northern Italy. The reign of the Visconti family did not come to an end until Francisco Sforza took the title of duke in 1450.

In the process of the expansion of the Visconti family, the territory of the Papal State was continuously reduced. The Black Death in the 14th century killed nearly half of the population in many cities, except for Milan. The Milanese at that time discovered that there was a patient and immediately The doors and windows of the house were sealed. Later, Venice also used a similar method to isolate the seafarers who arrived in Hong Kong to stay on an island for a period of time before entering the city.

The Visconti family had been in control of Milan for many years, but Milan was not a duchy until 1395 when Giovanni Gallizzo Visconti bought the ducal title of Milan from Wenceslav of Bohemia The duchy is established.

  The region of Bohemia at that time belonged to the Holy Roman Empire, a country ruled by the emperor. In 1378, not only did Gregory XI die, but Galliazzo II, the ruler of Milan, also died. His son, Giovanni Gallizzo Visconti, took over the reign of Milan, but he With Pavia as the capital, it is further south than Milan and closer to Florence, and Milan and Florence did have many wars later.

   Some say that Giovanni Gallizzo's uncle, Bernabo, was a villain who ruled the other half of the Visconti family. Not only did he pay heavy taxes, but he also liked to hunt, forcing farmers to raise 3,000 hunting dogs for him, and allowing the dogs to bite people, the Holy See had repeatedly condemned him.

The emblem of the Visconti family is a snake, which is derived from their original fief, anghiera. Anguis in Latin means snake. This family is good at conspiracy and subversion, mostly maintaining power through negotiation, conspiracy and assassination. Later, Jovan Ni Gallizzo used an assassination to kill his uncle, and then inherited the other half of the family's territory. But the people of this family are not good at leading troops to fight, so they need a lot of mercenaries.

  The Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church had a split in 1054, and Gregorian hoped to reunite them at 1111.

However, after Gregory's death in 1378, the Cardinals were divided. The citizens of Rome were determined to keep the Holy See in Rome. The Cardinals elected an Italian Pope Urban VI under the threat of mass unrest. After he succeeded to the throne, he tried to eliminate the influence of France on the Holy See, which caused the dissatisfaction of the French cardinals. They planned to re-elect a French bishop and return to Avignon, announcing that Urban VI was elected by coercion and his position was invalid. In addition, Cardinal Clement VII of Geneva was elected as the new Pope.

   At this time, during the Hundred Years War between England and France, the kings of various countries recognized the Pope of Rome and the Pope of Avignon respectively according to their political attitudes and relations, while the churches in various places criticized each other and excommunicated each other. At the same time, they also acted according to the attitude of the monarch. It was not until 1409, at the initiative of King Charles VI of France and the University of Paris, that the two cardinal conferences met in Pisa to depose Gregory XII of Rome and Benedict XIII of Avignon at the same time. , and elected Alexander V as the new pope.

   However, Benedict XIII and Gregory XII were supported by some kings, and both refused to abdicate, thus forming a situation of three popes facing each other.

  The history written by the church is different from that of secular writers like Machiavelli. It is often mixed with these astronomical visions or other signs, such as meteors appearing in the sky, or blood spurting from a pool. A great comet appeared in November 1378, but by that time the turmoil in Florence was over, and the woollen worker Michele did not become the monarch of Florence as he had imagined.

And those commoners who originally supported Michele learned that in the city-state he reorganized, they treated the upper classes of the commoners too much, and their share was too small, so they took up arms again, shouting and resolute. Asking the ruling group to go downstairs immediately to consider new measures, Michele did not dare to provoke them, and persuaded them to lay down their weapons before agreeing to make certain concessions to them. After hearing this answer, the crowd was furious and immediately withdrew to the side of the eight commissioners of the church of Santa Maria Novella, and two governments appeared in the city-state. They listed their demands, robbed Salvestro and Michele of the position and salary of the standard-bearer of justice, and sent two more people to the consul, insisting on approval, if not Approval entails the threat of the use of force to achieve it.

Michele could no longer tolerate it. He drew his sword and seriously injured the messenger and threw him in prison. After the news came out, there was an uproar. Then Michele led the citizens. They had calmed down and ran towards Santa Maria Novi. Pull the "enemy".

In the end, the citizens led by Michele won, the riots subsided, and a new ruling group was elected. The election method was decided by lottery. Two of the new ruling group were of common origin, but Salvestro Medici The position of the standard-bearer of justice was not ceded to Michele. The honorable position of the new government was divided into two parts. The high-level and low-level guilds each accounted for half, and the candidates for the standard-bearer of justice took turns.

  In this way, the interior of the city-state temporarily returned to calm, but the threat from outside the city-state came again.

Conspiracy is often like this. There are too few people to make things happen, and it is difficult to keep secrets when there are too many people. Salvestro de' Medici will detect something wrong because he has received a warning in advance. Medici was a civilian at the time. The noble, who could not tolerate the oppression of the commoners by the powerful, gained the sympathy and support of most of the middle class and the upper classes of the commoners.

   Looking at it from different angles, you can see different vases, but a vase is a vase, it will not become something else, you can't point at a deer, and insist that it is a horse.

  Georgianna didn't know what Bonaparte was doing. Even though he was 80 years old, Roqueello was still agile and didn't seem to need any preferential treatment from others. Moreover, he had to lead her up the bell tower.

   She was going to wait, maybe Bonaparte would come later? No matter how energetic the old priest was, he couldn't climb the bell tower twice in a full dress. It was very tiring to climb up and down like this.
