Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 4 Chapter 34: Opportunity, opportunity, opportunity!

The decree of Pope Alexandria was passed to Realo on May 24, accompanied by the decree, and a new bishop of Ferrara.

The bishop originally took over from Ferrara to take over as his predecessor, but because of "coincidence", he was temporarily appointed by Pope Alexander VI as the messenger to announce the decree.

In accordance with the decree calling on all Christian world countries to fight against the pagan empire from the east, Alexander VI directly ordered the warring parties to cease the war immediately in the name of the pope, otherwise they would be severely punished by the Holy See.

The Venetian did not object to this order. In fact, after nearly a week of negotiations, the two sides have signed various treaties on the armistice. Except for some details to be discussed, the military forces of the two sides have actually been in a state of complete truce. in.

It ’s just that the Milanese are still a little dissatisfied with this treaty, especially to Alexander ’s request that the Sforza family send someone to participate in Giovanni Sforza ’s requisition mass. At the same time as sending someone to return this condition to Milan, Milan's army had several times incurred some minor disputes.

Alexander could understand the Milanese's thoughts, and from the time they decided to enter Romagna under the pretext of Giovanni's death, they were ready to go directly in Romagna.

For this they even spared no effort to cooperate with the Venetians who had a great contradiction before, but what they did not expect was that, like them, Alexander VI would actually form an alliance with the equally conflicted Loveley family.

The unexpected progress of the war also caught the Milanese by surprise. They never expected that the war would be detrimental to them from the beginning. After experiencing the defeat and loss of the Aural Battle, they even had no time to retaliate and had to accept a The result of the armistice.

What's worse, if you really send someone to participate in Giovanni Sforza's requisition mass, then there will be no last excuse for it in the future.

And according to the conditions proposed by the Vatican League, the Milanese must also bear a large amount of the compensation, which makes the Milanese feel very annoyed.

So when the decree came, Milan's general chose to withdraw directly to protest.

But this was just a gesture of helplessness. The war was actually over. When the messenger brought back Ludovico Sforza's order two days later, General Milan had to declare to accept all the conditions that had been negotiated by the two sides.

In addition to the Milanese, there is another person who is very dissatisfied with such a result is Calgino.

Like Pitilino, Calgino used this war as a good opportunity for him to show his strength to the Genoese and prepare for the throne of the Governor of Genoa.

The battle of Oral made him taste the sweetness. He felt that if he was lucky, he might even have the same benefits as Oral in the next war, but he never expected that the fruit of victory in exchange for 5000 gold coins from the feast The soup before the meal suddenly turned into the last dish, which made Calgino not only distressed the money, but also made him hate the Venetian teeth.

Calgino felt that Pitiliuno seemed to be fighting against him naturally, otherwise he would have chosen to retreat so easily, but he hated him even more because Alexander felt that the money was not only extorted to be worth it. And Alexander was even more abominable that he took advantage of the opportunity to win Montina while they were facing the Milanese.

In the end, a poor boy from the south took the biggest advantage, and Calgino felt that the outcome of the war was terrible.

Of course, Alexander would not care what Calgino thought. His mind was already on his new territory, because he knew that although it seemed that he had taken a lot of advantage in this war, the next step was coming. Many things happened, but also pushed him directly to the cusp of the storm.

In at most two years, the French will make a comeback. Although France should have changed the king by that time, the future Louis XII is obviously more difficult to deal with than the current Charles VIII.

Can you be ready for 2 years?

If you think about it, Alexander feels that there is not much time left for him.

The excellent location of Montina can bring many benefits to the owner, but correspondingly, each war makes this place destined to be an extremely important strategic point for all parties.

Alexander did not know whether he could successfully establish his position in Montina in these 2 years, and then quickly turned this into a solid base for him, but even if everything went well, think about what you might have to face next It was such a powerful character as Louis XII that Alexander still felt not easy.

What's more, Alexander knew that he could get the title of Count Montina purely because of the marriage contract with Barendi.

And to be able to make this marriage contract stable, everything depends on whether he is useful in Luo Weilei's eyes.

In this regard, the Rowley family may not be much better than the Borgia family.

Giovanni was very satisfied with the result of the negotiation. He kept silent about the Venetian promise to give Alexander 5,000 Florin benefits. After praising the entire negotiation, Giovanni left Alexander alone.

"I need your help," Giovanni said directly. "I know that your uncle, Count Modillo, has a great influence in Naples, and even King Frederick often had to accept his opinion. "

Alexander nodded, knowing that this should be just an opening remark, and Giovanni should have other things to say.

Sure enough, Giovanni said after a little contemplation: "I noticed that your uncle seemed to have a good relationship with the French. He even became a private friend with Charlie when the French invaded."

Speaking of this, Giovanni paused, seeing Alexander still just looking at him indifferently, and he could not help but secretly cursed, but then said: "I think if your uncle can choose to help me, maybe I will consider Help me and Lucrezia in front of my father. "

Alexander finally nodded, he probably already knew what Giovanni thought.

Obviously, if Caesar's mission succeeds, it will play a major role both in his reputation and his status in the family.

As everyone knows, Lucrezia is more intimate with Caesar. If Lucrezia is married to Alfonso of Billy Shelley, then the Kingdom of Naples will certainly have a much closer relationship with Caesar.

Although Xia Sang is also the sister of Alfonso, and her relationship with Giovanni is also intimate, but she is the wife of the bear child Jeffrey after all.

Obviously, Caesar's threat to Giovanni had made him feel that he would rather destroy the plans of their father Alexander VI than to see Caesar succeed.

Alexander really wanted to nod and agree for a while.

He believes that Giovanni should be sincere at least this time, because for him there is nothing worse than being shaken by Caesar.

While hoping to get help from Count Modillo to destroy Caesar's mission, while looking for a husband who could be his support for Lucrezia, this seemed to Giovanni and a good choice.

In addition to the possible benefits of marrying Lucrezia, Alexander could n’t help but admit that Lucrezia ’s charm also fascinated him. At least from the appearance alone, he really ca n’t think of any place where Barendi can and Lucrezia compared.

But the thought was only flashed in his mind after all, and Alexander put it away.

However, although the idea of ​​marrying Lucrezia is unrealistic, Alexander has to admit that now he and Giovanni not only share a common goal, but even consider it so close to the means, at least borrowing the destruction of Earl Modillo The idea of ​​delaying Caesar's mission made him feel that he could talk with the Duke of Gandino again.

On May 27, the negotiating treaty known as the "Realo Contract" was finally finalized in the church outside the city of Realo.

The signatures of the two parties were Vice Admiral Pitiliuno of Venice and Gombré, Earl of Montina.

According to the contract, the Milan-Milan Alliance will pay the Vatican Alliance a total of 40,000 Florin ’s military expenses as compensation.

And Venice was granted the right to march freely on the eastern edge of Romagna. As for the Milanese, after receiving the promise of Alexander VI, he would not let Lucrezia use his marriage with Giovanni Sforza to belong After the declaration of power by Giovanni Pezzaro, he also recognized the treaty.

As for the Genoese, after Alexander entered and declared the sovereignty of Montina, he actually achieved his goal. The Venetian's promise not to enter Romagna also made Genoa seem to have a satisfactory answer.

It was just a bit frustrating for Calgino, and even looking at Alexander sitting at the table to sign, Calgino's face looked very ugly.

When the name of Alexander Juliant Gumbre was signed at the signing place of the treaty full of articles, Alexander was a bit dazed for a while.

He could n’t imagine what it would be like when the historians opened the dusty contract for centuries and saw the signature above, or they just regarded the short war as already begun An insignificant fraction of the protracted Italian war.

Even in addition to some students who need to pass the history exam, they have to remember this boring day for the exam.

Because of this, Alexander ’s heart could n’t help but slightly trance. When he looked down at his name on the contract seriously, it seemed that at that moment he suddenly realized that he had really fully integrated into this world era, and also fully integrated This is a world full of dangers and countless possibilities and opportunities.

Pitiliuno was actually not satisfied with the contract. Like Calgino, he saw this war as an opportunity to regain the attention of the Venetians. However, the threat of the Ottomans made him have to end up hastily, but He seemed to see another greater opportunity appearing in front of him.

"Count, if possible I hope to meet you on a new battlefield," Pitiliuno said to Alexander after signing. "Of course I am not talking about the battlefield between us, but with the Ottoman On the battlefield, I hope that your sword will be as sharp as your negotiation skills. "

Alexander smiled noncommittally. He wanted to tell Pitiliuno that his idea would probably not be realized in his whole life, because the Ottomans, who are now regarded as terrible enemies by Europeans, failed to break into Italy.

It's just that Alexander felt he didn't need to say this to the Vice Admiral of Venice, nor would he disclose the "future" he knew to anyone.

The arrival of the Ottomans caused too much panic and uneasiness, but for Alexander, this was a golden opportunity.

The Venetians are very urgent, and perhaps no one can understand how destructive the threat from the East is.

The Adriatic Sea, sandwiched between the two peninsulas of Apennine and Balkans, has always been regarded by the Venetians as their own inner sea, and they have always been proud of it.

But now the Venetians suddenly realize that this glory seems to have become the rope that binds their hands and feet.

The threat from the Balkan side may block the great danger of the Adriatic Sea at any time, making it impossible for the Venetians to ignore it.

Alexander could imagine how anxious the old governor in the Doge's Palace in Venice is now, and at the same time he could understand why the letter sent by Rome from the Rome Sha received suddenly 2 days ago, why Lu Sha was so excited.

An invitation from the East ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ This was something that Alexander had not thought about before. This accident made him even curious about how Rusha suddenly came to Rome.

However, unlike Zuo Sha ’s suggestion that he only followed Ashurk ’s suggestion, Alexander was more interested in the route of the Ottoman noble all the way to the west. When he carefully reviewed the place that the man passed through the description in the Zuo Sha letter, Alexander suddenly felt that his thoughts, which had been haunting him all these days but could not be grasped for another time, gradually became clear.

Then everything seemed suddenly bright and cheerful!

The sudden thought prevented Alexander from hiding his joy. He did n’t even care about celebrating the so-called victory with others. Under everyone ’s surprised eyes, he greeted the others vaguely. Called Paul Busako to leave the church in a hurry.

Alexander returned to the camp in a hurry and astounded everyone, but then his orders made his people feel puzzled.

"Don't disturb me, don't disturb me no matter what, even if the Venetians change their minds and tear up the treaty, I need to be quiet now."

After the command that made everyone dumbfounded, Alexander plunged into the room.

After he was alone, Alexander forced himself to calm down.

He first tried to sort out the cranky thoughts in his head, and then took out the stationery and wrote it quickly.

"My dear sister, I know that you have always trusted me. So please do n’t ask any questions. I now need you to give me the greatest trust, so please listen carefully to me, I want you to do your best to gather A sum of money is ready for us to make us the next Medici, or even Fogel ... "
