Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Even through the screen, Lucrezia could notice the surprise in Alexander ’s unexpected “ah” sound, her hands could n’t help but because she had to endure until she heard the door gently As soon as the closed voice came, she immediately rushed out of the screen.

What surprised Lucrezia was that she saw the appearance on Alexander's face that didn't seem to be because of some unexpected and uneasy look. On the contrary, his face was very strange, or rather than accidental, it was more Surprise.

"What happened?" Lucrezia walked over, and she noticed that Alexander was clutching the letter tightly, and her eyes were constantly patrolling up and down, seeming to thoroughly read the contents of the letter.

"Something happened, but don't worry," Alexander raised his head and smiled at Lucrezia, and walked over to stretch her arms around her waist. "If someone tells me you are my lucky angel, I will not object. "

"Oh?" Lucrezia looked at Alexander with some curiosity, which made her more curious about what was written in the letter from Rusha. "What made you say that?"

"It's something very interesting," Alexander smiled and kissed Lucrezia's forehead. "Luosha wrote, saying that there will probably be a piece of our land in Crete soon."

"Crete?"

Lucrezia was also surprised. She knew Crete, and she knew that there were large crops of sugar for that place. Although she never knew what it was, at least she knew how precious honey was.

"Are you saying that we have a place to brew honey, in Crete?"

Lucrezia's inquiry caused Alexander a laugh, but he did not intend to explain to Lucrezia that sugar and honey are completely different sources.

As an important transportation hub in the Mediterranean, Crete has been a key place connecting East and West since its civilization.

Whether in the Greek era of ancient legends or this turbulent period, even after centuries, Crete has always been an important place in the Mediterranean world that cannot be ignored.

At the moment, Crete belongs to Venice at least in name.

When the forces of the Ottomans began to wreak havoc on the Mediterranean Sea, at first Venice tried to avoid the edge of this aggressive Eastern empire as much as possible. For this several governors of Venice, they tried to establish with the Ottomans. Although fragile, at least A peace that can be maintained.

However, the toughness of the Ottomans made them have to face strong enemies, but it was the Ottomans' covetment of Venice's colony on the Mediterranean that finally made the Venetians choose to face it.

Among them, the Ottomans' attention to Crete is a very important reason why the Venetians finally had to give up peace.

The unique geographical location of Crete and the cane sugar plantation on the island because of the climate are the main reasons why Venice cannot give up this place.

For people of this era, luxury condiments are no longer just a matter of being able to enjoy delicious food. This has even risen to the point of having status and wealth.

The large honey honey cakes that are stored are often a sign that some nobles boast about their wealth to neighbors, and whether they can use enough pepper in the food when entertaining guests is a broad signal of whether the nobles communicate with their wrists. .

Because both sugar and pepper are very expensive and difficult to obtain in Europe, those who can easily take out these people not only show that they are rich enough to make others jealous, but also that they have enough ways to enjoy Sometimes this kind of valuable goods may not be available even if you have money.

Venice is rich, the sugar cane fields of Crete are indispensable.

Lucrezia is very happy, perhaps because of her father ’s influence, she is happy about any news of her wealth, although it seems that Crete is still under Venetian control, and listening to the meaning of Alexander ’s words, it seems It's not just that they own the land alone, but it has made her feel overjoyed.

Because of such happiness, Lucrezia did not notice that Alexander was carefully hiding the letter in his pocket.

The ambassador of Venice is a small but imposing person. His hair is carefully combed with bear oil added with rose powder. From a distance, it looks like a waxed wooden floor, although the taste is real. Some people were not complacent, but he was unexpectedly smoked with a very rich flavor of the mask to cover the unpleasant smell that bear oil will inevitably emit this season.

And when Alexander smelled the smell of him when he first met, he knew it was the smell of his own perfume.

This makes Alexander a little curious about how Kotzach ’s perfume business is doing. Although he just planned to use this as a means of establishing a relationship of interest with Kotzach and Gonzalo from the beginning, but from a The Venetians smelled their own perfume, which gave Alexander some sense of accomplishment.

It ’s just that the Venetian is really arrogant and annoying, which will inevitably destroy Alexander ’s interest, so when I listen to the Venetian messenger ’s cliché again, he ca n’t help but claim that the trade between Venice and Florence is pure and decent. He interrupted the messenger's words impatiently.

"Venice's actions have threatened and violated Pisa's interests," Alexander seriously looked at the eyes under his forehead, which appeared extremely wide because his hair was completely brushed behind his head. "I am not complaining but declaring the Venetian Guilt, if you continue to quibble, I have to consider using the most intense means. "

The Venetian messenger looked at Alexandria unexpectedly. He didn't even understand whether the count knew what he was talking about.

"Earl, as far as I know you are fighting Genoa." The Venetian looked at Alexandria amusedly. He felt the need to remind this apparently arrogant Earl. "Do you think you can fight Genoa and Venice at the same time?" ?"

The messenger's words caused a low gasp in the hall, and many people looked at Alexander with some anxiety, and then looked at Lucrezia, who was sitting next to Esteles.

Unfortunately, Lucrezia didn't seem to care about what they were saying. She lowered her head and laughed and teased her daughter, who suddenly recovered after a nap, and whispered in the ear of her daughter that she could not hear If you understand.

"I don't think it's you who understood what happened," Alexander slowly stood up. "First of all, I was in a war with the Calgino family of Genoa, not the Republic of Genoa, and I can assure you that this war will soon In the past, the Venetians have now violated the agreement we signed after the last armistice. Second, if you think that my statement is a declaration of war against Venice, then I can tell you clearly that you did not understand it wrong. This is indeed a declaration of war. If Venice does not stop its penetration and ambition in Florence, I will treat your actions as hostility towards Pisa, and then the war between us will inevitably erupt again. "

The Venetian stared at Alexander stunnedly. He wanted to know if he had misheard or misunderstood, but the sentence let him know that he had not heard it wrong.

Is this Gombre crazy?

At this time, the only answer that the Venetian could think of was this, so that he first looked to Lucrezia, and then looked around, hoping to see someone speak out to stop Alexander.

But to his surprise, Lucrezia certainly didn't mean to say anything, and the pizza people around him were silent.

"Maybe you are surprised, but I believe that as soon as you return to Venice, you will soon know why I said that."

Alexander felt that there was no need to continue to get entangled with this nasty Venetian. In fact, this man arrived in Pisa just after his messenger sent to Venice left. It can be seen that the Venetian had already arranged.

Perhaps the Venetian had made different preparations before, whether or not he succeeded in hijacking Tomnio, this person would come to Pizza.

Only if he succeeds is the so-called messenger entrusted by Tomnio put forward the conditions, if there is failure, he will do all kinds of sophistry as now.

However, when they made this plan, they obviously did not know that the Ottomans were about to launch an attack on Hungary, and now the merchants in the city of Venice have already received some news. They want to come to Venice to plan for Romagna and Tuscany. changed.

Looking at the veiled expression in the Venetian, Alexander felt impatient for a while. In fact, he had more important things to do. The content of the letter had been pulling his heart.

Seemingly aware of the irritability between Alexander's expressions, Busako, who was standing on the side, although puzzled, still made a gesture to the distant officer.

"Bang Bang ~"

Three dull instrument rods struck the ground, and the Venetian glanced at Alexander with an angry face.

"Count, I must say that you will regret the decision you made today. I hope that the next time I need to leave for pizza, I will still take care of this task. By that time, we can recall the conversation today."

"Yes," Alexander looked at the threatened Venetian quietly. "But please also tell me your governor. I hope Venice will be lucky in the days to come."

The messenger glanced at Alexandria doubtfully, not knowing what he meant, but by this time the instrument had already sounded again, and the urging sound made the Venetians too late to think about it, and turned only slightly and walked towards the door. go with.

As the Venetian left, Alexander noticed a slightly changing atmosphere around him.

Many people looked at him with puzzled and worried eyes. Although they did not say anything, Alexander knew that they were actually very upset.

After all, as this ambassador of Venice said, with the power of Pisa and Montina, it was impossible to be against Genoa and Venice at the same time.

Although it may be almost impossible for the two cities to unite, even if they are dealt with separately, it will be enough to make Pizza feel scared, not to mention that if they really intend to annex Pizza, they may attack at the same time.

"I know what you are worried about," Alexander felt it necessary to stabilize people's hearts. "The messengers I sent to Rome have already received accurate answers from Cardinal Lord. The threat from Genoa will soon pass, as for Venice," Alexander wondered How to say it, but think about it is still straightforward. "I just got the news that Bayesert II of the Ottoman Empire will soon wage war against the Kingdom of Hungary, and as far as I know, the Ottomans have prepared the offensive cloth. Galeste ’s preparations, so the Venetians will soon miss us. ”

A startling low voice rang out from all around, and the Pizza people looked at each other in amazement. They could not have imagined that the seemingly inevitable crisis had just disappeared, especially when the Ottomans were about to enter Hungary. Actually, for the pagans' actions, they made an untimely cheer.

Looking at the excited Pisa, Alexander's eyes turned to Lucrezia on the side, and seeing that Lucrezia was also looking at him, Alexander walked over to take her hand and kissed him slightly.

"You are my lucky angel," Alexander lowered his head and whispered in Lucrezia's ear, and then he waved slightly to the people around him. "I think we can all have a good rest. For this good news, tonight we A grand dinner is to be held. "

Cheers rang again in the hall, but this time people were thanking the count for his generosity and hospitality.

Lucrezia looked at Alexander a bit strangely, and somehow she thought Alexander seemed a little strange, but she couldn't say anything wrong.

So after thinking about it, she left the thought behind her.

Today, Lucrezia ’s greatest interest and happiness is to coax her daughter. Looking at her daughter seems to change one day at a time, she has even begun to wonder what kind of clothes to prepare for her daughter.

Because of the gala dinner, the next meeting becomes less important.

What's more, the Venetian has left in embarrassment, and the count announced that Genoa will soon stop the war with Montina, so what else needs to be anxious?

The lazy pizza man quickly turned his attention to the evening gala dinner, many people were already thinking about what clothes to change at night, and what kind of sleeves and hats to wear so that they would not look like other people. same.

Lucrezia was also anxious.

Although she was willing to live in such a small house with Alexander, she still felt that her life in Pisa was too shabby.

The room where she put her clothes was too small, and there were less than 10 laces and flower linings that she could choose to match with each piece of clothing. So when she heard that a dinner party was going to be held in the evening, Lucrezia was in a hurry.

"I have to get someone to catch some clothes for me, and sleeves that can match these clothes. God, I don't have a belt that I can take," Lucrezia's look changed as if he had encountered the end of the world. Then I left and kissed Alexandria in a hurry, and then gave my daughter to the arms of the nanny who was walking. "I have to go to the tailor immediately. God knows if it's too late."

Looking at Lucrezia in a hurry, Alexander smiled slightly, and watching the carefully beloved woman so worried about dressing, it was a precious happiness in such an era.

But when it comes to the beloved woman, Alexander couldn't help but touch the letter in his pocket.

Bringing Busako and several hunting guards, Alexander rode out of Pisa City on Pajasos.

Aufrei did not directly bring the army into Pisa, but established a camp on the hill near the outpost about 2 miles away from Pisa.

According to Ofrei's explanation, the city is a trap for degenerating an army. Although it is not very agreeable to this statement, Alexander is happy to see that the commander of the army is gradually mature in commanding the army.

The suburbs of Pisa in autumn are beautiful, but Alexander has no extra mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and his mind has been on the letter that has not been read before.

Finding a fairly comfortable place to sit down, Alexander took out the letter.

He first calmed down the slightly excited mood, and then opened the letter carefully.

"... Dear brother, our business is now going smoothly," Alexander revisited the place where he was interrupted by Lucrezia before revisiting. "Especially now, that Ashurk proved that he was indeed in front of Sudan. It has a great impact. Some Naples chambers of commerce are threatened by Ottoman pirates at sea, and the benefits that our alliance has gained are obvious. The prices of goods on the market have risen due to shortages. ~ Www.wuxiaspot.com ~ This allowed us all to earn enough money. In Naples, some people have privately argued that the alliance may have some kind of deal with the Ottoman pirates, but they ca n’t produce evidence and dare not openly fight Modillo ’s family. This feeling of helplessness is really delightful. "

Seeing this, Alexander smiled involuntarily. He could imagine Ruosha's smug little pride.

Thinking of his lovely sister, Alexander couldn't help but feel that everything he had done before was really worth it.

"But I still want to remind you to think about the recruitment of workers as soon as possible. After all, the Ottomans attacked Crete a month ago, and the Venetians were frightened because they were worried that the Ottomans would land on the island. Now they have tried to Concentrated on the area of ​​Hacisi in the west of the island. It is said that there are the strongest fortresses of the Venetian colonies in Crete, but Ashirk has repeatedly guaranteed that the Sudan has no interest in Crete temporarily. I think this is a This rare opportunity gives us a good opportunity to expand our territory on this island. "

Alexander nodded his head with his finger and imagined that Russa had a colonial costume to take people to occupy Crete, and then became a female planter, driving the workers to work in the sun. Alexander felt a bit too weird. Too.

But seeing this, Alexander stopped, and although he had calmed down from the initial excitement, he still felt faintly trembling.

"There is one more thing I want to tell you, although this matter is actually not that important," Alexander felt that when Rusha wrote about it, her mood should be a little more complicated. This seemed to her intentionally to seem indifferent. It can be seen in "The Nashan, suddenly came to Naples. Yes, that is the untrained bohemian girl, he is back."
