Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 6 Chapter 95: 2 couriers

On October 26, 1199, this day was the anniversary of the martyrdom of the famous Saint Saint-Bouchenne in France, according to the calendar of Christ.

Hundreds of years ago, when the gospel of Christ had not spread all over Europe, especially the shadows of many gods and pagans remained on the vast land of the north, the saint went to the far north alone to try to spread the gospel, but wait His is not a warm welcome from the locals, but a brutal looting and slaughter, but the saint tried to affect those foolish people until his death.

This move shocked the murderers who had cruelly murdered him. Those people believed that the gods believed by such a righteous man must be truly noble and sacred, so these murderers who had killed a Christian believer were taking away Saint-Bouchenne. After life, he knelt in front of the torn body where he had lost his soul.

All this is about the legend of Saint-Bouchenne. Now the pagans who were converted by him and converted to Christ have become a group of wealthy businessmen. They no longer need to satisfy themselves by plundering the wealth of others, because they learn to use More civilized means to dig out others' pockets.

Although Saint-Bouchenne is indeed an amazing martyr, and one of the most influential saints in France, the Vatican would only be a small scale for this saint in the past. To commemorate the Mass, after all, in these dozens of centuries, there were many ancestors who were martyrdom like Christ the Saint Buchanin was martyred to Christ, some because it happened in a major event, and even appeared in batches once Holy thing.

But this year the Vatican unexpectedly organized a grand commemorative ceremony for the saint.

The ceremony was carried out in accordance with the treatment that saints who had had a significant influence in history, that is to say, one month before the memorial day, began to pray for this memorial ceremony.

This specification is actually a bit overwhelming, and the cost is not a small amount, but according to some people who are familiar with the inside story, the always stingy pope even paid for this commemorative event.

Everyone knows that Alexander VI did this purely to please the French King Louis XII. This French king who is already his in-laws seems to have suffered a loss in northern Italy, but then the French showed up. The courage as a European power.

He won in Varese but somehow lost Milan's Louis XII. Although he was lucky enough to escape the bad fate of being a captive of the Austrian army, his situation was not so optimistic.

All the loot collected by the French army in Italy after it was stored in Milan has become the possession of the Austrian army. What is worse is that a large number of supplies originally intended for the French army also fell in the hands of the Austrians. The situation in Italy changed in an instant.

Alexander VI was of course very dissatisfied with this situation. He had previously been forced to agree with the proposal made by Barendi that made him very angry because the French had to turn to the north to support Caesar, and now the French seem to be a bit possible. The unsustainable signs made Alexander VI somewhat doubt the reliability of the ally he was looking for.

However, Louis XII was obviously not so easy to deal with. While he was dealing with the Austrians, he quickly issued an order to France. While ordering the replenishment of the supplies intercepted by the Austrians, he ordered another transfer from France. Approve the army to support his operations in Italy.

This move of Louis XII made some entourage ministers somewhat resistant. They tried to explain to the king that this might cause dissatisfaction with the domestic nobles. Under such circumstances that the king expedition to a foreign country and the domestic instability, it is likely that many Unexpected situation.

But Louis XII firmly rejected the admonishment of the ministers. He ordered the herald to remind the nobles in the country that they must carry out his orders without exception, otherwise when he returned to France, they would let them know that France and France What is the anger of the French King.

The threat of Louis apparently had a good effect. By the end of September, the nobles in the French cities nearest to Italy had sent their troops earlier than others.

It was only then that Louis, who was secretly relieved, knew that he had gradually emerged from a crisis. At the same time, the Austrian army defeated in the Battle of Varese was under the command of Emperor Maximilian himself, but because The loss was heavy but for a while it was unable to form a mutual response with the friendly army in Milan, which gave Louis XI a rare opportunity.

He quickly retreated southwest with his army until he got rid of the threat of being attacked by the enemy from north to south, before finally stopping near Alexandria.

At this point, the Austrians regained control of Milan, and the French reinvented the Austrian army in the battle of Varese. The first battle between Fao was barely a tie.

The situation in Northern Italy, which has temporarily stalled again, also affected Rome.

Just two days after the French transferred to Alexandria, Alexander VI suddenly announced a one-month commemorative ceremony for Saint-Bouchenne, which had made many people still guess how much the relationship between the Pope and the French was. People finally realized that the Pope and Louis XII really had to wear the same pants this time.

On September 29, just as the commemorative ceremony for Saint-Bouchenne entered the fourth day, the two messenger messengers Zerma rushed into the city of Rome.

These two people looked dirty, and when they passed by, they could smell the unpleasant smell from their apparently no bath for a few days, and the salty sea breeze that they obviously had not completely eliminated. .

One of these two messengers went straight to the new home of the bishop, and the other went straight to the Vatican.

When the servant heard that there was a messenger from Naples, Alexander VI immediately felt uneasy. He did not remember that Alexander had sent a formal messenger. The correspondence between them before was only private. This is the first time that letters from the Pope have been sent in the name of the Pope.

Especially after seeing the striking coat of arms of the Kingdom of Naples on the envelope, the pope realized what might happen.

Sure enough, this letter, written in the name of the Queen of Regency of Naples, began with severe accusations against the Kingdom of Sicily.

After counting the previous violations of the Sicilian Kingdom against the Kingdom of Naples, Ruosha rebuked the Sicilian's crime of unlawfully detaining the Earl of Naples Modillo, and at the end of the letter, Ruosha resolutely wrote:

"All these are not enough to do the crimes committed by the Sicilian people against my kingdom of Sicily. For this reason, I personally believe that for the dignity of my kingdom of Sicily, for the welfare and security of the nobles and civilians of my kingdom, I have to be here The following difficult decisions are made at all times, with the power granted to me by the regency of the Kingdom of Sicily in Naples, to declare war officially on the Kingdom of Sicily in Sicily, in order to pray for the supreme and honorable bishop of the Vatican, the bishop of the Roman parish, God and the agent of walking on earth My honourable Pope gave me the blessing of victory. "

Alexander VI looked at the letter in silence, and after a while he exhaled.

It was then that he seemed to really understand what happened.

"Two Sicily, a fight?"

Alexander VI said in a slightly suspicious tone to the cardinal on duty on the side, but his tone was more like asking.

Watching Pope's record secretaries hurriedly transcribe the letter, Nomelo stood in the corner of the conference hall and thought a little bit puzzled.

For the sister of Alexander, Nomelo ’s impression is more beautiful, although the purpose of knowing that she is often intimate with Lucrezia may not be so simple, but Nomelo never thought about the new queen and the regent. The queen would have such great courage.

Or stupid.

Nomelo did not think that Ruosha was a stupid woman. This was not so much an understanding of her, it was because of Alexander.

Nomelo vaguely knew that Alexander had given a lot of important matters to this sister whom he had extremely trusted to do, which made him naturally think that the young noble girl would not be that simple.

"But what is he doing? Does he think he can be an enemy of two powerful countries at the same time?" Alexander VI was not so optimistic about the decision of his brother and sister. "He actually encouraged his sister to write me such a letter. Letter, just after he just encouraged his wife to shamelessly take Ferrara and Bologna from me. "

"Your Majesty, Ferrara and Bologna are still under your rule," Nomelo looked at the copy of the letter, which had been transcribed by the secretaries, and reminded softly. "In addition, the people you said were also included Your daughter. "

"This is what makes me even more angry," Alexander VI glanced at the private secretary and said, "I think sometimes that guy stands opposite me and laughs at me. I believe this feeling is very strong, even now I Seems to hear his laughter. "

"Obviously the count wanted you to support him in this matter," looked at the letter, and Nomelo analyzed softly. "But this is a bit strange. The count should know that it is impossible for you to express public support for his war at this time. Attitude, but he still reported this matter to you in such a formal way. "

"Of course I will not support him, although I hate that Gonzalo equally, but I also know my duties at this time, the only thing I can do is to deal with this kingdom of Christians and brothers. The war expresses regret and condemnation. "

Talking to Alexander VI, he sat down slowly, and he had no doubt at the moment when he first saw the letter, and then looked angry. Although he was a little muddy, he still looked at the sharp eyes from time to time. Nomelo, who was pondering over the letter.

"So why do you think he did this?"

Hearing the Pope ’s inquiry, the secretary was a little confused and spread her hands, and then very cautiously said, “I think the Earl hopes that you will not intervene in this matter.”

"I don't want to intervene in his things," Alexander VI waved annoyedly, expressing his disdain for this statement. "I thought he seemed to want me to get involved in this bad thing, but you How many chances do he think he has? Know that the French have drove the Neapolitans to Billy Shelley. For this Jeffrey ’s wife, I ’ve been to me more than once to cry for her brother ’s unfortunate experience. I ’m a bit lucky now. I did n’t marry Lucrezia to that Alfonso, and now it seems that the Duke of Billy Shelley has no ability and luck to match his status. Am I right? "

Nomelo shook his head secretly. He didn't know whether the Pope said that it was a satire to Alfonso or a commendation from Alexander, but he should know that he should not interrupt the Pope at this time.

Sure enough, Alexander VI continued to speak for himself: "With the strength of Billy Shelley now against Sicily, and there is also a French thing in it, I don't know what he thought, but I know to do it So stupid. "

"Perhaps the setback now is not a bad thing for you." Nomelo said casually.

"How can you say that," Alexander VI glanced at Nomelo in annoyance. "You don't know how important what he holds to us now, and look at Montina's position. The key place to live between Romagna and Tuscany has almost become a hub that directly affects the whole of Rome. Although I do n’t want to admit it, I still have to say that that place is really important in today ’s situation. . "

Nomelo didn't mind that the Pope seemed angry because of his displeasure. He just nodded his head silently, and he was pleased with the heart of the Pope's teachings.

"But because of this, he was very angry when he wrote this letter." The Pope looked at Nomelo and saw the secretary's understanding, and Alexander VI slowly sat down again and said helplessly. "He Grabbed my weakness, he knew what I wanted to get, so he put the bait into the water like a fisherman, but when the fish was about to bite, he went up again. If you do n’t eat the bait, you will become anxious, and you will eventually jump up in desperation. "

Speaking of the stopped pope, he made a gesture that he did not know what to represent, and then looked at Nomelo: "Do you know what I am talking about?"

Nomelo bowed slightly to the pope to show that he did understand, and then said: "The earl seems to be very interested in the war in the north, and this time he decided to support the emperor, which is somewhat surprising."

"He knows that although I want to form an alliance with the French, I don't want the French to rule the whole Rome if I have the opportunity. It is because he understands this that he dares to be so brazen and want more from me."

Nomelo didn't pay attention. The pope seemed to start complaining again because of his disobedient son-in-law. After careful consideration, he suddenly asked, "Do I need to go to Naples?"

Alexander VI, who was chattering, stopped at once. He looked at Nomelo for a while and picked up the wine glass to moisten his somewhat dry voice.

"Go tell him my attitude." The Pope lowered his voice and said, "Tell him how important Caesar is to me. I think he will know how angry I was about his army's intervention in Ferrara, so when The next time Caesar seeks his own interests, I want him to guarantee that such things will not happen again. "

Nomelo nodded, but he knew that the pope should have other orders.

"Also, you have to ask him how long this war will last," the pope said, seemingly awkwardly shaking his hand, but then stopped and said, "I know that the emperor was able to mobilize the army's money. , So I want to know what he thinks, it is not his style to sponsor a war of no interest. "

Nomelo took the Pope's orders very seriously this time. He knew this was the real reason why the Pope agreed to see him in Alexandria.

As Alexander VI said, he now wonders why his cheap son-in-law paid for Maximian.

Speaking of this, the reputation of the Grand Duke of Vienna is actually not very good. The scumbags that have repeatedly broken contracts have made his credit precarious. It seems a little smart to spend money to support such a person.

It was just what Alexander thought about it, which was probably only known after meeting him.

Just as Pope told Nomelo, another messenger had already seen Uliu who was temporarily housed in the bishop's house.

During this time, Uliu began to wander around the city of Rome again, but just as Mahimo said, he had realized that he was indeed not the humble Moor.

At this time, Uliu was already a slightly famous figure in Rome. Even if he was a Moor, he could be the court manager of Pisa and the former ex-official of Montina, he really could no longer be as casual as before. Drilled into the back kitchen of someone else's house, and chatted with the maids while exploring all kinds of news.

Although receiving a letter, Uliou was a little surprised by what Alexander gave him, but he set off immediately.

And his destination is the home of the Pope ’s son Giovanni Pogia, the Gilpitz Palace ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Maria de Luna, she is ready to leave Rome, with the Giovanni's death, returning to Aragon's hometown to raise children, and then allowing his children to succeed Giovanni's title in Gandino as soon as possible seems to be the only thing in her later life.

So Maria de Luna was surprised by Uliu's sudden visit.

And perhaps it was because of the education influenced by the origin and the Aragonese noble family since childhood, and Maria de Luna had a natural hostility to the Moors.

But Uliou didn't care about the hostility from the Duchess, because the news he brought was enough to make the lady's attitude towards him drastically change.

"Madam, I have brought you news. I think you must be very interested," Uliu said respectfully after bowing. "It's about the real murderer of Duke Gandino."
