Vol 7 Chapter 173: What God created

Burgos was captured a few days ago.
The biggest trouble often faced by any city occupied by foreign invaders is that the locals will cooperate with the army to recover the lost land.
So the French tried brutally to intimidate the residents of Borges.
It's just that if you are dealing with unorganized civilians, this method may still work, but when there is a well-trained internal response, it is only a matter of time to cause trouble to the occupier, and even cause failure.
Gonzalo's army entered Burgos quickly, and even before the majority of the French had responded, they had entered the city from the dock that was suddenly taken.
The French were of course well prepared that the Castilians might attack from the river, but they did not expect that the army guarding the dock would be attacked from the city.
Suddenly appearing enemies quickly occupied the quay by the river at an alarming rate, and at the same time they blocked the nearby road with a carriage full of debris that had been prepared.
When the French brigade arrived, a group of Aragonese had crossed the river, and what made the French desperate was that the "thugs" who blocked the street and used the powerful muskets became a pretext. The best weapon for stubborn resistance.
In the narrow and narrow streets, the enemies who did not know where to shoot from the back of the alley, the window, the attic, and the carriage leaning in the street kept shooting at them, and the French who was hit fell down on the street. There was one piece, but it was still impossible to rush through.
Even more terrifying is that the Aragonese army outside the city took the opportunity to launch an offensive. It was under this attack from inside and outside enemies that Burgos was captured.
Gonzalo was very happy. He didn't occupy Burgos so quickly. For him, such a victory would not make him overjoyed.
He was glad that after solving the French in front of him, he could immediately attack the Portuguese.
Although the French invasion was irritating, Gonzalo always believed that the threat from France was not great. He had been staring closely at Manuel, hoping to completely subdue the Portuguese through a war.
So when he heard that some Frenchmen entered Galicia, he was very happy because for him it meant that he might be able to help the Queen solve many of Galicia's troubles.
He even thought that if possible, after defeating the French, he launched an attack from Galicia to northern Portugal, and if necessary, he could even approach the important town of Bordeaux in northern Portugal.
This is obviously a great idea, although it is temporarily conceived, but it is definitely a random response. For this reason, Gonzalo has almost no stay in Burgos. After only a short day of rest, he embarked on the army with obvious dissatisfaction. The road to Galicia.
As for Alexander, who helped him recapture Burgess, Gonzalo was naturally surprised by his appearance. He had n’t forgotten the vow of declaring war when the two broke up, so although he showed great enthusiasm, he was also very alert It makes people stare at the seemingly less peaceful Duke of Rome Theseia.
Gonzalo's army advanced quickly, and when his men arrived in the town of San Cinso in eastern Galicia, there was more and more news about the French.
What surprised Gonzalo slightly was that Alexander, who followed him all the way to Galicia, offered to stay in the town of San Cinso. Although this made him a little surprised, but he could finally think about not having to worry about staring at him along the way. Salou was still a little happy.
Gonzalo did not want to be an enemy of Alexander. He regarded the young man as a good friend and a partner who made money with him. At least he wanted to come to see him as long as Alexander did not show real hostility.
So he was very satisfied with Alexander ’s initiative to leave him, although he wanted Alexander to take a good look at how he taught the Portuguese.
But all his plans were suddenly interrupted.
The bad news brought by the emissary from Bari Lidod made Gonzalo do not know how to face this accident for a while, he even thought it might be that his dead enemy was deliberately spreading rumors.
However, the letter with the Queen's seal made Gonzalo realize that this was indeed the case, and Isabella's life was really coming to an end.
The bad news was so unexpected that it seemed to him that Alexander had appeared in Galicia.
Isabela, Queen of Castile, is an outstanding monarch who has been impressed with a strong record, both now and in later generations.
There are many reasons why people remember her, but few people pay special attention to her as a woman.
Perhaps this is because the outstanding talent she displayed is too conspicuous, but it makes people ignore her gender.
There are many such female monarchs before and after. They are named by history, or admired by the world, or criticized or hated, but this cannot cover their dazzling light.
Alexandria had not seen Isabella very often. Apart from the formal visit, he had seen the queen only a few times.
Instead, her husband Ferdinand, Alexander has dealt with him more than once.
Isabella has been seriously ill for a long time, but Alexander does not think she will die at this time.
In his impression, although because of his deteriorating condition, he spent almost the last few years on the sickbed, but Isabella still has at least a year of life.
But suddenly, the news brought to him by Gonzalo made him a little surprised and could even be said to be caught by surprise, because the accident caused by Isabella's early death had some troublesome impact on his previous plan.
But Alexander knew that Gonzalo would not lie to him with such a thing.
For Gonzalo Cordova, Queen Isabella is his benefactor and confidant. Probably no other monarch in this world can tolerate a person like him, even many people I used to secretly wonder whether there was any ambiguity between them.
But Alexander knew that things were not so trivial.
Queen Isabella undoubtedly has a pair of eyesight. Among the many Castile nobles, it is she who has seen the great power contained in this unruly young noble from a long time ago.
She appreciates him, trusts him, and gives him the responsibility and power, and Gonzalo did not live up to the queen's trust and cultivation. He proved to himself in his own way how a courtier was loyal to his monarch.
Because of this, Alexandria hardly considered recruiting this famous man who established the Spanish army ’s strong position in Europe for nearly two centuries after Isabella was alive.
He knew it would n’t work. Gonzalo Cordova was a person with a classical discriminatory temperament. He imitated the loyalty of the romantic knights to the monarch in ancient times, so deep that he could no longer hold the 2nd in his heart. A monarch, which also includes Isabella's husband Ferdinand.
Probably because of the fact that this situation is very clear, Ferdinand, although he valued Gonzalo's talents equally, but after a few attempts, he was completely disappointed with this untamable "rogue".
But now looking at Gonzalo's slightly confused face, Alexander's heart could not help but live again.
If it is on the battlefield, Gonzalo Cordova is undoubtedly the most terrible opponent. The reason why the Spanish phalanx once ran across the European continent is because of the strength of the Spanish army, but against Gonzalo in this era. The thoughts beyond the ordinary people are inseparable.
Robustness is the biggest feature of the Spanish phalanx. The use of the complementarity of firearms and cold weapons makes the Spanish phalanx become a mobile fortress on the battlefield.
The fact that the heavy cavalry's repeated spoils in the rain of the forest-like spears and the increasing proportion of muskets proved the strength of the Spanish phalanx, and this tactic was pushed to the extreme Gonzalo. With amazing talent that ordinary people do not have.
But all of this suddenly came to an end with the bad news that Isabella might die, the prototype of the Spanish phalanx has just begun to emerge, and many things are still brewing in my mind that has not been turned into an attack. Reality, but now he has to face troubles that he has never encountered on the battlefield before.
Gonzalo is actually a very smart person. He is not ignorant of the consequences of his arrogance and rudeness towards Ferdinand, but he still does.
This is related to his personality, but more because of his origin and status.
As the most trusted general around the Queen of Castile, even Isabella ’s husband, Gonzalo is unlikely and should not show too much loyalty to him, otherwise this is in the Castilian It is conceivable what kind of influence it will have.
So Gonzalo confronted those who made him feel troubled with an almost arrogant attitude, and also used his extravagant life to prove to others that he was actually ambitious.
It's just that the price to be paid is too high. When Isabella is alive, this behavior will prove that he is only loyal to the queen, but once the queen is away, this can be his evidence.
In fact, the history of Gonzalo is indeed such an end. After Isabella's death, Ferdinand, who had already endured him, soon began to liquidate Gonzalo.
Although this is because Gonzalo ’s prestige and power in the Castilian army did threaten Ferdinand, who was passive because of Isabella ’s death, but it was too much because of what he showed before. The etiquette and even the personal grievances that made Ferdinand's face lose a lot.
Although Ferdinand did not rush to kill from the back, but only forced him to give up his military power to go home to enjoy the blessing, but for a celebrity eager to prove himself on the battlefield, such a result may be even more sad.
"So are you going back to Valladolid?" Alexander asked with concern.
Gonzalo's heavy eyebrows almost twisted together, and this sudden change did make him a little bit lost for a while.
At this time, Gonzalo was surprised to find that he had always thought that the Queen would not leave him so early. It was so naive, even ridiculous, imagined that the inhuman-like Isabella tortured by the disease was lying on the bed Looks like, this Spanish history star can't help but mutter to himself.
"I don't know what to do. I mean it came too fast. I always thought that even if she was not ill, the queen would live longer than me," Gonzalo sighed and looked at the stone. The river flowing right in front of you "You know, when I was young, even my family thought that I would only become a prodigal prodigal in the future."
"But you are now Castilla's greatest general." Alexander sat side by side with him and looked at the distance. Of course he would not tell the person next to him. Later generations called him "great Gonzalo." And many people regard him as one of the important initiators of the evolution of the classical army to the modern army.
"That's because the queen found me. She believed she was not so wrong as she believed that she did not misunderstand her," Gonzalo slowly inserted the fingers of both hands into her hair and hugged her head hard. "I let her down. I can't help her now. "
"You can help his daughter." Alexander said unmovingly.
"Who, Juana?" Gonzalo's lips twitched. "She has no place other than Isabella's, except that she is the queen's daughter, even though she is not the best among all her sisters. It ’s awful, but it ’s definitely the least like her daughter.

"So what about the others?" Alexander still asked casually.
"Who? Maria? It ’s impossible for her to become Queen of Castile. Do n’t say Ferdinand will not agree. I will not accept a Queen of Portugal to become Queen of Castile. As for Catherine, Similarly, no one will agree that a queen of England becomes queen. "
"So what if there are others?" Alexander continued to ask.
Hearing this, Gonzalo, who had always been watching the river's fascination, suddenly turned his head and stared at Alexander's face.
"Are you saying, Juana?"
Gonzalo's tone seemed erratic for a moment ~ EbookFREE.me ~ His eyes flashed inexplicably.
A silent silence lay between the two for a while.
Although it is still the same name, both of them know that this Juana is of course not Isabella's daughter, but another name that is almost taboo to the Castilians, related to this name , Is a farce and scandal of the Castile court for power.
In order to win the crown, Isabella did not hesitate to make this royal scandal known all over the world.
"No," Gonzalo, who had been staring at Alexander's face, finally spoke. His tone was calm, but there was undoubted determination in his tone. "That woman is impossible, I know she will soon become Queen of Portugal, so we all know that this is impossible and not allowed. "
Listening to Gonzalo's words, Alexander laughed. He raised his hand and patted Gonzalo's shoulder gently. He leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Maybe this is not a problem. Don't forget that sometimes God Will create miracles for the world he loves. "
