Vol 7 Chapter 174: Alexander's "Alexander Empire"

Crossing the river from the town of Sansinso is the closest way to Galicia from the north, so it was not long ago that the French entered Galicia from here.
So as long as you walk around in the town, you can see the chaos caused by the army. In addition to the shocking atmosphere of the people in the town, there are a few pounds of black wreckage from the burnt house that looks shocking.
The French obviously did not plan to stay in Galicia for a long time, so they quickly left after collecting food locally and continued to head west.
The purpose of this French army is very clear. They hope to connect with Portugal from the direction of Galicia, so that they can use only a small force to form a threat to the entire northwest of Castile.
Judging from the actual situation, their plan is still very feasible. The special environment of Galicia does provide them with convenient conditions. I have heard that some local nobles have expressed their willingness to cooperate with the French, and a few people have simply proposed the Portuguese to merge. Galicia.
In this situation, Gonzalo faced a difficult choice.
Whether he stays in Galicia to continue to fight with Portugal and the French army, or immediately rushes back to Barriado, no matter which one he chooses, he must be well prepared to face the upcoming difficulties.
Gonzalo knew that the court struggle in Bariaridod was very important to him, especially after he had repeatedly offended Ferdinand, he knew that all the changes that might happen at this time were to him. What kind of influence it has.
But again, if he returns to Banri Aristotle at this time, if everything goes well in the northwest, it may be okay to say, but once there is a setback, just the crime of trespassing the front line will become his enemy ’s biggest attack on him handle.
So for him, this is a dilemma.
In addition, even if all goes well, but when faced with the Portuguese, they also face many difficulties, including even Gonzalo himself how to ensure that the Portuguese can be deterred, but not to make this war unstoppable. As a result, I felt a headache.
"I have to go back," when meeting Alexander alone, Gonzalo instead told him this decision, even for the cronies around him, and was not surprised to see Alexander at his decision. Gonzalo's eyes looked subtle. "As far as I know, you don't like Ferdinand."
"He is not a person who can deal well."
Alexander said casually. In fact, he always felt that Ferdinand was a bit sinister, but in history, at least how to deal with Gonzalo was considered kind.
Although he instructed Luo Zhi to commit many crimes, he finally forgiven Gonzalo in the name of the king, and he also allowed Gonzalo to take home the wealth he had searched for over the years to enjoy his home. In this regard, Fei Dinant was a benevolent monarch.
But of course he would not tell Gonzalo about this.
With Isabella's critical condition, Gonzalo now has to face the ill-fated future he may face, which is exactly what Alexander needs.
It ’s not easy for someone like Gonzalo to get his loyalty. Isabella can be loyal to him. That ’s because he was not only young but also not valued by others. Once he was appreciated by the queen, Gong Salou was naturally moved by the guts of death.
But with the change of identity and status, people's hearts naturally changed. Even Alexander sometimes thought that Isabella's early death was a complete fate of their princes.
Gonzalo ’s loyalty to the queen has not changed from the beginning to the end. This is the luck of the two of them. If Isabella has a long life, they may not be able to get such a prince in another few years.
At least although Juana is Isabella ’s legal heir, she ca n’t see how much Gonzalo respects her. This can be seen from his disdain for Ferdinand, who is the regent of Juana, from beginning to end. .
Because even if there is a little respect for the young queen, he will not be so arrogant and rude to the queen's father, or even add evil words.
Of course, he deliberately behaved recklessly and arrogantly with short-sightedness, without political mind, and may not have the true thoughts of the father and daughter in his heart.
Therefore, it is very unrealistic to want such a person to be loyal to himself. When he is proud of himself, the only thing that can impress him is greater power and more wealth, and when he is unfortunate, the means that can be used are probably It is to keep him and his family safe.
But Alexander knew that it was not time for a showdown. Sister Alft might reveal some clues. After all, it was Isabel ’s daughter, but Enrique ’s illegitimate child had to be more cautious.
After all, he could not be complacent and revealed his "life experience", after Gonzalo first said, "Lao is now mixed with the wind and the water is entirely cultivated by the queen, but he has never eaten your father's meal", and then waits The result is probably the result of "the shameless clown who tried to counterattack and count down".
You must be careful, you must be cautious, and when you get to this step, you ca n’t give up on a little pride and negligence.
Alexander knew that what he was concerned with now was not just himself, but involved the fate of too many people. Even in his correspondence with Ruo Sha, he repeatedly saw Ruo Sha describing his future.
So this also reminds him all the time, the more he is at this time, the more he must be calm.
"Maybe I should find someone to deal with the Portuguese here instead. A seasoned general who knows how much to fight the war."
Gonzalo said while looking at Alexandria, the hinted expression was almost already asking him to promise the hint himself.
Alexander shrugged indifferently. He was n’t surprised how Gonzalo had such a whimsy. After all, his previous actions showed that his Castilian had some kind of ambition, and now The trade union and the French also formed an alliance.
But this is the case in this era. The military will not be skeptical because their commander is a foreigner or even a hostile country. At this time
The term generation country is still so vague, and the nobility is free to serve the monarchs of other countries.
In fact, about the news of Isabella's critical illness, Alexander knew it earlier than Gonzalo.
It was for this reason that he temporarily decided to stay in the town of San Simsoa to wait for further news.
And he even thought of the change in front of him. After all, after learning that the queen was in critical condition, as a minister and friend of the queen, whether it was public or private, Gonzalo must return to the court of Bariaridord as soon as possible Cope with the various changes that may occur.
So at this time, he could replace him, and the people in the Northwest Warfare became the key.
In Alexander's view, Gonzalo's men really did not have the capacity to take on this important task.
Then the only person who can replace him is Alexander.
This idea may have been ridiculous in the first day. After all, seriously, they are more enemies, but now whether it is Gonzalo or Alexander himself, it seems that this is the only feasible way.
As for Barialido, Alexander did not want to go.
According to the following arrangement, or according to the planning of Earl Modillo and his associates many years ago, it should be the time for the nun Alft to appear.
It was just that Sister Alfred, who was suddenly robbed by Alexander, was a real surprise and gave the conspirators of the Jewish Congress a hard blow.
Alexander is not opposed to cooperating with others, such as Grogening, although he knows that the businessman has his own plans, but as long as the two sides have the same goals, this does not prevent them from becoming partners.
But he did n’t want to be a puppet for anyone. Even the Jewish Congress, even if he was a proxied agent, succeeded in ascending to the throne, but because of the church ’s deep-rooted forces, he could only enjoy a secret conspiracy to rule the world in secret. Intend to deal with these people.
As for Count Modillo, it was somewhat different. He and Count were both partners and "relatives", and later the Count apparently chose to remain silent after he had long known that he was not Joel Modillo.
Therefore, the relationship between him and the earl was much more complicated, and it was precisely because of this that he sent someone to quietly disclose the news about the whereabouts of Sister Alft.
He believed that it would not take long for the count to come to him, but before that he had to determine whether the people of the Jewish Assembly were also preparing to use Don Bavi to make waves in southern Castilla as he had guessed.
If so, Alexander may have to consider whether to make changes to Sister Alft ’s future mission.
Gonzalo finally decided to return to Barrialdod as soon as possible.
At the same time, new news was also coming. Toledo ’s aristocratic council had decided to send people to Barrialdod to prepare for any unforeseen circumstances. At the same time, the noble parliament announced its support for Juana as the regent of the kingdom, just waiting for the court of Barialido After an official invitation, Juana will travel from Toledo to the Kingdom's capital.
Almost at the same time, Ferdinand also made a statement publicly supporting his daughter ’s inheritance status, which somewhat relieved the Castilian aristocracy who was worried that there might be a dispute between the father and the queen.
It was these news that made Gonzalo make the final decision.
He summoned all his officers together, and after announcing the transfer of the command of the army to the Duke of Rome Theseia, he immediately hurriedly left the town of San Simso with his men.
Looking at the back of Gonzalo leaving, Alexander wondered if he would act in such a hurry, probably for other reasons.
The model army of Gonzalo is heading north from Andalusia. According to the itinerary, they should now be not far from Bariaridod. Gonzalo hurried back at this time, which may not have any other reason.
Will Gonzalo make any amazing moves at this critical moment concerning the succession of the Castile throne?
When this thought flashed from Alexander's heart, he quickly thought about it, and then felt that there might not be such an accident that has not occurred in history.
Gonzalo Cordova has never been a man of rules, nor a coward who bowed his head to the authority.
He can rebuke the pope in public, or even openly satire the king who can determine his destiny even when he is in prison. His character is destined to belong to Cass except because he was appreciated by Isabella in his youth Outside of Queen Tilia, it is almost impossible to imagine that someone could make him truly loyal.
So at this time it is not surprising that he will use the army in his hands to earn enough capital for himself.
After all, the great Gonzalo is just an ordinary person. When Isabella is gone, it is more realistic to pursue power and wealth for himself.
Alexander thought of it, but suddenly sympathized with Ferdinand.
He knew that Ferdinand was still very appreciative of Gonzalo. He had offered the olive branch more than once, but his luck was very bad. For Gonzalo, loyalty to a monarch was probably something he could do in his life Out the hardest choice.
Thinking about this, Alexander couldn't help shaking his head gently.
To deal with Gonzalo is obviously going to change the previous strategy, maybe this person will not become an enemy, but how to prevent him from becoming an obstacle in the future is also a very troublesome thing.
And how to solve this small-scale war between Castile and Portugal, but a war of great significance for both sides, has also become a major problem in front of us.
It was thoughtful that Alexander would encourage Manuel to challenge the Castilian maritime forces.
In his impression, with the development of the new continent, Spain discovered and occupied the new world earlier than other countries, and was able to madly plunder the immeasurable wealth from the American continent.
But perhaps it is precisely because these wealth came too easy, the Spaniards did not regard the New World as a valuable part of the Spanish Empire, but purely as a supply place to provide them with gold and various precious spices.
The result is that the Spaniards never considered the vast land as part of their own country. They were crazy and greedy just plundering all the worthy things in this land, and then squandered it uncontrollably.
It is precisely because they have almost no opponents from the beginning, the Spanish talent will not cherish this treasure that God has given them.
And just when they squandered the gift of heaven, England in the British Isles took the opportunity to rise rapidly.
If Spain is the first real world empire since the Middle Ages, then Britain has given the world empire a complete meaning.
In addition to pulling Portugal into this game of competition for hegemony in the New World, there is another, more important role, which is to limit the attention of the Spaniards to the Iberian Peninsula as much as possible.
In the history of Spain, the wealth of the empire came fast enough, and it did not go slow. Even when the Spanish treasury, later known as the rich, was even poor, it had to rely on borrowing money from the rich in the lowlands to maintain their huge expenses.
The reason for all this is that Spain is deeply involved in various disputes in Europe.
The Spaniards can be seen in almost every war, and huge wealth is constantly being wasted in wars that have time and time, or even the origin of it.
Alexander did not want his future empire to repeat the same mistakes, at least the countries belonging to the future "Alexander empire" should not be like this.
The dispute on the Iberian Peninsula can also make the French think that there is an opportunity to take advantage of this peninsula, and this also plays a very important role in Alexander's arrangement on the European continent.
In short, Portugal is like a black fish thrown into the fish pond, and it will definitely stir up a lot of waves.
Thinking of these things that were too far away, Alexander began to wonder how this war should end.
In his memory, it was during this time that historical Portugal defeated Castile's fleet on the Atlantic and occupied the Azores.
But I do n’t know if it ’s bad luck or what, the Portuguese who occupied the sea route to the New World in the Atlantic Ocean failed to seize the opportunity. They wo n’t discover the southern continent because of a very good chance until 14 years later. Brazil, and then after another 30 years, will build a real city settled by the colonists on that land.
Alexander did n’t mind helping the Portuguese to start their New World discovery journey a little earlier in this matter, and he had already thought about helping the Portuguese find a place more suitable for them, such as Cod, later known as Massachusetts The corner is a good landing point.
Gonzalo ’s sudden departure left Castile ’s officers at a loss, and their distrust of the newly entrusted new commander made them worry about the future of the battle.
Alexander's subsequent decision also proved their worries.
Unlike Gonzalo ’s desperate leadership of the army trying to chase down the French army who entered Galicia, Alexander ordered the army to temporarily stay in the town of San Simsoa, and he also ordered the felling of trees to build camps in the local area. The posture of staying alive.
This very different command from Gonzalo puzzled the Castilian officers, and the explanation given to them by Alexander made them even more unbelievable.
"Don't worry, the French will leave Galicia soon, maybe we can stop them here."
This explanation of Alexandria certainly picked up the strong opposition of Castilian officers, but Alexander did not care about their opinions, just when those Castilians secretly wondered whether or not they planned a mutiny, a The unexpected guest came to the town of San Xinsuo.
Seeing that although it was not a long time before they could see each other, it seemed that the old Count Modillo was much older. Alexander slowly walked over and opened his arms to him: "Welcome your dear uncle, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Earl Modillo was always well maintained, but now a wry smile appeared on his wrinkled face, he and Alexander hugged, then backed away and looked at the young man in front of him, then his eyes were light and complicated With a sigh: "I want to say that everything you do makes me proud, but you may already know that this wasn't what I hoped to see ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Is this true?" Alexander secretly told Modillo Reproach smiled inadvertently, "So please tell me, I can one day let the name Joel Modillo become the alias of Castilla or even the most promising monarch in Aragon Worry, or is it dissatisfying to make Zuosha the unified queen of Sicily? "
Listening to Alexander's questioning, Modillo looked at him: "All of what you do makes me happy, but not everyone wants to see everything you have now, you should remember that Krian, he is The Monastery of San Seballon in Kalibo, Sicily, I think you must understand what I am talking about. "
Watching Earl Modillo become gloomy, Alexandre
Oh,
and then he bowed respectfully to Earl Modillo:
In this case, Earl please allow me, Alexander Juliant Gon. Bree, marry your nephew Ruza Kosenza Astamala as your wife. "
Looking at the young man who was seriously waiting for his reply after speaking in front of him, Earl Modillo's lips moved a few times. After a while, he said helplessly: "Forget it, I think the name Qiao Hui is suitable for you. Yes, so you should still be my nephew. "
