Vol 7 Chapter 181: Iberia: the storm

For Ferdinand, Isabella's death not only meant that he became a widower ever since, but it also made him into an extremely difficult situation.
The rebellion in the south and the conflict with the Portuguese made the situation in Castile instantly tense. At this time, hearing the report of the failure of the Aragonese fleet was even worse.
Ferdinand is not without such difficulties. When he and Isabella disregarded Enrique's strong opposition to marriage, the situation they faced was not optimistic, even if they later overturned Enrique and let Isabella Became the queen, but they were still not optimistic in the battle with Juana for the Castile throne.
But those are nothing compared to the predicament in front of them.
Ferdinand is now facing real internal and external troubles. He has to deal with those enemies in the clear, and he has to fight against the secret opponents around him. What's worse is that he doesn't know who is enemies in the secret. Even within Aragon, some people also resolutely objected because they feared that Castilla ’s power would lead to the complete annexation of the merged Aragon.
Such various obstacles have left Ferdinand's heart and soul exhausted. In this delicate situation, he is worried that perhaps a trivial Mars may ignite a raging fire.
And his worries became reality.
On the fifth day of February 1502, this was the first Sunday after Queen Isabella ’s burial. All the churches in the parishes of all sizes in Barrialido opened their doors, and people walked into the church for the Queen ’s Soul prays and at the same time bless her to enjoy her glory in heaven.
According to the order of the parish, the Bariari Dodds must wear dark clothes that indicate mourning on this day, and all the shops have been closed for orders. The jugglers who can often be seen on the street have temporarily put away their stalls. This day is the last day of folk mourning for the Queen, and it is also the beginning of people's true confrontation with the "post-Isabella era".
From this day on, Isabella will truly become the history of Castile, and then people will prepare for the crowning of the new queen.
Now it seems that Juana's ascension must be presided over by the pope himself.
Despite the abhorrence of Alexander VI ’s two sides and three swords, Ferdinand sent an invitation to the Pope who is now in Toledo. He asked Alexander VI to crown Juana to preside over the throne and also hinted in his heart that Alexander VI The world provides a "quite rich annuity" as a proof of respect to the pope.
Ferdinand would be so generous because he needed Alexander VI to stand firm for him at this time. When he wanted to come to the pope, he might be waiting for such a good time for extortion, so he decided to satisfy Alexander VI ’s greed. In exchange for valuable time to deal with the troubles facing you.
In the early morning of February 5, people walked out of the house very early, and the streets were full of flowing dark water. There was never a quiet place in the city of Ariaridor like today.
Ferdinand arrived at the cathedral when it was dark. He accepted the admiration of the princes and nobles who had been waiting here, and under his leadership, the people prayed for the last time to the sarcophagus placed in the cathedral's spiritual room.
The spirit room is not small. Isabella is covered with a sarcophagus engraved with a statue of her life. It is placed on the marble table on the right side, and the marble table on the left is still empty. It is Ferdinand. Prepared for himself, he will be placed in this spiritual room with his wife after his death. They will spend time with each other here as a companion.
In other places in the city of Valladolid, such prayer ceremonies are taking place at the same time, and each church will hold a major Queen's Soul Mass throughout the day.
A few men walked along the alley on the dirty water that rained on the ground in the first day of rain. The shaking figures of the two sides of the street were thrown into the alley, making these people even more sneaky.
These people were wearing dirty clothes, and they looked like the beggars who often appeared on the street, but their eyes flickered, and even more cunning look in the crowd's eyes.
"They look really flattering," a person suddenly said to the companion next to him. Although the atmosphere that seemed too weird at the time did not make his companion uncomfortable, the companion still revealed With a thoughtful smile "I don't know how many people go to church to pray."
"Don't care about how many people, it's enough for us," a man who looks like a leader turned around and said to several companions, "Don't be too greedy, sometimes not content will make people lose their heads."
"It's time to teach people again." The man who spoke before whispered a whisper, but he said nothing more, and stared at the crowd who had walked through the interface with his companions.
Gradually, there were fewer people on the street, and then only a few moments later when someone passed by the alley, the eyes of these people began to become impatient and irritable, even if they started to appear calm. His boss has also licked the corner of his mouth more than once.
Finally, the people on the street became more and more sparse, and at the same time, there were waves of prayers in the church not far away.
Several people started to move. They first ran to the side of the alley and looked at both sides. After seeing that there was no figure on the street, they quickly ran along the street toward a house in the opposite direction of the church.
This is the place where the wealthy people of Barrialdo dwell. The houses of different styles extend along the street and the terrain one after another. Compared with the obviously old places like Xueshe Street, they live here. Most of the people are rich businessmen, especially with the development of the new colony, some upstarts who have made a lot of money despite being upstarts are buying properties in the city, and this place has many luxury homes. It became the first choice of those rich.
Several beggar-like people hurried across the street to a house with a large wall, and then looked at both sides of the street to make sure that it was indeed not noticed. Several people immediately climbed the wall with their hands and feet and turned into courtyard.
This scene was not found. The Bariari Dodds went to the church. Many people could only pray for the queen together with everyone in the open space outside because they could not squeeze into the church door.
In the years when Isabella reigned, the Castilians saw a majestic, pious and brave queen, and her status in the minds of the people was so lofty that even a poet used to sigh before her death. The tone of the statement proclaimed, "If such a queen cannot become a saint, then I do n’t know who will meet the demanding standards."
Now, she was finally able to lie quietly in the sarcophagus, and she no longer had to worry about the people of her country, but the Castilians after she left were more worried about their future.
People prayed, some worried about the future of the country, and some worried whether the new queen ’s enthronement would bring all kinds of changes to their lives.
Suddenly, a few panicked figures ran out of a sloping street. These people panicked toward the crowd. They yelled and ignored the solemn atmosphere of the square. People are already depressed.
People in the square began to yell at these guys who did not understand the rules, and some people grabbed the preparations to teach them lessons.
But those people didn't care about them at all. One of them still got up and ran muddy and ran forward. At the same time, these people kept shouting: "thief! Thief!"
The guards guarding the square finally noticed these people. They immediately rushed to force several people to stop with their spears. A leading soldier pulled out his sword and used the heavy handle to hold the one in front. Call a non-stop guy to stun directly.
The chaos in the square attracted the attention of the people in the church. Although a man in a black suit, the embroidered clothes on the clothes came out from the inside, he began to want to impatiently ask those soldiers what happened What, but one of those people became nervous immediately.
"That man is my servant," he said to the soldiers first, and then shouted, "What happened?" To the servant who wanted to rush over to see that his master could not wait.
"Oh, Master, it's awful!" The servant yelled at his master, and his shouts made everyone around him hear "The house was stolen, no! It was robbed!" "
"What did you say, who was robbed?" When the master was taken aback, although he saw that his servant knew that it was his family that was likely to suffer, he asked with a fluke.
"Everyone was robbed, many people were robbed by those thieves! They took advantage of the house owner's prayers and ran into the empty door. Take a look, our family is bad! "
The shouting of the servants caused riots around the people. Although most of the people in the square were ordinary people, listening to these servants, many people could not hold their breath anymore.
Some people just started to look at the people next to them and didn't dare to leave like that, but in the crowd that saw them far away, some people slipped away quietly, and those people could not bear it anymore, and said vaguely to the people next to them If he didn't know what it was, he hurried towards his own home.
The old man couldn't hold his breath at this time. He knew that since his own servants had come to report, the family must have suffered a lot after being patronized by those thieves. Although it was indeed important to do the revenge mass for the queen, but his own loss was also Can't ignore.
He hesitated and prepared to follow the servants back, but the other servants immediately shouted again.
The noisy outside finally attracted the attention of more people in the church. Someone came out to see who was so bold and dared to disturb such a serious ceremony, but the news they brought back, but it also made the church change. Had to be confused.
The priests had to shake the bell to try to warn the religious people to remain quiet, but the majesty of the church in the past no longer worked at this time.
More and more people have become nervous because they have heard about things outside, regardless of whether their homes have been looted or not, because people who worry that they can no longer care about their prayers start to leave the church quietly and ran to their homes in desperation.
This kind of thing happened in many places in Barialidod. When reports went out to attend the Queen ’s Requiem and prayed that someone ran into the empty door, and some of the big nobles who got the news finally could n’t sit still. Too.
Ferdinand, who was sitting at the front, noticed the commotion behind him, but what he didn't say was just adapting to the people around him to see what happened.
The subsequent report made Ferdinand stunned and felt extremely angry!
The Barialides who hurried home to check the situation soon discovered that it was not just themselves who were out of luck. Some civilians 'homes were looted, and some nobles' homes suffered heavy losses.
What is even more surprising is that some citizens rushed back to the gangsters because they heard the news earlier.
Although those people immediately escaped cleverly, the typical eastern Catalan accent can be heard from the tone of the voices that greeted their companions when they fled.
Aragonese!
The Bariari Dodds immediately determined that it was the tramps from Aragon who ransacked their house during the prayer ceremony, and those people were clearly prepared to do a big deal on the Queen ’s Requiem Day.
Aragonese!
On the solemn and sacred Requiem Day, the Aragonese took advantage of the opportunity to rob the poor citizens of Barialidod in mourning!
When someone reported the news to Ferdinand, who was still in the cathedral for requisitions, Ferdinand was shocked and angry immediately, but then J quickly fell into a huge panic.
He was keenly aware that this was a conspiracy. Although he did not know who was designing him to frame him, he knew that this conspiracy must have pushed him to the edge of a terrible abyss.
Listening to the angry shouting of the Bariari Dodds outside the cathedral, the Fiddy can no longer hold on. He stood up and walked to the archbishop to hold his hand and kissed it. A group of noble ministers who had also been uneasy walked out.
At this time, even those Castile nobles who did not have a good opinion of Ferdinand became nervous because they knew that something very serious might happen. Some nobles had ordered the city defense army to prepare for the possible riots. At the same time, Aragon officials sent letters to those places where the Aragonese lived in the city, asking them to prepare for possible riots.
But these orders are still too late.
There were a lot of Aragonese people participating in Isabella's requisition mass. When the rumours that "Catalonia's forty thieves" looted Bari Liodord spread, people looked at those Aragonese eyes. Q gradually got stronger.
Some clever Aragonese immediately fled one after another, or panicked to find a companion to gather together, but the unfortunate Aragonese became targets for venting their anger.
No one knows where to start. Someone shouted and rushed to the Aragonese.
People instantly vented their anger at the thieves on every Aragonese they saw, and they beat those outlanders who did n’t look like Castile along the street, whether they were Aragonese, Portuguese or Where did it come from.
Anger makes people do not want to distinguish the difference.
More people screamed and poured into the neighborhood where the Aragonese lived with any weapon they could touch. Even if a group of urban defense troops appeared on the street, the crowd seemed to be surging and immediately submerged The soldiers of the City Defense Army lined up.
At this time, some Aragonese who had received the news were in a hurry to confine the doors and windows and close the shop, but this could not stop the Castilians who had lost their last reason because of their anger.
They rushed into the homes and shops of the Aragonese and smashed them madly. In some places, terrible bloodshed has occurred.
Ferdinand's most worrying thing finally happened. When he drove to the streets where the Aragonese lived, he saw the devastated devastation and the shocking blood on the ground.
Ferdinand riding on the horse trembles slightly, he doesn't know how many people were killed or injured in the riot just happened, but the plasma on the ground seems to keep reminding him that one may let Castilla and Aragon The huge crack of the split appeared in front of him.
"Order the city defense army to maintain order, from now on martial law throughout the city, everyone who violates the order will be severely punished."
Ferdinand looked gloomy to the generals on the side, he had never been so angry, not only because of the Aragonese encounter, but also because he realized that the riot had threatened him.
The sudden riots made many Castiles nervous. They knew what terrible things the excited and angry people would do. Some of the veterans who had participated in the war to recover the land lost even remembered the occupation. The atrocities that occurred in Granada, they once told them about their atrocities as feats and talked to their children and grandchildren, but now they see these atrocities appearing in Barriado, and those people ca n’t help but start to get scared.
"Please forgive Your Majesty, such an order can only be issued by the Queen," Don Marcos Byrne, who had been silent beside him, suddenly said, his words made everyone beside him look surprised, although soon Realizing that the queen he said was actually Juana, but at that moment, people still couldn't help but have a strange mind floating in their hearts.
"But Juana hasn't succeeded!"
Ferdinand looked at the treasurer in disgust, this person actually refused to hand over the keys and accounts of the Queen's private treasury after Isabella's death, on the grounds that these were for the Queen's heirs.
Looking at him again against the martial law issued by him for such reasons, Ferdinand couldn't help but feel a deep aversion to Don Marcos Baine from the bottom of his heart.
He said bluntly: "I am Juana's regent."
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, Castile's current regent is Princess Juana," the treasury officer retorted quietly. "Unless the queen has now succeeded, and you are officially in charge of the regency, and it happens that the queen cannot You can only perform the regency power when performing her duties, otherwise you must obtain the authorization of Princess Juana to order martial law throughout the city. "
Ferdinand glared at Don Marcos Byrne, who knew that the man was deliberately using these so-called red tapes to remind him that he was not the monarch of Castile, which might not make him irritated in peacetime, but now This made Ferdinand feel that this Don Marcos Byrne was deliberately doing the right thing with him.
But he also knew that the treasury official was not wrong. If he continued to struggle with this matter, it would only make the situation more awkward.
Ferdinand wisely chose to avoid this problem that might embarrass him. He ordered an immediate return to the palace, because Juana, who had been sent back to the palace, was waiting for him.
But what Ferdinand did not expect was that when he returned to the palace to try to find Juana to order martial law in the city as a regent, the answer heard from the servant was that Juana had already taken seriously Philip to the river. Highland castle on the other side.
This made Ferdinand no longer able to suppress his anger and thunder, he questioned why the attendants did not stop Juana, and the attendants told him helplessly that Juana seemed to think that the riots were directed at her and Philip, she thought Those people tried to hurt Philip, so she protected her husband and hid in the Highland Castle.
Listening to this completely self-righteous reason, Ferdinand couldn't help but feel a strong sense of powerlessness.
Although he never thought that Juana would be a promising monarch, and had already made plans to treat her completely as a puppet, he now found some sad discoveries that he did nothing to govern the country. The capable Juana became his stumbling block because of her incompetence.
The anti-Aragonese riots that took place on February 5 in Barialidod followed the people of both countries fleeing from Barialidod for fear of being affected by the riots, and soon spread to all parts of Astilia .
Although the turmoil gradually subsided, the Castilians, who had been deeply suspicious of Ferdinand, were even more estranged.
The phrase "Let the Castilians become the monarch of Castile" I don't know when when it gradually spread in Castile, and this sentence is gradually given a new meaning.
People began to care about the title of Juana ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Previously, the title of "Juana of Aragon" which did not stimulate the sensitive nerves of Castilians has now become the root of many people's hearts that cannot be pulled out. Spikes.
Let the Castilians become the monarch of Castile, this sentence blows through the Iberian Peninsula with the spring breeze of 1502.
It was during this season of spring and earth recovery that an amazing news came from Andalusia.
In Seville, a heir to the throne of the Astamara family also had the crown of Castilla.
At the same time in Lisbon, King Manuel of Portugal announced the formal dissolution of his marriage with Maria of Aragon, and announced the marriage of Juana of Castile.
"It's finally started," after hearing these two things, Alexander in Galicia said to Cher, who was beside him, and then looked at him and just nodded, but obviously not clear The real guard, Alexander shook his head, smiled and patted Shel's shoulder towards the small town in front of him. "Come on for a drink, I'll treat you."
