Vol 3 Chapter 166: Unexpected encounter

Although it was a bit far away, O'Leary could be sure that he was a man and a young man.
Seeing the figure of the horseman, the marching officer's face sank slightly.
But even then he didn't dare to think about this fat nun, but he was even more annoyed.
Aufrei is still a young man. Most of his previous 20 years were spent in the village of Agri with his parents. Later he became an apprentice to his uncle, the old Aufrei, although Leaving the land, but just changing places, and then dealing with stones all day long.
In the mind of Aufrei, the nun is undoubtedly noble, pure, even sacred and inviolable. Even if he sees a young man coming out of it, he will not have any weird contrary. How can they be dissatisfied with such different treatment, but still can't think of any other way.
So although Alfrei has fully demonstrated its rare talents in exploring the terrain and keenly realizing that it has a close relationship with the military, it is not better or worse in many other things than the slick veterans. some.
So when Alexander took his hunting guards to the outside of the monastery, they saw that they were standing on the side of the road and waiting for their commanders.
When he heard what happened, Alexander secretly sighed, and he actually missed Mahimo a little bit at this time.
If the slipper is there, everything might be easier.
Alexander believed that if he changed to Mahimo, he might not only be able to live in a comfortable house at this time, maybe Mahimo could also find a nun for himself to exchange his understanding and understanding of the Bible in private. .
It's just that the liar is now next to Ruo Sha, which makes Alexander feel a little embarrassed because of the lack of manpower.
"We can use money to impress that nasty nun," Alexander could only enlighten the pure marching captain in this way, but he could only smile slightly bitterly after hearing that Alfred was indignant that other young men could enter the monastery casually. Look at this Agry youth.
In the mocking laughter of the Bohemians on the side, Alexander could only think in his heart: "Sometimes purity is also a good thing."
Facts proved that Alexander's words were correct. After a small bag of gold coins was delivered to the fat nun, the "Bride of God" held back for a while, but only after a short while, they readily agreed to their request.
The town outside the monastery industry outside of St. Deran ’s monastery was immediately busy. A team of cavalrymen entered the town, and soon some houses appeared as busy figures of the maids, as if they were issued by men from time to time. Scolding like joy.
Alexander ’s residence was in a very remote house not too far from the monastery, because of the lessons of the previous attack in the village of San Niro, when Alexander lived in this house, Paul Busako took him The hunting guards surrounded the house.
It wasn't until Alfredi, as the army commander, reported everything, that Alexander was lying on the already-made bed slightly tired.
At this time, he had the opportunity to think about what happened in the past few days.
No one was surprised by Genoa ’s decision to join the dispute over Romagna, or when Venice announced its support for the Milanese, many people already thought that it would only be a matter of time before Genoa joined it.
As a traditional region with the same reputation as the Lombardy region, Romagna has a more profound meaning for historical reasons.
If Lombardy is coveted because of its richness, Romagna, although not as rich as Lombardy, is more striking because of its long history and political influence.
Who can become the master of Romagna means that it is possible to unify the entire territory left by the early Roman Empire!
Just like the Venetians did not hesitate to form an alliance with Milan before they released, Venice will not care about the ugly spot before the Vatican, but no one guessed that the first reason to find a reason to join this dispute is for the Romans although No stranger, but no one thought of anyone.
No one really took the matter seriously to Alexander about the rights of the Castel Nuovo, or no one really thought that the Lovere family was so active just for a daughter as a dowry castle.
Then the only reason is that Genoa cannot tolerate Venice ’s occupation of Romagna, let alone wait for Venice to gain the Romagna ’s power and directly enter the right bank of the Dierian Sea, and then directly block the Genoese in the bay of the Dierian Sea!
Because of this, when Alexander publicly declared his sovereignty over the castle of Montina in the name of Barendi's fiancé, the Rovere family did something that made many people feel that although unexpected, it was quite atmospheric.
In the name of the Archbishop of Genoa, Rafael de la Rovere publicly announced that in view of this marriage, the Rovere family has transitioned the sovereignty of the Montina area, dominated by Castel Nuovo to Alexander ’s name, and Lafort He even publicly awarded Alexander the emblem in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
The green wheat ears represent Agrie, while the castle implies Montina, and Alexander's "geometric badge" finally looks less empty and abrupt.
But what really made Alexander happy was not the badge that looked a bit like it was, but it was Giuliano who gave him an army of a thousand men for his promise.
And it was at this time that Alexander realized why even though he knew that the dangers and dangers in the city of Rome were dying, the old Rovere returned without hesitation.
It was because there was a Genoese army among the French army that occupied Rome.
What people have to admire is that after the French defeated and retreated, the Genoese army did not follow the French, but instead became one of the defenders of the city of Rome. When the coalition entered Rome with a glorious posture Then, this Genoese army naturally became a hero of the liberation of Rome.
For this series of changes, Alexander can only say in his heart, "The old guy is really a cunning cunning drop."
Then he calmly accepted the previous "puppet army" and let them transform into a pioneer of the newly formed "Montina League".
The reason for being a vanguard is that neither Alexander VI nor Old Rovere thought that the army of less than 2,000 people in Alexander could solve the threat from Venice.
Everyone knows that the sovereignty of Castel Nuovo Monti is just an excuse. Since Genoa has made up its mind to intervene in the affairs of Romagna, a war involving several parties will soon come.
1,000 Genoese soldiers, and a total of less than 700 Agri and Bohemian people, this is the full strength of Alexander today, which makes him a little headache, and because he just took over the Genoese, Alexander did not deal with them. Holding too much hope.
This is not to say that the Genoese are not brave. On the contrary, these soldiers who are also adhering to the adventurous spirit of the marine nation are very tough. Whether on the sea or on the land, the Genoese are famous for their aggressiveness.
More importantly, even the most lazy heat-dissipating Genoese, as soon as they encounter things related to Venice, they will become instantly fanatical, just like the Venetians will do whatever they want to overwhelm the Genoese in all aspects. The challenge of the Venetian hot people can never be tolerated.
Alexander was concerned that the Genoese could not form effective combat coordination with his Agris.
While accepting this "Genoese puppet army", Alexander had seen their combat drills.
I ca n’t help but admit that looking at the neatly lined uniformed Genoese shield swordsmen and those crossbowmen with strong crossbows, Alexander is more or less disguised for his men, and looks like a group of warriors Shame.
However, the old Luo Weilei soon generously provided a large amount of money for his army, Alexander was very pleased with the future father-in-law.
It's just that old Luo Weilei has no way to deal with the weird armor that Alexander made for his hunting guards.
The slightly exaggerated shape and undecorated smooth arc on the chest of this armor were once regarded as a joke by Constantine, and even in front of some friends laughed that this armor was purely made for women.
This made Alexander think of what Sophia would look like if he put on his improved breastplate.
But because of this, Alexander was more aware of the difference between the Agris and the Genoese army in many places.
The Agri phalanx is a brand new army created by him, and the Genoese apparently are out of tune with his Agri.
But there was no time for him to reconcile the two disparate teams. The Venetian avant-garde was said to have entered the Romagna region from the east, and their troops were pointing at Realo.
Obviously, the Venetians are ready to converge with the Milanese in Realo, and then go all the way south to fight the Pope's army in the Vatican!
Regarding the Venetians' plans, the old Rovere had already guessed it just after hearing that they had formed an alliance with the Milanese.
Invading Romagna, and then fighting for the dominance of Romagna in the narrow area between the Apennines and the Tyrrhenian Sea, is almost a common means adopted by the Venetians.
The reason why such a simple, direct and extremely rough method has been adopted for many years is entirely because of the Venetian's fear of threats from the back.
As the deadly enemy of Venice for generations, the Genoese know no less than the Venetians.
So they are well aware of the Venetian coveted for the Romagna region for many years.
The peculiar geographical position makes Rome form a wonderful triangle with Venice and Genoa, and the rolling Apennine Mountains erect an insurmountable natural barrier between these three places.
The result of this is that if any party wants to attack others, they will inevitably be threatened by a third party and back off.
For Venice, such a situation is clearly intolerable.
As long as you think about it, more than two centuries ago, the wealthy Venetians could even encourage the Crusaders to capture Constantinople, which is known as a millennium, and plunder the countless treasures in the millennium ancient capital to Venice to decorate them In that water park, you can see how bold and arrogant the Venetians are.
This time, their alliance with Milan clearly made them feel that they could use the Milanese's containment of Genoa and get rid of the threats from behind.
"It is your duty to block Venice near the Plain of Realo."
Before leaving, the old Loweley told him this way.
"The Venetians’ weakness is not their own, but the Milanese. For them, once threatened by the enemy, they no longer have the capital to fight the enemy, because Venice is a city-state, not a country. Although they have money, , But they definitely do n’t have enough troops to maintain several different fronts, even if they can hire a sufficient number of mercenaries, because no mercenary will pay a huge price for a battle even if it wins. Invest all your capital, so all you have to do is to drag the Venetians. "
"It really deserves to be known as the Pope of God of War." Thinking of the old Luo Weilei's words, Alexander secretly embraced the future Lao Zhang in his heart.
This is because he knew that Giuliano accurately predicted the veins and steps of the future Venetian.
It can even be said that Old Rovere painted a blueprint for the Venetians in the coming decades.
The nightmare "threat from behind" has always been entangled with the Venetians, and the Venetians have been unable to get rid of this nightmare during the long Italian war in the following decades.
As Giuliano said, everything in Venice comes from their wealth ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and with the exploration and development of the new world, the Atlantic-based business world will gradually replace the Mediterranean-centric trading circle ,
Venice, a business kingdom that relies on the Mediterranean, will inevitably decline.
Alexander shook his head slightly to get his thoughts back. He reminded himself that this time he should consider how to accomplish the task at hand instead of thinking too much.
The claim made as Barendi ’s fiancé gave him the right to embed a Monti ’s castle on his badge, but if he wanted to really get this territory, he must first stop the Venetian invasion, otherwise he would It may be the same as a famous landless king in history, because there is no territory at all to become the laughing stock of others.
But despite receiving a 1,000-strong Genoa reinforcement, Alexander still had little confidence in fighting the Venetians.
He anxiously got up from the bed and walked out of the house, looking at the busy soldiers back and forth outside. He walked across the narrow street towards the secluded stream.
Paul Busaco followed silently with several hunting guards. They stared closely around him not far from Alexandria. When they came to the creek, the hunting guard walking in front suddenly fell. Suddenly: "Someone, stop!"
Hearing the guard's scolding, Paul Busaco quickly pulled out his saber, and he quickly walked to Alexander to block his body, while staring at the two figures in front of the stream with vigilance.
In the darkness, the voice of a young woman came.
"Are you Gombré of Agry?"
Alexander was slightly surprised and slowly walked up. Through the moonlight, he saw a very beautiful face.
"Miss Lucrezia?"
Alexander's surprised voice blurted out.
