Vol 4 Chapter 29: Giovanni's promise

Few people know who the old man who suddenly visited Giovanni, but Giovanni, after meeting with the seemingly old guest alone for a while, waited for the guest to leave, but Giovanni suddenly The order that was cancelled was to look for Alexander's sullen order, but a few cronies were immediately called up for a meeting,
However, Giovanni sent someone to send a letter to Alexander. After thanking him for helping to remove the threat from behind, he asked Alexander to bring his troops to meet him as soon as possible.
As for the supplies and artillery devoured by Alexander, Giovanni said nothing.
Alexander knew that he had no reason to refuse Giovanni's request.
So he ordered to bring enough food to prepare to meet Giovanni who was confronting Pitilino.
It was at this time that a sudden news came that the two armies confronting Realo were shaken—an emissary from the Ottoman Empire appeared in Rome.
This man's name is Hoasan Folgazi Ashurk, a messenger from the East, the plenipotentiary envoy of Ottoman Turkish Sultan Bayesert II and all kinds of identities.
If the news has n’t been surprising, then the mission of the Sudanese emissary who took the boat through Sicily and then disembarked at the harbour near Rome was enough to make people pay close attention to his trip.
According to the news, the Sudanese messenger came to deliver peace to his master, which originally made many people not very convinced, and when the messenger brought a letter to Pope Alexander VI After the disclosure, people seemed to smell a strong blood and war.
In the autograph letter said to be Bayesert II, the powerful Sultan of the Eastern Empire expressed his kindness to Alexander VI and his desire not to lighten the war. One of the reasons for this is that he Alexander VI asked his consent to give up sending priests to some places in the east, and at the same time asked Alexander VI to make a commitment as a "noble person who has the same dialogue with Sudan" and would never agree and accept any European The war proposed by the monarch against the Ottoman Empire in the name of the church.
The Eastward Expedition, a major move that has more or less involved the whole of Europe for centuries, has for a long time become a good way for the Vatican to gather people's hearts and show religious power to the entire secular world.
Since the beginning of the century, no European country has nothing to do with the Eastern Expedition. Many monarchs and nobles led their troops to the long road of the Eastern Expedition under the inspiration of the cross. The famous speech of Urban II made countless Europeans embarked on a path of no return to the East in pursuit of spiritual liberation and material wealth.
Even after many years, the Eastward Expedition can no longer attract those who are pursuing wealth to shed their blood on the so-called jihad, but the centuries of disputes with the pagans of the East have been enough for the Europeans to come from the East. Threat is extremely sensitive.
But with the demise of the Eastern Roman Empire and the fall of Constantinople, Europeans have changed from coveting the East to fearing, and the prosperity of the powerful Crescent Empire is gradually overshadowing the Europa continent like an inescapable shadow.
In fact, the Ottomans have taken root in Europa as early as a few decades ago, and the Osmans ’offensive infiltration of places dominated by the Greek peninsula has made southern Europe turbulent. Few people are willing to really face this crisis.
Now the emergence of a court emissary from the Sudan finally forced the people of the entire Christian world to face the threat from the East facing them.
After hearing the news of the arrival of the Sultan Envoy called Ashurk, Alexander was camping not far from Giovanni's camp.
Realo is quite a steep place despite its small scale. The Milanese chose to camp here and wait for the Venetian meeting, which was obviously well thought out.
The city of Realo is located at the northern end of an open plain. In front of it is a large plain that can directly reach Montina. There is a river on the left side of the city along the city, and on the right is a piece of land that can pass to the Lombardy area. forest.
The city of Realo is located on a high ground that protrudes out of this forest.
The war is actually good news for people in the city of Realo. The people in the city are fighting to sell their goods to Milan and the Venetians. Some women quickly find an ancient business that can make money from a large group of men. With the arrival of the Pope's army and the Genoese, the Realo's business has also become larger and larger, so when Alexander came outside the city of Realo, he saw a thriving and lively scene.
Despite his strangeness, Alexander always felt a little weird about this strange phenomenon.
Sometimes he really has a hard time understanding what the military of both sides thinks. Just imagine that a prostitute who might be doing his own business was doing the same thing on a bed opposite the enemy the night before. Alexander felt There is probably no secret in this era.
So when he heard that Aufrei said that he had brought news from the Pope ’s army about the ambassador of the Sultan, Alexander was not surprised. He believed that the news was heard not only by the Genoese, but also by the people of Venice and Milan on the opposite side. .
Sure enough, when he came to Giovanni's camp, when he saw the big uncle with a strange look on his face, he was attracted by the words spoken by Calgino who came earlier than he did. attention.
"We can't be fooled by the Venetians. They are all pirates who don't believe in faith. I don't believe that they will obediently truce us. I think we should attack them at this time, and you really believe their gibberish. Was it because of the rumor that an Ottoman might start a war, they were willing to temporarily truce with us? I prefer to believe that Piturino was playing a trick or trick, so I think the best answer is to immediately attack. "
Calgino glanced at Alexander who entered the room while speaking. His eyes did not hide the obvious dissatisfaction. Speaking from the outbreak of this war, it seems that only Alexander has accounted for a lot. Cheap, and whether it is the Holy See or Genoa, it is nothing.
"You are finally here, I hope my food and wine haven't let your soldiers move," Giovanni looked at Alexander, his eyes a little complicated, and he couldn't tell what was hidden inside. Cannons, I hope you brought them all. Know that if we really want to attack Realo, those cannons are a good way to deal with the Venetians. "
Alexander nodded silently. Not only did he bring the cannons, but he also sent a quick horse to Montina to ask Gompati for help, so that he must send himself a few cannons who can make sense.
Alexander did not have any illusions about establishing a career in the next battle with the Venetians. After all, with his army of less than 2,000 men, in this war where the number of troops on both sides reached nearly 0000, it really could n’t get up. What a big effect.
Since this is not as good as a pure temporary artillery.
As for the return of those artillery pieces to Giovanni, Alexander had no idea.
"I brought those artillery pieces, but I do n’t think I can use them now." Alexander looked at Calgino. "I ’ve heard about the messenger of the Sudan on my way. If this is true, maybe we will soon There is no need to fight this battle. "
"Maybe so," Giovanni glanced at Calgino, who was about to speak. "The Venetian also sent someone to negotiate with us, but if the Ottomans really want to wage a war, I think then The Venetian is busy enough. "
Alexander nodded, he knew what Giovanni meant.
As a peninsula, the Italian foot stepped deep into the Mediterranean Sea from the land of the European continent, and the ankles that submerged the ankle from both sides were the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Adriatic Sea.
Just as Genoa is at the top of the Tyrrhenian Sea, Venice is also at the top of the Adriatic Sea, and together with the Italian peninsula, the Adriatic Sea is intertwined, even separated from Taranto, which is regarded as an important port by Venice The Adriatic Sea confronts the Balkan Mountains, where the situation is now volatile.
Bayesert II of the Ottoman Empire is now coveting this land.
And once the Sudanese army really occupied this land one day, not only will the Venetian fleet be the first to be completely blocked in Adriatica, unable to enter the Mediterranean, and even the entire Italy will be faced with the possibility of being met by Ottoman. A huge threat of total invasion.
By that time, the Ottoman fleet only had to depart from the Balkans, crossing the narrow Adriatic bay of less than 2 days, and then began the wanton ravages of all ports along the Italian coast.
Alexander believed that such a possibility would make people feel creepy if they think about it. It should not only really scare the Venetians, but also scare the whole of the Christ world.
Although he alone knows that such worries have never really occurred, if only from the current situation, the Ottoman Empire launched a war of total invasion against Europe, it is indeed what is happening.
And Alexander didn't doubt it at all. The Ottoman sultan really intended to do so.
"Do you think the Venetians will negotiate with us for this?" Calgino asked Giovanni. "Even then they will put forward conditions that are absolutely unacceptable to you, and then they will put you fully responsible after rejection. In your body, I believe that the Duke of Venetians will do such a thing. "
Giovanni ignored Calgino and looked at Alexander.
"Tell me what you think about this," Giovanni asked. "I know that the only thing you care about now is your Montina, but you have to understand that if you can't solve the Venetian troubles, your Montina will always be. Threatened, not to mention there, "Giovanni rolled his eyes slightly at the word" Milan. "
Hearing the Milanese, Alexander felt compelled to speak.
After all, the reason for the war was Giovanni Sforza ’s death, and now his inexplicable relationship with Lucrezia makes him at least stand with the Borgia family in appearance.
"We can prepare to attack, but the time can be late, so that we have given the Venetians the opportunity, if they want to send someone to negotiate it will be as soon as possible, otherwise we will go to war."
"That Pitilino was simply not qualified to negotiate," Calgino still tried to persuade them. "Unless he is the governor of Venice, he doesn't make any sense even if he sends someone."
"So that's why I want a temporary truce," Giovanni stood up and made a gesture to Alexander. "I'm waiting for him to send someone to Venice to ask what to do."
Giovanni greeted Alexander and walked out of the room, leaving only Calvino's dissatisfied whisper.
Giovanni's private room was in a courtyard in the middle of the small town where they were stationed, and he walked slightly through the wall that had been removed in front.
As soon as he walked into the room, Alexander suddenly wondered if there was an assassin with a sharp blade ambushed in the room, and when he walked in, Giovanni came together and attacked.
But what disappointed him was that there was only one woman who looked good in the room. When Giovanni came in, the woman bowed to salute and then retired after serving them two glasses of wine.
Then Alexander looked at the glass of wine that Giovanni couldn't stop playing with, and couldn't help but have the idea of ​​making a mess like a cup.
"How did you do it?" Giovanni suddenly asked with interest. "I mean, how do you make Lucrezia like you? You know that she is my sister. I know her too well. Lucrezia is A spoiled child, she can get everything she wants, but nevertheless she never violates my father, and you can not only make her like you, but even make her stay in Pisa for you Ken returned to Rome, Alexandria, Alexandria, it seems that I really underestimated you before. "
Giovanni said that he was looking up and down at Alexander. After glancing at Alexander with interest, he lowered his voice and said, "Maybe you made her want to stop in some ways. Know Giovanni Sford Erza ’s reputation in that respect is not very good. "
Alexander stared at the destined uncle, looking at his ambiguous eyes, and suddenly there was an urge to punch him in the nose.
"But I'm Alexander who supports you ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Giovanni stretched a finger forward with his hand holding a glass of wine." I think you should have heard that Caesar is now in Naples. His mission is to Lucrezia found another husband. "
"I know." Alexander nodded.
"So, if I support you in the matter of Lucrezia, then I also hope to get your reward," Giovanni looked at Alexander. "I need someone to negotiate for me, I mean if Pitiruno When negotiating, I need someone to negotiate with me and sign an agreement. "
"If I understand correctly, you need a person, Duke, even if you sign the armistice agreement on your behalf, but you will not have to bear any responsibility for losing your faith when you need to repent in the future."
Giovanni punched hard.
"Alexander, you are always so smart, I just like you."
"It seems that you have made a decision on how to deal with the Venetians, but this armistice agreement seems to be important to you," Alexander suddenly smiled gently. "So if I promise you, what can I get, please don't say that you will support me and Lucrezia, we all know that is unlikely. "
Giovanni stared at Alexander for a moment, then lowered his lips.
"Okay, you can get the artillery and other things that you stole from me," Giovanni pointed to Alexander. "You can now transport them into your castle justifiably, besides I I can plead for you in front of my father, knowing that he now ca n’t wait for a holy war against you. "
After the playful words, the playful look on Giovanni's face suddenly disappeared, and his serious eyes looked at Alexander.
"I mean, I can help you with Lucrezia, or help myself."
