Vol 4 Chapter 190: Late autumn

Nashan, the name has not been mentioned for a long time, and Alexander is more excited than this gypsy. Naturally, the figure that has been engraved in his mind and never forgotten.
In less than 2 years, although it was not too far away, too many things happened.
From the moment when Sicily met unexpectedly, the little figure came into his eyes, and suddenly disappeared silently in the city of Rome, nearly two years away in a hurry.
Alexander felt his hands tremble slightly, and he knew it was because of some uncontrollable mood.
What has Sophia experienced in 2 years?
Where is she now? How is she going these days?
Alexander somewhat resented Ruosha. Obviously Ruosha seemed to be deliberately hanging his appetite, so after mentioning Nashan in the letter, he immediately wrote something else.
About workers, about plantations, about Count Modillo's and their mother's situation.
Alexander hurriedly looked at the content of the letter, and he didn't even pay much attention to the following things.
Perhaps it felt like the torment was almost the same, and Ruosha continued to write about Nashan in the letter.
What surprised Alexander a little was that this time it seemed that only Nashan himself had arrived in Naples, and it was because of the order of the Queen Bohemia.
The Queen of Bohemia is the princess of the royal family of Naples, and the relationship between Nashan and the queen is ambiguous. This Alexander was known for a long time, and it is strange that this gypsy seems to like to be with some noble ladies, especially the expensive of the Aragon The woman pulls a relationship, such as Joanna, the former Roman queen of Naples who lives today.
Ruosha's letter is not clear. She just vaguely said that Nashan was ordered to come to Naples for help. It seems that the Bohemian royal family hopes to get help from Naples, but the specific situation has not been elaborated.
Alexander was able to understand Ruosha's mood, which was originally a rival in love, not to mention the relationship between the two was really bad.
In the winter, Sophia splashed Ruosha with cold water, once carrying a sword full of houses to hunt down Barrondi, and Nashan assassinated Lukrezija under Alexander's instigation.
Thinking of this, Alexander was surprised to find that Sophia seemed to be incompatible with any woman beside him.
At least three other people can still be treated in a seemingly unscrupulous manner, and Sophia has offended everyone.
"Brother, I hope you can restrain your overly rich feelings and desires. If Lucrezia or Barenti can't satisfy your desire for women, you can even consider your lovely sister. I would say so , I just hope you do n’t have too much entanglement with that bohemian girl, because she will cause you endless trouble, I do n’t see anything positive.

Looking at this last gambling-like ending, Alexander couldn't help but smile bitterly. He knew that Sophia's popularity was indeed a little too bad. At least, it was so polite to criticize Ruosha, which was really not much.
But even so, Alexander could not help passing Sophia's energetic figure.
That ’s right, it ’s full of energy. It seems that Sophia always consumes energy. She does everything in a hurry, and she is always so enthusiastic about devoting herself to anything she is interested in. This kind of fullness The motivated attitude is impressive.
Alexander speculated on Sophia's current situation, but then he had to consider his own situation.
Old Luo Weilei suddenly proposed to marry at this time, of course, not simply considering that her daughter had reached the time to get married.
Although somehow the conflict with Genoa turned into a truce, and even the two sides seemed to be very tacit in avoiding another fight, and the Loviré family seemed to remain silent throughout the conflict, but Alexander knew that the old Loviret suddenly proposed to marry, which is actually already Revealed the attitude of the Rovere family to the Governor of Genoa and the Parliament.
Next is Genoa ’s own problem. As for what he can do, he can find ways to mobilize the power within the FTA to provide enough help for Genoa that may change in the future.
This is also the reason why Old Rovere proposed to get married. He needed the full help of Alexander, or the FTA.
After all, although the Rovere family is the most prominent aristocrat in Genoa, this time they are going to be the enemy of almost the entire Genoa.
A slightly cool wind blew, and Alexander raised his head to see the still green leaves floating above his head.
Although it was still alive and well, it was difficult to hide the little gloom that came in the autumn. Alexander looked at the distant mountains. The wildflowers in the mountains were still so fierce, but autumn has really come.
There were a lot of things happening in Tuscany in September, two of which are notable.
One is the short war between Montina and Genoa, and the other is the change of the crown of the Duke of Pisa.
Both of these things are related to the same person, which has attracted countless eyes to Tuscany.
So something that happened in Rome did not attract much attention.
For example, Constantine, the son of Cardinal Rovere, was suddenly awarded the title of three knights.
The award of the title of knight is not a big deal, but Constantine has the title of "Knight of the Lombard Crown" among the awarded titles. This did not attract too many people's attention at the beginning. When it came, things suddenly changed.
Constantine left Rome on the second day of being awarded the title of knight. No one knows where he went. In this city where people come and go, the coming and going of an aristocrat is not noticeable, so apart from some Careful people, almost no one cares where the cardinal's son went.
So no one knows that Constantine's destination is North.
On October 2nd, the weather was getting colder. When standing on the pier in the early morning, looking at the shadow of the ship drilled from the thick fog, Alexander wrapped his cloak tightly.
Accompanying him beside him was Aufrei and Gompati, not the captain of the hunting guard, Busako. When the ship slowly docked, waiting for the springboard to be solid, Alexander took two people. Go up, and then quickly disappear on the ship wrapped in thick fog.
Constantine was in a corner of the semi-open cabin. He was wrapped in a blanket, and he was drinking hot soup with a steaming soup plate in his hand.
Seeing several people in Alexander, Constantine put down the plate and stood up. He and Alexander gave a silent hug, even though they were all dissatisfied with this brother-in-law, but now he is in need of his help.
"I don't have much time," Constantine pouted helplessly. "If Barenti knew that I was passing by a pizza but wouldn't see her, maybe it would be very unhappy."
"You may have to take risks this time," because of knowing Constantine's itinerary, Alexander was somewhat concerned about his uncle. "After all, many people know you."
"As long as I don't go to Genoa," Constantine shrugged disapprovingly. "But I don't know if this is going well. After all, you fought against Milan not long ago."
Hearing this, Alexander just smiled.
Before the city-state, there were too many things to complain about, and sometimes even for a long time, I could n’t remember who was related to myself.
The destination of Constantine's secret trip was Milan. He went to Sforza for help.
If it were not for the marriage contract with Barendi, it would be difficult for Alexander to remember that the Rovere family and the Sforza family were also relatives. This was because the previous war between Genoa and Milan was not at all polite, and Calgino was still in Oral Together with Alexander, the Milanese were hit hard.
"I'm going to Milan this time to ensure that Sforza can help when Genoa goes wrong," he said, and he shook his head a little helplessly. "At least I won't take the opportunity to trouble us."
"I think this should not be difficult."
Seeing that the uncle seemed to lack confidence, Alexander spoke up and encouraged him. This was not pure comfort, because he knew that with the news that the French were about to invade again, the Milanese were eager to find allies they could rely on.
As the culprit of bringing the French into the wolf, Milan's Ludwig Sforza not only did not get a little benefit from his stupid actions, but on the contrary his rich Milan also caused Charlie's covetment.
And this coveted will soon spread to the successor of Charlie, which makes Milan will be a staunch member of the anti-French alliance for a long time to come.
Constantine will secretly dispatch Milan, of course, because he hopes to get the help of Milan itself, there is also a very important mission, that is, hope to get the support of the emperor through the Milanese.
Emperor Maximilian's entanglement with the French is just like that between the Italian city-states, full of all kinds of grudges and conspiracies.
Maximian firmly believed that the French would become his enemies. The reason why he was so stubborn was mainly because the emperor believed that the intervention of the French royal family in Italy made him feel threatened.
Maximian was worried that the French would claim the right to claim Italy as soon as they stood in Italy, which the emperor could not tolerate, because if it did, it would mean that he would soon lose influence on the land.
Today, the Mediterranean region is still regarded as the center of the entire world. Europeans have maintained this self-righteousness for thousands of years. It is not so easy to change.
Because of this, an Italy that not only has a splendid culture and a wealth of wealth, but also has a holy place in the world of Christ, even if it is chaotic, is better than being a forbidden opponent.
Moreover, many people are very willing to see this kind of chaos. At least for many people, only chaos can give them more opportunities.
So if Constantine asks the emperor for help through Milan, the chance of a positive response is great.
Just as Ludovico Sforza asked the French for help, these monarchs have been silently paying attention to the events that occurred on the Italian peninsula. Once they have the opportunity, they will immediately pounce on and bite hard without hesitation.
"What kind of support do you think the emperor will give us?" Constantine was a little uneasy. This task was a bit too difficult for him. Before speaking, he just had to take up his arms and rush to fight the enemy desperately, or in the competition field He used dazzling combat skills to attract the eyes of the ladies, but now he had to concentrate on the troubles he might encounter.
"I think the emperor might directly intervene."
Constantine's expression changed. He glanced at Alexander a bit hesitantly, and hesitantly asked, "Do you think so, will the emperor directly intervene in the war?"
"Will intervene directly."
"Will he send troops to Genoa?"
"This is not good," Alexander thought about it. He really couldn't remember if Maximian had sent troops to Genoa, but he knew that the emperor would definitely not be lonely. "He is more likely to send troops to deter Genoa. I don't I know if your father approves of the emperor doing this, but I do n’t think it ’s a good thing.

"It's really not a good thing," Constantine murmured, his eyes fixed on the cold soup in the bowl. "We just want the emperor's support, but don't want to see his hand stretched too long."
There was a sneering smile on Alexander's lips. He knew that Old Rovere was worried that there might be more changes for too long, so he asked the emperor for help, hoping to solve the internal problems of Genoa as soon as possible.
But if Maximian infiltrated the influence into Genoa, it would be too much for Old Rovere.
Constantine looked at Alexander and finally thought, "Barendi wrote a letter to my father," and seeing that Alexander did not seem to inquire, he continued on his own. "She thinks you have enough Strength helps us, at least you can find some relationship that is enough to move the emperor. "
Alexander looked at Constantine. He knew that Barenti ’s cleverness would sooner or later be aware of his relationship with Kotszach, or even with the Fugel family, and these people happened to be what Constantine said. Those who can persuade the emperor.
It is obviously difficult to persuade the emperor to accept the remuneration without interfering in the affairs of Italy. It is as difficult as it is to persuade the French king to give up his ambitions for Italy.
But Alexander was really tempted by this idea.
Of course, it is unrealistic to try to make the emperor give up on Italy, and no one can do it.
However, through the influence of various relations, it is entirely possible for the emperor to make some compromises about Genoa.
The Alexander Conference thought of this because he remembered the big business that is now in full swing in Hungary.
The Fugger family is thinking of the Hungarian copper mine, and as long as it succeeds, the Fugger family can monopolize the copper market in Europe.
How big this wealth is, Alexander felt that even the most authoritative accountant in the world could not be estimated, because no one had tried this kind of thing before.
It's just that the Fugels now seem to be in trouble. The large-scale invasion that the Ottomans can launch at any time may cause their ambitious plan to die halfway.
This may be too big, so Fogel's most hope is that the emperor can fully support the Hungarian king against the pagans, rather than throwing his energy and money into the bottomless hole of Italy for his personal ambitions.
If you pass the Fugger family, you might really be able to persuade Maximian.
But Alexander knew very well that even the Fugels themselves wanted this, but if they asked for it, they would certainly impose very harsh conditions.
Unless there are reasons why they have to agree.
The reason why Alexander wanted to help the Luo Weilei family, of course, is not just to please the fiancée. On the contrary, seeing the Luo Weilei family is in trouble, although he is not secretly happy, he will not worry about them.
The reason why Alexander wanted to help them is also related to the upcoming French invasion.
Will the old Rovere become a vanguard of the anti-French camp in the future, at least not yet, but if nothing changes, Genoa will inevitably get involved in the next invasion of Louis XII In a war.
What's worse is that Genoa's several wrong choices have caused them to miss various opportunities again and again, causing them to repeatedly fail in the competition with Venice and eventually slip into the abyss of decline.
Alexander didn't want to see Genoa encounter this kind of experience, at least he didn't want to see Genoa that joined the FTA decline.
What's more, it will only take a few more years. After the old Rovere became the pope, he will fully support his family's influence in Italy. By then Genoa can become a bridgehead for the FTA to penetrate Lombardy, and the Po River The rich northern Italy and the deeper inland Europe are very attractive to Alexandria.
For various reasons, Alexander had to admit that he still had to help Luo Weilei.
But Alexander did not want to let this good opportunity pass.
"You know this kind of thing is very difficult," looking at the big uncle's sunken face, Alexander just said, "I may be able to help, but you know you have to pay the price."
Constantine glanced at Alexander. He felt that Alexander at this time was very similar to Barendi. At least in his impression, Barendi should pay attention to whether everything can be rewarded.
"You and Barendi are really a good husband and wife," Constantin muttered. "I have to write to my father to ask ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I can't be the master."
Alexander nodded. He knew that Constantine could not make a decision on this kind of thing, which made him think that if it was Barendi, it might be different.
Constantine's ship didn't stay long in Pisa. During this short pause, he wrote a letter to Old Rovere.
The letter mentions that, as Barendi said, it was indeed possible for Alexander to help him influence the emperor during his mission, but exactly what to do, Constantine asked his father to make a decision.
Because of this letter, Alexander again found a reason to stay in Pisa for a few days, and it was during the last few days that the Venetian messenger came to Pisa again.
Lucrezia refused to politely refuse the Venetian's request to meet, on the grounds that the rude words and deeds of Venice scared the Duchess last time.
The messenger tried his best, but the final result was only summoned by the regent of Pisa, and the princess would never see this rude Venetian again.
When the messenger came outside Alexandria's office, his mood was a little uncomfortable. He guessed that he might be greatly humiliated, but he had to face such a difficult moment as the messenger.
However, Alexander did not show any contempt or insult to him. In fact, he had no energy to pay attention to this Venetian.
He is concerned about the diplomatic instrument signed by the governor of Venice brought by this person.
When opening the national book, Alexander's eyes quickly glanced at the long and tedious red tapes, and then fixed on the most important part.
As he glanced at him, Alexander's face slowly showed a smile.
His guess was verified, Venetian, compromised!
