Vol 6 Chapter 126: The way to win or lose

In October 1496, an army stepped out of the mountain from a small place called Agrig in southern Italy.
At that time, no one would think that after three years, this army became a powerful army in Europe.
Starting from the day when Agry came out, the battle continued, and he kept fighting with different enemies, fighting in different places, and the victories again and again made the Europeans an unbeaten victory. 'S army has made all the soldiers in this army think they are invincible.
But a place called Tarot Valley completely broke their invincible dream.
Although they faced the French army claiming to be the most powerful in the European continent, although they faced the enemy several times, they could even use them to give the enemy a heavy blow and huge casualties, but the failure was There is no way to avoid the reality.
Regarding this defeat, the reaction from the top and bottom of Montina ’s army was fierce, and it can even be said to be shocking. From the officers to the soldiers, from the Balkans to the hunting guards, the mood of the entire army seemed to be at a low ebb at once. The expression on his face is actually the same as their own, hesitant, dazed and unbelievable.
The Montina army, with its powerful firepower and advanced tactics that can despise almost all enemies, was actually defeated by the French, which caused many soldiers to shake their fighting power.
"Actually defeated by the French, your soldier said so," sitting opposite Alexandria and eating aromatized trout Laosha said interestingly, "You should listen to their tone at that time, it seems like it is ridiculous to lose to the French." Thing. "
Alexander took a glass of wine and took a sip. The unique sweet drink made him nod slightly. This distilled wine made from sucrose tastes not as good as the rum in memory. Think about it. Nowadays, Alexander does not care so much.
The key is that this wine is much cheaper than wine. Even the most inferior wine is much more expensive than this rum. For Alexander, at least the famous cultivation has not been promoted in the New World. Before the garden, the sugarcane garden in Crete was his treasure house.
"It's a bit ridiculous," Alexander's answer made Ruosha raise her eyebrows gently. "I mean, it's only now that the first real defeat has been fought."
Ruosha unexpectedly wanted to say something, and then she couldn't help laughing lightly: "Do you still think you should beat it earlier?"
"I think that with their arrogance, they should have received some lessons before this," Alexander said, picking up the report sent by Gompati. "Look at this, they haven't changed since they defeated the French for the first time. Any tactics, but still waiting for the enemy centered on the town of Tarot, their purpose is just to defeat the French again for the second time in the same way, but this time they have suffered a loss, because the French not only Increased strength and also understood how to deal with them. It is not a simple failure, but a challenge to all the tactics used by the Montina army so far. "
Ruosha thought for a while and then nodded slowly. She couldn't help but admit that Alexander was right, which even reminded her of her experience in the Balkans.
"You're right. If I met those Ottomans in Slobozia city a little bit smarter, maybe the result is not that way. I have to admit that the most powerful firearms may not play the best role. "
Russa's words made Alexander quite gratified. He actually had the same concerns about Russa. She was worried that she could not accept the frustration of failure because of indulgence and powerful weapons. But now it seems that his sister is really a smart girl.
"But don't you worry, the French seem to be preparing to attack Genoa." Ruosha asked in a pointed way. "That might make you face a difficult choice."
Looking at Lu Sha's seemingly impish look, Alexander couldn't help but smile bitterly, he knew what Lu Sha was suggesting, and now he was indeed facing a somewhat subtle choice.
Even at this time, in fact, Alexander was not completely standing on one side but was still free. He besieged the French army that occupied Naples and expelled the French army in Pisa. His army was still given to the town of Tarot The French caused a lot of casualties, but this does not mean that he is an enemy of Louis XII.
On the contrary, at this time, he showed enough strength and determination to break the wrist of the Dharma King. In the eyes of many people, it is just to increase the chips for the next talk.
Even Ruosha thinks so.
This was nothing. It was the same for all wars. It is for this reason that the British-French War has fought for more than 100 years, while the Italian War will be fought for 70 years.
But for Alexander, there is a little trouble now, that is, he needs to choose between Alexander VI and Old Rovere.
Alexander VI's intentions were in harmony with the French, and the old Rovere, whether for his personal needs or his responsibility to Genoa, had made him almost publicly stand on the opposite side of the French.
This poses a big problem for Alexander. After all, as Barrondi ’s husband, he seems to be closer to Old Rovere, but as the father of Lucrezia ’s daughter, he is very different from the Pope. Relationship.
What is more important to Alexander is that the Ladia gold coin, which is an important pillar supporting his trade union, was issued through the Vatican, which made him absolutely unable to break with Alexander VI.
"This is indeed a troublesome thing, but fortunately this failure helped me." Alexander smiled to Ruo Sha "Speaking of it, I didn't even think it would be the result."
Ruosha showed a thoughtful look, and she tilted her head slightly, her head tilted slightly, a look that seemed to be pondering the meaning of Alexander's words, and the focused look made some fascinating Alexander quickly bow his head and took a drink.
"Don't think about it, I'm going to remove the siege of the royal palace." Alexander covered up his gaffe with drinking. Speaking of this defeat, of course, how much of the arrogant Montina army gave a hard lesson, But it also reminded Alexander that the enemy he faced was definitely not as simple as he thought.
"You are going to release that Charlene?" Luo Sha asked a little unexpectedly.
"To be precise, a deal with Louis," Alexander raised his hands in a helpless gesture. "I can sign a neutral agreement with the French, on the condition that I can lift the siege of Charlene, and the French must Make sure not to cross the Lombardy area. "
Ruo Sha's beautiful big eyes narrowed slightly, which made Alexander hurry down and ate a large piece of chopped fish sauce, but the taste of the fish sauce in his mouth did not feel much.
"You are not so good, this will annoy your wife's father." Luo Sha's eyes widened slowly, and then seemed to say nothing.
"Barendi will explain to me that Montina's interests are the most important thing for her today." Alexander said first, and then involuntarily explained "fiancee, she is still my fiancee now."
"You are not good like this, and will annoy your lover's dad." Luo Sha still said in a casual tone.
"Lucrezia needs to think about Estelles's interests. After all, she is her mother," then Alexander continued. "She is indeed a lover, and I even feel guilty for this."
Ruosha slowly raised her glass with a blank expression, looked at Alexander's face, and drank the rum in the glass.
Charlene, commander of the French occupation forces in Naples, had a hard time.
As a former commander of the Roman occupation forces, Charlene had enough experience to rule the occupied area. It is precisely because of this, when choosing the candidate for the commander in Naples, Louis XII did not choose Pros, who was committed to this position. Earl Wang, instead of choosing other nobles who thought he would be qualified for this position, chose Challen.
This is indeed an honor, because it can not only exercise the great power like a king in the occupied area, but also means that the person who holds this position in the future is likely to become the chief minister of the French court.
The French court has no palace, which means that almost every minister has the opportunity to become or replace others as the chief minister in front of the king.
As an important figure in the command of the occupied area twice, Charlene was obviously a strong candidate for the chief minister.
It ’s just that Charlene is now trapped in the Royal Palace of Naples. With the high wall castle and the adequate food storage in the Royal Palace, Charlene still has some confidence in insisting on the arrival of reinforcements, but for the present situation, he It is really unforgettable.
Charlene did not complain about Alexander ’s near-sneak attack on him. After all, all the agreements between the two parties were more private secret transactions, and these things could not even get in the sun, otherwise the French might have to go to Aragon There is a battle, so Charlene has nothing to blame for the Neapolitan offensive.
But this does not mean that Charlene will forgive, or understand Alexander.
During the period of the siege, he had been imagining why Alexander had suddenly attacked the French army until he heard that the coalition of Gonzalo and the Venetians landed southwest of Crete.
Charlene didn't know what kind of deal there was between Alexander and Gonzalo, but he quickly noticed the change.
Charlene felt that he had discovered something, but he was uncertain for another time. The occlusion in the castle made him unable to understand what was happening outside until one day Alexander sent his army chief as an emissary.
Charlotte was very indifferent to Alfred's visit. After listening to Alfred's wish for a truce, Charlene was a little surprised first, and then he suddenly felt something guessed.
"Tell me Captain, what's wrong with your count," Charlene asked casually, but his body wrapped in the black armor was already tight, although he did not get an answer from Aufrei, but He quickly went on to say, "If I am not mistaken, your count should not be in a good position now, otherwise he will not proactively propose a truce."
Aurelly looked at Charlene quietly. He remembered that the Earl had said that the French might be able to guess what had happened before he came, and the Earl was not against telling him what had happened, but Orphan Ley didn't want to tell Charlene the truth so easily.
"My count hopes that you can surrender the palace peacefully. After all, this palace is of vital importance to the royal family of Naples. In order to satisfy Her Majesty, the count believes that the armistice is now the best result for both parties. "
"Is that true," Charlene looked at O'Leary. "Or actually, as I said, your earl need to use me to deal with the king, tell me what it is, and know if my deal is successful , I have to leave Naples, maybe I will meet on the battlefield in the future, but everything here is over, so why do n’t you tell me? "
Aufrei pondered a little, then nodded slowly: "Master, in fact this may be good news for you. The Earl needs you and your army in exchange for King Louis's neutral recognition of him."
Charlene's breath suddenly became a little quicker. He cast his attention on Aufrei. Although he knew that it was unlikely to get much useful information from this Montina, he had already vaguely guessed Possible.
"Captain, maybe you can tell me more things, such as whether the French army is marching towards Rome." Charlene looked at Aufrei, he felt that he had discovered the truth of the matter, which made him very excited.
O'Leary finally did not tell Charalon what happened in Northern Italy, but he brought back to Alexander that Charlene agreed to a truce.
After listening to the report of Ofrei, Alexander said this to Ruosha: "The failure of the town of Tarot Valley was unfortunate and fortunate for the Montina army, unfortunately because we did suffer a lot of casualties Loss, and luck is because we lost very early, so at least we can know more about how to face adversity before encountering greater setbacks. "
"Similarly, this failure also created a reason for me to stay out of business," Alexander looked back at Normezi, who was once again given a major mission, and said to Lao Sha around him, "You know what I hate the French the most." ?"
"What is it?" Ruosha asked a little bit curiously ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I hate their stupidity that likes to swing from one extreme to the other, "Alexander stared slowly at Normezi's slowly disappearing back "And this time I want them to pay for this stupidity. "
At the end of November 1499, Normezi, who was assigned to the Earl of Montina, appeared again in the barracks of King Louis XII, just as when he had just caught up to Louis' victory over the Milan army, but this time he saw that he was going to Genoa The French army that launched the attack.
What surprised Louis XII quite a bit was that while Alexander offered to exchange the freedom of the besieged Charlene for neutrality, he also put forward a condition that surprised Louis XII.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to provide you with a fund that is necessary for you, and the exchange is to make sure that you defeat the emperor's army before 1500."
