Vol 6 Chapter 128: End of fourteen ninety-ninth century

Europe in the last month of 1499 is not much different from other times in the past.
The cold and damp or bitter winds blew from Siberia, which is still inaccessible, to the east coast of the Atlantic Ocean, or from the peninsula of Scandinavia to the warm Mediterranean shore, in short of Europe. Whether the mainland is Italy, where wars are raging, or other places where the luck is still quite peaceful, in fact, it is still disturbing everywhere.
Although it is the end of the century, in the eyes of the vast majority of people in this world, 1499 is no different from any previous one. People believe that life will continue like this, and believe that the next one hundred years, two hundred years, or even longer afterwards Time will continue as long as the past thousands of years.
But Alexander knew this was not the case.
What the sixteenth century looked like, there will be countless different examples given by countless people, but all these examples only illustrate one thing. The sixteenth century is an era of change, an era that completely ended the darkness before the millennium.
Who will appear in this era?
There will be Martin Luther, which has divided the entire Western church world, or Copernicus, which has completely subverted the human understanding of heaven and earth for thousands of years, and Galileo, who has set his sights on the distant starry sky and the scene of humanism. Tragicomedy was brought to the stage, and the artistic obsession created by countless audiences turned Shakespeare upside down.
These people either raised questions in society about religious that had been ingrained for thousands of years, or openly challenged the everlasting doctrine that has been completely regarded as justified, or criticized those who have been recognized by history Never dare to evaluate the authority.
The sixteenth century is destined to be an era that will completely change too much of the past and create too much of the future. It is this era that has allowed humans to slowly wake up from the long ignorance of ignorance before and cast their eyes on the future that shows the dawn of light. Fearful but curious eyes.
At the same time, the sixteenth century was also an era of true flesh and meat, the New World, the New World. What sounded behind these wonderful words was the brutal occupation and the slaughter, accompanied by the immeasurable great wealth looted from the New World. It is the terrible and cruel darkness of the Indians in that land that was ruthlessly killed.
Alexander is very familiar with these. He knows many things that will happen in this era, and at his age, he believes that as long as he is not so bad, he may be able to witness as long as he lives long enough. Too many moments that are destined to shine in history, and may even meet some of them.
At the beginning of December, the Austrians and the French army fought a large battle north of Alexandria. The two sides of the battle were about 33,000 French troops commanded by the Count of France ’s Langserge, and about 3,000 headed by the Austrian Palace Minister Kotzach. 32,000 Austrian Torino Army Corps.
This is a classic battle that can be said to be a concentrated concentration of forces to form a local advantage. Although the two sides did not form a real advantage even if the forces were concentrated, the French originally faced the total strength of the enemy from the three sides. In a situation where there were once as many as 55,000 people, Louis XII was actually a perfect military commander.
After quickly defeating Montina's army with an overwhelming strength, Louis XII applied pressure to Genoa while quickly mobilizing the army to regroup, and then while Emperor Maximian had not fully awakened from the annoyance of missing the fighter When he came over, he took more than 30,000 French troops and launched an attack on the Kotschah department before he could meet the emperor.
The reason why Louis XII chose Kotzach, which is almost the same as his strength, rather than the obvious weak strength, with only about 18,000 people Maximian, is still because of concerns about the Montina army.
The defeated Montina ’s army chose to retreat east instead of retreating into the city of Genoa, which made the French King breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise this would obviously affect his subsequent capture of Genoa, and the Montina people will make this choice, Louis Twelve thought that this might be related to the intrigue between those in Rome.
It ’s just that the Montina army retreating east did not withdraw from the Lombardy region, and the distance between them and Maximian is not far away, which makes Louis XII very worried that if he fights with the emperor, it may attract Montina Man hits on both sides.
Louis XII was very impressed with the performance of the Montina army. Whether it was the skillful use of firearms or the casualties caused to his army, these made the French King soberly aware that this was a difficult opponent to deal with. The king was most impressed by the fact that even though they were defeating, they still maintained a surprising organization that did not completely collapse. This made Louis XII not doubt that the Montina people might regroup in a very short time. Rising up, if such an army suddenly appeared on his side when he was fighting Maximilian, Louis XII found it hard to guess what would happen.
Therefore, although the Austrian army of Turin is strong, the French King chose this relatively "weak" opponent.
The battle did not last long, or it should have been a long battle for both sides, but it was interrupted by an accident that no one expected.
On December 6, on the third day after the start of the battle, which was not too slow to advance towards Alexandria, the French army immediately attacked the Turin Legion, and then hurriedly ordered to accelerate The advancing speed of Maximian reacted, and a French army that didn't know where it came from suddenly landed at the corner of Portofino near Genoa, and then the French army as quickly as the sky approached Genoa.
In the face of this unexpected accident, the Genoese completely panicked. Although there was such a strong opposition as the Doria family, the Genoese parliament still passed the French to the French under the control of the governor, Vikelle Calgino. The decision to surrender.
In the early morning of December 7, the Governor of Genoa, Viktor Calgino, led the representatives of the Genoa Parliament and left the city to ask the French to descend.
Charlene became the occupier of a famous Italian city for the third time.
Faced with this result, the Holy Roman Emperor Maximian had to admit that his military operations in Northern Italy had actually completely failed.
The French army that occupied Genoa was 7,000. This army was originally inferior to the emperor, but as soon as the news quickly stopped the attack, Louis XII withdrew from Alexandria, and then occupied the town of Tarot Valley for the second time. The total strength of the French army reached nearly 40,000. Although this is still inferior to the 50000 army of the Austrian army, Genoa ’s surrender really hit Maximimian ’s strength.
At the same time, Maximian knew that with the fall of Genoa, the French no longer needed to send troops to Italy by trekking over the land, but only needed to load the troops from the French ports, and then it only took two or three days. A large number of troops can be sent to Italian land in a short time.
On the contrary, the Austrian army has been fighting for more than half a year from Swabian in Switzerland to Italy. Thoughts and war weariness are spreading throughout the army, and even some nobles have begun to show their warfare against the war. disgust.
Even the emperor himself began to be impatient with this war, when he did not know when it would come to an end. Although he captured Milan, he lost Genoa, and the colder and colder weather made the army ’s actions change. It is getting more and more difficult, to know that the planned route from Milan to Alexandria, the Austrian army actually walked for a week before halfway.
But these are not the things that worried the emperor the most, and what Maximian really worried about was the big gold master who had negotiated with Cardinal Loveley, and seemed to have lost interest in him.
Maximian is actually very clear about what is going on. His slackness at the Battle of Tarot Valley apparently angered Alexander, so even though Montina ’s army did not meet him after withdrawing from the battlefield, he took a kind of maintenance. Neutrally strange attitude, Maximian is not surprised.
But he cut off his funds, which made the emperor feel a little uncomfortable.
Since the Fugger family went bankrupt, Maximian once hesitated. He was worried that he might gradually lose its influence on Italy because he had no money to support the army. When he thought that the French might annex those city-states, Maximian I felt sleepy and uneasy, so when the old Rovere told him that the Earl of Montina was willing to provide him with a sufficient amount of money to allow him to fight a war with the French King, although he knew that this could not be a free lunch, but Maxi Mian still readily accepted.
With this money, he was able to reorganize the reinforcements of 10,000 people from Austria and Switzerland, so he had the confidence to start the film with the French.
However, during the World War I in the town of Tarot, the movement of the Austrian army completely angered Montina. According to the messenger sent to Montina, he wrote that when he heard of the defeat of Tarot Valley, the future Earl of Montina The lady roared angrily at the Austrian messenger, and the gaffe looks like "not at all like a noble lady of noble status".
Then, the Montina army was immediately ordered to withdraw to La Spezia, just north of Romagna. This is a harbour. According to the report of the Austrian messenger to the emperor, "The countess thought that if necessary, the Montina army should From there, go directly to the boat and return to Pisa, and this action does not need to be accountable to anyone, nor should it bear any moral condemnation, because 'we have encountered betrayal.' "
The Montina people are unreliable, and worse, their money seems to be unreliable, which puts the emperor in a dilemma. He is not willing to give up the Italian arch to the French, but he has no confidence to single out his opponent. This made the emperor regret some of his previous embarrassment, but all this obviously did not help.
The situation seems to have been completely controlled by the French.
A crackling rain slammed through the glass and awakened the sleeping Alexander. He moved around, and then he felt that his body was numb and sore.
Alexander turned his head carefully and saw that he was nestled in his arms, his head pressed against his chest, and he slowly lay back on the sofa.
The two were covered in blankets, and Alexander guessed that this should have been given to them by Russa's maid.
For the "deep siblings" of the Queen and Earl, in addition to Sher, the people around Ruosha have gradually realized the absolutely difficult relationship between them.
In fact, this was originally a secret that could not be kept at all, especially the close maid and female officer beside Ruo Sha, it was even more difficult to conceal.
An inadvertent look, an intimate movement that couldn't help but when all this gradually became natural, the peculiar feelings of the brothers and sisters were no longer a secret to those around them.
At first, Rusha's maid was really scared by what she saw. She was worried that the count would kill her, because it was really terrible, but after swearing to Rusha that she kept her secret and loyal to the hostess, Luo Sha finally chose to believe her.
"We can't keep this secret forever, and don't you think that someday we might need someone to help us solve more trouble?"
Ruosha asked Alexander this way, as to what kind of trouble she did not say, but Alexander could guess.
Feeling the movement of the younger sister next to him, Alexander slightly owed himself to make him more comfortable lying down.
"It's raining?" Luo Sha opened her eyes slowly. The ignorance she just woke up made her look a little silly. The smart and lively look in peace was completely different.
Alexander smiled. He was the only man who could see Ruosha like this. As long as he thought about it, he felt that many things were not so important.
Ruosha seemed to be awake, she lifted the blanket and sat up from the sofa, then rubbed her aching forehead and walked steadily to the table, picked up the glass and poured herself a glass of water to drink, and then she I sat down weakly and gave a painful moan: "Oh, my headache."
Alexander looked at Ruosha after the hangover interestingly, and then looked at the empty bottle thrown on one side of the table and shook his head. "I told you that this rum has a lot of stamina. You are asking for bitter taste."
Ruosha leaned back, leaning her head back on the top of the back of the chair, and when she heard Alexander's words, she turned her head and looked over.
"I remember you said that Lucrezia was always crazy after drinking too much." Seeing Alexander seemed a little dumbfounded, Ruo Sha couldn't help but smiled, then she asked with a smile, "You know why I think Barron Is Di more suitable to be your wife? "
"Because she looks like you?" Alexander was wondering, and he had always been strange about this matter. Ruosha seemed to have no affection for Lucrezia, not to mention Sophia, of course, Sophia was with anyone. It was impossible to get together, but in comparison, Ruosha did not object to his marriage to Barendi from the beginning.
This made Alexander think for a long time, it can only be attributed to their similarities.
"Because she never accounts for any woman you have," Ruosha turned to lie lazily on the back of her chair, her chin resting on her back with her hand, and she looked at Alexander without blinking "unless that woman endangered her The status may be detrimental to the Gumbre's family, otherwise she will never be entangled in such small things, she is a smart and sensible woman. "
Alexander wanted to say something, but in the end he remained silent. He knew that Ruo Sha was actually good. Barendi was a calm and sensible person. She always focused on the interests of the family. She used to be the Luo Weilei family, now it is Gombray At home, she regards this as her responsibility, and believes that God has given her even more wisdom than many men in order to let her take up a responsibility that even many men cannot afford.
Ruosha stood up, she pulled a blanket over her, and slowly walked towards the balcony.
This room has a large balcony, and a dozen of little angel statues serve as balustrades to support the entire balcony completely above the wall facing the bay of Santa Lucia. Below is a large tree with flowers Although it is winter, the Mediterranean ’s warm and humid climate makes the garden lush and green even in December.
This is the living room where Russa is now in the Royal Palace of Naples. After the French retreated, the Naples accepted the Royal Palace painfully and found that the Royal Palace has been looted. This is the second time this royal palace has encountered such a situation in recent years. The disaster was last done by the army of Charles VIII five years ago.
Although a messy royal palace is not suitable for accommodation, the nobles can no longer wait to ask Ruosha to enter the royal palace immediately, because this indicates that the orthodox royal family of Naples will return again.
Ruosha who returned to the palace refused to return to the room where she was married, and did not move into the room where Frederick had lived as some people suggested, but chose this one that was not very conspicuous in the palace. The suite serves as her living room.
For the reason for choosing this suite, the external statement is that it is clean and sunny, and whether it is for close people such as Schell or Russa ’s personal maid, the reason why the queen chose this is just because the distance to the count is in the palace The room here is relatively close.
It was rainy and rainy outside, and the wet rain fell on the marble handrails of the balcony, and Ruosha felt a little cold and wrapped the blanket again.
"Genoa is said to be snowing," Alexander looked at the dark sky. "This is rare, isn't it?"
Ruosha was a little stunned. She didn't quite understand the meaning of Alexander, which made her a little bit blamed that the rums she drank last night were so harmful that she was still awkward in her head.
"Did you not notice that the winter of these years has been particularly cold," Alexander asked. "This is not a good thing for many people."
Ruosha froze a little again, first a flash of confusion in her beautiful blue eyes, and then her eyes suddenly lighted up ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I remember that the agreement between you and Louis proposed that he should be at 1500 Years ago must end the war in Lombardy? "Luosha asked faintly.
"Yes, obviously this agreement is a deadline for everyone." Alexander said standing on the balcony side by side with Ruo Sha, letting the cold rain splashed from the railing in front of him fell on the body. "It has been a long winter. In the future, the warring parties will enter Dongying for the winter. At this time, a temporary truce will be announced. This tradition has been on the battlefield for a long time, maybe for hundreds of years, but this tradition will change from now on. "
Alexander said, turning his head to ask Rosa: "Did you ask me before why you know why you would like to make Barenti my wife? Now I have to ask you, why do I have to let Louis defeat the emperor?"
Seeing Zuosha's doubt slightly shook her head, Alexander smiled softly: "I must find something for the emperor because I heard that his son is going to Castilla."
