Vol 6 Chapter 170: Join the battle, join the battle, join the battle

The former king of North Bosnia Rowa ?? Exile in Moldova, as everyone knows, as for this former king who relied on the Ottomans to wear the crown, but was forced to flee with the failure of the Ottomans in the Balkan war and the Grand Duchy of Moldova People have no idea what kind of relationship they have.
After all, although Royère was once a general under Stefan, the two men apparently have embarked on different paths. Even to many people, Royé has betrayed his belief in following Stefan.
So when I heard that he was fleeing Moldova, some people once guessed that Stefan would temporarily refuge him with his old feelings, or he would simply turn him out of the door or even grab him directly.
But many people clearly misunderstood the situation, or overestimated the gap between Stefan's morality as a Orthodox and the rule of being a king.
Stefan accepted Royès, let him take his little exile court in Moldova, and then after about half a year of rest, Royés made his first appearance in early January 1500 Lead the army back to northern Bosnia.
That time, they boarded from Moldova, escorted by the Ottoman fleet, and then landed on the coast of southern Bosnia in the Mediterranean Sea into the Balkans.
The return of Roy was surprised to Hurva, and he had a strong sense of vigilance against this rival, except that because he was backed by the Ottomans for him, Roy in Bosnia was not without supporters.
In terms of dealing with Roy, Osman showed a rather flexible wrist.
In their beliefs, they allowed Roois to retain their identity as Orthodox, and even allowed them to do mass publicity, which made many people, even though they had hopes for Roois, worry about being forced to change their faith. The Bosnians are very happy.
Politically, the Ottomans gave Roua great freedom. In addition to asking him to publicly abandon his right to rule South Bosnia, they only asked the Kingdom of North Bosnia to recognize it as other conquered Orthodox countries. The suzerain and governing power of Sudan are still given the title of king in the name of Sudan.
These are enough to leave many people without scrutiny, so for a time, the exiled courtiers of Roy, strong and strong, posed a great threat to Hurva.
It ’s just that Hilva is after all the king of Croatia and Northern Bosnia. He quickly mobilized his army to launch an attack on Roy, who tried to return to the north. After several small battles, Hlva successfully repulsed the attempt. Ruva, the boss of Bosnia, forced him to return to the south.
In that reckless "revolutionary war", what role did the Grand Duke Stefan play, and people do not know, but from the reception of Roy ?? and tacit approval of his role in his own Domestic development forces, even later allowing the Ottoman fleet to transport this army to Bosnia through Moldovan ports, can already tell how much his attitude on this matter has been.
This annoyed Hurva, and for this reason sent someone to Stefan to sternly word the state book to condemn the incident, and Hurva also had to temporarily suspend the territorial claims against Caniola This is to let Grand Duke Carniola breathe a sigh of relief temporarily.
It may just be that the escape has been suppressed for too long in these years. Hurva ’s strong expansionist attitude after becoming king made the surrounding countries a little nervous. After a moment of retreat, he returned to Moldova to lick the wounds. Luva? Where is it? The bustling started, and some messengers, who did not know where they came from, began to sneak in and out of his small court in exile.
Among them was Prato, but Prato's initial goal was not Roy ?? Stefan, but after hitting the wall, he had to retreat and chose Roy. ??
Listening to Prato ’s report, Alexander pondered the situation. The situation in the Balkans was much more complicated than he had imagined. The only thing he has an advantage now is only some forward-looking impressions of the future situation, such as Stefan because he has always been worried about coming from Poland. Threatened and decided to rely on the Ottomans, and after a few years Moldova will eventually be completely annexed by the Ottomans.
Although the failure of Bayestet II in Bucharest may cause some very different changes in history, at least now Moldova still continues along the historical inertial trajectory, so Stefan chose to defeat the Polish. Immediately afterwards, he showed goodwill to the Ottomans.
However, Alexander believed that Stefan ’s change of attitude towards the Ottomans was only a stopgap measure. For him, whether it was before attaching the Polish to the pagans, or afterwards relying on the Ottomans to fight the Kingdom of Lithuania, his purpose was only To protect yourself.
For this, he can turn his head against any ally and turn any enemy into an enemy, but this is nothing new. After all, it will not take a few years for even France ’s so-called most pious knightly nation to be with the Ottomans. Going together.
"What is the weapon you provided to Roy in exchange?" Alexander asked.
"It was the marble and glass sand he promised, and some other minerals," Prato said, showing the merchant's character slightly disgusted. "They lack those useful minerals. It is said that there are few copper mines in the entire country. This is not comparable to Wallachia and Hungary. "
Alexander nodded slightly. In his impression, Moldova does not have any resources to be proud of. If it were not for the sensitive location of this country, the surrounding big countries would not be so interested in it.
But is there really nothing at all?
There was a faint impression in Alexander's heart, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
However, he didn't care much about this. For him, Prato transferred the weapons that were originally used to bind Stefan to Roy, which is important.
Alexander believes that Stefan and Roy are not just the relationship on the surface, maybe Stefan ’s ambitions were not very big, just thinking about how to save his Principality, but sometimes when the opportunity comes, even if it is docile Sheep also have the ambition to rule the prairie, not to mention that Stefan is not a sheep.
He tried to use Rooi ?? Yes, as long as he just used Rooi as a that can be used to bargain with Hurva, he still intends to use this lost wolf to bite everywhere. I know, but at least now he is willing to see the strength of Roy ?? strengthened.
As for the future, maybe as Roy's strength soars, he will feel threatened, and perhaps it will be time for the contradictions between the two sides to finally become hostile.
How long will this happen?
Alexander glanced at Prato, and it might have been a long time before this happened, but with the private meeting between Prato and Roy, Alexander felt the intimate honeymoon between the "friends" The period may be greatly shortened.
But before that, it would not be Stefan, but Hurva.
Luva, with strong support, will definitely urgently regroup, and then carry out his so-called "Reunification War" again, which will bring Hurva a big enough threat. To deal with this opponent, believe He Erva will try his best to change his attitude towards neighboring countries in order to gain more support instead of pushing others to his enemy.
"Good job," Alexander laughed and applauded. He didn't expect Prato to grow quite well over the past year. He only made a good article using the weapons that he originally planned to send out from his wits. It can be seen that this person has a lot of potential as a diplomat. "You did have a lot of results during this time. Speaking of that, I thought that it might be inappropriate for you to come to Wallachia. Now it seems that this decision is very correct."
Prato showed proper excitement on his face, and then he looked at Alexander seriously, as if waiting for his follow-up.
Alexander was a bit baffled. He knew that what he said before was actually the same as saying nothing worthless good words when he was a boss, but in his view Prato was not at a loss. After all, he heard these days. There are many rumors about this man getting rich in Wallachia. As for Prato ’s luxuriously decorated palace in Bucharest, he has also seen it before. He can only say that although this man is very greedy, he is worthy of taste. Is a friend of Raphael, very artistic inspiration and aesthetic level.
So now looking at Prato's expectant look, Alexander felt a little strange, not knowing what he was thinking about.
He seemed to realize that Alexander did n’t seem to understand what he meant. Prato ’s face flashed a bit of hesitation, but in the end the strong desire in his heart still defeated the uneasiness, and then he said carefully: "His Royal Highness, I have a little request……"
"Well, what do you want to talk about?" Alexander asked with interest. He didn't mind the people who occasionally showed him the idea of ​​asking for it. This is normal. After all, people are willing to follow you.
This is why many people would like to see Alexandria become the Duke of Roma Tesia. As his status becomes more and more honored, the generals and his entourages will naturally rise and rise to meet their needs.
"His Royal Highness, I hope to have the honor to attend your wedding." Prato closed his mouth immediately after saying this, and then looked nervously at Alexander's face.
Alexander opened his mouth slightly, but said nothing, but he almost understood Prato's intention.
As a businessman, Prato ’s wealth can be said to have made many people jealous and crazy. Among them, in addition to businessmen, many nobles also had to look at him with a smiley face on his wealth, and it is said that he Already started to lend money to some nobles in Bucharest. At the same time, he also won a large amount of Bucharest post-war reconstruction projects through relations with the court.
It can be said that Prato is very well mixed now.
But despite this, he is still just a businessman.
He could go deep into the palace of Prague, and freely enter and leave the mansions of the nobles of Wallachia or Croatia, but he knew that there was always an insurmountable gap between him and those nobles.
This gap prevented him from truly standing with the nobles, especially as Alexander's identity changed, but Prato felt that he seemed to be farther and farther away from Alexander's core circle.
He aspired to be a person of identity, and he first worshipped Cosimo Medici, who gradually transformed the Medici family from a pure merchant family to a noble family.
He hopes that he can also become a representative of the creation of the Prato family, so that in the future his children and grandchildren can proudly tell others about the glorious history of his family.
Being able to attend Alexander's wedding was regarded by Prato as a symbol of true integration into the Principality of Romagna-Tuscany.
Especially if he can stand with such people as Gompati, O'Leuil, Uliu, Grogening, or talk with those noble nobles, it will be a big deal for him Better things with pen money.
Looking at Prato's hopeful eyes, Alexander pondered a little and then nodded.
Prato's face was overjoyed. Although it was a bit exaggerated, he was indeed very happy.
Being able to establish a closer relationship with Alexander is important to him Prato, and he has some other ideas.
Prato still knew a little about Alexander ’s women. At least he had some kind of near-natural closeness to Sophia because he made a fortune in the Balkans, which made him conscious of his future.
It is conceivable that he will be labeled with Sophia for a long time to come, which will certainly give him a lot of benefits, but as long as he thinks about who the Duchess of Rome Tesia, he can not help but worry about the future.
So Prato still hopes to make him look more like a Duke than a Wallachia Grand Duchess, otherwise he may not have a better life in the future.
Good days always pass quickly, and spring also moves lightly on the tiptoes, traversing the land of Wallachia, and then glances back slightly, giving this beautiful land to the chase. Summer behind.
The weather is getting hotter and the situation across Europe is changing.
After a winter and spring of friction and conflict, the two countries, France and Austria, who were successfully dragged into trouble, faced their biggest tests since the war.
The French attacked Milan again. This time Louis XII was determined to get it. The French commander, Brogue, who had recovered from his injuries, commanded the French to launch the first offensive against the Austrian army trying to assist Milan.
Maxi is no longer in the army now. After the Milan negotiations failed, he gave the army command to his trusted general and returned to Vienna.
Maximian is waiting for good news. For him, maybe this news will make Louis XII completely bow his head to him.
Sure enough, with the arrival of April, there are more and more rumors that the British may participate in the war. Later, people have begun to discuss whether the British will send troops to enter the war in Italy, or just land directly from the French mainland as in the 100-year war. .
Of course, Louis XII already knew about this matter. While quickly sending a letter to Paris and ordering the close friends who stayed in Paris to listen to the British population, he ordered the rapid recruitment of a reserve army of not less than 10,000 people from all over the country. , In case of unexpected.
Rumors that the British might participate in the war not only caused uproar in France. On the Italian battlefield, because of fears that the British might appear from the Mediterranean, Louis XII had to draw a part of the army that attacked Milan to strengthen Genoa's defense.
This made the war against Milan much more difficult.
But before Ludvik and his Austrian allies had time to rejoice, something unexpected happened.
The Venetian, who had always been ambiguous, suddenly dispatched an army of about 6,000 men to Lombardy. At the same time, the Venetian Governor Barbarrigg took the initiative to write a long letter to French King Louis XII.
In the letter, Barbarig was ambiguous before he changed it, and he clearly expressed his appreciation to Louis XII for the French expulsion of Ludvik. In his letter, he directly called the Sforza family ambitious. The usurper, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has no legal reason to rule Milan, so while recognizing the legitimacy of the French army ’s actions against Milan, he suggested that more qualified people should inherit the legal status of the Duke of Milan.
Louis XII's surprise with the Venetian olive branch is not only a surprise but also a surprise. After all, when this seems to be enemies on all sides, there is suddenly a powerful country willing to stand on its own. This makes Louis XII happy and even doubts the Venetian. the goal of.
After all, Venice is now fighting the Ottomans with the help of the Aragonese, and Maximian is the family of King Ferdinand of Aragon.
This made Louis XII couldn't help but worry about the Venetian's good intentions, but when he saw the candidate of the future Duke of Milan recommended by Barbarg under the letter, he couldn't help but have some headaches.
Barbarrigg recommended Constantine de la Rovere, who had just become the Duke of Forli, which made Louis XII feel a lot uncomfortable.
The relationship between the old Rovere and the French has reached a point of almost incompatibility, which makes Louis XII unable to accept the result of letting the people of the Rovere family finally pick up the duke of Milan, but only the two sons of Ludvik In the battle, with the Sforza family heirs, the Duke of Milan must choose someone else.
Now that the Venetian showed goodwill to him, he also gave him a difficult problem, which made the Dharma King, who is now facing all kinds of difficulties, no idea for a moment.
But soon, Louis XII had to agree to Barbarg ’s conditions.
At the beginning of May 1500, a British army of less than 2,000 men was escorted by the Aragonese fleet through Gibraltar into the Mediterranean Sea. They then stopped in Corsica and then threatened Genoa.
