Vol 7 Chapter 172: 1 place to start

Elliott of Taranto, the only son of Count Taranto.
Compared with the noble young masters of this era, Elliott is not very prominent, and sometimes even cynical, but he is a reliable person.
At least this time he successfully completed his mission.
When he heard that the commander of the Aragonese Expeditionary Force was Earl de Sanchurd, Ruo Sha couldn't help but think of the description he had heard from his uncle about the earl.
"Be brave, be firm, don't hesitate once you set your goals, and be stubborn like a donkey."
This is Earl Modillo's evaluation of Earl de Sanchurd.
In the past, Zuosha once regarded Uncle's evaluation of the Iberian nobles as an anecdote about his long-term stay in the peninsula, but now she already knows that Count Modillo is not only interested in those people, or It is simply like to talk about the length of people.
Perhaps knowing that one day they will become natural enemies with those people, Count Modillo is very concerned about all the Iberian dignitaries he has encountered or heard of.
Do not hesitate once you set your goals. Such a character seems to be a necessary condition for success. Anyone who wants to succeed must have persevering beliefs to be eligible to touch the fruits of victory.
But stubborn like a donkey ..., this may not be a problem most of the time, but once it is too stubborn, it will often bring bad or even opposite results.
Earl de Sanchurd was obviously firm, but more stubborn, which meant that when he set a goal, even if the situation changed, he was often more willing to believe his judgment than the fact that he might be wrong.
When sent to Messina by Elisa, Elliott, in addition to being a messenger to greet the Wallachia, also had another more important task, that is, to find a way to persuade Sophia to accept what Elsa proposed plan.
Some Earl de Sanchurd, who had a wealth of war experience before, would not see a wonderful fighter plane appearing in front of him. The advance of the coalition forces led to the in-depth situation of the separate forces enough to lure a cautious general to take the initiative to attack, and Earl de Sanchurd is more courageous and decisive than those who are cautious.
This natural and adventurous earl once showed extraordinary courage in the movement to regain the lost ground. It was that kind of bravery that made him trusted by Ferdinand.
More importantly, the Earl firmly believes that the Aragonese fleet can block Sicily once it returns, which means that even if it is at a disadvantage in the land battle on the island, once the retreat is cut off, the coalition forces will definitely face a fate of defeat.
It is precisely because of such fear, that the bold and brave Earl de Sanchurd will naturally not miss such a good chance of breaking, and once the Wallachia lonely advance, it becomes an ideal goal. .
The Naples coalition was stationed in Ragusa, and the Wallachia were in Noto. This distance is not far away, but it is not too close. It is just enough time to allow a surrounded army to attack the enemy and break the enemy.
It was such an illusion that Laura arranged for Count de Sanchurd.
When she summoned the local nobles in Ragusa, demonstrating the majesty and kindness of the Queen of Sicily, the Allied forces had quickly marched towards Noto, and for this rusa did not even visit the battlefield but stayed in Ragusa to confuse Aragon people.
It's just that this careful plan is facing a very important problem, that is Sophia.
Whether she could persuade Sofia to accept the plan, or even persuade her to firmly attract the Aragonese to put her cherished dragon cavalry into the battlefield to confront the Aragonese army became a very important question.
So Ruosha sent Elliot, who seemed to her to be convincing, to Messina.
For Elliott, this trip almost turned into a nightmare. For the first time, he really saw how terrible the legendary female grandfather was. If it was not for the old Greek who tried to dissuade him, he might have been The female Grand Duke was hacked to death.
Sophia decided that Ruosha wanted to pit her, at least she felt that the Dragoons might pose a threat to her proud Grenadier, so she came up with such an idea of ​​attacking her with the Aragonese hands.
So although Elliott tried his best, not only did he not get the effect, but on the contrary, he almost suffered because he angered the female prince.
The plan was finally realized because Sophia changed her mind.
However, this is not without cost. After some consideration, Sophia proposed a condition that Elliott had no right to replace Zuosha promised-she wanted Zuosha to promise to publicly support as the Queen of Sicily. Her son Auguste Alessandro Valleóllo will marry the daughter of King Ladislas II of Bohemia in the future.
This proposal is completely beyond the scope of Elliott's mandate, and it also involves an imperial electorate, who has to return to Palermo in awkwardness to convey Sophia's seemingly whimsical idea. Ruosha.
After listening to this condition, Luo Sha couldn't help but fall into contemplation.
Just half a year ago, the wife of King Ladislas II of Bohemia, Anna of Naples gave birth to a daughter, which was both happy and annoying for the old Ladislas II .
After all, he is very old, and the queen is also an older woman, but her body is still healthy, so the two are unlikely to have children in the future, and the queen will not go to God immediately.
So he did not plan to marry a young wife and give him a male heir.
In this way, the princess should be the heir of the bohemian kingdom.
And the bohemian queen Anna was born in the royal family of Naples.
Suo Sha suddenly felt that she should no longer underestimate the wild girl in her mind except for her chest, which was empty.
Even though the idea is likely to be Alexander ’s arrangement, but she was able to take advantage of the conditions at this time, it can be seen that she is not the same as before.
For this condition, Ruosha agreed without much consideration. Of course, she was not perfunctory, but after hearing this, a magnificent future "Alexander Empire" appeared in her mind. territory.
And if she can take the opportunity to expand the influence of the two Sicilian kingdoms to the inland and east of Europe, this is also a golden opportunity for her.
The plan was settled in this way, and before Elliott returned to his life, Ruosha seriously asked him to tell Sophia: "The fate of all of us is in your hands, can we attract the Aragonese firmly? , Even forcing them to take the initiative to attack is the key to everything. I put my destiny in your hands, and our destiny belongs to Alexander. "
Ruosha's reminder or warning was undoubtedly prescient. When the most dangerous moment came, Sophia had a momentary shake.
Although he knew that the coalition had secretly arranged on the back of the Aragonese, Sofia thought about giving up at that moment when he saw the enemy who was rushing towards his position like a tide.
She didn't know whether she could persevere to attract the Aragonese to the offensive across the board. Her dragon cavalry was under tremendous pressure and might even collapse and fail at any time.
The sentence in "The Book of Generals" became the pillar that supported Sophia's persistence. She didn't know how many 5 minutes she needed to persevere, but when she saw that the Aragonese finally attacked across the board, she knew that she would stick to the end. It was her on the battlefield, not the Earl of De Sanchod.
Sophia sat down wearily, and she didn't care about everything that happened on the battlefield.
On December 27, 1501, the Aragonese Expeditionary Force 6000, the Trade Union and the Wallachia Allied Forces were about 6,500, and the two sides fought fiercely with the port of Noto in southern Sicily.
The Aragon army was hit by the coalition forces before and after, and the losses were heavy. The expedition commander Count de Sanchurd had to retreat to the port of Noto under the adverse circumstances of the battle.
The next day, beginning in the early morning, the coalition forces launched several hours of artillery bombardment, and then launched a fierce attack on the Noto port defenders.
Due to the fact that the expeditionary commander Count de Sanchurd was wounded in the battle and his whereabouts are unknown, the remaining defenders of Aragon stopped resisting to surrender to the coalition forces on the afternoon of the 28th.
In active service, the Aragonese Expeditionary Army killed more than 1,100 people, and the rest surrendered.
More than 400 coalition casualties.
The united war of the Kingdom of Sicily comes to an end.
Snow is still floating in the sky, but it has already disappeared when it fell on the ground.
Only the sky was gloomy, and the distant sea also rolled up layers of waves, and the deep, continuous sound of the ink-colored waves rushing towards the shore hit the beach, as if mourning for the ghosts of the dead.
Ruosha stood on the stone slab of the port of Noto and looked at the roaring sea in the distance. Her wide skirt was almost pressed against her by the wind, completely setting off her graceful figure.
Just turning to look at the woman standing there like a proud heifer, Luo Sha sighed softly, and her original good mood seemed to have faded.
The day after the coalition won, Zuosha came to Noto, and even her officers in Wallachia showed extraordinary respect for her arrival.
The whole plan was made by the Queen of Naples. In order to confuse the Aragonese, she even risked staying in Ragusa. When the coalition troops marched quietly towards Noto, there was only a guard of more than 100 people next to Rusa in Ragusa. .
Everyone cannot but admit that it was Queen Naples ’courage and boldness, and her unusually correct judgment of the Aragonese movement, that allowed the battle of Noto to achieve the victory of the Allied forces with a victory.
Ruosha's voice undoubtedly reached a new height at this moment, so that when Sophia saw her, she seemed quite cold because she was unhappy.
But Ruosha didn't care about this. She knew that she and Sophia might not get together in her life.
But it doesn't matter, in Ruosha's view, as long as Sophia can guarantee that the future "Alexander Empire" will be more powerful.
Just looking at the bohemian woman who looked more like a scourge after having a baby in front of her, she was a little bit uncomfortable.
Seeing Sophia's impatience, Ruosha beckoned to let her followers send her a thick cloak. She didn't want to stand on the seashore like the woman who was healthier than a heifer.
"I know that many people are worried now that some people in the Aragonese fleet, even in the coalition, believe that once they are blocked, not only will our previous victories disappear, but they may even be trapped in Sicily because of the intercepted retreat."
Sophia made a "hum" in her nose. She knew that Ruosha was right. After the joy of defeating the Aragonese Expeditionary Force, many of the coalition generals immediately saw the next potential threat.
It's just that even knowing that this is indeed a problem that everyone is facing, she can't help but feel uncomfortable looking at Ruo Sha's seemingly always under control.
"I don't think we all need to worry so much. It's not easy for the Aragonese fleet to come back." Ruosha said, looking back at the choppy sea in the distance, the wind blew her hair away, so she simply looked scattered. The hair accessory was picked off and thrown casually on the ground, then she lifted her head and let the icy snowflakes fall on her face.
"Alexander promised me that one day he will take me to the other side of the sea to see. He said that there is a new world in the farther west that we do n’t even know about. I only hope that by that time, whether it ’s you or something The woman became his burden. "
Sophia stared at Ruosha with a dull complexion. She didn't really understand what Ruosha said, and she didn't look forward to the so-called new world.
Those places are too far away, and she now hopes that her son and daughter will have a large enough "home".
Of course, if there is still Alexander in this family, that is the best.
Two days later, the coalition forces entered Kalibo.
The Aragonese army defending Kalibo did not resist. They chose to lay down their weapons and surrender to the coalition forces, while the Aragonese fleet carrying the expeditionary forces immediately left the port of Kalibo and withdrew towards the island of Malta.
Kalibo once again ushered in a new conqueror, but this time it was a queen and a female duke.
When the local officials of Kalibo introduced the situation of Kalibo to the two distinguished ladies, what surprised them was that the queen suddenly and interestedly asked if there was a monastery called San Sebalon.
After receiving an affirmative answer, the Queen of Naples immediately showed a very interested look, and immediately decided to visit the monastery.
The Queen ’s move surprised the officials quite a bit. Although it could be explained by the Queen ’s piety, it seemed that she was excited but it did n’t seem like it.
It ’s just that Sophia is obviously not interested in visiting the monastery. She is now learning to write letters. Although the letters are very difficult to spell, but because these letters are written for the waitress who takes care of her children in Wallachia Officer, so she still patiently told her to take good care of his children, lest she forget anything.
When Russa came to the Abbey of San Sebaron, the Abbey, who had been notified in advance, had opened the door that was closed all the year round, and looked at the Queen of Naples, who walked slowly along with the entourage, the Abbey ’s A strange look flashed in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, you are so pious that you will be blessed by God, and it is an honor for all of us to be the protector of the monastery." The monastery accompanied the young queen in the monastery and walked slowly to her from time to time. Introducing everything here, and do n’t forget to praise the queen with a proper compliment, but it sounds more like someone is suggesting that
it ’s time to pay for it.

It's a pity that the Queen didn't seem to understand the obvious suggestion from the dean, she just visited the monastery with interest, until she suddenly stopped and intentionally or unintentionally opened the distance to the monastery, and then it seemed very Randomly asked: "Where is the dungeon of this monastery?"
The monastery's look changed instantly. He wanted to calm himself down as much as possible, just looking at the queen's unsmiling look. At this moment he realized that he might be in serious trouble.
"I know there is a dungeon here," Ruosha stood at a safe distance and looked at the monastery in front of him. "Actually, I don't know who you are, but I think there is someone you should know, that is, he told me that you might Will be here. "
Listening to Rusha's words, the monastery slowly raised his hand. His action immediately aroused the vigilance of the guards around them. They all took out their already prepared muskets, and a row of black holes were aimed at the monastery.
"I think I know who you are talking about," the monastery who slowly took off the hood showed a face that was indeed strange to Rusha, but if Alexander was here, he must be familiar with this person. " I think your uncle Count Modillo told you, but I do n’t think he told you who I am. "
Saying that, the monastery spread his arms respectfully and paid a tribute to Zuosha: "Salute to you, Your Majesty, Klien is willing to serve you."
Galicia is very warm in winter. At least in Alexandria's memory, Galicia's warmth became prominent when abnormal weather that lasted for several years affected more than half of Europe.
Especially in this coldest and frosty day, other places are already snow-capped. Even in Iberia, there are many places where the bones are cold The clothes are also very special.
The group of women's clothing has the gorgeous colors unique to Galicia.
In fact, the impressed Spanish girl with flaming red lips was gradually evolved from the Galician locals. In many years, the unrestrained and obsessed image was even once the same as that of Galicia. Like the bullfight that originated, it became a symbol of Spain.
But now Galicia is a very special place in Castile.
The intricate relationship with Portugal has made Galicia always regarded as an alien of Castile, and even many local nobles are regarded as the accomplices of the Portuguese in the court of Barialidod. Www.EbookFREE.me ~ Especially After Manuel first launched the war, it was already proposed in Barialidod whether he should immediately send troops into Galicia to prevent the locals from colluding with the Portuguese.
A team of horses on the other side of the river quickly attracted Sher's attention, and he beckoned the Balkan guards next to him.
Looking at the knights who had stopped on the other side, Alexander stood up from the stone he was sitting on.
Gonzalo, who was dismounted, came to him with the river flowing. When he stepped ashore, he immediately ripped off his wet boots, and walked barefoot to Alexander.
After a silent pause, Gonzalo finally spoke: "Duke, I don't know why you came to Castile, but it doesn't seem to matter. I want to tell you something."
Speaking of which, Gonzalo seemed to throw a deep breath out of the dullness that had accumulated on his chest, and then went on to say, "Your Majesty, it may not work."
