Vol 7 Chapter 186: Goal: Throne!

Don Marcos Byrne was one of Isabella ’s most trusted courtiers during his lifetime. Although he was different from trusting Gonzalo, for Don Marcos Baine, Isabella decided more because of the person ’s origin. Trust, but for this personal treasurer, Isabella never thought he would betray himself.
Before Isabella's death, Don Macrosbine did indeed be loyal to her, or she was the only one he could be loyal to.
Don Mark Rothbane ’s father is the governor of Isabella ’s domain, which is destined for his family generation to finally be Isabella and her descendants.
His father did tell his son this way, and Isabella had a natural trust in him because of his relationship with the Marklos Byrne family.
Don Mark Lose Byrne had never thought of becoming a traitor because he knew that with his family background, loyalty to Isabella was the only option for their family.
And when he entered the court, Isabella had already eliminated all her enemies, which actually made him have no other choice.
It was just after Isabella's death that things started to change.
Don Marcos Byrne is not a proud person. He is different from Gonzalo. He will not deliberately embarrass Ferdinand for his so-called reputation and personal honor. He will even prove himself to others by using him as an enemy. He is a proud Castilian.
Don Macrosbane values ​​practical things even more, including Isabella's private treasury.
Perhaps it was because for many years as the queen ’s private treasury officer, Don Macrosbine unconsciously regarded the queen ’s private treasury as his own property.
Unfortunately, Ferdinand has repeatedly revealed that he apparently wanted to own Isabella's private treasury.
This is undoubtedly bad news for Don Makrosbane. He knows how bad the tricks he has played in the Queen ’s private library for many years, and he can rest assured that the wealth belonging to the Queen is endless. It was Isabella's trust in him that stuck in his pocket.
But now, he is facing the dilemma of being prosecuted or even severely punished, even if he is willing to return all the embezzled property.
And Mark Lose Byrne has long been accustomed to the power and status of having a large amount of wealth in his hands. If he is allowed to leave these things, he knows that he will dry up like a fish that has left the water.
Macross Byrne does not want this to happen to himself.
Like all Castilian aristocrats, after Isabella ’s death, Don Macrosbine faced a very important choice to become the minister of Isabella ’s mad puppet daughter, and was then killed by an God When the tribute ruled, they still made a new choice.
Marcos Byrne does n’t know how others decide, but before he came to Lisbon, his contact with Thiago had made him a new decision, but he had not made up his mind. After all, Enrique IV ’s Even if her daughter Juana really became the queen of Portugal, but according to the hostility that the Castilians have towards Portugal like the Aragonese for many years, it is impossible for the Castilians to accept the Portuguese queen as Castilla Queen's.
But if this person is Juana's brother, it is another matter.
Because it means that there is likely to be a person with the same inheritance in name, who can become a competitor of the crazy girl Juana.
Marklos Byrne was moved because of this. When he made his decision, he did not hesitate to tamper with the conditions of Ferdinand's negotiations with Portugal.
He decided to play an important role in helping Enrique ’s daughter become Queen of Portugal, and he was rewarded for being the first to show allegiance to the son of Enrique IV in the Castilian court people.
Alexander wrote a long letter to Juana, in which he for the first time assured Juanuel through Juana as the future Castilian ruler, whether on land or sea, Casti The relationship between Ria and Portugal will be greatly improved from before.
In this letter, Alexander mentioned the famous papal meridian. This is the line demarcated by Alexander VI, which divided the world into two parts and awarded them to Portugal and Spain.
It is also this so-called dividing line, which is actually full of Europeans' self-righteousness, which has had a huge impact on later history.
This time, Alexander was very careful to suggest that the relationship between Castile and even Aragon and Portugal should become "more friendly" in the future.
"I think it is necessary to establish a neighboring relationship full of goodwill and cooperation, which is a good choice for both of us. This can start by considering the improvement of the Pope's Meridian first."
In this letter, Juana vaguely noticed Alexander ’s ambition that surprised her. He noticed that Alexander mentioned Aragon, which made her start to wonder, because after all he did not have the right to advertise Aragon, even Juana thought Manuel decided to support Alexandria precisely because he felt that it was possible to create a conflict between Castile and Aragon, and even a station in the future.
But Alexander didn't seem to think so, which made Juana start to wonder, but soon after she seemed to understand something.
At the same time as Queen Eliza Cosenza Astamara sent Eliot to show her, she also sent someone to send a secret letter to Portugal. Even the secret ambassador she sent was more than Eliot. Arrived in Lisbon earlier.
In the letter, Ruosha admitted to Manuel her astonishing interest in the Aragon throne with surprising frankness. At the same time, she promised to Manuel if Portugal could support their brothers and sisters' "reasonable pursuit of their rights" , Then Portugal can get a generous return.
It is hard for Juana to believe that the two secret letters sent to Lisbon shortly before and after were not connected to each other, which not only surprised Juana for Alexander's elaborate planning, but also could not help secretly panicking their ambitions.
He helped her get rid of years of prison, allowing her to punish Isabella ’s daughter fiercely, and even help her become the queen of Portugal, but this is actually just a small part of his huge plan, even letting her He became the queen of Portugal only to allow himself to have a reliable witness in the fight for the crown of Castile.
Juana knew that once she was officially recognized as the daughter of Enrique IV, the hat of the "incompetent" would inevitably never be worn on the head of Enrique IV.
Being able to give birth to a married child will give birth to an illegitimate child, and in order to prove that he is indeed a blood relative of Enrique IV, and to be able to escape the fate of imprisonment, Juana must also support Alexander ’s claim to his bloodline .
In order to be able to sit firmly on the throne of the Queen of Portugal, and not to be removed from the throne like Maria, Juana also needs a strong backing as her backing.
A half-brother of King Castilla, this is obviously a very good choice.
In Manuel's view, although the development of the matter was not as he expected, it did not have much deviation.
Maybe Castilla and Aragon will not become enemies as he hopes in the future, but it is better to be ruled by a half-brother than a half-brother and sister.
The latter will become a powerful kingdom in the future, while the former is difficult to unify.
This made Manuel feel that such a result was barely acceptable, and it was inevitable that he wanted to come to the throne of several kingdoms to compete for war. Regardless of the result, this is what he hopes to see.
As for the Pope Meridian, as the Azores battle ended, this line is now in name only, and the Portuguese fleet is ready to their expedition team deep into the Atlantic.
However, if you can get along with the Spanish in the Atlantic, it will be a good start for the Portuguese.
Alexander's description of the new continent made Manuel determined to occupy an important position in the future development of new colonies, so stopping the unnecessary maritime dispute with Spain is a good start.
"That new world is so vast, enough for us all to share the great wealth God has given us."
Manuel ca n’t forget this statement from Alexandria, and from all the signs, the new world deep in the ocean may be depicted by Alexandria, because just half a year ago, some followed those who were said to be in the new Explorers of the colonial rampant pirate expedition have returned to Lisbon.
According to their accounts, they traveled north along the archipelago of the new colony. As the weather gradually became colder, their ships could always see the seagulls that appeared frequently from the west.
This means that they are always sailing north along a coastline, and this long coastline does not seem to have an end until the food on their ships and the fresh water supplemented on the colonial islands are almost exhausted.
This discovery inspires everyone. Although it is not known how large the inland part of the coastline is, it is enough to prove that the land is much larger than the previous Columbus announced.
"There should be 2 or 3 Portugals, maybe even bigger than the whole peninsula."
Such optimistic speculation is also the reason that made Manuel determined to compete with the Spaniards at sea, so after careful consideration, Manuel decided to join this adventurous action.
"This is a real adventure. If you fail, you may completely irritate Ferdinand," he said to her when she was alone with Juana at night, but he also said this to make his own chips more. More importantly, "I think we can invite him to Lisbon, but what identity will he be in this time?"
"The Duke of Rome Theseia?" Juana tentatively asked.
"No, I don't think it will help him in the blood of King Enrique," Manuel got up and picked up the wine bottle on the table beside the bed and filled the two people's glasses with wine. He raised Juana's cup and greeted "Let's think of a name that makes sense to everyone, because there will be a good show next."
Bellin City, the Portuguese were curious and nervous, standing on the side of the road and watching the French entering the city.
This is a small French army. Their commander is a French nobleman. Looking at the French-style armor and gorgeous horses, the people of Belling City can't help but be in awe.
Northern Portugal, bordered by Galicia, regarded as the most remote in Castile, is also the least wealthy and backward in its own country. There is very little people here, even Porto, which is regarded as the largest port city in the north. In the eyes of Lisbon, it is also a backcountry.
So it is no wonder that the people of Belling City are full of curiosity and awe for these French people.
Victor de Conde from the Count of Balasianville was watching the locals along the way. He had just returned from terrible Italy. Not long ago, he was recommended by the Duke of Bourbon who appreciated him. To the king.
The defeat in Italy did not discourage Louis XII. On the contrary, after the war, a dazzling diplomatic contest made Louis XII seem to be compensated.
The French army gradually settled in northern Italy, and the French even ended military control in Genoa, and then began to try to use peaceful rule to manage the city.
What is very tacit is that whether it is the French or the number of Austrians who still remain on the border, or the Venetians who seem to be neutral and staring at both sides, they are very careful not to touch the Italian The so-called "Genoa-Parma-Po river line" is divided into two parts.
A large number of French troops withdrew France, in order to show the victory of the expedition, or simply to give themselves a step. Louis XII claimed that this expedition to Italy had achieved the intended purpose, for which he decided to reward those who made merit in the war Nobles and even civilian soldiers.
The brave Victor de Conde, who showed up in the war, entered Louis XII ’s sight, especially when he heard that during the Siena battle, the nobleman was still able to defeat the whole army. After organizing his subordinates to resist, Louis XII couldn't help but show enough interest to the distant relative of the Duke of Bourbon.
However, Conde did not stay long in the castle in the Loire Valley. He was first ordered to go to Navarre as soon as possible, and soon after arriving, he was quickly ordered to accompany the envoy sent by the French King Cas. Tilia.
Before arriving in the northern Portuguese city called Bellin, Conte did not know what his specific mission was, he was just ordered to take over a French army there.
When he arrived at his destination and saw his troops, the future Prince Kongdai found that the army looked miserable.
This force first penetrated into Castile and then hurried northwards to Portugal. Although the army that chased them seemed to be less threatening, the situation for such an army that penetrated completely into the enemy's territory was not really wonderful.
Kong Dai did not know why the king sent him to take over such a force thousands of miles. Obviously, the king did not expect him to be able to create a miracle on the battlefield in Castile again, because this is too unrealistic. .
The movement of General Xiaerlun, the "occupation army professional" who came with him then, seemed to have solved his doubts.
Charlene was appointed commander-in-chief of the French army in Portugal. Despite the pitiful number of this army, Louis gave him great power.
"Full power, the commander and king's envoy of the army in the southwest of France", looking at the appointment letter, Alexander couldn't help but smile, he returned the appointment letter to Charlene, and then looked at the "Roman Thesia" The old friend of the people. "
"Actually, my mission is to deal with you, Duke," Charlene did not conceal his intentions. He paused when he said this. He looked at Alexander the same way without looking away. The chair slowly stood up and bowed respectfully. "His Royal Highness, I have seen you as the Special Envoy of the King of France. I hope I can establish a strong friendship between France and Castile."
Alexander also stood up. He looked at Charlene very seriously. At this moment, the atmosphere between the two suddenly became solemn.
"I will treat your attitude as the kindness released by the King of France. If God favors me, I can become the monarch of Castile. I will commit to building long-term friendship with France and an alliance that is beneficial to both parties."
Charlene's body trembled slightly. He knew that he was the first person to contact the young duke who was about to compete for the Castile throne as a foreign emissary. With the young man's unabashed frankness The ambition of the Castile throne, the Iberian Peninsula will usher in a turmoil.
It was because of this that Louis XII sent Charlene to Iberia.
Obviously, the French King wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to destroy the alliance between Maximian and Spain. For this reason, he even cooperated with his previous enemies and even expressed his support for Alexandria when the situation was still uncertain.
And once the war for the throne broke out, the French took the opportunity to intervene in Iberian affairs, it became much easier.
Just looking at the young duke in front of him, Charlene was not so optimistic.
Compared with Louis XII, Charlene believed that he knew the Roman Duke of Thesia better, and it was only because of him that he knew clearly that this young man would not easily allow the French to make waves on "his territory" of.
Just to avoid this kind of thing, the only way is to resolve this throne dispute as quickly as possible, or even to give the French any chance to disrupt it.
But once the Iberian throne is declared publicly, a war will surely break out.
By then, what should the young duke do to solve this problem?
Charlene felt that he really couldn't see through this person.
March 2 ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Alexander led his Balkan hunting guards with the French from Belin, trail Pont de Anrans, arrived in the coastal city of Vigo on March 4.
The following day, they embarked on a boat from Vigo and sailed south along the coastline, passing Porto for a short stop, and then set off on the same day to continue south.
At noon on March 7, 1502, Alexander's boat entered the Tejo River through the estuary.
In the evening, accompanied by the magnificent early spring, the sea boat slowly sailed into the Lisbon Port of Albrata.
When the ship raised the pennant, the salute was sounded with a loud horn on the fort at Cape Arablata.
When Alexander stepped off the springboard, he saw a familiar figure among the greeted crowd.
"Welcome back, my dear brother."
Castilla ’s Juana announced so loudly in public.
