Vol 4 Chapter 182: Glorious and stupid

No one knew exactly what happened in the chaotic and chaotic night the day before.
Maybe someone can tell what happened, but with the death of Tomnio, it is no longer important to know the truth.
As for whether Tomno was confirmed to have been killed at the time or later, no one can fully explain.
But Lucrezia knew that those who came to tell her the news should have discussed it in advance.
Or the news of Tomnio ’s death was confirmed earlier, and these people came to report to her after they had prepared all their utterances.
After all, Tomnio is the Duke of Pisa, even though he has actually nearly abdicated, but as long as he lives for a day, he is the nominal owner of Pisa.
Now he is dead, and troubles are coming.
How the Duke died, this problem is the cause of headaches for many people.
From the cover of the city defense captain, but in the final description, Lucrezia knew that Tomnio was found in a small alley.
According to the captain, it was very dark at the time, and the city defense troops who chased the Venetians were irritated by the powerful killing of the other party, and because they were afraid that these people would escape, they used crossbows.
The result of this is that when inventorying the dead bodies that fell in the alley, he accidentally discovered Tomnio with several arrows in his body.
I do n’t know if Tomnio had attracted the attention of the City Defense Army. In short, he seemed to have more arrows than others, so when he was found, the body of the Duke of Pisa was completely cold.
This obviously terrified many people. Even if they knew that the duke was actually a puppet, no one was willing to bear the charge of killing the duke, so the city defense troops immediately reported the news to their captain overnight.
When the city defense captain received the report, many people had received news about Tomnio's accidental death almost at the same time.
The Pizza people were a little flustered, they hurriedly sent people to ask, and then some people gathered, and after some discussion, the Pizza people finally came to a conclusion: we must make Estelles the new Duke of Pizza as soon as possible. This sudden accident has a reassuring effect on everyone.
The lawmakers found big businessmen in the chamber of commerce, and they knew that only with their support would their decision be successful.
Although it seems to many people that these businessmen should be more willing to support Estrel ’s coronation immediately, Tomno ’s overly meaningful death has left officials wondering whether the Chamber of Commerce will support Estrel in this situation. Crowned and enthroned.
As a matter of fact, the pizza officials ’scruples are justified. Before they made any suggestions, there was already a fierce quarrel in the Pizza Chamber of Commerce, and officials sent messengers to make the quarrel even more heated.
Someone strongly recommends that Estrelice ’s inheritance rights should be announced immediately, on the grounds that as a legitimate heir to Pisa, Estrelius must officially declare her rights in the first place, and only then can those attempts that might come out be avoided Dirty Duke Crowned Adventurer.
Others are firmly opposed. These people have equally good reasons. As legal heirs, if you rush to declare succession at this time, it may cause a lot of bad guesses, which is quite unfavorable for Estres.
The result of the nearly irreconcilable sides of the dispute was a whole night. They all spent in this endless quarrel. When the successor finally finally prevailed, it was already dawn.
Lucrezia did not know that when she and her daughter were still asleep, there were many people in Pisa who had been sleeping for her daughter overnight.
So when she was in a small team of hunting guards, a team of city defense troops, and a team of more chambers of commerce guards, holding her daughter in a carriage to the Ducal Palace, she discovered that not only the entire Ducal Palace has been tight The guardian of the road, even on the way from Lucrezia Palace, is full of guards who have already been guarded.
Estelles, who was held in her arms by Lucrezia, wore a fuchsia with an embroidered gold cape with pure white fluff at the edges. It is naturally not very comfortable to wear such a thick cape this season. So Estrel began to twitch restlessly in Lucrezia's arms.
Lucrezia whispered and comforted her daughter as she walked. She gently lifted the corner of her cloak to slightly ventilate her daughter. After coming to a separate room, she quickly took the cloak and the symbolic knight belt off her daughter. .
Several important dignitaries of Pisa were waiting for her in this room, seeing Bishop Pisa wearing a red robe, Lucrezia couldn't help thinking of her father in Rome.
Lucrezia had a strong hope that her father would see the impulse in the scene before her. She wanted to let her father know that all this was the result of Alexander ’s arrangement, and she also hoped that her daughter would be crowned by the Pope of the Vatican. In order to make this crown worthy of his daughter.
But Estrel's coronation is destined to be so hasty. Everyone hopes that this matter will pass safely, and no one wants any unnecessary disturbance caused by the accidental death of a puppet.
Especially when there is something unexpected about this, but when it is about to reap the rewards after a lot of hard work, people hope that Estelles can be crowned as soon as possible so that this disturbing wave can pass earlier .
The coronation ceremony was held in the Pisa Church, and just as the sun cast the shadow of the slightly inclined bell tower right into the tall window on the church wall, the Bishop of Pisa symbolically wore the crown of the Ducal Duke to Ess Therese's head.
As a matter of fact, the crown appeared to Estelles to be a bit large enough to be used as a collar, so the bishop could only gently put the crown in the arms of the Duchess held by Lucrezia.
There is a small detail that is quite noticeable throughout the coronation process.
When all the nobles swore allegiance to the new Duke after the coronation, Estelles was finally impatient because some people came over to kneel down on one knee and swear loudly.
She yelled very loudly, and the sound reverberated in the empty church, which made people feel a little embarrassed. Estelles suddenly danced when the bishop wondered whether to remind Lucrezia to find a way to calm down the duchess. Moved.
Then people saw the little Duchess holding the crown in her arms with both hands, and shouted loudly to the people in front of her!
That way, many people couldn't help but feel like she was proclaiming to everyone the ownership of the crown.
"Blessed by the Lord, Duke of Estes Juliant Gumbre of Pisa was crowned with the Church of Pisa on August 19, 1498," the Bishop of Pisa wrote in the academic records after the ceremony "... Duke Kang There were four loud noises and four shocks. Fortunately, those who participated in the ceremony were astonished. This symptom seems to indicate that Pisa will usher in an extraordinary monarch. "
Looking at the passage he wrote, the bishop first brewed it, and then wrote again: "Duke and mother-in-law Lucrezia are very excited about the woman's move, proclaiming in public 'My daughter is the legal heir of the Principality of Pisa , Anyone who pretends to be the crown of the Duke will be punished by God '. "
The bishop who wrote about it stopped and looked at the thick administrative records on the table. The bishop rubbed his eyes a little bit painful.
Then he took out another parchment book tied with a rope from a dark grid and opened it, writing in ink: "On August 18, the former Duke of Pisa, Tomno, died unexpectedly. The way to quell this accident is to let the new Duke ascend to the throne as soon as possible, but many people doubt this decision. I personally think that Tomno ’s death will not pass so easily. I believe that Pisa will soon face a storm. "
Alexander didn't know that his daughter had become the Duke of Pisa. Although he had arranged it all, he never thought that things would come so early, or so suddenly.
Alexander thought that Estelles should really inherit Pizza only after being slightly older. After all, Tomnio ’s body is not strong and strong, but at least healthy.
Unless there is any accident, probably he can sit on the throne of the Duke of Pisa for another ten years.
And Alexander didn't want Estelles to succeed as soon as possible.
He hoped that his daughter would have more time for herself, or more time to get education from him.
Alexander has already planned to personally tutor his daughter's future studies.
The purpose of this is not only to enable Estelles to have a correct understanding of the future history, but more importantly, he hopes that his daughter can have the thought and spirit beyond this era.
What will Italy look like in the future, and Europe in the future?
Will the daughter keep the annals as a female monarch in the future, or will it only become a small footnote among the many Italian city-state separatist forces recorded in the thick history?
Or, she will become the wife of a nobleman in the future, and then, after the transfer of the duke to her husband, she will become an ordinary wife and mother-like noblewoman who is gradually annihilated under the dust of history?
Alexander doesn't know what his daughter's future will look like, but he hopes to create more conditions for her, especially hopes that she can have a more mature and independent mind than this era.
This is an exciting time, a time when the old and the new, success and failure, civilization and ignorance, light and darkness are separated, and then completely subverted and replaced.
Alexander hoped that her daughter would be on the right path and could accept and even guide a member of this huge future change, rather than become a stubborn old man.
Because of this, he decided to educate his daughter himself. He believed that he could cultivate a ruler completely different from other monarchs of this era. He even thought that there might be an Elizabeth I of Italy!
But all this should be a long time after Alexander's imagination.
He never thought that he would see his daughter being crowned in his arms, and he would never know that her daughter might have acted out of impatience and anxiety at the time. It will inspire some young painter he is very optimistic about.
Then a painting called "Crown of the Kings" was published.
In this painting, the nobles of Pisa are portrayed as alien princes from afar, and the bishop becomes an angel holding a wreath.
The people in the painting are either excited, cheering, or simply kneeling on the ground, and everyone's eyes are on the middle half of the painting sitting in the arms of the Virgin, the beauty is almost indistinguishable. It is a man and a woman, wearing purple robes, a smooth arm protruding from the robe, and holding up a child with a crown in his hand, who is holding him or her!
The child's eyes are naive, but majestic, and it seems that at this moment, proclaiming the ownership of the crown to the world, it is like proclaiming to everyone that the era of her belongs.
Of course, Alexander did not know that the painting "The Coronation of the Kings" would soon be available, and with the advent of the painting, a young man named Sandy Raphael from Urbino became famous. .
What Alexander now knows is that he seems to be in trouble.
After a night of calm, a team of Bohemians was dispatched to harass as soon as the day dawned, but the accident was hit hard.
Calgino did not give Alexander any chance this time, or this person has a keen observation and is more able to adapt quickly to the changes on the battlefield.
Although still not used to this kind of pure guerrilla harassment, Calgino unexpectedly made a new arrangement at night.
In addition to ordering the construction of a simple fortification around the camp that was not strong, he was able to rely on it overnight, and he also arranged all the heavy crossbowmen to the place where the fortification was considered to be most likely to be attacked.
Then he personally led the troops to let the infantry enter the gaps between these fortifications in columns instead of columns with limited mobility.
Waiting is boring, and sometimes it can make people restless because of long-term waiting.
The Genoese waited a little longer, which made this impatience worse, and even Calgino himself began to wonder if it would be useful to wait like this.
Then he waited for his goal.
The moment when the already familiar whistling sound accompanied by the sound of a horseshoe, Calgino even thought the sound sounded cute.
Then they saw the bohemians coming from the horses.
This time the Bohemians were no longer so lucky, or the previous harassment had some casualties, but it was not as deep as the trouble caused to the Genoese, so after a night of rest, they turned to the enemy early A new attack was launched.
This kind of care was exchanged for the sudden blow to face the Genoese!
Suddenly, a large crossbow arrow fired head-on, causing some Bohemians to fall to the ground without responding.
The inertia of the war horses also led them to charge forward.
Another bowstring and terrible wind sounded, and the Bohemians had no time to change their direction as much as possible.
After realizing that the enemy was ready, the Bohemians were prepared to suffer some losses as before, rushed along the sides of the enemy formation, and then left this unsafe place as soon as possible.
But then they were not only attacked by crossbows from the fortifications, but also quickly found themselves seemingly rushing into the enemy's already prepared ambush.
The Genoese team quickly rushed from the Bohemian side, because it is a flexible column instead of a horizontal line, the Genoese have enough time to block the Bohemians and surround them towards them.
A rapid whistle sounded among the Bohemians, which was a signal to greet their companions to retreat immediately, and even their respective breakthroughs, but this signal was obviously sent a little late. As a team of Genoese came in, Bohemia Found that they seem to have been surrounded.
In the end, the Bohemians who broke out of the breakout were far fewer than when they came, and all of them were scarred.
Seeing this scene, Alexander knew that he was really in trouble this time, or that he encountered an opponent that was difficult to deal with. Compared with Calgino in front of him, the enemies he encountered before could only be said to be too I was stupid.
Busako was also anxious. He was worried that Alexander would lose his mind because of this sudden setback.
But when he was ready to discourage, Alexander did not jump like a thunder because of this sudden defeat.
But his look was still ugly, especially after listening to some bohemian cavalry accounts, he knew that this time he really underestimated Calgino.
"He actually built a fortification at night?"
Although he knew that such a fortification would certainly not be a sturdy building, he was obviously enough to deal with only a group of cavalry.
And what attracted Alexander ’s attention was that, according to the cavalry ’s description, the Genoese infantry was able to quickly surround them, which made Alexander speculatively secret. Calgino should have guessed that there were only cavalry around him now.
Only this way can explain why Calgino dared to let the infantry give up the line, although it is flexible, but it is not conducive to deal with the Bohemians on the battlefield.
"It's a bit difficult to deal with," Alexander rubbed his forehead slightly. He took the guard next to him and handed over the dried meat for a bite, because the stiffness of his cheeks suddenly reminded him "How much food do we have?"
"We didn't bring much," Busako whispered. "We can catch up with the food brought by the Genoese in a maximum of 2 days ~ EbookFREE.me ~ indeed only 2 days." Alexander laughed self-deprecatingly. The accidental loss of the Bohemians gave him a heavy lesson. Looking at the few bohemian captains in low mood, Alexander waved to them.
"Listen, I know that this time I was n’t very lucky," Alexander looked at the captains of the bohemians and hunting guards that surrounded him. "But the Genoese cannot stop here. Do n’t forget that they found that you lost them. The large amount of weight means that they do not carry much food. "
"But Master, we don't bring much," a Bohemian captain said annoyed. "I didn't expect those Genoese to be so difficult to deal with."
"It's a bit difficult to deal with," Alexander also had a headache and frowned. "As for food, they don't know our situation, so the only thing they can do at this time is to either leave here quickly or find a way to collect food on the spot."
Speaking of where Alexander stopped, he silently circled around in the same place, and after a while he raised his head and looked at his men brightly: "Pass my order, leave here, we will make way for the Genoese."
