Vol 4 Chapter 188: Dawn is coming

Marriage is a very happy thing, a successful career, marrying a wife and having children, this is a dream that all men in the world yearn for.
If you marry a woman who can bring you great wealth and honorable status, even if you look mediocre, it seems not a problem.
For Alexander, it doesn't matter whether Barendi is beautiful or not, and when Count Modillo picked up this relative, he didn't even think about his ideas.
Therefore, his marriage to Barendi is the same as the marriage of the majority of the nobles who are currently married, but it is just a combination of the interests of the two families.
This was known to Alexander long ago, and it was also the default.
It's just that if marriage can cause trouble, it's a bit bad.
Speaking of Sophia, if you eat the wrong thing, you might get a knife and your rivals desperately, Lucrezia would never do that kind of thing.
It's just that she obviously has more terrible and deadly weapons than knives and sharp swords, her daughter.
Uliu came in a hurry and then left in a hurry to catch Lukrezia's attention.
She is also familiar with this Moorish, at least the house that she and Alexander had had in the first meeting was still found by Uliu.
So when he heard that Uliu hurried to Montina, Lucrezia's first thought was that the Moors had ordered Alexander to go to see Barenti.
Balendi certainly couldn't hide Lucrezia's case in Montina, but as long as Alexander remained in Pisa, Lucrezia would not mind because of this trivial matter.
Now that Uliu went to Montina in a hurry, Lucrezia couldn't help but wonder what was causing the Moors to be so hurried, after all, in her impressions, Uliu rarely left Alexander.
Once such doubts arise, it is inevitable to think more about things.
Soon Lucrezia discovered that something seemed to be hiding from Alexander.
So after summoning the Venetian messenger, and not waiting to go back to the room, Alexandria opened, Lucrezia ordered the nurse to hold the princess down, and then she closed the door and looked at Alexander, who was in contemplation.
"Are you going back to Montina?"
"what?"
Alexander asked unexpectedly. He did n’t know why Lucrezia suddenly asked. Although he did intend to return to Montina in the near future, after all, he was about to get married and still be with his lover. This lover also has such a publicity that there is a daughter who has just become a duchess.
It's just that he didn't even tell some of the people closest to him about this idea, so the sudden inquiry of Lucrezia surprised Alexander.
"Are you going to see Rovere in Montina?" Lucrezia asked again.
"No, I didn't. I was ..." Alexander wanted to defend, but then his shoulders fell helplessly. "Yes, I have to go back to Montina. I have to know that some things need to be solved, but I can't go for a long time. "
Lucrezia nodded silently. She knew that this kind of thing would always come sooner or later. As a child born by a mistress, she had seen too many times when her mother was waiting for her father.
It's just that she never thought she would wait like a mother someday.
"A long time to go?"
"No, you know that this is a critical moment for Pisa and Estelles. I won't be relieved if I leave for a long time."
Lucrezia nodded, she knew that Alexander was telling the truth, and now this is indeed a crucial moment. Although Estrelius ’coronation is still smooth, but after all, the storm that just passed makes everything seem too hurried, even pizza. The people are still vaguely upset.
Tomnio was buried in the cemetery behind the Pisa Church. Although the cemetery was a family cemetery that the Tomnio family had bought a long time ago, the burial in such a hurry caused a lot of discussion.
But Alexander did not care about these.
He had to resolve the matter of Pisa as soon as possible, because besides the fact that Old Rovere seemed to have a sudden impulse to ask him to marry Barenti as soon as possible, as the early autumn approached, he also felt that time became more and more urgent.
The coronation of French King Louis XII should have ended. When most European countries believe that with the new king ascended the throne, France may need some time to solve various domestic problems, and Louis XII is unlikely to turn its attention to France so quickly. Outside of the world, no one would have thought that the French king would follow Charles VIII's steps without hesitation at the beginning of his succession.
Although Charlie failed miserably, he was still an outstanding commander.
After returning to France, he almost immediately put himself in preparation for the second invasion of Italy.
If it were not Charlie ’s accidental crash that caused France to suspend the invasion plan, perhaps the Italian War would reignite the war again in 1498.
But Alexander knew that even then, the pace of the French invasion was actually only delayed for more than half a year.
As the autumn breeze started, the strange year 1499 was getting closer.
1499 is the last year of the 15th century. With the arrival of this year, a new era has come to the world.
The 16th century will be a completely different era.
If the last years of the end of the 15th century painted the end of the end of the dark millennium, then the beginning of the 16th century is the moment that finally came out of the darkness and then marched towards the dawn.
At this time, there will be many new things and people, people will taste the delicious and magical fruit that Columbus brought back from the strange continent, and will also see Da Gama loaded with the sails of wealth returned from India.
In Europe, a game has been brewing for too long. It has been doomed since the time of the Hussite Wars. Religious reform is about to completely change the entire pattern of the Western Christian world.
This wave of waves of history is too urgent for Alexander.
Even if he knows the history of the future well, in the face of such a big change that has not been seen in a thousand years, Alexander still has a worry about whether he will not be overwhelmed by this tide.
This is an era where anyone can become a hero, but even a noble person can be eliminated.
From the unification of Spain to the rise of England, from Ottoman's iron riding scimitar, to Martin Luther's 95 outlines that made the Vatican dignified.
Fengyun gathering, great talents come forth!
Lucrezia saw Alexander closing her eyes as if resting, but felt his chest undulate violently, which made her a little worried.
She stretched out her hand and pressed it against the back of Alexander's hand, and was immediately taken aback by the heat in his hand.
"God, are you sick?"
"No, I'm fine," interrupted Alexander suddenly opened his eyes. What he saw was not the epic of the era that flashed like a flash of light in his mind, but his beloved woman. Alexander reached out and gently stroked Luke Rezi. Ya's cheek "just had a long dream."
Lucrezia looked at Alexander with a little worry. She suspected that her previous attitude made him unhappy, so she leaned slightly in Alexander's arms, snuggling him against his chest, and gently said: "I don't Knowing what to do, you may not know how happy I was when I saw Nomelo. I mean it was different from when he came last time, this time because I knew my father had not forgotten me. "
Alexander nodded, he knew that Lucrezia was actually because of a lack of security. Since Caesar tried to take her away last time, and she finally chose to stay, although she did not say it, Alexander could feel Lucrezia ’s heart. Anxious and restless.
Whether her father will forgive her, and the previous letter will give Alexander VI what to think. Such pressures make Lucrezia enjoy the happiness brought by her lover and daughter, but also let her from time to time. 'S lost in confusion.
"I know," Alexander gently hugged Lucrezia's smooth shoulder. "I'll let you write that letter. It's really too difficult for you."
"No, that's right," Lucrezia shook her head slightly. She seemed to correct Alexander's misunderstanding. "Of course, I want to fight for my daughter's best interests. I'm not for that upset. I'm just worried that I might be abandoned . "
Looking at Lucrezia's serious expression, Alexander could only nod silently. He was indeed a little unable to understand the Borgia-like feeling that separated family and interests so clearly.
"Caesar may come back with the French," Alexander decided to reveal something to Lucrezia. This was to prepare for the future. Second, even if asked, it was easy to explain. "I know the Pope is negotiating with the French. You Father hopes to change relations with France, so if France invades again, Caesar may become their ally. "
"So will he have the idea of ​​playing pizza?" Lucrezia immediately grasped the key to the matter. "I know my father has always attached great importance to pizza."
Hearing this euphemism, Alexander couldn't help but smile.
Alexander VI's ambition for Pisa is as well known as his hatred for Florence.
So for Estelles to become the Duke of Pisa, he really wanted to see it.
At least at that time he can exert an influence on Pisa's name.
Of course, if his cheap son-in-law unfortunately died on the battlefield and left Lucrezia's orphan and widow, it would be more perfect.
At that time he could even take Pisa directly under his rule in the name of protection.
Alexander didn't say this, it would be too bad if that was the case.
But the thought of coming to Alexander VI is almost the same. Perhaps after receiving the letter from Lucrezia, he was secretly happy for her eagerness to fight for the power of Montina for her daughter, because maybe it will be true by then. It might make him a big advantage.
For the old man, Alexander was unconvinced to speculate with the greatest maliciousness, which did not make him feel wrong.
On the contrary, the speculation and suspicion of the previous ones will often be discovered later, and perhaps the most vicious place in the heart of the pope may not have been fully speculated.
When Alexander VI reigned, he did not catch up with the collapse of the Christian world, but he was definitely one of the culprits that led to the subsequent great division.
"If Caesar came back, maybe he would have an idea for Pisa," Alexander said when he saw that Lucrezia's light brown eyebrows suddenly frowned. "We all know that Caesar always wanted to be the master of Romagna. Office. "
"But he can't play pizza." Lucrezia said angrily. "Pizza is my daughter. Maybe she will become the earl of Montina in the future, so I won't allow Caesar to think."
"I hope you can persuade him, but I am not so optimistic. Know that in addition to Caesar and the French, Louis’ ambition is greater than Caesar, if the French try to occupy our daughter ’s territory ... "
Lucrezia was a little uneasy. She was not stupid even though she was not in government. She knew the French were so powerful, at least she saw them with her own eyes during the days when the French occupied Rome.
"Then what should we do, ask my father for help?"
Alexander's lips moved, and he wanted to say that the old man had pretended to be a grandson in front of the French, but it was a good idea.
"We need allies, many allies, at least allies that can make the French or your brother scruples."
Lucrezia's face slowly darkened, she stared at Alexander for a while, and then asked a little coldly: "You're not talking about Rovere's house."
"That's one of them," Alexander didn't deny, even though he was actually thinking of someone else. "We must prepare for Pisa to protect itself from the impending war, so I have to leave temporarily."
"When are you going to leave?"
Lucrezia's emotions have calmed down a lot. She stood up and stared at Alexander. Her eyes did not mean anything to force, but the silent gaze had made Alexander feel uneasy.
"Relax, not soon."
There are still some things that must be solved, such as the Venetian.
The messenger sent by Alexander should not have arrived in Venice, but the messenger of Venice came first.
This made Alexander guess that this should be a proof that the Venetians had planned for a long time.
Grogningen and Kotzczah wanted to borrow Venetian intervention to save him, Alexander did not know.
If he knew it, he would first doubt whether the two men had eaten the Venetian rebate, and then lamented that he was not good at meeting others, and met two guys who specialized in pit teammates.
The Venetians ’greed for Romagna is also well known, but Alexander is not worried now.
In other words, after receiving the news from Uliu from Rome, even if he knew the thoughts of those two people, he would not doubt whether they were going to harm him.
Because the Ottomans are about to invade.
For a long time, the Venetians have enjoyed each other to open up their own maritime territory. They regard the entire Mediterranean as their own pool. Wherever the Venetian schooners reach, their road to wealth is paved.
But the Ottomans broke their dreams. The huge setbacks in maritime trade made the Venetians not hesitate to fight Ottoman, and they relied on their own maritime strength for many years.
But now Ottoman is coming from the land.
With the expansion of power in the Balkans throughout 1497 and the first half of 1498, Bayeste II was no longer satisfied with occupying the entire Greece, and his eyes turned to inland Europe. At least now his goal is Bucharest.
The Venetians clearly felt threatened, and they were even willing to pay a lot of money, just hoping that the Hungarian king could resist the Ottomans.
As for when the Ottomans would attack Bucharest, Alexander believed that no one knew better than him.
In addition to understanding history, this was mainly because someone revealed the news to him.
Ashurk is very satisfied with his current relationship with Alexandria. According to the method discussed by Alexandria with him, the result of several letters to Sudan is that their business is flourishing, and the risk of trade at sea is greater than that of any Chamber of Commerce. Much smaller.
The result of this is that the business of the FTA is getting better and better, and Ashurk's pockets are becoming more and more bulging.
So in return, after receiving the news that the Sudan was about to attack Bucharest, Ashurk did the first thing, which was to disclose the news to the Moors who came to his residence to greet him.
"The Venetian is having a headache for the Ottomans now," Alexander smiled at Lucrezia. "So we don't need to worry now, and finally the Venetian will come to us to sum himself up."
"But you also saw the messenger, his arrogant attitude does not seem to sum."
Lucrezia said annoyedly that she was not necessarily hostile to Venice, but because the messenger awakened the sleeping Estelles because of the fierce speech when she saw her.
As a result, the distinguished Duchess woke up with a tantrum, and all the time there was only the angry cry of the Duchess in the whole hall. This scene made both the host and guest feel awkward.
"He actually awakened our daughter. Shouldn't someone cut his head?"
Alexander's slightly mischievous inquiry annoyed Lucrezia, but then a little worried.
"Will the Venetian send troops directly to invade Pisa?"
"No," Alexander decisively rejected Lucrezia's idea. "The Venetians have money. For them, things that can be solved with money will not take the initiative to take them in. They are also like Florence. You can send someone to hijack Tomnio, but as you just saw, because there is no direct evidence, their messengers can deny this accusation, so they do n’t have to worry about anything, but ask them to send troops directly to Venice now. It is very inappropriate to say. "
Lucrezia nodded inexplicably, she felt a little bored, although the fact that her daughter became the Duke of Pisa made her happy, but the busy administrations that followed soon annoyed her again ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I feel like I haven't changed my clothes for a long time. "Luckrezia walked in front of the mirror and watched as she twisted a few times." I was wearing this dress for the first time for the first time. "
"Yeah, it's really long enough. Only two sets of clothes were changed in the morning." Alexander smiled slightly ridiculously. He knew that this kind of government affairs was really embarrassing for Lucrezia, but he did She has to insist that Lucrezia adapt to this life as soon as possible, because soon she will have to face this situation alone.
"I mean, I've been wearing these clothes long enough," Lucrezia glanced at Alexander a little angrily, seeming to be a little angry that he didn't understand his words, and then she simply pulled her chest off and hooked them together. Ribbon buckle "Don't you miss me not wearing clothes before?"
Alexander's lips were a little dry. Speaking from the time when Lucrezia gave birth to the child, they had not been intimate for some days. Now looking at the temptation of the young woman, the heat in Alexander's heart rose a little.
"It seems inconvenient here, and your body has not recovered, which is bad for your health."
Alexander tried to persuade Lucrezia, or simply to persuade himself, but when Lucrezia's hot body leaned on him, he felt that he couldn't persuade anyone.
But at this time, a knock on the door interrupted the atmosphere.
Lucrezia had to hide behind the screen immediately, and she heard an attendant at the door say to Alexander: "Master, the Countess of Cosenza in Naples sent someone to send a letter."
Lucrezia listened carefully as she sorted out her clothes. She heard the letter-opening, and then she heard Alexander whisper softly, "Ah!"
