Vol 6 Chapter 5: The French are coming

Sophia sat in the room a little stunned. She sometimes looked at the door, and sometimes looked down at her belly.
"There are children." The idea left her a little overwhelmed, or perhaps unbelievable.
Sophia is a little skeptical about whether she is really pregnant, but it seems that there are indeed more opportunities for intimacy with Alexander from Bucharest, and then think about it, as the doctors said, with her healthy body, Pregnancy is actually very simple, and Sophia gradually began to accept this fact.
It's just that she wasn't as ecstatic as when Alexander heard the news. On the contrary, she still felt a little lost, because it meant that she and Alexander really had to be separated.
According to Alexander's plan, she must return to Wallachia once she is pregnant, so that in the future her children can become the heirs of Wallachia without dispute.
When she thought of being separated, Sophia's mood suddenly became worse. She reached out and touched her belly, and then poked her soft and elastic belly with one finger. It just appeared in his body, and he was a little blamed for the child's separation.
Sophia doubts that Alexander's intimacy with her during this time is to make her pregnant as soon as possible, and then find an excuse to leave her. This idea made Sophia's mood suddenly feel bad, and once you think so, you feel everything It's not so pleasing to the eye anymore, even Alexander wants Giorcione to paint portraits of them that she thinks are preparing for the upcoming separation.
Sophia stood upset and walked around in the room. When she walked to the corner of the rack with armor and a row of swords of various sizes, she used to grab the biggest two-handed sword. Prepare to take it off the shelf.
"What are you doing!" A stern scolding came from behind. Sophia turned her head to see Alexander walking into the house with an uneasy face, seeing that she was holding the hilt, and Alexander hurried forward a few steps from behind Hold her in one hand while reaching out and pressing on the back of her hand holding the sword.
"You are crazy, haven't you heard the doctor say that you can't play tricks anymore from now on?" Alexander was angry and yelled and tried to let Sophia loose, but then some unexpectedly found that Sophia's hand was not only tightly clenched, And her eyes were staring at him angrily.
Alexander knew that Sophia suddenly became so weird after she knew she was pregnant. He did n’t care too much at first, but now that Sophia actually started to move his sword and gun again, he realized that this should probably be I'm guilty of pregnancy syndrome, but it's just a bit scary compared to Lucrezia's, at most, just for a while. Sophia's mood swings that she likes to use a sword to cut people.
"Do n’t think about it, I ’m just happy that we can have a child," and when finally finally persuading Sophia, and then from the awkward little pregnant woman who did n’t want to reveal why the angry little pregnant woman knew why she was annoyed, Alexander could only Constantly trying to dispel her concerns with persuasion. "Or do you think you are completely unattractive, you can't let me fall in love with you, but just want to leave as soon as possible?"
Sophia immediately dissatisfied with a single tone full of meanings. When she couldn't admit that she might not be attractive, especially she couldn't bear to let her lose to the woman named Barenti.
So she wanted to prove how strongly she was tempted by Alexander, she began to take off her clothes quickly, and then hugged Alexander tightly and asked him to use actions to ensure that he was more worthy of his favor than other women.
Alexander hugged the girl in her arms, and her heartbeat could not be slightly accelerated. These days of constant love with Sophia made him too aware of how fascinating this young girl with extraordinary charm, although young, was fascinating, although many times she It seemed awkward and even funny, but perhaps she was born with a tempting body, but her kind of jerky always revealed a huge temptation that made it difficult for him to refuse.
But Alexander was not free at this time and she rolled sheets endlessly. He carefully held Sophia's smooth body in his arms and let her sit on his lap before he told her the previous Jewish advice.
Sophia crooked her neck in doubt, and Alexander knew she wanted to know what the Jews did.
"They want to make long-term investments. For these Jews, instead of getting a guarantee that does not fully protect their wealth, it is better to use this in exchange for an opportunity," Alexander said and kissed Sofia's forehead lightly. "Neither of you I know how many people care about whether you are pregnant or not, because it affects too many people. "
Sophia thought for a while, then nodded solemnly, which made Alexander a little curious about what she had thought of.
"But before I had to figure out if Joseph Buccini was telling the truth," this thing had already been done before I came to see Sophia, and it reminded Alexander of Uliu and said He felt that it was really inconvenient to lack Uliu around him, but he wanted to come as planned. Uliu had already arrived in Milan at this time, and he still had such an important job, so Alexander also canceled the call of Uliu The opposite of serving: "If the Jew said all true, maybe his suggestion we can consider."
In fact, when Joseph Buccini made a suggestion, Alexander was already excited.
Sophia would return to Wallachia for whatever reason after pregnancy, and they must at least have a period of time to make Alexander somewhat uneasy, although he has done everything possible, except the Greeks will Will become Sophia's staunch supporter in Wallachia, and the gradual penetration and control of the Wallachia army has also begun, but because she is not around her, Alexander is always not at ease.
The Jewish advice allowed Alexander to see the possibility of helping Sophia quickly control Wallachia, powerful force and strong capital. What kind of terrible monsters would these two create once they were combined?
Wallachia in history once persisted for a long time. When the entire Balkans fell into the hands of the Ottomans, Wallachia became the last refuge on this peninsula in an attempt to escape Ottoman rule.
It was not until Suleyman's second expedition to Europe that Wallachia fell completely, and Hungary at that time was already divided between the Habsburg Grand Duchy of Vienna and the Ottomans.
But now, all this may change.
The accidental injury of Bayesert II triggered the internal disputes of the Ottoman Empire in advance. The current Ottomans are like a situation in which the father and son of the Sudan have their own sides. If they can be properly utilized at this time, they may even attract more Changes, for example, at least until now there has been no movement in the maritime war between Ottoman and Venice. If the Ottomans delayed the invasion of Venice due to the accidental injury of the Sudan, then the various effects that will occur next are really orders People are worth looking forward to.
If the Venetians were not weakened by the naval warfare, then they were fully capable of investing more power in this war during the subsequent French invasion of Italy, and then the entire Italian war would be radically different.
Alexander hugged Sophia while enduring the temptation of being a clumsy lover from his arms but obsessed with it, while pondering the current situation until he heard the door lightly knocked.
"Come." Alexander murmured in his heart. He turned and placed Sophia carefully beside him, and a blanket covered her body that made him drool.
The Balkan guard named Shir stood squinting at the door, and when he saw Alexander, he immediately lowered his gaze to the ground: "Sir, the Venetian sent someone to meet you."
"It's really the time to come," Alexander smiled. He knew that the Jewish visit to him would not hide the Venetians, and that it was not a secret, or if all this was secret when he planned, he would see those. The Jews also needed to use the studio as a cover up, and now there is no need to cover up anymore. "I will see them here."
As Sher bowed and left, Alexander turned to lie on the bed diagonally, so that the curve of the side covered under the blanket completely inadvertently protruded. Sophia said: "It seems that you have to eat dinner by yourself, I think I may It will be late to come back. "
Sophia showed a trace of annoyance, and she wanted to get up, but Alexander laid her shoulders lightly and lay back.
"What I want to do is very important, it may be related to us and our children."
Sophia hummed a little unwillingly to be dissatisfied, but she turned her head around and buried her face in a soft pillow, making her sleep soundly.
"Yes, sleep well, now you really need a good rest." Alexander lowered his head and kissed Sophia's lips, and then walked out of the room.
It was still the Golden Hall, but this time the Secretary of State was standing outside and waiting to see Alexander appearing from the other side of the corridor. The Secretary of State walked forward two steps to show respect, and then the two began a brief conversation at the door of the Golden Hall .
"You know that it ’s not convenient for you to meet you at this time, or that it ’s convenient for you to meet with the Jews, but now everything is not important, the Fugger family is destined to escape, and this will be a time for the emperor. "It's a heavy blow," the Secretary of State whispered to Alexandria. "All we need to do next is get our results."
Alexander looked at the slightly excited State Secretary and knew why the Venetian was so excited.
As the Secretary of State said, he had just met with the Jews in Venice, and then he came to visit the Governor. This may not have attracted much attention in the past, but as the action begins, it is destined to cause uproar throughout Europe today. They This series of meetings is likely to be noticed.
However, it is indeed not important anymore. The bankruptcy of the Fogel family can no longer be prevented. Finally, besides the nearly fatal blow to the enemy of the Grand Duke of Vienna, the huge benefits obtained by dismembering the Fugel family can also be Slightly loosened for Venice's already tight finances, compared with these, even if the emperor knows in the future, it does not matter.
The confrontation with the Ottomans for many years has shown signs of sleepiness in the Venetian ’s finances. Although this sign is not so serious, as long as the slightly Venetians know that they are using The navy of a huge empire contends, and for them a hundred victories can hardly be defeated, so the Venetians have been desperately expanding the navy. Their purpose is of course not to compete with the Ottomans for maritime supremacy, but pure hope. In this way, they surrounded their interests in the Mediterranean and those colonies, but even such a huge naval expenditure has overwhelmed the Venetians, and at the same time they have to guard against threats from within Europe at any time.
Now, as the Fugger family is about to be overthrown, while breaking the money bag that Maximian used to wage war, he can also grab a large sum of money from the emperor to suspend the gradual and urgent finances. It's really a multi-purpose approach, and the benefits are repeated.
The governor of Venice Barbarig was obviously not as good as before, especially after the battle of Fornovo. Even after the battle, the Venetian became a hero who defeated the French invaders. The unsightly battle became an excuse for Barbarig to be attacked by the 500-person hospital.
Many people think that it was precisely because he chose Pitiruno as the commander that the Venetians suffered heavy casualties in this battle, and some people think that Barbarage had the opportunity to negotiate with the French at the time, but he was to show himself It was a governor of Venice who defeated the French king, so he did not hesitate to give up the opportunity of reconciliation with the French, and at the same time let Venice be involved in this war of gains and losses.
These condemnations once shaken Babarig's status. Some people even doubted whether he could continue to be re-elected, but the Governor himself did not seem to be very worried about these. When Alexander saw him, the Governor was teasing a seemingly Beautiful parrot, watching the parrot jumping on the bird stand, the governor's wrinkled face showed a happy smile.
"You're here, Earl," Barbaric raised his hand a little and greeted Alexander, and then the servant took two steps forward, and after greeting each other, the three walked through the Golden Hall to the outside balcony on.
This balcony is very large, like a small sky garden. From here, you can see more than half of the courtyard of the Governor ’s Mansion. Looking at the crowds in and out of the Governor ’s Mansion, Barbarig pointed down:
We I know that everyone who enters here is in pursuit of wealth and power, but how many people know what will happen? "
Seeing Alexander's gaze looking over and asking, Babarig shook his head slightly: "Count, I'm not talking about the Fogel family, they are not important to us, I'm talking about what will happen in Europe next."
Alexander nodded secretly, he knew he was right.
Obviously, Barbarage is a man who is old but has a more ambitious ambition than anyone.
Many of the governors of Venice in history were ambitious, the most famous of which was the elderly blind man who was still able to encourage the Crusaders to capture and ransack Constantinople, and then transported countless art treasures of East Rome as spoils Back to Venice to make up Enrico Dandolo in his palace.
However, Barbaric apparently did not want this predecessor to be preoccupied with beauty, and before Fogel's family was completely destroyed, he had set his sights on Europe.
And without the threat of Emperor Maximian who lost his economic pillar and became unstable, the Venetians could do too much in the future.
"The French may invade at any time," the Governor ’s cloudy eyes glanced at Alexander after drinking a sip of tea. "I ’ve got the news that Louis is making final preparations, but before that he did something. Caesar Borgia found a relative ... "
"You are talking about the sister of King John III of Navarre, and also Louis's cousin, Charlotte de Albritt?" Alexander asked softly.
The Governor ’s eyes glanced weakly at Alexander without nodding unexpectedly:
It seems that you are not new to this news, so what do you think of this?

Alexander didn't answer immediately. He glanced at the secretary of state next to him and saw that the secretary of state nodded slightly. Then he said, "I think you must know that I have a special relationship with the esteemed Pope, so I can only say that I hope that the future situation will not become too bad so that I can avoid conflicts with my family. "
"Love," the governor smiled and shook his head. "This is indeed a beautiful thing, but I believe that such a beautiful thing is sometimes a bit of a torture for you."
Listening to Barbarig's mocking jokes, Alexander shook his head helplessly.
"But I want to remind you that the French are very strong, and this time Louis has a long time to prepare, which is enough to ensure that he is more difficult to deal with than Charlie." Barbarig said casually "and I have to give another You indicated that for the French military invasion, Venice did not want to intervene too much for at least a long period of time ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Alexander nodded silently, he knew that Babarige said that he was actually blocking in advance After living in the mouth where he might offer assistance to Venice, in fact Alexander clearly knew that Venice would not actively join the anti-French alliance as before, but between Venice and the French during this time There is also an ambiguous relationship that makes it unclear.
So when the action of dismembering the delicious prey of the Fugels came to an end, that is, the alliance between him and the Venetians was dissolved.
"Sophia will leave in the near future," Alexander said to Barbarig. "But I hope that the connection between Wallachia and Venice will not disappear.",
"Of course not." The Governor answered with a smile.
In order to ensure the safety of its East, Venice had to provide huge amounts of funds to Bohemia every year in exchange for helping them resist the Ottomans. Now with the Ottomans retreating, the Balkans estimate that it will become much more peaceful for a long time. It is not necessarily a good opportunity for the Venetians to take the opportunity to open up the Eastern market.
Alexander knew that this meeting with Baba Rig would be a key negotiation to determine the future decision to split the dominance of the booty of Fugel, so he first threw a sufficiently large benefit to the Venetians.
But then, he decided to let the Venetian take a good look at what to do.
"The emperor will fail this war," Alexander said suddenly, not waiting for Barbaric's reaction. He then said, "I'm not talking about wars with the French, but wars with those mountain federations. He will lose miserably. "
Hearing Alexander ’s words, Babarig ’s cloudy eyes cleared instantly!
