Vol 6 Chapter 79: Return to Sicily

Alexander always felt that the idea of ​​Count Modillo wishing to reunify the two Sicilian kingdoms was ridiculous.
This has nothing to do with strength, but even Ferdinand II, who has indeed done it in history, is actually only leading the two Sicilian crowns, rather than nominally combining the two kingdoms into one.
The reason for this is because of the so-called problems left over from history formed for various reasons.
So when he heard the grand dream of the count, Alexander was actually very disappointed.
Even after Sicily was included in the FTA alliance, Alexander did not think that his idea could be realized so easily.
But now it seems that there are really a lot of people who have the same idea as Count Modillo. Reminiscing when Louis XII was the Duke of Orleans and took the risk of sneaking into Sicily anonymously, Alexander suddenly unexpectedly discovered that the original French The king also had a strong interest in the two Sicily, and he even took the risk of being alone.
This made Alexander feel that those two people could really become confidants.
However, he wouldn't become susceptible to Louis XII for this. On the contrary, he was more vigilant about the French king in his heart.
Normezi was very satisfied with Alexander's attention in one sentence. He felt that he had mastered the initiative of this negotiation, so his attitude became slightly reserved.
"The French can help you and your queen in some places, but you should be able to understand that most of these help is not recognized." Normezi revealed such a message to Alexander, seeming to worry that Alexander did not Understand, he continued to explain, "For example, they can provide you with weapons, ships and part of the cost, but these can only be provided to you directly by other people than the French themselves," Speaking of which, Normezi stopped He seemed to hesitate, but then he made up his mind and said, "I heard that the French do have a negotiation with Aragon, the Aragon will send troops but they will not fight the French."
"That is to say, they are going to share Naples publicly?" Alexander did not show surprise and frustration. He naturally knew this for a long time. Looking at the anger and helplessness shown on Normezi's face, he calmly said, "You do Should be angry because the Aragonese betrayed Naples. "
"This is simply intolerable, they actually want to divide up a kingdom," Normezi walked back and forth, which is why he was still unhappy although he was appreciated by the French. "I can't tolerate this kind of thing, this is too It ’s ridiculous, and it even makes people feel sick. "
"Louis has great ambitions. Perhaps it is bigger than Ferdinand, but he is too traditional. He can only see what he knows, and he does not know what changes will happen in this world in the future."
Alexander ’s slightly sentimental words made Normezi a little puzzled. He did n’t know what it meant at this time that Alexander said these things that did n’t sound marginal. What he was more concerned about now was how Alexander prepared to respond to the French. Suggest.
Normezzi did not want the Naples court to accept the French proposal, although he could make a successful mission and get more appreciation from the French, but somehow he was not happy with such a result.
Although he was puzzled when he saw this "nurse", of course, Alexander would not explain his words to Normezi.
Louis XII was indeed a very effective monarch in the history of France. As the eighth king of the Valois dynasty, he had shown his ambition to revitalize France from the beginning of his succession, and he also Indeed, many feats were completed in his lifetime, and he was even regarded as the "father of the people" by the French who like to give people the nickname.
However, compared with its impact on history, Louis XII is at best quite satisfactory, or a little better can be rated as a king who is determined to be aggressive.
And Ferdinand ...
Alexander felt the pressure in his heart.
As one of the founders of Spanish reunification, Ferdinand had internal conflicts that were more difficult and steeper than Louis XII, but he did complete the reunification.
Externally, Ferdinand in history not only annexed Naples, but also repeatedly sent troops to Italy. In the ensuing long Italian war, Spain exerted a huge influence on the entire historical process of Europe.
As for the new world, the future Kingdom of Spain led by Ferdinand has left France, a traditional continental country, far behind, and even once Spain became the first real world empire.
To be an enemy to such a person, Alexander, who had some headaches when he thought about it, seemed to be a bit self-masochistic, because he always looked for opponents that were much stronger than himself.
Charles VIII, Louis XII, Bayesert II, and Ferdinand II are now fighting again.
However, Alexander feels that he has a stronger advantage than these people. This advantage is not a prediction of the future, because with the gradual change of reality, the future history has become gradually blurred, and his advantage is better than these. People are young.
In addition to Charles VIII, who died early, even the two elders who are inextricably linked to him now have a very high age, such as Alexander VI, even if it does not happen in history, he suddenly went to see him God ’s accident, his age is also very large, which makes Alexander believe that as long as he is steady, he can only contend with these people by the end of time.
Just being passively beaten is not his character.
"What help can the French offer?" Alexander looked at Normezi and saw that the count of Juliet immediately showed a "sure enough" look. The pressure on Shanda just waved his hand to remind him not to be too proud. "Louis thinks we can harass Sicily." Help him contain Ferdinand's army? "
Normezi finally shook his head a little after hesitating a little bit, and he was indeed not very clear about this, but before following Charlene back to Naples, Louis XII asked him to bring this to Alexander ’s move when he summoned him alone, also letting Normezi felt surprised.
He did n’t understand why the Dharma King cared so much about the Earl of Montina, although this person is indeed well-known today, but after all, his position is still quite different from that of a king. From Louis ’s inquiries about him and the ensuing instructions, he can seriously look It seems that the Dharma King paid unexpected attention to this person.
"The king wants you to land in Sicily, he said maybe you can give him an unexpected surprise."
"It is not an accident that can be known in advance."
It seemed that Alexander, who deliberately ignored the ill sentence in this sentence, whispered softly. He walked up to Normezi and thought a little, his tone slightly softened: "Want to come over and do it for us?"
"Sorry Earl, I don't understand."
Normezi stared at Alexander stunnedly. He did not expect that the other party would propose it. Although he had thought about this possibility, the hostility caused by the rebellion and Naples was always between them. To Alexander's invitation, this made Normezi's mind suddenly unable to turn.
"My invitation is time-limited," Alexander continued to speak on his own. "If you can come to us before the arrival of the Aragonese, those things you used to do can never be blamed. I will ask Her Majesty the Queen. A pardon order for you, but if you are still on the French side after the arrival of the Aragonese, then I promise you may soon see God. "
The meat on Normezzi's cheek moved slightly, he didn't know whether it was because of anger or something, but the last restraint made him have to fight back: "What do you think, Count, makes you think you can still do it at this time?" Send this threat to me, knowing that even though the French may conflict with the Aragonese, are you still the weakest party in Naples? "
"No, Count I think you misunderstood," Alexander stretched out his hand like an old friend, and noormezi, who was nearly half as long as he was, walked to the door. "In fact, it wasn't me who wanted you to die It ’s Ferdinand. Do you think he would like to see someone who worked with him now become an accomplice to the French, or do you think he will not suspect that you have already sensed his conspiracy to try to blame you for killing the queen?

Normezi looked stagnant. He did hope so, even after carefully recounting the secret exchanges with the people of Ferdinand, Normezi still hoped that Ferdinand did not know that he had discovered those of the Aragonese. conspiracy.
"Trust me, Ferdinand is more difficult to deal with than you think. The most important thing is that he does not lack a helper like you in Naples."
Alexander ’s words hit Normez ’s weakness, and he thought that the biggest reason he could stay with the Aragonese was because he was useful to Ferdinand, but now Alexander ’s words made him suddenly realize that those who stayed in The aristocrats of Naples could surrender to the French so easily, wouldn't it be more logical to surrender to the Aragonese who are also the Astamala family?
And if you think about it carefully, before he officially turned his face with the French, whether he had doubts about him or not, at least he, who had an understanding of the Aragonese conspiracy, was a big threat that might reveal their intentions. .
In fact, Normezi didn't know the dangers, but he still wanted to stay with the French. Ferdinand's betrayal of him has always made him cherish, but now Alexander's words made him gradually calm down.
"I really can be pardoned?" Normezi was a little surprised. Of course, he was not surprised that he would be pardoned, but it was a bit unbelievable for Alexander to show him this card that should be an important chip.
"You can serve the queen," Alexander nodded affirmatively. "Your Majesty can pardon all your previous faults, but you should also know that this is not without cost."
Normezi thought about it, although he didn't know what the so-called cost was, but he had already vaguely realized that maybe it was a good opportunity for him to run from time to time.
No one wants to bear infamy. Even the most open-minded accountants have an attitude towards others, not to mention that Normezi does n’t think he can be broad-minded enough to be blamed and abused by others.
But in retaliation for Ferdinand, he ignored them.
But if there is a chance to change this bad reputation, he is certainly willing to give it a try.
As for the so-called cost, Normezi does not think that it cannot be brought out by himself.
Because the regent queen obviously still needs him.
Zuosha sits on the tall bell tower of Billy Shelley Castle, from here you can look out to the valley in the distance.
Billy Shelley Castle is located in the depths of a wide valley, and the mountains rising on both sides make the castle like two powerful arms that surround the arms.
Although the peaks in this area are not very high, because it is the only way to the mountains of southern Italy, the terrain of Billy Shelley is actually very important.
The mountains in southern Italy overlap, and the terrain is complex. Due to the lack of vast and flat arable land, in addition to some coastal cities, the food in many places comes from the north.
Among them, a large part comes from the Agrig Plain.
The sunset in the distance casts the last afterglow between the valleys before falling to the horizon, and envelopes the whole valley in magnificent golden colors.
Ruosha raised her hand slightly in front of her forehead to cover the dazzling light, and then looked through the edge of the almost illuminated transparent palm to the distance.
A sound of footsteps came from the wooden stairs behind him, and Ruosha turned back slightly to see Alexander walking up.
Ruosha smiled a little at the corner of her lips, and she turned back and continued to look beyond the tower, until a pair of slightly warm hands rested on her shoulders from behind.
"What did Normezi tell you?"
Ruosha didn't look back, but tilted her head slightly and rubbed her cheek on the back of Alexander's hand.
She reminded Alexander of the cat owners who were famous for their arrogance, but if she wanted to compare Rusha to a cat, it seemed that she should also be the proudest queen cat among them.
"Louis, it seems that he wants to encourage us to take some action against Sicily," Alexander used to play with Ruosa's golden hair with his fingers. He had always wondered how Russa took care of her beautiful blonde hair, especially here In the afterglow, it made her look like an angel bred in the flash.
"Sicily?" Ruosha was a little surprised, and then she smiled strangely. "If it was Louis not long ago, we might have to ask them what to do, but is this not a good opportunity for us now?"
Alexander nodded silently, and when he first heard Normezi's suggestion, he also had the same idea as Ruosha.
Just a few days ago, Count Modillo had just left Billy Shelley.
His destination is Sicily.
Since returning from Aragon, Count Modillo has never left Naples.
He seemed completely immersed in the enjoyment of life, except for hunting, he even rarely came out of the city of Naples.
The earl built his Duran palace into a kingdom of hedonists, and he himself was the king of this kingdom.
Even when the French invaded, he stayed on the pretext of not wanting to leave his home.
It was arguable for him to leave Naples this time for the first time in years, but no one would have thought that just a few days ago, the count suddenly offered to go to Sicily.
The earl did not say what he did to Sicily, but Alexander had already vaguely guessed something.
Count Modillo has always regarded the unification of Sicily as a dream of his life, and he looks like dormant Naples in these years, but in fact it is obviously not the case
Think again about the fact that he had sent George Anne ’s children to Sicily. This made Alexander, who had long suspected that the Earl had made preparations in Sicily, believe that the Earl suddenly chose to go to Sicily at this time. It should be ready to do a big job.
It was just that he did not expect that Louis XII was actually ready to act again in Sicily at this time.
This made Alexander couldn't help but sigh that the people who could become famous in history were really not simple.
"Do you think Uncle intends to cause a riot in Sicily?" Luo Sha leaned back to make herself more comfortable.
Alexander thought for a while and shook his head slightly.
If possible, he believed that Count Modillo would also cause a riot in Sicily like Louis XII, which would pull the Aragonese ’s hind legs, but thinking about Louis XII ’s embarrassing failure in Sicily, Alexander felt that Earl Dylo has been preparing for so many years, it should not be so simple, just want to create a few chaos, otherwise it seems too outweighing.
The Duke of Orleans did not hesitate to personally run to Sicily to cause trouble, but the effect received was not very good. It can even be said that even if there was no Alexander at the time, he only provoked a few riots at the end. Being suppressed.
Of course, this is not to say that Louis XII's means are not good enough, but that his original purpose was just to cause Ferdinand to cause some trouble. As for what will happen to those Sicilian mobs after the incident, he simply Didn't think about it.
Count Modillo is clearly not the case.
He has ambitions and plans, and more importantly, he has incredible patience.
It is not surprising that a conspiracy has been brewing for more than a decade or decades, but if a conspiracy is almost impossible to succeed from the beginning, but some people are still willing to invest huge capital to obtain it, it is almost one in 10,000. The hope, and for this hope can be dormant for so many years, can not help but admire his perseverance and courage.
Earl Modillo is such a person. In fact, his plan may have little confidence because there are too many in the future, but even then he still carried out firmly.
And if it wasn't for some yin and yang reasons, he almost succeeded.
"It won't be a simple riot," Alexander finally said. He bowed his head and kissed the silky silky hair of Zuosha. He looked at the sunset that had fallen in the distance. "Maybe the count will give us a complete Unexpected surprise, "he nodded affirmatively and said," Yes, I believe he will do it. "
Just as Alexander and Zuosha guessed the purpose of Count Modillo's trip to Sicily, outside a mansion on Henry IV Square near the palace of Palermo in the capital of Sicily, a carriage escorted by several armed escorts drove slowly Entered the yard.
An old man who had to be supported by a servant to move because he was too old stood on the highest step in front of the house ~ EbookFREE.me ~ When he saw the carriage stopped, the old man walked down the steps with the help of a servant Going, but when he was halfway up, a steady figure had come down from the carriage and greeted him.
"My friend, you're finally here," the old man stretched out his skinny hands to the coming man. When he shook the man's powerful palm, the old man's turbid eyes almost couldn't see anything. A burst of excitement burst out. "I'm waiting for you For many years, it has been too long. "
"But you still wait for me, don't you," Count Modillo smiled and walked up the steps side by side with the old man "Tell me how you have been in these years, but in fact you haven't said that I have heard a lot about you Things, after all, you are now one of the most powerful people in Sicily. "
Listening to Modillo's words, the head of the Sicilian noble ruling camouflage came out with a laugh, although he was powerless and hoarse, but he could still feel proud of it: "You are right, my friend."
