Vol 6 Chapter 93: The men of Naleño

When he heard that Normezi was visiting again, Alexander was not surprised that the Earl of Julipe had such frequent visits.
He first asked a guest to wait, and then came to the room where the count was waiting.
Normezi was looking at a picture on the wall that was fascinating, when Alfonso I put two identical crowns on the heads of his two sons when he divided the two Sicily equally.
The two Sicilian kings kneeling on the ground were humble and obedient, while the crowd watching in the distance folded their hands together and looked at the two angels with holy lights flying above Alfonso I's head.
"My grandfather is among these people." When seeing Alexander, Normezi pointed to the vaguely-looking spectators in the finger paintings. "He was a servant at the side of King Alfonso. Speaking of it, my grandfather could have followed Sau I returned to Aragon, but he stayed afterwards. "
"Perhaps that might be better," Alexander also looked at the painting before asking, "So what's the purpose of your visit, count?"
Normezi did not speak at once. He seemed to be pondering what to say. After a while, he said in a slightly more cautious tone: "This is the case. Although the French occupied Naples, we need our cooperation. Whether the port or the ship is always led by me. Naples is commanded by a committee composed of local people. You know that the French will promise to do this only to facilitate their rule, but in this way, I feel that you or your majesty There are still some benefits. "
Alexander nodded slightly to indicate that he had heard it, but did not speak, but made a gesture asking the count to continue.
"Okay, this is the case," Normezi finally continued helplessly. "We think that the Queen's army can be provided with some conveniences, such as ships and corresponding supplies. Of course, these are only the decisions of the shipowners and the chamber of commerce. , You know that businessmen are always profit-oriented. "
"Yes, businessmen are indeed profit-oriented," Alexander responded very favorably, seeing Normezi also showed a natural look, Alexander couldn't help but smile gently before asking "So Sharon has decided to help Are we? "
"It was indeed proposed by him," Normezi breathed a sigh of relief and directly pointed out the words. "It seems to him that this is a rare opportunity to contain Aragon, and I can feel that he seems to be against God. Gong people have a strong defense. "
Alexander nodded silently and said softly: "Yes, he should be very careful, especially the Aragonese who came this time."
Seeing Normezi's expression of doubt, Alexander did not explain to him.
The secret support from the French was as early as Alexander expected, and Normezi was indeed right about Charlene ’s cautious attitude towards the Aragonese.
Obviously, Charlene ’s fear of Gonzalo de Córdoba has reached the point of being memorable, but it ’s no wonder that almost all French generals who participated in the Charles VIII expedition a few years ago dared not ignore The noble general of Castile.
And Alexander himself will never forget the founder of the Spanish Great phalanx.
Probably the large phalanx of Gonzalo has already achieved its effect now. Alexander couldn't help thinking about it. He would not forget the scene of discussing the prototype of the square phalanx with him at his home in Gonzalo in Rome. Salou probably wouldn't have thought of it, but Alexander already knew that one day the two of them would meet again on the battlefield.
Normezi ’s mission is not over. In addition to his secret covenant with Alexander, he also has a very important mission, which is also to ensure that the task of allowing Billy Shelley to complete the expedition can be completed.
That is the non-aggression treaty proposed by Charlene with Cosenza.
Once the Naples army of Billy Shelley expedition, the defenders staying in Cosenza will be empty and empty, which is obviously a hidden danger, and in order to prove his sincerity, Charlene used the history of Cosenza The independent Earl Territory, rather than the territories of the Kingdom of Naples, announced its willingness to sign a truce with the Lord Count of Cosenza, not the Queen of Naples.
This reason seems to be a little far-fetched, purely to give Billy Shelley the excuse to mobilize the Cosenza's army to the greatest extent, but Alexander saw some of Charlene's thoughts from it.
While reaching an agreement with Billy Shelley and laying a foundation for the remaining forces of Naples in the future, Charlene seemed to be very good at this trick that sold others well while digging holes.
Just one of the key premises to play this kind of trick is that if Ruosha remarries, then Cosenza will probably merge with other countries as she becomes a dowry ...
Thinking of these Alexandria shook his head slightly funny, and then watched Normezi's figure disappear in the far corner of the corridor leading to Rusha's room.
Then he turned and walked to his room, where a guest was waiting for him.
Joseph Buccini was walking anxiously around the room, and when he saw Alexander coming in, he immediately stopped and looked over.
"Why, are you already anxious?" Alexander asked rather interestingly, looking at the anxiety that the Jews didn't seem to hide.
"The Earl would be anxious if anyone had such a heavy responsibility like me, but had to wait for you to come back halfway." Buccini did not cover up the obvious dissatisfaction, he walked to the table and sat down carefully before opening Before Alexander left the document sealed with wax seals in front of the two people, and then picked up the pen and dipped in the ink and prepared to continue writing. "Next you can continue to speak."
"This is the case. We all completed a very important work together, that is, to break the Fugel family who has been supporting the Emperor Maximian financially into the abyss," Alexander said at the time when he saw the cloth. Cini nodded in agreement, then smiled and continued, "Then I think it is necessary for us to replace Fugel's position. Perhaps at this time, showing support to the emperor can get even greater benefits."
"Sir, this is why you suddenly decided to help Austria?" Buccini looked at Alexander a little bit incredulously. "All this is done to replace the Fugger's family. If this is the case, the price is too great. Yes, but the most important thing is that I really ca n’t see how much profit I can get from it. "
"My friend, supporting the emperor is of course unlikely to gain much benefit, which we can see from our fellow Fugger's house, but if I tell you that this will allow Austria to successfully contain the French, In your opinion, with Austria ’s strength, how long will it take for France to become involved in this war and cause a financial crisis? "
Buccini was taken aback for a moment, but he really didn't think about it.
In Buccini ’s imagination, Alexander should be more hopeful to quietly erode Italy and even other parts of Europe through the pervasive behemoth of the FTA.
But even so, he shouldn't rush into France's idea, but now it seems that Buccini is a little unsure of his judgment.
"Think about it, friend," Alexander showed a little bit of dissatisfaction. He gently pointed to the letter in front of Buccini. "We may not really go to the French idea, but you have to know when you bring After your Presbyterian Church has agreed to your suggestion and the news of my cooperation, the interests of all of us are really combined, and this time I want to tell you that you are facing more than Europe, but also There will be a whole new world waiting for you. "
Several men in tattered robes walked slowly on the ramp not far from the gate of the palace. Because of the high position, the guards at the gate of the palace could clearly see that these people were not in their hats. Lenio.
This kind of thing called Lenio is a dagger, this kind of small size, whether it is a handle or a scabbard, because it is very strong wood, the small weapon named after it seems to the locals whether it is annoying or extortion , Are very good guys.
Locals like to hide Lenio in a headscarf or boots that do not seem to threaten. If they catch up with urgent matters, they will be held in their hands. The swollen knife handle and the same swollen scabbard look like a short bar from the outside. The little wooden stick is unremarkable, but once this kind of thing is pulled out, the slightly curved sharp blade is enough to cause fatal injury.
The guards ignored the men who were looking for trouble somewhere at first sight. People like Palermo are everywhere. Many families have become tough-talked and domineering because of their large families. The same ancestor was connected by a blood relationship to form an unbreakable bond, and the strong Sicilian family concept has also contributed to this kind of kinship.
In the eyes of these families, the laws of the kingdom cannot be compared with their family rules, or if anyone bullies one of them, it is really equivalent to offending them and the whole family, this family will call friends It's never good to go back to the door and not to find the scene.
Such a person later became a famous "black claw" because of their gangs and because of their origin in Sicily.
But now they are just a small group of people who are wandering around with Lenio.
The guard took his gaze back and turned to look at the open gate of the palace. When he saw a beautiful woman flashing through the courtyard, the guard shook his head secretly.
The woman was the daughter of the former Miyazaki. Speaking of that, the unlucky Gomez Miyazaki had already turned into a dead bone, and because it was said that the dead were not so honored, the honor he could get after death was also Not much.
His family returned to Aragon shortly after the bloodstained night, or simply said that they were expelled from Sicily by the noble parliamentary group at the time, but now the daughter of the former mammoth minister has returned, but now her identity It is the wife of Sicily's Governor Flamenza.
The guard's eyes were attracted by the governor's wife, so he did not notice that the men who had passed the ramp below were closely watching the direction of the palace.
Shortly after bypassing the gate of the palace, these people entered an inconspicuous alley, and moved forward along the inclined lane. Until they reached the end of the alley, the T-shaped fork was directly opposite the door of a house. before.
After a few hard knocks, the door rang and several people walked in.
An old man with grey hair who was already in his age was staring at the door and saw several people coming in. He first waved his hand to signal them to sit down, and then his eyes swept across the faces of several people one by one.
"Tell me what you all saw."
"Dad, the palace is very strict," one of the younger ones picked up a piece of bone from the plate in front of him that seemed to have just eaten half of the bone, and nibbled and said "but why do we have to save the count?" Ah, how much can he give us? "
The old man looked at the man who didn't say anything. His eyes fell on the face of a middle-aged man who was clearly the leader. "Tell me, do you find it difficult to handle?"
"Say bad, we haven't been in the palace for a long time. Daddy. You know that we have been honest since the night. After all, many people died at that time. My two brothers died on that night. Now, their widows are still worried about how to survive the past. "
The old man nodded silently. He did n’t blame these people for seemingly shy. After all, the turmoil that broke out in Palermo a few years ago terrified the courage of too many people, but more importantly, the Sicilian Governor and the past The agents of the kings are completely different.
Until the time of the Gomez palace, the agent of the King of Aragon in Sicily was friendly and kind to this land. Although some of them have once been arrogant and full of money, but in general Sicilian Getting along with those Aragonese rulers is not bad.
Whether it is aristocrats or civilians, people often see the Sicilian palace as a symbol, and the rulers who are sent here mostly want to leave here and return to Aragon as soon as their term expires. Native.
But it all ended with the death of Gomez.
Flamenca was a cruel and terrible ruler. When he first arrived in Sicily, many people did not realize this, but after less than a month, the Sicilian people knew his coldness and ruthlessness.
The noble parliamentary group was disbanded by force, and many of them were faced with trial for treason. For those who had participated in the night of bloodstaining, Flamenza was holding the attitude of Ning killing the wrong, throughout the Palestinian Mo took a nearly search and sentence.
Many people chose to escape Palermo because of the fear of the governor. After all, Aragon has ruled Sicily for so many years, but it is those big cities that are really in their hands, and some remote places are still safe.
But many people obviously underestimated the determination of Flamenza to try to reintegrate Sicily under the rule of King Aragon. He sent his army to search everywhere, unless they had escaped far away, some just hid in Palermo The nobles and civilians who took refuge in rural farmhouses in the suburbs were still cruelly arrested.
The gallows used to hang people are not short of wood, and the execution racks that are erected quickly everywhere are creepy, and for a time, Flamenza is going to reproduce the style of the Iberian religious trial in Sicily.
At this time, no one does not feel afraid, even for the Sicilians, the ruthless of Flamenca did indeed make them frightened.
"We have to find a way to get into the palace," the old man said to several people. "It would be dangerous for the count to stay in it for too long."
"But dad, why do we have to save the nobleman, our own life is not good enough now." One person said with a little dissatisfaction, his words clearly said the voice of other people, except for the other few people who led Also echoed, the young man who was chewing on the bones nodded.
"Why is that?" The old man asked a question and looked at a few people. He seemed to have figured out how to answer it, and then suddenly grabbed one of them, Lenio, who was on the table, and pulled it out sharply. thorn!
A slamming "bang" was accompanied by a scream, and the left hand of the person who asked why he was resting on the table was nailed the table by Lenio!
"You ask why, this is the answer I gave you." The old man stared at a few people who seemed to be frightened. "Listen, I know that you are scared now. In fact, I am not much better than you, but rescued the count. Nothing is discussed. "
Although there were many people, no one dared to stand up and confront the old man. Looking at the painful moaning companion, several people could not help but secretly licked their lips and looked at each other.
The old man watched the people shaking their heads with a little disappointment, pulling his hand, accompanied by another screaming scream, Lenio's short knife drew an arc in the air with a string of blood beads.
The old man opened his mouth, and when he was about to continue speaking, the door of the room was suddenly knocked from outside.
"Someone outside." A man who stood by the door immediately instinctively held Lenio's short knife stuck in his waist. After getting the old man, he carefully opened the door of the room.
Then he looked at a normal-looking man standing outside the door, looking like a hawker everywhere on the street and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Did Father Buschate live here?" The man standing outside smiled at the interrogator. "I brought a message from his relatives in the country to him ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The person looked at this person suspiciously, everyone knows that Father Bushidt is indeed not a Palermo, he was born in the country, and he came to Palermo by himself on his own, so this person Is not impossible.
The man thought about it and said hello to the house: "Daddy, someone outside said that he brought a message for your country relatives."
The old man frowned slightly, he felt a little strange, but nodded his head to let the man open the door and let the man outside enter the house.
But when he saw the man who looked like a foot peddler, the old man, known as Father Bushidt, stood up from the chair at once and whispered with an unstoppable surprise: "Krian ! "
