Vol 7 Chapter 59: February 29

Latest website: According to the order sent from Valladolid, nobles from all over Andalusia need to send at least one person to Seville to order the nobles to be admitted as responding to the Queen ’s order. .
Although it is stipulated that only one person needs to be sent, it is often a family of people who come to Seville. Some close ones are simply those nobles who bring their army to join the preparations of the Seville royal army. Go north together.
Therefore, Seville is very busy during this time, and a large number of people often enter the city every day. These large and small nobles from all over Andalusia are flooding the streets of the city, and they can be seen everywhere. Horse dung's excrement can be seen more loudly in the taverns or brothels, which may cause trouble at any time and any place.
Carole was very concerned about the troubles caused by the soldiers of the nobles in the city. He knew that this might be the source of the riots caused by Don Bavi. So he ordered the nobles to restrain their men while hesitating. After that, it was decided to order the army of Philippe Castle to enter Seville.
February 19, 1501.
The soldiers on the walls of Seville started patrolling early this day.
Because the period of time in the city was not so peaceful, according to the order of the consul, the number of troops deployed on the city wall increased a lot, and near the city gate, two more powerful artillery was added.
There is a faint mist on the river in the distance, slightly cold and moist air, breathing a little suffocating, the soldiers guarding the lookout tower of the city wall looked at the river habitually, preparing Turned away and walked away, but a dark shadow in the distance suddenly caught his attention.
The soldier climbed up on the city wall and looked carefully at the river in the distance. As the shadow became closer, the soldier finally realized that it was an army that was approaching quickly from the bridge connecting Gwadar to the city gate. .
The soldier immediately shouted to the officer under the city wall. When the officer who heard the sound ran up the wall, the army had already crossed the bridge over the Gwadar River and came to a place not far below the city wall.
Looking at the banner in front of the team, the officer immediately recognized that it was the king of the Philippe Castle. Although it was strange how the king suddenly entered Seville at this time, the officer knew that this was not what he should care about, so the After seeing the origin of the opponent, the officer immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.
The emergence of Wang Jun was very sudden, which made the city defense troops on the wall beyond curiosity and could not help but talk about it. Some well-informed people have vaguely guessed that this may be related to the noble army during this period of time, but more People think that maybe they thought they were the same as before, and they might have to delay the sending of troops for some time this time.
The city gate was opened, and Wang Jun quickly flowed into the city under the guidance of the flag.
Somehow, watching the unusually silent Wang Jun rush into the city from under his feet, the officer standing above the gate inexplicably shivered.
Wang Jun is a new army established by Isabella in the era of regaining the lost ground. This army formed by the budding queen Ai Gonzalo at that time is different from the noble army in many places. The most obvious ones are these. The army is only loyal to the queen.
The number of kings stationed in various regions varied. These were saved from the dissolution and withdrawal and remained in the local army after the end of the Renaissance War. This became the first step for Isabella to penetrate into the aristocratic territories. Also from that time, some reactions The keen aristocracy had realized Isabella's intention to regain power and cut the vassal.
The position of the new army is very special everywhere. The Queen ’s orders from the Queen ’s local consuls are well-equipped. When necessary, the army, which has maintained strict training throughout the year, can quickly gather to rush to any place in its own defense area to carry out its mission. This made the nobles feel a huge threat.
It ’s just that Isabella thinks that the establishment and command of the king ’s army probably needs so many places that are different from the aristocratic army, so in addition to Gonzalo ’s own command, the king ’s army is called the elite army. In addition, the place where the Queen ’s concern to the king ’s army is whether the training and the number can reach the time she thinks it is necessary to quell any noble rebellion. As for the logistics supply of the king ’s army, Isabelle gave it to her completely. Consul.
Compared with other consuls, Caroline is one of them who pays more attention to Wang Jun, because he understands the Queen ’s intentions better than others.
But even so, Carole is not very clear who these kings are usually dealing with, and how they lived in Philip Castle.
The soldiers of the king army quickly vented into the streets of the city like a raging flood. Soon the shadow of the king army appeared in the main places such as Seville Cathedral, and some early citizens watched Suddenly appearing on the street, Wang Jun couldn't help but stop curiously and nervously to discuss.
The sun had already come out, and I had drunk a few nights in the tavern. The night was full of alcohol, and I strolled on the street. They were still pouring rum in their mouths, and they talked and talked. The women who met in the pub the night before.
As they chatted in full swing, there was suddenly a mess of heavy footsteps across the otherwise quiet street.
These people stopped and looked at the distance in confusion. They could hear a lot of people coming across, but when they saw a whole group of soldiers appearing on the street and quickly approached, these first were stunned. Then, he immediately hid to the side of the road, preparing to make way for the suddenly appearing army.
But they felt strange without taking a few steps. Perhaps the fighting experience on the battlefield made them have a different sense of danger than ordinary people. These people suddenly have a sense of danger that this army is against them.
But when they became aware of the danger, it was too late. The first few people in the rapidly approaching army had raised their crossbows under the shield. With the sound of the wind breaking from a crossbow, the moments The oncoming crossbow arrows shot into hedgehogs.
The troops did not stop, they hurriedly stepped on the blood from the people who were shot down, and the boots left scarlet footprints on the ground.
Caroline got up a little late this day, which is also the most relaxing night he has been sleeping in these days.
He had long considered whether to order Wang Jun into the city, because he was hesitant to worry about the conflict between the Wang Jun and the noble army, and he was hesitant to think about the Queen ’s desire to use gentle means to collect power from the nobles Luo Lai is very clear, and it is precisely because of this, although he thinks that Don Bavey has shown his rebellion, but in order not to arouse greater contradictions among the Andalusian nobility, he has been planning everything in secret.
Even he has thought about it, even if he finds the whereabouts of Don Bavey, as long as it is not a last resort, he is still willing to secretly solve the biggest trouble in the queen's mind by preserving dignity.
However, the development of the situation made him finally give up his efforts. He realized that this matter must be resolved before the war with Portugal. Then the previous way of trying to minimize the impact is obviously not possible. Cutting the fan is not a dinner, more If you can't be gentle, you will have to roll your head and shed blood.
Caroline, who had finally made up his mind, gave the order to let Wang Jun enter the city, and then suddenly the relaxed consul had a good dream.
A gleam of light leaked into the gap between the thick curtains, and Caroline lay in the warm blanket, and he wanted to sleep for a while, but the rapid footsteps outside disturbed him.
The door was unreasonably pushed open, and several people hurried to the consul's bed, and one of them even did not wait for Caroline to open his hand and pushed his shoulder hard.
"Okay, I'm awake. Is there anything?" Carolyn asked unpleasantly.
"Sir, Wang Jun has entered the city." The men said excitedly.
"Isn't that great, the nobles should be more honest now," Caroly leaned on the pillow and looked at a few men, seeing them silently looking at each other, under his impatient quilt. He stretched out his chubby arm and waved his hand. "What's the matter with you, what happened?"
"Admiral, Wang Jun clashed with the army of nobles in the city," one of his men finally said. "Now some nobles are summoning the army, and things seem a bit bad."
"What? Did Don Bavi start?" Caroline immediately lifted the quilt and jumped from the bed. He ignored his own glamour and let the busy servant put on his coat, and hurriedly asked him. "He Somewhere, I immediately ordered Wang Jun to dispatch him to catch him up. By the way, if he is stubborn, he should not have any scruples. The queen is already tired of this matter, so she must solve this trouble as soon as possible. "
Hearing Caroline's series of orders, the men had to watch him carefully until the consul noticed that the atmosphere seemed a bit wrong.
"What's going on, what are you still doing, or is there something you didn't say?"
"Adult, not Tang Bawei, it was the nobles. The Wang Jun and their people clashed in the city. Now there are riots in many parts of the city, and the nobles began to gather troops."
Caroline paused dumbly. He looked at his men in disbelief. Then he suddenly understood and asked with a surprised face: "Wait a moment, you mean that Wang Jun took the initiative to stir up the dispute?"
"Yes, or not, some people said that they saw a noble guard attacking Wang Jun, but some people said that Wang Jun killed them, but these are not important anymore. The city is now in chaos."
Caroline ’s face became difficult to look at in an instant. In his imagination, the army of the king had a great deterrent effect. As long as he entered Seville, he could deter those aristocratic nobles and at the same time, he could also prevent things that Don Bavey might cause. .
However, the development of the current situation has completely exceeded his expectations. The nobles were not deterred. Instead, they clashed with the Wang Jun. In his mind, he should have been the king of the trump card, but he just entered the city. Falling into conflict and chaos with the nobles.
"Go to prepare horses, what are you waiting for, to calm things down as soon as possible!" Caroly spearheaded out, and at the same time kept giving orders "Help me find the general Wang Jun, I want them Come and see me immediately, as well as summon all the city defense troops to defend the official mansion, in case someone is taking advantage of the situation. "
The men who heard the order immediately followed their orders, and when they came to the yard, looking at the horses that had been prepared, Carole exhaled a little and turned over with the help of the servant.
"Listen, no one is allowed to approach the mansion after I leave, and anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!"
After issuing such a severe order, Carole rushed out of the mansion with a team of guards, and ran towards the city where the hustle and bustle could be heard faintly.
Seville is crying. This Andalusia, also the most prosperous city in the south of Castile and even the entire Iberian Peninsula, is now facing a disaster.
There was chaos everywhere, citizens everywhere who panicked and fled because of the conflict, from the sporadic conflict between the aristocratic guards and the Wang Jun soldiers to the rapid expansion of the situation after the bloodshed, everything seemed so sudden and fast It's unimaginable, almost no one knows where and when this chaos was caused, but it seems that chaos and riots swept across the city for a short while, and then the chaos quickly spread to other parts of the city. Spread out.
Caroline ran along the street with the guards. He saw several people on the road who were robbing the facade of the house. After being arrested under his orders, the people were hanged under the eaves on the spot, which immediately shocked them. With the other guys with bad ideas on this street, it's just that as the situation continues to get worse, Carole has no time to take care of the small things of robbery and business and violations of women.
He led the guard all the way forward, and when he finally saw a decent team of kings, he immediately yelled at the army, but the other party did not seem to intend to deal with them. After seeing the flag of the consul, The team of kings immediately ran along the street to the distance, leaving only Caroline with a blank face, and then furious.
He ordered the guard to follow behind the king, and he was already wondering if he found the king ’s commander, he would order him to hang the team at the gate.
The noise outside became more and more fierce, and it was mixed with shouting and cursing, and later it turned into frightened shouts and screams.
Alexander was sitting on a chair in the hall. He was wearing a gorgeous robe. From the robe, he could see the corner of the breastplate that was extremely shiny, and beside him, Xieer stroked the waist of the saber handle, On the side chair, James was examining a row of short muskets on the table in front of him.
This short musket between the lance and the hand gun is powerful, and the wooden stock that can resist the shooting effectively buffers the recoil of the musket when shooting, and although it is only longer than the hand gun, but the caliber is thicker More barrels can shoot more deadly projectiles.
Compared with the less powerful short gun and the inconvenient carrying long gun, James obviously prefers this kind of weapon with both firepower and portability, especially as an experienced pirate leader, he is more aware of this in the convenience of What a handy weapon to use in a narrow space.
A knock on the door sounded ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Shele glanced at Alexander and then walked to the door.
He was not worried that a group of thugs would suddenly break in outside the door, because almost the entire street had already been blocked by the guards and James.
Several military officers gathered around Don Bavi in ​​a wheelchair and entered the door. When he saw Alexander's dress, Don Bavi showed a slight smile on his thin face.
He barely raised his trembling hand to pay tribute to Alexandria: "Duke, given that Seville has fallen into a chaotic situation now, and as the governor Fernando Carole can no longer effectively control the situation, at the same time the Archbishop In the case of disappearance, I will take over the city in the name of Her Majesty Queen Duke Buharanse, and I need your help here. "
Looking at the wrinkled face of Don Bavey, Alexander slowly stood up and extended a hand to him: "Duke As you said, in view of the current situation, I replaced Seville in the name of the Vatican and His Majesty the Pope Archbishop Leah and the church announce that they recognize your power to take over the city. "
The words of Alexander made Don Bavi smile on his face, he knew that this first step had been successful.
