Vol 7 Chapter 90: War is coming

Louis twelve looked at the back of the emissary who had just left.
This was an unsuccessful negotiation. Although Louis XII had given very good conditions, the Venetians were clearly determined. The only thing they asked the French to do was to withdraw from Italy.
Especially after hearing the news of the withdrawal of the Naples army from Rome, the Venetian's attitude became more firm.
On the contrary, after hearing this news, Louis XII's only hope of negotiating with the Neapolitans was completely shattered.
Louis XII was very strange. He did not believe that the Queen of Naples could withstand the temptation to rule Rome, but the reality was that Russa chose to withdraw from this fascinating city after everyone occupied Rome for 9 days, and then lead Going north, trying to fight the French.
Standing in front of the map, Louis XII carefully looked at some obvious boundaries on the map. Louis XII suddenly felt that he seemed to understand something.
This is the latest map of Italy that someone gave Louis XII after the establishment of the Roman Principality of Notthesia recently. Although it still seems quite rough, it is already one of the most detailed maps of the era.
But for those Italian monarchs who had also heard of this map, when they knew that the king of France had such a detailed map of the Italian peninsula, they naturally understood Louis XII's ambitions.
It was just that Louis XII did not conceal his ambitions for Italy. He even let many messengers from the peninsula see this map with his own eyes, but now this map has given Louis XII new inspiration.
He called Charalon. While waiting, he drew a striking boundary on the map with a pen dipped in red ink, and then after Charalon arrived, he directly put the map Pushed in front of Charlene.
Charlen looked at the map for a while and then sighed softly: "The ambition of the Duke of Thesia in Rome is really not small."
"So the war between me and him is unavoidable," Louis XII and Charlene tilted their heads and looked at the map on the table. "Look at their attempts. Naples and Roma Thesia took the entire left bank of the peninsula together. It has been completely controlled. They even sealed off all the coastal coasts from Genoa through the Tyrrhenian Sea into the Mediterranean, and because of the threat of Ottoman, the Venetians have no second slave from Asia except with them. The chance of the Adriatic Sea entering the Mediterranean Sea, and that Gombré, he even established a border between him from Rome Thesia and Lombardy. His intention was obvious, he could give up Lombardy, but he wanted to Master the whole ... "
Louis XII said that he drew a circle on the outline of the peninsula.
"This war is inevitable, Your Majesty." Charlene's voice was a little dry. After dealing with Alexander a few times, he already knew how difficult this young monarch was to deal with, even if he didn't seem to be in Italy now, but everything It still seems to be under his control.
"I have ordered Bowwicken to attack Pisa, but this is not the most important thing. I now want to know if I can trust you, General Sharon?"
Looking at the look of Louis XII's question, Charlene bowed his head and said, "Please, Your Majesty."
"Take the Montina castle for me. I do n’t care whether the Duchess of Rome Thesia is in the castle. Since she is stubborn and refuses to surrender, she must be prepared to accept what happens next, even if she herself is What happened in the following disasters can only be said to be God's arrangement. "
Listening to the unobtrusive murderous opportunity revealed by Louis XII, Charlene's heart twitched slightly, he knew that the king had been completely irritated, and the recent troubles about the country also made the king's determination to break the deadlock as soon as possible. the reason.
Then the next inevitable hard fight is imminent.
Louis XII was obviously a person with a decisive and decisive personality. Once he made up his mind, he would never drag on the mud. On the second day of the attack he decided to attack Montina, a French army of about 13,000 people led by Charlene He quickly moved in the direction of Montina.
Without encountering any resistance, two days later, the French striker had arrived and could vaguely see the blurry silhouette of Montina Castle on the rather steep but weak hill of Verga.
At this time, the scorching sun threw fiery arrows from the sky to the earth unscrupulously. The French soldiers were sweating on the bare dirt road while cursing this ghost place.
Montina was clearly different from what the generals told them when they set off. The only thing commendable here is the flat road that makes everyone feel surprised. This is a high place that will not appear anywhere today. The high-level "national road", even French soldiers said that as long as they do not deviate, even if they sleep on this road, they will not fall.
But apart from this road, the "capital" of the Principality of Rome Thesia has nothing.
There are no silhouettes, no vineyards, no apple tree with thirst-quenching fruits, and even the fields are bare wheat field with no visible head cut.
I do n’t remember the first one. Charlene saw an empty village that was completely empty. There was hardly anything useful in the village. Some people saw the shredded in some corrals. Bran, except for these, no grain was found.
Charlene was obviously disturbed. He vaguely knew what the Roman Thesias were doing, but he was not sure they could really do it. After all, such a move might cause dissatisfaction or even protests from the people in the territory. Erlun did not believe that the Duchess of Rome Thesia had such great courage to dare to implement such means.
But in fact, when the French army penetrated into the interior of Montina, and then can already see the castle of Montina, Charlene was finally determined that the Roman Thesia really implemented an incredible strategy for him.
"The Duke of Rome Thesia himself is not out of the country as rumored."
This was Charalon ’s first reaction after drawing a conclusion, but he quickly overturned this idea. After all, if the duke is really not in the country, with his knowledge of the duke, he probably had already personally Jump out and make waves, instead of letting his wife, sister and lover come forward.
So, is your current opponent actually the Duchess?
Charlene felt a little helpless and even annoyed by this conclusion, but as he approached Montina, he gradually put away the contempt for the Duchess, especially some local people. After what happened in Montina before, he began to look squarely at the Duchess.
"We may have a tough fight to fight," Charlene ended his leisurely march on the last day, and after his camp, he said to his generals, "The army of Roma Thesia is now divided into two parts, one by the one. The Duchess herself guards Montina, while the other is led by General Gompati, who is under the leadership of Gombré. They are now guarding the east bank of the Sequina River behind Montina. "
"We can bomb the castle with cannons," a general said with some excitement. "Maybe they think we are like the Tatars, they will retreat as soon as they can't siege, but our cannons will let them know they are wrong."
Looking at his confident men, Charlene didn't speak. Although he hadn't seen the castle yet, he vaguely felt that the Roman Thesias should have more than that.
On July 2, 1501, the French Charalon arrived outside Montina.
Looking at the magnificent castle that is still far from being completed, but now it is enough to make people speechless, Charlene felt that he saw a huge and terrifying monster.
The huge fortifications formed by the combination of protruding grim corners and cold-toned stones give people the feeling of not only the oppression often found in castles, but also a kind of defensive situation in which the opponent is in defense, but there is a kind of attacker Going to a monster that might break the bloodthirsty butchery at any time.
Charlene found a slightly higher place to look at the castle. He noticed that the castle not only broke many of the previous construction practices, but also completely absorbed and borrowed the various conveniences on the terrain to strengthen the defense. Looking at the tricky shooting guns on the protruding bastions that could be clearly distinguished, and the independent fortresses that were built in front of the castle and digging in the crisscross anti-proximity trenches and large areas, Sherron realized that this was a real A terrible building for the purpose of killing, a bloodthirsty beast that was lucky to be trapped in place.
"Gombre, what kind of monster did you make." Charlene whispered to himself, and then he looked back at the artillery that was slowly coming from behind in the thick smoke.
"Build a position at once and then bombard the castle with cannons," Charlene commanded in a low voice. "We must make sure that these Roman Thesias are first frightened by our artillery. Only by shaking their courage can we have a chance Capture this castle, otherwise ... "
"Otherwise? Adult?"
The general around asked some questions.
"Nothing, just do it according to my orders." Charlene didn't answer his questions. He couldn't say his concerns, but looking at the rugged castle, Charlene felt like a The terrible beast has opened its mouth wide, waiting for prey or sacrifice to come to the door.
Aufrei knelt in front of the altar in the church, hands clasped the cross on his chest, I wondered whether it was because of the hot weather or because of the tense mood, his forehead was sweating, even in the shade of the roof of the church, he still felt Less than comfortable.
"Captain, you have been here for a long time."
A gentle voice rang from the side, and Aufrei raised his head to see the smiling face of the priest. Since the Bishop Lord was lit up with a sky lantern, no one had dared to come to Montina as a bishop for a long time, and then happened to During the inspection, the Duchess found the priest named Valverdeola from a village, and then the priest, who was originally only a small village church, became the acting bishop of the parish of Montina.
"Sorry priest, I think I need to be comforted by the Lord." Aufrei said apologetically.
"No, the Lord has given you enough comfort. What you need now is relief from mortals. Maybe then you can really understand what kind of revelation the Lord has given you."
The priest said disapprovingly, and then pointed in the direction of the church door.
Aufrei looked back and saw Ashley standing under the gate of the church, his face flushed slightly.
"Go boy, God used Adam's ribs to make Eve, and nothing else, just to strengthen the man who might become weak at this time." The priest patted O'Leiy's shoulder lightly And then ignored him and turned to pray for the cross.
Aufrei walked towards the door in a trance, and unknowingly walked with Ashley to a vacant space like a hot air.
"Your prayer is over?" Ashley asked, looking at the sweaty Aufrei.
"No, not yet ..." Aufrei said, then paused again, then he sighed, "Do you know Ashley, I'm nervous now."
"I know, I know." Ashley hugged Aufrei gently. "Father Valvedola said to me, he said you were very bad these two days, although he can't confess to you. Tell me, but he said you ca n’t look like this. "
"I ’m afraid you understand, Ashley, I ’ve been commanding the army for the Duke, but I ’ve never commanded such battles. Know that if it ’s in Lombardy, in Rome or anywhere, I ’m not so afraid. , But this is Montina, if I am wrong, if I lost the battle because of mistakes? "Aufrei whispered" I am really scared, if the Duke is there. "
"But didn't the Duke let you hold Montina for him because of trusting you?" Ashley hugged her husband's face in both hands and asked him and himself to look at each other. "You think the Duke would find a fool so blindly. Looking at home for him, or do you think the Duke is a fool himself? "
O'Leary opened his mouth in shock because of Ashley's words. He looked around in a panic until he found that only the two of them were a little relieved in this hot open space: "You are so brave, dare to say The Duke is a fool. "
"I just said to my husband," Ashley smiled when she looked at Alfrei. "And isn't this your idea, otherwise how could you doubt the Duke's decision, he handed Montina It ’s just like giving the whole Duchy to the Duchess. Do you think the Duchess is not competent?

"Of course not, the Duchess is the wisest woman I have ever seen ..." Aufrei stopped, then lowered his voice and said, "One, the other should be you."
Hearing her husband ’s praise, Ashley ’s smiling eyes bent, she slightly ticked her finger at Aufrei, gestured with the eyes of both people, and then pulled Affrei ’s hand towards Walking in the direction of her home, she whispered, "We don't have much time. God knows how busy you are next. Those French people really hate it."
Suffered by his wife's words, Aufrei suddenly felt that the road was a little too far, so he simply pulled Ashley to his horse tied to the shade of the tree, but he didn't wait for him to put his wife on the horse , A big voice suddenly came from behind them: "You actually kiss me here, this is in front of the church."
Hearing that voice, Ashley turned back helplessly, watching her father stare at Afflé's disgusted face. Ashley whispered, "Father, I'm married, don't I be close to my husband Is there something wrong? "
Listening to his daughter, Pompeii looked at his son-in-law with disgust. The court supervisor of the Principality of Rome Thesia did not have a grandson for himself because of the change in his identity today. Something changed. After pouting, Pompeni said to O'Fleui: "I just came over from the city wall. I think some places still need to be strengthened. Do you remember what I said, since Gonzalo has Can threaten the artillery of the castle, then there is no guarantee that our enemies are not. "
"Can the French artillery do it?" Aufrei was awake a lot at once. "Maybe we should thicken some places, but we have prepared enough stones before."
"No, I need it now is not a stone," Pompeni said, ignoring his daughter's dissatisfaction, and pulled Affray to the distance. "What we need is a sandbag. Do you know that I asked you to go from Sekina?" The sandbags that were filled up after being transported back on the river beach, I now want you to hurry and send the soldiers to the wall part of the city, I believe that my thing can deal with shells better than the stone wall. Widow, it ’s best to listen carefully ... "
Looking at the couple who walked away, Ashley fell helplessly, but she immediately turned around and walked towards the palace, because she remembered the clear stipulation in the mobilization order issued by the Duchess: all Tina women, including nobles and civilians, will support the battle on the front lines by means of embroidery, craftsmanship, baking food and brewing wine.
The entire Montina is preparing for battle, even the children no longer run around because of the tense atmosphere.
Especially after the end of May, the tense atmosphere made the Montina people clearly smell the smoke.
And now, the French finally called.
Balenti stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself carefully. She first looked at the ordinary face in the mirror and frowned slightly. This was her most dissatisfied. When she thought of Alexander's love for a beautiful face, Balendi didn't care for God. I regret that I made it so beautiful.
But when her eyes fell on her body, she nodded slightly.
It's clear how much Alexander is obsessed with her body, Barenti, which makes her feel that she is at least as good as the pizza or the Wallachia in this respect.
As for the queen of Naples ...
Barendi decided not to think about her, after all, those secrets that would make her uneasy even if you think about it.
Then, when the next woman officer walked over with a crown inlaid with jewels respectfully, Barrondi looked at herself in the mirror and showed the pride of the winner ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Alexander's woman Maybe many, but there is only one Duchess of Rome Theseia, and she is the sole owner of this crown.
Put on the crown and took the scepter from the Regent Principal presented by another female officer. Barenti walked to a door and stopped. She took a breath and then gestured slightly to the servant at the door.
The two doors opened slowly, and Barenti stepped forward slowly, accompanied by the female officer.
There was a dull yet violent collision of armor and saber through the oppression, and Barenti looked into the room.
A group of officers had been waiting there, and after seeing her, the officers bowed to salute.
Barendi couldn't help but squeeze the scepter in her hand. She slowly walked through the officers to the throne, but instead of sitting down, she stood there and looked at the soldiers.
After a brief silence, Barrondi took an order from the servant next to her. She first looked at it and then said: "The Duke gave me the power to supervise my country. Here I declare the war with the Kingdom of France. For the war of the country, the whole country must work hard and fulfill its duties, "said Barenti for a moment, then suddenly raised his scepter high and tried his best to issue a cry of" War! "
"War !!!"
Screamed through the room all at once.
