Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

The monastery of San Sebaron in Kalibo still stands alone on the cliff. The perennial wind and rain make this ancient monastery look more vicissitudes.

For the sudden arrival of the Aragonese army, the Kalibo did not show much surprise. In fact, because of the inconvenience of transportation and the remoteness, many Kalibo people did not even know that the Sicilian throne had changed, so although the Aragonese army suddenly The appearance caused various suspicions from the locals, but they did not know what it meant.

The arrival of about 6,000 Aragonese troops made the coastal town of Kalibo instantly lively. The women walked out of the house and watched the soldiers passing by the street curiously, while the men stared at them cautiously. , The Aragonese who might cause trouble to themselves.

According to the plan, the Aragonese army will wait for the fleet to return to blockade the sea before launching an attack on Palermo, and the purpose of this is also to give those coalition shakers a chance.

At the same time as sending troops, Ferdinand also began his diplomatic mediation. After sending many messengers to lobby those member countries, Ferdinand believed that the coalition would soon fall apart.

Therefore, the Aragon army did not march north immediately after landing, but temporarily stayed in Kalibo, waiting for the return of the fleet.

Kalibo was obviously unable to provide shelter for so many troops that had suddenly emerged. After requisitioning many houses, the Aragonese had to build camps outside the city.

The commander of this expeditionary army chose his residence in the monastery. The terrain is very high and you can see the whole city from a bird ’s eye view. Although you do n’t need to watch the commander personally, if you can see the fleet from the sea early here Comfort.

The dean of the San Sabaron Monastery is a taciturn person. Even in the face of the respected Aragonese nobility, the dean who was always very shallow only showed his face when he first met, and then it seemed that he never Nothing seems to disappear.

The Aragonese ’s actions so far have been very smooth. The landing at Kalibo was not expected by the coalition. Now the coalition can only completely shrink in Palermo in order to defend their stronghold in Sicily. The Aragonese have plenty of opportunities.

Although the coalition forces occupied Sicily shortly afterwards, the Queen Naples ’announcement of the unification of Sicily clearly had a great impact on Sicily ’s ownership.

This is not just a problem on the battlefield. Even if the coalition can be expelled from Sicily soon, the subsequent troubles are indisputable facts. Armed force reiterates ownership of the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea as another task of the Aragonese army.

Even in the eyes of the Aragonese, this may be more troublesome than defeating the coalition forces.

The Monastery of San Sebaron is still so deserted and slightly gloomy, and there is often no sound other than footsteps walking in it.

This is a quiet and suffocating world. For those who are used to the hustle and bustle outside, it may be crazy to stay here for a short time.

Earl Don Sanchide walked slowly on the promenade of the monastery. As the commander of the expeditionary army, he knew that his task was more to deal with post-war Sicily.

The irritating Flamenca is gone. I believe I will never see the Sicilian Governor again.

Count Don Sanchod knew he would be the next Governor of Sicily, so now he is not thinking about how to defeat the enemy, but what to do next.

This time the Sicilian accident seemed to have made Ferdinand determined. Before he changed the palace that he ruled in Sicily to the governor, he still adopted a relatively tolerant strategy for the local noble Ferdinand, but the invasion of Naples To make him realize that there are a lot of local forces in Sicily that will cause him trouble, which makes Ferdinand have to reconsider how to solve these problems.

These troubles will be solved by the Earl of Don Sandiud for the king. As the king's trusted minister, the earl can take on this mission.

A figure in the distance swayed, and the count unexpectedly discovered that the abbey was approaching. This was the second time he saw the dean after he lived in the monastery of Saint Sebalon.

Although the Monastery of San Sebaron is very old, the dean and dean are not very old. According to the mayor of Kalibo, the dean came to San Sebaron more than a year ago. He succeeded the old dean who seemed to have an emergency and was suddenly called to become the new dean of Saint Seballon.

"God bless you count." The dean who always surrounded himself in an overly generous dark monk's robe greeted Count Don Sanchoude who came across, and after letting him kiss his hand, The monastery did not continue to move forward but stood down and chatted with the earl. "I noticed that your army seems to be here for a while, and I hope this will not disturb the Kalibo quiet."

"Please rest assured that Master Dean, Kalibo is also the king's territory, and our soldiers will not come here." Earl Don Santjud replied respectfully. Although the monastery of San Sebaron is remote, it has been Respect for the church still made the count very cautious.

"Hope, Count, you have to know that the respect for the church is getting weaker and weaker now, just like in Palermo, what you see in those places is too bad."

The seemingly unintentional words of the Abbey aroused the interest of Count Don Santiud, and he immediately asked: "How do you dean, have you stayed in Palermo and Naples?"

"It was there for a while," the monastery's voice seemed to be a little erratic. He and the count said slowly while walking in the yard. "I have seen Bier Palermo by those brutal soldiers The miserable situation when he was dragged out of the room, when he was naked, and the soldiers did not even give him a shy clothes, it was really an insult to the church and even God. "

The Earl of Don Sanchurd silently drew a cross. He had a hunch that the monastery did not seem to tell him these things at random.

"Things happening in Palermo are still a nightmare until now, and it's all because of one person."

The count knew that the Abbey had already spoken the key points, and he waited quietly to hear the answer.

Sure enough, the monastery went on to say: "Alexander Juliant Gumbre, a small figure at the time."

"The Duke of Rome Thesia?" Asked some unexpected Count Don Santiud in a low voice. The king told him about the Duke before coming to Sicily. In fact, if it is not the person now and within easy reach , Ferdinand had sent someone to arrest him and put him in prison.

"Everything that happened in Palermo ’s blood-stained night is related to that person, and even the death of the Gomez Palace is also related to him. Now the results of all this are fulfilled on the Queen of Naples, he and Is she a half-brother and sister? "

The Abbey looked at the thoughtful Earl and lowered his voice, saying: "In fact, that Gombréd was a very strange person. No one knew what his origins were, and no one knew who his father was. His mother, George Anne, was tight-lipped about his life, and anyone who knew his father ’s details seemed reluctant to tell the truth. "

Earl Don Sanchod looked at the abbey strangely. Although he was curious about this topic, he didn't quite understand why the abbey was so keen on it.

Seeming to be aware of the count's doubts, the monastery nodded slightly to Count Don Sanchod, then walked slowly towards his room, leaving only the count looking at his back thoughtfully. Pondering.

The news of the landing of the Aragonese army in Kalibo brought a turmoil to Palermo. In the past, many locals who had been quite active after the arrival of the Naples began to become uneasy. Some of them were eager to wait. Others explained that they were just forced. Some found the familiar coalition generals and asked them quietly whether the coalition would leave Sicily and whether they could take them if they wanted to go.

Ruosha noticed the uneasy atmosphere in Palermo, but she didn't seem to take it seriously.

She ordered the Naples army to guard those important areas of Palermo, and ordered the coalition fleet to sail out of port.

Ruosha's decision surprised the coalition generals. Many people thought that the fleet was their only retreat. At this time, letting the fleet leave Palermo is undoubtedly a self-cutting retreat.

The coalition generals eagerly found Zuosha and wanted her to change her mind, but in exchange for Zuosha's harsh rebuke: "Maybe this is indeed a self-cutting retreat for us, but why haven't you thought that the Aragonese are not Are you taking the same risks as us, or have you never thought that the Aragonites would respond to our occupation of Sicily? "

"Your Majesty, the Aragonese came too fast, yes, it was too fast. We are not prepared at all."

A general replied a little anxiously, and the others looked at the queen anxiously.

"So you are timid because of this," Ruo Sha lowered her lips slightly, her gaze swept over the generals in front of her, and there was an undisguised contempt in her look. "Don't you think that the Aragonese can come so fast, exactly It means that they are also unprepared. I sent the fleet to intercept the ships carrying the Aragonese army. When you think that I will retreat, I also intercepted the retreat of the Aragonese. Since we are destined to In Sicily, there is a decisive battle with the Aragonese, so I will never flinch from cowardice. "

Ruosha said that she stood up at the end. Even though she stood up straight, she still looked petite and graceful in front of the burly soldiers, but her expression made the generals involuntarily bow their heads in front of her.

At this moment, these talents thought that it was not just a queen who stood in front of them, or the leader who had led the Allied forces to defeat the powerful French army in Italy, forcing France to not sign a contract with the King of West.

"The Aragonese may want to wait for their fleet, but I will not let them do it. Since they have stepped on the land of Sicily, they have no right to choose how to fight, so I have decided not to wait for the enemy to come. , But took the initiative to fight against the Aragonese. "

As soon as Luo Sha's words fell, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

Many people's faces have changed color, they look at each other, and they all see surprises and uneasiness in the other person's eyes.

In the eyes of many people in the coalition, Palermo can be said to be the best choice to confront the enemy with a solid defense, because even if they finally fail, they can use the surrender city as a bargaining chip in exchange.

But if you leave Palermo and go deep into the Sicilian hinterland, it means that they are going to throw everything in without reservation.

Although success is quite profitable, but if it fails, it must pay a price that may not be able to bear.

The generals looked at each other, and they hoped that someone would object, even if they asked some trivial questions, they had enough excuses

But soon everyone noticed that no one was willing to do this. What's more subtle is that they saw the same thoughts in others' eyes as they wanted others to stand up.

At this moment, the coalition generals thought of not only the extraordinary commanding ability that Russa showed in the Italian war, but also her image on the Ladia gold coin that had already penetrated the hearts of the people.

Zuosha Cosenza Astamara is a bright queen in the eyes of civilians and a commander in the minds of soldiers, but in the eyes of those trade union businessmen, she represents endless wealth.

They will not forget that when facing the French, almost everyone is not optimistic about the disadvantage of the trade union, this queen has created a miracle that no one could have imagined before, and then a huge pull in France The currency trend of Dia is even more profitable for everyone involved.

France even once became a feast that was torn and swallowed by countless people at that feast, and all this is a masterpiece of this beautiful young queen.

Since she was able to overcome or even tore a piece of fat from the French in that unfavorable situation, what about today?

Such thoughts are slowly brewing in everyone's hearts, and at the same time looking at other people, their eyes are flashing with calculation, and no one wants more people to share the benefits. A good time to find a way to kick other people out.

The atmosphere in the room instantly became weird. Everyone wanted others to make stupid decisions, but in the end they discovered that no one seemed willing to be a fool in the eyes of others.

There was a trace of pride in Ruosha's eyes. When everyone thought she was complacent as she had just become Queen of Sicily, in fact, she kept meeting privately with all the coalition generals. She made all kinds of promises to them. The key is She made everyone aware of the strong confidence she had in guarding Sicily.

"Follow me, you can get the wealth you dreamed of, and Sicily will open your arms to all of you," Ruosha's eyes crossed the people in front of her and looked into the distance. "The Ottomans have controlled the eastern Mediterranean, and Venice lost their overseas occupation All the islands, and Portugal and Castile are fighting for the new colonies on the Atlantic, are you willing to give up this last chance to control the western Mediterranean? "

The eyes of the coalition generals became hot. They knew that Ruosha was right. Today, the Mediterranean is undergoing earth-shaking changes. Venice, the lord of the sea, is facing strong pressure from the Ottomans and has penetrated into the European inland trade union. The development in the Mediterranean has also encountered the first bottleneck. At this time, if the control of the Mediterranean region cannot be smoothly expanded, then the trade union will not be able to continue to expand.

This is not a small test for all members of the trade union. If this shackle cannot be broken, the trade union will be imprisoned in the West Bank of the Mediterranean and it is difficult to have the opportunity to continue to grow stronger.

"This will cause a big war." A general stared at the colorful tiles with delicate patterns under his feet and murmured to himself. He was originally just a textile merchant in a small coastal city, and his chance of coincidence made him a trade union. The agent of the Port of Manfredonia not far from his hometown, and with the military experience he had in his early years, he became the commander of the Manfredonia in the coalition.

"But it also makes us rich, doesn't it?" Although the voice of the other person was very low, he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart. "We beat the French. They are much more than the Aragonese. This is not enough. ?"

"But Aragon's fleet ..." Some people rebelled anxiously, although they immediately regretted seeing the encouraging eyes of others, but the general continued to say "Our warship may be able to transport Aragon The army ships are driven away, but their fleet is not something we can deal with, so if this threat cannot be resolved, even if we defeat them on the island, we will eventually be at a disadvantage. "

"Your thoughts are right. Aragon's fleet is indeed a big threat," Ruosha replied, letting the generals' original high emotions slightly helpless, and looking at their heavy-hearted look, Ruosha's slightly majestic face suddenly appeared. A smile "But if I can guarantee that the Aragonese fleet cannot threaten Sicily, or at least they cannot block the entire Sicilian coast, what do you think will happen?"

The generals looked at Zuosha in disbelief. They knew exactly what Zuosha meant. If they could really stop the Aragonese from blocking the entire Sicilian coast, then the trade union could continuously provide huge help to Sicily. It is impossible for Aragon to contend with the entire huge trade alliance in the long run.

What's more, the road to support Sicily from all parts of Italy is much closer than that of the Aragonese expedition by the laborers ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ Even from Reggio Carrebre, the southernmost tip of Italy, to Messina A strait that is less than 1 mile wide at its narrowest point.

"Ferdinand may think he can intimidate me, but he has forgotten that I am the queen of Sicily." Zuo Sha announced to the generals in front of him, "I will declare my dominance over Sicily to the Vatican, and I need what you do That is to use a victory to make the veterans of the Holy See have to face my statement. "

Listening to the Queen's unabashed display of her ambition for Sicily, the coalition generals couldn't help but feel throbbing. They knew they seemed to see the Queen of Naples who appeared on the battlefield before the battle with the French.

That time she won her own victory, also heralded the rise of the Kingdom of Naples.

This time, she wanted to prove that she was qualified to be the ruler of Sicily.

At the end of December, the coalition took the initiative to attack Kalibo. At the same time, the Wallachia army left Messina and entered Kalibo.
