Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Several men with soft cloth caps, wearing the local Leno short-knife, walked slowly across the street not far from the gate of the palace. The guards first looked at it, and then ignored it. they.

Another group of local gangsters who are making troubles everywhere, the guards grumbled. The Aragonese looked down on these locals. For the Aragonese who had just ended the glory and tragically recovered the land-lost war, they were difficult Understand the Sicilian seemingly lazy and boring lifestyle, especially their tolerant attitude towards pagans, which makes it difficult for religious devotees from Iberia to accept, even if the Aragonese know both sides They are all subjects of the same king, but they still cannot recognize them as their own countrymen.

And the Sicilians have exactly the same thoughts. In their eyes, the Aragonese are no different from the pagans in some respects. Whether it ’s big customs or small details of life, it will always reveal more or less. These are the traces that have been subtlely contaminated by years of contact with the Moors.

Even if they show more piety than anyone else, even this kind of piety will inevitably have traces of paganism. This includes the Aragonese punishment and various treatment of prisoners. The Sicilians look very different. Brutal means of teaching style.

The guards did not pay attention to those people again, so they did not see them disappearing on the corner of the street not far away.

Clian looked at the palace and meditated. One day has passed since he last entered the palace. He is waiting for a message from the palace.

Several of the people around him were under the leadership of the old Bushid. These people did not know who Krian was, nor what he wanted to do, but they knew that the old man seemed to be taboo for this person, which made several people against Ke. Li'an is full of curiosity.

But they also knew that there were some things that could not be arbitrarily inquired about, and although this person was a little strange, but it seemed very ordinary, and it seemed that it was not a big man.

Old Bushid had eyeliners in the palace, but because of his low status, there were not many things he could hear, but Krian went to the palace and heard the news almost. Staring at the suspicious tower as Krian ordered, you should soon find something.

Krian knew that the people of Alexandria had already mixed into the city defense army. Although the guards of the palace were all Aragonese guards, as long as there was an internal response from Bochum, they believed that they would soon start to rescue Modillo.

Krian had tried the old Bushid several times, but he didn't find out who asked him to rescue Modillo, but Krian did not care about this anymore. He had his purpose and plan.

As for when those people will start, Krian believes that it will be 2 days later, because that is the time when Flamenza will hold a welcome dinner for Gonzalo's arrival.

The reason why the banquet to welcome the commander of the Knights was delayed for several days was mainly because of waiting for some nobles from Messina and Syracuse.

Flamenza saw this banquet as an opportunity to show the local aristocracy in these places their powerful strength, to show the power of the Aragonese army to the Sicilians, and to demonstrate to the local nobles who still stubbornly tried to retain their power. This is The purpose of Flamenca.

As for whether Gonzalo had guessed his idea, Flamenza did not care much, or that Mrs. Gong Xiang had not been able to get help and any promises from Gonzalo, he already saw Gon Salou was obviously not very willing to be involved in those troublesome power disputes, so when he wanted to take advantage of the little commander's deterrent to increase his chips, he would not cause Gonzalo's dissatisfaction.

It was just a little unexpected for Flamenza. Gonzalo actually accepted Camuelli ’s invitation and went to his home. This caused Flamenza ’s attention to some extent, but when he heard that the two men were more Interestingly, it seems that after the war between the Ottomans and Venice, Flamenca felt that he might have been a little bit more attentive.

Flamenza does not like the Venetians, which is what many people have known since he took office for so long.

The reason why Flamenza would hate the Venetians is simple. He believes that Venice is hindering the expansion of Aragon in the Mediterranean.

Venice ’s control of the Mediterranean trade is a very annoying thing for many Aragonese, especially the ambiguous relationship between them and the Ottomans is regarded by the Aragonese as a typical two-faced three-handed.

In the early years, several common senses that Aragon tried to expand in the Mediterranean by Sicily were also destroyed by Venice, which made many Aragonese noblemen, including Flamenca, generally feel scorn for the Venetians.

After becoming the governor of Sicily, Flamenza still did not abandon this disgust, and even thought that this was a good opportunity that God gave him a place for the king to seize the territory in the Mediterranean. This may instead be an opportunity to force the Venetians to serve Aragon with soft opportunities.

So he has always been indifferent to the Venetian messengers, just to take advantage of the opportunity to finally accept the harsh conditions he has prepared, because knowing that the Sicilian Governor has a natural right to advise the king on things in Venice, so Flamenza I believe the Venetian will eventually compromise with him.

As far as he knows, the envoy apparently did not give up his efforts during this time and is mediating everywhere, hoping to get help, but Flamenza is not worried that someone will stand up and sing against him. No one in Sicily today can meet him. Enemies.

The two days passed quickly, and the nobles who had arrived from other places had also arrived one after another. When they came to Palermo last time or when Flamenza was ordered to take over in Sicily, he has almost mastered most of it since then. In Sicily, apart from some local nobles who were deeply rooted in remote places, even churches and nobles such as Messina and Syracuse had to bow their heads to the governor.

Now the arrival of the Aragonese army has made the Sicilian nobles realize that perhaps their future life will be more difficult.

Gonzalo was very happy to attend the banquet. Even if he knew that Flamenza had no intentions, he did not care too much. It was naturally a good thing for him to have rich dishes and fine wine for his company, not to mention There are so many beautiful women, which makes Gonzalo think he may be very young.

There were many people who accepted the invitation, which was larger than the welcome banquet prepared by Flamenza when the Aragon army first arrived. The scene where almost all Sicilian nobles were present made the palace very lively.

Strictly speaking, Flamenza is very similar to his king Ferdinand, or he is deliberately imitating Ferdinand.

Ferdinand is not a greedy monarch, and compared to those kings who put their minds on the extravagant enjoyment, Ferdinand is pious, courageous, and self-disciplined.

Although he has no demanding requirements for the people around him and keeps the same rules as himself, he is always more favored for people with similar habits. In this way, the cronies around him naturally imitate the habits of the king. Over time, this generation has also developed a rather simple and exaggerated style of the Aragonese court.

As one of Ferdinand's most trusted cronies, Flamenza, even if he has become a "Vice King" like a character in Sicily, but his habit for many years still allows him to strictly observe the habit of being in the court.

In this regard, he is more commendable than any of his predecessors.

It's just that Flamenca can maintain this style of keeping discipline and discipline, but it can't stop the luxury of the local nobles. Although they may be afraid of the brutal and **** governor, they haven't reached the kind of connection. Enjoying luxury life depends on the extent of his face.

The most important thing is that the church ’s performance in Sicily has become their biggest reliance. The depraved behavior of the bishops and the shameless private life of the priests have made the nobles straight and strong, and the roots of all this come from the Vatican.

And the anecdote about the Pope who was still the archbishop of Valencia even took a group of noble ladies to close the door to open the joyful meeting, it became the reason they had no fear.

"So I hate these fallen Sicilians, who have no sense of honor at all, just like their ancestors, they were once conquered by the Romans, Moors, and Normans and us, but they all rebelled against this. I do n’t doubt at all that if the Ottomans conquered them, they would also be obedient like a group of lambs. "

Flamenza made no secret of his dislike for the Sicilians. He responded with arrogant eyes and nobles bowing far away in their direction, while lowering his voice to Gonçalo who was standing beside him, speaking to the Sicilians the opinion of.

"When it comes to the Ottomans, Camusli said something interesting to me before," Gonzalo said as if he thought of it by accident. "He thought we should help the Venetians, because if they were defeated by the Ottomans, Sicily will be the next target of the Ottomans. "

"Oh, the old guy, he must have been bribed by the Venetians. Do n’t think I did n’t know that the Venetians found him through that tailor. Speaking of it, I still wonder how a person like him can live for so long, God. Should n’t he have taken away his soul long ago, saying something that offends God, I think that even letting him go to heaven after death is much better than staying in this world. "

Gonzalo is interesting to look at Flamenza. He now somewhat admires Camuelli. After all, there are not many people who can make Flamenza so hate at this time, but there is no way to do it in Sicily.

"Without the head, I will not agree to support the Venetians. I think the only way they can atone for the bad things they did in the past is to prove by sacrifice that they still believe in God instead of money, so what they should do is not to ask for help everywhere. It ’s a real war with the Ottomans. At least in the past when they were doing business with pagans, they did n’t see them as poor as they are now. ”

Flamenza lifted his chin slightly, motioning Gonzalo to the Venetian special envoy who was talking to a group of people not far away.

"The only strange thing for me is that he didn't visit you. I thought he would be the first to ask you for support."

Gonzalo didn't care if Flamenza seemed to be slightly provocative. His eyes had been lingering on those gorgeously dressed women, and those women were obviously also interested in this legendary general. There will be a self-confident woman passing by, and then throw a passionate look at this general.

"It seems that I should be temporarily out of company at this time."

Flamenza soon noticed Gonzalo's absent-mindedness. He shrugged helplessly and was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Gonzalo: "Governor, what do you think of the declaration of war for the Naples?"

Hearing this question from Gonzalo, Flamenza's expression became slightly more serious, his eyes swept over those nobles, and then fell on Bochum, who was standing not far from the gate.

"We are even more worried that the French may be involved in the process. It is said that the French suddenly began to collect ships, but if they were not going to cross the sea, what would they do?"

"Naples?"

"Yes, I suspect they have negotiated terms with the Neapolitans. Know that once our army joins the alliance against France, it will be a very bad situation for Louis XII, so if someone tells me this time The French and Naples are at peace, I am not surprised at all. "

"So that's why you object to our support for the Venetians?"

"Yes, we do n’t have enough troops to help the Venetians, and what the king asked us to do was to take down Naples," Flamenca lowered his tone. "It ’s just that none of us thought that the Neapolitans would at least even be at least If there is no resistance, they will escape. In addition, they will declare war on us. In this way, we have no reason to enter Naples legally. This is really bad. "

Gonzalo nodded silently. Although he was a bit disdainful about the Governor's favoring Ferdinand, he was very supportive of Flamenza.

The Aragonese army did indeed lose a reasonable reason to enter Naples.

It turned out that in Ferdinand's plan, the royal family of Naples, facing the danger of annihilation, would definitely ask the brotherly country for assistance as before, so that they could logically march into Naples, and then they could find an excuse to oust the king, and then announce the annexation of Naples .

But no one expected that Modillo would happen. What was even more unexpected was that the fledgling Naples royal family would have so much courage to declare war on Sicily.

Seemingly aware of Gonzalo's eyes, Flamenza moved his neck a bit unnaturally. He could guess that Gonzalo should be thinking that it was because he arrested Modillo that this kind of trouble was caused. .

But Flamenza did not think that his original decision was wrong, and in his view, using Modillo to take advantage of the hostile forces in Castile may be better than losing a legal annexation of Naples. Opportunities are more important.

Only this reason cannot be said to Gonzalo.

Gonzalo is more interested in the Naples army.

When he heard that Alexandria ’s army was in Naples, Gonzalo suddenly had the urge to take his troops across the sea to land, and he wanted to use a head-on confrontation with Alexandria to verify his changes to the army in recent years. The result of training, and the only way to prove it, is to engage the enemy on the battlefield.

"Will the Naples army invade directly, I mean if they really negotiated the conditions with the French?" Gonzalo was not very enthusiastic about court tricks, so he could only ask for Flamenza in this matter .

"Dear Commander of the Knights, if you did not bring your army to Sicily, maybe this time I was already thinking about how to deal with such a strong enemy, but now I hope they can become stupid."

Listening to the flattery of Flamenza, although knowing he was deliberately pleasing, Gonzalo could not help smiling slightly.

Suddenly there was a little noise in the direction of the door, and then people saw a servant hurried in.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at the attendant, and he ran to the governor without looking at anything, and the voice in the hall could not help lowering.

"Sir!" The servant ran to the governor before panting and saluting, and he immediately said anxiously, "The special envoy sent by the Vatican has arrived!"

Flamença couldn't help but sigh, listening to the unexpected soft whispers around him, he whispered to the attendant, "Who is the Special Envoy, sent by the Vatican?"

"It is the Tuscan and Romagna bishops." The attendant said anxiously. "The team of the bishops is about to enter the palace."

There was another burst of exclamation, and at the same time several Sicilian bishops had come under the leadership of the archbishop.

"How come there is a special envoy suddenly?" The archbishop looked dull with several bishops at Flamenca. "And there was no news at all."

"I also want to know what's going on, but it's a pity that I don't know what happened to you," Flamenza's attitude toward the Archbishop is clear. The relationship between them became subtle, and at this time a special envoy of the Metropolitan Bishop suddenly appeared, which made people have various ideas.

"I think we are still waiting to welcome this VIP from the Vatican ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ Maybe he brought the order from the Pope to us." Flamenza proposed to the Archbishop, and at the same time, several figures have Appeared at the gate of the palace.

Seeing the bishops walking in front, dressed in vests and wearing little red felt hats, the bishops of Sicily and Flamenca raised their hands and crossed a cross.

Just as Flamenza was about to speak, Gonzalo, who was standing beside him, suddenly and rudely said, "It's an accident, it's you."

Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted to Gonzalo, and then he followed him to the man who was behind the bishop.

As the man lifted the hat on his head, there was an unexpected whisper of surprise in the hall.

"I am also honored, respected commander of the knight, but believe me, this is not an accident."

Alexander smiled slightly at Gonzalo.
