Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 6 Chapter 112: Alexandria

The sound of gunshots was hurried, and at the same time, with the screams, several figures rushed out of the surrounded team. They passed the nobles who had not responded and rushed to the nobles in the hall before the guards understood what happened. , Has rushed to Alexander next to them.

Several sharp sabers immediately stood in front of Flamenca, while others were threatening with weapons behind them.

"What are you doing?" Flamenza stared blankly at the sharp tip of his chest. When he realized what was happening, he immediately shouted at Alexander violently. "Look at what you did, you think Would you like to hijack us? This is what thieves have done. Do n’t you think your actions are shameful and insult yourself? "

Alexander ignored the flamenco who roared loudly, but looked at Gonzalo, looking at Gonzalo's startled face and then calmed down. Alexander raised his hand slightly and made an invitation gesture.

Gonzalo glanced at the flamenco, who was still talking, and then looked at the guards around him, and then frowned lightly and followed the chairs in the corner not far away behind Alexander go with.

"It's not ridiculous for you to do this, Count," Gonzalo did not feel the fear of being abducted. He looked at Alexander, who filled him with a glass of wine, and took a sip and said slowly. "Believe me. Notorious, this is not a good sign, which means that no one wants to believe you from now on. "

Alexander smiled noncommittally. He knew that Gonzalo was right. After this time, he might really have a bad reputation. After all, he used a sneak attack to openly hijack a governor and a general. In this era, it seems true It is very disreputable and may even be seen as a violation of the rules.

But Alexander didn't care about this.

"Times have changed, Knight Commander, some things are really different from the past."

Alexander said this with a little emotion. He knew what kind of era it was, and he knew better than anyone what direction this era would go. In this claim, it completely smashed the darkness of the Middle Ages and the last classical war. In the era, many things will die, and many things will come into being.

Conspiracy, betrayal, buying and selling are more frequent in this era than at any time, and the standard for people to evaluate all this is not the long and decayed rules of knights that are full of romance and honor for a long time, but victory and defeat. , Survival and death.

Gonzalo did not object to Alexander ’s words. He was actually not a pedantic person. In fact, this military genius, who later became the great Gonzalo, had the character of escape and the calmness of acting at the same time. The spirit of courage to explore new things is precisely because of his personality. When he heard that he was bringing troops, Alexander decided to change his plan a little, looking for an opportunity to directly face this future may be his enemy. Excellent commander.

"Then what are you going to do with us, just **** us out, and then take the Earl Modillo together? You know it won't work, you can't escape," Gonzalo stroked his thick jaw. He did n’t have a long beard, he looked at Alexander a little curiously, and wondered how he would solve the trouble in front of him, and according to his knowledge of this young man, he should n’t do this kind of look all at once. It's totally a no-brainer.

Alexander nodded slightly, then leaned forward, lowering his voice a little and said, "General, I think if we talk about the conditions, we might be able to solve today's troubles."

really……

Gonzalomer glanced silently at Alexandria, he knew that this should be the real reason why the General Assembly adopted this extreme near unwiseness, he came to make conditions, but what conditions can solve the bad situation in front of him ?

Naples has declared war on Sicily, and Montina's army is their main force. Although compromise and peace on the battlefield are not a problem at all, but this situation makes things very difficult at present, so what conditions can make Flamen Sa, the guy who was going crazy, calmed down, and even accepted?

"Release the Earl," Alexander set the condition directly. "General, we all know that the Governor is absolutely unacceptable. Naples must rescue the Earl Modillo, at all costs."

"Are you talking about everything, including the alliance with the French?" Gonzalo was keenly aware of the meaning revealed in Alexander's words, although this was indeed what they had guessed for a long time, but he can listen from Alexander himself It was another scene to arrive.

"Everything possible, Count Modillo is my sister, the uncle of the Queen of Naples Regency, and it was only at this point that the rescue of the count was not only about family, but also the dignity of the Kingdom of Sicily."

Gonzalo raised his eyebrows lightly, and he noticed Alexander's words.

Although the two Sicilian kingdoms have long declared themselves Sicilian, this is often on more formal occasions. People are more willing to call them Sicily and Naples separately for distinction. Now Alexander directly declares Sicily, which makes tribute Salou realized that he seemed to be leading the topic intentionally in some direction that he had not yet guessed.

Gonzalo took care of it at once. He knew that this young man was not so easy to deal with. Especially his strange ideas made many people feel unexpected at first, but when something happened, there was something that was supposed to be. With such a feeling, Gonzalo feels that this feeling is very bad. He can imagine that if this happens on the battlefield, it may mean that his opponent has been caught.

"This may be a contradiction between the two Sicilies. I can also understand that the Governor ’s personal prejudice against the Brotherhood, but if he tries to confront me by borrowing the Aragonese army, then I ca n’t help but consider France. People have even formed alliances with more powerful forces. "

"Wait, who do you mean by more powerful forces?" Gonzalo grabbed the key in Alexander's words, although he didn't want to believe it, but the obvious meaning already revealed in those words made him unable to Ignore "Don't tell me that you are going to form an alliance with the Ottomans. This does not fit your identity. It is important to know that all Europe knows that you are a hero against pagans. Do you want to destroy yourself?"

Alexander whispered secretly, and today people certainly don't know what a business image is, but whether it's Gonzalo's bohemianism or Ashurk's generosity and generosity, it actually means that.

So what about him, what is his image?

The young and handsome Earl, the hero of the Christendom who resisted the Ottomans, or like Skop, in the eyes of others is a lucky person who climbs to a high position by a woman?

None of this matters. Just like the future heir of Louis XII, his son-in-law, the future French king Francois I, the French king who called the last cavalier king, while enjoying this title, did not Hampering his alliance with the Ottomans, even in several wars related to the fate of Europe, France not only provided ports to the Ottoman fleet, but even sent troops to provoke other countries to secretly respond to the Ottoman Sultan Sulaiman.

But these still did not affect the reputation of Francois I. He is still regarded as one of the most beloved kings in the history of France. Some people even said that if there was no wise and rational diplomatic choice at the time of Francois I, There will not be the glory of Louis XIV after the rise of the Bourbon dynasty.

This is the case with history, never based on motivation, but on merit.

These thoughts flashed through Alexander's heart. Looking at Gonzalo's inquiring eyes, he thought a little and said in a low voice, "Then General, do you think if I only ally with the French, can you win Naples?"

Gonzalo gently moved his hand holding the wine glass. He looked at Alexander quietly and said, "I think you misunderstood us. We are here to help you. The king paid attention to the brotherhood of the two Sicilies and sent troops to help you, but your attitude. It was surprising, or rather disappointing is more appropriate. The practice of Governor Folmensa is indeed a bit inappropriate, but is this your kind return to the king? "

Listening to Gonzalo ’s words, Alexander smiled softly. He beckoned to the guards, beckoning them to bring Flamenza who had stopped cursing, and looked at the governor who was full of anger. Alexander used a voice that only three people could hear. Say: "Then let everything be clear. General, your army is not to rescue but to occupy Naples. Your task is to expel the royal family of Naples, and even force the royal family to announce the abandonment of the deposed king of Naples, and your governor, you are Is to want to use the earl to eradicate your enemies in Aragon, no matter what they do, you only need to say that the earl planned the **** night riots, and he has many same supporters in Aragon, which is enough, I Is this the way to think about things? "

Flamenza looked at Alexander in amazement, and then suddenly turned his head to look at Gonzalo. His eyes clearly doubted that the two had just revealed their true purpose when they were talking.

"Don't look at me like that," Gonzalo grumbled dissatisfiedly. He certainly knew he hadn't revealed anything to Alexander. As for how Alexander knew such a secret, he was too lazy to think about it, and then he said to Alexander "go on."

As for Flamenza's suspicion, Gonzalo disdain to explain, although in his view, although they are all dominated by the favored ministers around the monarch, Flamensa is absolutely not comparable to him, this is the point Said that Gonzalo had arrogance that was difficult for others to understand.

Alexander was very satisfied with Gonzalo's attitude. Looking at Flamenza's inquiring eyes, the corners of his mouth were slightly imperceptible.

Gonzalo de Cordoba is a great military genius, the world's respect for him often comes from the powerful Spanish phalanx created by him, and seeing the phalanx in Alexandria has certainly made Gonzalo It can actually make the Spanish army rampage across the European continent in the next two centuries. In fact, it is his vision of the transformation of firearms tactics and the far greater than ordinary people ’s role in firearms in the future battlefield.

It can be said that without Gonzalo, the process of replacing hot weapons with hot weapons may be completely different.

In the face of such a person, even if you are confident, you ca n’t ignore him, and Alexander does not think that he is smarter than others. At least so far, the enemies he has defeated on the battlefield have been won by virtue of sharp weapons And when facing an enemy with the same equipment, especially a genius military commander like Gonzalo, Alexander cannot guarantee that he can really defeat him on the battlefield.

Or even if he wins, he must pay an expensive price.

Gonzalo may not care, because there are two powerful kingdoms behind him, but Alexander cannot help but consider the pros and cons of the loss.

Therefore, if you can eliminate a huge hidden danger without being on the battlefield, this is what Alexander thinks is the best result.

Plant a thorn, a thorn of suspicion that can't be pulled out in the heart of Flamenza, and make him doubt any tacit understanding between him and Gonzalo, and then wait for the thorn to grow until it keeps Ferdinand, who sat firmly in the Aragonese court, was also restless.

This method may not be useful to other people. When they know that they may be suspected, other people will use the favor of Queen Isabella to excuse themselves, and then cleverly and do their best to please the two kings until the kings ’ Doubt is eliminated.

But Gonzalo wouldn't, he was too proud to disdain the explanation at all, and he would not deliberately please to save the king's favor.

The Queen's grace makes him think he is unique, and the glory on the battlefield makes him feel that even the king cannot compare with him.

This can be seen from his unscrupulous public humiliation of Alexander VI. It can be seen how far this person's character has been arrogant.

Alexander believed his guess, because it was not just Gonzalo he had contacted, but also a result that had been proved by history.

Gonzalo will pay for his arrogance and arrogance in the future. When Isabella can no longer shelter him, the long-standing contradiction between him and Ferdinand will explode.

And what Alexander had to do was just add some firewood to this contradictory fire that would have erupted after a long time, so that they would burst out the flames of battle in advance.

For this, Alexander took the risk to show up, but he was not worried, because he had already planned what to do next.

"The king won't do this ..."

Flamenza wanted to defend Ferdinand, but was interrupted by Alexander's hand.

"Whether the king will do this is very clear to us, and you really think I will be stupid enough to sneak into Sicily at this time regardless of personal safety?"

Flamenza's complexion suddenly changed, and he looked to Gonzalo for the answer to what might happen to him.

"Your army has been assembled more than half a month ago," Gonzalo said. "But you haven't made any movements. Even if I got to Sicily, nothing happened. What do you want to do?"

Seeing Alexander not speaking, but only with a smile on his face, Gonzalo suddenly thought of what he had just said.

"Sardin!"

Sardinia is not very far from Sicily. The position of the island on the Mediterranean Sea is obviously not as important as Sicily, but it is Aragon ’s bridgehead to contain the southern coastline of France. Although further northeast there is Corsica. The stronghold to contain France ’s influence on the Mediterranean, but it is obviously not as important as Sardinia.

The goal of the Naples is not Sicily at all, but Sardinia?

This idea instantly surprised Flamenza and let out a sigh of relief. He had been a little dizzy by this Gombre. Who could have imagined that a noble Earl would suddenly play the role of robber, or robber Not suitable, but his actions in front of him made Flamenza feel that he was dedicated to kidnapping.

Gonzalo's eyes were gloomy. He couldn't feel like everything was done because the Naples did not invade Sicily. He was the commander of the Aragonese army. When he heard that the Naples were about to invade Sardinia, he thought how quickly Stop all this.

"Count you come to Sicily yourself, but let the army invade Sardinia, which really surprised me," Gonzalo nodded. He couldn't help but admit that the sudden act of invading Sardinia was indeed unexpected, but made him more curious It was the sudden appearance of Alexander. He did n’t believe that Alexander ’s assembly was so stupid as to be self-sufficient. After all, even if he came with a metropolitan bishop, there was absolutely no guarantee that he would leave here again. Luo thinks this method is too stupid. "But your own situation is not so good, so tell me what do you want?"

Alexander glanced at Gonzalo, and at the same time glanced at Camille, not far away.

The old man is still half dead, it seems that everything in front of him has nothing to do with him.

"That's why I came to Sicily," Alexander looked at everyone in the hall, watching the suspicious nobles and bishops, and he slowly extended his hand. "Sardin Corsica, there are even more Many Aragonese islands, if I ca n’t take the Earl, then these places will not only be attacked, but I can assure you that these places will usher not only us, but even Naples, these places It will be handed over to the French, and by then you will face not only us but also the French army. "

Alexander's words made the people around him look different. They looked at him incredulously, and they couldn't believe he would say such things.

"Don't Naples succumb to the French, rather than be a family member of its bloodline?"

Gonzalo spoke, and his words surprised everyone.

This was Gonzalo ’s first positive answer to Alexander ’s accusation of Aragon ’s attempt to annex Naples, and the meaning in his words was undoubtedly to prove that Alexander was right.

Aragon does have ambitions for Naples!

"Is there anything weird," Gonzalo glanced at the nobles who were stunned by this series of accidents. "The two Sicily have been separated for too long, now it is time to reunite, this Is n’t it normal, and you count, do you want to stop all this? "

Alexander shook his head gently. Although he looked at it, he stayed, but he could only stand beside the Venetian messenger who watched the scene silently.

"Of course I won't stop your general. On the contrary, I think so too, but I want to remind you that you probably have forgotten the threat of the Ottomans. I assure you that as long as the Aragonese army takes the Naples step, you will find out Venice will be threatened by Wallachia, they will have to withdraw their troops on the Mediterranean in order to protect the homeland, and then Sicily will face the Ottoman fleet directly. "

There was a rapid gasp and gasp in the hall. Everyone, even Mahimo, looked at Alexander with incredible eyes. No one in the hall spoke for a while.

Gonzalo looked at Alexander seriously. Although he did n’t know whether he would actually put these words into practice, Gonzalo felt that this person was really crazy. Even he could n’t help but admit that the threat was really pierced. The key to Sicily.

The resistance of the Venetians at sea secured time for Sicily, and even Flamenza, who had no sympathy for the Venetians, must admit that it was the resistance of Venice at sea that prevented Sicily from colliding head-on with the Ottomans.

Therefore, in the future, the Aragonese army must support Venice, otherwise it is to watch the Ottomans rule the entire Mediterranean.

Gonzalo's eyes also glanced at the Venetian messenger not far away. He saw the messenger's angry expression but had to make himself silently listen to the angry expression.

As the overlord in the Mediterranean for centuries, the Venetians found for the first time that their destiny was actually in the hands of others.

"Are you threatening me, Count? Threatening me with colluding with pagans?" Gonzalo said in a low voice, he did not want to be entangled in this kind of thing, he knew that the crime of collusion with pagans might be in Iberia It can be prosecuted as a severe crime, but in Italy this charge is not much for many nobles, or even if it can indeed damage Alexander ’s reputation, but as long as he thinks about his prominent relationship in the Vatican, Gonzalo is not at all Think it will be a fatal crime that will defeat him completely.

The most important thing is that Gonzalo did not believe that Alexander had ventured to Sicily to let others grasp the handle.

"What do you want to do?" Gonzalo asked suddenly. He felt as if he had grasped the clues in Alexander's words, but suddenly lost his mind.

"Ally with my general," Alexander also lowered his voice. "Don't think about Naples anymore. Ferdinand's conspiracy has been exposed. The Aragonese army should never want to set foot on the land of Naples, otherwise, as I said, Sicily, Sardinia And Corsica will be jointly attacked by us and the French, but if you form an alliance with me, I promise that there is a place that can better demonstrate your martial arts and have great benefits for you to conquer. "

"Where?" Gonzalo's eyes narrowed slightly, and then the corner of his eyes suddenly swept the Venetian messenger "Crete ?!"

As Gonzalo said "Crete", Alexander showed a smile on his face, and at the same time his heart that had been hanging secretly was finally released.

He knew that Gonzalo had understood what he meant, and then everything would become easier.

Looking at the look of excitement that Gonzalo couldn't conceal, Alexander turned back and said to Flamenca: "But before the negotiation, I think it's best to release my uncle Count Modillo first, I believe you must No objections, right? Governor? "

There was a gloomy look on Flamenza's face, although he didn't know what the two men said, but from the hint of emotion in Gonzalo, he still guessed that Alexander must say to him What is important.

"Governor, release the count, maybe we really need to talk about it."

Seeing Gonzalo's impatient eyes staring at him, Flamenca gritted his teeth secretly.

This Queen Isabelle's petty minister was so arrogant that his tone was completely in command of the Sicilian Governor as a soldier under his command.

Flimenza wanted to refuse, and he did have the power and reason to refuse this obviously overpowered order, but after only a short thought, he decided to follow Gonzalo's words.

What were they talking about?

Are there topics that others cannot know about?

Or, all this is actually a conspiracy, otherwise it is difficult to imagine that Count Montina would be so bold that he came to Sicily alone.

Flamenca thought he seemed to have discovered some earth-shattering secrets. He watched the two men whispering carefully, and ordered his hands to bring Count Modillo.

"Earl, you can rest assured that Count Modillo has been fully treated in Sicily and his dignity has not been insulted. As for his life, I can assure you that when you meet him, you may find out He is fatter than he was in Naples. "

Flamenza said in an implied tone of sarcasm. He felt that he was doing very well. If at this moment he seemed to have no hostility towards the person who had just hijacked him, he would only make the other party more careful about himself.

Some resentment ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ but helpless in front of Gonzalo's overbearing, this very cleverly covered up his inner thoughts.

Alexander, who sneered at Flamenza, didn't seem to care, but when he saw the Governor's gaze that seemed to be unintentionally glanced at them, Alexander couldn't help but flash a hint of chuckle.

An invisible thorn is burying, perhaps a Flamenza is not enough to make Ferdinand doubt Gonzalo, but if this suspicion accumulates, Ferdinand will eventually have no tolerance for this root in his heart. thorn.

As he thought about it, Alexander turned his head back into contemplation, probably already beginning to think about the possibility of conquering Crete and Gonzalo's steps to open his mouth. At this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the hall.

Then a soldier rushed in panic, waiting to see where Flamenza was, the soldier had shouted: "Master, Lord Governor, the Count Modillo, is gone!"
