Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Northern Italy in winter is obviously much colder than in the south, perhaps because the weather has gradually become colder in recent years. Even in winter, it will be full of snow and snow. It looks like it is wrapped in silver, but it is scraped on the face. The bitter cold wind really makes people have little leisure to appreciate the beauty of this cold weather.

The snow is very thick. In some places, it is very difficult to walk directly in the snow even in one place. It is more difficult for people to walk in the snow than usual, and they will be sweated and exhausted if they can't walk far.

It was in this weather that Montina's team crossed the Maggiolaska Mountain.

Maggiolaska ’s altitude is very high. Of course, no one can accurately measure the height of this peak at this time, but looking at the top of the mountain that is always covered in mist and fog, many people first feel Scared.

Alexander did not rush to urge the team to speed up the march, because he knew he was not so nervous.

It was almost at this time that the two countries of France and Austria were really out of anger. The previous aristocratic entertainment war has gradually been replaced by brutal fighting. The knights can no longer hack each other on the battlefield, drinking and drinking on the battlefield , And more importantly, the two sides seem to finally realize that this war seems to be to destroy the other ’s army, not to be like the peacock fighting for the spouse, as long as the beautiful feathers are scared out, the other party can be timid retreat.

The classical and elegant war is quietly withdrawing from the stage. As the 16th century comes, the way of war is gradually changing.

The confrontation and fierce conflict between the two European powers is obviously not so fast, especially when the two monarchs appear on the battlefield, this kind of war often becomes long and complicated, even if many people It was found that this war was obviously much more brutal and fierce than when Charles VIII invaded Italy not long ago. It may be able to determine the decisive battle of the fate of both armies and even the country, and it will not erupt for a while.

It was at this time that Alexander took his Montina army to cross Maggiolaska into the Lombardy Plains in 4 days.

Although the Maggiolaska towers into the sky, it is not completely without a road that can be passed through. The process of crossing the Maggiolasca because of the sufficient preparation and wealthy time before, so it is very Hard work is not so difficult.

And the most important thing is that the Montina army has no strict discipline that any other contemporary army has.

Alexander did not want to use the so-called spiritual encouragement to deceive his soldiers. In his view, any agitation that does not talk about benefits but only feelings and beliefs is a rogue.

The Montina army was trained with whips and sticks. The repeated movements over and over again made the soldiers completely numb. They do not need to know what kind of enemies and dangers they have to face, as long as they know themselves when the battle starts What to do.

The motivation to maintain the discipline of soldiers is not so much faith and honor, but the spoils promised by Alexander to them and the rewards after winning the war.

Land, money, and finally honor. Everyone has different wishes. Alexander just promised that they could get what they wanted most.

The Balkan soldiers are sturdy and brave. They want to get a commission. The Agri Musketeers are a group of wood soldiers who have been trained to be stiff. They long for land, while some smooth and experienced Genoese want to fight in war. Zhongcai, as for hunting guards, in addition to wealth, they are soldiers with a stronger sense of honor than everyone else.

6000 people, after leaving a team of about 1,000 people stationed in La Speyer, this is the full force of Alexander into Lombardy.

On January 4th, the Montina army first appeared on the Geffner Plain in Lombardy. When I saw the distant wheat field covered by heavy snow, I could still imagine how beautiful the wheat field was during the harvest season. The vast expanse of land that stretched far and wide, Alexander couldn't help but exhale deeply.

The breath turned into a white mist in icy weather, and then dispersed, but the flame burning in Alexander's heart became hotter in this cold season.

"This is really a gift from God." Gompati, who was standing next to Alexander, sincerely sighed. Although he had long heard of Lombardy's richness, when he saw this fertile land that could not see his head, Gompati thought it seemed Apart from sighing God's favoritism towards the Lombards, there is no other way to think of it.

"But the richer the place, the more coveted the target will be." Alexander said disapprovingly. In his memory, the richness of Lombardy has indeed become the original sin of this land, and countless people covet this land. It resulted in the Italian War in the following decades, and even many wars after a few centuries, all for the purpose of competing for the Lombardy region.

"What about you, sir, are you interested in this land?" Gumpati asked interestingly.

"Interested," Alexander didn't conceal his inner desire for Lombardy. "Let's know that Lombard has something more attractive than wealth," he said, squinting slightly while looking into the distance. A low voice mumbled to himself, "There is a truly noble crown here."

The sky is gray and gloomy, and the snow is heavy. You must be careful when walking on the road, otherwise you will either slip or be tripped by something buried under the snow.

A woman with a tightly-wrapped body is walking on the street with some difficulty, although her entire head and face are wrapped up because of the cold, but she can still be seen from her healthy body and very dexterous pace. The age of a woman should be very young.

With a pop, the woman's right foot in thick boots stepped on a snow pit, although the snow pit was not deep, but this time made her body unbalanced, and then the body fell forward, and the whole person fell to the snow On the ground.

The snow was thick, so it didn't hurt to fall, but the young woman stayed in the snow and didn't move until she couldn't stand it after a while, and she got up with a little difficulty.

The turban wrapped around her head had fallen out, and her black hair was scattered and looked messy, while her face was covered with snow.

The young woman seemed to be very patient. She packed her body slowly and waited until it was almost finished before taking a few steps forward, bending over to pick up a small package thrown out when she fell.

The package is leather and has a long strap. This is more like a schoolbag. It is also covered with snow. The woman carefully unfastened the belt buckle and saw that some of the paper books inside were not wet. It seemed that he was relieved.

But then, the woman suddenly turned the schoolbag around and wowed all the contents in the snow.

Then she stepped on the books with her feet and feet, and then bent over and grabbed the books as if they were still in a state of sorrow, until they were completely broken, and then she shattered the torn pieces of paper Throw it around, and it will spread all over the sky.

This toss made the woman tired and unable to breathe. She gasped, breathing heavily, and then she sat down on her shoulders, and continued to walk forward in a daze.

In the distance, the two men pushing the car struggled to move forward. The contents of their car were piled up. The wheels made two deep marks in the snow. The heavy body made them difficult to push. .

The woman quickly caught up with the two, but because the oncoming snow suddenly became bigger, the woman simply followed not far behind them, letting the car in front shield herself from the sudden increase in the snow .

The two obviously didn't pay much attention to the woman behind them. Although the wind and snow were very heavy, the mood of the two seemed surprisingly good. They even chatted while walking, just because the wind and snow were so great that the two had to speak loudly. As soon as the woman behind him vaguely heard their conversation.

"God bless you, these things should be able to sell for a good price." The man pulling the car in front turned to his companion in the back and shouted, "We can suffer enough in such weather. I hope that the adult will not see us easily. For a fair price. "

"You dare to think about it," the people behind did not know whether it was a joke or an irony. "Aren't the nobles all the same, they are stingy, and some poor clanging still like to play."

"But this Earl Lord shouldn't be so stingy," said the man in front of the car with some uncertainty. "I heard that his army is very well-dressed. Many soldiers look like individual men, like this. The army is rare, maybe our luck is here, and I heard that the count is rich. "

"It might be better if it was like that, but rich aristocrats are not necessarily stingy," the people behind said a little bit deliberately, but then thought about it and then said, "I hope we are lucky, after all, in this weather There are not many people who can give him anything. This is our opportunity. As long as the Earl of Montina is not too stingy, I am still willing to sell these dishes to him. "

The two men said, struggling to push the car full of goods forward, and the young woman stopped after hearing their words.

She looked at the back of the car farther and farther in front, and then looked back at a tall building faintly visible in the snow and snow. After thinking about it, the woman took a step and chased in the direction of the two. Go up.

Pavia is a city located in the middle of the Lombardy Plain. The stretched Po River provides Pavia with plenty of water. In addition to the large fertile land here to provide enough food and clothing for people, it is also due to the convenient transportation. It is a very important commercial city in the Lombardy region.

The Pavia people are clever. The first waterwheel for farmland irrigation recorded in European history appeared here. As the University of Bologna, the famous Piacenza University in Europe, it was originally Pavi The Asian University was built for its predecessor.

As a vassal of Milan, Pavia has always been a vassal of Milan's ruler. Whether it was Visconti or the Sforza family, Pavia was very compliant and became their vassal.

Only now, the Paweans are a little dazed.

After the French came, they immediately drove away the Sforza family who had ruled Milan for nearly 50 years, and then the French King announced that he had become the ruler of Milan. The Pavias did not hesitate. They immediately followed the tradition for many years. Announced acceptance of Louis XII as their monarch.

But without waiting for the Paweans to clean up all the items with the Sforza mark in the city, Ludovico Sforza returned to Milan under the protection of the emperor and took power again.

This will inevitably be a little embarrassing, although seeing the wind and making the rudder has always been the secret of the Pavia people's self-protection, but this situation has changed too fast, which also makes them feel a little difficult to adapt.

And now, Pavia has ushered in a new occupier, Count of Montina Alexander Juliant Gumbre.

For the Paweans, the young earl is not new to him, because when he mentions the unlucky Giovanni Sforza ’s widowed wife Lucrezia, someone will naturally speak of the earl.

Various rumours about the cause of Giovanni Sforza's death have a huge market in Pavia.

People relish the various anecdotes and anecdotes of the Duke's family. If this involves the adulterer and the murder of his pro-husband, it will be even more enjoyable.

Now the legendary hookup with Lucrezia, and then the count of the two poisoning Giovanni Sforza suddenly arrived in Pavia. For a time, the locals were afraid and curious because of Giovanni The legend of being poisoned is already well known, so in the streets of Pavia, Alexander has a nickname "Count of Poison" that is quite popular.

Of course, Alexandria did not know that he had successfully snatched the title of his uncle. After leading the Montina army over Maggiolaska, after two consecutive days of marching, he arrived in Pavia on January 6.

When seeing Pavia City from afar, Alexander was faintly excited, because Pavia can be said to be the gateway to Milan. Once occupied, it means that the door of Milan has been opened to him.

Alexander was able to guess that the monarchs of France and Austria should already know his whereabouts, but now they obviously no longer care about him.

The cost of the French army cutting off the retreat of the Austrian army was because the advance was too far-reaching, so that its supply line was also exposed to the Austrians. Although Maximian was clearly not as decisive as Louis XII in his determination, his general They are obviously not as talented as Count Langserge, but when faced with a huge crisis that may be completely defeated by the French, and even the emperor himself may become a captive, the Austrian army has displayed a brave spirit and Tenacious fighting spirit.

As a result, the two sides launched a massive winter battle on the plains in the west of Lombardy. A total of nearly 90,000 troops on both sides were caught in an unprecedented brutal battle in northern Italy covered by snow.

The fighting at this time is no longer anyone can stop ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ The two sides dare not take the initiative to quit the battle, even even during a brief ceasefire confrontation, the two armies can no longer be as relaxed and comfortable as before. Instead, they sent a large number of scouts to investigate the enemy's movements, so as to formulate countermeasures at any time and prepare to face the battle.

Medieval traditional methods of knightly warfare are quickly disintegrating and dying at an unexpected speed. What wars no longer change is the romance and passion chanted by bard poets, but the horrific and cruel **** slaughter.

It was at this time that the Montina appeared in Pavia.

The reason why Alexandria is interested in Pavia is not only because it is the only way to Milan, but also the University of Pavia.

For the University of Pavia, Alexander is most impressed by the modern medical enlightenment in Europe, which originated from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Pavia. There is almost the most advanced medical education system in Europe.

Alexander was very interested in this university. When he stood under the circular colonnade of Pavilion ’s lakefront palace, he was not thinking about how to squeeze more oil and water from this wealthy city, but how "Move away" that university.

Just as Alexander was thinking about this, Schell came to him, and the guard ’s dark face had a strange expression on his face. When he stood in front of Alexander, he hesitated before saying: "Sir, a woman asked See you. "

"What?" Alexander froze slightly.

"A young woman," the Balkans said, and then embarrassedly emphasized "a not-so-beautiful woman."

"Oh?" Alexander looked at the Balkans silently.

"She said that her name was Gina Brigitte, a student from Bologna, and she asked for your interview."
