Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 6 Chapter 135: Milan Raiders

The Bormi River, the largest tributary of the upper Po River, is a large river running from north to south. The trend from north to south allows the Bormi River to pass through most of the land of Northern Italy. Joe River is an eternal witness who witnessed the rise and fall of Pavia.

The Xiaomingqiao River flows through the city of Pavia, separating the corner of the city from most other parts. At that time, the Romans established a military fortress on the divided river bay highlands as a Roman to monitor the barbarians in the north. Intrusive outpost.

Today, the Roman-era fortress still exists, although the entire fortress has long been erased by the years, only those stubborn stones still stand on the highlands of the river, it seems to be the glory and decline of the Roman Empire. Singing elegy, but from the rugged ruins of the stone walls, it seems that the roar of the roman legions chanting war horns can still be heard.

Gompati is now on the right bank of the Xiaomingcho River, not far from the fort. He leads about 4,000 soldiers of the Northern Army stationed here, monitoring the movement from the west at any time.

The two armies of France and Austria clearly knew of the news of Alexander ’s entry into Pavia, which made them wake up as if they had been slapped hard by the slap. The emperor first proposed a truce, although this seemed a bit shameful, but Maximian I had nothing to do with it.

Louis XII was also surprised by Alexander ’s actions. Although he had ordered the French army stationed in Genoa to pay attention to the movement of the Montina army before sending troops to Alexandria, he never thought that Alexander did not directly put the army on the battlefield. Instead, he suddenly sent troops to Pavia, which seemed to occupy Milan in one fell swoop.

This made Louis XII unexpected and angry, so when Maximian I proposed a truce to him, the King immediately agreed.

"That Gumbre was a thief, a thief, and a liar." The elegant French king used to be too angry to use several vulgar words that he would never normally use. After these words reached the Austrians, Maximian Instead of mocking the roughness of the French, I felt that this time it was rare to agree with the enemy.

Maximian ’s anger against Alexander was even stronger than that of Louis XII. He could never have imagined that the Earl of Montina would give him a knife from behind at this time, although now the Montina just occupied Pavia, But everyone knows that as the gate of Milan, Pavia's fall actually means that Milan is about to fall into the hands of others again.

The subsequent declaration of Alexander also made Maximian unbearable. For many years he has claimed to be the protector of Italian city-states, and the title of the Holy Roman Emperor made him regard Italy as his natural sphere of influence.

But now Alexander has publicly declared his right to protect the two regions as the monarch of Romagna and Tuscany, which makes Maximian I unbearable.

It was only when the emperor jumped thunderously to teach the "arrogant and ignorant Sicilian boy", he suddenly found that the army he used to teach his opponent was recruited by the funds provided by the other party.

This was really embarrassing. The emperor angrily attracted his chief palace minister. After complaining to Kotschach, Maximian questioned Kotschach angrily, how to solve this kind of thing.

Kotzach has always been very obedient, or can be said to be indifferent to listen. It was only when the emperor asked him that he thought a little and then slowly said: "Your Majesty, maybe we can send someone to Monti Count Talk, you know that his father-in-law is a cardinal, and the relationship between the cardinal and you is very close, so I think we should first understand whether Count Montina has something to do with the cardinal. "

"Palace, you should know that his father-in-law is more than that," the emperor said with a bit of sarcasm. "If according to you, maybe I should doubt whether this is related to the pope. After all, Borgia is now French. It's hot. "

The emperor said that he walked around the house in annoyance. Although his small but savvy eyes twitched back and forth restlessly, he always habitually rubbed a bit of his sharp nose. Cold and hard white foam.

"Your Majesty, negotiation is necessary, and conflict with the Montina is clearly the most unwise choice at this time."

Kottschacher did not appear timid because of the emperor ’s anger. He was well aware of the situation of Maximian. After all, after a series of battles with the French, the Austrian army has reached the point of exhaustion, although the opposite France People are not much better, but the French still occupy Genoa after all, which means that the initiative is still in the hands of the French. At least for them, the worst thing is to withdraw from the sea to France.

For Maximian, the so-called patriarchal sovereignty over Italy certainly made him a decisive influence on the region, but this right also deeply restrained him. Faced with the situation as it is now, in order to maintain his name as the Holy Roman Emperor, he must respond, but now he obviously feels at a loss.

"So it's you?" The emperor glanced at Kotzczah. Although he felt that the chief minister would come out so quickly, it would inevitably make the negotiation no more room for maneuver, but he really couldn't think of anyone more suitable "Go talk to that Gombre and tell him that I can accept his request as the lord of Romagna and Tuscany, but he must withdraw from Pavia, and his army must follow my orders, Join the opposition against the French, instead of just having peace with the French as before. "

Listening to the conditions put forward by the emperor, Kotzach only listened silently. He actually did not think that the Alexander Assembly agreed to these conditions, but at this time he could only negotiate first to know what to do next.

While sending Kotschah as an emissary to negotiate with Alexandria, Maximian I mobilized the army to move in the direction of Turin, and after signing the agreement for a temporary truce, Louis XII generously gave an article to the Austrian army The road allowed the Austrian army to retreat from Alexandria to Turin.

Louis XII was not worried that the Austrians would get the supplies they needed after returning to Turin, because he knew that the military supplies and supplies stored in Turin were simply not enough to provide enough supplies for nearly 50,000 troops, so they had to solve the problem The only problem is to continue to move forward to Milan.

But now it seems that for Alexander, Milan is already within easy reach, which makes Louis XII unable to look forward to what is about to happen.

For the Paweans, the so-called Pawea Declaration had no effect on them. The wealthy people in the city still wrapped up a wealthy life, and the civilians were still passable. It's harder, but because of Lombardy's abundance, it is obviously much better than elsewhere.

The Paweans did not think that it would be uncomfortable to change to a new lord. After all, they have been accustomed to being a vassal with the change of the master of Milan. At one point, the citizens of Pavia and Piacenza seem to be a bit too casual compared to the Pizza.

However, this is certainly not a bad thing for Alexander, especially when he decided to relocate Pavia University to Pisa as a whole, he couldn't help but feel more fortunate that the people in this city are not so spineless.

"In fact, don't think so," listening to the report of Aufrei, Alexander corrected the contempt shown by the commander of the army because of the easy-going attitude of the people in this city. "Be aware that for them they are not Milanese. Pavia is their city and hometown, and in their eyes, Sforza and Gombrelle are actually no different, they are nothing but occupiers. "

"You may be talking about adults, but people in this city really don't seem to care about who rules them. Perhaps in their eyes, a ruler is more interested in them than the patterns on the gold coins."

Seeing that Aufrei took out a Ladia gold coin and fiddled with it, Alexander just smiled softly.

When someone saw the use of Ladia gold coins in the market of Pavia, Alexander felt relieved. Although the time is still short, the market of Ladia gold coins has expanded at an alarming rate.

This is mainly due to the rapid implementation in the Lowlands and Switzerland, through the rapid erosion of Rotterdam ’s share of Amsterdam ’s port trade, and the convenience of the lowland traders ’rapid occupation of the Swiss market after the Swiss War. The momentum is even faster than those of the port cities controlled by the trade union, mainly because of the barrenness of those local post-war markets and the surprisingly huge trade potential displayed by the lowlands.

This potential has not only spread from Flanders and other places to the northern coast of Europe, but also has begun to penetrate into the interior of Europe.

The emergence of the Ladia gold coin in Pavia is proof of this penetration, which makes Alexander sometimes even feel that he may become the king of the European continent without the need for troops and weapons.

But of course this is just idle thinking, and Alexander is well aware that only wealth without an army will end like Fugel.

In fact, even without Alexander, the final outcome of the Fugger family was not good, although they used money to raise Maximian ’s grandson Charles V to become the Roman emperor, but they were eventually greedy by the greedy Charles V. The world squeezed out the last bit of oil and water, and the whole family collapsed, gradually declining.

"How is the University of Pavia?" Alexander did not want to continue on the topic of whether the Pavia people have integrity. Pavia is just one of the stops of the road he wants to take, even for him. The city is not as important as the corner of that university. "We need to know that we don't have much time, maybe in three months, or maybe even less, we must get rid of these troubles."

Alexandre ’s words surprised Aufrei a bit. He knew that Alexander ’s so-called escaping was to solve the Lombard problem in such a short time, which made Affrei worried.

"Adults, maybe the French will attack us, and even the Austrians are possible," Ofrei said what he had always worried about. "Milan is too important for them. If we continue to march to Milan, maybe They will be hit at the same time. "

"So we don't go to Milan," Alexander smiled lightly, and saw Aufrei accidentally, he beckoned a little and beckoned him to follow him to a map. "Our army is stationed in Pavia And then I want you to occupy this place after completing the relocation of Pavia University. "

Alexander ’s hand was slightly on a spot on the map, and looking at the sign above, Aufrei could n’t help but stunned: “Mongolian

"Yes," Alexander's finger struck hard twice at the place marked Monza, looking at the confusing expression of Aufrei, Alexander said softly, "Monza is more important to us than Milan, at least for now. We are like this, because a Milan ruled by Sforza can make everyone want to stop. "

Aufrei looked at the map a little puzzled. He did n’t understand Alexander ’s intentions for a while, which was obviously a bad performance for him. As a marshal, he had to understand the count more clearly than anyone else. Intent, otherwise it will be difficult to clearly execute the order given by the earl.

"Milan is a huge decoy," Alexander explained to O'Leiy his plan, which was the first time he had explained the whole Lombard plan to others except Russa. "Pavia and Mongolia Zaza is the two gates of Milan north and south. Now that we have opened the gates of the south, then all I have to do is open another gate so that Milan can be completely under my control instead of directly occupying the city. "Seeing Aufrei seems to have gradually come to understand that Alexander exhaled." The occupation of Milan, the French did the Austrians, they all eager to occupy this rich city, but once occupied Milan will be invisible Became their burden, as long as you think about how many troops they lost around Milan, you can know that this city is like a bottomless hole, constantly eating life. "

O'Leary licked his lips. He knew that Alexander was right. From the earlier Charles VIII to Louis XII, the invasion of Italy by the two consecutive French kings was the first task to occupy Milan.

In particular, Louis XII put his goal on Milan from the beginning, and then around Milan, the two countries of France and Austria have been hitting from the autumn of 1499 to the present.

"But lord, don't we occupy Milan?" Aufrei said, licking his lips again. He had heard too much about Milan's wealth, the charm of Lombardy's most exciting city known for its richness It is too big. If Rome is intoxicated by power, Milan is fascinated purely by wealth.

"Of course we want to own Milan," Alexander said, pointing his finger at the position of Monza on the map, intentionally or unintentionally. "But before that, we have to wait for a while, since Milan is such a sweet bait. , Then we can use it to lure more people into this vortex. "

Ofrey's eyes lit up, at this time he finally understood the purpose of Alexander, and at the same time he was excited by the count's thoughts, but could not help but worry.

"Adult, do you think they will be hooked?" Aufrei asked suspiciously. "Maybe they are not stupid, at least Louis is smart."

O'Leary recalled the Northern Army that was defeated not long ago when he said this. This was the first time Montina ’s army had suffered a defeat. Just think about Gompati ’s annoyed expression after hearing that so many guns had been lost. Of course, Alfred couldn't help but worry about Alexander's plan.

Alexandria clearly disregarded the worry of Aufrei. He tapped Milan on the map with his finger, with a weird smile on his face: "Tell me that Affrei, if you face a The girl who is prepared, and she has enjoyed her city not long ago, will you bear it? "

Aurei Lei paused. He wanted to say that he might be more careful, but he couldn't get it out of his mouth. Considering that he had just licked his lips to capture Milan, Aurei began to wonder if With such an opportunity, can you calm down.

At this time, Alexander had continued to say: "Also don't forget that for the emperor, Milan's gains and losses meant his Roman city-state's sovereignty. This is to let the emperor know that he should not waste all his troops in this city. Not insisting on the reason for seizing it, and this is equally important to Louis. He needs to declare his dominance over Lombardy by occupying Milan, so this war is inevitable. "

Ofrei listened quietly, although he did not quite understand many places, but he had at least clearly understood the count ’s intentions for Milan, which was enough, as for the count ’s plan for the entire Lombardy ~ www .ltnovel.com ~ Aufrei is not so interested, because he thinks this should be Uliu or Groningen.

"But before that, I want you to move the entire Pavia University to Pisa without any loss," Alexander reiterated his previous order "must be complete, if necessary, mobilize more troops to protect University migration, remember this is more important than fighting a victory. "

Listening to Alexander's solemn instructions, O'Freuil hung a strange look on his face. He pondered a little, as if wondering whether he should say it, but after considering it, he said, "Master, maybe We have a little trouble. "

"Trouble? What is it, is anyone unwilling to migrate?" Alexander's face sank with rare helplessness. "Who is it? Is there no way for you, although I have repeatedly ordered to prohibit brutality?" Treats everyone in the university, but this does not include those who wantonly relocate. "

"But the other party is too stubborn, we don't know how to deal with her ..."

"I don't know how to deal with it, let me tell you, cut off their water supply, cut off their firewood and coal, and forbid anyone to give them food. This method will definitely work, after all, someone has already proven This should be done to deal with that kind of stubborn nail household, "Alexander, who instantly became the leader of the demolition, will tire of his love for him until he suddenly thinks of" Wait, what did you just say? She? "

Aufrei looked at this and it seemed that Alexander, who had come to understand it, smiled bitterly: "Yes, the adult is her, that Gina Brigitte, she refuses to go to Pizza."
