Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 7 Chapter 89: Drums of war

1.3 million Florens!

This is a huge amount, enough to scare many people.

Whether in the Vatican or in the history of any European country, there has never been such a huge amount of business.

According to the transaction proposed by Ruo Sha, the money will be fully paid in batches within 6 months, and this time is also the time limit for the Holy See to gradually hand over the right to cast Ladia coins.

The ultimate goal is to realize that Ladia is completely issued by the Free Trade Union at the beginning of 1502.

This is a huge number that is enough to make a person crazy after hearing it, and it is also the condition that Russa proposed to the Vatican to let Alexander VI surrender power and disguise himself in disguise.

It's just that even though the money is already so huge, it has already stirred up a violent quarrel inside the Vatican. The fierce debate is surprising, and the voices of agreement and opposition almost upset the roof.

The reason for the dispute, in addition to the stay of Alexander VI, is whether the money is cost-effective.

Although 1.3 million florins is indeed an amazing number, the cardinals clearly know what the coinage right means. This is not only an inestimable wealth, but also a huge right.

According to rough calculations by the Vatican Treasury officials, although it has only just been issued for more than a year, the income that Radia can bring to the Holy See is as high as 6 digits per year, and this amount will be affected by Radia The region is growing rapidly and rapidly. According to the calculations of accountants, it does not take long to break through the annual revenue of one million.

It can be said that if you look at this trend, almost no one in the world has the ability to buy the coinage of Ladia, just like no one can buy the coinage of Florin and Ducat.

Now that Ruosha actually wants to buy Ladia casting rights for 1.3 million florins, this makes the cardinals feel that this Queen of Naples is simply blatant robbery.

"War, launching a war with her, can never tolerate such humiliation and bullying of the Holy Vatican." Someone shouted at war, which aroused the approval of many people, which naturally aroused the excitement of the proponents. At this time, of course, you are in rebellion, but if you grasp it well, you can also seize the opportunity.

"We can still fight. Our warehouse has all kinds of treasures that have been stored for so many years, which is enough to pay the army's salary and can give more. As for the city defense army, I heard that Skop did not start from that The woman was rewarded there, believing that he must be very dissatisfied with this result. Then we can let him know that we can trust him again, and even promise him to be a Roman civil servant after the war. "

Once someone started to make a suggestion, someone immediately followed the agreement, and the meeting that was originally used to discuss a business was instantly turned into a life-and-death decision to declare war decisions.

But not everyone has suddenly become so fanatical. Some people noticed that the old Rovere, who should have been very active, was surprisingly silent at this time. He just sat in his place and looked at the cardinals or generously stated, Either he waved his flag and shouted, but he himself never made a sound.

In the same way, another person who should have stood up for fierce opposition did not seem to want to join the quarrel of this dispute. Bishop Masimo of Romagna and Tuscany even seemed to be sleepy because of sitting for a long time. Yawned.

The abnormal performance of the two of them finally caught the attention of the cardinals. They knew that according to common sense, the two people should stand up to show their attitudes whether they support or oppose, but their current appearance makes the cardinals realize that there is something unusual in this. The place.

"What do you think, dear cardinal."

The proposer is the Archbishop of Cologne from the north. Since the assassination of the Archbishop of Cologne in the Vatican a few years ago, the new Archbishop not only quickly established a great reputation in the diocese, but perhaps out of guilt for the Diocese of Cologne, just a few months ago The archbishop was not only promoted to Cardinal, but also transferred to the Vatican as the chief auxiliary bishop.

It's just that the first assistant bishop of Christ World has always been honest, but now his sudden jump at the opportunity makes people feel a little strange.

But old Luo Weilei was not surprised, he even felt that this seemed more reasonable.

Although it is not certain whether the chief assistant bishop was instructed by anyone, the old Rovere has already seen the shadow of the emperor.

Obviously, Maximian could not tolerate the occupation of Rome and control of the Vatican, so I wanted to come in these days. The emperor's messenger and the auxiliary bishop must have frequent exchanges.

Now looking at the assistant bishop's face eager to try, the old Rovere did not answer immediately, but after a little pondering, he looked at the same silent Silmo, and then he looked at the assistant bishop again.

"Dear Bishop, I would like to ask how you can solve the trouble caused by Ladia. Even if the people in the city of Rome are enough to give us headaches, we have said before if we want to calm down the present. Trouble, we may have to pay between 800,000 and 1.3 million florins, "Speaking of which, the old Luo Weilei smiled, at this time it has been more certain that the Ladia storm was actually caused by Alexander, otherwise how could Rosa be possible It so happened that the purchase price of 1.3 million just happened. "This money is not the final result, but only the amount needed at that time. Cartier is depreciating anytime and anywhere. I believe that I may not be 1.3 million now, but more. "

The Auxiliary Bishop looked at Old Rovere with some consternation. Although he came to the Vatican soon, the news was very informed. He knew that although he was the father-in-law, the relationship between Old Rovere and Alexander was very subtle, and he could even be said that he was the Roman Theta The Duke of West Asia ’s worst enemy in the Vatican is not an exaggeration.

But now Loveley accidentally said such a thing, the assistant bishop couldn't help but turn his gaze to Mahimo again.

Machimo is undoubtedly the recognized spokesperson of the Principality of Rome Thesia, which makes the auxiliary bishop not doubt that he will be on the side of Ruosha, but he can't think of any excuse that Mahimo will find.

Seeing the provocative gaze cast by the auxiliary bishop, Mahimo stood up. He did not pose in a stable and noble manner like other people, but shrugged his shoulders as soon as he came up, and then said in an indifferent tone: " Maybe we can just let the pope stay in the Vatican and then let the city of Rome maintain its status quo? "

Mahimo's words immediately caused a commotion. In fact, the faint odor that can be smelled by just sniffing the nose has made many people unbearable, especially the people on the other side because of their dissatisfaction with the Holy See, in addition to overthrowing the Pope's statue In addition to the excrement, a large amount of feces was dumped into the tributaries of the Tiber River, so that some polluted rivers have flowed into the Vatican's land along several small channels.

This not only made the Vatican smelly, but also caused a lot of panic. After all, the result of this season is that it is likely to cause a plague, which is terrible for anyone.

And Mahimo ’s proposal to keep Alexander VI in Rome also made many people suddenly realize that things may not really be as the assistant bishop said.

Keeping Alexander VI in Rome is unfavorable to everyone. Except that the presence of such a pope still means that they will be under his shadow or even threats. More importantly, although Caesar has died, Alexander VI's strength in the Vatican for many years, he may very likely find opportunities to regain control of the City Defense Army or even the Pope's Army, if so, he must retaliate against the threats and betrayals he is today.

Perhaps he could not treat the Queen of Naples, but he definitely had a way to treat the people who attended the meeting today.

Just think about the terrible situation of Alexander VI, the cardinals suddenly felt that it might be the best result to exile him in disguise.

But if you want to exile the pope in disguise, it means that you must accept the conditions of Queen Naples, and the cardinals ca n’t think of any solution to the immediate crisis in Ladia.

The result is that even the assistant bishop has to admit it later, sometimes with money, you can really do whatever you want.

Looking at the silent cardinals, Old Rovere finally stood up, and at the same time attracted everyone's attention: "So tell me, does anyone object to this proposal of the Queen of Naples?"

Silence, in the face of Ladia ’s ongoing running, depreciation at any time, and even the huge financial vortex that may completely drag down the entire Vatican, no one can have the courage to speak out at this time.

War, this may be a good choice, as long as you win, you can solve all problems, but as long as you think about Caesar's coffin still parked in the small church of Juliet, there is no sound.

War requires not only courage but also money.

When the cardinals whispered and hesitated, Old Rovere walked in front of Mahimo, looking at the cardinal, who was almost half his age, and Old Rovere shook his head with emotion: "Your future is very promising Cardinal Bright may one day become a pope, but before that you need someone to help. "

Mahimo thoughtfully bowed slightly to Old Rovere. He knew what Old Rovere meant: "What can I do for you?"

'S cleverness to Mahimo, old Luo Weilei smiled, he leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice and said: "Then make an appointment for me and the queen, I want to meet her alone."

Mahimo showed a "sure enough" look on his face, and then calmed down again.

"I will pass on your meaning to the queen," Mahimo said first, and then he suddenly said, "As far as I know, the Duke is in Castile."

Old Rovere's expression moved slightly, and the look in Mahimo couldn't help becoming slightly deeper.

In the Marino Palace, Ruosha looked at a non-stop man who was sitting on the opposite side, talking and dancing

This man's clothing is a little sloppy, and there is a large gray stain on his clothing. The shoes are also torn, and the uppers are covered with mud spots. This is the same as any nobleman Rusha has seen. All are different, at least those people will always pack themselves like this.

But Zuosha did not dare to look down on this person at all. She listened carefully to this person's non-stop commentary, and sometimes asked questions because of some problems.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being unreasonable. If you are not going to take on such a boring duty as the Queen, maybe you can become the first great female architect."

Bramont said with excitement that the 16th-century contractor who contracted the renovation of the Marino Palace from design to supervision was to report to Ruosha about the progress of the Marino Palace project. For Alexander, The palace was guarded by Ruosha, and then the palace built by Master Bramont was personally presided over by the master. The master himself held great enthusiasm and gave high expectations.

"I'm really surprised with your knowledge of architecture. It's even a pity. After all, you can't really bring out such a talent. Maybe it's nothing, but it's a pity for architecture. Thing. "

Listening to Brahmont ’s perfect compliment, Ruosha could n’t help smiling slightly, she felt that these words should be heard by Alexander, so that the cute sister he would know was not only what he knew, but also a complete out It's just like his expected talent.

However, this time Lu Sha invited Brahmont to come more than hear about the Marino Palace. After a short pause, the look on Lu Sha's face slowly became dignified: "Master I want you to tell me clearly , Can you defend with Fort Montina ’s defense now? "

Hearing this, Brahmont also became serious. He took a drawing from his bulging leather bag, opened it, and laid it on the table, looking at the huge castle made up of countless prismatic corners on the drawing. The floor plan, the master architect said seriously: "Your Majesty, this is the Fort Montina, please trust my technology ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ And please also believe the Duchess in the castle now, I can believe to guarantee this The castle can withstand the enemy forces several times more than the defenders. At the same time, according to the suggestion of the Duke, we built enough small bastions and interpenetrating trenches near the castle. Please believe me, Montina The castle is not only a brand new fortification, but also a horrible weapon like a hedgehog. I can assure you that any opponent trying to compete with this castle will surely touch it in front of its strong walls and powerful firepower It's bloody. "

Listening to Bramont ’s confident explanation, Ruosha exhaled gently. She stood up and looked down at the map, then looked at Bramont: “Master, I do n’t trust you, but I need to be cautious because A big battle is about to happen. "

Looking at the dignity and majesty suddenly revealed on Ruosha's original sweet and charming face, Bramont was first surprised, and then could not help but appear embarrassed under her imposing eyes.

On June 24, 1501, the Naples army suddenly and unexpectedly withdrew from the city of Rome and quickly moved northward to Romagna.

And just 2 days ago, the 6th Regiment of Roma Thesia Busaco, who had been guarding Bologna, also went south on the order of Valentia, Duchess of Rome.

After nearly a month of stalemate with each other, the Third Romane War launched an offensive with the anti-French alliance and started again!
