Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Caesar walked slowly with his chin along the side of the row of gutters erected next to the street. Sometimes he would step on it and walk a few steps above, but most of the time he just walked up the edge of the gutter. (Pinyin of biqiwu)

The dryness of winter makes the gutters dry long ago, except for the piles of dirty snow, which is dry and cracked hard soil.

These gutters are much older than Caesar, or older than everyone in this world. This is a product of the Roman era.

At the same time that the Roman Empire was destroyed, the Goths also destroyed the Roman civilization. In the long era of thousands of years ago, the ancestors of the Romans today successfully ran the whole Europe towards ignorance and barbarism for so long, that Nowadays, when people talk about ancient Rome, they always use a miraculous emotion that seems to be watching how they can do so many things that people can't do a thousand years ago.

For example, the gutter at the foot of Caesar now makes the life of the ancient Romans much more comfortable than today ’s people. That kind of comfort can be enjoyed even by civilians, and not even the nobles like this. It is all awkward of dirty smell and moldy garbage.

Speaking of this kind of embarrassment, it is not only unbearable, but also embarrassing. Especially last year, when the messenger of the Ottoman sultan came to Rome, he saw the kind of arrogance and contempt revealed by all the messengers. While Alexander VI felt ashamed, he also made up his mind to change this situation that made everyone uncomfortable.

The Pope was determined to make Rome not only a gorgeous and pleasant city, but at least not so dirty, so he ordered people to dig in the Roman city and look for the drains left by the ancient Romans to see if they could be reintroduced To use it, the Pope was surprised and lamented that although most drainage systems have been abandoned or even completely destroyed, many of the drains or sewers that can be rediscovered can simply continue to be used after simple cleaning.

Caesar still remembers the exclamations his father made when he heard the news. Some of these words are not only what a Catholic pope should say, even the most ordinary religious people say these words, if they are heard or reported, There will also be big trouble.

But this is a huge project, both the money to be spent and the manpower invested are a series of numbers that are prohibitive for anyone, and Alexander VI is still very wise, although the cleanup of the whole city project was just started because of the arrival of the French He had to terminate it, but he had no arrogant thought that such a large project could be completed quickly, and he didn't even think about the completion in his lifetime.

Alexander VI hoped that whenever people mentioned the enviable city of Rome and the many magnificent feats, people would mention his name because he made the city a miracle again. And this city that can be called the center of the world should not only be engraved with his name forever, but should also be ruled by the Borgia family forever.

How to rule the city forever has become one of the many problems facing the Pope and his sons today.

The French are getting more and more sad, but this is not a good thing for the Romans.

Just a few days after the Order Conference was announced, the generals of the French garrison, led by De Charlene, requested the Pope to collect food and various winter supplies from the Romans.

Although this request was gracefully delayed by Alexander VI, the Borgias felt pressure as the French approached the winter because of the urgent need for winter supplies.

The coalition outside the city also seems to have changed. Some troops suddenly left a few days ago. I heard that there have been some new changes in the battle of Lombardy. The remaining siege coalition forces are obviously no more than the French. Gao, some people even said that they had seen the coalition forces establishing long-term camps farther away from the city of Rome. Obviously they were preparing to establish a winter camp in the far suburbs of Rome, and then spent the long winter comfortably.

The changes in the war made the Romans not only accidental but also overwhelmed. The Romans, who thought that the French would soon get out, could not help secretly guessing what happened, and various rumors about the Lombard wars undoubtedly affected the order meeting.

Caesar had great hopes for the order meeting. He was already thinking about whether he could take the opportunity to declare Rome completely as an order meeting once the French had withdrawn and the coalition was unable to control the city of Rome for a while. In fact, it was his Under full jurisdiction.

This idea was so tempting, that Caesar secretly hoped that the French would not be too incompetent in the next battle, and that the coalition Gonzalo would not be too powerful. Only then would he have the opportunity to take advantage of the confrontation between the two sides. The whole of Rome.

But now the French ’s situation has changed as he hoped, but the coalition ’s situation seems to have gotten a little worse. From the outside of the city, the coalition frequently moved to the north, so that the remaining troops had to build winter camps. It can be seen by disguising their embarrassment of turning from attack to defense.

Caesar knew that all these changes were due to that Gombray.

Alexandria ’s food team staying outside the city was handed over a week ago to a businessman from Rovere ’s family in Rome. After paying a supposedly expensive breadth, the food was shipped on board and then sailed out to sea. Drive north.

Anyone who has heard of this transaction can guess the purpose of the Loviré family's heavy purchase of this batch of food, but it is strange that no one has come forward to stop this transaction.

Others did not stop because of fear of the power of the Loviré family, and the people of the Pogia family remained silent because Alexander VI also had his own plans.

"It's time for you to be a cardinal, my child," Caesar remembered what his father said to him. "Montello is not a very competent person. He likes to meet everybody and lacks insights. Although this has let me get the article A good dog but also made him talk less important. If Giuliano de la Rovere really became a cardinal, I think he put 10 Monteiro on his own, which is too bad for me, So I need you to be a cardinal. Only in this way can Rowley be contained. And in order to make you a cardinal, I have to compromise on many things. "

The idea of ​​Alexander VI was simple. Let Caesar help him fight against Rovere in the church, even paving the way for him to become a pope one day in the future. Although they have their own plans, the people of the Pogia family know that only their father is in a stable position. Only they have everything, so they chose to turn a blind eye on the fact that the Rovere family secretly supported the French.

That Gombre, Caesar pondered while walking along the gutter, actually doing such a thing unconsciously.

Of course, Caesar would not naively think that Alexander just happened to have done a good business. As long as you think that person is Modillo's nephew of Naples, he knows that this is not a simple business.

As for the fact that he reportedly made a lot of money in this business, Caesar did not care much.

What he cared about was suddenly discovering that subtle changes had taken place in Alexander's identity unconsciously.

First of all, the Bohemians were transferred to Rome in the name of self-preservation, so that Alexandria really appeared in the sight of the Romans for the first time, and then he first proposed a conference to establish order, although it was obviously impossible to be surrendered He occupied the chief, but as one of the founders of the Order Conference, Alexander still became a member of the Order 39 group.

But this is nothing. What really made him pay attention to by many Romans is that not only does he now have a good enough relationship with the Rovere family, but also a sudden difference in status even among the French.

And because he did a very good business, Alexander generously bought for his team that brought **** food from Naples.

When he bought a lot of things from the French and the coalition to equip his army, people suddenly realized that this one had heard of the French who had defeated the French in the Bruini Valley before. The army is now the fourth real military force in Rome after the French and the Allied forces, as well as the Pope's army commanded by Caesar!

He has an army and is also one of the 39-member regiment of the Order Conference, and he has a good relationship with Cardinal Rovere and the French who still occupy the Roman city. Since when did this person who did not pay much attention to him change It must be so negligible, but how could he not notice him for so long?

Caesar asked himself secretly, although he knew that it was mainly the changes brought by Alexander, but Caesar could not comfort himself because of this, because he knew that there were too many things to deal with Alexander, and some of them even It is destined to affect his life and luck, so he must not allow those negligences to appear again.

Caesar has decided to propose to Joanna.

He was deliberate. Although Alexander VI had decided to become a cardinal, Caesar was more willing to see this high opportunity as the capital to propose to Joanna in the future.

Marrying Joanna to prepare for the future advancement to the crown of Naples, this is Caesar ’s most perfect goal, even if this wish is not achieved, because he is already planning even if he cannot get the crown of Naples from the Aragonese, he It is also possible to dedicate this crown to Charlie, and whether it is reward or compensation, the French king cannot be so stingy.

This idea had been brewing in Caesar's heart for a long time, and it was because of this that he would reprimand Charlene so impolitely, because he could not tolerate someone piercing Joanna and ruining his plan.

But no matter what he thinks, Alexander, as the protection of Joanna, is an important role in this, not to mention his current identity as a Neapolitan ambassador in Rome.

Yes, it is the ambassador.

No matter in the order meeting or in other places, people have already begun to call that Gombre this way, and even some little nobles are proud to be able to talk to him on the street.

Caesar knew of course that he was not jealous, but that the sudden appearance of such a person caught him off guard.

He needs Alexander ’s support, which is really important, but he does not want to see a disobedient person, and now Alexander ’s unexpected development has made him feel a little inappropriate.

No one would be willing to be a supporter for others forever, and Caesar believed that Alexander would not be an exception.

Maybe it's time to rethink how to get along with this person. Although reluctant, Caesar began to think so calmly, or it is also a good idea to make this person completely his own.

Caesar remembered that people thought of Alexander as his faction in the Order Conference, at least Giovanni and Jeffrey thought that, in the eyes of those two, Alexander was Caesar's dogleg.

Perhaps this relationship can be made more real, at least to that Gombre thinks that Caesar's heart flashed the last time when Alexander went to the Portico Palace, Julia Farne showed a clear interest in him.

Caesar didn't think there was anything wrong with letting his dad's mistress seduce a person he saw as something to solicit, not to mention Julia Farne himself.

Caesar is still very confident about the charm of Julia Farne. The most important thing is that he has not heard of any decent woman in Alexandria in Rome. Think of a single and energetic young man suddenly facing Zhu Caesar felt that Leah ’s stunner was a lot easier.

Alexander didn't know that Caesar was hitting him, at this time he was reading a letter.

The letter was sent by Earl Modillo. In addition to asking about the deal with the French, the earl mentioned another thing.

The Venetian fleet visited Naples. Although he stayed shortly and left in a hurry to Sicily, the Venetian made a request that made the count very concerned:

They hope that the Port of Naples will give their fleet fixed priority supply, and for this reason they are even willing to sign an exceptionally generous agreement.

According to the count, www.ltnovel.com ~ The Venetian also made such a request to Taranto not long ago.

The count ’s letter caught Alexander ’s attention and opened the map. He realized that the Venetians seemed to be eager to build a long supply line for their fleet along the Mediterranean coast.

Obviously, the Venetians seem to feel a certain threat, which makes them have to pay a certain price and be prepared.

Looking at the map, Alexander's fingers could not help moving slowly to the southeast, crossing Sicily, passing Malta, and continuing from Crete until he stayed at a place marked by a city.

The millennium capital, Constantinople, is still shining brightly under the crescent moon. It is now called Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire. It is now like a terrible beast watching Europa.

In the next few hundred years, Europe will be trembling under its huge shadow.

And now, it's just that it has just begun.
