Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 4 Chapter 36: Come back home

A long horn sounded in the distance, and listening to the tune, Giovanni looked up slightly and looked up at the Chimone Mountain in the distance.

"I like this guy who plays trumpet," Giovanni pointed to the soldier standing in the distance and trumpeted the trumpet and said to Alexander. "He reminded me of the shepherds I had seen before in the territory."

"He was a shepherd before," Alexander glanced at the trumpeter in the distance. "My soldiers are all from Agri, and there are mountains everywhere. It seems more to them to fight on the mountains than on the plains. Safety."

"Are you still angry about that," Giovanni shrugged inadvertently. "I know you care about the soldiers who died in Chimoni, but believe me, you will see more of this in the future, Even in addition to ordinary soldiers, you will see the most important followers around you die on the battlefield. If you ca n’t adapt to this, then someone will watch you fall one day in the future. "

Alexander nodded. He knew that Giovanni was right this time. Being sentimental is never a qualified general, and sometimes sentimentality is a fatal weakness.

Looking at Giovanni, Alexander felt for a moment that he looked a little like an uncle now.

"Alexander, I always feel that I ca n’t see you. Sometimes you look a little bit nonsense, but if you think about it later, you will find that everything is not a waste of time. At least you can stand by me now. The proof is in front of me. If you know me, you still remember that you threatened Caesar openly against the rifle before the city hall. "

Giovanni said to signal Alexander to walk together. He reached out and took a light step on Alexander ’s shoulder, and then continued: "Tell me how long do you think the peace between us and the Venetian can last, you and the skin Tirino has been entangled for a long time, and he should be more familiar with him than others. "

Alexander nodded, and Giovanni really asked the idea.

It ’s fair to say that he is much more familiar with Pitiliuno ’s future than anyone else, but because of this, Alexander had almost forgotten that person at this time, because he knew that Pitiliuno in history had been after Charlie ’s withdrawal from Italy. It gradually faded out of the Venetian power circle. If it were not for a brief war that had never occurred before, people would soon forget this once-glorious Venetian lieutenant general.

But now Alexander is a little bit wondering whether Pitiliuno's future will change. After all, the trajectory of history is changing slowly and immutably.

Sometimes Alexander even wondered if Giovanni would suddenly die on that mysterious night, and if his body was found floating on the Tiber River as before, and the murderer who killed him disappeared from now on, Even his death became not only the Borgia family, but also one of the well-known mysteries in the Roman city where many conspiracies have occurred over the centuries.

"I don't know, but I think Venice might be threatened by the Ottomans to send him to the East to defend, so maybe we will hardly see him again." Alexander speculated, but he thought that this guess was very reliable. The Venetian would rather pay At a great price, the purpose of ending the war as soon as possible is to prepare for the possible war with the Ottomans as soon as possible.

Although Alexander knew that the sickle-shaped crescent moon flag never really threatened the native Venice.

Their colonies, from now until nearly two centuries later, have been under the threat of the Ottoman Empire, until those colonies were taken one by one by the Ottomans, and then Venice, which has been rampant in the Mediterranean for hundreds of years The decline and decline of the business empire.

Alexander awoke from his imagination. He looked at Giovanni's face with obvious scars due to syphilis, hesitated a little, and reached out and hugged him gently.

"Be careful of the Duke, sometimes the enemy may not appear on the battlefield." Alexander said softly in Giovanni's ear, then patted his back hard.

Giovanni nodded with a smile. He didn't know why Alexander suddenly showed his favor to him, but he thought it was a good start.

The surprising change of this young man has aroused Giovanni ’s interest. Just think about his downfall when he first arrived in Rome, and then look at him now. Giovanni has begun to think that maybe this young count will become a good future. Good helper.

As for him and Lucrezia, Giovanni would rather see what happened between the two of them. If he could add more trouble to Caesar's marriage, he would not even mind making his sister and Alexander a little more Deep relationship.

"Okay, that's how it is." Giovanni turned and turned his horse back with the help of a servant. "Count, I hope to see you in Rome as soon as possible."

After he finished, he urged the mount to follow his team forward.

Looking at Giovanni's back that slowly disappeared in the setting sun, Alexander felt somehow suddenly, and suddenly a touch of consternation rose.

He knew that probably he would never see Giovanni Borgia again, Duke of Gandino.

Although the use and even the frame from the beginning had caused him a lot of trouble, but during this time, Giovanni was very trusting and even helpful to Alexander.

In particular, the decision to negotiate between Alexander and Pitiruno had the direct benefit of the 5,000 florins in Alexander ’s personal wallet, which also established his important position in this short war. The impact it brings is to slowly appreciate it later.

Although he knew that Giovanni was doing this just to avoid wanting to take advantage of that Genovese Calgino, and to seize the opportunity and want to have a relationship with Count Modillo, but Alexander still couldn't help but think Giovanni and Caesar compare It is better to deal with each other, and it is easier to get the favor of others.

But that's what Alexander can do. A kind reminder is for the great uncle. As for Giovanni, he can't manage it anymore.

Recklessly blending into some troubles that he can't control at all will only cause himself more trouble.

What's more, Alexander soon discovered that he had enough trouble to deal with.

Ruosha sent a letter again, and in this letter Luosha unexpectedly praised Lucrezia, in addition to her beautiful words, more about Lucrezia's infatuation with him. After a while, the Countess of Cosenza said righteously, "Dear brother, I said so much, I just want to tell you, if you can't let Lukrezija Pogia become your wife, my sister-in-law, That is simply contempt for God's reward. I will wonder if you are blind or deaf, otherwise how could you give up such a good wife. "

The unusual behavior of Rosa in the letter made Alexander wonder if Lucretia was right next to her when she wrote the letter, and soon another letter written with a secret number proved his conjecture.

But in that other letter, Ruosha also insisted that Alexander should marry Lucrezia as his wife.

"You can't imagine that Lucrezia Pogia is a key that can open the vault. I believe that if you marry her, your plan will have great hope for success. I have almost guessed what you want to do, but Because of this I am more in favor of you becoming Lucrezia ’s husband. As for Barendi de la Rovere, I am not optimistic about your marriage with her. Know that this woman ’s loyalty to the family will destroy herself Your happiness, if you marry her, you will only become a vassal of the Luo Weilei family, I believe this is by no means the result you are willing to see. "

Alexander carefully scrutinized Zuosha's letter and felt a little awkward.

Letting my sister choose a suitable wife for herself was not a big deal. Besides, according to Rosa ’s analysis, it seemed that marrying Lucrezia was indeed more cost-effective, but Alexander always thought it was weird.

It's as if a lover is fighting for marriage rights for another lover, which is really weird.

But Ya Alexander couldn't help but admit that Ruo Sha said something very reasonable.

Barendi may be a good assistant, but whether it is a suitable wife is always a place where Alexander hesitates.

Barendi was so loyal to the Loveley family that she could carelessly say that she could tolerate her husband with one or more lovers.

Despite the fact that most of the ladies of this era are not generous, there are not many who can accept such things so calmly.

That only shows that Barendi regarded this marriage as a deal.

Since it is a transaction, there is a possibility of transaction success and failure, and it can even be terminated and abolished halfway.

Just married Lucrezia ...

As soon as this idea came up, Alexander quickly shook his head, not to mention whether Lucrezia ’s own erratic personality was suitable. Just think about the uneasy big uncle and little uncle, and then think about the special and self. Lao Zhang, the son-in-law who couldn't get through, found this road even more difficult.

There are a lot of troubles, but a news for Alexander really caught Alexander's attention.

According to news from Montina, Montina Bishop Tony Rovere suddenly became active during this time.

This bishop not only changed the old habit of not having a third interest except for the money woman, he began to actively spread the gospel for God. His footprints were all over Montina, and even a small part of Ag Rangers have become patrons of his patronage.

The news came from Gompati, but the captain of the artillery did n’t seem to realize that there was anything special about it, so when he reported Montana ’s situation to Alexandria, he just let the writer casually mention it. The bishops cared about them.

But Alexander saw something different from line to line, which immediately caught his attention.

"It seems that we have to go back to Montina immediately," Alexander said to the surrounding Affléy. "I think we will have to focus on my new territory for a long time afterwards because of my concern for the so-called peace. Not very optimistic. "

Aufrei nodded his agreement, he did not know that the peace that Alexander was referring to was actually talking about France. In his view, the Milan and the Venetian who had suffered a loss would definitely come to retaliate, so he strengthened Montina ’s preparations for Alexander ’s preparations. As for the castle's defense, Ofrei immediately showed great interest.

Another one is that he feels that in this case, the count must stay in Montina for a long time, and he must also be there as an army commander.

A very beautiful face flashed quickly in Aurei's mind, but immediately followed by another wrinkled face that seemed to be grumbling, followed by this face, "My daughter Not marrying as a soldier! "The annoying cry.

Of course, Alexandria did not know that Ofrei ’s thoughts had already drifted back to Montina at this time. He ordered the army to quickly prepare for departure. At this time, the city of Realo, except for Calgino, was still there. Other army.

According to the agreement, the people of Venice and Milan have already voluntarily withdrawn from Realo the day before. According to the news from the scout, their main force is now more than a dozen miles away.

The reason for Calgino's stay is that he needs to wait for supplies, but everyone knows that this is because the Genoese fear that the Venetians will suddenly tear up the agreement and reoccupy Realo.

It was only when he left Realo that Alexander Calgino ’s army seemed to be showing no signs of leaving, and Alexander could n’t help thinking.

Although Realo is not as geographically superior as Montina, and has a fortified castle that has been built by so many owners, it has almost become a fortress castle. However, if you rely on this city, It may not be possible to become an important long-term barracks.

At least Realo's existence did indeed block the sight of Alexandria looking north to Lombardy.

But Lombardy is very far after all, but Montina is very close, or to be precise, Bishop Tony de la Rovere is very close.

Alexander walked into his castle on the last day of May.

The absence for nearly a month did not make Alexander feel that his new home was particularly different, but those who came to greet him obviously did not think so.

Compati is very excited, or it is more appropriate to have a red face.

Obviously, the captain is very satisfied with today's life, which can be seen from his somewhat blessed body shape.

Gompati wanted to take Alexander to see his proud work, but the appearance of Bishop Tony interrupted him to sell his "genius-like idea" to Alexander. The bishop was very religious for Alexander and his victory. The army made a brief blessing ceremony, and then walked towards the castle with Alexander.

Although he was still unfamiliar with this castle, and there were even many places that he hadn't had time to take a look at, but when he walked into the gate, Alexander still couldn't help raising a touch of "going home".

From the beginning of this era, the erratic wanderings made Alexander feel a little tired. Although he knew that this was his choice from the beginning, he still hoped that one day he would settle down when he was alone. .

It's just that Alexander knew he couldn't stop.

Although his goal is so far away that he sometimes even wants to give up, and he is too far away from the crown on the Iberian peninsula, he knows the reason why he has everything now ~ www.mtlnovel .com ~ Just because he is constantly approaching the crown.

If one day he stopped, he would not only lose a distant dream, but also lose everything he now sees.

Tony Rovere is still not like a bishop. The first thing he did after he walked into the vault was to open a bottle of wine for Alexandria and himself. After taking a sip and soothing his throat, the bishop sat down and looked at Alexandria seriously. .

The look made Alexander think of the old bustards in the brothel looking at the cash cows in their hands.

"Count, I think you get more than anyone else this time." The bishop opened his mouth with compliments. His eyes were throbbing and even seemed very excited. It seemed that the bishop had just won a major victory. .

"Thank you, Bishop, I think your prayer was working before you set off." Alexander was perfunctory, and he was a little strange what the bishop was doing.

"It ’s such an earl," the bishop leaned forward. "I noticed that you seem to be very interested in rebuilding the castle of Montina, but I have to remind you that many people have thought about rebuilding this castle before. , But they are all abandoned because of the high cost, so I want to know if you are willing to make a sale to raise funds. "

Alexander stared at Bishop Tony for a moment, he knew that the bishop was actually very ridiculous, but he had not thought that this man had actually reached the point of being a pimp.

"I don't know what you mean by buying and selling." Alexander tentatively asked, and now at this time he is a little difficult to resist the temptation of money.

"A very good business," Bishop Tony smiled and moved forward. "I don't know if you have heard of Savonarola, I think you can find out."
