Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Ravenna Square is a well-known place in Bologna. This square contains not only the city's oldest fountain, but also two towers that have maintained their highest height for hundreds of years.

Among them, the big bronze bell on the tower on the right was built by the local people in the early years of the expansion of the old city of Bologna. The local people have used the remaining copper for nearly 500 years. Every time there are various emergencies in the city At this time, people will ring the big bronze bell on the tower, at this time the bell with great penetration will ring over the city to warn the Bolognese.

But in August 1499, the big brass bell was dereliction of duty. Not only did it not issue any warnings, but even when many Bologna, who had been sleeping all night and sleepy all night, walked out of the house at about noon, they still saw far away The towering tower fluttered with a weird, or ugly flag.

Busako actually wanted to make a satisfactory Montina flag, but he was too rushed to make a large flag by stitching it together with a few pieces of white cloth. As for the pattern above , Busako described the tailors he found several times as so-so.

But in any case, what the Bolognese saw when they opened their eyes was the scene where they looked a little ugly on the tower of Ravenna Square, but they were absolutely stunned.

Bologna has all kinds of inseparable connections with the Vatican because of its special position. It is because of this that the relationship between Bologna and the Vatican is definitely the most intimate of all the city-states in Italy in the more than ten centuries after the establishment of the Vatican as the seat of the Holy See The most obedient, because of this, every pope also treats Bologna differently, and one of these treatments is not available to other city-states. Then at any time, as the protected place of the Holy See, the flag of Bologna Can appear anywhere with the flag of the Holy See.

In Bologna, no flag except the flag of the Holy See can appear on the tower of Ravenna Square.

Because of this, many Bolognese didn't realize that something was going wrong at this time. People began to discuss and gather in the corridors and streets of the city, which is the center of Bologna.

But what made people unexpected was that they were blocked outside the street. I do n’t know when the street was sealed by the overturned carriage. Some strange soldiers they had never seen were guarding those. The main road leading to the city hall, and just when they were at a loss, a team of cavalry suddenly rushed past them unscrupulously. People noticed that these cavalry were similar to the clothes of the people opposite. The worse thing was that they The head was holding the flag that enlarged the tower hung on the Ravenna Square.

By this time, many people had realized that something was wrong, and as someone finally recognized the origin of the flag, the Bologna suddenly fell into panic.

Caesar's pope army had just left two days ago. Some people had not forgotten that the pope's son took advantage of the army's opportunity to temporarily repair in Bologna. He also discussed in depth about the doctrine with two devout female disciples.

As for what the Pope came to Romagna, anyone with a little brain can think of it. As a result, only 2 days after the Pope ’s army, the Montina suddenly appeared as if they had fallen from the sky, and they actually occupied Bologna. I think it is said that many of the Montina army are barbarians from the Balkans, and the Bolognese can't help but worry about their future.

And in Bologna City Hall, it happened that a drama of surrender was happening, but Busaco was obviously not as lucky as Caesar. Throughout the surrender ceremony, those Bologna city officials not only did not cooperate at all, many people also There was an obvious look of contempt.

"General, can I understand that your identity is just an officer next to Count Montina?" A Bologna official asked haughtily. "Then you are not a noble, even if you are a red man around Count, although you do occupy Bologna, but I must remind you that we will not sign any formal surrender agreement with you. Unless Count Montina personally signed the document and issued an order to us, otherwise we refuse to obey your order, which is an insult our."

Busako stared dullly at the old man in front of him, and at the moment he really couldn't help but want to teach the arrogant official in front of them, they actually neglected him just because he was not a noble, even if he just needed a cry With the order, all these people can be put in prison.

"So you refused to surrender?" Busako asked a bit disgustedly. He had already thought that even if it was punished afterwards, as long as the official opposite said "No", he had an excuse for these people. Take harsh measures.

"No," the official said, not to disappoint Busako's expectations, but before Busako took the opportunity to order, the man continued to say, "We just can't surrender to you, if you want to get a formal surrender agreement, I suggest that you find the Earl himself, or anyone else who can represent him, regardless of status or status, to sign this agreement, otherwise we refuse to sign because this ... "

"I know, this is an insult to you." Busako interrupted the other's words helplessly. He really hated the difference between the nobility and the civilian status at this time, and he has never been as eager to have a nobility status as now. , Otherwise even your captive will look down on you.

"However, the officials I have under your hands will not be nobles, so they should have no reason to refuse to cooperate with us, otherwise I will let them know that as occupants, we are no more benevolent than others." Busako stared The official's face looked a little bit relieved when he looked at the expressionless face of the party. This was the first time he entered a city as a conqueror, but it didn't seem so good.

Busaco ’s threatening tone apparently still played a role. When he asked Bologna officials to lead him to check the supplies that Caesar had stored here not long ago, although there was an obvious reluctance, there was an official. Forced to hand over a bunch of keys.

"Those things are in warehouses outside the city," the official said stiffly. "But I can only give you the keys and tell you where the place is. I have no right to open those warehouses," he said, adding courage and adding. "Unless approved by the Duke of Valentino or officially authorized by the Earl of Montina, you have no right to possess those materials."

"Relax, I will get authorization from Lord Earl, I just execute his orders in advance." Busako shook the keys in his hand, and although these Bolognese were stubborn, they did not have this kind of character. He was so annoying to him, and the news brought back by the cavalry sent by another made Busako somewhat relieved.

Obviously, the Bolognese insisted and stubbornly followed only the traditional aristocratic privileges. As for the resistance to the occupants, they seem to be less enthusiastic. Except for the closed doors of some churches and monasteries and the rejection of their soldiers, the entire city People in some places actually accepted the fact that they had been occupied with an unexpected calm.

The supplies that Caesar left in Bologna were mainly food and some medicines, but the weapons were not many, and according to the people who left the warehouse, in addition to these materials, there will be more things shipped to Bologna, and then shipped to Ferrara.

Obviously, Caesar is ready to provide supplies for the long-standing isolated Ferrara.

It is also easy to think that once Ferrara is occupied by Caesar, it will definitely become the eye of Montina and Venice. At that time, Ferrara may be cut off from all supplies. At this time, it is necessary to support the city ’s To live a normal life, you must prepare in advance.

It can be seen that Caesar has been thinking about long-term persistence in Ferrara from the beginning.

Looking at the supplies, Busako disregarded the strong opposition of the local officials and immediately politely announced that these things belonged to the Montina army. Then he took a small group of Balkans to the more important goal-Bologna the University.

In 1088, when the whole of Europe was still full of darkness and ignorance in the Middle Ages, while Urban II was still actively preparing to find opportunities to put his long-cherished ambitions into practice into practice, not far from the Vatican Bologna, a higher education institution that was unknown at the time was born.

No one would have imagined that from the time when the princes broke up and the war was everywhere, the oldest academy in Europe stumbled.

Hundreds of years have passed, countless monarchs have come and gone, countless names will be turned into dead bones, castles have been turned into ruins, crowns have fallen into dust, but the University of Bologna has not only miraculously avoided repeated disasters, but instead followed The evolution of the times has grown stronger.

Busaco had long heard of the history of the University of Bologna, but those were all anecdotes and anecdotes that Alexander told them in his spare time, and those stories are indeed too far away for Busaco, at least here He had never thought that one day he would walk into the gate of this so-called first European academy.

After all, everyone here is terrible. When Busako was walking on the school road, he even had the illusion of running into the enemy camp alone.

"stop!"

A man appeared across from them. The man was wearing a slightly thick brown robe. The color looked similar to the exterior walls of the houses near the university. He obviously had no weapons, but he faced several people. Armed soldier, this man did not show a little cowardly look.

"Since Emperor Frederick announced in 1185 that the University of Bologna was not affected by any forces, this institution has not been threatened by any armed personnel." The man stared at Busako with a sharp gaze, his eyes passed by Busa The saber around Ke ’s waist and the Balkans behind him ended up on Busako ’s face. “We have heard of your arrival. It ’s not of interest to whom Bologna is now occupied by us, but you have no right to disturb this school of study. peaceful."

Busako opened his mouth slightly. He felt that his occupier was really aggrieved. It seemed that everyone in this city could blame him. This made him even doubt if he looked like he was a long one. Just like a bully face, otherwise no one would take him as a conqueror seriously.

"Please forgive your lord ..." Busako said helplessly.

But the other party immediately interrupted him: "Is a teacher."

"what?"

"I mean I am a teacher, not a noble."

Looking at the man's serious expression, Busaco could only bow slightly again. At this time, he regretted making the Earl's description of the university so anxious, otherwise he might have the courage to teach the other party, but now he But he didn't dare to do this, especially when he thought that if the count knew that he dared to use force on the campus of the University of Bologna, he might be rushed back to Agri to defend the gate of his life.

"I would like to ask, where is Master Fischer from France." Busako asked patiently.

"Are you saying Master Fischer?" The teacher glanced at Busako slightly and then shook his head gently. "I don't know what you do with that master, but you have to know that he is our guest, so I I suggest you do n’t do anything unreasonable to him. "

"Please rest assured, I just want to visit the master." Busaco smiled, although as this person said he did not dare to do anything to the master Fischer in college, but as long as the French did not leave Bologna, he will not let Fischer jump.

"If so, I suggest you let your soldiers leave here first, and they make my students a little uneasy," the teacher said stubbornly, but then he pointed to a house not far away. "Master Fischer just There, he now lives in the home of Teacher Brigitte. "

Busako first smiled with satisfaction, then asked slightly unexpectedly: "Braggit?"

"Yes, respected Teacher Brigitte, the most profound master of law here, Master Fischer came to exchange knowledge with him." The teacher showed a proud look.

"Excuse me, I would like to ask, this master Brigitte, does he have a daughter?" Busako asked cautiously, speaking from the university that looked very majestic since he walked in. The courage seems to have become a lot smaller.

Hearing his inquiry, the teacher showed a little more vigilance. He first took a closer look at Busako's face, then suddenly said in a slightly sympathetic tone: "Although I don't know what you think, but I advise you to give up. "

"What?" Busacomo looked at each other inexplicably.

"I mean Gina," the teacher couldn't enlighten her with a kind tone. "Gina won't look at you. In fact, you should know if you have inquired. She has publicly announced that she will not choose. A scholar is not as good as her man as a husband, but this is not the most critical thing. The real trouble is that Mr. Bridget supports her to do this, so if you want to pursue Gina, you must at least win the award of the year. . "

Listening to the teacher, Busaco's face appeared strange.

Just a short time ago, he was underestimated by those Bologna officials, and now he is despised because he has no learning, and think about the girl student named Gina Brigitt when she said her name. With a look of disregard, Busaco began to feel that the people in this city seemed to be deeply malicious towards him.

Pepone Brigitt ’s home is a small building with a large balcony. When Busaco came to the door, he obviously felt that the people in the house seemed nervous after he arrived. That atmosphere.

The flashing figure that could be seen through the window glass next to him proved his speculation, and when he signaled the soldiers behind him to prepare, the door opened and the young woman he met appeared at the door.

"Hello Miss Gina, I'm going to see your father, Master Brigitte." Busaco bowed.

"Or are you right to find Master Fischer?" The young woman did not give up, but looked at the Balkans behind Busako. "I know I did something wrong. This is a lesson for me."

"You don't have to be too sad, even a learned person like you may not be stupid." Busako came to this sentence without knowing what happened, and then he suddenly felt that he had been "grieved" at once Diluted a lot.

But Gina Brigitte didn't jump like thunder as Busako had conjectured. She just looked at him calmly, and then gave way to the next flash.

"Master Fischer is waiting for you, General."

Busaco walked into the room a little boringly. He wasn't worried that the French in the house would attack him. Unless they were really stupid, they would only cause trouble for themselves.

In the living room, Busaco saw Fischer.

The future president of the University of Paris and the think tank of Louis XII looked calm and calm. Compared with the slightly nervous students next to him, Busaco even felt that the master was a bit too casual.

The other person sitting next to Fischer simply looked at Busaco with a slightly interested eye.

"Our hero, the savior of the world of Christ is here." Fischer stood up, he smiled and looked at Busaco who walked into the living room, and then turned back to his students, "You should know this person, just He injured the Sultan of Ottoman with artillery. "

Several French people were surprised. Although they had heard of the person's name, meeting them in this situation made them curious and nervous.

"Dear Master, I am more interested in what name he occupied Bologna," said the old man next to the interface, watching Gina Brigitte walk over to accompany him, Busaco has already confirmed that this is the one Master Brigitte, and sure enough, the master then gave Busaco a problem. "According to the agreement signed, Bologna is the territory directly under the Vatican. It recognizes the Pope as the supreme and sole monarch of Bologna. Bologna ’s invasion will be regarded as a direct challenge to the Vatican. General I do n’t know whether you occupied the city after the order of the Earl of Montina or your own unauthorized decision, but this is no longer important ~ www.mtlnovel. com ~ General, your actions have caused trouble for your monarch and yourself. "

Busaco looked at the two masters across from him. By this time he had determined one thing. He and this city called Bologna were really guilty of rushing.

In a town not far from Ferrara, after listening to the messenger's foreword, and finally figuring out what was going on, Gumpati also froze for a while.

As Master Brigitte said, it is no longer important for what reason, or for whom Busako is now occupying Bologna, what matters is that he is occupying the territory of the Vatican!

"What have you done, Busako," Gumpati shook his head tentatively, but only a moment later he suddenly smiled again, and then Gumpati ordered loudly, "Retreat, to the south bank of the River Reno go with."

Then he waved to the attendants around him: "It seems that I have to disappear for a while, and from now on I will not see anyone from Ferrara."

After finishing, Compatiti grabbed his hat and buckled it on his head, and murmured in his mouth as he walked towards the stable: "God bless, I hope the countess will not be mad at this matter."
