Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Gonzalo strolled leisurely on the grass. He had been hanging around idly for some time.

Not far away, Gonzalo's guard stared at the other Balkans with caution, and whenever they saw someone walking or making some suspicious moves, the Castilians would immediately vigilantly move. stand up.

The result is that both parties have to be careful about what they do to prevent misunderstandings.

Gonzalo seemed to have paid no attention to the contradiction between the soldiers on both sides, and his thoughts had even drifted far into the interior of Europe.

During these few days of travel, Alexander and he conducted a more in-depth discussion on the future method of war after they were in Rome.

What surprised Gonzalo was that he, who had already considered himself very aggressive, found that he was more like a conservative than Alexander.

When Alexander said with absolute certainty that the future will be the age of firearms, one day cold weapons will be completely eliminated, and heavy armored cavalry with thick armor and sharp spears will surely become targets of killing. Gonzalo expressed fierce opposition because of the surprise.

Perhaps it was because the debate at that time was too excited, and the guards on both sides thought that something had happened, and for a time they were struggling, almost causing **** conflict.

Even so, Gonzalo could not accept Alexander's view. He declared that he really valued the power of firearms, but he said that knights and even cold weapons would be replaced by hot weapons, but he could not accept it at all.

"It's too much. Who would have thought that a nobleman who had been educated by knighthood since childhood would think that the age of knights is over," Gonzalo said angrily to the adjutant next to him. "I now doubt that the Duke of Thesia Going astray, he believes too much in the power of firearms. Although the performance of firearms is really impressive, it would be a cranky thought to completely replace cold weapons."

Gonzalo kept complaining, and the adjutant listened in silence until Gonzalo stopped and looked at him: "What's wrong with you, why not speak?"

"Master, do you think the Duke, I mean this one," the adjutant turned his head to the opposite Balkans. "Will he become king?"

The adjutant's inquiry caused a strange expression on Gonzalo's face. He looked at the blurred shadow of the city of Toledo in the distance and then turned his head to ask, "So why don't you think the Duke didn't invite me to Toledo?"

The adjutant was taken aback, and he didn't seem to understand why Gonzalo asked this, and then he used to say: "That's because..."

After only half a sentence, the adjutant gradually stopped.

"Because of what?" Gonzalo continued to ask.

"Perhaps he was worried that this might be detrimental to him," although the answer was vaguely guessed, the adjutant was still a bit stubborn. "You are the most outstanding general in Castile. If you declare against him in front of the elders, maybe he There is no way to escape Toledo."

"It might be really good if that was the case," Gonzalo sighed helplessly. "I thought I would always be loyal to the queen forever, and the queen would always sit on her throne, but now everything has changed, and I become It makes Ferdinand hate the person who is the most annoying and can't be separated, and it is really difficult to believe that Juana is her daughter."

"So you also need to think about it for yourself," the lieutenant nodded. "But what does this have to do with your question?"

Gonzalo chuckled, watching the grass under his feet twisting with boots, and then raised his feet to look at it.

"What kind of person do you think the queen is?"

"The queen is a very generous person." The adjutant thought about it and thought it would be better to answer carefully.

Listening to this apparently insincere answer, Gonzalo reluctantly smiled again.

He looked in the direction of Valladolid and said in a calm tone: "Queen Isabella is the greatest monarch I have ever seen. I don’t even think Ferdinand is worthy of her. Now it seems that she The only fault seems to be to go to heaven prematurely."

The adjutant listened in silence, he thought the general today was very strange.

Not only his words, but also the kind of tone that makes people seem to always vaguely feel sarcasm.

Everyone knows that Gonzalo's arrogance is sometimes violent, but now this looks strange to the adjutant.

It was a mockery of contempt, and the adjutant noticed that the tone was even stronger, especially when he mentioned Isabella's name.

This was unimaginable in the past, and Gonzalo's respect and loyalty to the Queen even once made Ferdinand doubt any ambiguity between them.

So the lieutenant cleverly kept silent.

"If anyone in this world knows Ferdinand’s ambitions best, only Her Majesty the Queen, so she chose to wear the crown on her head before Ferdinand reached out to the throne of Castile, "Gonzalo continued to move forward. "A lot of people thought I was too unreasonable to Ferdinand, but they did not know it because I could never accept an Aragonese as my monarch."

"But isn't Juana now the queen?"

The adjutant made Gonzalo sneer: "Do you really think Juana is Queen of Castile?"

The adjutant thought for a while and finally shrugged helplessly.

"That's what I've always worried about the most," Gonzalo looked away again. "Juanna is just Ferdinand's puppet, and his ambition is more than just being the monarch of the two kingdoms."

"What else?" the adjutant asked unexpectedly, thinking he couldn't think of anything else that would make Ferdinand think about it.

"I ask what kind of person you think the queen is, but your answer is slippery," Gonzalo glanced at the adjutant slightly. "Now let me tell you, neither the queen nor Ferdinand. Like nobles."

The adjutant looked at Gonzalo in amazement. Although this idea was always hidden in his heart, he was now directly spoken by Gonzalo. This made the adjutant feel a little helpless because of the accident.

"Don't look at me with this expression, it makes you look like an idiot," Gonzalo mumbled and continued, "The queen never trusts nobles, whether they are loyal to Enrique or choose to follow her, She believes that the power of the nobles is very large, perhaps too large, which makes her completely unbearable."

The adjutant listened in silence, he was a subordinate of Gonzalo, a close friend, and his vassal vassal, which made him more trusted by Gonzalo than others, but even then, these words were the first time to listen to Gonza Luo said.

"The queen will eventually deprive the nobles of power, which of course includes me."

"But you are the queen's most loyal general."

"The most loyal general does not mean that it is the most satisfying," Gonzalo showed a mocking look. "For Her Majesty, she needs to be someone like Thomas Tongomad. "

The adjutant was silent, he didn't know how to answer, at this time Gonzalo was not like the loyal servant of the well-known Isabella.

The sarcasm in his demeanor is so obvious, it seems that he did not care about the queen who was allegiance before him.

"Trust me, if your majesty is still alive, I will dedicate everything to me without hesitation, even if the failure in Seville is even more terrible, I will not surrender to the enemy," Gonzalo glanced sideways and seemed unsure Lieutenant of Coo "But the queen passed away prematurely. The next thing I have to face is Ferdinand. I can't think of any reason why I should be loyal to him or even their daughter."

The adjutant listened stunnedly. He didn't expect that he would hear such words from the general one day, but somehow he thought about Gonzalo's behavior in the past, but he had to admit that this was exactly what he said.

Even before, Gonzalo never concealed his attitude of loyalty to Isabella.

Even many times he publicly expressed his disregard for Ferdinand.

It was only then that the Castilian nobles regarded his behavior as the pride of the Castilians.

And Isabella sometimes seems to be dissatisfied, but when you think about it, more of it is acquiescence and encouragement.

But Isabella is dead.

This is not expected by anyone.

The queen's only mistake is her premature death.

When Isabella swallowed her last breath, it was not just a Queen of Castilea who died, but also an era.

An era that really only belongs to Castile ended here.

Ferdinand may ultimately fail to realize his dream of wearing two crowns, but he can achieve this goal by controlling his daughter.

Gonzalo clearly couldn't tolerate Ferdinand's finger-pointing, and more importantly, Ferdinand apparently would continue to complete Isabella's original career of curbing noble privileges.

If Isabella was alive, Gonzalo’s only option was to obey the Queen’s orders and eventually give up his powers like everyone else.

But when facing Ferdinand, he was less reconciled.

"But lord, the Duke of Rome Thesia does not seem to like the nobility to have too much power."

Hearing the adjutant's reminder, Gonzalo glanced at him, and after thinking a little, he muttered, "Although, he gave too much."

Alexander sat in front of the Archbishop of the Order and carefully tasted what is said to be the best monastery wine in Castile.

The geography and climate of Toledo allow the land here to grow grapes that are more suitable for winemaking than anywhere else.

As early as more than six centuries ago, the locals of Toledo already knew how to steam the wines that had been stored for a long time, and then make moderate wines suitable for drinking in winter.

Now the "monastery gem" that is more flavorful than ordinary wine is the pride of Toledo.

After taking a sip, I didn't swallow it quickly, but tasted it slightly between the lips and teeth. The slight acidity showed a bit of spicy stimulation to make people's spirits excited because of the stimulation of taste buds.

"This wine is really good," Alexander smiled at the Archbishop. "As far as I know, the Vatican's cardinals like to drink wine from Lombardy, but I think if this wine can be introduced into the Vatican, it will definitely cause a sensation."

The words of Alexander made the Archbishop's heart lightly beat, and he was keenly aware that it was not just wine.

Look at the young man in front of him, think about his deep-rooted power in the Vatican, and even his once-known title of "Roman King", the heart of the archbishop who was originally provoked can no longer calm down.

It's just that he didn't expect that Alexander's next words would be so "direct and honest".

"You will become a cardinal," Alexander ignored the unexpected look of the Archbishop because of the surprise. "This I can assure you, I think you also know that I have many friends in the Vatican. Among them, my wife, the Barenti family of Genoa, can Become your ally in the Vatican, and you can get help from Bishop Masimo of Romagna."

The archbishop, who gradually calmed down from the accident, listened carefully. He knew that Alexander had revealed to him that the news was indeed telling him what to do in the Vatican, and more importantly, he was suggesting that even without his help, the Roman Vatican in the Vatican The Principality of West Asia still has strong forces and strong allies.

At this time, the Archbishop knew that he could not continue to hold back, otherwise this rare sale might be a joke.

"I believe you will be a wise monarch."

Hearing the archbishop's words, Alexander finally relieved himself.

Only he himself knows that he is not as relaxed as he looks. Even when he first saw the Archbishop, the tension in his heart was unimaginable to others.

In fact, Alexander was not worried that the Archbishop opposed him or that the veterans were hostile to him.

His only concern is that these people cannot give up their power willingly as he had previously imagined.

If so, his only option is war.

Alexandria did not want a civil war in Iberia, which was bound to be a disaster both for him now and for the future Kingdom of Spain.

The whole of Europe is facing an ever-changing change. UU reading www.uukanshu.com King of France will finally break through the curse of the island of Paris, they will gradually build a powerful and centralized France.

Habsburg will use their marriage to eventually establish Austria's status as a powerful European country within a few generations.

In the north, the low-lying countries that are not yet conspicuous will rise rapidly, and the sea coachman will become the cash cow of Spain in the future, and it will also become a bottomless swamp that will sink Spain into it.

As for the British, even if they were eventually rushed back to the isolated island, they never gave up the opportunity to stir up the wind and rain on the European continent. Then, in the next more than a century, they will become Spain’s largest on the ocean. The enemy, and eventually establish the position of the world empire to replace Spain.

This is really an era full of opportunities and challenges, full of wealth and danger.

Alexander thought to himself, raised his glass, and looked at the chief senator who had just entered the room.

"I propose to let us respect this era."
