Conquer the Dawn of Heaven - v7 Chapter 298

Madrid in this era is neither the capital of the Spanish empire nor the prosperous city that has been piled up with almost half of the wealth of the New World.

There was no glorious palace called the mother of Versailles. The famous Grand Place in Venice was just a wasteland filled with **** at this time, smelly in sunny days, and once it rains, sewage flows into the wilderness.

If you stand on a slightly higher place, you will see that the whole city looks messy because of no planning.

There are low and messy houses everywhere, and the winding and narrow lanes cover almost half of the city of Madrid like a spider web.

Several avenues that are barely reasonable, divide the entire city into several areas of different sizes.

Among them, some of the places closest to the El Pardo Palace live in Madrid’s nobles, while a little further away are those who have made big fortunes or artists with a reputation.

That part of the city has become the most prosperous place in Madrid. Sorry, the Grand Place of Venice is on the open space near the east of this city.

It’s just that now, apart from countless tents of various colors, the square is reflected like a large colorful flower group, there is nothing worth noting.

The sudden arrival of the Pope really surprised the Madrid nobles headed by Don Capendi.

They had heard the unexpected news of the pope’s sudden disappearance before, and for this reason Don Capendi immediately sent his subordinates to look around to prevent people from taking the opportunity to riot.

In order to guard against possible accidents, Don Capendi once again used the prisoners he had used in prison, and this time he promised them freedom, errands, and status.

The only thing he didn’t promise was wealth, because the warden knew that he could not give this.

Don Capendi is a truly ambitious person, and he has the ability to match his ambition, which even Isabella and Ferdinand can’t help but admit.

It is a pity that Isabella’s early death completely cuts off Don Capendi’s chance to show off his ambitions.

But perhaps it was the mercy of God, and soon another once-in-a-lifetime opportunity appeared in front of him, and he firmly grasped this opportunity in his hands.

Many people do not know why Don Capendi was exiled to Madrid by Isabella.

But the warden knew in his heart that the queen was protecting him.

Don Capendi had hoped to return Isabella with this, but perhaps because it was estimated that Ferdinand, Isabella no longer paid attention to the fact that he was driven from the position of Minister of the Security of Valaritod. Walking man.

This gradually cooled his gratitude for Isabella, and later he even felt resentment.

Alexander gave him another chance, which made Don Capendi feel that I could show my ambitions again.

When he heard about the warden’s past from Don Bandraz, Alexander was almost surprised and uncontrollable.

Because he found that the warden was really an amazing talent.

About ten years ago, Don Capendi, who was still the Minister of Security at the time, submitted to Isabella an idea that was not perfect at the time.

He wanted to establish a completely independent security agency in Castile directly under the Queen’s.

This institution is different from the army of Castile and the guards of the nobles, but a security force that is fully accountable to the queen herself.

The duty of this force is to fight criminals and catch all enemies inside and outside the kingdom that may threaten it. Unlike the army, their main enemy comes from within Castile, and Don Carpenti believes that this institution Should have the same power as religious trials.

Although Don Banderas didn’t describe it in such detail, Alexander’s mind quickly flashed through the term “police”, a term that would never appear in this era.

Perhaps Don Capendi’s idea is still in its rudimentary form, but Alexander has determined that this is indeed all the characteristics of the early police.

This man actually wanted to establish a police agency to control the country in the early 16th century, and he had to make Alexander feel like a fantasy.

But thinking about it, he vaguely remembered that the earliest policeman in the world seemed to have appeared in France, and that he was using prisoners in prisons.

This made Alexander feel that this did not seem to be a coincidence, and when he had a deep conversation with Don Capendi and learned that his family had an offshoot in France, Alexander once guessed that perhaps this prison was in history. After being depressed for a long time, he went to France to join relatives and friends, but he was able to realize his ideals.

This seems not impossible. Louis XII is a very brilliant and shrewd monarch. The reason why he is called a friend of the people is not just because he deliberately pleases the common people, but he knows how to use the relationship between common people and nobles. The contradiction of getting what he wants.

It was in the process of using contradictions to achieve goals again and again that Louis XII was able to experience the suffering of the people more personally, and thus he was able to implement good governance.

So after discovering that the law and order situation in France is so bad, it is not so abrupt to appoint a minister of law and order from a foreign country.

And as long as you think that such a powerful person is a foreigner, Louis XII doesn’t have to worry about what threat he might pose to himself.

It is precisely because of this thinking that Alexander left Don Carpenti in Madrid.

He hopes that the warden, who is likely to be the father of the world police, can establish a prototype of a perfect police institution for him in Madrid.

If possible, he will promote this institution to the entire kingdom.

With the unification of royal power, it is an inevitable trend to establish a political system that separates the military from administration. Under this general trend, the establishment of a sound police system is also an indispensable means.

Moreover, this can quickly centralize the power of the kingdom, which is more conducive to the fundamental collapse of the noble power.

After Alexander took away Don Bandraz and the three nobles, Don Capendi is now the second most powerful man in Madrid.

Above him is Gonzalo, one of the two giants of the Castilian nobles.

For the arrival of the Pope, Gonzalo was very cold.

He refused to go to the El Pardo Palace to meet the Pope without even finding a reasonable reason.

But this also made Alexander VI secretly relieved.

It was really hard for the Pope to imagine what it would be like to see the one who had taught him face to face again.

After all, when he was in the Vatican, Gonzalo was able to make him faceless in the public.

Alexander VI wondered if he would let the embarrassing scene happen again. If so, maybe he would really be mad.

Fortunately, Gonzalo’s arrogance made this embarrassment not reappearing, but the nobles of Madrid found it in a dream, and suddenly Madrid became the most noticeable place in the Iberian Peninsula.

What also surprised people was that after the pope had met with him publicly, the first person to be summoned except for the Archbishop of Madrid was Don Capendi.

This made many Madrid aristocrats who were originally dissatisfied with the prison director’s sudden implosion finally understand that Don Capendi is real this time.

The attention from the regent and the pope is enough to increase the status of the warden. After a secret comparison, some people even think that maybe it can’t be compared with the two giants, but Don Capendi is now enough to be equal to the three nobles.

However, in addition to the various speculations and discussions among the Madrid people, what people are really concerned about is the return of the Pope.

Alexander VI was not killed, and went to Madrid safely after missing for a while!

First, it was not the messengers sent by the nobles who hurriedly carried the news to various places, but many businessmen.

Most of these businessmen operate in the following industries:

Some of them are arms dealers, and some are simply arms manufacturers.

Some of them are well-capitalized and run several large-scale factories to make all kinds of armors, while others focus on forging weapons.

The other person is a grain merchant, or a group of brokers.

When these people first heard that there would be war, they often flocked to them, hoarding a large amount of various materials and grains and then selling them to the kings and nobles they like.

If those buyers don’t have a lot of money, they don’t mind the credit, but the prices and conditions will appear harsher.

Of course, some of these people have lost their money because they looked away, but it is huge that they would rather take risks and invest in this kind of war business.

The upcoming war between Castile and Aragón is undoubtedly one of the most talked-about business experiences of these merchants during this time.

They asked people everywhere to inquire about the news, and tried to get in touch with the regent through various channels, in order to let him take care of his business.

Now that Alexander VI has arrived in Madrid suddenly, it becomes a suspense whether the war will break out.

Businessmen are eager to pass the news out, because even if it is only half a day at night, it may cause great losses.

However, the news of these merchants was still slower. With the huge advantage of the “Church Post”, the first to rush into Vallarido with this important news was a church messenger sent by Madrid Cathedral.

The church messenger hurriedly appeared at the side entrance of Valaritod Cathedral, and could not escape the countless eyes that stared at the pain and movement of the feet.

In other words, this does not need to be deliberately concealed, so shortly after reality entered the cathedral, news about the pope’s whereabouts was deliberately revealed from the cathedral.

The city of Vallitod was boiling.

Before that, people were watching, waiting, and guessing how Alexander faced this accident.

The accidental killing of Juana and his wife caused Ferdinand to leave Castile sadly.

Now, will Alexander just repeat his mistakes?

This speculation made the nobles who had publicly announced the world show anxious.

Let those who restore the hostility secretly rejoice.

It also caused a group of people who still remain silent to have their own thoughts.

For some people who are naturally adventurous but not eager to make a choice, Alexander now seems to be facing a difficult situation, which is their best opportunity.

Standing up at this time to express support for the Regent is definitely more important than relying on the past from the beginning.

Of course, doing so does take great risks, but just like those merchants who speculate in wars, these nobles are also speculating on their present and future.

So after the pope’s disappearance, not only did the number of people around Alexander not decrease, but suddenly some new people appeared.

There are naturally all kinds of frictions and contradictions between these people and a group of people who have taken refuge in Alexander earlier, but these are not important to Alexander.

Although he had great confidence in Uliu, only Alexander knew about it during this time, and he was under tremendous pressure anytime and anywhere.

After some planning and arrangements, the threat from Austria has been suppressed and postponed by his best efforts.

Maybe Maximine will finally be able to get rid of the series of troubles, but Alexander believes that by that time, he has firmly established the throne of Castile.

As for Aragon, Alexander has also considered mature, he must assist Ruosha to become the queen of Aragon!

For this he has decided to wage an inevitable war with Ferdinand.

This will be a war without compromise, only one side will win or lose.

For this reason, he is also ready to mobilize all the forces so far to start a European war.

The world has never really been at peace, and all Alexander can do is to make war more efficient.

He has neither the energy nor the interest to fight a long battle that may last for several generations, and even countless wealth is burned with the flames of the war, so he must try his best to let the disputes that may lead to future disputes also affect him. Try to solve it within the time.

“Human life span is really short.”

Hearing the master’s sudden sigh, Schell couldn’t help but glance at Alexander a little strangely.

The master is still very young. It is a good time to be rich and have many children and grandchildren. Sher believes that perhaps she can see the birth of a large group of princes and princesses. Of course, their mothers are different, but what’s the point?

So it was a bit hypocritical to make such a sigh at this time, and Schell glanced at Alexander again thinking about it.

“Schel, how many wishes do you think you can fulfill in this life?” Alexander noticed the look in his eyes and asked without waiting for the guard who didn’t seem to understand him. He continued to say “If let If you write a wish list, you may eventually find that there are few pitiful wishes realized in the end. This is not because you cannot do it, but because people’s life span is too short.”

Schell said “Oh”, seemingly understanding, he didn’t understand what the master was thinking, in fact most of the time he didn’t understand what Alexander was doing, although the master seemed to be trying to teach him something.

“Schel, you should read more, maybe I should send you to Bologna to replace Busaco, knowing that he has been there long enough, I think he should learn something too.”

Xie Er suddenly became nervous. He didn’t expect the master to suddenly have such an idea. Just as he was anxiously wondering how to ask the master not to give such an order, Alexander chuckled softly: “But if you leave who will come Stand guard for me, know that Ruosha will be coming to Valladolid soon.”

Alexander’s words let the Balkan people’s hanging heart all at once. Although they didn’t say it clearly, the different attitudes towards him and Busako were faintly revealed in Alexander’s words, which instantly relieved the Balkans a lot.

Of course Alexander trusted his former commander of the Guardsman, but this trust was obviously different from that of Schell, at least he wouldn’t let Busako stand guard for him when he was meeting with Rusha.

An attendant hurriedly knocked on the door and came in, standing at the door and reporting: “Your Highness, the clerk asked for an audience.”

As his words just fell, Don Bandraz has also walked in in a hurry.

As the mayor of Madrid at this time, there is no calmness on his face. On the contrary, there are some obvious ups and downs in his emotions because of his excitement.

“Your Highness, His Majesty the Pope has arrived in Madrid.”

Alexander looked at Don Bandraz. In fact, when the attendant opened the door, he had already heard the faint whispers from the corridor outside, which made him believe that at this time, most of the nobles of Ariaridoda had gathered. Royal palace.

The Pope arrived in Madrid safely, but the news was enough to shake the entire Ariaridoda.

All the previous rumors and speculations that were not conducive to the Regent were undefeated at this moment, and the nobles suddenly discovered that the Regent was never as powerful as it is now.

If Charlie is still in Castile at this time, perhaps the army will split due to their different loyalties, but now there is the influence of Gonzalo, who is based in Madrid, and the Castilian army chooses to be loyal to the future. The new monarch.

And once Ferdinand decides to return to Castile to regain the throne, it means that there will be a war between the two countries, and the army will be loyal to Alexander by then.

Now that the Pope arrived in Madrid safely, by this time everyone knew that the regent became the new king of Castile and no one could stop it.

“Are they all outside?”

Alexander asked Don Bandraz.

Although the question was a little vague, Don Bandraz already knew who Alexander was talking about.

“Yes, Your Highness,” Don Bandraz calmed down his excitement a little bit. At this moment, his worries and perplexities turned into satisfaction after gain. Since the decision to join Alexander, he has not considered the possibility of failure. The tragic result, but the huge rewards of success made him willing to take a risk. Now it seems that this adventure is worthwhile. “Everyone is waiting for your order.”

“Well, let’s meet them together. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com”

Alexander’s words made his heart excited again. He knew that maybe at this moment, he would truly become a part of the regent like Alexander’s cronies.

Opening the door, accompanied by a dull whisper, Alexander saw the dark crowd standing in the long and narrow living room extending to the outside corridor.

Noting the door opened, the whispers stopped abruptly, and everyone couldn’t help but look towards the door.

Looking at the countless lights cast, Alexander was silent for a while, and then he said: “Castilla is about to usher in a new era. I know that all of you have made the right choice, so now tell me your answer! “

No one spoke, but everyone looked at Don Bandraz in unison.

“Long live the Kingdom of Castile,” Don Bandraz took two steps forward, standing in front of everyone and shouting to Alexander, “Long live the King!”

“Long live the king!”
