Chapter 188: Dawn is coming(2/2)

Because the Ottomans were about to invade.

For a long time, the Venetians have been happy to open up their own maritime territory. They regard the entire Mediterranean as their own pool. Wherever the Venetian sailboats reach, their path to wealth will be paved.

However, the Ottomans broke their dreams. The huge setbacks in maritime trade made the Venetians fight the Ottomans at all times, and they relied on their years of maritime strength.

But now the Ottoman is coming from the land.

With the expansion of power in the Balkans throughout 1497 and the first half of 1498, Bayesette II was no longer satisfied with occupying only the entire Greek. His eyes were turned to the inland European countries, at least now his target was Bucharest.

The Venetians obviously felt the threat, and they were even willing to give up a lot of money, just hoping that the Hungarian king could withstand the Ottomans.

As for when the Ottomans would attack Bucharest, Alexander believed that no one knew better than him.

In addition to understanding history, this is mainly because someone revealed the news to him.

Ashulk was very satisfied with his current relationship with Alexander. According to the method discussed with him, the result of writing letters to Sudan several times was that their business was in full swing, and the risk of trade at sea was much smaller than that of any chamber of commerce.

The result is that the business of the Free Trade Union is getting better and better, and Ashulk's pocket is getting stronger and stronger.

So in return, after receiving the news that the Sultan was preparing to attack Bucharest, Ashulk's first thing was to reveal the news to the Moors who happened to come to his mansion to greet him.

"The Venetians are now having a headache for the Ottomans," Alexander smiled at Lucrezia. "So we don't need to worry now, and the Venetians will come to us for peace in the end."

"But you also saw the messenger, and his arrogant attitude did not seem to be coming to seek peace."

Lucrezia said a little annoyed that she was not necessarily hostile to Venice, but because the envoy woke Estres who was sleeping because of his fierce words during the meeting.

As a result, the noble Duke's temper became very angry after waking up. For a moment, only the Duke's Miss cried in anger in the entire hall. This scene made both the guest and the host and the guest feel extremely embarrassed.

"He actually woke our daughter up. Shouldn't someone cut his head?"

Alexander's slightly mischievous inquiry made Lucrezia a little annoyed, but then she became a little worried.

"Will the Venetians send troops directly to invade Pisa?"

"No," Alexander decisively denied Lucrezia's idea. "The Venetians have money, and for them, they will not take the initiative to trap themselves in the matter that can be solved with money. They are the same for Florence. Although they can send people to hijack Tomño, as you just saw, because there is no direct evidence, their messengers can deny this accusation, so they don't have to worry about anything, but it is very inappropriate for Venice to send troops directly."

Lucrezia nodded in a slight sense of understanding. She felt a little bored. Although the incident of her daughter becoming the Duke of Pisa made her happy, the busy government affairs that followed her annoyed her.

"I feel like I haven't changed my clothes for a long time." Lucrezia walked to the mirror and looked at herself inside and twisted a few times. "This is the first time I've worn a piece of clothing for so long."

"Yes, it's been a long time since I only changed two sets of clothes in the morning." Alexander smiled slightly teasingly. He knew that it was indeed a bit embarrassing for Lucrezia to be obsessed with government affairs, but he had to insist that Lucrezia adapt to this kind of life as soon as possible, because soon she would have to face this situation alone.

"I mean, I've been wearing these clothes for a long time," Lucrezia glanced at Alexander a little annoyed, as if she was angry that he didn't understand what she said, and then she simply pulled the ribbon buckle on her chest and hooked together. "Don't you miss me before I didn't wear clothes?"

Alexander's lips were a little dry. Speaking of which, they had not been intimate for some days since Lucrezia gave birth to a child. Now, looking at the young woman's temptation, the heat in Alexander's heart rose a little.

"It seems inconvenient here, and your body has not recovered yet, which is not good for your health."

Alexander tried his best to convince Lucrezia, or simply said that he wanted to convince himself, but when Lucrezia's fiery body leaned against him, he felt that no one could convince him.

But at this moment, a knock on the door interrupted the charming atmosphere.

Lucrezia had to hide behind the screen immediately, and then she heard a follower entering the door say to Alexander: "Sir, Miss Cosenca of Naples send someone to send a letter."
