Don Bawei looked at a letter in his hand seriously. When Alexander walked into the room, he just looked up and greeted him slightly, then made a gesture to ask Alexander to sit aside, and then continued to look at the letter.

This was somewhat rude, but Alexander did not interrupt him, but sat there quietly waiting.

After a while, Don Bavi raised his head again, and then handed the letter to Alexander silently.

"It was sent by Gonzalo." Don Bavi rubbed his aching temples. He looked at Alexander and asked tentatively, "Duke, do you know Gonzalo in Rome, do you?"

"Have dealt with." Alexander answered without looking up. He read it very carefully and chewed and pondered every word in his heart.

Gonzalo's letter was written very politely and frankly. In the letter, he praised Don Bavi's brave deeds in the regaining lost grounds and expressed his admiration for the old man. However, he clearly admitted that since he was appointed as the queen, he would mercilessly eliminate the rebels. Therefore, he urged Don Bavi to accept the queen's persuasion to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise he would have to fulfill the mission granted by the queen, and at that time he would cause blood and killing in Andalusia.

This is a polite but murderous letter, or a letter of persuasion to surrender, where Gonzalo's rebelliousness and despicableness are fully demonstrated.

"He wants me to surrender." Don Bavi said in a calm tone, not seemingly angry at the rudeness in Gonzalo's letter. "I don't know what others will choose, but Duke, you know that I cannot surrender."

"Yes, it's impossible for you to surrender."

Alexander responded in a low voice. He knew that Don Bavi had endured for so many years and could not have been wasted all his previous efforts. What's more, his behavior of hiding Sister Alphonte privately was definitely not comparable to other rebellious nobles. Once he leaked his fate, he would definitely be worse than those who were judged as heretics, so he had no way out.

"I am going to fight Gonzalo," Don Bavi laughed. "We used to fight under the Queen in the war to recover lost lands, but at that time he was just a favorite minister who was valued by the Queen because of his favor. No one could have thought that Gonzalo was already the most powerful general around Isabella."

Alexander heard the contempt and disdain in Don Bawei's tone, but he did not intend to remind Don Bawei not to underestimate the enemy. He knew that for these generals with rich experience, they might make mistakes of one kind or another, but there would be no underestimation of the enemy in these mistakes.

They all know what kind of person their opponents are, and they are even familiar with each other. It is precisely because of this that they know more about how powerful and terrible their enemies are.

"There are not many royal troops in Cordoba," Don Bavi looked at Alexander intentionally or unintentionally. Compared with the attitudes of other nobles in the coalition, he cared more about the reaction of the pope's son-in-law. After all, he always wanted to get support from the Vatican. "If we can defeat this royal troops, I believe the queen should have to consider different voices."

Alexander nodded slightly. He knew that Don Bavi was talking about the Bishops' Palace and the Council of Nobles in the old capital. It was obvious that Don Bavi colluded with some people there, and the imminent war with Portugal would inevitably make it impossible for Andalusia to fight endlessly.

This is why Donbavi dares to confront Isabella. As long as I persist in the first war and do not fail, it will be difficult for Isabella to launch a new attack.

Next is negotiation.

Gonzalo's trip to the Cordoba front brought panic to the Da Andalusian nobles.

This queen's love general is famous in Iberia, so even the most ordinary soldier knows that a very powerful enemy has come this time.

The Andalusian nobles became uneasy, and many began to secretly discuss what to do, while others simply made up their minds to negotiate privately with Gonzalo in Cordoba.

But for some reason, Gonzalo actually refused the request for peace by those people, and he sent people to Don Bavi in ​​a very unconventional way to Don Bavi. In this way, everyone knew that Gonzalo was determined to fight a war.

This result not only surprised the Andalusian nobles, but also Don Bavi felt it was a bit incredible. He didn't understand why Gonzalo had to give up such a good opportunity, but instead tried to solve the problem in such a fierce way, but this happened to be in line with Don Bavi's idea.

He had someone send the letters of the nobles back to each of them, and at the same time expressed his dissatisfaction, and then he called a pre-war meeting.

Isabella obviously would not give up on the nobles who had participated in the rebellion, so by this time, the Andalusian nobles already knew that the only way to wait for them was war.

Once they understood the fate that was bound to come, the tough character of the Andalusians completely broke out. These local nobles who had fought against the Moors for several generations began to mobilize their troops. At the same time, some bold nobles simply began to send subordinates to Cordoba to inquire about the news and prepare to launch an attack at any time.

However, Donbavi was not so anxious. While he quickly adjusted the coalition forces, which were large in number, but were chaotic due to chaos, he sent several teams to explore and investigate in the direction of Cordoba.

Don Bavi did not dare to take Gonzalo lightly. He knew that this person was difficult to deal with, but fortunately, Gonzalo's situation is not much better than him.

Cordoba's army was not the new model army of Gonzalo that was already very effective through Gonzalo, which made Don Bavi feel a little relieved. However, the situation of the aristocratic coalition is not very good now. Although it is obviously better than the enemy in terms of military strength, the chaos and irresistible disadvantages of the coalition forces have also caused Don Bavi to be very troubled.

"This war will be delayed for a long time," Alexander said to James after receiving a secret letter sent by Tiego. "For Gonzalo, this war may become a life-saving talisman he bought for himself."

James' fat body moved and nodded to Alexander with a slightly complimentary expression.

Just the night before, his elder brother Christopher Columbus finally came to him.

Although it was not said in detail, James already knew that Columbus had agreed to accept the position arranged by Alexander for him, and this position was obviously below him.

This made James very happy. Looking at Columbus' angry but helpless expression, he felt that it was worth it.

Looking at Alexander now, James suddenly felt that Alexander was not surprised by this result. Even Columbus had to accept the compromise of reality in the end, which seemed to be within Alexander's expectations.

This made James suddenly have new ideas about Alexander's speculation about the new colony.

Although he had believed before that Alexander should have been very sure to invest so much money in the new colony, his trust has now become an almost blind trust.

He felt that Alexander must have known something, and perhaps he had evidence that others did not have that prove that the land, as he said, was actually a huge continent much larger than everyone imagined.

This made James' heart feel a strong thought: "Since Christopher can become the governor of the new colony for a time, what will he become if he discovers that new world?"

This thought made James excited, and his eyes as he looked at Alexander also became hot.

Alexander could feel the change in James's mood. He knew that this person, who was actually as greedy as his brother, was thinking about something, but he didn't mind.

An ambitious person is always more useful than those who just want to live a life. As for those who are afraid of their ambitions, they can only say that they have too little confidence in themselves.

Alexander believed that he could control everything, just as he had the confidence to make a stir on this land when he first came to Iberia.

Now in a few months, the situation in Iberia has undergone tremendous changes. Manuel and Isabella are already in a state of turmoil, and the war between the two countries is about to break out.

At the same time, although the surprise rebellion in Andalusia was not in his plan, it also played an unexpected role.

So what else was he not expecting?

Perhaps only Gonzalo was ordered to return to China.

Alexander was exploring this matter and planned to write letters to Barenti and Ruosha respectively.

But before he could pick up the pen, with another secret message sent by a messenger sent by Diego from Valencia, one by one, astonishing news finally reached Seville.

In this secret letter that took a lot of time to decipher just because of too much content, Alexander paid the most attention to Caesar's actions.

"Caesar escaped from Elba?"

Alexander frowned tightly. He knew that Caesar had always been very dishonest. Even if he was imprisoned on Elba, it was just a temporary solution. However, he didn't expect that he was so impatient to make trouble again.

And every time he did this, Lucrezia kept crying and begging in front of Alexander for forgiveness and forgiveness for her brother.

"Caesar returned to Rome."

Alexander continued to look at the following content in the secret letter. When he saw Alexander VI using a solemn and public welcome to show the world his support for his son, Alexander couldn't help but rub his forehead gently with his fingers, and an inexplicable look appeared on his face.

The expression was mixed with helplessness, mockery and a hint of indescribable things. When he let out a sigh of relief, his face was left with a feeling of ease that seemed to finally relax.

"Caesar."

Alexander said in a cold tone and put the secret letter aside.

"Master, don't you let the messenger bring back any reply?" Sher whispered. Although he didn't know what happened, he knew that something big must have happened, judging by the scale of the secret letter. Now that he saw that Alexander didn't seem to be planning to write a reply, he couldn't help but remind him.

"I will write a reply, but I have to arrange other things before that," Alexander stood up and walked to the window, looking at the coalition forces running on the streets outside, and turned to Shell and asked Shell, "How long do you think they can resist?"

"Are you talking about dealing with that Gonzalo?" Sher thought for a little confusedly. "Master, I don't know how powerful that Gonzalo is, but I think if he was about the same as the Sultan of Bayesette, these guys might have been in trouble. You know what happened in Bucharest. If it weren't for you, Bucharest might have fallen now."

"I'm very grateful for your compliment, but we all know that the real miracle just comes from an unexpected shell," Alexander glanced at Sher. "But you said right, these people are not opponents of Gonzalo at all. Their final result was defeat and surrender. The best result for Don Bavi was to rely on procrastination to force Isabella to accept his conditions."

Alexander said and looked out the window again, then he shook his head: "I have to let this go. Since Gonzalo is back, there should be enough things for him to do."

After saying that, Alexander walked to the table and picked up his pen, thought for a while, and began to write letters to Uriu and Normezi in Valladot.

"I already know what happened in Roman Thesia. Although it is somewhat unexpected, it is not the end of the world. So what you should do is continue to carry out your plans as I arranged before. I think you have already made a good relationship with our friend Philip during this period of time. What will happen next? I believe you are ready. So wait for my return and let us witness the final glory of Isabella and her family."

After writing this short text message, Alexander carefully translated it into a password and sealed it aside.

Then he looked up at Sher, as if explaining to him: "Now, it's time for me to resolve what happened in Roman Thesia."

After saying that, he picked up a blank piece of letter paper, dipped the pen in full of ink, but did not finish the pen, but paused for a moment, and then he wrote the only sentence on the letter paper.

"What God belongs to God, and what Caesar belongs to Caesar."

Then, he put the envelope with only one sentence on the table.

"Let the church messengers send this letter and tell them that I will give them enough rewards to send the letter to you in a timely manner."

Scher picked up the letter from the table and carefully kept it. The Balkans felt a little as if the Duke was going to do something big this time.

In the last few days of April 1501, several major events that attracted countless people's attention occurred in Italy, which was covered with war clouds.

After entering the Duchy of Rometheia, the French army took a break and began to advance southward in two groups. Their purpose was very clear, which was to take down Montina, the central core of the principality, and Pisa, which was very important to Romanesia.

In order to achieve this goal, King Louis XII of France personally led his troops to advance towards Montina, and this time, Powellen, the Earl of Proswan, marched towards Pisa while being responsible for protecting the security of the French right wing.

The French army's move attracted the attention of various Italian countries, and everyone could not help but be wary of Louis XII's ambitions.

People's eyes were set on central Italy, and they knew that perhaps this war in Roman Thesia would be a signal to determine whether the French would annex the entire Italian Peninsula.

An army of nearly 50,000 people appeared on the Italian Peninsula, which was a matter of fearing anyone.

Louis XII believed that in the face of his unstoppable momentum, the Duchess of Roman Thesia who was regent had the only choice but to surrender and negotiate peace, and he had even prepared her the only condition to accept, which was to announce the abandonment of the crown of the Principality of Roman Thesia in place of her husband.

At this time, another news that made Louis XII feel more sure of victory came. After returning to Rome, Caesar immediately announced the formation of a new Pope army, and at the same time he also officially issued a declaration of war to the Principality of Romethesia.

When Caesar's men rushed to the French barracks to report his decision to Louis XII, Louis XII believed that it was only a matter of time before the Romanesque Principality failed under such a two-army attack.

Louis decided to send a surrender to Roman Thecia.

But this action of surrendering has not been achieved.

On April 21, just a week after Caesar formed an army and announced the declaration of war on Rometheia, a statement signed by the envoys of the various principalities and city-states in the city of Rome was suddenly submitted to Pope Alexander through Cardinal Mahimo.

Pisa, Ferrara, Romanescia, Venice, Bologna, Florence, Naples and Taranto, and the territorial lords announced the formation of the third anti-French sacred alliance and declared war on France!

Almost at the same time, Genoa's exiled nobles represented by the exiled Doria and the Cargino family also announced their joining the alliance.

Subsequently, Mariano de Metic, who had become a cardinal, publicly announced his support for the Divine Alliance.

In these unexpected actions, the performance of the Kingdom of Naples surprised Alexander VI, who had just expressed support for Caesar, not only unexpectedly, but also shocked!

On April 25, Naples's regent Queen Rusha Kosenza Astamara announced that she would personally lead Naples and Taranto to send troops to the north along the coast of Tirenian by sea and land.

The destination of the maritime troops was Pisa Port, while the army led by Ruosha himself on land reached Rome!

Obviously, Ruosha proved her strong support for her brother with her tough attitude of completely copying Louis XII's way of entering.

Just when Alexander VI was shocked by Ruosha's actions, another news that surprised him also came from the north.

Maximian sent his chief palace minister, and on the day he arrived in Montina, Kotschach announced in the name of the emperor to join the third anti-French Holy Alliance.

A war that has been brewing for a long time on both sides is about to unfold on Italian land.

At this time, no one noticed that a letter from Iberia, delivered by the church messengers, was finally delivered to a young Jewish man in Naples on the last day of April.

Looking at the content of the letter with only one sentence, Joseph Buccini narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then he smiled at the two companions who were waiting anxiously with their necks stretched out, "Go and tell Fuger's family that you can close the net."
