Just as the two young Urbino were just beginning their journey to Rome, Alexander was on his way back to Montina.

With Tomneo declaring that he would entrust all day-to-day affairs to his "guardian of the heir", Pisa finally officially entered the "era of the House of Gombray".

In fact, when Nomelo arrived in Pisa with the Pope's edict, he had already foreshadowed such an outcome, but both Tomneo and some people with illusions refused to admit the final defeat.

Tomneo had hoped for assistance from the other city-states, and he even tried to risk sending a message to his wife's maiden family, only to soon discover that neither Florence nor any other city that could hear the news was deaf or dumb about what was happening in Pisa, as if no one knew what was going on in the city at any time except the Pisan themselves.

As a result of Tomneo's desperation, he still received the annuity promised by Alexander, and then, with the testimony of all the members of the Pisa parliament, he handed over the golden sword and seal that symbolized the supreme power of Pisa, and finally took off his fuchsia robe and gently covered Estelles, who was held in Alexander's arms.

Tomneo will live with his wife in a villa not far from Pisa, which was originally his family's property, and this huge two-story villa with nearly 20 rooms will become his future life, and the price of this comfortable life is to say goodbye to the power of Pisa.

Alexander wasn't worried that Tomneo would continue to do bad things for him, because the man was not qualified to make trouble in the first place.

Now he has completely lost everything, and Alexander does not mind paying him an extra annuity.

Despite telling Tomneo that Pisa was important to him beyond his imagination, Alexandre had to leave, and the news from Montina was not very good, or perhaps he had been in Pisa for so long that some thought he didn't seem to care so much about Montina.

Gompati had reported to him when he came, but Alexander was a little surprised that someone would be so eager to test his patience.

But this time things seemed a little complicated, or rather unexpected, at least when Alexander got the news, the first thing Alexander thought about was whether his future father-in-law finally couldn't bear his actions.

The sudden entry of a Genoese army into Romagna without any means of notice was enough to attract everyone's attention, but it was surprising that the army was still marching towards Montina without concealment.

Gompati had already mentioned in his report to Alexandria that the Genoese seemed to be suddenly much more active than before, and now that he heard the news, Alexander had to decide to send someone back to Rome, and he needed to know from old Rovere what the Genoese wanted to do.

Offending one old man was already a terrible thing, and if two were offended together, Alexander thought he didn't have the ability to deal with it at the same time.

So Ulliu, at the same time that Alexander left Pisa and rushed back to Montina, rushed to Rome with his letter to the cardinal, and at the same time Alexander sent an urgent order to Ofleuil, who remained in Montina.

The order was brief, with only one sentence: "Defend Montina and wait for me to return." ”

The Courier was an experienced hunter who was ordered to destroy the Emersion in the event of a possible encounter, and galloped away in the direction of Montina.

Looking at the back of the messenger in the distance, Alexander wondered in his heart what this sudden appearance of the Genoese army meant.

To be sure, they're not here for pizza.

Alexander dared to formally seize power from Tomneo at this time, because he knew that the other city-states would not make a big deal about Pisa.

Now everyone's attention should be on Rome, or rather in France.

Charlie's death was too sudden, but it was a relief for many.

Although Alexander was not in Rome at the time, he could imagine how happy the Roman nobles would be when they heard the news of Charles' death.

It was certain that the night was full of revelry, and the people were glad that a great enemy had ceased to threaten them at all, and for this, even as enemies, they sincerely wished that the King of France would go to heaven and enjoy glory, and that they would not want to see him alive and threaten them all.

However, this joy probably did not last long, and the Duke of Orleans' succession to the throne should have made them aware that after just sending away a scourge, they might have another more terrible and difficult enemy to deal with.

The city-states of Italy as a whole were now focused on France, especially Milan and Naples.

As the culprits who introduced the French to Italy in the first place, the Sforza family was not embarrassed by the other city-states, or indeed if they had been in Sforza's situation at the time, they would have done the same.

And later, Sforza's move to deal with the French almost all his family money also made people not criticize him too much, just think that if the new king really wants to invade again, then Milan will undoubtedly be the first target, and the Sforza family can't help but worry about the crisis they may face.

However, it was not Sforza in Milan who was really worried, but Frederick in the Kingdom of Naples, far south.

When the French accepted Milan's invitation to invade Italy, the first thing they did was not to quickly march through Milan to the Italian hinterland, but to send their fleet along the western coast of the Mediterranean Sea and transport a large number of troops directly to Naples to land!

And then Charlie, having announced a specious claim to power, swallowed the whole of Naples in one gulp!

In a matter of years, the royal family of Naples changed monarchs, including Alfonso II, who had been regarded by many as a wise heir, and was so frightened that he hid in the monastery as soon as he took the crown from his father, and then threw the mess to his son.

This nightmare has only passed for less than 2 years.

This was not a good experience for Frederick, the current king of Naples, who had taken advantage of the turmoil to take the throne from his nephew, but now that the French seemed to be menacing, Frederick could not help but tremble again.

In such a situation, Alexander was very skeptical about how many people would come out for the pizza incident.

Whether it was Milan, Venice, Naples, or even the German princes in the far north and the emperor in Vienna, all eyes were on Rome.

It is said that the envoy of the new king has now arrived at the Vatican, and his purpose is nominally to ask the Pope to personally go to Paris to preside over the coronation of the King of France, but in fact it is supposed to be to convey the news of the future foreign and military policy of the Duke of Orleans, who will succeed to the throne.

What kind of aims and intentions the French had for the whole peninsula should be seen from Ficher's visit to Rome.

Alexander knew better than anyone what Louis XII wanted in the future, but he also knew that the king was destined not to get what he wanted, and that neither he nor his heir would be locked in endless wars because of his attachment to Italy.

This would have been a good thing for Alexander, because it created so many opportunities for him that he could even maneuver between several forces if he wanted to, after all, knowing in advance what was going to happen and what the final outcome would be enough to bring him countless benefits.

But now the unexpected actions of the Genoese reminded him that although he knew what was coming, the same thing seemed to be slowly beginning to take place in the future as his power grew and his influence intensified.

What were the Genoese people doing at this time?

Alexander thought about it and felt a little headache, he could remember a lot of important things that had happened, but he couldn't remember too many details that were too scattered, such as because the Genoese sent troops because they had done so in history, or because of his domination of Montina and changed reality?

Alexander hoped that Ulliu would arrive in Rome as soon as possible and bring him a reply, even if the news was not possible, but he needed to know at least the attitude of the Rovere family on the matter.

If old Rovere had an ambiguous attitude on this matter, Alexander would have to consider whether to make some preparations in advance.

His mind flashed through Barenti's figure, and when he thought about it, it seemed that they hadn't really gotten along since the engagement, or that they had known from the beginning that the engagement was nothing more than an appendage to a temporary political alliance, and that everything depended on what would happen to the Count of Mordillo.

Political marriages are commonplace, and they will not change even after centuries, and even if a person is too infatuated with the other party in the marriage, it can be seen as inexplicable and even insane.

Alexander remembered his "cousin" Juana, whom he had never met until now.

She should still be in the Low Countries with her husband, Duke of Vienna and Governor of the Netherlands, the pretty Philip, but soon with the sudden death of her only brother Juan, Juan, Juana will return home as the only descendant of Queen Isabella of Castile and King Ferdinand of Aragon.

Alexander thought it would be strange to let others know what he was thinking, given that he seemed to be stuck in Romagna and worried about the Iberian Peninsula.

However, Alexander knew very well that the things were not far from each other, and even inextricably linked in many cases.

The imminent French invasion of Italy would undoubtedly lead to the intervention of Aragon and the Holy Roman Empire.

Alexander remembered that Gonzalo had left with the enthusiasm of preparing to train an invincible army, and that when he reappeared, he would probably have the opportunity to see his great phalanx that was about to shake the world.

As the governor of the Netherlands, Philip should have noticed some clues at the beginning of the year when he suffered a setback in Amsterdam.

So if only the French could make some trouble for that Philippe at this time.

It's just that the idea was good, but now the Genoese suddenly entered Romagna.

Leading that army was none other than Cardino, who had fought with him against the Venetians in the town of Oral.

Now he was menacing, so that Alexander had to be cautious.

And because of the strange behavior of the Genoese, Alexander couldn't help but be a little worried about the Genoese who served in his army.

The reason for recruiting the Genoese was to consider that the Agri musketeers needed to have a support class that could hold out on the battlefield when fighting a strong enemy, and the courage of the Genoese was obvious.

But now that he was suddenly confronted with an army from Genoa proper, Alexander had to reconsider how to deal with the situation.

It was not very far from Pisa to Montina, and since Alexandre became the Count of Montina, a lot of effort has been put into improving the transportation between the two places.

Merchants travelling from Montina to Pisa had to pay a road tax, albeit a small one.

This caused some dissatisfaction among the merchants, and some even preferred to take a detour in order to avoid this road tax.

Fortunately, the tax will be rebated in the form of a preferential subsidy in subsequent exchange transactions, and because the merchants who pay the road tax will be given the right of first refusal, the merchants will soon acquiesce to this method of paying the tax, which will actually eventually pass the fee on to the buyer.

But Alexander, who had the money, spent it immediately, and not only that, but he also managed to cotogether some money from other places, and after some setbacks, he finally built the road from Pisa to Montina.

It's just that the project obviously wasn't going to be completed so quickly, and looking at just trying to fill in the potholes along the original road, or simply clearing the overgrown weeds of the road surface, Alexander knew that the first road he built after this era might not be like it until a long time later.

But even that was enough to surprise Lucrechia.

Instead of keeping Lucrezia in Pisa, Alexander took her with him, not because he couldn't trust her, but because he wanted to prepare for the future.

Lucrezia didn't know what Alexander was planning, or rather, no one knew what he was thinking.

Although the status of the heir to Pisa seems to be noble enough, Alexander wants his eldest daughter to have a more noble status and title.

Perhaps, it is really possible that such an identity will become a step forward in the future to claim the crown of Lombardy.

Lucrezia was proud, but not because of herself, but because of Alexander.

As a member of the Borgia family, Lucrezia was no stranger to art, and she had seen many artists who had visited her father and received help, which made her feel that her family was noble.

But even so, she knew that this nobility was at best maintained on the love and appreciation of the lavish palace of art.

It would be difficult for the Borgias to be concerned about improving transportation in a certain place or building a bridge to make it easy for people to pass.

The Borgias don't bother with such a thing.

It was clear that Alexander was not such a person, he cared more about the territory and even the convenience of people's transportation, which made Lucrezia feel that her man was simply a benevolent ruler, and perhaps a just King Solomon, and at this moment she even felt that maybe her father was not as good as Alexander in some aspects.

Although the Genoese had entered Romagna and seemed to be in a tendency to press on Montina, they were not very fast, and Alexander guessed what they were waiting for, perhaps waiting for old Rovere to send someone.

Almost half of the soldiers recruited from Genoa had already reached Montina, which made Ofleiil uneasy at Montina, who feared that the Genoese would unite with the native army, if then things would be completely out of control.

So Ofreil reported to him in a letter sent to Alexander that he had placed the Genoese soldiers in a camp some distance from the castle of Montina, in order to prevent them from joining forces.

At the same time, in the letter, Oflaiyi sincerely praised Gompati's previous efforts, and for nearly half a year, Gompati actually cobbled together a batch of guns for Montina, although the styles were mixed, but all of them could still use all kinds of artillery.

While some of them are questionable how powerful they will be, or if they don't even know if they will be able to start, the castle of Montina will be able to rely on these weapons for at least some time to come.

However, although Ofleiyi seemed to be relaxed in his letter, Alexander still sensed the faint worry of the marching captain in it.

Alexander knew that old Rovere was the key at this time, but for various reasons, he could not go to Rome in person to ask old Rovere what was going on.

And the next afternoon, just as Montina's army was preparing to cross the tributaries of the Arno River, an unexpected messenger found Alexander's troops.

Cargino's letter was written tactfully and politely, but his intentions were unmistakable and unambiguous.

Calgino demanded that Alexander's army withdraw from the castle of Montina within two days, and that he must ensure that his army "would not carry out any action that would cause a misunderstanding between the two sides" when the Genoese army took over Montina.

Such a letter naturally provoked a strong reaction among Montina's army, and when they heard about the letter, many of the Agri angrily made a gesture of shooting at the sky.

Even the Bohemian cavalry, who cared only about killings and booty, booed discontentedly.

Some of them also deliberately kept brushing their knives on the path through which the messenger passed, while making a sharp whistle.

The messenger departed quickly, or was frightened by the bohemians, and Alexander looked at the letter repeatedly and fell into deep thought.

Lucrezia wanted to comfort Alexander, but didn't know what to say.

She knew where she was going, but it was all the more embarrassing.

She didn't even understand why Alexander had let the mother and daughter go to Montina, which was his fiancée's fiancée.

"Looks like we'll have to wait for news from Uliu." Alexander finally said this, and he put the letter away very carefully, but before the envelope was folded, he could not help but think a little when he looked at the words that began on the line.

"In the name of the governor appointed by the Assembly of the Genoese and the first citizen in the service of the city......"

"What happened in Genoa?" Looking at that sentence, Alexander muttered to himself.

In front of a villa in the middle of Rome, a sweat-stained Moorish man hurried his horse, and when he stopped in front of the villa, he unexpectedly saw a familiar shadow standing in the doorway.

This gave the Moors the illusion that they were waiting for him.

"Miss, I have sent a letter to the Cardinal on the orders of my lord." Uliu jumped down from his horse and bowed before Barondi.

"Is that you?" Barondi seemed a little surprised, but she quickly nodded, "According to my father's speculation, you should also get the news, which is why Alexander sent you." ”

"News, what news?" Uliu asked, somewhat stunned.

"Don't you know," Barendi said with a slight stunned look at Ulliu, "the Cargino family has bought the title of governor of Genoa. ”
