Juan III was young after all, and he couldn't suppress the noble councilors of the Kingdom of Castile. Mainly, there is a lack of prestige. In desperation, after consulting with his wife Margaret, the couple traveled to Zaragoza in a carriage overnight to seek help from their father, Ferdinand II.

Although Ferdinand II was not the king of the Kingdom of Castile, he had ruled the Kingdom of Castilla with Isabella I for a long time, and he must have more prestige than Juan III.

However, when they arrived in Zaragoza, the couple found out that there was also a disturbance on the part of the Kingdom of Aragon......

The French envoy, Baron Novara, was also a ruthless man, desperately beaten to death by the Spaniards, and provoked the wrath of the two Iberian kingdoms. So, on the way back to Toulouse, Novara went back singing in the carriage. And what he left behind in the two Spanish kingdoms was untold fury......

In Europe, the aristocracy was very particular about glory and dignity. Even old foxes like Ferdinand II and Maximilian I, even if they are shameless in private, but in terms of face, they care very much about honor.

If Novara had only expressed his disdain for Ferdinand II, Ferdinand II might have endured it for the sake of the bigger picture and blocked the news. However, this grandson is too immoral, and he ran to the gate of the noble council to openly provoke, and he also used Spanish, which is obviously afraid that everyone will not know......

In this way, Ferdinand II wanted to block the news, and he couldn't do it. And this era was the era of the feudal system of nobles and kings ruling the world together. For the nobles to fly angry, the king can't suppress it!

What to do? Order Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba's storming of the city of Naples was irrational. However, it seems that it is difficult to calm the anger of the nobles......

Father and son had been there for a long time, while Queen Margaret was there to look through the previous information. After reading the details of the French capture of the city of Naples, Queen Margaret suddenly smiled:

"Father, Juan, I have a way!"

"What's the solution?" The father and son asked in unison, their eyes full of surprise and anticipation.

"You see, this is the report of the French taking the city of Naples......"

Queen Margaret showed the battle report to father and son, and pointed to the information, saying:

"You see, this is the siege of the city of Naples by the French...... In order to avoid casualties during the attack, the French specially hired 22,000 Italian mercenaries who had originally served the Duke of Ludovico and used them to consume the ammunition of our defenders...... Even, they captured a lot of local young men on the way, pretending to be soldiers and rushed to the city, in order to consume our army's ammunition......"

"I wonder if we can also follow the example of the French, using the Italians as vanguards, attacking, and depleting enemy ammunition. In this way, we can not only consume the enemy's ammunition and avoid casualties of our army, but also give an explanation to the great nobles of the country......"

"Great idea!" Ferdinand II immediately slapped the table and shouted happily.

Then, the next day, Ferdinand II and Juan III jointly issued a public order ordering Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba fought bravely with the French "like a man......

But at the same time, they secretly sent spies to send a letter to Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba ordered him to get some Italian mercenaries or strong men to come over, let those Italians be cannon fodder, and launch a powerful but meaningless assault......

……

After receiving two orders with very different meanings, Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba immediately knew what to do. He sent 20,000 men out of 60,000 to the other cities of the Kingdom of Naples, capturing them and capturing the Italian mercenaries stationed there.

Soon, the weak-willed Italian mercenaries were captured by the Spanish army. And during this period, the French also tried to take advantage of the reduction of the Spanish army to launch a surprise attack. As a result, Gonzalo was as steady as a dog. Morality. Córdoba managed to repel it.

No matter how brave the French knights were, they could not break through the unskilled trenches with wooden stakes that Marin had made. And the artillery group that France is proud of, because the caliber is too small, and the small shells can't hit Gonzalo at all. Morality. Córdoba had his men build the low walls of the city.

Therefore, despite the superiority in numbers, the French could not defeat Gonzalo. Morality. The defense line of the 40,000-strong army of Córdoba. Even, lost a lot of elites in the attack. In desperation, the French had to retreat back into the city and wait for the other side to attack.

Soon, the remaining Italian mercenaries, who were originally used as cannon fodder by the French, were taken outside Naples by the Spaniards and forced to attack the city again as cannon fodder.

Now these Italian mercenaries quit and wanted to rebel against this tragic fate. As a result, a group of Italian mercenaries who took the lead in the resistance, "Thorn Head", were beaten into a sieve by the Spanish musketeers like Xu Wenqiang......

Seeing that the companions who led the rebellion turned into companions in a blood sieve under the rain of bullets from the Spaniards, the remaining Italian mercenaries could only succumb.

But the Italian mercenaries were obviously unwilling to be cannon fodder, so the leader of the Italian mercenaries, Pasto, stood up and asked Gonzalo to do so. Morality. Córdoba allowed him to go to the surrounding villages again to capture local youths to be used as cannon fodder and send them to death instead of him......

Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba didn't care about this, of course, but the Neapolitan generals in the Spanish army didn't do it. They all joined the army to serve Spain after Spain ruled the Kingdom of Naples. However, after all, they are all Neapolitans, and some of them are simply people from the countryside around the city of Naples, how can they tolerate watching the people of their hometown being used as cannon fodder to block bullets?

So a local general named Leonidas protested loudly:

"Since it's a death sentence, why don't you let the French go? We, the Neapolitans, now owe allegiance to the two Majesties of Spain, ask Lord Gonzalo not to neglect their lives! Because, they are also the people of the two Majestics! ”

Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba said in his heart, yes. We are not invaders of the Kingdom of Naples now, but defenders, and we really can't let the natives die. And let the French die instead of the natives...... Seems like a good idea......

It is ironic to use the means of the French against the French. However, the Spaniards liked it very much. After all, they will not be distressed by how many French people die.

So, Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba summoned Morientes, the commander of the fleet of the Kingdom of Aragon who was on standby on the docks, and gave him an order:

"You lead the fleet and thousands of men and horses to the southern coastal areas of France and capture the local strong men, I will be useful!"

……

Then, while the Spanish army was preparing, it waited for news from Morientes' side. It didn't take long for Morientes' fleet to escort two or three thousand French coastal peasants to the docks in the port of Naples.

"Hurry up, while you have time, let the local women sew a batch of clothes for them that resemble the Spanish military uniforms! You guys, go get some broken doors and use them as shields, and equip these French farmers. Then, let them go and climb the walls! ”
