"It's incredible!"

"It's incredible!"

Not to mention the other Spanish soldiers, it was Gonzalo, who personally led it all. Morality. Córdoba was also shocked. In this ambush battle, the more than 10,000 Spanish troops under his command, mainly recruits, actually relied on the terrain advantage, and the fierce Moroccan cavalry had no ability to fight back. In the end, only 17 Spanish soldiers were killed and more than 70 wounded.

These casualties, except for the 12 war dead who were forcibly killed by Moroccan masters who broke through into the alley, the rest of the casualties were basically killed and injured by Moroccan soldiers when they picked up the bricks and stones on the street and fought back, which was purely bad luck.

However, the result was 6,850 enemy cavalry captured, 3,800 killed and 4,350 wounded......

With such a high battle loss ratio, Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba's generation of celebrities also couldn't keep their mouths shut in surprise.

"No wonder Grand Duke Marin has always been keen on intrigues! It turns out that the effect is so powerful that it feels ...... So cool! ”

The seed of a demon is in the righteous gentleman Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba's heart sprouted......

Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba knew very well that Marin, as the king of a country, often engaged in intrigues and tricks, which might ruin his reputation. But he was different, he was a Spanish courtier and didn't need a perfect reputation. His greatest role in the Kingdom of Spain was to win battles, not to gain a good reputation as a gentleman. For generals, victory is everything, and nothing else matters.

After figuring it all out, Gonzalo. Morality. Cordoba seemed to have some kind of confinement in his heart opened, and a little demon escaped on its own......

"Well, now the French are strong. It seems that I have to use a little unconventional means......" When boarding the ship to Sicily, Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba thought.

……

And right here in Gonzalo. Morality. When Córdoba boarded the ship to Sicily, Louis XII was drinking with his men in Naples.

Louis XII certainly understood that the Spaniards would not rest on their laurels. No, the proposal put forward by the representative sent to Spain to buy the Kingdom of Naples with money was rejected by the other side, and it was not possible to give any amount of money. Therefore, this battle will be fought in the future.

However, if he doesn't leave, he won't be able to do it. He was the king of a country, and he had been in Italy for too long. Now, there are already signs of instability within the Kingdom of France. Without him going back to town, Queen Anne couldn't suppress those monkeys at all.

And that's that two days ago John. Raffi reminded him that the deadline for marriage given by King Edward of England was not far off, 1515. There is still more than a year to go, and if France has not given birth to a prince, the marriage with the English princess Margaret will be annulled. After all, Edward's words also made sense, his daughter could not wait indefinitely for France to give birth to a new prince.

A woman's time is limited, and it is impossible to wait for her little husband to grow up slowly. In particular, this era is not the descendant of medically developed children. In this era, it is dangerous for a woman to have a child after the age of 30, and having a child after the age of 40 is tantamount to suicide. Therefore, a woman cannot marry a man who is much younger than herself. Otherwise, the optimal age for childbearing will be missed.

So, Louis XII had to go back. Not only to stabilize the domestic situation, but also to be able to toss a prince out.

The word "toss" is really not misplaced, after all, Louis XII was 52 years old. At this age, among the European aristocracy of this era, it is not a short life, and he may die one day. As for Queen Anne, although much younger, she is also 37 years old. Men may not be much at this age, but when women reach this age, giving birth to children is definitely fatal!

But Louis XII couldn't care so much, anyway, he didn't have too deep feelings for Queen Anne. At the beginning, the reason why he abandoned his fiancée Jeanne of France and married Anne of Brittany instead was not for any bullshit love, but to ensure that the Duchy of Brittany would not be divided from France. After all, if Anne remarried, the Duchy of Brittany would split from France. If it fell into the hands of Maximilian I, it would be even worse.

Therefore, the marriage between Louis XII and Queen Anne was originally a marriage of political interests, and there was no emotion at all. As for whether Queen Anne's pregnancy at the age of 37 was dangerous, Louis XII would not care, he only needed a male heir. Even, if Queen Anne were to die in danger, she might have been happy. Originally, after the death of Queen Anne of Brittany, Louis XII turned around and married Henry VII's daughter, Marie. Tudor, who died in disgrace at Mary's death. Tudor's belly ......

Of course, this is not to say that Louis XII was an old pervert, but because a male heir was too important to the European monarchs of this era.

Similar to Louis XII was King Ferdinand II of Aragon. Ferdinand II could hold the body of Prince Juan, who may have contracted tuberculosis, and weep bitterly, or he could imprison his poor mad daughter, "Juana the Mad Woman", just to obtain the Regency of Castile......

In short, the change of dynasties of European royal families can also be said to be a history of absolute heirs - if a king does not give birth to a son, the dynasty may have to change dynasties......

And the contemporaneous Eastern countries did not have this trouble, who called Europe can only monogamy, while the emperors of the East can have multiple wives. This is not to say that the emperors of the East are more immoral, but that the Eastern countries attach more importance to their children.

There is an interesting fact that the higher the status of women, the lower the fertility rate. In later generations, in regions like the Middle East and Africa, where women have no status, children are born without money. In China in the 21st century, the status of women has been higher, but the fertility rate has been greatly reduced...... In the 20th century, when the remnants of feudal ideology were serious, the fertility rate in China was still very high......

In ancient Europe, the status of women was much higher than in the East and the Middle East. But it also caused a bad consequence - the European monarchs who only married one wife and did not let the divorced monarchs become extinct at every turn......

In the Ming Dynasty at the same time, only Emperor Zhu Youji, who only married one wife, finally made a fuss after giving birth to Hu Lai's son Zhengde. Of course, there is also a carpenter emperor Zhu Youxiao who died young, because he died early and the struggle in the palace was fierce, he did not leave an heir.

……

At this time, Louis XII was actually close to madness. In the previous war, he had forgotten about this stubble for the time being. One by John. Raffi reminded him, and he immediately remembered that he didn't have a son yet!

So, after arranging the defense of the Kingdom of Naples, he decided to return home. He had to get the queen in the first place about having no sons......

And John. The reason why Raffi made this opinion was also requested by Marin - how could Louis XII die on the belly of a woman if he was not allowed to return to work hard, as in the original history?

Louis XII was still relatively shrewd and not very easy to deal with. Therefore, Marin hopes that he will die sooner than the original history.

As for his heir, François I, although the historical evaluation is good, Marin, who has read history, knows - this thing was reckless and impulsive in his youth. Otherwise, he would not have been captured by Charles V......

Moreover, a new king comes to power, without roots, and it takes years to establish his prestige. And Marin, it took precisely those years to complete the annexation of England. Therefore, Marin wanted Louis XII to die quickly, preferably on the woman's belly, as in the original history. In this way, with a few years of effort, he had time to plan England. If this old man doesn't die, when he annexes England, this old man may send troops to the North Sea Country to make trouble and interfere with his annexation of England.

So, Marin secretly instructed John to . Lafite, reminding Louis XII that it's time to go back and make villains with the queen. Only when you go back to make a villain can you die on a woman's belly......
