Chapter 1576: Digging a Pit and Ambush
In fact, most of the grievances of that year were caused by Ferdinand II himself. Ferdinand II had two illegitimate children before he married Isabella I.
It's just that Isabella I didn't know it at the beginning, and she was carried away by love, so she married this playboy without hesitation. It was not until after marriage that Isabella I saw the essence of Ferdinand II. Therefore, later Isabella I was not so enthusiastic about Ferdinand II.
Then, because they had to run their respective countries, the two lived apart for a long time. And because Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba was honest and loyal, and sometimes Isabella I would complain to him. And Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba was a good listener and listened quietly to the Queen's complaints. When it comes to sad places, the queen sometimes even hugs Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba burst into tears.
Apparently, there were people in Toledo's court who had seen such a scene from afar. So, Queen Isabella fornicated with Gonzalo. Morality. Rumors of Cordoba arose.
When Ferdinand II learned about it, he was naturally furious. Instead of reflecting on his prodigalities, he blamed Gonzalo for the discord. Morality. Córdoba head. Then, the two got married.
Naturally, Ferdinand II made the main mistake. But Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba also has a certain responsibility, and his responsibility is that he is too handsome, and he is not married......
Handsome and lingering around the queen who has left her husband all day long, it is no wonder that Ferdinand II misunderstood. If he were ugly, there wouldn't be so much of a problem. In addition, this guy is too keen on military affairs, and he actually forgot to find a daughter-in-law. His irresponsible earl father didn't help Zhang Luo either. Then, this guy became a golden bachelor......
A handsome golden bachelor hangs around his wife all day long, but he is not there yet...... Not to mention that Ferdinand II was small-minded, it was easy to think too much about a normal man......
Therefore, most of the grievances between the two are blamed on Ferdinand II, Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba itself has a certain responsibility.
……
Although he knew that Ferdinand II had a deep misunderstanding with himself, Gonzalo. Morality. Cordoba did not hesitate to accept the order, intending to leave Morocco and go to Sicily to take over the army.
But before leaving Fez, his men reported that they had caught a spy sent by the remnants of the Wattas dynasty and were asking about Gonzalo. Morality. News that Córdoba is leaving.
Also Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba is so famous that since he came to Morocco with 10,000 small elected strong men, as well as some officers and 1,500 musketeers, the remnants of the Wattas dynasty and the Saad tribe who had been constantly harassing northern Morocco retreated tacitly and no longer came to northern Morocco to harass from time to time.
Mainly, the Moroccans were previously killed by Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba was scared, a little scared of him. The name of the man, the shadow of the tree, Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba is a famous player in Europe, and it is also very famous in Morocco. When I heard that he was coming, I directly frightened the remnants of the Wattas Dynasty and the Saad tribe into sending troops to the north to attack and disturb him.
And Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba didn't have time to pay attention to them for the time being, because he was busy training the 10,000 recruits. According to the process of training recruits who came from the Ma Lin Army Middle School many years ago, this batch of recruits will have to train for at least three months before they can basically form combat effectiveness.
And now, three months are not yet complete, Gonzalo. Morality. Naturally, Córdoba did not have the energy to send troops against the Moroccan Resistance.
However, before he could train his soldiers, an order came, and he had to interrupt the training of the new recruits and prepare to leave Morocco for Sicily.
However, the spy in front of him gave Gonzalo . Morality. Córdoba is a great inspiration......
……
Originally, Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba was going to leave Fez quietly and go to Sicily. But he didn't expect that the Moroccan resistance forces were so concerned about his whereabouts and sent spies to investigate......
From this, Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba deduced that once he left Fez, the remnants of the Moroccan Vattas dynasty and the Saad tribe would definitely make a comeback, even attacking important cities like Fez. After all, Fez was once the capital of the Wattas dynasty......
So, Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba decided to set up a trap to lure the Moroccan resistance into it......
……
"Salvaro, I've given you a mission - send someone to spread the word privately, saying that I will soon leave Fez and go to Italy!"
"Huh?" Adjutant Salvaro looked confused......
"My lord, this matter is still a secret, right? If the enemy finds out, he will definitely come back to attack Fez! Savarro advised.
Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba raised an eyebrow and said:
"I know, but I'm just going to let the Moroccans know the news and come and lay siege to the city of Fez!"
Salvaro asked as if he didn't understand:
"So what are we going to do next?"
"Let's spread the word first!"
……
And at the time of Savaro's walk around the news, Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba, on the other hand, forcibly gathered all the Moroccan youths in the city of Fez and trained them in their ability to stand in line......
The city of Fes was originally the former capital of the Wattas dynasty in Morocco, so it has a large population. Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba easily recruited tens of thousands of local youths and trained them in the city's large camps. In just a few days, these tens of thousands of Moroccan boys have walked a little decently.
So, 10 days later, to the legendary "Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba left", and a large team of more than 10,000 people walked out of the north gate of the city of Fez. And at the forefront, it is the legendary Spanish No. 1 Gonzalo. Morality. Cordoba......
And after the army marched out of the city, far away, there was always a group of local Moroccan herders, who always followed them on horseback, but not too close. But if these people try to get closer to reconnoitre, they will be attacked by Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba led the attack and interception of one of the few hundred cavalry.
But these Moroccan spies did not know, if they had the opportunity to observe it closely, they would find that this so-called "Spanish army" was actually disguised by Moroccan youths in the city, not the real army. It's just that because it's far away, those spies can't see clearly. Otherwise, it would never be recognized as "Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba has already left with 10,000 troops" this false intelligence......
That night, Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba asked the adjutant Salvaro to continue to lead tens of thousands of more than 10,000 former Fez citizens pretending to be regular troops, and continued to advance with great fanfare towards the port city of Melilla in the northeast.
And Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba himself, on the other hand, quietly led hundreds of cavalry of his cronies, wrapped the horse's hooves in wool, and put a simple mask on the horse's mouth to avoid alarming others in the middle of the night. Then, the group quietly returned to the city of Fez during the night, ready to pit the remnants of the Moroccan Wattas dynasty......
