For Sardinia, an orphan submerged in the Tyrrhenian Sea, it has been neglected for centuries by the surrounding countries, with the exception of Aragon. But the situation is different for the twins who are separated by a strait in the north of Sardinia.

Corsica. In the second year after the robbery of Aragon from the Republic of Genoa, except for the construction of the religious school for the promotion of Ferdinand's personality cult, His Majesty the King has not yet used the magic powers of the Traveler, and the "miracle" of Sardinia has not appeared on Corsica.

Because, after a series of investigations, Ferdinand unfortunately proved a situation, this island is too leaky!

When it comes to the exodus from the Mediterranean, a fairly classic example is Greece. The piety of the Greek islands, as the "three domestic slaves", almost plummeted during the Age of Discovery, and countless Greeks served the seafaring and military conquests of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and many of them did so voluntarily. At the same time, many Greek pacifists/Christians went to sea to become pirates, forming pirate dens large and small on the coast of North Africa. For example, Barbarossa, the "redbeard" who gave the Spanish Empire a headache, occupied the island of Djerba and invaded the Spanish garrison in North Africa.

Of course, under Ferdinand's manipulation, poor Tunisia had ceded large territories, including Lagulet, Djerba, Tripolitania, and other places, in order to win the favor of Aragon. Therefore, it is not known whether Redbeard can achieve historical achievements and lead to the rise of Berber pirate power. Ferdinand's hope was that it would be better not to wait until Spain preemptively ruled Northwest Africa, and let those guys harass Venice and the Knights Hospitaller in the Eastern Mediterranean, and not to break into the Tyrrhenian Sea. Of course, this may need to be ensured after the Ottoman Sultan has been taught a lesson.

All this is regrettable, but it is also very understandable, God cannot exchange it for wheat, man must live.

And at present, the exodus of one island of Corsica surpasses the exodus of the whole of Greece!

The land is small and windy, and it is talking about places like Bay and Corsica, and the former is far worse than the latter.

If Sardinia is "impermeable Sardinia", then the situation in Corsica is completely reversed – a "leaky sieve everywhere"......

The main culprit is nature, Corsica is a poor, overpopulated island and mountainous terrain, where mountain people have nowhere to earn a living and scatter in all directions. Wherever bread can be found, they go.

The other ones who have to bear the blame are the Genoese - this pot is not wronged at all -

In Sardinia, Ferdinand's primary base, a rough household count shows that about one tenth of Sardinian peasants are from Corsica, a much higher proportion of free peasants, and a significant number of Corsicans have opened shops or become fishermen on Sardinia. They did a good job, and many made small fortunes. Unlike other Corsicans who moved out of the islands, they migrated not because of barren land and output, but because of the exorbitant taxes, corruption, punishment and extortion of the Genoese rulers...... All these kinds of persecution. In the eyes of the Corsicans, the Genoese were, as previously said, the messengers of Satan.

And the problem did not stop there, when Nidhogg made a detailed investigation of the situation of the Corsicans, when Ferdinand recalled the dusty historical materials in his mind, when he looked through the materials, letters and dossiers of the time, Ferdinand was surprised to find that the Corsicans were by no means the only ones who gave birth to such an outstanding dwarf as Napoleon, and their influence and footprints had traveled all over the Mediterranean.

Corsican islanders have traveled from their brother island of Sardinia in the south to fever-stricken Italy, where they dare to reclaim even the marshes that are littered with the corpses of malaria patients. Not to mention the Tuscany/Florentine settlers and the new immigrants to Venice, all of whom were played by Corsicans. The Corsicans traveled to the ports of the Tiber in Rome to the Mediterranean coasts of Livorno, Civitavecchia and Ragusa, where they sold their livestock – the supply was so unstable that every few years the island's economy collapsed, starved to death, and forced many away.

In addition, the Ottoman Turkish Empire could also open its doors to the Corsicans, after all, as the old saying goes, "God can't take it for food – by Kulen 1911".

The Corsicans were running around like this, and it was undoubtedly easy to reveal the secrets of Ferdinand's development base. In particular, some of the movements of Corsicans are particularly sensitive. For example, as mentioned above, many Corsicans went to Sardinia, and the secrets of Sardinia must not be revealed to outsiders! Fortunately, this problem is relatively easy to solve, because most of the people who come to Sardinia are peasants, they have settled, and Sardinia has established a strict control system, and the farmers and fishermen are all contract workers of His Majesty King Ferdinand, and even the small traders cannot escape the clutches of the authoritarian dictatorship. Isaac Abravanel, Sisneros and others built Sardinia into such a fortified fortress, and Sisneros is now leading the Ministry of Supervision to clean up the atmosphere in Sicily.

Ferdinand, who found himself increasingly fond of using the talents of Isabella's court, was reminded of the history books that "from the 16th century onwards, Castilian officials gradually replaced Aragonese officials in the administration of the Mediterranean and Italian possessions." Castile was indeed very attractive, much more talented than Aragon, and even the original historical Ferdinand could not refuse the excellent officials of Isabella's court to manage Aragon's possessions. Even the novels and plays of the Aragonese writers on Ferdinand's desk are now written in Castilian......

What's even more exaggerated is that the Catholic saints of Castile, who replaced the original saints of Catalonia, are now being worshipped by the Catalan peasants - Nima, what Aragon struggled for decades and fought a brutal civil war failed to do, Castile did it? The power of that St. Isidore is truly incredible! Even Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, is now under the influence of Castilian. In general, the Castilian language spread throughout the Iberian Peninsula.

There are always so many surprises and surprises in the age of entrepreneurs. Ferdinand thought that forging the unification of Spain was a very difficult task, but now it seems that it may not be as difficult as imagined. The Spanish rulers of this era had a good deck of cards in their hands, just the language, and if the momentum continued, maybe the day they took Portugal, the whole of the Iberian Peninsula would naturally adopt a unified Spanish language (of course, this does not mean that Ferdinand simply asked Aragon to abandon the treatment and expand the ranks of good bureaucrats in Aragon). Charles V and Philip II played bad cards, and it seems that it is not a pity that Prince Charles did not "cross" for 1516, and the additional HRE crown and responsibilities were flashy, and the foundation was shaken by that time.

It's not too late to build a strong foundation, for example, to clean up the sieve-like island of Corsica......
