PS: Recently, the news has been reporting that there is a meeting! This is a major event of the country, as the saying goes, bad things don't go abroad, good things spread to the earth, and recently, there is no shortage of people discussing this matter in the book review area of modern and modern historical novels. The author is also excited, we must also keep up with the pace of the times, especially the modern history through the novel, the content of the writing must keep pace with the times, one must reflect the social reality, and the other must highlight the spirit of the times. And it has to be reasonable, it just so happens that the content of this book also reaches the critical moment when the protagonist begins political reform, and the time and place are favorable......

In addition, the unheard of author now knows that it has long been not a secret inside information, it was the editor who sent me the warning by mistake - domestic, in principle (?) Do not exceed 1895, more than please elaborate on the attitude towards the party, it is not allowed to organize political forces alone.

As for foreign countries, I don't know and don't want to know...... It seems that the way of the Bolsheviks cannot be blocked. But now is the time to die, and who cares why Ulyanov's wife and lover can get along amicably? For Ni Er next door, it is just a problem that two or three cups of poisoned milk can solve......

Corsica is shrouded in tension, while Sicily is a chaotic scene.

Sicily, which is also the Kingdom of Sicily, of course does not have any centrifugal tendencies, well, it is not so much that there are no centrifugal tendencies, but that the tendencies of the people here are not important at all.

Who cares about Italian tendencies and cultural differences? Remember, when I say Confederation, I subconsciously exclude your independence.

The Sicilians, except for the Sicilian Vespers incident that year, and the big one with Naples, who are also Italians, have never shown any integrity and character.

When the queen of Sicily was married to a domestic minister, she married the prince of Aragon, complained to her husband, and the prince led an Aragonese army to Sicily to sweep away the ministers, and then there was a bitter drama (which was also the inspiration for Ferdinand to seek Flemish) - the wife died in front of her husband, and the prince died in front of the king of Aragon, so the king of Aragon took the crown in tears......

By the end of the 15th century, Sicily had become the most corrupt and absurd part of Italy, and the Sicilians seemed to have condensed the inferiority of the entire Italian nation.

After Columbus returned to Barcelona in 1493, syphilis began to spread, and the first outbreak was in Sicily, where most of the Aragon royal family contracted syphilis, and even Ferdinand may have contracted it. The two and a half inner court systems of the Aragonese kings, some of the Castilian courtiers and the Aragon courtiers were used for office, and the Sicilian courtiers were used for flattery and amusement.

The performance of the Sicilian courtiers during this period is rarely evaluated in the relevant history books of the original (even for the current Ferdinand): "coquettish".

By the time the Italian War broke out, none of the courtiers of the Kingdom of Sicily who had not suffered from syphilis were probably "embarrassed" to say that they were Sicilian courtiers! It was not until Ferdinand himself came to the island and closed down all the brothels in Sicily that the chaos was subsided.

However, for high-ranking courtiers, a mere brothel was obviously not an indispensable option, and it was a common skill to sneak into the house of a noblewoman or widow in the middle of the night and deliver a forgiveness cap.

Emphasizing this is inconsistent with Ferdinand's overall concern as a king, but it can be seen from this chaos that the life of Sicilian courtiers and officials was rotten, and it affected many nobles, which in turn bred corruption.

Corruption is often followed by the word incompetence. You know, Richelieu is not for everyone.

The courtiers and officials of the Kingdom of Sicily, although they governed a fertile "Golden Basin", many of them obviously could not stand the test, and the Castilian army, which was the main force of the southern battlefield against France, had not been supplied in Sicily is clear evidence.

Wasn't Ferdinand very angry at the time? However, his measures were only to allocate food and supplies from Sardinia, and did not make any thunderous attacks on the inner court and local officials of the Kingdom of Sicily. Ferdinand recorded all these glorious deeds of Sicily in his little black notebook!

Good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil.

It's not that you don't report it, the time has not come.

In the past, stability was maintained, and now it is a heavy punch.

Hu is also a learner, passing the torch from generation to generation.

Now, on this ground, those people are being pulled down in Sicily and raised to the institutional level, taking the first step towards the reform of the civil service.

And the one who served as the "minister of the imperial mission" was the ascetic Sisneros, who said that he was an ascetic and that there was nothing wrong with him, and that he still maintained a life of asceticism. This was not a self-reliance, but a way of presence—at least for Sisneros, who in 1509 led his army to conquer Oran at the age of 73 – when King Ferdinand II desperately wanted him to be shrouded in horse-leather! If he had studied Rome in his daily life, the archbishop would have been able to see God as he really was.

Sisneseros, as a key promotion of Ferdinand back then, he is now in charge of too many things - the administration of Sardinia government, the Niderhog intelligence organization, the Sicilian minister; There are also too many secrets to know - flintlock pistols, Spanish phalanxes, farming techniques. If such a person is not sure that his faith and loyalty have reached the point of indestructibility, he will most likely end up as a dead body.

Ferdinand could not help but feel a deep sadness about this. During the reign of Queen Isabella and the original Ferdinand II, Spain was a period of political talent, not only in terms of ability, but also in faith and loyalty, regardless of the political situation.

Cortés and Pizarro may not be as capable as Abravanel, Cisneros, and Gonzalo, and they are even more courageous and able to fight to the death in desperate situations, but Ferdinand could not trust them so many of his secrets and responsibilities as he does now, and can say that it is because he "believes in their faith and loyalty".

The need for reliable talent is becoming more and more urgent, and after the death of this generation of old builders twenty years later, how many trustworthy talents will Ferdinand have around him?

He was given some hope by the growing Nidhogg Intelligence Organization, which had formed one of Ferdinand's most loyal organizations, and that the training school was training both low-level spies and high-level intelligence officers. However, high-level intelligence officers are not helpful in government affairs, and Cisneros is not because he is talented, but because he is a political and military strategist and leads intelligence missions.

In view of the call of history and the mission of the times, Ferdinand, who was full of concern for the country and the people, formulated a plan to strengthen the construction of spiritual civilization, first of all, to open some religious schools on the island of Sardinia, and to appropriately integrate the name of the Catholic king he was about to obtain and his small work and meager contributions in the past, and to dedicate himself to the great cause of national education......

Now, the building of spiritual civilization will first be carried out in the Kingdom of Sicily. The sea of the western Mediterranean Sea is rippling, and the fleet of Sisneros is slowly approaching the harbor, this fleet is carrying 1,818 elite soldiers belonging to the discipline inspection and supervision system and the Sardinian civil service, who are full of love for the motherland and the people, and are full of ambition to devote themselves to the spiritual civilization and political construction of the Kingdom of Sicily......
