Chapter 1765: Demanding conditions

While the North Sea nation was carrying out research on the vaccinia method in full swing, the Spanish side of Naples, Italy, had no sense of happiness at all. Because, their coach Gonzalo was punished by the pope.

Although only three years, but very terrible. Because, according to the canon, no person who is exterminated can interact with him, and other believers are not allowed to obey the command of the person who is exterminated. In other words, within three years, Gonzalo was not eligible to serve as the Spanish army coach.

However, after the previous defeat, the Spaniard realized that if he wanted to fight against the powerful France and expected others to fail, he had to rely on a famous general like Gonzalo.

Although smallpox temporarily forced the French back, the French army did not suffer much. As long as the smallpox epidemic is over, it will definitely make a comeback. By that time, who will lead the Spanish army against the French counterattack?

It is foreseeable that once the epidemic ends this year or next year, the French will definitely take advantage of Gonzalo's absence and launch a fierce counterattack. After all, the French cannot give up Naples' volcanic ash.

The Spanish government and the opposition were in a hurry, and even Ferdinand II, who had a holiday with Gonzalo, had to admit that only Gonzalo could lead the Spanish army to defeat the French.

At this time, Queen Castile, the daughter of Maximilian I, Margaret of Austria, suddenly suggested:

"Father, Juan (Juan III), I heard that the relationship between the Grand Duke Marin of the Beihai Kingdom and His Majesty the Pope is better. Let ’s ask him to mediate and help him with His Majesty the Pope? Do n’t say it can save us The penalty can be reduced to less than one year. Smallpox estimates that it will be difficult to end this year. We only need to allow General Gonzalo to end the penalty penalty next year, and just go out and hold the soldiers ... "

The father and son's eyes suddenly lighted up-yes, the man of Marin has always had a good relationship with His Majesty Pope Julius II. At first, it was Marin's army who escorted the Pope into the city of Rome. Ask him to come forward and make peace, there is a play ...

So, two generations of kings of Spain contacted Reid, the Ambassador of the North Sea State in Toledo, and asked Reed to contact Marin with his pigeons, and asked him to help mediate the matter.

After receiving the letters from the two kings of Spain, Marin decided for a long time and decided to help. Because, he did worry that Spain lost to France, which led to the strong rise of France.

The French heritage is extremely thick, they have a large population, many knights, and the number of war horses is also superior to Europe. Once the French have enough food, it is not a matter of pulling up a hundred thousand troops. Although Spain has money, the potential for civil war is not great. The main reason is that the knighthood as the backbone of the army is not strong enough.

No way, France is not only large in area, but also mostly in the plains. This gave the French monarch the capital to enlist the knights on a large scale, so that there were 10,000 or 20,000 French knights. It is estimated that there are tens of thousands of children of the Cavaliers who can fight on the horse.

It is only limited by the shortage of grain and grass supply, so each battle, France dispatched more than 10,000 knights. No matter how much, I can't afford it. The main thing is that Warhorse can eat food too!

If the food and grass problem is solved for them, it is estimated that the entire Western Europe will tremble under the iron hoof of France.

On the Spanish side, although the land area is not much smaller than that of France, most of the Tete is mountainous! The mountain is obviously not a knight ’s manor, so the Spanish knights have always been smaller. Moreover, due to the influence of the Moors who once ruled southern Spain, the Spanish knights were more like armies between plate armoured knights and light cavalry. .

Therefore, Malin preferred the Spaniards to occupy the Kingdom of Naples and then let the French attack. He naturally agreed to the requests of the two Spanish kings ...

……

So, Marin Flying Pigeon Biography, contacted the pope father-in-law far away in Rome. After receiving a letter from his son-in-law, Julius II thought twice and gave a reply.

He told Marin that it was impossible to forgive Gonzalo casually. After all, he is a pope, and he wants to save face. If the penalty is easily withdrawn, the pope's WeChat will be hit.

However, it can be modified. However, Spain and Gonzalo must make sufficient gestures to allow the Holy See to step down. Otherwise, casually reducing the penalty will inevitably make people underestimate the Holy See.

Therefore, Julius II told Marin that Gonzalo could learn the "Canosa Shame" of the Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV, who was exterminated, and came to the Holy See to ask him for forgiveness. In this way, after going down the stairs, Julius II can take the opportunity to reduce the penalty.

However, as the emperor, Henry IV also stood in the snow for three days and three nights before he was forgiven. Gonzalo is only an earl, several levels lower than the emperor. Therefore, Julius II asked Gonzalo to kneel at the gate of the Holy See for three days and three nights to forgive. And letting the commander of the Spanish army kneel in the Holy See for three days and three nights is also a huge boost to the prestige of the Holy See.

Of course, Julius II also gave the second option, which is also a way to reduce the penalty-the punishment, the confessor executes the punishment in public, and 3000 rods offset the one-year penalty ...

Marin received a letter from the pope's father-in-law and felt very difficult. Why? Because the penalty is a bit harsh. If a young man is okay, Gonzalo is 62 years old!

In the original history, General Gonzalo died this winter. It seems that it is because of malaria infection. After all, he is no longer young and more likely to get sick.

Even the "Kanosa Shame", Henry IV was standing for three days and three nights, much easier than kneeling. Moreover, when Henry IV repented of his sins, he was only 27 years old. It was a strong guy. Where is Gonzalo, 62, comparable?

But the other option is even worse, that's the stick! 3000 sticks can only reach one year, is it necessary to hit 9000 sticks in three years? Isn't Gonzalo a 62-year-old man killed alive?

If the Spanish perform the crutches themselves, and if they are not publicly executed, you can also put water to make people feel interesting. But was that public execution in the Holy See, or the confessor of the Holy See? Even if the confessor was bought, they were forced to make a sound when they were in full view. With a few sticks, this kind of punishment that only listens to the sound of the injury may be able to pass easily. But if it is 9000 sticks, no matter how fools, people will be killed, especially old people like Gonzalo.

Marin didn't know how to choose ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ gave the Spaniard the choice. After receiving Marin's pigeons, the two Spanish kings were both happy and worried. They were glad that they could be exempted from the penalty. They were worried about these two kinds of penalty, one was too shameful, the other was easy to die ...

Helpless by the two kings, he gave the choice to Gonzalo himself ...

Gonzalo received letters from the two kings. After thinking about it, he decided to accept the penalty of kneeling for three days and three nights ...

This punishment is shameful, but at least stronger than being beaten by 9000 sticks. It was not that he was afraid of pain, but that he was afraid that after being killed, Spain would lose to the French in the next war.

As for shame or something, the emperor once bowed his head to the Pope to admit his mistake (Henry IV not only stood in the snow for three days and three nights, but also knelt and cried for mercy), he is an ordinary count, kneeling for three days and three nights is not counted Especially wronged.

Moreover, this seemingly humiliating punishment kneeling, while giving the Holy See face, can also be exchanged for a complete pardon of the Pope, which is more cost-effective.

So, Gonzalo informed the two kings of Spain that he was going to the Holy See to accept the penalty and kneel. At the same time, he also sent pigeons to Marin to ask Marin to help clear the relationship in the Holy See. For example, give a mat when kneeling, so that you can kneel more comfortably. Also, allow him to go to the toilet halfway ... may not be able to insist on eating or drinking for three days, not to go to the toilet for three days and three nights, but to suffocate people ...
