Chapter 961: Spain wants to explode?

Zaragoza, the capital of the Kingdom of Aragon, Spain, has just finished his visit to the North Sea and the Netherlands, and King Juan III of Castile is persuading his father, King Ferdinand II of Aragon.

Ferdinand II has not continued to be single since the death of Queen Isabella I, but in the second year he found a new queen-Jermaine of Fuwa. The Queen Germainie was born in 1488, 10 years younger than Juan III, and only 20 years old this year.

Juan III was very embarrassed by this stepmother, who was ten years younger than himself. Nima, she is young enough. But how young is this stepmother ... and his father, Ferdinand II, is 56 years old ...

Therefore, Juan III tried to avoid contact with his younger stepmother, so as not to embarrass both parties. Ferdinand II also knew this, so he never took Queen Germani to Toledo, the capital of the Kingdom of Castile, but just left it in Zaragoza to avoid embarrassment.

Moreover, Ferdinand II was also an "old man chatting with teenagers" recently, staying focused on staying in Zaragoza and Queen Germani, who is younger than any of his children, busy working together to make a villain, planning to give his son Hu Ansan made a brother and sister, especially his brother ...

Ten years ago, Juan III almost died of illness, leaving Ferdinand II a huge psychological shadow. Ferdinand II had a son of Juan III. If this only son died, the Trastamara dynasty in Aragon would be heir to.

So, this matter reminded Ferdinand II-a son is too uninsured, it is better to have more sons. For those few daughters, Ferdinand II had no affection. Even for the death of Princess Catherine, he could bear it. But for the only son Juan III, Ferdinand II was still very dear.

Originally, Ferdinand II was a very powerful person. However, since his son Juan III reigned as King of Castile, although he still had the name of Regent, he gradually went to Toledo less. Of course, Juan III's approach also made him very happy-Juan III still respected his father very much, and asked him for many things. So, in the past two years, Ferdinand II gradually went to Toledo, but was busy making villains with the young Queen Germainie.

In fact, Juan III now has a son with Princess Margaret of Austria. Moreover, the son's name is a coincidence-also called Marin ... However, just like Juan is the Spanish name for John (Charlie V of Charlie, Carlos in Spanish), the son of Juan III Called Marion in Spanish. This is the special name given to his son by Juan III to commemorate Marin's life-saving grace. Moreover, Juan III believed that Marin's luck was too bad, and actually mixed from a wandering knight to the Duke. Therefore, giving his son the name may bring good luck ...

...

To be honest, Juan III came to Zaragoza this time, following the advice of Marin and wanting to enter Morocco. In terms of national power, the Kingdom of Castile is actually stronger than the Kingdom of Aragon. However, the Kingdom of Castile now lacks top-notch celebrities. And Spain ’s most famous star Gonzalo de Córdoba, although initially an officer in the Kingdom of Castile, has not been returned since it was seconded by Ferdinand II to the Italian battlefield in 1495 . Now, Gonzalo de Córdoba is still under the control of the Kingdom of Aragon, the Kingdom of Naples as the highest garrison.

Juan III knew very well that the destruction of the Kingdom of Morocco requires not only a strong army but also a reliable general who can command the army to win. Obviously, the most prestigious star in Spain is Gonzalo de Córdoba. Therefore, Juan III came to ask Ferdinand II for Gonzalo de Cordoba. In addition, he also hopes that the Aragon Kingdom will have some troops. After all, the Kingdom of Castile alone is very difficult to destroy Morocco.

Unlike the Kingdom of Castile, the Kingdom of Aragon has been actively participating in the Italian hegemony over the years. Therefore, during the battle, a group of outstanding officers appeared in the Kingdom of Aragon. These officers played a huge role in the Aragonese army's victory over France, and also had rich combat experience. Unlike the officers of the Kingdom of Castile, since the elimination of the Kingdom of Granada in 1492, they have not experienced war.

Marin had an idea for Juan III-to ask Ferdinand II for Gonzalo de Cordoba, and a group of experienced Aragonese officers for the national war against Morocco . After all, Juan III was planning to mobilize tens of thousands of troops to annex the Kingdom of Morocco in one fell swoop.

...

"What, do you want Gonzalo?" Ferdinand II frowned, then continued:

"However, Gonzalo is also indispensable in Italy. You know, the French are very powerful. If there are no famous generals, I worry that the French will fight back ...

In the eyes of Ferdinand II, the rich kingdom of Naples is very important. Gonzalo is over there, he can rest assured.

Juan III said confidently:

"Please don't worry, my father. I think, now, the French have no time to take care of Italy!"

"How to say this?" Ferdinand II frowned ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Juan III had communicated with Marin for this, and his wife Margaret of Austria was also a smart woman Strongman also helped him analyze. So he said confidently:

"Father, should you know the Great Straits Battle of the previous year?"

Ferdinand II nodded naturally, nonsense, who doesn't know this classic naval battle?

Juan III nodded and continued:

"In that naval battle, the French lost too much supplies, and even owed a lot of debts for this. Therefore, I think that in the past two years, France simply did not have enough financial resources to do things in Italy ... In addition, the French have to support Switzerland What about the affairs of the Habsburg family ... "

"In addition, I recently heard that King James IV of Scotland was recently assassinated. I think that the French must definitely turn their attention to Scotland. After all, Scotland is a traditional ally of France, and the French are certain Ca n’t watch the traditional allies being easily annexed by the enemy of England ... ”

After thinking about it, Ferdinand II thought that Juan III's ideas were very reasonable. France now has a lot of trouble, and it still has to intervene in Switzerland and Scotland. The dispatch of troops to Italy is really inadequate. So, now the Kingdom of Naples in Italy is less dangerous ...

Moreover, the Musquette musket, which is now being promoted in the Spanish army, is absolutely no problem for defending the city.

In the end, Ferdinand II was relieved:

"Well, I agree to release General Gonzalo to help you attack Morocco. In addition, the Kingdom of Aragon can send 10,000 troops to assist this attack on Morocco!"

"Okay, thank you father!" Juan III kissed Ferdinand II excitedly, and then hurried back to Toledo to arrange everything ... Let's say he recruited tens of thousands of troops ...
