Warlock Royal Family

() Liguria's parliament is about the same as when Ladislaus left. It can be called solemn and elegant, reflecting the majesty of a powerful republic. .. welcome to read

In just a few short years, things have changed and people have changed. The once dominant Xibo family has fallen into exile and only the last seedlings are left. However, the Doria family, which was suppressed and disadvantaged at all times, is now the undisputed master here.

Of course, one thing has not changed. Today's ruling family has the same internal and external troubles as the Xibo family.

In the secret room of the Consul's Palace, the place where Sibo and his son once conspired against Ladislaus, Doria and his son are studying similar issues.

"Father, we can organize more than 1 people, of which [-] are experienced sailors, who can go out of the city and fight that kid Ladislaus." Milo Doria said to Ladislaus He was very dissatisfied that he had collected so much money, and his sister would come to besiege his city after sleeping.

"Don't call the Habsburg cardinal that way." Although there are only two people, Andre Doria does not allow his son to offend a member of the Habsburg family.

"Father, that boy is a wolf-hearted boy. Forget about his years of nurturing, he still comes to besiege the city after taking so much money from us." Milo finally said what was in his heart. He still cares about his family to some extent. "I don't know if my sister is really as good as she said in her letter in Vienna, or if she was wronged and didn't tell us."

"Confused, the agreement between Ladislaus and us does not include a peace agreement. How could he make things difficult for your sister?" Although Andre Doria told his son this, in fact, he had had expectations in his heart as a hero. .Facing the front is never easy.

"I really didn't expect that I educated you so well." Taking the admiration for his opponent into his heart, Andre Doria cheered up: "Don't bring up the city field battle again, this time the renovated city wall and the hoarding in the city It is not a problem to besiege the city for a year, and those sailors are the most precious wealth of our Doria family, and I will never send them into a land battle unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Then spend it with Ladislaus like this? I don't know what France has done in the past two years. How come they were beaten once by Ladislaus and the others." It's a bit vague, according to the Marquis of Pescara's propaganda, the main force of the French army suffered another complete defeat, but if they knew that the Duke of Bourbon had changed their camp, it would be like a godsend.I'm afraid it will be even more unacceptable.

The fiasco of the Battle of Bikka caused by the stupidity of the Swiss had a terrible reputation for the Duke of Bourbon, and this time it should be able to recover a little bit.

"We don't care about it, as long as we defend the city of Liguria, there is no fear that we will not have a place on Europa's chessboard." Andre Doria's loyalty to the Kingdom of France is naturally very, very limited. He is only loyal to The Doria family may have more or less affection for the Republic of Liguria. "The key is to maintain your strength and du li."

"You mean the two thousand Frenchmen in the city?" This garrison served as a proof of the suzerainty of the French Kingdom and gained a lot of benefits for King François. The preferential treatment, the positions of several councilors also sat on the buttocks of the French king's servants, and the two thousand French troops that caused all this can be said to be the thorn in the flesh of Doria and his son.

"It's an opportunity. But don't be too hasty." Andre Doria didn't make up his mind to change sides, and even if he changed sides, he didn't want to completely turn against the Kingdom of France.In the past two years, as the commander of the Mediterranean Navy of the Kingdom of France, he has indeed received a lot of benefits. He has received a lot of favor from François I, and he does not want to get a bad reputation. "Stabilize the city defense first, and you keep an eye on those families whose trade routes are mainly on land."

In the end, Marshal Doria still adhered to the principle of being cautious and prudent in handling affairs. In fact, his doctrine was determined and would not change easily. It was just to ring the bell for the young and vigorous eldest son.

"This time, if the Kingdom of France is really defeated again and we don't need to do anything, then this army should be transferred back to their homeland." What Marshal Doria really cared about was the land lost from him. "We will not only drive the French out of the city of Liguria. We will also take back Corsica completely. This is the obligation of our Doria family to the motherland."

The issue of the ownership of Corsica was the focus between the Kingdom of France and the Republic of Liguria, and the ceded island was a sore on the heart of Marshal Doria.

Doria and his son were not very worried about Ladislaus outside the city. Although they refused to fight in the field for prudent purposes, they did not think that Ladislaus could pose a fatal threat to this city with sufficient food and grass. .

However, Ladislaus didn't seem to agree with their point of view. He formed a large village and planted more flags, not only closing all the land passages of Liguria cities.He also placed his double-headed eagle flag on the periphery of the dock area, directly threatening the lifeline of the city of Liguria.

The attitude of Ladislaus made Milo-Doria doubt the number of the Austrian army. The discrepancy between the figures provided by the intelligence agency and the posture of the Austrian army made Milo's cousin very nervous, patrolling the city defense day and night.

Marshal Andre Doria rejected all suggestions from his subordinates to go out of the city for testing.It is strictly forbidden to fight, but he does not object to his son's hard work, allowing Milo to urge the city defense with all his strength.

A few days later, it was rumored in the city of Liguria that there were tens of thousands of Austrian troops alone, and more than [-] Spanish troops were coming. .

Milo, who saw his father again, did not ask for a fight again: "Father, it seems that my cousin really wants to fight us. He released this news because he wanted to fight us before the Spanish army arrived. Break the city."

"Oh, in your opinion, this is Ladislaus challenging us?" Marshal Andre Doria asked his son to express his opinion.

"This possibility is the greatest. Even if there are other possibilities, it's not worth the risk." Milo wasn't sure what, but after comparing the various plans, this was the safest response he chose.

"My eldest son is ambitious and has good judgment and should be able to continue the family, but the luck of the times seems to be with the Habsburg family. It is better not to sit in the position of Duke of Liguria. The Republic of Liguria has It is best for the Doria family to maintain the political system.I will do the hardest job for you. '

After thinking for a while and making a decision, Andre Doria said to the shadow on the wall: "Mr. Silica, please tell His Royal Highness the Cardinal, I will decide the place and time, my son Need to meet him."
