Machiavelli's mouth twitched and stood there, not only because of fear but also because of tension.

Although he did not know who this person was, the words he heard shocked him.

Machiavelli was already certain at this time that these Genoese were by no means accidental or inadvertently passing, but came specifically for Pisa.

What's in Pisa City?

There are exchanges established by Alexander, objective wealth that has been hoarded, and most importantly, there are Alexander's lovers and daughters.

Machiavelli's lips moved again, and he knew this might be one of the few opportunities in his life.

No matter what choices he makes, the possible impact is huge and even daunting.

The idea of ​​protecting or betraying Lucrezia's mother and daughter was only forgotten by Machiavelli in a hurry.

Machiavelli knew there were not many opportunities for him to choose in this matter. The most important thing was that he couldn't think of beneficiaries of his mother and daughter.

Neither Alexander nor the Pope ’s anger was affordable for him as a little Florentine, and doing so was really not good for him.

What if we could find a way to protect the mother and daughter?

Just thinking about it, Machiavelli shook his head secretly in his heart, and reminded himself to look at it first.

"Who is this man, why did he bring him to see me?" General Genoa asked the soldier casually.

"Adult, he said he was an official in Florence and insisted on seeing you."

"Florence?" Genoa looked at Machiavelli slightly in surprise. "If I remember correctly, Florence is now a vassal of Gumbre. This person may be a spy."

"Then it doesn't matter if we execute him here?" A mercenary leader looked up and down Machiavelli unwillingly. "I started to think that the robe on him looked quite suitable for me."

A group of officers laughed, and the general looked at the Florentine with a pale face.

"I'm Nicolo Machiavelli, an official of the Florence City Hall, and a diplomat in Pisa appointed by Sazzi's governor. I think I have the power I deserve." Machiavelli shuddered slightly. Then he forced himself to announce to these Genoese with a loud voice.

General Genoa raised his hand to stop his men from making laughter again, and he slowly walked forward to Machiavelli and looked at him.

"Machiavelli, I've heard of this surname, the former nobleman of Florence, but I heard that this family had fallen and heirs long ago."

"It's gone, but it doesn't have a heir." Machiavelli used his shining eyes to look at the Genoese. "At least I can prove that this family still has descendants."

"Is that a diplomat in Florence?" General Genoa smiled slightly sarcastically, then took a step back. "I am Calgino. You should have heard of this surname. Now tell me what are you going to Pisa?"

"I was under the order of the archon ..." Machiavelli replied instinctively, just as he was about to express his purpose, a flash of light suddenly flashed from Machiavelli's heart, where it was as short as lightning At the moment, he made a bold decision "to come to the Duke of Pisa with an ultimatum."

"Ultimate?"

Machiavelli's answer gave Calgino some interest.

He knows the relationship between Pisa and Genoa very well, and he knows that the previous status of these two places seems to have just switched positions, which makes him not really curious about why Machiavelli went to Pizza.

When he wanted to come to this person, it was nothing more than being sent by the Florentine government to bow down to Pisa, and now he suddenly heard that the Florentine gave him such a strange answer, which aroused his curiosity.

"The consul has decided to wage a war against Pisa," Machiavelli secretly surprised his boldness, but involuntarily began to say that he might not even believe that he was a big lie. "Count Montina let his daughter inherit Pisa , This is absolutely unacceptable in Florence, to know that Pisa has always been a city-state under the power of Florence, although we are not willing to admit that someone once ruled, but Lorenzo Medici in Florence was still a dozen years ago. Pisa built his own villa, and almost all of Florence ’s slightly prestigious people have various relationships with Pisa. Now Pisa not only wants to get rid of Florence, but even wants to rule us. This is absolutely not allowed. So I went to Pisa following the order of the Archon and asked them to accept our final conditions and either surrender or be conquered. "

After hearing Machiavelli's generous accusations, Calgino couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

He didn't care what the Florentines thought, but he didn't understand how the Florentines suddenly became so brave.

It's not that they were not brave before, but everyone who is a little familiar with the current situation of Florence knows how ridiculous this Machiavelli said in front of him, at least Calgino doesn't think that the Florentines have the ability to do what he said.

But Calgino couldn't help but care about this man's last words.

"Either surrender or be conquered?"

The Genoese looked at Machiavelli in a puzzled manner. He felt that he was either a liar or he was a lunatic, otherwise how could he say such things.

"Yes, the consul thinks that we should still be kind to the pizza. This time I go to hope that a war can be avoided in a more peaceful way."

Calgino felt that there was nothing to say about this person. He had already determined that this person was a liar.

"Adult, I came to see you because I found that you seem to have the same purpose as us, which makes me have to worry a little," Machiavelli only continued when he did not see Calgino's already impatient look. Speaking further, "The Venetian should not be very happy with this."

"What are you talking about, Venetian?"

Calgino, who had already turned and left, suddenly stopped. He quickly turned to look at Alexandria, his eyes showing suspicion and scrutiny: "Do you want to tell me that there are Venetians involved?"

"Did I not say it," Machiavelli seemed to think back, and then showed an embarrassed look. "Probably I forgot to say that an agreement was reached between Lord Sazi and the Venetian. People are willing to help us get rid of the threat from Pisa. "

"An agreement with Venice? When did this happen?"

Calgino looked at Machiavelli unexpectedly. The surprise and surprise at the news made him forget what he thought he was just a liar.

Suddenly hearing the news of the alliance between Florence and Venice, it was enough to attract attention, and Calgino thought more than other soldiers.

He knew the tense and delicate relationship between Florence and the Holy See. If the previous Savonarola era was more confrontational, today Florence may not really be willing to submit to the Vatican.

In this case, how likely is it that the Venetians will set their sights on Romagna again while the Vatican is dealing with changes from France?

Calgino thought so even thought that this possibility might be getting bigger.

Even if it fails, Venice will not lose anything, and if it succeeds, is it not the best time to reach out to Romagna now?

The Vatican is overwhelmed by self-care. Genoa is fighting against Montina. As Florence, oppressed by Pisa and the Vatican, is struggling to find a way out to save its city.

If Venice appeared in front of the Florentines at this time, it might look like the Savior.

The more dismissive look on Calgino's face slowly disappeared. He looked at the Florentine in front of him seriously, and after a little thought, he beckoned and let him talk with himself. talk.

Under the watch of a group of doubtful Genoese officers, the two walked a little further away.

"Let's say, how can Sazi give up this action." Calgino looked at Machiavelli, and he felt that this person's appearance was too coincidental. This idea made him very uncomfortable.

"In fact, I just happened to pass by here, so I can't bring you the request of the Archon," Machiavelli deliberately pushed away. "I just brought the condition of the Archon and the Venetian. Know that the Venetian tried to The attack on Pizza failed, and this time they became more cautious, but fortunately, Count Montina was not in Pizza. "

Hearing Alexander, Calgino's face was dark again.

He knew that the Florentine was implying that Alexander was unable to support Pisa because he was pinned by him, which made Calgino even more uncomfortable.

He felt as if he had almost become a Venetian hitter, and while he was enthusiasmly competing against Gombre, the Venetian suddenly jumped out from the side and prepared to grab a piece of fat that had been taken by him.

But he could not help but take this matter seriously, especially when it involves the two city-states of Venice and Florence.

Venice can dispatch troops, and Florence can serve as a base for attacking Pisa. Considering that there is only a dozen miles between Pisa and Florence, Calgino suddenly feels nervous that he is already in danger.

In front of him was Pizza, and behind him was a Venetian who might appear at any time, and that Gombré didn't know if it would appear suddenly.

Calgino's breath was slightly heavy.

Just as various thoughts passed quickly in Calgino's heart, he suddenly heard the Florentine next to him whisper:

"In fact, I think if you can take down the pizza as soon as possible, things might not get worse."

Calgino glanced at Machiavelli unexpectedly, and he began to feel that he had heard it wrong, but when the Florentine smiled at him, he finally determined what he had heard.

"Are you persuading me to attack Pizza?"

"Aren't you already prepared for this, please forgive me for hearing the order you gave to your officers just now, so I think if you can quickly take over Pisa, things might be different."

Calgino looked at Machiavelli suspiciously, because he didn't know the purpose of the Florentine, and he began to think that every word he said was suspicious.

"I have seen the Earl of Montina and I am familiar with him," Machiavelli continued. "In fact, I even served him briefly in his army. I personally participated in his and Caesar Borgia The battle of Livorno, so I know exactly what he means to Florence. "

"what is that?"

"It's domination. Earl Montina is different from others, at least from Genoa to the Venetians," Machiavelli looked at Calgino. "You may force Florence to surrender, but you won't rule us, but I can feel it Coming out, the Count of Montina hopes to rule Florence one day through Pisa. This is absolutely unacceptable to me. Unfortunately, no one wants to believe me. Even the Sazi Archon thinks that my opinion is too ridiculous. "

"That's why you think I should take Pisa? Get rid of Gombré's woman and his daughter?" Calgino thought how much he could understand this Florentine, except for the subtle situation in front of him that suddenly suddenly made him hesitant.

"No, I just don't want a direct conflict between Florence and the Earl." Machiavelli shook his head. "In fact, I have no malice with the Earl, and I even admire him, but because of this I don't want to see such a battlefield. The outbreak of I only hoped that Florence could be freed from the threat of the earl by peaceful means, but if the Genoese can occupy Pisa, then everything is another matter. "

Calgino looked at Machiavelli coldly. He thought he probably already understood what this Florentine meant.

Obviously this man knew the power of Count Montina, so even with the help of the Venetians, he did not want Florence and Alexandria to have a confrontation.

And his appearance seems to have helped him.

Calgino didn't mind "helping this one", so what he really cared about was the Venetian Machiavelli said.

"Where is the Venetian now?" Cargill finally asked the question he really cared about.

"Some are in Florence, but their army is not there. You know that the Abbey of Saint Mark is appointed by the Pope."

Cargill listened very seriously to such a word.

Savonarola remained in the position of Abbey of Saint Mark until he was burnt to death, which made the identity of Abbey of Saint Mark even more honorable than the Archon.

Now that the monastery is appointed by the Pope, many people know this, so when he heard Machiavelli mention this, Calgino thought he was a little believable.

"So how many are there in the army of Venice?" After seeing Machiavelli's face embarrassed, Cargill said lightly, "Don't forget what you just said, maybe I can really help you get Florence from the plight in front of you." Get rid of. "

Calgino's "advisory" seemed to impress Machiavelli. He hesitated first, and then, with some reluctance, he began to reveal the "situation" of Venice to the Genoese a little bit.

"Mainly infantry, maybe some heavy infantry ..."

"No, I don't see too many cavalry ..."

"The Venetian brought artillery this time, yes, it was the kind of siege artillery. Know that they had suffered a great loss last time in Pisa City, so this time it should be a good learner."

Listening to Machiavelli's words, the look on Calgino's face slowly became dignified.

He hadn't been to Pisa before, or he didn't really pay attention to the city defense of Pisa, so he didn't know what the city was like.

Now listening to Machiavelli's description of the Venetians, he at the same time quickly imagined what kind of city an army of this size would attack.

What surprised Calgino was that the result of his guess was actually a fortress!

Instead of using cavalry, but more infantry, this is obviously not from the beginning to quickly capture Pisa in a short period of time, although he also knows that there are not many cavalry in Venice, but he quickly captured that as he imagined The city is different, and the Venetians apparently did not think they would take pizza so smoothly.

What made him pay more attention to the artillery that Machiavelli said!

artillery!

This thing that now makes the Genoese feel terrified from the bottom of his heart has caught Calgino's attention since the Florentine had just mentioned it.

"The Venetians are going to use artillery to attack Pisa?" Calgino felt a little strange. Even though he had a strong wall in his imagination, it was still too trivial to use siege artillery on such a city.

"No, they didn't plan to attack the city with artillery," Machiavelli deliberately smiled ridiculously. "They just want to use artillery to shoot artillery."

Seeing Calgino's puzzled look, Machiavelli pondered, thinking that he should think about how to describe and exaggerate the power of artillery in the city of Pisa.

But the Florentine apparently underestimated Calgino, but hesitated for a moment and he understood what he had at once.

"You mean there is artillery in Pisa City ?!"

"There is artillery ..."

"is it a lot?"

"It seems like a lot ..."

"The kind dedicated to infantry?"

"it seems that……"

"The Venetians came with artillery just to destroy their artillery?"

"Maybe, it is ..."

Machiavelli looked at Calgino's face when it looked sunny and cloudy ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ I was a little uneasy.

He knew he was too risky, but such a good chance made him unable to decide to gamble on a destiny.

Threatening the Genoese with Venetians and hesitating with exaggerated Pisa's defenses.

The most important thing is that now that the Genoese have penetrated into Tuscany, Machiavelli does not know whether Alexander has received the news, but he feels that the count should not be so closed.

In this case, Machiavelli is betting that Alexander is coming to Pisa.

Everything is for Florence.

Machiavelli told himself in his heart.

At the same time, he heard a command from Calgino, who suddenly turned to the officers in the distance: "Order the whole army, be ready to go!"
