As a naval general and sailor, Andrew Doria Gernaya Governor is definitely very qualified. No, it should be said to be excellent. His strategic vision and diplomatic skills are also quite good. Andrew asked himself that he was not inferior to the most outstanding governors of Gernaya. In his hands, the Republic of Genoa will inevitably regain vitality and vitality.

Unfortunately, Andrew made a mistake: he chose the wrong opponent and occupied the Republic of Genoa, which occupied Milan, Genoa, Corsica and the Seiding. Although it can be considered a small-strong level among the entire Catholic countries, it is only a small-strong level. Compared with a real continental power, there is still a certain gap. It is even more incomparable to world-class powers like Eastern Rome.

During the heyday of Renoia, there were only 25,000 armored soldiers and 170 warships.

This is thanks to the good economic conditions of Northern Italy. Otherwise, with half of the territory of Northern Italy as big as the size of it, it would not be able to support so many soldiers if they grow grain.

That's it.

However, those things happened more than ten years ago. In the years when Andrew just took over as Gernaya Gernaya, Renaya was indeed booming. But the good times didn't last long. The next ten years were nearly ten years, and ten consecutive wars. First, there were consecutive wars between Renaya and Venice. Then, the rise of Barbary pirates in North Africa. Andrew took the Renaya Navy to wander around the Mediterranean, and eliminated one batch after another. It was like leeks. It could not be removed at all.

And Renaya's strength was also wiped out bit by bit in such endless wars.

In this way, misfortune never came singularly. Last year, Renaya was involved in the war between the Holy See and Constantine. Although Eastern Rome under the banner of suppressing the Pope, the rest were all ignored.

But Andrew still understands the truth that the chun died of cold teeth.

If you can't even die, you can only continue to fight.

In this way, a series of more than ten years of wars have forced a middle-aged man who is strong and strong into an old man full of injuries. Renaya has also declined since its heyday. The army is only tens of thousands, and the navy is even worse. In December last year, the Venice, Renaya coalition, the Eastern Rome Mediterranean Fleet, the Aegean Fleet and the Royal Fleet fought bloody battles in the Aegean Sea. In the end, the Greek pirates took advantage of the fire and robbed the Bari Shipyard. They threw hundreds of kilograms of turmeric oil with stone throwing tools and chuáng crossbows. It was also a big fire. Renaya Navy has been in a slump since then.

Therefore, although Renaya has not yet reached the end of the end, it is still close. As a country that has supreme maritime power and started with maritime trade, without the navy, there will be no sea control. Without the sea control, I can only close my eyes and wait for death. Therefore, Andrew's spine and bones naturally cannot stand up. Two months ago, someone came from Eastern Rome and persuaded him to surrender. Andrew almost agreed...............

Speaking of which, Narcises, the governor of the Eastern Rome to Sicily, is really a "talent".

After obtaining the authorization of Emperor Basil II, he actually took a "allied city" rule dug out from the old paper pile and changed it slightly, and it became a condition for persuading surrender for Venice and Renaya.

To be honest, this is a very tolerant condition. The provisions can be made that the Governors of Venice and Genoa can be conferred as hereditary nobility dukes. At the same time, the two countries are allowed to retain most of their political, military and economic rights. All they have to do is recognize Basil II as the sovereign state and convert to the Orthodox Church. They are just offering a certain amount of donations every year. Speaking of which, although they are under the sign of the allied cities, they are actually very vassal states with independent vocations. Their status is still above the five vassal states in the Balkans.

So, in fact, Andrew was already moved. He even decided to surrender. But the plan could not change faster. He had just decided to surrender to Eastern Rome and converted to the Orthodox Church. Later, his subordinates came in to report that Marseille had been broken and two thousand defenders were wiped out. The four-nation coalition led by Norman King Egil had already advanced in Renaya.

The situation was stronger than others, so long live the situation. So Andrew directly withered. Without saying a word, he sent an envoy to Egil to offer surrender. He also promised to join the coalition forces and work with Egil and other heroes to uphold the right path and maintain peace in the sacred Catholic world.

Naturally, Egil didn't care much for himself. Although he was very powerful in stealing a handful of Renaya, one of the richest cities in Northern Italy, this kind of power is very strong. But it is really unwise to push a person who can become an ally to the enemy. Egil now claims to be the savior of the Catholic world everywhere. He doesn't want the Italian people to regard him as an unforgivable invader. Therefore, if you can win him over, try to win him over.

Therefore, now that Renaya is coming to invest, the coalition forces discussed that adding a chair during the combat meeting is not a big deal. It just happened to make up for Edward's lack.

In particular, Renaya is also considered a landlord in Northern Italy. With his Gapon, he can solve the logistics supply problem of the coalition forces to a large extent.

So, on March 5, 1003, Governor Andrew made careful preparations and wanted to show off his allies. I was rich in Renaya and the soldiers of Northern Italy were sophisticated. I was definitely not because I was afraid of you that I surrendered. I was for the peace of the world, the truth of the universe, and the peace of the kingdom of heaven. The omnipotent God is above, and this is what Amen is like.

Speaking of which, Northern Italy is indeed unique. From the Roman Empire to the Western Roman Empire, Northern Italy has been influenced by thousands of years of cultural influence. City-states such as Venice and Genoa are also rich. Andrew made up his mind to shock these buns from the north. He was also very prepared for this. Although he was not as luxurious as Emperor Yang of Sui, who had silk wrapped around trees. However, he also had a unique style.

But Egil doesn't care.

Egil still seemed to be like usual. He expressed his feelings at the banquet, drank two glasses of wine, and then ran back to his room to pray with Joan of Arc.

Philip, who has been under great pressure in recent times, only barely drank two drinks and went to play in the room. Recently, perhaps because he suffered too much loss at Egil. This fox learned to vent his depression. A female slave who had just bought from Italy tried it out for him.

At the whole banquet, Norman, France, and Burgundy were the third giant, and Charlie was left with heartless food and drink. However, looking at his appearance, he did not seem to have the due emotion about the so-called wealth of Renaya.

This somewhat disappointed Andrew.

But he didn't know. The reason why these guys didn't find it strange was because there was a more luxurious and richer person who could achieve better performance, that is, Egil. Whether it was Goth Castle, the capital of Norman and Oslo, the largest military base in the Norman Kingdom, even Rennes, the capital of Brittany, which Egil had just obtained, it was built not much worse than Gernaya after spilling a lot of silver. Egil really didn't care about these things. Naturally, Norman soldiers were even less interested in it. Some people even felt that the wine provided by Renaya was not as good as the homemade spirits.

He served the wine and meat in this way, but he still did not satisfy the service of the old men. Andrew felt very frustrated, so he decided to withdraw his tone from the Greeks. He prepared a 10,000 army and followed the coalition forces to help Thomas.

However, the coalition forces did not go south.

After three days, the coalition forces did not go south.

In five days, the coalition forces did not go south.

A week passed. When the treasurer of Gernaya found Andrew and said that if the coalition forces continued to eat like this, Renaya would be eaten. Andrew became anxious.

It is said that although Renaya gradually felt a little weak, his foundation was still very sufficient. It is said that if he had a coalition force of more than 100,000 yuan, he would not have a big problem after eating it for a year or two. The problem is that in order to show off, Andrew served with big fish and meat every day. He also used spices to the nobles' banquet. The money was so expensive...

So Andrew couldn't sit still and fought with the Greeks to the death, which could be suspended. In fact, if it was not necessary, Andrew would never want to face this behemoth in his life.

However, it is an urgent matter that concerns your own wallet.

Andrew was not a fool either, so naturally he could see that the coalition forces had the final say, which was Egil who stayed in the room all day long and hang out with the nun. As long as he could ask for him, the coalition forces could be driven out as soon as possible.

However, Egil's idea was completely different from Andrew. He could not control whether the Gernaya finance would be eaten by the coalition forces tens of thousands of mouths. Anyway, the coalition forces had a stable retreat and could not do it, if they crossed the Northern Alps and went to Frederick in Bavaria, he was at least an ally of Egil, who could manage food. So Egil was really not in a hurry.

He was still waiting. He rushed forward when the Holy See could not hold on. Only then could he gain the most benefits.

Therefore, Andrew Shenma's opinions can be completely ignored.

But on the second day, an emergency message from Venice was sent to Egil's idea of ​​waiting for time.
