Chapter 1436 Siege of the City of Naples
Seeing the prospective son-in-law covered in bruises, Queen Anne quickly arranged for the imperial physician to help with the examination. After the examination, Queen Anne asked:
"How? Didn't you get crippled?"
The imperial doctor shook his head and said:
"Although there are many wounds on your body, they are all skin traumas and will recover in less than a month. The only doubtful thing is that your highness seems to have been whipped and some wounds are made. That is, I don't know if your highness can... be...humanized..."
Queen Anne frowned immediately. She didn't want her daughter to marry a eunuch. Fortunately, her daughter hasn't been married yet. If it really doesn't work, she can regret the marriage... So she waved her hand and called a beautiful maid with big breasts and said:
"You, go and seduce Prince François!"
"Ah? Queen, please spare me!" The maid was frightened and seduced the queen's daughter's fiancé. Is she going to die?
"Don't be afraid, I just need to confirm whether Prince François can be humane. If you prove this, you don't have to continue! If you do this, you will be rewarded with great reward!"
The maid breathed a sigh of relief and came to Prince François's room to recover from his wounds. She began to take off her clothes, then shook her chest and twisted her waist...
Prince Francois is only 19 years old, the age of the most angry one. Seeing this scene, he almost had a nosebleed...
Seeing this, the beautiful maid breathed a sigh of relief, quickly put on her clothes, and reported to Queen Anne...
Prince Francois was confused - what is this? I was lifted up, but you ran away... Who will help reduce the fire?
Queen Anne also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that her prospective son-in-law could still do it.
However, Queen Anne suddenly remembered a secret that Louis XII mentioned. That is, Edward, the current king of England, had been kicked out by him by the "egg-kicking master" and could not have children in the future.
So she asked François nervously:
"François, my dear child. Have you ever been kicked in the crotch during your capture?"
François didn't know about kicking an egg master. He thought for a while and said:
"No, I've only been whipped. However, the whip was so painful when he hit his body with a barb!" After saying that, he shivered in fear.
Queen Anne breathed a sigh of relief and thought again. It seemed that the master of kicking Edward's balls who had been sent by Louis XII to kick Edward's balls badly seemed to be ordered to silence her later. Moreover, the guy did not pass on his apprentice or something. Therefore, it is unlikely that Prince François would be ruined by someone...
Also, the French court imperial doctors are not of good quality, so it is difficult to see the knife wound outside Dandan that was disguised as a whip. After all, European doctors are still at the level of bloodletting treatment, so it is difficult to see the problem at a glance.
Because there is no problem thinking about it, this matter has passed...
...
Of course, the victim Prince François must be unable to get over it. He has already determined that the English had kidnapped him, so he planned to seek revenge on the English after he inherited the French throne! It would be best to have a comprehensive national war and destroy England to relieve his hatred of being whipped.
But after the news reached Italy through the carrier pigeon, Louis XII was silent for a while and ordered a reply to Queen Anne - just pretending that nothing had happened...
After all, Louis XII was still dreaming of having a son. If he gave birth to a son within two years, he still hoped that his son would marry Edward. Therefore, even if Edward sent someone to assassinate Margaret and his son and hurt Prince François, Louis XII didn't care much. After all, if he had a son, Prince François would be considered a P. And, wasn't he not having any big problems? As for Margaret and his son in Tudor, Louis XII also had plans - if he gave birth to a son and married Edward's daughter, he would order this woman to be executed without Edward's actions to prevent future troubles. After all, if he had a son, England would belong to his son in the future. How could such a woman make trouble survive?
But now, when everything is not determined, Louis XII means - pretending to be deaf and dumb, and this matter is just over...
Moreover, France's only task now is to fight for Italy. If you go to provoke England at this time, your brain will definitely be kicked by a donkey...
...
In order to capture the city of Naples, Louis XII ordered tens of thousands of troops to launch a strong attack on it. Of course, it was not the French who took the lead in attacking the city, but the 22,000 Italian mercenaries he hired in Milan.
The Mushket musket in the city of Naples is indeed powerful. The 50 grams lead bullet fired by this musket made the Italian mercenaries who were trying to climb the city wall be directly bombarded. Then, the lead bullet stirred a huge blood hole in the body of these unlucky eggs, causing blood arrows to squirt...
Italian mercenaries have always been less courageous, and they were frightened by this situation and wanted to retreat. However, it was too late...
At this time, Louis XII showed a cruel and ruthless side - he ordered the French knights and Swiss mercenaries to fight behind, forcing Italian mercenaries to attack the city, and let them use the few ammunition of the Spanish as bait.
At this time, the Italian mercenary leader Pasto saw the danger. He didn't want to be the cannon fodder of the French, but if he didn't want to be the cannon fodder of the French, then who would be the cannon fodder?
So he asked to meet Louis XII and knelt down on his knees and said:
"Your Majesty, I have a way to consume the enemy's ammunition. Please don't force us to consume the Spanish ammunition anymore!"
Louis XII did not look up, but asked lightly:
“Tell me…”
Pasto plucked up his courage and said:
"Your Majesty, what you fear is nothing more than the Spanish bullets. However, it would be a waste to let us Italian mercenaries go up to consume the enemy bullets. After all, after the city is broken, we can still fight with the Spanish in the city. And we can also find someone else to complete the task of consuming the opponent's bullets!"
"Look for others? Who are you looking for? French warriors?" Louis XII's voice became cold.
Pasto practices waving his hands:
"No, no! Your Majesty, I mean--we can capture local young and strong farmers to attract guns and bullets from the defenders..."
"Local young and strong farmers? Will the Spanish shoot when they see them? They are not stupid. When they see young and strong farmers who are not threatening, will they be willing to shoot and waste ammunition?" Louis XII said dissatisfied.
Pasto smiled and said:
"Your Majesty, if you are a simple local farmer, the Spanish will certainly not shoot. But, are we Italian mercenaries mixed in it? We forced the captured local people to climb the city walls behind us. Then, we sent people to mingle with short swords. If the enemy fires, if we do not shoot, our people will take the opportunity to attack and seize a piece of the city wall..."
Louis XII's eyes lit up:
"This idea is OK, you can take charge of arresting people!"
