No one is born to fight, just like the time traveler Marin, even though he had watched many war movies and novels in his previous life, when he really fought, he panicked at the beginning. But because the first battle happened to be an ambush of Charles VIII's army at night, the French knights didn't know that his strength was weak, and they just ran for their lives instead of desperately. Therefore, it was cheaper for him.
If during the day, the French knights saw him, they would set up an ambush with such a small number of people, and guaranteed to beat all his shi! But it was also that battle that built up strong confidence for Marin's men, and then, after the fight started, they no longer feared. After all, they defeated thousands of French knights with a small number of recruits. The same is true for Marin. That battle gave him infinite confidence. It wasn't until later that many casualties occurred on the battlefield that he became more and more cautious and obsessive.
However, that was Marin who had become a monarch. For the soldiers below, if you don't take risks and work hard, you can't get a bright future. Moreover, the people selected by Marin are more brave. But no matter how brave you are, you are also afraid of unknown dangers. Therefore, they need to adapt to large-scale wars in advance, and adapt to the super-large Ross army like locusts. As long as you see a lot, you will have a bottom line when you fight.
Of course, this is after going back. Right now, Marin still has important things to do. This matter is to send Robert secretly to Rome instead of entering the city with him.
After all, Robert is an illegitimate child, and he is also Marin's illegitimate child. Therefore, it is best for Marin to get rid of the relationship right now. Fortunately, Robert looks like Felice, a little dark and thin, unlike Marin and Angela, who are all in vain. Caesar is also white, and his face is much more refined than Robert's, more like Angela. Sometimes, Marin wondered if Angela and Felice were real sisters. However, Mario (Jack Ma), Maria (Marie) and Giuliano, who were also born to Felice, are whiter and more similar to Angela. If he hadn't watched Felice conceive and give birth to the children with his own eyes, Marin would have suspected that the children were born by Angela. Therefore, Felice and Robert's black and thin may be mutations.
However, Robert is not like himself, nor is he like Caesar, but it also gave Marin a chance to avoid suspicion. In this way, other bishops in the Holy See, as well as bigwigs from various countries, will not doubt the relationship between Robert and himself.
Moreover, the strange thing is that Robert's appearance is very similar to that of Felice when she was a child. When he appeared in Rome as a "child of the Rovere family" before, some cardinals judged that this was probably Felice's child. It's just that they don't know where Felice is now. And Felice is secretly hiding in the backyard of the palace in the North Sea, so people in Rome naturally don't know about it.
Then, under the deliberate manipulation of the spies of the North Sea State, Robert's identity as Felice's son was deliberately spread. However, the identity of Robert's father is unknown. The spies of the North Sea State spread the news that it might be a small rural nobleman in the Genoa region (in fact, Felice once married the stupid son of a landlord's family in the local countryside). Everyone has heard about the fact that Felice was once reduced to the countryside. then,
Some well-informed people acquiesced that this was Felice's son. As for who the child's father is, everyone thinks it doesn't matter if you know it or not. Did you change your surname to Rovere without seeing it?
Later, when Robert left Rome, the cardinal also sent people to follow him. But it's a pity that the scouts under Marin's nose are better than dogs. Coupled with the telescope, all the bishop's spies were thrown off, or even killed. Therefore, who is Robert's father is still a mystery.
But if Marin entered the city of Rome with Robert, it would be easy to expose the relationship. Therefore, for safety reasons, Marin and Caesar stayed in Siena for a few days with a large team. And Robert, long before arriving in Siena, rushed to the city of Rome with a group of scouts in advance.
After deliberately repairing for a few days, and checking the account for a few days in a fake manner, Marin took Caesar and continued south. Robert had already lived in Rome for a week when they arrived in Rome.
That night, in the secret room of the Lateran Temple, Marin and the Pope's father-in-law secretly discussed the specific steps of cooperating in acting, while plundering the population of the Grand Duchy of Moscow and also gaining some political benefits. Julius II expressed doubts about whether Marin could defeat the Grand Duchy of Moscow, but Marin told him that the secret musket used by his subordinates could hit a hundred shots and would definitely defeat the enemy, so the Pope dispelled his doubts. The next day, Marin was still in a certain barracks, and personally demonstrated to the Pope that a slug hit the target three times in a row at a distance of 100 meters. So far, Julius II has completely let go of his worries.
On the third day, under the planning of Marin, Julius II personally took Robert to the private residence of Cardinal Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici. Under the witness of everyone, let Giovanni Di Lorenzo de Medici accept Robert as a student. And Marin is also on the list of guests invited by the Medici family.
Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici couldn't help but be overjoyed when he learned that the Pope was going to publicly entrust his grandchildren (in fact, many people knew they were his own grandchildren) to be his students. Because, this means that the Pope has publicly expressed his support for himself.
Before, Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici knew that Robert was Marin's illegitimate son. However, his promise to Marin was actually a little doubtful and a little uneasy. After all, it wasn't something the Pope himself promised. But this time publicly giving Robert to himself as a student made Giovanni Di Lorenzo de' Medici confirm that the Pope was willing to praise himself.
His previous worry was not that he suspected that Marin's words were false, but that he was not the only one who had chosen the Pope. You must know that when some popes choose an heir, they will choose more than one person. Until the end, it will not be determined who will succeed.
However, this time Julius II publicly gave his "grandchildren" to be his students, which means "entrusting the orphans". After all, His Excellency the Pope has not been in good health for the past two years, and he doesn't know how many years he can live.
Sending relatives and grandchildren at this sensitive time is no less than an official announcement that he is the next pope. Although, the current pope cannot officially designate who will succeed him. However, his statement also has a great influence on the next candidate. In addition, there is Marin, the God of Wealth - he is the father of his student Robert!
...
Then, at the disciple acceptance banquet, a very interesting thing happened - as his own brother, Caesar interacted with Robert as the heir of the North Sea Kingdom after the disciple acceptance ceremony. Because Marin taught before, this time Caesar pretended to see Robert for the first time, and communicated politely with Robert in Latin throughout the whole process. Robert, who had also been trained as a mentor, also pretended to be a stranger to Caesar.
Then, under the witness of many guests, Caesar and Robert announced in public that they had become "alliance brothers" and announced that they would support each other in the future. And this is precisely the most important goal of Marin's banquet!
Robert will run for Pope in the future, and Caesar will definitely pay for it at that time. However, you can't support it for no reason, right? Therefore, it seems reasonable to create a story about them being sworn brothers in their teenage years.
Moreover, even if someone finds out that Robert and Caesar are playing together in the future, it will be fine. After all, they are sworn brothers, isn't it normal to play together? Even if someone finds out that Robert has appeared in the North Sea King's Palace, it can be said that he went to visit the brothers.
You know, after this apprenticeship ceremony, Robert will officially enter the public eye. After entering the public eye, it is inevitable that people will be found haunting the King's Palace in Beihai. After all, the North Sea State has a close relationship with the Holy See, and it is inevitable that people from Rome will come to the North Sea State on business. But if he and Caesar were allies, no one doubted it. After all, it's not impossible to visit or even live in the home of one's sworn brother...
