"Give the magic to the man who bleeds."

Ladislaus's wound had been bandaged by Sirica, and he asked Old John to treat the minor injury to the second son Petrucci, who was bleeding profusely.

At the same time, he gave an order to Consul Petrucci, who was kneeling on the ground and could once be called "Your Highness."

"Please clean up and re-clean the city as soon as possible, and then open the city gate."

Although he gave a magic trick and a "please", Ladislaus showed no delay or mercy in his work. He had to do all the dirty work before entering the city. Carrying out a massacre after entering the city was definitely political.

Incorrect, the cost is too high, but internal strife is not Ladislaus's responsibility.

"Have you heard what the Archbishop said? Go quickly."

Consul Petrucci showed no sign of dissatisfaction; he was as deferential as possible.

In any case, that magic did increase his son's chance of survival. His son could no longer swallow, and the recovery potion was useless. The few middle- and low-level priests in Siena City had already died.

In parliament.

After giving the order, all the members of the Petrucci family who could move immediately began to take action.

They now have no bargaining power.

Ladislaus continued to act with Consul Petrucci. There were several wealthy families that were deeply rooted in the Republic of Siena and owned land across the country, but those with no outside connections needed to be completely eliminated.

At this time, the relationship between most of them and the Kingdom of France was not very good, and those who had some relationship with the Roman Church State could naturally be preserved.

Of course, there is a family whose daughter is the "official mistress" of a French cardinal, so naturally it's not easy to do it too well.

The consul and Ladislaus had repeatedly studied which families should be annihilated, and basically ensured that there would be no sequelae.

The troops loyal to the Petrucci family took control of the streets, allowing the consul's elite squad to massacre house by house. Although several families still had considerable strength, and even encountered a fourteenth-level warrior, this

A gray-haired family head and more than a dozen family members resisted desperately for half an hour, and were besieged by more than a dozen people. Finally, the boss Sirica had his head smashed.

The battle lasted until evening.

Fortunately, the nobles all live near the inner castle, which is in the northwest corner of the city, so most residential areas and commercial areas were not seriously harmed.

In the evening, old Colonna led his troops into the city and began to restore order.

After being convinced that the overall situation had been decided, Cardinal Medici immediately led his army back north, not even entering the city of Siena. The Republic of Venice joined France in the war, which posed a great threat to Florence, a maritime republic that was also founded on maritime trade.

There must be arrangements.

More importantly, Emperor Charles V's troops reached the Apennine Peninsula before the French and Venetian fleets merged. The 12,000-strong army arrived at the Port of Pisa on February 1. In order to avoid a decisive battle at sea, the Spanish fleet really tried its best.

Although the efficiency was astonishing, a lot of supplies had to be left in Sardinia, so the Republic of Florence needed to provide supplies.

Although the Spanish Navy is undoubtedly the strongest in the world, its dozens of expensive battleships need to protect the interests of the Kingdom of Spain around the world. Not to mention that there is only a part of the Mediterranean. Even if the entire army is in the Mediterranean, the emperor will never let go.

Give it a try.

Although the Venetian Navy is at a clear disadvantage in terms of capital ship tonnage, the fleet is quite large. The total tonnage of this small city-state's navy is almost half that of the Spanish navy, the world's overlord. Because its warships have given up seaworthiness, the cost is higher than that of Spain.

The navy is lower and is the best choice for calm sea conditions in the Mediterranean.

It would be unwise to use a navy capable of traversing the oceans to engage in a decisive battle against the green water navy specially formed by the Republic of Venice for the Mediterranean sea conditions.

Even if victory is achieved, the weakened Spanish navy will inevitably find it more difficult to protect commercial routes. The Barbary pirates based in private ports in North Africa not only threaten the waterways, but also pose a great threat to the coastal towns of Spain.

For Old Colonna and Ladislaus, the next battle is a matter of life and death, but Siena's reception is also very important.

All key locations in the city were taken over by Roman soldiers. The old Colonna did not accept the residence of Consul Petrucci, but directly set up its headquarters in the inner castle. Anyway, the Siena deputies did not need this place to hold meetings.

Most of the captured civilian husbands were allowed to go home. Depending on the land division, nobles from the Church of Rome or the Republic of Florence would come to help them. They were serfs and the nobles needed them to cultivate the land.

Only the extremely lucky Baishi people were assigned their own land and became homesteaders. Old Colonna generously gave them a certain amount of food rations so that they could survive until the next harvest without borrowing money. These typical people had a certain influence on stabilizing the place.

potential value.

If the land they just acquired is immediately taken away by nobles or bankers because they cannot repay the loan, then their feelings for the new regime will naturally become water without a source.

Siena's army was disposed of in different ways. The private soldiers of several annihilated families were disarmed under the siege and surveillance of the Roman army that was several times their size. Most of the officers were to be found and eliminated, and only a few were soldiers.

Promoted junior officers can survive screening.

Most of the mobilized soldiers were not disbanded immediately, but were organized to dig ditches. Restoring water supply was the top priority at the moment.

First, we need to dredge the diversion port of the moat and restore the water quality of the moat.

Of course, many residents who drank the dirty water were already sick. In order to avoid large-scale epidemics, at the insistence of Ladislaus, Old Colonna forcibly removed a large number of residents from their homes and divided them into military camps outside the city.

live.

A lot of fuel was brought into the city so that residents and soldiers could have boiled water to drink. The bodies of the deceased were all transported outside the city and burned. Although many residents were very dissatisfied that they could not hold funerals, it was an accident that the invaders did not loot the city.

Overjoyed.

Old Colonna, who had obtained the Siena treasury and the private treasuries of several nobles, could issue enough bounties to maintain military discipline. He planned to summon the Marchioness Facchetti to the city of Siena, since he wanted to use this place as the family's home.

The base camp naturally wants to ensure the normal operation of the city as much as possible.

The work of restoring the groundwater went surprisingly smoothly. In fact, there was no work to be done at all. The crude ditches were washed away by the water. In fact, if the city of Siena held on for another three days, the situation would probably have improved a lot.

Life is full of possibilities.

In any case, the residents of the city did not suffer too terrible losses in this siege. Although the relocation organized by Ladislaus was cruel and even cruel to the patients, it ensured the lives of more residents.

The wealth of Siena was quickly taken over by the conquerors. The treasury managed by the consul Petrucci and the wealth of several perished nobles were divided into twenty parts. Ladislaus got one of them, which was the Four Thousand Towers.

Le, the Colonna family received three shares, the Church of Rome and the Republic of Florence each received eight shares.

Sirica and John each received a bonus of 500 thalers.

Although the Sibo family also contributed a lot, the property in the city was not divided. Their private soldiers could not even enter the city. Caligula's fuss about this was useless. Although Anna could reluctantly

There are activities, but they are not able to participate in too many activities, so their speaking power is greatly lacking.

It is said that Old Cibot returned to Rome and complained before the elected Pope, but this was not a big problem.

The Petrucci family was allowed to retain a portion of their land near Rome and most of their other property, but they first went to Rome to receive forgiveness from His Holiness the Elect Pope.

Another important source of income was the auction of some confiscated jewelry and ancestral property of the nobles. Ladislas entrusted all of it to Machiavelli, while he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the work of expanding the army.

The entry of the Republic of Venice into the war greatly worsened the position of the sorcerer royal family in the Apennines. Ladislaus no longer considered long-term financial issues, but only wanted to build a combat-effective army as much as possible.

This sense of urgency even reduced his enthusiasm for participating in seizing the wealth of Siye City, which was his favorite.
