Although Marlin detoured, he set off at the end of July, and he was a twin horse. Therefore, the land journey was not very long. After half a month, it entered Italy. Had it not been for a few days to cross the Alps, and it was all plain, Marin might have entered Italy within 10 days.

After entering Italy, Marin did not go to Genoa to take a boat. Because, Genoa turned to France. If the Genoese knew that they had gone there, wouldn't they have seized themselves to show their appreciation to Charles VIII?

Alas, Marin could only travel south along the Italian peninsula to the Kingdom of Naples, from there take a boat to Sicily under the control of the Kingdom of Aragon, then take a Spanish boat to Barcelona.

A few days later, Marin and others entered Naples. In order to obtain a ship to sea, Marin made his identity clear and asked Naples to provide a ship to Sicily.

Unexpectedly, this incident shocked Frederick IV, the current king of Naples. Frederick IV was the brother of King Alfonso II of Naples and the uncle of Ferdinand II. After Ferdinand II died, the throne fell to Frederick II.

The Kingdom of Naples has a good opinion of Marin, who almost supported the French king. Because, if Marin had not disabled the French army, they would not know when the French would make a comeback.

You know, Marin defeated the main force of the French army. Although he did not kill many people, he made the French pay a huge ransom of more than two million gold coins. As a result, the French will not be able to slow down financially for years. Without money, the French would not be able to launch another invasion of Naples.

Therefore, Marin was very grateful to the entire kingdom of Naples and treated him as a VIP.

As a little baron, the king invites you happy, can you still refuse? In desperation, Marin had to stay happy in the Naples Palace for several days.

A few days later, Marin came out of the Naples Palace and boarded a ship to Sicily ...

After arriving in Sicily, the Spaniards also treated Marin very well. Of course, Marin did not say to save Prince John, but to travel to Spain.

Umarin quickly boarded the ship to Barcelona. The kingdom of Aragon was small, but the areas under control were very fertile. For example, the more developed Catalonia region of Spain, and Sicily known as the "Golden Basin". Coupled with the charm of Ferdinand II, he joined the Queen Isabella I and successfully ruled the entire Spain, including Sicily and Sardinia in Italy.

巴塞罗那 In Barcelona, ​​Marin was also welcomed by Aragonese. Because the Iberian Peninsula is mainly bordered by the Kingdom of Aragon and France. As neighbors, the Aragonese and the French also had a lot of friction, and they inevitably hostile to the French. And Marin frightened the French king, which really made the Aragonese feel at ease. So, in Barcelona, ​​Marin also received a warm hospitality.

After getting rid of the enthusiastic Aragonese, Marin led his way westward and entered the kingdom of Castile. The Kingdom of Castile drinks very little in France, and there is a Naval in the middle of France. So they are less hostile to the French. Therefore, in Castilla, people are not enthusiastic about Marin. This also made Marin relieved. She really wanted to be held and entertained again. Marin estimated that he would miss the time to treat the prince.

When he came to Toledo, the capital of the Kingdom of Castile (70 kilometers south of Madrid, which was the capital of Spain until 1561), Marin asked if Prince John (sometimes translated as Prince Juan) went to Portugal as a guest. Already.

It turned out that Prince John ’s eldest sister, Princess Isabella, had been widowed after the accidental death of her first husband, former Portuguese crown prince Alfonso.

After the death of King Joao II of Portugal, lucky Manuel I succeeded to the throne. Manuel I also agreed with Joao II's plan. Because the two kings before and after were thinking about learning Ferdinand II and jointly governing the entire Iberian Peninsula.

公主 Although Princess Isabella is a widow, she is the eldest daughter of the King of Spain. If Prince John dies unfortunately or does not leave offspring, Princess Isabella will become the queen of the Kingdom of Castile and Aragon (provided that both the Spanish king and his wife have died) or the first successor. At that time, Manuel I may have the opportunity to unify the Iberian Peninsula.

Therefore, Manuel I did not despise Princess Isabella as a widow, and resolutely proposed to marry Princess Isabella, and held a wedding in Lisbon in September 1497.

Prince John, as the younger brother and heir to the two kingdoms of Spain, naturally attended the sister's wedding as a VIP. So, Prince John, including his wife, Princess Margaret of Austria, were in Lisbon at this time ...

In desperation, Marin had to wait patiently and began to recall the relevant details ...

After a whole night's recollection, Marin found that the information he had seen showed that Prince John had died in a place called Salamanca. This place seems to be located at the junction of the Kingdom of Castile and Portugal ~ www.novelhall.com ~ It seems that the prince was sick on his way back ...

Marin is now at the bottom of his heart, the prince is by no means a lung disease. If you are a patient with lung disease, you must be very weak and not able to go out to blow hair, let alone go to Portugal to attend a wedding. Therefore, the prince must be occasionally caught cold and cold, and got a bad cold, plus bronchitis or something. Of course, it may be poisoned by Portuguese King Manuel I. Because the prince did not die, the dream of Manuel I's joint rule of Spain could not come true ...

不管 But anyway, Marin thinks he should try it ...

Alas, Marin took the men to Salamanca near the border between the West and Portugal, where he stayed and waited for the prince to return.

At the same time, Marin found a jar and bought fresh aloe leaves. It is important to start pickling special recipes for treating lung diseases in case of accident.

Fearing that the prince might be poisoned, Marin has prepared some herbs for clearing heat and detoxifying. Originally, Marin wanted to use Banlangen. Unfortunately, Europe doesn't have this thing right now. So Marin stepped back and went to the river to get some reed roots and dried them for future use.

Reeds are cold, sweet, and have functions of clearing heat and refreshing fluids, removing annoyance, stopping vomiting, and diuresis. It is suitable for fever, injury, thirst, stomach vomiting, nausea, nausea, and treatment of lung heat, cough, and lung dysentery.

I just happen, the prince may have symptoms such as lung fever and cough, and this medicine is also symptomatic. Moreover, reed roots are easily accessible and available worldwide. Moreover, it is not very toxic and has little side effects.

Busy for a few days, Marin finally got enough medicinal materials, everything is ready, only owed to the Prince's disease number ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Welcome to book readers to read, the latest, fastest, most popular serial works Mobile users at ~ www.novelhall.com ~ please read.
