Chapter 873 The Dramatic Changes in Northern Italy
Adrian Casanova was covered with the blood of the Medici family.
However, under the joint suppression of the Austrians and the Holy See, his father's bloodline was not recognized. Even the inheritance of the Medici family, his father failed to get a son.
The Medici family is the real master of Florence, the core area of Tuscany!
Half a century ago, Anna Maria's younger brother, Gian Gastone, died, and the Medici family was extinct.
Relying on its strong influence on Italy, Austria forcibly rejected Anna's inheritance rights to the Tuscan throne with the cooperation of the Holy See, robbing Tuscany into the hands of the Habsburg family.
Now Casanova and his grandson are the last bloodline of the Medici family in this world.
Mr. Hahn was a captain of the French Intelligence Agency, and his mission was to bring Casanova back to Tuscany.
After Hahn gave a brief explanation, Casanova was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
After a long time, he glanced at his thin grandson and finally nodded: "Okay, I'm willing to go with you."
He remembered another thing and hesitated, "If you could take the paintings in my house, I would be grateful to you all my life."
"Drawings?"
"It was my birthday gift from my grandmother when I was a child." The old man said, "The works of masters such as Botticelli, Canaletto and Boucher are not their famous works, but they are also very artistically valuable."
These names made Hahn swallow - these people's paintings could be sold for more than 100,000 francs when they were taken to Paris.
Anna Maria is the most famous collector of art in Europe. She devoted most of the Medici family's wealth to purchasing art. But her collection is currently almost all in the Florence Gallery.
In fact, these paintings in Casanova's hands are the reasons why he was framed. "Okay, I will do my best to bring the painting to you." He nodded.
Three days later.
Casanova sat in the "Gem VI" carriage and headed for Florence. The back of the car was filled with the four paintings of the art master.
On the same day, in the "Treviso News", news was published that Albercio, the local snake who killed Casanova, was killed in his home.
The murderer did it very cleanly and left no clues.
This is a small gift Hahn gave to Mr. Casanova.
…
Northern Italy.
The Principality of Palma, Piacenza.
Amid the intense and majestic military music, the Genoese Legion, dressed in white military uniform and fully equipped with French equipment, passed by the viewing platform under the command of a lieutenant colonel.
Napoleon's eyes swept across the not-to-order queue, turned to the prince's special envoy, Viscount Durand, whispered: "You know, it takes a lot of troops to surround Mantua. Just leave this kind of thing to the Sardinian army, and they are just staying in Brescia and doing nothing."
According to the resolution of the Mediterranean Security Organization, the armies of each member state have gathered in Piacenza.
Parma, who sent the most troops, sent 4,000 soldiers, and Luca, who had the least troops, only 800 mercenaries were sent.
The total force is above 10,000.
Virded Durand brought the prince's order, asking Napoleon to mobilize 5,000 troops to participate in the security organization's operations.
The targets are naturally Tuscany and the Papal state. Viscount Durand shook his head and said, "You should have noticed that His Highness deliberately excluded Sardinia from this operation."
Napoleon wondered, "Why is this? Sardin's military strength is the strongest in Northern Italy."
"Balanced." Viscount Durand smiled, "The army of Sardinia can defeat the Pope, and then they will form a strong suppression of other countries. And His Highness hopes that all countries can get along with each other equally. "Of course, the obvious reason is that Sardinia declared war on our country, which is a punishment for this matter. "
"Okay," Napoleon said reluctantly, "Then I will assign the Nemore Legion to the Security Staff.
"But I suggest recruiting some mercenaries from Flemish. You know, they are Protestants, and it is more convenient to fight the Holy See."
"Okay, I will report your suggestions to His Royal Highness."
Viscount Durand nodded and said, "By the way, General Bonaparte, Vienna has issued a mobilization order, and an army will probably reinforce Mantua soon. Your Highness asks you to prepare in advance.
"After you win this battle, you should be a major general. "
"Thank you for your trust, I will never let him down! ”
A week later, the coalition forces of France, Palma de Modena, Genoa, Luca and Baden launched an attack on Ferrara, the northwestern province of the Pope.

At the same time, Adrian Casanova de Medici, the heir of the Medici family, arrived in Modena - this place is only 40 kilometers away from Florence.
Tuscany and Modena are neighboring countries and often fight each other, so Modena seems very enthusiastic about him, the original owner of Florence.
Many old subordinates of the Medici family had already arrived after hearing the news. In just a few days, more than 700 soldiers gathered around Casanova.
Well, everyone doesn't care whether Casanova has an illegitimate child.
As long as he has the blood of the Medici family shed, and France stands for him, he will be the real heir to the Medici family!
With this identity, it would be right to follow him to fight for the future.
Immediately, Casanova commissioned his spokesman at the Palace of Modena that he had announced in public that Florence, currently stolen Florence, had no right to rule Tuscany.
Owned to represent the Medici family and drive away the Habsburg invaders!
At the same time, he applied to Tuscany to join the Mediterranean Security Organization and the Iberian-Apennine Common Market in the name of the Grand Duke of Tuscany.
The supporters of the Medici family suddenly burst into joy, and the celebration continued until late at night.
The Palace of Versailles also passed the Shapu Signal Tower, and the application for the new Tuscany was officially approved two days later.
…
The number of troops in the security organization is not large, and with the French Moor Corps, there are only 15,000 soldiers.
The combat capability is definitely not strong, and half of the strongest Nemoor Legion are recruits.
But even so, the Pope still shocked.
The slogan of "Let the Holy See return to piety" began to spread throughout the Papal Kingdom.
The Cologna family and the Orsini family, who had already had opinions about the Holy See, began to gather their own forces in various provinces, and openly responded to the Mediterranean security organization and announced their escape from the control of the Holy See.
Even in the city of Rome, the "Roman Autonomous Organization" began to move where the Holy See's Guards did not notice.
St. Paul's Cathedral.
Pius VI and nearly 30 cardinals gathered in the Grand Mass Hall, discussing with concern how to correspond to the current situation.
