The presence of Gina Brigitte intrigued Alexander, or rather, made him more interested.

As a European institution of higher learning on the same level as the University of Bologna, Alexandria is no less interested in the University of Pavia than the University of Bologna, and in some ways even more.

The University of Bologna has more extraordinary attainments in the humanities, arts and legal philosophy, which is of course of great significance for the establishment of a state power to send talents in the future, but for the time being, the role of the University of Pavia is more practical.

This is because the University of Pavia is the earliest science classification university in Europe today, and although many of the disciplines that were the predecessors of chemistry majors are still covered in various religions, Alexander will not forget that it was from the University of Pavia that the prototype of the science classification university in the modern sense appeared.

Among them, the most attractive for Alexander is the medical school of the University of Pavia.

This is known as the earliest specialist medical school in Europe with the most complete medical theory and practical education at the moment, if many Europeans still use the same way to solve their problems in other places, the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Pavia has already taken a step ahead of most people, and has begun to take a key step in the direction of pathological analysis, although primitive, but of great significance.

If all went well, the University of Pavia could have led the history of European medicine forward, and the fruits of modern medicine were born many years earlier, but the long Italian war did not save the university in the end, and Alexander remembered very well that in a few years the city of Pavia would have been greatly damaged due to its involvement in the war, and the University of Pavia would have suffered huge losses from the war, so that it had to be relocated to Piacenza and merged with the University of Piacenza at that timeIn the process, countless important documents and manuscripts will be lost, and the remnants of the Pavia Medical College are so badly damaged that even after more than two centuries, there are still people who are collecting as much as possible in order to gain inspiration and inspiration from them.

However, what impressed Alexander the most about the University of Pavia was that Leonardo da Vinci learned and understood the structure and secrets of the human body from the manuscripts of human anatomy that circulated at the University of Pavia.

Now that Gina Brigitte said that she had come to study at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Pavia, Alexander finally understood what she meant by being treated unfairly.

The University of Bologna is the only institution of higher learning open to women in this era, at least not the University of Pavia.

And that Gina Brigitte was still studying in medical school, which was enough to make her suffer more starbacks, maybe her classmate would have been slightly better off if she had come to study at the University of Pavia with her, but because of the trouble caused by Busacon's inexplicable jealousy, she had to come here alone.

Alexander could imagine that a single woman would have to enter not only an institution of higher learning, but also a study of medicine, which was taboo even for the vast majority of men, and the embarrassment of what now seemed to be a very mysterious science, and only by considering that Leonardo da Vinci had to secretly dissect corpses in a dark basement more than once, Alexander had some idea of the difficult situation faced by Gina Brigitte.

Discrimination against women is all too common today, even in Castile, where the queen rules.

Women can't go out of the house, women can't make decisions about their marriages, women are not even allowed to have their own personal property, maybe some noble ladies can get rid of this kind of subordinate status that is completely regarded as vassals, they can even become strong men to dominate, but there are too few such women, or even if they have such an identity, once they are united with a man who has the same status, they still have to choose to accept the reality of dependence on their husbands in a worldly way.

Queen Isabella was obviously an exception, but she was able to govern the country with her husband Ferdinand only because the Castilian nobles behind her could not tolerate their country being swallowed by Aragorn in one gulp, and her daughter, the future madwoman queen, was not so lucky, and what fate would befall her, Alexander could guess with a little thought.

Shaking his head slightly, throwing these distant reveries out of his head, Alexander looked at Oflaiyi who was hurrying in.

On the day that Montina's army entered Pavia, Alexander sent Gonpatti to lead the previous Northern Army to defend a bank not far west of the city, a tributary of the Pomi River, which was not wide and gentle, and a bridge to Pavia crossed the river, connecting the road from Pavia to Mede.

The Battle of Medai caused the Austrians huge losses, and the two heavy defeats made Maximian I begin to doubt his decisions on Italian affairs, but now that he has no way out, whether the Sforza family can continue to rule Milan has become the key to whether Austria can continue to exert influence in Italy, and Maximian does need the huge spoils of war now stored in Milan to solve his urgent need for money.

Therefore, for whatever purpose, he must repel the French as soon as possible, even if only temporarily, and prove through a victory that he still has undoubted rights in Italy.

The emperor's determination was great, and this came from some information he received.

Obviously, despite two successive victories, the French also paid a huge price, and the French army, which was inferior to the Austrians in terms of numbers, did not take the initiative to attack as before, but turned to the defense after the victory, which is enough to say a lot.

Medai was not far from Pavia, about 30 fathoms, and Alexander thought that perhaps soon the two rivals would know the movements of Montina's army, and the sudden appearance of Montina's army at this time would obviously make both sides quite suspicious, but Alexander did not care, he only asked Gompati to build a defense on the east bank of the Pomi River, while his eyes were already fixed on the farther away.

"I need you to do something, Oflei," Alexander said to the marching commander who was hurrying in, "and I want you to take a group of men with you before we leave Pavia. ”

Offrey looked at Alexander a little dazedly, and when he heard that he was going to take away the scholars from Pavia University, the marching captain nodded as if he had realized something: "Don't worry, my lord, since we won't be in this city for long, then we don't need to leave a good reputation here." ”

"That's not the case," Alexander stopped Ofleiyi's somewhat dangerous thoughts, "we still need a good reputation, you know, it may not be long before we come back, and I don't want to be turned away by the Pavians." ”

"But my lord, the people in the university may not want to leave," Ofleiyi was a little helpless, "if that we end up having to use violence." ”

"Of course, there is no way to do it, but be moderate and a little careful," Alexander pinched his two fingers together and made a small gesture, which made Ofrey a little helpless.

"Yes, my lord, but I have to tell you, those people are very stubborn, and I can only promise that nothing unpleasant will happen."

Alexander smiled, he was still reassured by Oflei, but remembering the trouble that Bussako had caused him, Alexander felt a little annoyed.

The rights of the University of Bologna were indeed sacred, which had been recognized by many rulers for centuries and were regarded as fundamental to the university's survival.

After all, he had the impression that Busako was not the kind of person who would look so crazy because of a woman, he was actually a very dull person who was very unemotional, let alone romantic, and it was this kind of character that Alexander had made him the commander of the huntsmen.

Busako may have made a good battle commander, but Alexander did not think that he could become a general who could stand alone like Gompati, it was due to his personality.

But now Busaco has a big problem for him, and the crux of this problem is that if he does not punish Busaco, then it means that he denies the rights that the University of Bologna has had for centuries.

"Perhaps, it can be compensated in some way." Alexander tried to think so, he knew that it would not be easy, but now it seemed that there was a good opportunity to obtain forgiveness from the University of Bologna.

"Be nice to those people," Alexander said again to Ofleiuil, "know that we will need them later." ”

When Gina returned to the small house she rented, it was already dark, and she dragged her tired body to the side of the bed with great difficulty, and then fell headlong on the hard bedboard.

It's been almost a month since she came from Bologna to Pavia, and she's had a hard time during this time.

Unlike in Bologna, where she doesn't have the same female companions as she is, and she doesn't feel strange or even outrageous at the presence of women on campus, everything here seems so oppressive, and the surname Brigitte makes her sometimes breathless.

Her father, Pebonne Brigitte, was a learned and widely respected master of law, and Gina knew it from the beginning, and what made her feel precious was her father's rare tolerance and understanding of women's knowledge.

In fact, even at the University of Bologna, not everyone is in favor of admitting women, especially in the seminaries, where many clergy do not have a better attitude towards women than in other places.

However, her father was a strong supporter of women's right to learn, not only because of the talent shown by his own daughter, who felt that it could not be wasted, but also through the exposition of jurisprudence, Pebony Brigitte repeatedly emphasized that this mastery of knowledge belongs to the inherent right of human beings, and should not be imprisoned by gender.

Gina felt that her father was great, and he even supported her to go to Pavia in order to study, but here she deeply felt the pressure and doubts from all directions, which sometimes made her wonder "Is it really right for women to learn knowledge?"

It might have been better if she hadn't come to Pavia Medical College alone, Gina thought, and felt an indescribable annoyance and anger at the trouble that the soldier named Busako had caused her.

As for the boy who was supposed to come to Pavia with her, Gina didn't think he meant anything special to her.

Gina wasn't interested in love and marriage, these things didn't interest her at all, and that was why she was even more annoyed.

But she's not an ignorant little girl who doesn't know anything but studying.

On the contrary, she has a smarter mind than the average person and knows how to put herself at an advantage.

The accusation of Busako's actions was in fact that Gina wanted to get Alexander's attention, so as to arouse the guilt of the young count and make his life a little better.

The reason why she thinks that Alexander is guilty rather than unimpressed by her situation is because she has inferred from the rumors about the Count of Montina that this man is not a rude nobleman.

This is evident from the surprising discipline shown by his army after the capture of Bologna.

Gina rolled over and touched the leather bag that had been thrown aside, it was empty and damp.

She remembered that because of her anger at the male medical students who despised her, she tore up all the study notes of the day in a fit of anger, which made her regret a little, after all, what she studied today was very important, especially those rare anatomy records, which were valuable knowledge that could never be learned anywhere else.

Pebonne Brigitte wants her daughter to be free to do what she wants, even if it's unlikely, but at least it's much better than girls who can't decide their future at all.

Gina Brigitte, on the other hand, chose to study medicine, a path that was not suitable for women in the eyes of others, after studying philosophy, art, and many other aristocratic women.

It's just that the process of studying is difficult, but the pressure of the world is even greater.

"I hope that earl is not in vain." Gina muttered quietly.

She struggled to get out of bed, went to the corner, picked up a barrel and went out the door.

It was cold, but Gina gritted her teeth and fetched a bucket of water from the bubbling well.

After boiling the water, Gina took off her wet clothes with some difficulty and wiped her body with hot water.

At this time, people did not know that unhygienic conditions can lead to bacterial overgrowth, and they did not know that unclean water sources were one of the main culprits of diseases and even plagues, but Gina had already noticed from many past records of plagues when she was studying at the University of Bologna that dirty conditions made people more likely to get sick, and a cleaner environment would at least make people healthier.

This made Gina interested in the causes of illness and contagion, even though these things were not suitable for a young woman, especially the process of cutting and tearing apart a corpse with specialized tools, which made many students feel very uncomfortable with one of them, but Gina was clearly enjoying it.

After carefully wiping her body clean with hot water, Gina walked out of the house with a dirty bucket that had changed a little color.

Just then, she saw a group of soldiers walking down the street in front of her house.

The officer who led the group looked young, and as she passed Gina, the officer politely nodded to her and led the group onwards.

Gina looked at the young officer's back with some bewilderment, she thought as if she had seen him somewhere, thinking that it must have been when she had just visited the Count of Montina, but she quickly forgot about it.

Gina never thought that soldiers were great, and unlike those aristocratic ladies who were obsessed with chivalric stories, in her opinion, soldiers had nothing to do but destroy, and even many of the glorious civilizations created in ancient times described in the books were dying out in war.

She carried the bucket across the street to the gutter, and Gina frowned slightly as she looked at the dirty water poured into the ice ballast gutter.

She thought it necessary to suggest to the Count of Montina that the city gutters should be cleared, and that the streets should be cleaned up of all the garbage that smelled choking even in winter.

But then she shook her head.

She knew that even if the Count was willing to punish the Busacco for her accusations, he would only do so because he had to keep the promise he had made to the University of Bologna for many years, and it would be a little too difficult to convince him to pay attention to the city's sanitation.

Although the performance of Montina's army seemed to be very different from the others, Gina did not think that the count was necessarily a person who could understand and understand what she was talking about, for these nobles, their money was used to buy weapons in addition to squandering, and then killing each other, wanting them to care about whether a city was clean, or to make them believe that keeping a clean environment would prevent plagues and epidemics, and even to make them waste their energy on these things, Gina thought she was somewhat whimsical.

The group in front of her had gone farther and farther, and then Gina saw that they seemed to be heading in the direction of the University of Pavia, which made her a little strange, but then she thought that it didn't seem to have anything to do with her, so Gina turned around and walked towards her hut with the bucket.

She was tired from the day, the cold eyes of the students, and even the teachers at school openly expressed their reluctance to teach "a woman", which had exhausted Gina, and now she just wanted to go back to the warm room and get a good night's sleep.

Unbeknownst to Gina Brigitte, the scene she had just seen would not only have a huge bearing on her in the near future, but that the fate of many people would change with this day.

On 6 January 1500, Alexandre Giulian Gombray, Count of Monttina, who had captured Pavia, declared his intervention in the Northern Italian War again on the grounds that the war in Lombardy had threatened the security of Romagna-Tuscany.

This was the first time that Alexander publicly issued a proclamation as the monarch of Romagna and Tuscany, and for a time Northern Italy was in turmoil, and the eyes of the whole of Europe were once again focused on northern Italy.

In contrast to this, Alexander's other order is less striking.

On 7 January, Alexander signed his first order of great significance after the capture of Pavia.

The University of Pavia is moving to Pisa.
