Although the Pope had previously communicated with the monarchs of various countries who were willing to participate in the Crusade through letters, he roughly divided the Southern Expedition into three routes: left, middle, and right, based on the principle of proximity.But such a rough strategy is obviously not acceptable.Moreover, many monarchs only verbally agreed to this plan, but no one knew what they planned in their hearts.

Enren IV studied the success and failure experience of the previous Crusades, and believed that the participants of the Crusades fought on their own and hindered each other, which was the biggest disaster that led to the failure of this great cause.Enren IV, who has fully learned the lessons of history, hopes that the Tenth Crusade will not repeat the same mistakes.That's why he had to hold a meeting of unprecedented scale before the Southern Expedition was launched, and clearly stipulated the routes of the crusaders going south, their attack targets, and the division of forces after the war.

It is said that the Mulholland camp supports the huge fleet of the three countries of the Maghreb, and has already been stationed in Tunisia, and even had a brief conflict with the fleet of the Marquis of La Manche.Facing the prepared strong enemy, His Excellency the Pope knows very well that the countries of the Seven Holy Cults must unite and coordinate in order to win in the end.

The guests who participated in this conference included Emperor Sigismund of Shinra, King Charles VII of France, Philip III, Duke of Burgundy, King Alfonso V of Aragon, King Juan II of Castile, King Joao I of Portugal, Queen Jeanne II of Naples, Governor Rinaldo of Genoa, and Governor Francesco of Venice are the leaders of these Western European powers.

As for the other princes attending the meeting, as well as the great nobles of various countries, there are countless.

Although the Holy See is full of ills, the Pope is still the bearer of the fruit of face. The lords of Western Europe have to respond to the call issued in the name of faith.

Although Ma Youfu was not the king of a country, he was treated the same as other kings.This is also because he not only has great strength, but also easily defeated the undead pirates before, which greatly shocked the Italian states including the Papal State.

Since the Pope is so knowledgeable, Ma Youfu must also go to Rome.And then I am afraid that troops will be sent to the Maghreb immediately.So before leaving, he wanted to thoroughly confirm his relationship with Isabel.

He knew that the relationship between himself and the Duchess was not purely between a man and a woman, but also mixed with many political interests.So if you want the glamorous Duchess to spread her legs willingly, the most effective way is to satisfy the other party's political demands.

So when having dinner with Isabel, Ma Youfu directly threw out a proposal that shocked her: "Isabel, do you want Little John to be king?"

"King? Are you kidding me?"

"Of course not. I know that your husband, René, is now the first heir to the Kingdom of Naples..."

Hearing Mayouf mention René I, Isabel's cheeks blushed quietly.Talking about her husband with her lover always made her feel immoral.

In order to defeat the undead pirates in one fell swoop, the military operation planned by Ma Youfu, Joan of Arc and others not only achieved great success, but also inexplicably saved the Kingdom of Naples from danger.In the court of Naples, a group of "horse blowers" suddenly appeared, encouraging the elderly Jeanne II to list Ma Youfu, who was originally incapable of fighting, as one of the heirs of the kingdom.

After receiving this news from Jeanne II, Ma Youfu was not only unbelievable, but also quite happy.Maybe if you operate well, you can wear a crown yourself, and you will be on an equal footing with other European monarchs ever since.

But after the excitement passed, he thought about it for a while and decided that this was not a reliable idea.

It is definitely not easy for a foreigner like myself who has nothing to do with Naples from blood relationship to culture to secure the throne of Naples.From nobles to civilians, they will definitely have doubts or even resistance to him as the king.

If there is further instigation and intervention by external forces, Ma Youfu will be in even greater trouble.

If he wants to finally firmly secure the throne of Naples, he may even use force to suppress and eliminate it.In this way, the cost of input is too much.

The most suitable way is to establish a puppet king, and after having a buffer, he can completely control Naples through economic, political, cultural and other means.Only in this way can the maximum benefit be obtained at the minimum cost.

René I's eldest son, Mayouf's stepson John, is undoubtedly the best candidate for the king of Naples.

Chapter 410 Nine Queen's Teachings

René I was originally the heir recognized by both Joan II and the local nobles of Naples.Now that the heir is unable to bear the responsibilities of being a king, it is only natural to transfer his inheritance to his son.

Moreover, John is also a member of the Anjou family.Although Provence is not of the same line as the Anjou family in Naples, the relationship is quite close, and his blood is more likely to be recognized by the Neapolitans.

Isabel originally thought that after her husband's accident, the crown of Naples was no longer related to the family, but Ma Youfu's proposal made her see the light again.

But she knew very well that even if John wears the crown of the Kingdom of Naples, he must rely on Ma Youfu's support to secure the throne.Because they also faced the challenge of another powerful claimant to the throne, King Alfonso V of Aragon.

When René was still there, the Principality of Anjou was at a disadvantage in the battle with Aragon. Now René, the orthodox duke, is no longer able to govern. Without the help of outsiders, it is even more impossible to defeat Aragon.

Isabel understands that if Ma Youfu is to help the Valois-Anjou family with all his strength, besides his own body, he must come up with other things of sufficient value to make Ma Youfu tempted.

After thinking about it, she couldn't make up her mind.After dinner, Isabel rejected Mayouf's invitation, and returned to the bedroom alone, continuing to be in a dilemma about this choice that would determine the future fate of the Valois-Anjou family.

Just when the Duchess was so entangled and wanted to drink away her sorrows, the door of the bedroom opened, and an old lady with a dignified face walked in.

"Good night, Your Highness Queen Yolande."

Seeing that her mother-in-law was coming, Isabel quickly stood up to greet her.

Although she is always in a strong position in front of her husband, when facing this mother-in-law who can be described as "powerful" in all aspects, she can only show a respectful attitude.

"My dear, good night." Yolande nodded, sat down in front of the coffee table, and then made a look.

Isabel understood, and immediately sat obediently across from Yolande.

Who knew that as soon as she sat down, she heard Yolande ask a thorny question: "Honey, have you ever slept with the Marquis of Lamanche?"

"Your Highness, you misunderstood, I..."

"You are the one who misunderstood." Looking at the panicked expression of his daughter-in-law, Yolande said slowly, "I didn't come here to accuse you of your affair. My son made a big mistake, not only ruined Your own future has also put the Valois-Anjou family in crisis. Your marriage has existed in name only, and I will not ask you to be chaste like a nun."

"Then you..." Isabel tentatively asked with lingering fear.

"Except for a new man, what I want now is the same as you, and that is the continuation of the family and the future of the children, my dear." Yolande looked at the charming and beautiful face of his daughter-in-law, And that plump and fit body, showing approval, "Fortunately, you are a very beautiful woman. This is a very important weapon. According to my observations these days, you really realize that you should use this weapon, But it didn't work out."

"You mean, I shouldn't favor Ma Youfu too much, and I should give more opportunities to other suitors?"

"No. You should kick all the other men away! These suitors are either greedy, stupid, or both greedy and stupid, and they are useless at all." Yolande seemed to have seen through all of Isabel's plans, showing disdain Smiling, "End those little games you and Ma Youfu played as soon as possible. There is no benefit except wasting time."

"But Your Royal Highness, if I let Ma Youfu easily get what he wants, will I lose my ability to bargain with him?"

Yolande shook his head with a smile, and said in the tone of someone who has experienced it: "Honey, how women use their bodies as weapons is also skillful. Stupid women use themselves as toilets, which can be used by any man. Sly Women regard themselves as carrots hanging in front of donkeys, luring men to chase after them crazily, but they will not let them really get themselves. Smart women regard themselves as fine red wine, let men indulge in it after tasting it once in.

The chief mistress of the Parisian court was a wise woman.How many years had she been with Charlie?Why is the king still doting on her so much that he almost obeys her words? "

After talking about her own theory, Queen Yolande said again: "Of course, if you want to let a man taste good wine, you have to choose a good target. In my opinion, looking at the whole of Europe, there is no one better than that Cyris man. The right choice. To be honest, if I was 30 years younger, I would not mind climbing into the bed of the Marquis of La Manche for the sake of the family."

"Your Highness, you..." Isabel didn't expect that Yolande, who has always been strong and capable and excellent in dealing with affairs, would take such a fancy to Ma Youfu and even say such words.

"I have known Ma Youfu much longer than you. When Charlie held the imperial meeting, I also dealt with him in Paris. This man is very good at exchanging benefits. He can provide a lot for others while getting more for himself. Much. The future of the Valois-Anjou family is not on him, is it on your cousin who covets the title of the Duchy of Lorraine? Or on the naive heir of the Duke of Savoy?"

Speaking of this, Isabel was completely persuaded by Yolande and no longer hesitated.

She told Ma Youfu the suggestion he had made to him at dinner.

After hearing this, Yolande said, "Ma Youfu is willing to let my grandson become the king of Naples. He must have a lot of things. I even suspect that he wants us to exchange the entire Principality of Anjou."

Regardless of population or land area, Naples is stronger than the entire Principality of Anjou.Not to mention, the title of king is higher than that of duke.And compared to the Principality of Anjou, whose territory is scattered throughout France, Naples is easier to manage, and from a military point of view, it is also easier to defend.

In addition, the Kingdom of Naples was born out of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.Before the Sicilian Vespers incident, southern Italy and Sicily belonged to one country.

Obtaining the crown of Naples is equivalent to obtaining a legitimate claim to the whole of Sicily.

Maybe, the Anjou-Valois family can reproduce the glory of the second Anjou family and unify the whole of southern Italy!

From the perspective of interests, it is a good idea to exchange the Principality of Anjou for the Kingdom of Naples.Starting from feelings, Yolande also wanted to facilitate the completion of this exchange of interests.

Her husband, Louis II, had ruled the Kingdom of Naples for nearly ten years. In the end, because Charles VI went crazy, the Orleans faction and the Burgundian faction had internal strife, and lost support from France, he had to give up the kingdom in despair.

In addition, she believes that her lineage is the orthodox heir of the Kingdom of Aragon, not Ferdinand I, who was "illegally" elected by the Aragonese nobles, and his son Alfonso V.

If you can take Naples, which has been coveted by Alfonso V, and even take Sicily, wouldn't it be the best revenge for the enemy?

Thinking of this, Queen Yolande urged: "Dear Isabel, for the benefit of the family, and for your own happiness, I suggest that you lure the Siris to bed as soon as possible, and satisfy him as much as possible. I believe that in the future Your beauty is not difficult to make a man fascinated and fascinated by you. Then, we will talk about the throne of Naples. We can exchange it with the Duchy of Anjou, but the premise is that he must ensure that John ascends the throne of Naples, And provide force to protect the rule of the Anjou-Valois family there."

After finishing speaking, Yolande summoned a maid from outside the door and asked her to put down a bag of clothes: "This is the most popular new style in Paris, underwear made of a material called 'Neon'. Wearing them, Ma Youfu is sure Will be crazy about you."

Then, Queen Aragorn, who acted vigorously and resolutely, turned around and left.

Isabel opened the bag of clothes, and after seeing it clearly, she withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted, her face blushing.

Black full of mysterious temptation, exquisite lace decoration, extremely bold tailoring design, and light, elastic, almost transparent material...

Thinking of how she looked in this underwear, Isabel was a little excited.

After a rustling sound, the duchess, who looked dignified as usual, had already changed into the underwear that would be denounced as "shameless" by the moralists.

She originally wanted to wait until late at night before quietly "visiting" Ma Youfu, but she quickly changed her mind.

The duchess, who once went to the battlefield in person, acted very decisively. Now that she has made a decision, she might as well follow it to the end.Knowing her status as "Duchess", she is extremely attractive to men.Looking at the luxurious big bed where she spent every night with René I, she made up her mind.

Even, what lines should she say later, such as "You are much better than him", to tease the man's desire, she already has it in her heart.

Isabel called the maid: "Go ask the Marquis of La Manche, I have something important to talk to him about."

The maid quietly glanced at the sky outside the window, it was already completely dark.

It's late at night, isn't it obvious that the lonely men and widows have something to talk about?

It's just that the duchess is now a widow, so it's not a big deal to find another man.

The maid didn't dare to reveal her desire to pry into her master's privacy, so she responded respectfully and left the bedroom.

About half an hour later, the door was pushed open again, and Ma Youfu walked in.

"Good evening, Isabel. Come to me at this time, because you have something important to do." Ma Youfu casually found a chair and sat down, as if he was in his own home.

"Of course there is something very important." Isabel looked straight at the man and extended an invitation to him, "The chair is too hard, why don't you sit on the bed and let's talk slowly, okay?"

Chapter 420 Eternal City

The two leaned on the bed, and Isabel told Ma Youfu about the idea of ​​exchanging the Principality of Anjou for the crown of Naples that Yolande had discussed with herself.

This idea is right in Ma Youfu's arms.It's just that both parties have their own insistence on how to operate, and they need to continue to discuss and finally reach a consensus.

I believe that in the process of continuous, in-depth, frequent and enthusiastic "communication", those small differences will eventually disappear.

After reaching an agreement on interests, the Duchess also completely let go of her reserve, gently took off her clothes, and showed her most seductive side in front of the man.

"Isabel..." In front of such a beautiful scene, Ma Youfu felt his lips dry.

"My lord..." The Duchess stretched her long legs wrapped in black lace, and straddled Ma Youfu's arms, her tone was unprecedentedly tender, "Tonight, I am your most humble slave girl..."

Looking at the strong and heroic Duchess in the past, but now showing the weakest and submissive side, Ma Youfu will not be polite.

Soon, all kinds of imaginative and blushing voices sounded in the room.

I don't know how long it took, when the two were immersed in it, the door of the bedroom was pushed open by a small figure.

She walked into the bed, looked at the scene in front of her curiously, and asked, "Mom, what are you doing? Are you eating Uncle Ma's lollipop?"

Isabel immediately woke up from the sea of ​​desire, and fully demonstrated the agility developed by long-term training in martial arts.She grabbed her clothes and put them on like an electric shock, then threw the quilt casually to cover the man next to her.

Seeing Margaret staring at herself and Ma Youfu with her innocent eyes wide open, she was annoyed and funny, and hurried over to pick up her daughter.

"It's so late, why did you come to see your mother?"

"Ms. Amelina went home to visit relatives. I can't sleep without anyone at night..."

"Okay, mom will tell you a story." Isabel left the bedroom with her daughter in her arms.

Before leaving, Margaret, who was held in her mother's arms, turned around and waved to Youfu Ma: "Good night, uncle."

What a cute little girl, if she didn't disturb my good business just now, it would be even better...

Ma Youfu stayed alone on the empty bed, sighed, and secretly reminded himself: next time you must remember to lock the door!

……

At noon the next day, Ma Youfu, who had slept soundly with Isabel in his arms, woke up refreshed.

Although something went wrong in the first half of the game last night, the second half of the game was still exciting.

After having the closest relationship, Isabel's attitude towards Ma Youfu changed again, and she began to play the role of a good wife and helper naturally.
