Continental Warriors Yoo Ma

This kind of technique was learned by Ma Youfu from a certain eastern power who often assisted Africa in later generations.This has not only done good deeds, provided necessary help to people in need, but also brought orders to domestic businesses and stimulated the economy.

Of course, to receive the resettlement fee, the premise is that they must accept the arrangement of St. George Bank and settle down in the Maghreb.

Although Julia was apprehensive about being away from home, she had no choice.

If the Terene Manor can be sold for more than two thousand ducats, then she can get a resettlement fee of more than one hundred ducats.

This money can't do much in Italy, but in the Maghreb, where the vast land is sparsely populated, the holy mountains have created a lot of new cultivated land, but no one has cultivated it, it is enough to buy dozens of acres of fertile land and a comfortable small building. Then hire a few local farmers to live a life without worrying about food and clothing.

After listening to Jacob's explanation, the two Naples nobles couldn't help but marvel at Duke Bar's fantastic idea.It's just that after seeing the lovely and pitiful Ms. Julia, the minds of the two began to be distorted.

"Madam, I am very sympathetic to your experience. Although St. George Bank's policy is very good, you don't actually need to go to a strange land across the sea for those resettlement fees. I am willing to buy this manor and continue to pay I will take care of it for you. If you are willing to accept this suggestion, then we can find a time to talk in detail while tasting fine wine." Cacciola said.

Sergian who was next to him found that he had been preempted, and said quickly: "I can also buy this manor and continue to take care of it for you, Ms. Julia. And I can also take out three hundred ducats and give it to you for repairs. The broken facilities of the manor. It is sunny autumn, and tomorrow we can go to the banks of the Arno River, and discuss this matter while enjoying the scenery.”

There was nothing damaged in the Terene manor at all. Although the three hundred ducats were nominally for repairs, Sergian who paid for it actually had a purpose, and Cacciola next to him knew it well.

He was very angry.

In the past, the two were both the lovers of Jeanne II. In order to compete for favor with the queen, they used their own means and competed fiercely, and they got involved in a mess.

Unexpectedly, the queen was about to pass away, and he finally no longer needed to be chaste, and could freely pursue the woman he liked. This damned Sergian came to fight with him again, and even offered to raise the price by three hundred gold coins!

"My dear Sergian, I need to have a good talk with you." Cacciola grabbed Sergian's arm.

The latter was just a civil servant, and his strength was no match for Cacciola, who was a knight, so he had to be dragged by the other party to the outdoor garden.

Julia smiled awkwardly, a little overwhelmed.

Jacob seemed to have seen this kind of male aristocrats jealous over women, and said: "Ma'am, it doesn't matter if you are willing to accept the pursuit of one of the two gentlemen. In some people's eyes, being able to stay in Italy , is better than going to the distant Maghreb."

Julia gave Jacob a slight bow and said, "Mr. Jacob, I would rather go to the far south than stay here. In my opinion, the various plots and schemes hidden in the bustling Florence are better than those in North Africa." The sandstorm is even more terrifying."

"Very few women have your judgment and determination." Jacob praised, "If so, then I will help you persuade those two gentlemen who are dazzled by desire."

Jacob came to the garden and heard two men quarreling from a distance.

"Cacciola, you say you're only interested in Ms. Julia because she was married?"

"Is there anything strange? The Duke of Bar also likes other people's wives. I just want to learn from the Duke."

"absurd!"

"Absurd? Your proposal just now is absurd! You actually want Ms. Julia to be our joint mistress! Let me tell you, I don't want to share anything with you anymore!" Cacciola said, with The resentment of being forced to be Cavebrothers with Sergian for decades.

"Since you don't want to share, let's compete fairly." Sergian also became angry.

The two have been fighting for so many years without a draw, this time he has to win the other side.

At this time, Jacob jumped out suddenly and said, "You two gentlemen, please stop your unnecessary quarrel. I have an idea."

"What idea?" Cacciola and Sergian said in unison.

"Mr. Cacciola said that the Duke of Baal prefers married women, right?"

"Yes."

"And Lady Giulia is not only the most beautiful woman in Florence, but also married, and her husband is dead, isn't she?"

"Correct."

"Then, why don't you give her to the Duke of Barr? There are thousands of beautiful women, but the opportunity to be appreciated by the Duke of Barr is rare! In this way, the two don't have to fight each other and hurt each other's 'friendship' .”

The two Neapolitans sized Jacob up, and said in unison after half the pay: "Damn unbelievers, do you really have the talent for doing business? Just listen to you, and exchange for the beautiful Julia." An opportunity to be appreciated by the Duke of Barr!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

If you want to send a woman to the Duke, of course you can't simply tie her up and throw her on his bed.Sergian and Cacciola are nobles after all, so they should be a little more decent when they act.

The two discussed with Jacob and finally came up with a good idea.

Although this financial turmoil caused by the jihadist bond thunderstorm will not affect the whole of Europe or even the world like those financial crises in later generations, and even in Italy, only some people will be affected.

But in terms of absolute numbers, there are still a lot.

Most of those who went bankrupt by speculating on jihadist bonds were at least a well-to-do bourgeoisie who owned a manor or workshop.If something happens to them, there will be many civilians who depend on them for a living, and life will be unsustainable.For example, after the Terene Manor was to be sold, most of the farm laborers and servants working in the manor lost their jobs.

According to the policy formulated by Ma Youfu, if these people are willing to go to the Maghreb to seek a new life, they can also get a resettlement fee.Of course, the amount is relatively small, at most a few gold coins.

But even so, according to the estimates of St. George Bank, the total number of bankrupt and unemployed people who are willing to go to North Africa with resettlement fees in the entire northern and central Italian regions is at least [-].

Don't underestimate this number.

According to the standards of future Huaxia, this may only be a population of the size of a township.But in this era, it is equivalent to the population of a medium-sized city.

With such a large number of people, it is of course impossible for all of them to be organized and managed by officials sent by Ma Youfu.St. George's Bank will choose capable people from among these immigrants to self-govern.

Jacob can tell from the conversation with Julia just now that this is a woman who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Although she is not valued in the Baldi family, she is also born in a famous family. The aura of identity brought by her education and blood, All can make her qualified for the position of leader.

Jacob used his personal connections, and Cacciola and Sergian contributed money and efforts, and he would definitely be able to hold Julia to an important position in the "Maghreb Immigration Mutual Aid Committee".

As an important force in stabilizing the layout of Magri, these immigrants will definitely be valued by Ma Youfu after they arrive at their destination.As an important figure among immigrants, Julia has many opportunities to communicate and meet with the Duke of Barr.When the time comes, let's add fuel to the flames, can Ms. Julia escape the "claw" of the Duke?

After all, the Duke of Barr has long been famous for his preference for wives.

After the matter is completed, if he intentionally or unintentionally reveals a little word of mouth, let the Duke know that it was Sergian and the three who contributed to this beautiful fate, and the reward must be indispensable.

However, after the three of them worked together to come up with a plan to sacrifice their daughter, Sergian and Cacciola quarreled again.

Although the beautiful Ms. Julia can give up, the manor still has to be contested.

In the end, it was Jacob who came forward to mediate and let the two reach an agreement.

Sergian offered thirteen hundred gold coins to buy the main house and the vineyard.And Kazio pulled out [-] gold coins to buy the hilly olive grove that occupied half of the entire manor.

After the two sides reached a verbal deal, Sergian couldn't help but glance at Jacob.

Although this unbelievers with a big nose does give people stereotypes such as being cunning, shrewd, and good at doing business, the ability he displayed is not as simple as a simple bank employee.

"Mr. Jacob, you don't just work for St. George's, do you?"

"As expected of the royal steward of the Kingdom of Naples, your sense of smell is very keen." Jacob said "I won't pretend, I'll show my cards", "The bank clerk is just my side job. My main job now is Under the command of a beautiful lady, she will provide intelligence support to the Duke."

"I heard that Giovanni, the former head of the Medici Bank, wanted to buy time to withdraw from the bond market by blocking the news of the defeat of the Eastern Crusade. But he failed. The news of the defeat is still It quickly spread throughout Italy, causing the prestigious Medici Bank to suffer heavy losses. You should be responsible for this, right?"

Jacob smiled without saying a word, and did not answer directly.

The three chatted and left the manor.Just as he walked to the gate, a raven suddenly landed on Jacob's shoulder.

The big black bird croaked twice at Jacob, and the latter's expression changed suddenly.He looked at the two Neapolitans and said, "Your Excellency Caciola and Sergian, after you have paid the deposit for the purchase of the manor, you'd better return to Naples as soon as possible."

"Why, we still want to go shopping in Florence."

"This city has been hit by the financial turmoil, and I'm afraid it will be depressed for a while. Even if you two want to experience the prosperity and artistic atmosphere of Florence, now is not the time. Return to Naples in time, maybe you can get the chance to fight under the command of the French saint .”

Cacciola's eyes lit up, reading the breath of war from Jacob's words.

After Sergian pondered for a moment, he turned his gaze to the towering bell tower on the Vecchio Palace in the distance.

It was the symbol of power of the Medici family in Florence.

……

At this time, Ma Youfu didn't know that because of his reputation as a "good wife" that was widely spread by rumors, someone was secretly planning to send a beautiful woman to his bed.

If he knew about this kind of thing, he would definitely say very seriously: "Please come more!"

Well, the above is just a joke.

Mayouf, who was in Annaba at this time, was working in a mansion left by a certain Tunisian emir.

Because of the defeat of the East Crusade, the battle situation has been changing rapidly, so he has a lot of things to deal with during this period. It would be nice to be able to feed his old lovers while he is busy, and there is no time to find a new woman.

At this time, Ma Youfu was sitting behind a large desk, listening to Bernard's reports gathered from various places.

Now, the Mulholland coalition forces are busy regaining the territory previously occupied by the Eastern Crusaders, and their forces are scattered and attacking everywhere.

If Ma Youfu couldn't even seize such an opportunity, he wouldn't be considered a qualified general at all.

When Emperor Shinra was chased by Uzun Hassan all the way and fled south, Ma Youfu had already started the army assembly work.

Now, [-] troops have already assembled in Annaba through the sea route.

Among them, six thousand belonged to the elite troops of Ma Youfu's direct line.

Including Ma Youfu's troops, the French Crusaders had a total of [-].

Breton heavy cavalry, two thousand.

Burgundian Crusade, sixteen thousand.

Portuguese Crusaders, five thousand.

Castilian Crusaders, nine thousand.

Excluding the losses of the previous series of battles, plus the defenders that must be left behind, this is all the strength that the West Crusaders can use.

This time, Ma Youfu wants to stud them all and win the final victory of the Crusades.

There are many excellent military talents in the Mulholland coalition army, and of course they will not ignore this powerful crusader who is staring at the west.

This time, the Mulhollan people changed their previous strategy of defending Tunisia city, and arranged a series of defensive strongholds within a range of [-] kilometers outside the city, preparing to consume the crusaders' strength and attack Vigor, and finally, a decisive battle under the city of Tunisia.

Among them, the key defensive stronghold is the port of Bizerte, about [-] kilometers north of Tunisia.

According to the past practice of the Western Crusades, Mayouf may choose to march along the northern coastline of Tunisia in order to rely on the navy to transport supplies.

In this case, the Western Crusaders will definitely capture Bizerte, and then use this as a forward base to attack the city of Tunisia in the south.

The port of Bizerte faces the sea to the east, Lake Bizerte to the south, and the Kobir Mountains to the north - the easternmost point of the Tel Atlas mountain range.

Such a terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition to the [-] Mulholran jihadists stationed here, Ma Youfu may have to pay a lot of money if he wants to capture it.

In addition, in the Tel Atlas Mountains to the west of Tunis City, the fortresses guarding the main roads in the mountains are also stationed with considerable troops, and the fortifications are constantly being strengthened.

If you take the easier route in the coastal area, you will have to face Bizerte, a city that is heavily defended.Taking the mountain road to attack the city of Tunisia, it is necessary to slowly and painfully gnaw down the fortresses while enduring the poor supply line.

Neither option is very good.

So Ma Youfu decided to go directly south and attack the holy mountain of Mulhollan.

The tortoise is hard to kill in its shell, so lure it out.

If the Mulhollan people cannot sit back and watch the holy mountain be captured and want to send troops to rescue, they can use the classic siege to help.If the opponent is still calm and continues to stick to Tunisia, then Ma Youfu will not be in a hurry. He can simply use his tactics and start to erode the territory of the Tunisian Sultanate step by step, and finally deal with the enemies who are trapped in the isolated city.

He not only possesses military superiority, but also naval superiority, and as long as he makes no mistakes, he will eventually win.

"My lord, [-]% of the army's supplies have been in place, but only [-]% of the gunpowder has been supplied. It is estimated that it will take twelve days until the arrival of the next batch of transport ships to reach the [-]% ratio of the basic combat readiness standard." After reporting this matter to Ma Youfu, Bernard finally mentioned the issue of supplies.
