Continental Warriors Yoo Ma

So even though both Chalons and Marcy lost a lot, Charles VII insisted on holding another celebration feast to show off France's victory to the whole of Europe.

It's just that Queen Anjou did not attend this important banquet, and Charles VII left early after staying for two hours.

Crown Prince Louis fell into a coma, casting a shadow over the victory.After examinations by doctors, herbalists, and priests in turn, the conclusion is that "the crown prince was only frightened, and he can recover after a good rest."

The queen was worried about her son and did not attend the banquet.Originally the heroine was supposed to be the royal mistress Agnes Sorel.However, this radiant beauty that men will never forget has no interest in feasting.Halfway through the banquet, she ran to the balcony and cried in the night wind.

Chapter 110 Three Knows Everything

"Count of Rouen, this is a good opportunity. Don't you want to taste the first beauty of France?" The mellow body of Palazzo Georges rolled over to Youf Ma, winking.

"Not interested." Youfu Ma shook his head.

As the biggest hero of this Sharon defense battle, Ma Youfu is undoubtedly the male protagonist of the banquet.There are many noble women who are secretly sending good news to him.As long as he wants, he will not lack a bed partner tonight, even if he wants to do multiplayer sports, it is not impossible.Why risk offending both the king and the queen to provoke Agnes?

The fat man pushed himself to get close to Agnes, obviously not at ease.

"It's a pity. Madam Agnès is at a vulnerable time. If the rich Count of Rouen is willing to help, he will definitely be caught." The palace minister shook his head and sighed.

"Agnès has no money?"

"It's not just Agnès, this battle has also cost our King a lot. When we evacuated in the early morning, we left in a hurry, and we didn't have time to take away many of the property in the castle. Then, the woolen soldiers ransacked this place. Ha. , those greedy ghosts are shrewd and know to choose this castle."

When Charles VII came to Chalon, the accompanying team consisted of two hundred carriages, loaded with various luxurious daily necessities.From tables, chairs and bed cabinets to carpets and curtains, as well as a variety of gold and silver tableware, and so on.

The king's mistress also brought several carts of gorgeous clothes and various accessories.

"The 12 livre gold coins that were going to be used as rewards to the ministers were also taken away. The total loss of His Royal Highness is more than [-]..." the palace minister said in a low voice.

"His Royal Highness is used to comfort and luxury, and he doesn't want to live a hard life. So he will definitely try his best to make up for the lost items. In order to comfort Mrs. Agnes, he has to pay a lot of money." Fatty George Holding the wine glass, he said, "Last night's banquet, we still used silver cups inlaid with gems, and we have to use wooden cups tonight."

"Master Gong Xiang, are you here to tell me the king's gossip?" Youfu Ma didn't believe that the other party came to chat with him.

The Palace of Georges coughed and said in a low voice: "Count Rouen, don't you realize that? His Royal Highness has no money. Although he defeated the British today, he lost a lot of money. In a short period of time, he lost a lot of money. , I am afraid that there is no motivation to continue the war."

Yofu Ma glanced up and down at this fat political animal.He wouldn't underestimate the funny-looking Lord Chancellor, his brain was running fast, going through all the possibilities.

As the Count of Rouen, he definitely hopes that the war will continue, and strive to conquer the Normandy region as soon as possible, and the district will make his title of Count worthy of the name.

And Charles VII obviously did not want to continue fighting.Taking advantage of the favorable situation of the Faber Peace Negotiation and the victory of the Battle of Chalons, negotiating peace with the United Kingdom in exchange for an indemnity and several years of peace, the people can rest and recuperate, and they can also get rid of the poor life where most of their income has to be used as military expenses, and can enjoy it. It's a win-win.

Don't look at Charles VII's performance in the afternoon, where the king and his ministers meet each other, there are actually major differences between the two.

The Prime Minister of George Palace obviously saw this and wanted to make a fuss.

He has always been the representative of the Lord and the faction, and is in charge of the tax collection power in the south of France. His opinions have a decisive influence in the heart of Charles VII.

If you want to continue fighting, if you have the support of George Palace, the resistance will be much smaller.

After figuring this out, Youfu Ma said straight to the point: "Lord Gong Xiang, tell me, what do you want?"

A smile appeared on the chubby face of George Palace: "Count Rouen, I knew that you are a smart person and can understand what I mean."

He stretched out two stubby fingers and said, "Give me 20% of the North French Trading Company, and I will help you persuade the king to continue the war."

After learning about the establishment of the North France Trading Company in Troyes by Yoo Ma, the Minister of the Palace conducted a careful study.It was a brilliant idea, he found, and not only quickly took over the Champagne trade fair, but also raised a lot of money with ease.

He also wants to follow Ma's lead and set up a new trading company elsewhere.But after careful inspection, it was found that there was no suitable place for him to establish a second trading company in the area controlled by Charles VII.

In this case, it is better to join the North France Trading Company.

Youfu Ma patted the palace minister's belly and said with a smile, "Lord Palace minister, you have already eaten a lot, so you have to be careful. 20% of the shares, it's a shame you have the courage to say it."

"Even if I get 20% of the shares, you won't lose control of the company, Count of Rouen." Gong Xiang said nonchalantly, "If you refuse, then I can only do my best to facilitate the peace talks between the two countries."

Seeing the fat man spread his hands and put on a fearless look, Yoo Ma said with a sneer, "You can do what you want, Mr. George. But you should understand that in Notre Dame de Vauong this afternoon, your performance Your Highness. But keep it in mind.”

"Haha, is there anything wrong with my performance?" George Palace smiled coherently, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

Of course he knew that his performance was very inappropriate!

Maybe no one cared about it at the time, but if you think about it carefully afterward, anyone can see how disgusting the Prime Minister of George's rush to come forward and flatter the British.

Perhaps Charles VII won't say anything on the surface, but he must have stabbed a thorn in his heart.

"Master Gong Xiang, you should think more and look a little further. Don't just stay on the main battle or the main peace. Whether you support me or not is related to your own vital interests. Don't be short-sighted, just stare at The gains and losses of a few rivers." Youfu Ma patted Fatty George on the shoulder, "His Royal Highness the King will definitely reward the heroes of this battle. At that time, I hope you can uphold justice and make pertinent suggestions for His Royal Highness."

"Of course. We have cooperated happily before. I, Georges La Tremoyer, will not betray my friends." Gong Xianggan smiled.

Although he was annoyed by Yo-Fu Ma's rejection, he didn't want to turn against the other party directly.It is better to maintain a relationship of superficial friends.

"Count of Rouen, with our relationship, why don't you just say it directly. What exactly do you want, and what do you intend to offer as a reward?"

Youfu Ma smiled and said, "I can't go into detail about this, anyone who understands it understands it."

After being the Riddler once, Yoof Ma turned and left, and was soon surrounded by a pair of noble sisters from Burgundy.

The palace minister frowned, drank the wine in the glass, and then called his cousin Gilles de Re, and returned to the accommodation.

"Gill, bring the map of France," said the palace minister.

Gil De Rey took out a beautifully detailed map, spread it out in front of the palace minister, and then stood quietly aside.

"You seem to be in a good mood?" Gong Xiang asked.

"Of course. Can I be unhappy that so many British people have died?" said the black-haired youth with a smile.

"If your reinforcements can arrive at Sharon earlier and join the battle, I will be happier!" Gong Xiang said angrily.

As the second-ranking figure of the Gong Xiang faction who holds military power, Jill arrived late after today's war, and he didn't even have to fight soy sauce. He missed an opportunity to gain military exploits and consolidate his reputation in vain.

Jill spread his hands and smiled: "You know I'm not a military genius. Even La Haier can't compare, let alone others."

Gong Xiang had nothing to do with his cousin, he just sighed and continued to study the map.

Yofu Ma said let him look farther.But it is a pity that Georges La Tremoyer, who is good at financial management and corruption, and who understands court conspiracy very well, has no outstanding talent in the general strategic trend.

This is determined by birth and education.

Fortunately, there is someone in the house who can discuss with him.

The palace minister asked, "Jill, what do you think will happen to the situation after the Faber peace talks and the victory of the Battle of Chalon?"

The young French marshal pondered for a moment and said, "The rest is unclear. But those guys who used to watch between Britain and France should now be able to see the situation clearly and quickly fall to our king."

Inspired by the palace minister, he looked down at the map, his eyes fell on the Principality of Brittany in the northwest corner, and suddenly a shock!

"Seven saints, I understand what the count of Rouen means!"

If you want to say who is the biggest two-faced faction in the Hundred Years' War, it is always the first and the second, trying to join the stronger side and take advantage of the weaker side, then it must be the Principality of Brittany.

John V, Duke of Brittany, has been jumping from side to side between Britain and France.After he re-aligned with England in 1427, Richmond, the French knight marshal, the younger brother of John V who served for Charles VII, was also implicated and suspected by the king.

The Chancellor George, who was recommended by Richmond to enter the French court, saw the opportunity and immediately backstabbed, which eventually led to Richmond's expulsion in 1429.

Today, France and Burgundy have made peace, one less enemy, and the prestige of the great victory in the battle of Chalons has greatly increased.The Duke of Brittany is very likely to defect again, abandon England and ally with Charles VII.

By then, the Breton faction will surely gain momentum.And Richmond, who returned to France last year, will never let himself go.

By the way, don't forget Queen Yolande of Aragon.

Gong Xiang suddenly found out that because Yofu Ma changed the situation, he was about to face an extremely difficult situation.

"I wanted to work hard for a few more years to gradually solve the political enemies one by one. But the situation has changed far beyond imagination. Those enemies who want to eat my flesh are quickly recovering and growing, and even starting to unite together..."

George's stubby hands clenched into fists and slammed the table hard: "Damn Seris, I..."

I wanted to scold a few vulgar words, but Prime Minister George gave up.Looking at the entire French court now, after the Animayac faction was scattered, only the Count of Rouen and the Saintess who stood firm on his side were enough to counter the influence of the Breton faction.

He has to win over each other.

At this time, the palace minister came to recall what Yofu Ma said at the banquet.

Chapter 110 Four Resurrection

However, Georges La Tremoyer, a veteran politician, will not let the Serres do whatever they want.

He thought about it and said to Jill, "I remember you had a good relationship with Jeanne Dacque?"

"Why are you asking about this?" Jill was a little surprised.

"I want you to bring gifts and visit the Saintess. Let's just say that after years of war, the country needs to recuperate. From Champagne to Brie, to Chartres, Mann, Perche, you see abandonment everywhere The fields are barren, overgrown with thorns and bushes, and almost no human beings can be seen. I hope that the merciful saint will sympathize with the suffering peasants and let this land recuperate for three or five years.”

As long as the saintess's kind heart can be used to persuade her to turn to the Lord's Reconciliation faction, the main war factions in the French army will also die.At that time, Yoof Ma, who wants to regain his fief from England as soon as possible, will have to rely more on his influence in the court.

"It's a surprise. Last year, I strongly opposed Jeanna's march to Lance, and the Lord Chancellor, who is regarded as the biggest saintess opposition in the court, now actually takes the initiative to show his favor to the saints."

"That's politics, Jill."

"Okay, I'll help you."

The next morning, Gilles de Rey went to visit Joan of Arc with a precious gift and the ardent hope of the Chancellor of Georges.

At noon, when Gilles de Rey returned, he brought no good news.

"What did you say? That village girl refused?" George Palace couldn't believe it.

The young marshal said helplessly: "My lord, you still don't know Saintess. Although she is kind-hearted, she is a strong-willed person and will never shake her mind easily. She said that the only way is to drive all the British out of France. To end the war completely is the greatest kindness to the French people. We cannot let this war, which has brought great pain, continue because of momentary weakness and hesitation.”

Seeing Jill's adoring face, the George Palace was angry: "You are so pathetic, Baron Laval. A dignified nobleman is so weak to the village girl from Lorraine. You once gave out a large amount of property. Supporting her is her benefactor! It's better to be more confident! If you really like the Holy Maiden, you should use all the means of a man to conquer her!"

If the Prime Minister of George lived in modern times, he would have long ago reprimanded his cousin for licking a dog.

Jill's face changed, and he quickly denied: "I just admire and long for the saint, and have absolutely no blasphemous thoughts. What's more, I have a daughter."

George Palace snorted coldly.If he hadn't seen Jill's sadness, anger and anger from his soul after Joan of Arc was captured, he would have believed it.

A guy with no seeds, no wonder he can't compare to the Seris.

When Yo-Fu Ma gets the Holy Maiden on the bed, cry again!

After despising the weak Marshal Gil, Prime Minister George began to seriously think about how to deal with the great changes after the First World War at Chalons and survive the inevitable revenge from the Breton faction and the Queen Yolande faction.

On the first day after the war, in the small town of Chalon, everything was recovering in an orderly manner.

Charles VII is writing a letter to Jacques Cole, his big benefactor.

The queen stood beside the comatose Prince Louis, praying devoutly.

Gong Xiang calculated the gains and losses, and conspiracies emerged in his mind one by one.

Youfu Ma handed over the aftermath of the army to his subordinates, played poker with Joan of Arc and An Wen for a day, and then was posted with a note all over his face.

Citizens who survived the disaster found new, lucrative jobs—sweeping battlefields and burying bodies.

Ordinary soldiers were naturally transported to remote forests, where they dug a large pit and buried them.

And those deceased with status are well restrained, waiting for their families to redeem them, and then hold a decent funeral.
