Chapter 328 Knife

The entire Europe was affected by the upcoming seventh religious war in France.

It is generally believed that the letter from the third brother of the Dharma King to King Navara was the fuse of the war, but everyone knows that King Navara's cuckold is not bad at all.

There are very few wars in this world caused by women, and women are just the fuse. The deep reason is that men really want to fight.

Chen Jiujing, who was on the verge of this war, could feel the hands of various countries extending to him. This power was extremely powerful, tearing his thoughts and making it difficult for him to control himself.

But he has an advantage. If it is difficult to control, he might as well just hold on.

He did not make any substantial promises to his mistress Margaret. Instead, Margo was put on an iron can and was crammed in the military camp and sweated profusely every day.

After Margo, Spain's Acosta arrived as promised and brought him an almost identical piece of intelligence, except that this piece of intelligence is more inclined to Henry, the Duke of Gith who fought with Spanish soldiers.

The Duke of Gith initiated a Catholic alliance in various parts of France, and the nobles and squire from various cities rushed to respond. The alliance stipulated extremely strict regulations, and everyone was only responsible to the leader. Even the king could not change the leader's decisions and directly excluded the king.

And Gis Henry also found a family that ruled France hundreds of years ago.

In terms of the three aspects of his possession of power, reputation, and far-fetched nonsense and the turbulent impact on the current situation, it is basically equivalent to the power of opening the government by the emperor in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and preparing to wipe out the Yellow Turban Army. He Jin, the general who suddenly claimed that he was a descendant of the Western Han Dynasty royal family, challenged the Valois royal family in terms of momentum.

Spanish intelligence still adheres to Philip's usual style, conceals it and does not say much about the rebellion initiated by the Protestant League. Of course, Chen Jiujing felt that it was possible that Philip knew no more about this matter than himself.

But unlike last time, an armed fleet of four Spanish Grand Garen ships came from Seville, with a well-equipped Spanish army stationed on the other end of the city through Bilbao.

The commander of the Legion named Toledo personally brought the transfer order signed by King Philip to Chen Jiu to pass by.

Fei Laoer wrote a high-sounding document. This legion had two missions, saying that the Duke of Gith was an important friend of Spain and they would protect him from accidental injury to the Ming Empire. Secondly, Chen Jiujing was also a friend of Spain, and this legion also wanted to protect him from any French army.

The young General Chen tried to interpret the document, and finally felt that Fei Laoer had gradually become elizabethized. Isn’t this a privateer license?

The meaning is that no matter who Chen Jiujing wants to steal, as long as it is not Duke Gith and his Catholic alliance under his command, this legion will follow him. Of course, Chen Jiujing will definitely take the blame for his bad reputation. If they have a common enemy, each one will rely on their own abilities.

On the other hand, if Chen Jiujing wanted to do something to harm Fei Lao Er's interests, this legion would also serve as a means of checks and balances in Spain. In Bilbao or the French battlefield where Gise was fighting, this legion was enough to balance Chen Jiujing's seven thousand troops.

This is the disadvantage of using mercenaries. If you fight against Spain's standing army, half of the six Western Yong battalions may turn against each other, and the other half may refuse to participate in the war, which will eventually evolve into Chen Jiujing using the Baishan battalion to fight against the Restoration Army twice or even more Spanish troops.

Then Chen Jiujing discovered that Fei Lao Er and Margo were definitely not people on the same road. Although they had a good personal relationship with Duke Gith, Philip was extremely opposed to Margo's younger brother, Duke Anjou's marriage with Queen Elizabeth of England, and Margo had a very good relationship with Anjou.

"If your brother married Elizabeth, he would be the King of England?"

As soon as Margaret, who was wrapped in armor, saw Chen Jiujing sitting by the window waving the letter on his hand, saying, "I asked Fei Lao Er for their letters to come in England. The French messengers sent back to China in the past year. Spain has poor printing ability. These letters are hand-written, and France is the same?"

Margaret took off her airtight helmet and shook it gently, her long hair scattered on her shoulders like a waterfall. She frowned and complained about the armor, and then replied: "The printing industry in Spain is not bad. If you want a thousand books on religion, they can print it for you in three days, but if it is another letter..."

The one who is close to the vermilion is close to the black one who is close to the ink, and Margaret, who is the French princess and the queen of the Navarra king, has become accustomed to Chen Jiujing calling the kings and queens of England, Spain and France by calling them the kings and queens of England, Spain and France.

It can be seen that the training of riding and armor made Margaret tired. She pulled the corner of her mouth and wanted to smile, but it was hard to make people feel happy. She said, "If other letters are written faster than printing, your empire first contacts Spain, which will make Europe feel extremely backward. Look at the cathedral they will never be able to build, you will know that other countries are obviously much more enlightened than Spain."

"If it weren't for so many years of religious wars, France would have made great achievements."

After laughing, she said: "Elizabeth of England does not want to marry anyone. She deals with the young nobles of various countries who pursue her. She is good at playing flirting games. No one will be with her. She will be lonely for a lifetime. Although I love Anjou very much, he has neither a heart-warming face nor a deceptive oratory talent, and cannot capture the old queen."

"I'm more worried about his safety. As far as I know, Elizabeth suffered a serious illness last year. Philip convinced the Duke of Gith. Gith planned to invade England as soon as she died. In the past, this holy alliance had always had a problem. Without Philip's money, Gith could not do anything, but now you have made Philip rich."

"That miser."

Margaret said and laughed, shook her head, "He would never give Gith money. My husband always thought he was fooling Gith and using huge amounts of money as bait to allow Gith to exert his influence in France. Although England is the common enemy of both countries, he does not want England to disappear... When will we send troops, I can ride a horse for a long time."

"My dear General Ming, do you have to wait until I can defeat you with my sword immediately before sending troops? Narva is already summoning the army, you have ten thousand soldiers."

"Others recruit mercenaries to fight wars. How can you treat mercenaries as regular troops like you? Every day I can hear the silver coins they eat jingling. The money they spend is enough to fight several major battles. Don't you be in a hurry?"

Margaret was quite clear about his troops. Baishan Camp, Xiyong Camp, and Toledo Legion gathered together and were just over 10,000.

Chen Jiujing smiled and said, "Defeat me immediately? Then I will not send troops in my life. I just grabbed a knife from the table in my mother moon."

"Don't hurry to send troops, let them fight first. I estimate that Narva has 20,000 troops. The royal army will gather 40,000 troops to let them fight until they are about to discuss peace with us and then join the war to eliminate the strong and help the weak."

"As for military pay, there is no need to worry about it at all. This is the power we are all over the world."

In the west of the New World, money is really money, but when you cross the East and arrive on the Spanish coast, money is no longer money. Although the price is high, Li Dan has the most valuable goods in his hands. It is very cost-effective to convert them into barter. Even the expensive mercenaries are extremely cost-effective for Chen Jiujing.
