    Paris.

    The king of the New Frankish Kingdom turned pale and stared at the few ministers in front of him: "My dear general, what you want to tell me is that we are about to die?" The latest news is that the Byzantine army is only a hundred kilometers away from Paris.  , This distance is almost at the gate of Paris.

    The general shook his head: "Although we lost most of the country, as long as we hold on to Paris, the Kingdom of Franks will not perish."

    The new king stared at the general even more fiercely, using the damn word "destruction". The situation has become so serious that it cannot be handled?  Is it just a spontaneous organization of the Byzantine people, the army of the brave Frankish Kingdom is so vulnerable?

    "No, Your Majesty the King." The general smiled wryly, and looked at the ministers around him. The matter has come to this point, and you haven't explained the ins and outs to His Majesty the King?  A group of ministers looked at the general sternly. How could we believe what you said without investigation and research?  Do we want us to report unconfirmed news to His Majesty the King?

    "Your Majesty, our enemy is not a spontaneous non-governmental organization, but the church." The general said.  The regular army of the Frankish Kingdom suffered heavy losses in the Asia Minor peninsula, and the money of the nobles was used to buy isatids. These are trivial things. Randomly catching a farmer and serf can serve as a soldier with a wooden stick. The biggest problem is that the enemy is  church.

    "Church?" The new king of the Frankish Kingdom looked at the general with some contempt. The power of the church was so poor that he could send a small official to slap the Pope in the face to ensure that the Pope would not dare to cry.

    "You can't beat the church?" The new king is really contemptuous, the old king deserved his death, and even appointed a group of trash as ministers.

    "The church is rich." The general smiled wryly.

    The new king looked at the general coldly, thinking I was an idiot?  The church's land is pitifully small, and its donations are even less. It is almost living off alms, which is considered rich.

    "Yes, it's considered rich." The general was very serious, "In recent years, the church has concentrated all the funds to quietly buy food and weapons, and can arm thousands of people at any time."

    The new king finally nodded slowly. The money in the church was pitifully small, but compared to those who rebelled because they didn¡¯t have enough food and clothing, they were still very rich. Being able to buy weapons and food was considered a blessing.  Little power.

    "There are very few people in the church." The new king is still dismissive of the church. The church really has no rights, no hands, no money, and no land. There is only one small church in one area, and more than four church members have been found in the church.  Cathedrals, more churches where there is only one priest and one apprentice.  With this little manpower, any nobleman, no, any manor owner with a few servants will take them down.

    "I should have attacked the church earlier." The new king regretted it a little. The property and land of the church were all mosquito meat, but thousands of mosquitoes could still eat a few chopsticks if they piled up into a dish.

    The general said respectfully: "Your Majesty, there are few priests, but there are many people who are loyal to the church." The new king snorted coldly and came to fool him again, but he decided to listen to the explanation.

    "The church promised that after the Frankish kingdom was occupied, all serfs would become free citizens," said the general.  The new king didn't care. Don't think that serfs envy being freemen. Although they didn't have any personal rights when they were serfs, at least they had food and a place to live. After becoming freemen, who cares about their food?  Every year there are as many free people who have no food and voluntarily become serfs.  Just liberating the serfs is really not that attractive.

    The general continued: "Everyone can continue to plant the fields of nobles and manor owners, and only charge 70% of the rent."

    The face of the new king finally changed drastically, 70% of the tenants rented, this figure is so attractive, all the serfs and free people who heard this promise would join the church without hesitation and overthrow the Frankish Kingdom.

    "We are now proposing to reduce the rent to 60%, is it too late?" The new king responded very quickly.

    The general shook his head: "Some nobles have already proposed 60% of the rent."

    "And then?" the new king asked anxiously, "Did the church propose to reduce it to 50%? Then we will only charge 40%!" Thinking about the huge number of serfs and free people who joined the church, the new king would shudder.  .

    The general's face was miserable.

    "Why, some nobles are not willing to lower the rent?" The new king sneered, when life and death, can those nobles feel sorry for some tenants?  Anyone who dares not to lower the rent will be killed immediately!

    "No, the nobles agreed to lower the rent." The general explained, seeing that most of the French nobles and manor owners ornbsp; The attitude of the Byzantines must also be considered.  The church led the Byzantines to attack the Frankish Kingdom under the slogan of revenge for the Byzantine Emperor Lucky 13, but did not dare to really use these Byzantines.  If the new king of Byzantium or a certain minister recalled the Byzantines, it would be a small matter. What if they simply annexed the Frankish Kingdom?  Didn't the church's hard work become a wedding dress for Byzantium?  Only by unifying the Franks can the Frankish army and the Church's army be quickly mobilized, strictly guarding the border with Byzantium, and defending the fruits of the Church's victory.

    Together, the center of gravity is to conquer Paris in one fell swoop.

    "I knew it earlier, I should have hired a few officers from the Orientals." A priest in black regretted it very much. With Orientals training the army, maybe they could directly break Paris.

    A member of the church rushed into the room with surprise on his face.  "Big news, Paris has been breached!"

    A group of priests are idiots, and all the troops of the church are here. Who will fight Paris?

    "There was a serious riot in Paris. The citizens of Paris overthrew the king of the Frankish Kingdom and welcomed us into Paris!" the messenger shouted in surprise.

    The cardinal asked seriously: "Are you kidding me?"

    The church army successfully entered Paris, and the entire Frankish kingdom surrendered to the church.

    ps: Note 1. This kind of mentality is not made up by me. There is a famous poem written by Yang Sichang, a minister of the Ming Dynasty.  "Don't be safe and hungry, follow the example of praying mantis." This poem was originally intended to be used in the Central Plains, but it was forgotten, and there is really no shortage of food at the end of the year, and it is a bit blunt. It may be used in other articles in the future.  Thanks to the little angels who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution~
