    Meet Joan of Arc?

    Wolfgang's information is really well-informed. He just rescued Joan of Arc yesterday. Originally, Bai Zhou didn't tell too many people about this matter. Not many people in Xi Qin knew about it.  Personally, among outsiders, Bai Zhou probably only knows Frank.

    Where did Wolfgang know this? Bai Zhou didn¡¯t know, but it was nothing more than the information he got from Wei Fu.  After all, the Western Qin people stationed in Basel will definitely not hide the news from Weifu. Although Weifu has always been cautious, in his opinion, this matter is not a secret that must be concealed, so  It was normal for Wolfgang to inquire about it.

    Perhaps, Bai Zhou could imagine that it was not surprising that Weifu learned from the letter that he was so "nonsense" and lost his temper in the camp, and then happened to be overheard by Wolfgang.

    "Why, it seems like you don't know her." Bai Zhou said. As far as he knew, in the nearly twenty years since she was born, Joan of Arc has never "went abroad", even the country where she left her hometown.  It only happened in the past two years, and she left her hometown just to defeat the English and Burgundians. As for the people of the Holy Roman Empire who remained relatively neutral in this battle, there was no reason for them to have any contact with Joan of Arc.

    "I found that the Duke has a lot of problems. Do I have to know her before I can see her?" Wolfgang tidied his collar. A guy of noble birth like him pays great attention to his appearance.  Yes, even if it was just for a short while, even if the wind was stronger and the corners of his clothes were slightly ruffled.

    "I can't make the decision in this matter. Joan of Arc is just my guest. I have no right to decide whether she wants to see you. If you really want to see her, I can ask my guards to take you there, but as for who she is?  Whether you see her or not, it's none of my business." Bai Zhou left his words here. Joan of Arc is not a prisoner of their Western Qin, nor is she their trophy. Western Qin now respects her decision, no  He would force her to do something, even if it was just to meet someone.

    "Thank you very much." Wolfgang seemed not surprised that Bai Zhou said such irresponsible words.  After all, "Jane is just my guest" is just words. In fact, Joan has no freedom and is not much different from a prisoner. Xi Qin asks her to do whatever she wants, as long as it does not violate her bottom line.  , she had no reason to refuse, not to mention that the person she was asked to meet was the third prince of the Holy Roman Empire, whose identity, status, and even power were very prominent.

    In fact, Joan of Arc is a smart woman, and this intelligence does not only refer to her military achievements (it would definitely be nonsense to attribute Joan of Arc's military achievements to God blindly, but if we just simply talk about her role  It seems that it is not convincing enough to improve the morale of the French army, because everyone knows that although morale is a crucial attribute in the era of cold weapon warfare, it has never been the only factor that determines the outcome of a battle. You must know  , when the allied forces of England and Burgundy faced the French royal family in consecutive battles, their morale was not much worse. This proved that Joan of Arc was a natural commander. Although she may not be good enough, at least she was qualified.  No problem, after all, if an army only relies on high morale and boiling blood to fight, it will often die faster.), but it means that she is also very smart in dealing with people.

    Leaving aside the fact that she had always been very cooperative with Bai Zhou's decision during her escape to Switzerland, and never proposed any plan to embarrass Bai Zhou. Let's just say that now in Basel, although the people of Western Qin treat her like a guest,  But she knew in her heart that if she was really a guest, she would have already made a request to return to France. The reason why she is still resting peacefully in Basel is because she knows that if Xiqin wants her to  When they return to France, even if they don't mention it, they will immediately start preparing for this matter. If Xi Qin rescues him for other purposes, then if he makes such a request, it will only cause a rift in the relationship between the two parties.  .

    This is an unnecessary rift that anyone with any sense would avoid.

    Many people in later generations said that Joan of Arc¡¯s political IQ was negative, which may be true. However, Bai Zhou did not dare to agree with this statement for the time being, because the Joan of Arc he saw now did not show any political naivety.  What happened in history, although it also happened in this time and space, is like a person being betrayed by a close friend. It is difficult for anyone to imagine before the betrayal.

    What is the relationship between Joan of Arc and the current King of France, Charles VII? It can be said that without Joan of Arc, Charles VII would not be a prince now; without Joan of Arc, Charles VII would not be coronated in Reims Cathedral; no  Joan of Arc, it is not impossible for the Hundred Years War to continue for another hundred years.

    And obviously, although Joan of Arc has won many battles,However, Charles VII has always contributed to matters such as logistical supplies and soldier replenishment. It can be said that the relationship between Charles VII and Joan of Arc at the beginning is not an exaggeration to describe as a life-and-death friendship. If it were not for Joan of Arc's real background  Due to poverty, and the fact that Charles was already married, it was impossible for the King of France to propose marrying Joan of Arc (of course, given Joan's personality, even if the King of France made this request, it was unlikely that she would agree).

    It can be said that these two people are typical of people who can share hardships but cannot share blessings.  It was they who saved France when the country was in crisis, but after the external danger was eliminated, discord arose due to other things.  In the end, Joan of Arc, who was in a weak position, was betrayed without any surprise.  Even now, she thought that her capture was just an accident, and that the King must have been preparing a ransom when she was captured.

    Bai Zhou, who is familiar with this period of history, does not want to tell Joan the truth yet. After all, Bai Zhou also knows that it seems a very cruel thing for him to tell her the truth like this. Besides, it is very likely that Joan will think that he is just  Why bother trying to sow discord between her and the Dharma King?

    ¡°Perhaps if he could meet Gilles again, he would explain the whole story to Joan of Arc. Moreover, based on his relationship with Joan of Arc, 80% of the time this betrayed woman would listen to him.  Therefore, there is no need for Bai Zhou to act as the narrator. He can only make insinuating remarks.

    After all, it would be unrealistic to say that Bai Zhou had no idea about the epic general Jeanne d'Arc. No one would want to have such an awesome character as her subordinate, but the problem is, after she completely gives up on the King of France,  Before, Bai Zhou felt that corners were not so easy to dig.

    Now that Wolfgang wants to see Joan of Arc, there is no need for Bai Zhou to object, but there is no need to express his agreement "enthusiastically" either.  According to Bai Zhou's guess, any nobleman who has heard of this woman's name will want to see for himself who she is. Of course, the English want her dead more than they want to see her.  If this prince wanted Joan to join their Holy Roman Empire camp, because Bai Zhou remembered that Frederick (Barbarossa) was also very interested in Joan, then he wouldn't mind handing over this first hoe.  Give it to the prince.

    Bai Zhou smiled at Wolfgang, which was a routine expression of goodwill, and then asked Mi Chuan to take him to see Joan of Arc.  Speaking of which, Bai Zhou was very curious about why Wolfgang wanted to meet Joan of Arc in person, but he didn't have that much time to gossip now. With the army pressing down on the country, Bai Zhou still had many things to deal with, so after seeing Mi Chuan and  After Wolfgang and his party left, they headed in the other direction - the five thousand new soldiers led by Weifu were temporarily stationed outside the city.
