- Historically, the English executed Joan of Arc and succeeded for a while, but then the French royal family used "revenge of Joan of Arc" as a gimmick and gathered a large number of small and medium-sized nobles and ordinary people, and the flame of revenge ignited the entire country. country.
The sad soldiers will win!
After the English killed Joan of Arc, they did not achieve the result they imagined¡ª¡ªcollapse the determination of the Gauls to resist. Instead, they aroused public indignation throughout France. The fighting power that a united country can produce cannot be overestimated.
Eventually, they were driven back to the English Channel.
It is not difficult for Bai Zhou to imagine that if the Western Qin Dynasty dared to execute Joan of Arc so openly, what would be returned would be the anger of a nation.
"Bo Zhou and Xi Qin cannot bear this kind of anger, and there is no need to bear it.
Therefore, after Bai Zhou learned that the purpose of the French royal envoy's negotiation was to use the help of the Western Qin people to get rid of Joan of Arc, he thought that there was no need to continue this conversation.
Because, no matter what price the French offered, even if they made something literal, Bai Zhou would not agree to their request.
The basis for cooperation between the two parties does not exist - the Western Qin people want Joan of Arc to be their commander-in-chief and lead the French soldiers to attack Burgundy, thereby supporting the Western Qin from the side; but the French royal family hopes that Joan of Arc will only have a negative impact on them now A valuable woman, the sooner she dies, the better.
¡°One wants Joan to live, and the other wants Joan to die. It is impossible to reach an agreement in this negotiation.
"Moreover, letting an innocent woman become a victim of men's political struggle, Bai Zhou asked himself that he could not be so cruel.
Although it is said that if something big happens, your close relatives can be killed, but if all your close relatives are killed, no matter how big you gain, who will you share this joy with? What's more, killing Joan of Arc was too contradictory to Bai Zhou's original plan.
Therefore, Bai Zhou didn't mind continuing to "joy" with the envoy, and also came up with some words to let Joan of Arc, who was hiding aside, see clearly how the royal family to which she was loyal was planning to repay her.
Of course, there was an unexpected surprise in the end. The French were willing to pay a deposit of 70,000 yuan. This was something Bai Zhou could not have expected in advance, and Bai Zhou naturally wouldn't mind keeping the money secret. There was no proof anyway, and Even if the French royal family suffered a secret loss like this, they would not dare to publicize it. Otherwise, everyone would know what kind of dirty methods the king they were loyal to used to treat a saved man. French national hero.
Having just seen off several envoys, before Bai Zhou had time to sit down, he saw Joan of Arc walking out from behind a curtain in this house.
This shocked Bai Zhou. Although it was Bai Zhou who ordered Michuan to arrange for Joan of Arc to come here to "audit" in order to see clearly the despicable face of the French royal family, he did not expect that Joan of Arc was actually in this room. Inside, Bai Zhou originally thought that Michuan would arrange for Joan to go next door. After all, houses in the Middle Ages were still made of wood, and there was no sound insulation at all.
Unexpectedly, Joan of Arc was actually in this house. This also made Bai Zhou have to admire this woman's determination. If it were an ordinary person, if he heard such a conversation about being betrayed and betrayed, he would definitely endure it. I couldn't help but rush out and ask questions clearly.
However, there is no doubt that looking at Joan of Arc's clenched fists and her pale and livid complexion, one person knew that she was on the verge of mental instability, and it was only by holding back that she did not explode.
Suddenly, for some reason, Bai Zhou regretted what he had just done.
The most tragic thing in the world is the collapse of faith, and the second most tragic thing is being betrayed by your loved ones.
No one wants to be an item put on the table for bargaining, no matter how expensive they are.
¡° All along, Joan of Arc has firmly believed that the royal family will do its best to rescue her and return to her country. Although she and the current French King Charles VII are not close relatives, they definitely have a relationship like comrades supporting each other in the same trench. At the critical moment of France's life and death, Joan of Arc stepped forward to help Charles, who was still just a prince at the time, successfully ascend the throne and be crowned King of France.
¡°The relationship between them at that time, using fish and water as a metaphor is actually not an exaggeration at all.
Therefore, if she hadn¡¯t seen it with her own eyes and heard it with her own ears, Joan of Arc would never have believed that the King of France would actually want his own life. Could it be that God has really abandoned her?
"Are they people sent by the King of France?" Joan of Arc gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, raised her head slightly, and asked word by word.
In fact, she already knew the answer, but this simple woman didn¡¯t want to believe it, and she couldn¡¯t believe it was all true. SheI would rather believe that this was deliberately arranged by Bai Zhou with "sinister intentions".
Bai Zhou didn¡¯t answer. The facts were right in front of everyone¡¯s eyes. It wasn¡¯t a question of whether they believed it or not. Moreover, if Joan insists on not believing it, then Bai Zhou's words will be in vain.
"You tell me, this is all fake, this is all a lie!"
Tears slid down Jeanne's cheeks, and her tightly closed eyes could not hold back many tears. This woman, who had always been strong and always dressed in men's clothing, finally cried like a child at this moment. At this moment, Bai Zhou felt that the person in front of him was a living person, not the kind of person in later generations. The Valkyrie has been rendered almost to a god.
"This is all a lie, a lie!" Joan of Arc shouted hoarsely, choking with sobs. At this moment, it seemed that everything about her collapsed. In an instant, without any preparation, it collapsed. Clean and tidy. It seemed that she could no longer find a friend or partner that she could trust and rely on. This feeling was undoubtedly the most terrifying.
No one is not afraid of being alone. Even the most rebellious people long for someone to truly love and understand them, let alone Jeanne who is only twenty years old and still at the age of a flower.
Fiora took two steps forward, hugged Joan tightly, and buried her head in her chest. It seemed that she was the only one in this hall who could understand Joan's feelings.
Both were once pitiful people, but one has now found spiritual support, while the other¡¯s current spiritual support has completely disappeared.
Joan of Arc no longer showed the strong look she had shown in the past, she cried like a child who had lost her mother.
After a long, long time, the sobbing gradually stopped, and Fiora's clothes were already wet.
"Do you need a handkerchief?" Fiora saw Joan finally raised her head, her eyes were red. Obviously, her current mental state was still unstable.
"Thank you, no need." Joan of Arc saw that Fiora had wet a large area of ??her clothes, and seemed to realize that she had just lost her composure, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter. In fact, we are also responsible for the current result. I hope you don't blame us." Fiora excused Bai Zhou. After all, although Fiora said "we", everyone knew that, All of this was directed by Bai Zhou.
"What Mengshan said to Bai Zhou just now was just to avoid the French, so Fiora heard it clearly. At that time, Fiora didn't know what Bai Zhou's plan was, but now that the matter was over, she understood everything.
"You didn't do anything wrong, I understand." Joan of Arc wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her bare hands, with a hint of sadness in her voice. Then she turned her head again and said to Bai Zhou: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Duke."
Of course, Bai Zhou knew what Joan of Arc meant by "thank you", but he was really embarrassed to say "you're welcome". After all, from a personal emotional point of view, if it wasn't for his own selfishness, he would never let it go. Joan of Arc appears here. She must also understand this.
Joan of Arc then took a few deep breaths, seemingly trying to calm down her mood.
"Well, don't worry, you are absolutely safe here. I promise not to hurt you, nor will I let the French hurt you, no matter how much money they pay." Bai Zhou scratched his head, although he believed that Joan of Arc could It sounded like he was just flirting with the messenger and trying to lure some money, and he had absolutely no intention of harming her. But with Jeanne's current mental state, Bai Zhou was really afraid that she would go astray.
"I understand, if you really want to 'sell' me, you won't let me be placed here to listen to your conversation." Joan of Arc showed a bitter smile, and her voice was slightly hoarse: "Just But I didn¡¯t expect that I was only worth one hundred thousand gold coins.¡±
Bai Zhouxin said that this price is not low. After all, although you are worth more than this mere 100,000 gold coins, for everyone in Western Qin, killing you is just a matter of raising hands. If the matter is done smoothly, Son, it can even make you disappear without anyone noticing. If the price offered by the French royal family is equal to the value you can create, then Bai Zhou will have to wonder what the other party's head is made of.
"What are you going to do in the future?" Bai Zhou decided not to dwell on these meaningless topics. Now it seems that Joan of Arc has not performed anything particularly extraordinary. In other words, he and Joan of Arc can continue to do something substantial. communication without having to worry too much about the unpredictable consequences if you accidentally irritate her.
To be honest, this woman is both more fragile and stronger than imagined.
"I don't know." Joan of Arc said the truth. In fact, returning to France is not a bad idea.It's a good choice. First of all, the royal family will definitely not dare to embarrass Joan of Arc openly. Secondly, after all, there are many nobles there who have deep friendship with Joan of Arc who can take care of her and prevent her from being plotted against.
For example, there is no news about Giles so far. This guy who would dare to sell himself to the devil for Joan of Arc in the future, if he said that he would agree to the royal family harming Joan of Arc, then Bai Zhou would not believe it.
But then again, France has become a sad place for Joan of Arc. What can she do when she goes back? Do you want to hide under the wings of other people all your life and be an obedient citizen? With Joan of Arc's character, she would definitely not do it. She would definitely have to fight, but the result of the fight would be that both the royal family and the family would suffer losses at best.
"Then you stay here first, I will definitely ensure your safety. Of course, if you want to leave one day, I will never force you." Bai Zhou looked at Joan of Arc and said slowly.
