    The force chosen by Zhang Tie to take the blame was the Protestant side that split from the church.

    After all, the Protestant side is still very weak.

    Therefore, planting poppies can bring them a lot of money in the future, allowing them to fight against the church princes.

    At the same time, it also involves the church¡¯s energy, and there is no way to put all of it on things in the Americas.

    ??And through the Protestant side, opium can also flow into Europe in an endless stream, making Europeans addicted to smoking, and their people begin to become decadent.

    By then, Protestantism will be blamed.

    Well, there is nothing good about the church to begin with, and the splintered Protestant churches are not necessarily good people.

    The reason why they split is just because of the internal power struggle.

    So, it¡¯s not that big of a deal to trick Protestantism.

    ¡°And the Dutch are not yet sea coachmen, and they do not have such strong economic strength.

    ??Besides, fighting against the church princes always requires money.

    The war has reached such a point that the economy of the Protestant coalition is about to collapse.

    ??Historically, it was the French¡¯s continuous funding that allowed the war to continue.

    ???????????????????? And it takes thirty years to do it.

    But now the French have formed an alliance with Portugal and the Song Empire, and are fighting against the church.

    Therefore, it is impossible to continue to provide strong assistance to the Protestant coalition, which makes the Protestant coalition even more miserable.

    Fortunately, the concessions established by Zhao Hongyu in Europe continued to provide some small-scale assistance to the Protestant coalition forces through secret channels, allowing them to withstand such trouble.

    Otherwise, the New Education Alliance has long collapsed.

    Of course, the amount of assistance given by the concession through secret channels was not much, and it was enough to allow the Protestant side to support it without collapsing.

    "Anyway, the Song Empire didn't have any good ideas.

    However, in the face of this kind of aid sent through secret channels, the Protestant side still expressed gratitude.

    Even the Dutch had to temporarily put aside the fact that their empire had seized colonies in South America.

    Precisely because the Imperial Concession contacted the Protestant coalition forces through secret channels, there is not much danger when Jenny and the others go to the Protestant side.

    After all, they are here to bring money to each other.

    ????????????????????? For the Protestant rebels, whose economy has begun to decline, this is a good thing that can help in times of need.

    As long as they don¡¯t have a brain convulsion, they will never do anything bad to Jenny and the others.

    After explaining the mission of their trip to their companions and giving everyone a detailed understanding, Jenny and her group started their journey again.

    Because Europe is not very big, four days later, Jenny and the others passed through the area controlled by the church princes and entered the area controlled by the Protestant coalition forces.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????Today, the combined forces of the Protestants and the Church are facing each other in the Valley of the Earl of Cullen in the Netherlands.

    Both sides have assembled approximately 120,000 troops here. It can be said that it is rare in European history for such a large number of armies to fight.

    Generally speaking, a war in Europe can be considered a major war if it involves thousands of people.

    This is no different from the Japanese country in the east.

    Of course, there have been battles involving tens of thousands of people.

    It¡¯s just that the number of times it happens is too few.

    For example, in the Middle Ages, more than 50,000 people fought for the throne of England and France.

    This is very remarkable.

    Of course, there are also amazing women like Joan of Arc.

    The most famous one in the Middle Ages was the Crusades.

    And, the Crusades were not just carried out once, but many times.

    The number of regular troops in the first Crusade was more than 30,000, and even more bankrupts and homeless people numbered more than 100,000.

    They swarmed into the Arab world like locusts, bringing killing and suffering to the Arabs.

    ¡°Of course, the Crusades sound holy in name, but they are not so good in essence.

    Because of this reason, scholars from another world have discussed that it is actually to alleviate the economic crisis on the European continent.

    At that time, in medieval Europe, the nobles controlled a large amount of land, which caused some small and medium-sized farmers to collapse.Homeless property.  These people brought great trouble to the rule of the nobles, so they had to find a way to solve this trouble.

    At the same time, nobles have many children in their families, so some children who are not important cannot inherit the nobles' inheritance.

    "For example, the children of nobles who cannot inherit the inheritance of nobles, their lives are no different from those of bankrupts, especially bankrupts and refugees. With the joining and bewitching of these people, their destructive power becomes even greater.

    Fortunately, in the Middle Ages, the rule of the church was at its peak.

    Considering that these people were damaging the rule of the nobility and the church, the pope and the nobility at that time came up with a way.

    ?That is ¡®to divert misfortune eastwards¡¯.

    Therefore, the mighty and vigorous Crusade began like this.

    Under the temptation of gold, silver, and spices, and guided by the church's instructions from God, Europeans all went crazy.

    But even so, the army recruited was only less than 200,000 people.

    "Compared to the ancient countries in the East, wars involving hundreds of thousands of people are really nothing.

    At this time of the Crusades, there were still many episodes.

    ¡°And these little episodes have made the churches look disgraceful and exposed their true nature.

    For example, during the Crusades, some church priests persuaded some young people to form a Crusade, saying that they would take them to Jerusalem.

    There is a lot of gold and silver over there, milk flowing like a river, and spices that can pave roads, so it enchanted about 10,000 children.

    As a result, some of these children were resold to local European nobles on the road.  The remaining more than 10,000 people were all sold to the Moors across the Mediterranean, which is notorious.

    This matter was finally revealed and recorded in the history books.

    The church has no way to refute it, because this is what actually happened.

    At that time, the priest used the money from selling the children to bribe church leaders. Not only was he not punished at all, but he became a powerful church leader.

    It especially shows what kind of thing the church is.

    Jenny and the others stopped at a wooded highland in Earl Karen Valley. They watched the Protestant and church positions for a while.

    In this era, there are far less things like trenches to be built than when wars occurred in later generations.

    Both sides were on one side and set up their own camps.

    The distance between the enemy positions is only about one mile, and even when fighting, both sides must display their chariots, horses and artillery, and then fight openly.

    Of course, now both sides have learned some tactics from the Americas and formed their own musketeers.

    However, because the musket craftsmanship of both sides is not very good, the chamber often explodes or the gun goes mute.

    Furthermore, both sides also used mainstream muskets of this era. These muskets were very heavy, the shooting distance was not very far, and the accuracy was not very high.

    However, the lethality of this kind of musket is still very strong.

    If an unlucky guy hits the target with such a low gun accuracy, the lead bullet will definitely penetrate the armor and open a big hole in his body.

    And because the musket fires lead bullets, this person is basically hopeless.

    After all, the medical technology of this era is very low.

    Only the American Song Empire had basic medical facilities.

    To put it bluntly, the muskets they use are somewhat similar to carrying guns.

    Therefore, even if they learn the new tactics of the American Song Empire, they will not be able to fully exert their power.

    Who told the American Song Empire to use more advanced flintlock muskets?

    At this time, the Protestant and church coalition forces were facing each other in this valley.

    Since the war between the church and Portugal and France began, the fighting here has stopped.

    Most of the time, confrontation is the main focus.

    Large-scale battles no longer occur, but small battles involving dozens of people still occur from time to time.

    This is like telling the other person, ¡®I¡¯m not afraid of you.¡¯ It¡¯s the ultimate idiot.

    But, after all, this is the European war method and rules, which most people will not understand.

    "Boss, shall we go to the camp of the Protestant coalition now?"

      At this time, Ruth took a few steps forward on his horse and asked from Jenny's side.

    Jenny¡¯s eyes kept scanning back and forth on both sides of the valley, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

    Her eyes were very unkind.

    In fact, Jenny doesn¡¯t have a good impression of either Protestantism or the church now.

    Because she thought of her father who died unjustly, her mother who was burned to death as a witch, and her painful memories of being fooled for more than ten years.

    All of this is brought to you by the church.

    If she hadn't been lucky enough to meet people from the American Song Empire, and knew that there were real 'gods' in this world, her parents would never have been resurrected, and she would have become someone long ago.  A human plaything.

    Although Protestantism is split from the church, it actually belongs to the church.

    Both sides have just gathered a group of their own supporters to compete for the high-level power and voice of the church.

    Therefore, in Jenny¡¯s heart, she does not have a good impression of both parties.

    Ruth didn¡¯t know what the young girl leader was thinking.

    He just felt that now that they had arrived at their destination, they should immediately get into the mission.

    After hearing Ruth¡¯s words, Jenny took a deep breath to calm down her excitement a little.

    Everything is for the Lord God, and for the souls of my parents Jenny prayed quietly, then pulled the reins to turn the horse's head, and said to Ruth and other companions: "Let's go, let's go to the Protestant coalition camp now!  "(To be continued.
