Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although it is not the same as the rumors spread by the coalition forces of the church states, the version is roughly the same.

    Jenny and the others just changed the content, and the meaning is basically the same.

    The rumor among the coalition forces of the church princes is that the top leaders of the church are greedy for money, and they want to continue to plunder and squeeze money from the people at the bottom to supplement the lack of military pay.

    Of course, there is also the idea of ????making money from this process.

    Therefore, the soldiers at the bottom of the coalition forces of the church princes were suddenly shaken and panicked.

    Faced with this situation, the generals of the coalition forces of the church princes were helpless, and at the same time, they began to hate the church priests in their hearts.

    Although no one said anything openly, they all had such disgusting thoughts in their hearts.

    It can be foreseen that as time goes by, if the people of the church continue to do this, a split in the coalition will definitely occur.

    However, now facing a powerful enemy, they can only unite closely to fight.

    But, after the seeds are planted, they will surely bear fruit, right?

    Of course, these things are not something Jenny and the others need to consider and weigh.

    On the other hand, on the Portuguese-French Allied Forces side, rumors are also overwhelming.

    The content is probably that the aristocratic officers of the French army squandered the materials and economic aid from the Song Empire. In fact, only a small part fell into the hands of the soldiers at the bottom.

    At the same time, even the part that the soldiers got was withheld.

    Like the East, the West also has the practice of withholding military pay and "drinking the blood of soldiers". Therefore, the soldiers at the bottom will also be resentful of this unspoken rule.

    only.  Considering his own status and the status of the other party, what can he do as a low-level soldier in the face of such unspoken rules?

    They simply can¡¯t resist, right?

    The rumors are well-founded, and there are accurate figures and the names of some of the moths.

    Those soldiers who knew the rumors.  After thinking about it based on my actual situation, I believed this rumor.

    There is nothing else, because they have indeed been deducted from their military pay, and they do not receive their military pay on time every month.

    This is also the fault of the French, since there was a large amount of economic and material assistance from the Song Empire.  It stands to reason.  In fact, their hands are still very loose.

    No matter what happens, we will not owe the soldiers their military pay.

    Of course, the French are not really in arrears with their military pay. After all, they have received assistance from the Song Empire, right?

    However, it usually takes half a month or even a month to issue military pay.  There are some too.

    The reason is simple. The officers took out the soldiers' military pay and loaned it out.

    So, something like this happens.

    The short-term interest is very generous, and they are not worried about the borrower not paying back the money.

    ? Therefore, it is a profitable business.

    In addition, when military pay is issued, they can also deduct a sum of money.  The amount of money that can fall into one's hands is quite a lot when calculated here and there.

    Those officers who hold the power to issue military pay usually receive dozens of gold louis each month.

    Originally, this matter was tacitly understood, and the soldiers never complained.

    But I don¡¯t know which unscrupulous guy actually spread such rumors.

    You must know that although those soldiers did not say it with their mouths, there must be resentment in their hearts.

    The officers are not idiots and know this very well.

    But as long as these soldiers do not stick together, then they do not pose a threat to vested interests.

    But now it¡¯s different, the spread of rumors.  As a result, those soldiers at the bottom have a common language.  Therefore, these soldiers often gathered together to talk about this issue.

    From complaining on the lips, it expanded to starting to take a little action.

    Now, the situation is somewhat out of control.

    " In this regard, the generals in the army are in trouble.  I really gnashed my teeth with hatred for the guy who spread the rumors, and I wanted to devour this person in one gulp.

    In the end, they targeted the church, because in their opinion, only these people in the church would do such a thing.

    Therefore, as the soldiers' resentment grew, the French generals decided to take the initiative to attack.The originally peaceful peace was broken, so that the soldiers no longer had time to think about this matter.

    Of course, these noble officers also began to be cautious and decided not to deduct the soldiers' life money for a period of time.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    ?Compared to the French, the Portuguese are quite quiet here.

    Because Portugal has only been restored to the country for two years, those officers are not old-fashioned aristocrats.  Therefore, he does not have any bad habits, and the soldiers recruited after the restoration of the country have deep patriotic sentiments.

    Therefore, in the Portuguese army, there is no such headache problem.

    Besides, the Song Empire also provided aid to Portugal, so the soldiers could receive their military pay on time every month, and there was no case of being deducted.

    Therefore, the rumors circulating among the French have no impact on the Portuguese.

    Actually, this is just because Jenny didn¡¯t target them specifically.

    Otherwise, how could it be possible?

    Because Jenny was thinking, the French are a little confused here, but they can't make the Portuguese also confused.

    After all, the coalition of churches faced by Portugal and France was really powerful.

    Therefore, the French are a bit chaotic, so the Portuguese cannot be chaotic here.  If there is a problem on the French side but not on the Portuguese side, then the position can be stabilized at the critical moment and the church will not be defeated.

    Of course, the church is still busy taking care of itself.

    So, how could they take any unfavorable action against the Portuguese-French allied forces at this time?

    The French at least took one action to prevent the expansion of the unfavorable situation.

    But in the coalition of church princes and states, the priests don't care at all or even ignore the situation they are facing now.

    In the eyes of these priests who are accustomed to being superior.  Those soldiers at the bottom are nothing more than cannon fodder and lambs.  It's an existence that you can kill at any time, so why should you care.

    "These people can't make any trouble at all, and they are not as threatening as the generals said.

    Even if a problem does arise, as long as we use the name of 'Lord', I think those soldiers will not have any problems.

    Is it possible that they still dare to resist the majesty of the ¡®Lord¡¯?

    have to say.  These priests think a little too simply.

    Of course, this has something to do with the fact that they are used to being domineering.

    After all, on the European continent, noble lords are scary.  But compared to these people in the church, the priests are the most terrifying existence.

    Because they have the name of ¡®Lord¡¯, they can give you a name and kill you at any time.  Don't take any responsibility.

    ?????????????????????????? At least, if noble gentlemen want to punish someone, they need a reasonable excuse, don¡¯t they?

    If they go too far, the people in their territory will still have breakfast.

    But who has ever seen someone dare to rebel against the church?

    Because Europeans who have been brainwashed by the church for so many centuries do not dare to do such a thing.

    It is precisely for this reason that the priests dare to be confident.

    It can be said.  Jenny's plan went very smoothly, and everything was under her control.

    "Chief, the French may not be able to withstand it anymore. So they want to take the initiative to attack the church alliance to alleviate the dissatisfaction of the soldiers and divert their attention and energy. At the same time, some high-level noble generals have reached a tacit agreement  . The soldiers will no longer be deducted from their military pay for a period of time until the soldiers' grievances are alleviated."

    Jenny, who has been hiding in the Vatican, received news from the war zone that day.

    Smiling, Jenny said to her deputy, the second leader Chucks: "I didn't expect that the French are quite smart. They have already found a solution. I thought they would be like the people in the church, as far as those soldiers  Their attitude is to ignore it.¡±

    Upon hearing this, Chucks responded: "Only people from the church can do such a thing. After all, they are used to being at the top, and those soldiers at the bottom are just cannon fodder and lambs to them.  So how can they, the shepherds who take the place of the so-called Lord, think of a lamb.¡±

    Jenny thought for a while and recalled the people in the church that she had come into contact with. Indeed, they were all like what Chucks said.

    "It's just some stupid peoplePeople, don't they know if they want to win the war.  Do we need to rely on the strength of these soldiers?  If you rely on the so-called 'Lord', you cannot win the war.  ", Jenny's face showed great disdain and contempt.

    She thought that all the people in these churches must have lost their minds.

    Otherwise, how could things have been allowed to develop like this?

    Jenny could imagine with her little toes that the church would definitely suffer a big loss this time.

    However, she was still very happy to be able to make the church suffer.

    So, the more idiotic the people in the church are, the more beneficial it is to her, right?

    Hahaha!

    Jenny thought of this, and her face showed happiness again.

    "Well, this plan has been implemented very smoothly. Now everything is developing smoothly according to our plan. Now let's not pay attention to things over there. It is estimated that the war will continue to start before long, so we don't need to worry about it. Now  Let¡¯s start focusing on the Vatican, so how is the investigation by the people I asked you to investigate going?¡±

    Jenny turned her head and looked at Chucks and asked seriously.

    ¡°Chief, the person you asked us to investigate has now been investigated clearly.¡± Chucks responded quickly.  "Now that person has become one of the twelve cardinals" While responding to Jenny, Chucks took out a few pieces of brown paper from his arms and handed them over.

    The vellum is covered with Latin text, and all of it contains information about the subject of the investigation.
