"Chief, the rumors we have spread have seriously affected the morale of the coalition forces of the church princes. Now their soldiers are so demoralized that they have no intention of fighting at all. After all, the rumors we have spread say that those churches The gentlemen will start plundering people's wealth again. If they can't pay the money, they will be charged with some unfounded crimes, and they have to worry about their relatives at home."
In the Vatican, in the residence where Jenny and the others were hiding, Chucks was giving a report to Jenny on the situation these days.
While listening to Chucks¡¯ report, the corners of Jenny¡¯s mouth curled up slightly, which showed that she was in a very good mood at this moment.
¡°Well, why wouldn¡¯t she be happy if she could cause such trouble to the church?
As long as it can cause trouble for the church and make the people in the church uncomfortable, she will feel very happy.
But where is this?
She wants to take revenge on the church, but that¡¯s not all.
¡°You¡¯re doing well, everything is going pretty smoothly now. So are the people in the church indifferent to this situation at all?¡±
Jenny asked Chucks.
Chucks showed a look of disdain when he heard this, smiled "hehe", and then responded: "I heard that most of the people on the Twelve Cardinals are not in favor of solving the problem for the coalition forces of the church princes. . If you ask these hard-core roosters to pay, it really seems like it will cost them their lives."
Chucks told Jenny some of the current situation in the church.
"I really don't know what these guys are thinking about all day long. How can their vision be so short-sighted? Can't they see that if they lose militarily, what they have in their hands will Is it impossible to keep wealth?"
Regarding the thoughts of those cardinals who do not support providing help to the coalition forces of the princely states. Chucks really didn't understand it at all.
Jenny curled her lips: ¡°These guys¡¯ thoughts are very simple, they just don¡¯t want to give up money, they don¡¯t have any other meaning. I really know them all too well, they are all misers.¡±
Jenny is really very thorough about the thoughts of these people, and there is no mistake at all.
Those cardinals who do not support it do have such small thoughts.
"I guess the Pope is not such an idiot, so there will be a resolution from the church soon. I know a little bit about the Pope. Although he is a little older, he is not as stupid as those people. So. Let¡¯s just focus on this matter first. Can you tell me what¡¯s going on with the French?¡±
Jenny has her own judgment. She doesn¡¯t think that people in the church are all such idiots.
At least, the pope she knew and had contact with was not such a person.
"Otherwise, this old guy wouldn't be able to become the Pope. And he has been in charge of a huge church for so many years.
Thinking about it, this old pope must have clearly seen the benefits and losses involved, and then made his most appropriate decision.
Therefore, Jenny can no longer pay attention to the Vatican for the time being, but focus on the French.
after all. After his plan was launched, it caused a lot of trouble to the coalition forces of the church princes.
It can be said that in a short period of time, the military strength of the coalition of church princes has weakened a lot.
And for the sake of balance. Then she also sent people to spread some rumors about the French, so that the French would not take this opportunity to defeat their opponents.
To know. The Empire's plan here in Europe is to prevent peace from coming.
If the French take the opportunity to defeat the coalition of princely states that support the church, then they will be able to unify Europe, right?
This has little benefit to the interests of the empire.
The French are actually wolves who can¡¯t get enough to eat.
Although they have a very good relationship with the Empire now, this is based on the fact that the French need materials and economic assistance from the Empire.
Once the French unite Europe, according to the virtue of the French, they will definitely turn around and start a war with the empire.
There is no eternal friendship between countries. It is simply impossible.
"Although the empire is now the French's big creditor, when it comes time to fall out, the French can refuse to admit it, right?
So, Jenny is also afraid that such consequences will occur because of her relationship.
This is not something she can bear.
So, ?In order to avoid such a thing, she had to create a little trouble for the French for the sake of balance, so that they had no time to focus on the vassal states.
Seeing Jenny asking about this, Chucks quickly replied: "The French are not very peaceful either. Rumors about the corruption of the nobles have also made the soldiers in the French army very unhappy. So now the nobles in the French army The generals have no energy to pay attention to the affairs of the vassal states. They are solving the problem of unstable military morale. "
Ha ha!
Jenny was relieved after hearing this.
It seems that everything went very smoothly and there were no mistakes.
¡°That¡¯s fine, as long as everything goes well.¡± Jenny said happily to Chucks.
Chucks thought for a while and asked: "Chief, what should we do next? Once the rumors spread, it also caused a considerable impact on both of them. Should we do something else?"
Chucks asked this for a reason.
¡°Small means like spreading rumors are just part of Jenny¡¯s plan.
Jenny¡¯s real plan is to cause chaos for both the church and the French, and then they will fish in troubled waters.
As for the target of fishing in troubled waters, of course it is the enemy of the big guy, one of the twelve cardinals of the church.
"Well, now it seems that we can start the second step."
After Jenny thought for a while, her expression became serious.
When Chucks heard what Jenny said, he looked happy.
"Chief, please give me orders!"
Jenny looked at Chucks seriously and said, "I need someone's whereabouts, and I also need to have information on the whereabouts of some military generals from the church kingdoms, as well as the French."
Apart from that, Jenny didn¡¯t say anything else.
However, Chucks understood that Jenny was about to take real action.
His heart was filled with excitement.
He has been waiting for this day for a long time, hasn't he? He has been waiting for too long.
"Don't worry, leader. Their information will be available soon."
The street outside this building is very lively with people coming and going.
Compared to most cities in Europe during this period, the Vatican was still very prosperous.
Maybe it¡¯s because the war didn¡¯t have a big impact here.
On the streets here in the Vatican, most of the common ones are priests or priests in robes, and occasionally some senior church members will appear.
It¡¯s just that most of the time, what everyone sees are just some grassroots church members.
In addition, the Jewish businessmen who appear most frequently on the streets of the Vatican are those active across Europe.
The Vatican is rich, and Jewish businessmen are smart and good at investing.
Therefore, the Vatican hit it off with the Jewish businessmen and began to conduct some commercial cooperation in private.
After all, people in the church cannot do business and trade openly.
At the same time, in order to obtain the maximum profit, the business the church wants to do must also be the kind of business that can guarantee capital and have sufficient profits.
Therefore, loan sharking has become the first choice.
It can be said that the loan sharking market in Europe during this period was monopolized by Jewish merchants.
They control the church's money, so of course they can lend money to the people in large amounts.
Because people have land mortgages, they don¡¯t have to worry about losing money at all.
As for someone who wants to default on their debt or something, there is no need to worry at all.
¡°These Jewish businessmen themselves also have some power in the underworld.
Just outside the building where Jenny and her family were hiding, there were many Jewish businessmen coming and going on the street.
Standing by the window, Jenny looked at the people on the street, then turned back to Chucks and said: "You can contact the Jewish businessmen. These guys only care about money. As long as you can give them enough benefits, I think There¡¯s nothing they can¡¯t sell.¡±
Chucks nodded, fully convinced of this.
If you want to grasp the information Jenny mentioned in a short period of time, you must have contact with the Jews.
For these Jewish businessmen, as long as they have money, there is nothing they dare not sell to you.
Even if it is some little secret of the Pope, they dare to exchange it for money.
Of course, the premise is that you can offer a sufficient price.
If you don¡¯t have a price that impresses them, you won¡¯t get anything.
Jenny is not too worried about this.
Because she has already received a large sum of money from the Marseille Concession. Therefore, the economy is very relaxed, and there is no need to worry about running out of money.
"Remember that when you come into contact with those Jewish businessmen, you have to be divided into two groups. And you two groups represent the French and the church."
Chucks smiled sinisterly and responded: "Don't worry, leader, I will never forget this. At the same time, I will seriously explain it to the people below again and let them remember this. Isn't it just muddying the water? , after we successfully implement the plan, will there be more intense retaliation from both sides?"
After Jenny received Chucks¡¯ response, she leaned against the window again to hide her figure, and turned her gaze to the street outside the window.
Neither the French nor the church know that they are now being targeted, and it won't be long before a huge storm sweeps over both sides.
