Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The current situation in Europe is not good at all, but it is not bad at all.

    ¡°For the people living on the European continent, they have gone from being used to it to being numb.

    Compared to the East, wars here in Europe are very frequent.  Wars between countries, wars between big nobles and big nobles, and even conflicts between small noble lords all occurred frequently.

    Therefore, Westerners are much more miserable than Easterners in this era.

    But it is precisely because of this relationship that the people living in continental Europe have become accustomed to this and have nothing to adapt to.

    It has to be said that human beings are still very adaptable to the environment.

    But, this also has a limit.

    That means you can at least ensure that you can survive.

    Once this limit is exceeded, even the people on the European continent will not be able to bear it.

    The current situation has begun to touch people¡¯s limits.

    The rumors spread by Jenny and others earlier have spread very quickly.

    When the people heard that the church was going to start plundering their own wealth again, they could no longer calm down.

    The reason is very simple. Because of war and disease, basically everyone can¡¯t survive now.  It's just that now I can barely survive on one meal a day, and I'm still starving to death.

    After all, it is better to live than to die. As long as there is hope of living, then these people will have no other ideas.

    But now it¡¯s different, if the church is really as rumored.  To start searching for wealth again, it is basically impossible for poor families to survive.

    For the Church¡¯s means.  People on the European continent know this very well.

    In a word, if the church wants money but you don¡¯t have it, then it goes without saying that it will definitely label you a ¡®monster¡¯ and then take you to the tribunal and torture you to death. There is no other way out.

    By then, it won¡¯t be as simple as a family being destroyed.

    At this time, the people in the territory controlled by the coalition of church princes and states were no longer calm.

    This is simply a rhythm that will drive them to death.

    If you don¡¯t resist yet.  There is really no way to survive.

    Therefore, for a time, under the influence of rumors, the people's hearts in the territory controlled by the coalition of church princes began to become unstable, and some turmoil occurred.

    Many people took the risk and gathered together, preparing to use force to fight against the rumored raid.

    ¡° Some people have even organized and killed some of their local nobles.  Then use the wealth of the nobles to start recruiting more people.

    Jenny and the others could not have imagined that the rumor they had created would actually cause such a big turmoil.

    Some small-scale uprisings have begun to appear sporadically.

    No one knows whether in the end it will be like a prairie fire, sweeping across the territory of the coalition of church princes.

    Although these uprisings are happening now.  They are all sporadic, and the number of people is not large, and the weapons and equipment are not very sophisticated.  But please don¡¯t forget that there are many poor people on the roads of Europe today.

    Once these people are really gathered together.  Then they are also a very terrifying force.

    This can¡¯t help but make people vigilant.

    However, now the church is on the side of the allied forces of the princely states.  There are still a lot of problems that have not been resolved.

    Now, such a situation has arisen again, but it is giving people on the church side a headache.

    The morale of the military that was currently confronting the French was already unstable. Now that such a terrible problem has arisen, it is hard for anyone to survive.

    Damn the church, everyone saw the trouble this problem would cause earlier and came up with a solution.

    But the iron roosters are so desperate that they want to solve this troublesome problem.

    It¡¯s okay now. The trouble that everyone was worried about finally appeared.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    There are even some people in the coalition forces of the church and princely states who have malicious thoughts that in the worst case, the war will be lost and the church will suffer a big loss.

    Aren¡¯t they the ones who never pluck a hair from their roosters?

    When the time comes, let the French, who have won the war, deal with them, and the church men will know how stupid their decision was.

    Of course, there are only a few people who think like this.

    Most people stillJust try to solve the current troubles as soon as possible.

    However, in addition to the instability in military morale caused by the arrears of military pay and the unrest caused by rumors, there is another troublesome thing.

    That is because the French actually sent assassins and launched unconventional means and actions against the coalition forces of the church states. Therefore, during this period, several senior generals and a large number of mid-level generals were killed in the coalition forces of the church states.

    The deaths of these people have caused some vacancies in the army, and suitable people cannot be found to fill them in a short period of time.

    After all, it is still during the war. It is impossible to find people who know nothing to fill those vacant positions, and it is not so easy to find people who know military knowledge and are talented.

    Even if it is found, it depends on which force within them it belongs to and who it is friendly with Therefore, the church kingdoms are really in a mess.

    Fortunately, the situation on the side of their enemy, the French, is not much better than theirs.

    Therefore, there is no need to worry that the French will take the opportunity to attack them during this chaotic time.

    Because the French were also attacked by killers and assassins, and lost many big and small nobles.

    Therefore, the French army is also in some confusion, so it has no time to launch military operations against the coalition forces of the church princes at this time.

    Although the French also know that now is a good opportunity to launch military operations against the church states.  But the problem is that the city on their side is also in chaos, and it is impossible to carry out such a military operation smoothly.

    Therefore, the French can only watch this good opportunity.  It just slipped away in front of their eyes and there was nothing they could do.

    As for the French¡¯s ally the Portuguese, it has only been a little more than two years since they were restored.  The war strength is not very strong at all, so we can't count on them at all.

    Now we just hope that the Portuguese can guard their own defense and don't make any mistakes.

    The French don¡¯t ask the Portuguese for how big of a role they can play.

    ??In other words, if you only seek the Portuguese, there will be no merit, and if you only seek the Portuguese, there will be no fault.

    Look, how simple this idea is.

    so.  Every day, many French envoys come to the Portuguese to convey their ideas.

    ¡°And the Portuguese also know how much they weigh, so of course they won¡¯t do such stupid things.

    This actually made the French people worry a lot and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

    Of course, the French quickly began to select suitable generals to fill the vacancies caused by the assassination, and then integrated the army to prepare to launch an attack on the church states.

    Because the French know it.  This time is an opportunity, an opportunity to defeat your opponent.

    If they miss this opportunity, they will definitely regret it.

    The movements on the French side, of course, also affected the people on the church princely states.

    The spies of the church vassal states are not vegetarians, and they also have very accurate information about the French.

    ¡°Obviously, now they must solve the problem quickly.  Otherwise, if you let the French get out of trouble, you will be the one who suffers.

    With the current situation in our country, it is obviously beyond our capabilities to fight against the French.

    But, once it fails, it will be doomed, right?

    Fortunately, it was just when the generals of the coalition forces of the church princes had a headache.  The messenger from the church finally arrived.  And also brought a very exciting news, that is, the church provided seven million dinars in gold coins.  Solve the financial crisis of the coalition of princely states.

    At the same time, a large number of priests and priests were dispatched to areas where turmoil and uprisings had occurred to dispel the influence of rumors, and at the same time help the local nobles suppress riots and uprisings and restore stability in the rear.

    Furthermore, the Inquisition also dispatched a large number of assassins and killers to repay the French.

    Therefore, the armies of the vassal states, which had been depressed in fighting spirit, finally began to regain their morale.

    And when the long-overdue military pay was distributed to the soldiers, the morale of the soldiers suddenly exploded.

    You must know that the support of seven million dinar gold coins is enough to support the army until the end of next year.

    Since you don¡¯t have to worry about military pay for almost two years, how can those soldiers not restore their morale?

    Furthermore, the church¡¯s messenger announced to the soldiers that the church had no intention of plundering the people in the rear. This was completely a rumor spread by the French on the other side.

    ? ?The person who announced the news was a cardinal archbishop of the church. The soldiers still believed what a man of such status said.

    After all, most Europeans during this period were believers in the church, right?

    But what the soldiers didn¡¯t know was that the church actually wanted to do what was rumored.  I just found out that it caused a lot of turmoil and trouble even before I did it, so I changed my mind.

    And the death of a cardinal made everyone in the church¡¯s top ranks feel in danger.

    Furthermore, these iron roosters thought that the French would dare to take action against them now, let alone after the French defeated the military force they supported.

    It can be said that under the severe sense of crisis, the church¡¯s senior leaders finally made a wiser decision.  That is to use the wealth in his hands to provide strong support to the coalition of church princes, and to ensure that this war is not lost no matter what.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    After all, they are now in a relationship where both prosper and suffer, right?

    "Anyone who is not an idiot will understand what they should do.

    And intelligence from both the French and the church was continuously sent to the Imperial Intelligence Department in the Marseille Concession.

    At the same time, Jenny and others also began to stop assassinating the French, the church, and the coalition forces of the princely states. After gathering their troops, they retreated in a low-key direction towards the Marseille Concession.
