Chapter 30 The Holy Roman Empire Has a New Emperor
Has Loli's belly become a bottomless pit?
"Not?"
Joan of Arc eats so much. Joan of Arc's father, Dark, served as a tax officer in the village. He has three brothers at home. As a girl, he is naturally unpopular. However, there is a reason why she is hungry today. When she went to catch birds today, she found that some uneasy Parisian civilians were also looking for food around the army like her. Loli thought about it and sent the roasted bird meat to the pregnant women.
"Foraging?" Corbin had to remind Joan of French, "finding something to eat is what people need to use. Your phrase foraging will make others think that you are an animal, and only the overlord in the carnivore chain will match this word."
Corbyn rummaged through the bag beside the chair and found out that the roasted bird that Loli made was almost intact and sent back.
"I'm so embarrassed. This is obviously a gift from me to you."
Joan of Arc was shy.
"Just think you owe me twice."
That dinner that day, the French generals intentionally or unintentionally saved some of the rations and found excuses for Joan of Arc. Joan of Arc's stomach was worry-free, but Corbyn's tent became a concert where a large group of rude men sang symphony with their belly.
"As the commander of the French army, why don't you hide anything?" Jill's fingers poked in front of Corbyn. On behalf of the barons, the knights shouted out their hearts, "You must know that your name was passed on by us..."
It would be fine if Jill didn't take credit, but as soon as he mentioned it... Corbyn was angry. What's wrong with these guys, and he actually gave him a nickname for the bastard. France had walked out of a very powerful bastard. Charlemagne's grandfather, [Block] Ute, who once blocked the pace of Muslims' expansion in the land of France and saved the entire Christ world, does not mean that Corbyn admired the nickname for the bastard... Especially in cooperation with Jill's explanation, the strong and powerful suppression... was very macho.
Corbin always felt that he had become a medieval version of the human-shaped self-propelled cannon, looking for people everywhere... Corbin deeply realized that these so-called noble people really need to improve their cultural cultivation, and they always speak very vulgar, especially those of Jill, who are rich and handsome, but they speak less than alcoholics on the street, need strict education.
The far water cannot save the near fire, so the plan to educate and transform the French nobles was taken seriously after Corbyn was transformed into a copycat by the noble people of France.
After the nobles who had been plundering the dead and the wine of Corbin for a long time, the happy Loli came to have fun with Corbin with three pieces of bread as big as a fist.
The French army's food was decreasing... The efforts of Duke Alenson on the Tao side had a result, thanks to Joan of Arc's previous several times, overturning several main forces of the Pochilber Kingdom with more victory and fewer cars, blocking the two in front of the Duke of Anjou... The towns were willing to let the French army pass, but they did not surrender. In the past, Duke Alenson's old subordinates just chose neutrality, which is the so-called mutual non-conference.
The Duke of Alonson returned to the French army and his face was not very good... Corbyn learned from the messenger he sent back first.
The Duke of Alonson said unhappily: "They are not willing to provide us with food."
The French nobles looked very good. The entire army's grain storage was just enough to support the Principality of Anjou, but I don't know if the Principality of Anjou will be replenished immediately. It would be bad if the conflict between their army and the Principality of Anjou was caused by the food.
Corbin said: "No one will be unable to get along with the money. Since they are unwilling to provide it for free, won't we buy it yet? Your Excellency the Duke did not disclose our grain storage to the other party."
The Duke of Alonson said awkwardly: "Sorry, I have revealed some that the people in these two cities have roughly learned that we are short of food."
Corbin smiled bitterly: "That would be a big deal. Even if the other party does not lock down the city, he will make us suffer a lot in the food transaction."
Lionel reminded his son: "But we don't have much money on hand. Rifle, whom you brought out from Tour, has used all the money to appease the civilians and soldiers.
Corbyn smiled slightly... took out a ring on his finger. It was an engagement ring with Isabella. He held the ring and shook it in front of everyone: "We have no money, but we have these jewelry. They are very small and expensive. And I also know that these jewelry means a lot to everyone, just like my ring, which is an ornament for my engagement with my fiancée. But for the lives of tens of thousands of people in the army, I don't care about so much. I hope that afterwards, Isabella will not remove my bones."
Corbyn even took out his fiancee's engagement ring. How could other French nobles be embarrassed to not produce any blood? Duke Alonson could only keep apologizing to his comrades, in the tent... The noble people of the French army donated thirty-eight different rings with gems, seven necklaces, and fifteen belts with gold ornaments.
Jill thought about it and deducted the gems on the sword sheath, and others also followed suit and took out expensive personal supplies.
Corbyn handed all these things to the Duke of Alenson, but he secretly took the engagement ring back to the Duke of Alenson, and the price he paid was all the valuable things in his tent.
The expensive jewelry is often inlaid with gems purchased at high prices. Although these things are not weighing more than twenty pounds or less than twenty kilograms, if they are put on the market, they can earn at least more than 100,000 livres or more than 500 Florins. Dozens of Florins are enough to buy enough 4,000 people from the poor Swiss mountainous areas to spend several months on grain, and 500 Florins exchange for 40,000 people eating for two months will make a fortune in other places.
However, due to the lack of experience of the Duke of Alonson, the French army paid such a huge price, and the excuse of these two towns on the pretext that they needed some food to support the residents in the city, the precious jewelry worth more than 500 Florin was exchanged for half a month's food for all the French personnel. But no matter what, the French army finally overcomes a difficult situation and safely leads the people to the Principal of Anjou. There, the French government affairs meeting chaired by Yolande sent the continuous resources near Tours through the bridges and beams of Anjou on the banks of the Loire River to Le Mans, the important town of Tao Line.
There, Viscount Nallbang, the commander of the Mann War Zone, assembled a force of three thousand people, and in Angers, his Yushou was organizing the transfer of a large number of civilians sent to the battlefield of the Tao Line through the parliament.
The British army near Rouen was stunned by Rashiel's chaotic offensive, thinking that the French army was going to attack the northern army. The newly won cities in the south were like Sans, and Troyes were all sharp. The letters of the country of Pochilber and the letters of the Normandy were sent to the camp of King Henry, along with other bad news. Faced with such a crisis, King Yuli of the British could not respond because he did not have enough troops!
The situation in France seemed to be turning danger into safety. Both Britain and France were accumulating momentum in the next more intense conflict. On the Iberian Peninsula, which was also in constant war in the south, this land was once conquered by the Romans, Germans and Moors. Nuno, a famous general of the Portuguese Kingdom, led 6,000 Portuguese Kings** and Duke Vascania on one side and two,000 to fight with the Duke of Cantabria's 13,000 troops in the mountainous areas next to the capital of the Kingdom of Castile.
Nuno used the mountainous terrain line to defeat the cavalry of the Duke of Cantabria Army and then concentrated his forces to raid the enemy's left wing. The Duke of Cantabria Army was defeated, with countless casualties. According to Nuno, it was estimated that it was at least half of its military power, but the King of Portuguese Island and his allies had paid thousands of people.
To the south, Duke Thucillo led 4,000 subordinates to fight with the Kingdom of Allazi and the Duke of Cantabria, 5,000, and both sides had their own victories and losses. However, everyone knew that this was a Taoist opera, and the real decisive battle had to be fought after their vassals gathered together.
To the west of France, the front line of the Kingdom of Pomitch, the 20,000 three-hus rebel army formed by the Holy Grail faction and the Taborites fought fiercely with the five armies of the German kings.
Twenty-three,000 against 83, the Bomichia border suddenly became a scorched earth. The Taborites' one-eyed dragon Jessica, Yang once again showed his might and defeated the two German kings in a row. The other two were led by the big, and the upper Krocop brothers successfully defeated the enemy. Only the last army of the Crusaders called by the German Kingdom, under the command of Hung Yati, followed by the Jessica, Yang, and Krocop brothers and then remained undefeated and retreated outside the Bomichi Kingdom.
The third crusade of the German Kingdom barely retained some face than the second complete failure. However, as the news of the failure spread, the Holy Roman Empire was furious and they were completely angry. The German king Sigismund, who called on the crusade, shirked responsibility for his worries about losing face. So an unexpected joy appeared. At a meeting, Sigismund clamored that if he was the emperor of the empire, he would do whatever he wanted. The four electoral emperors and three electoral bishops unanimously elected the old gangster to become the emperor of the empire!
Sigismund's only mission to become the emperor of the empire is to use the emperor's majesty to coordinate the power of the empire to find a place for the Holy Roman Empire!
The irritated and embarrassed Holy Roman Empire was finally willing to let go of its prejudice, hatred and dissatisfaction against Sigismund. The dignified imperial elites were conceivable how badly the Pomilius was beaten by the Pomis. The 80,000 troops came back only less than 30%.
