Movie World I Am A King
Chapter 1229 Zhou Ye's Careful Thoughts
Zhou Ye was sitting not far from John V. Although the attendant's voice was extremely low, he did not hide it from his ears.
[Lord Lorraine has already set off to go back. Before he left, he angrily accused His Highness that you have no intention of sharing the worries of His Majesty Charles VI... He also said that next time, he will come with an army...]
The above is what Zhou Ye heard the attendant whisper in the ear of John V...
Zhou Ye knew that the Charles VI mentioned by the attendants was the current ruler of the Valois dynasty, and he could also be regarded as the king of France. It's just that this king was a bit miserable. He lost the battle with Ying, and had to sign the Treaty of Troyes, which was almost an agreement of subjugation... It can be said that he is the most failed of all Valois dynasties. Monarch, none of them.
But - what does this have to do with Zhou Ye? He has no interest in the war between these two countries... In Zhou Ye's view, the harder the two countries fight, the better... The more people die, the better...
On the other side, John V, who heard the news, is really shocked and angry now...
He originally left the Earl of Lorraine in Nantes, the capital of the principality, in order to let the king's special envoy hang out a bit. At least when he asked him to speak, he should not open his mouth like a lion, and he could leave a little room... 330
However, I didn't expect that the young envoy of the king was so anxious that he left after a disagreement...Obviously, the next step-maybe the Principality of Brittany is about to usher in a war...
Do you want to ask King Henry V for help? After all - the Principality of Brittany is now nominally part of the territory of the Kingdom of Ying...
But—this idea just passed through John V's mind for a while, and he immediately gave up this idea...
There are two reasons why the Duke of Brittany gave up this idea. First, if he asks Henry V for help, it means that he will surrender under the banner of Henry V. It was unacceptable for John V, who remained independent.
Second, although Brittany was assigned to the Kingdom of Ying, the borders of Brittany border all parts of France... If he really asks for help like Henry V, then he will be regarded as a traitor by the surrounding lords ...and that's the worst part.
War, John V was not afraid to fight France - but, he couldn't fight it...
Don't think that France can't defeat the British, but this doesn't mean that Brittany can also contend against the French army alone. If Brittany had such a war potential, he would have declared independence a long time ago...
This——, is really embarrassing for the Duke of Brittany...
At this moment, John V suddenly saw the leisurely Zhou Ye sitting beside him, and his eyes lit up... "Mr. Zhou Ye, may I ask how many attendants you brought with you for this trip to Europe?"
John V didn't ask for too much, as long as Zhou Ye brought about a thousand attendants, he would be worthy of the Valois dynasty... He estimated that even if it was a war, the Valois dynasty could gather 20,000 soldiers, and that would be enough. Even if it is too much, after all-France has just experienced the Hundred Years War, and the land is devastated, so how can there be so many soldiers...
Although there are only more than 20,000 French soldiers, but-John V couldn't even afford more than 20,000 soldiers... There is no way, medieval Europe is a worse era.
"Hehe..." Zhou Ye understood John V's thoughts in seconds. He smiled slightly and said, "Does Your Excellency want to hire my attendants to participate in this war?"
"...Yes, Mr. Zhou Ye! I want to hire your entourage to help me win this war." John V no longer cared about figuring out why Zhou Ye would know what he wanted to do, and now he was full of it Thoughts on how to deal with this coming war. "Excuse me, do you have a thousand attendants? Are they all powerful knights equipped with that kind of super armor?"
"...You..." Zhou Ye was just about to refuse John V's employment, after all - he is not interested in helping foreigners fight... But when he heard a sweet voice from the lady's district, After the sound, he instantly changed his mind. "Of course no problem, Your Excellency, I can accept your employment. I don't have many attendants, but--enough to help you win the war in front of you...But, my asking price is not low..."
"Price is not a problem, Mr. Zhou Ye... How about ten silver coins a day for your subordinate's employment?" John V tentatively asked, this price is not low, you know, even the famous Swiss Mercenaries are only five silver coins per person per day.
"Hehe..." Zhou Ye smiled slightly and shook his head, "Don't worry...We Easterners are different from you Westerners. After we help you win this war, let's discuss the price..."
"Hmm..." John V pondered for a moment, then finally nodded and agreed to Zhou Ye's request.
Of course he knows that Zhou Ye doesn't talk about the price now, it doesn't mean that Zhou Ye is a good person and helps him win this war for free, but that Zhou Ye wants more...
However, does John V still have a choice at this moment? Unless he is willing to appeal to the King of England, he has no choice...
Now go to Switzerland to hire mercenaries there? are you kidding me What time do you think it is now? After going back and forth, it is estimated that the Principality of Brittany will be destroyed...
It can be said that John V, who has nothing to do now, is ready to be slaughtered by Zhou Ye...Of course, he also has a little luck in his heart, it is best that Zhou Ye's attendants are in this war , fight to the death with the French army... In this way, maybe he doesn't even have to pay the final employment fee...
How could John V's careful thinking be hidden from Zhou Ye?
But Zhou Ye didn't care, and no one could rely on him... Let alone a duke of the Duchy of Brittany, so what if he was the emperor of the empire? I want to rely on him... Hehe...
The two settled the employment matters, and then asked the clerk to initial an employment agreement... The scene became lively again, and the big stone in John V's heart finally fell to the ground.
With great interest, he introduced Zhou Ye to the ongoing parade below the city...
At this moment, the corpses of the dozen or so knights killed by Sonia, their horses, and their horses were cleared away... Maybe it was the guards, or maybe the followers of the knights. In short, the parade that was terminated started again. ...
This time, there are no knights leading the battle anymore... Although there are still many knights present, they have been frightened by Sonia... No one wants to join the parade...
Now in the front of the parade, there are ladies dressed in beauties, and in the middle, there are all kinds of jugglers... After that are some serfs and businessmen watching the excitement...
Although there were no knights on tall horses clearing the way ahead, those who participated in the parade still had a great time, as if the massacre just now hadn't happened...
