The Rise of the European Emperor

In the days that followed, it became a drama for French farmers to rush to the city to seek refuge with their "relatives". After laying down their weapons, the French soldiers accepted these southern French farmers who were forced to rush up the city wall in a gentlemanly manner.

But once or twice is okay, but after a few times, when there are thousands of French farmers in the city, the French feel that something is wrong-Nimma, food!

If one or two thousand French farmers come in, the French may not care. After all, there is enough grain piled up in the city. However, six or seven thousand people have been accepted, but the Spaniards are still driving the French farmers into the city, which is very problematic. Now, even fools can see it—the Spaniards just let these French farmers share the food and grass in the city!

What? You said that you can deny these farmers food and starve them to death? Even, can these peasants be killed as military rations?

If it was in ancient China, this might be no problem. From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period onwards, the kings of China stopped talking about morality, and they were completely shameless. In order to succeed, the Chinese monarchs and generals can do whatever they can. For example, during the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, in order to defend Suiyang and prevent the rebels from going south to the Jianghuai grain-producing areas, the guard Zhang Xun would rather eat human flesh to survive than insist on defending the city when the grain and grass were exhausted. In the end, he used less than 7,000 troops to hold back the 180,000 Anlushan rebels for 10 months, preserving the lifeline of the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, because the strategic goal of preserving the vitality of the Tang Dynasty was achieved, after Zhang Xunzhan's death, he was posthumously given to the governor and went to Lingyan Pavilion.

Of course, this is Huaxia, only looking at the results, not the process. However, in this era of Europe...

Why? Because the king of France and the emperor of China are two professions. It is not a question of who is noble, but a question of power. Regardless of the fact that the French king is already the most centralized monarch among European monarchs. But compared with the Emperor Huaxia, he is still a younger brother.

Even if the King of France had deprived the great nobles of their autonomy in their territories, it had only deprived them of the right to support their own troops. Politically, the French king also had to compromise with the great nobles. The so-called parliament, its predecessor, was just a place for the great nobles to express their opinions, and had nothing to do with the people.

If Louis XII dared to starve these French peasants to death, he would be accused by the great nobles of the parliament in the future, and even take away some of his rights. The reason is simple—the king can't protect their people... Although these nobles are usually nothing, and there are many fish and meat people, if the king finds evidence for them, he will be fought.

The reason for this has nothing to do with the aristocracy, but with the Catholic concept of "God so loved the world". Europe is the Christian world, and the king has to be patient when facing the church. France is already the most powerful country that is not afraid of the Holy See, but it can't mess around. In particular, the international situation has changed. Now France is surrounded by enemies—the two powerful countries of the Iberian Peninsula, Aragon and Castile in the southwest, have merged into one.

Together against France; the Habsburg family is also a deadly enemy with France because of the territorial issue of Burgundy; Needless to say, England is the enemy of life and death...

Therefore, in the case of not being able to use Wushuang to crush other countries, the King of France must also pay attention to his influence and dare not act recklessly, for fear of being caught by others and then beaten by groups.

As for killing those peasants as military rations? No kidding, if Louis XII dared to do that, the Pope would definitely excommunicate him and excommunicate him. Then, he couldn't even be a king. Because, the canon stipulates that nobles should not be loyal to non-Christian kings... Once excommunicated, Shenluo's Henry IV is a lesson from the past...

Therefore, the six or seven thousand French farmers who poured into the city became a hot potato. Moreover, Gonzalo de Cordoba is still transporting French farmers to rush up the walls of Naples...

...

"What should I do? Ladies and gentlemen, it seems like a solution!" Louis XII said anxiously.

Now he is very embarrassed, and it is definitely not possible to accept French farmers. However, facing the persecution of the Spaniards, they could not find an excuse for not accepting it. You can't say - I don't have much food, why don't you come? This will be severely criticized by public opinion...

It was Charles, the former Duke of Geddes, who thought of a way:

"Your Majesty, why don't we refuse the people behind to climb the city wall on the grounds that 'the enemy is mixed in'?"

Louis XII nodded and said:

"It's a good excuse, but how do we treat those French peasants rushing towards the city wall? We can't face each other with swords, right? That would be like 'the king ordered the massacre of his own people'..."

"Use the shield soldiers to knock them down with the shield in both hands, and don't let them go up the wall!" Charlie thought ideally.

Louis XII nodded, thinking that was the only way to go. So, in the following days, the French mobilized a large number of shield players, holding shields with both hands, to guard the part where the siege ladder connects to the city wall...

While shouting "There are spies among you, stay away from the city wall", they mercilessly used their shields to forcefully knock the rushing French peasants back, or they simply knocked them off the ladder and fell off the city wall...

At the same time, the French mobilized a large number of warriors to slash the secondary ladders on the city wall with battle axes, destroying them and blocking the way for French peasants to rush up the city wall.

Seeing this situation, Gonzalo de Cordoba gave an order after pondering for a long time:

"Build more ladders to expand the range of French farmers climbing the city. In addition, find a group of blacksmiths and build a batch of iron ladders!"

Therefore, the following days became a time for the French army and French farmers to battle wits and courage.

The French soldiers wanted to stop the French peasants from going to the city, but they could not use swords on them, they could only knock them back. The French peasants, on the other hand, were more miserable. Because, the Spaniards ordered - if you dare to retreat, you will be killed without mercy.

Therefore, climbing the city wall is an important way for them to survive. Driven by a strong desire to survive, even if most people were knocked off the city wall and became disabled, it was difficult to stop the French peasants from fleeing to the city wall and seeking the protection of their own king.

In this way, although most of the people were knocked down, some people managed to take advantage of the chaos to climb up the city wall, and lay on the city wall and lingered on. Moreover, while lying and rolling, he cried:

"Master, please help me, I will fall to my death!" As a result, many French soldiers couldn't bear to do it again. Only the section where the Swiss defended did not work well. Because the Swiss mercenaries speak German, they don't understand what the French peasants are crying, they only know how to execute orders. For those French peasants lying on the city wall begging for mercy, these Swiss mercenaries lifted them up mercilessly and threw them off the city wall...

In desperation, there are more and more French farmers in the city, and they are close to 10,000. The food they consume every day is also an astronomical figure. Even if the French generals gave these farmers very little food, it would be a huge burden for so many people together...

"What should I do?" Louis XII asked again.

"Open the north gate, there are no Spaniards in the north, let these farmers return home by land!" Charlie sighed and suggested.

"What if the enemy takes the opportunity to attack the city?" Some nobles raised objections.

Charlie sneered and said:

"We are not afraid of the Spaniards' strong attack at all, but we are afraid that they will act like this. If the Spaniards take advantage of the opportunity of opening the city gate and storm the north gate, that's just right, let them see the superb martial arts of the French knights!"

Louis XII immediately slapped the table and said:

"Yes, what we want is to let them attack, not afraid of them coming, but afraid of them not coming!"

Then, early the next morning, the tens of thousands of French farmers who poured into the city were each given a few small silver coins, allowing them to buy food along the way back home. Then, the north gate of Naples was opened, and the peasants were forcibly driven out of the city by the French knights...

...

Seeing the French driving the peasants out of the city, Gonzalo de Cordoba was taken aback. So he ordered aloud:

"Castilian (backless) cavalry attack, must drive those French peasants back. Tell those French peasants in French-if you want to leave, kill without mercy!"

As a result, thousands of Spanish halter cavalry came to the north gate, frantically intercepted and killed the French farmers who wanted to leave, and drove them back. Moreover, these Spanish cavalry shouted in the unskilled French taught by their superiors:

"If you want to leave, kill Wushe!"
