The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 1829: The Old Minister of Angoulême

Of course, although the refugees obeyed the rules, they would also embarrass Francois I. For example, every time a foreign envoy enters the city of Paris, the representatives of the victims of the disaster will enter the city at the same time to make a wish to prevent Francois I from coming to power in front of the foreign envoy.

He wanted to expel those representatives of public opinion, but they were very disciplined and did not do anything irregular. It is difficult to even find an excuse to expel them. Moreover, the foreign envoys were also very curious about the refugees besieging the city of Paris, and they often went out of the city to see what was new, which made the French Kingdom very embarrassed.

Among them, the British envoys did the most diligent work. Recently, Edward frequently sent envoys to Paris to cooperate with representatives of public opinion, as if to watch French jokes. If the representatives of those petitions were stopped by the guards, the envoys of England would deliberately intercede for them. It is not good for the French side to refuse, and it is not good if they do not refuse. It is very difficult to do...

In fact, not all disaster victims are honest. The reason why they are so honest is because Marin's men have cleaned those dishonest people.

At the beginning, seeing hundreds of thousands of victims who lost their land, there were indeed a small number of ambitious people who planned to imitate Robin Hood and start an uprising or something, rather than being addicted to being a leader. As for the future dead or not, it doesn't matter. Anyway, they are all starving to death, so it is better to be a robber and rob the nobles first, and live a life of big fish and meat for a while.

But there are too many spies from the North Sea country mixed in this group of refugees. If they are asked to revolt...Marin really thought about it, but when he thought of these inexperienced victims facing the fierce French knights...that is basically delivering food, okay? ?

Therefore, Marin directly issued a kill order, letting those spies pretend to be French official spies, and kill all those who incited the people to revolt.

After being frightened like this, the victims also came to their senses, knowing that this matter should not be done. Those who are not awake will continue to be cleaned up...

Along the way, a total of hundreds of dishonest militants among the disaster victims who wanted to rebel were killed by Beihai State spies in the name of "French court secret agents". When we arrived in Paris, no "monkey" dared to jump out and make trouble.

Moreover, the Beihai Kingdom also dispatched French-speaking spies who had served in the army to reorganize the victims, organize them into several camps according to their hometowns, and select middle-aged and elderly people with high prestige from among the victims to serve as disaster victims in various places. leader.

These middle-aged and elderly disaster victims leaders have lived for many years and are very familiar with the people and things in their hometown. Coupled with the many contacts later, I am familiar with the disaster victims under my management. It is not generally difficult for outsiders to get in.

Because of this fragmented management behavior similar to the Baojia system, those who were sent by King Francois I to instigate trouble were quickly found out and kicked out, which made Francois I and his ministers very helpless.

then,

Next, Francois I listened to the opinions of his ministers and deliberately provided only a small amount of food, so that the people could only drink dilute food. After a few days, many people were exhausted from hunger. Francois I wanted to use this method to force these victims away and let them go to various cities to make a living.

However, Marin also has a way to deal with it-he let the spies sneak through the Seine River and deliver food to the camps of the victims in the middle of the night. Then, mix it with a small amount of grain allocated by Francois I, and cook porridge for the victims.

In addition, in order to ensure that the leaders from all over the world can help appease the victims with peace of mind, Marin also secretly sent people to deliver bread through the Seine River into the camps of the victims in the middle of the night. Then, when the chiefs met in the tents of the main conference area, each was given black bread...

With enough food, the leaders of the disaster victims from all over the country naturally took their time and tried their best to help appease the victims. Although the victims were hungry and complained, but the leaders had spoken, and the thorns had been killed long ago, so naturally no one would jump out.

...

Francois I was depressed. Both of his methods were resolved by the victims, which really made him very helpless. He didn't even know that someone was targeting him, thinking that the victims could bear it.

Facing people who did not resist violently like Gandhi, François I also experienced the depression of the British in later generations. You want to kill each other? They didn't take violent measures...

Although this method is despised by others, the effect is not so good. However, the index of disgusting people is definitely high. This method of non-violent non-cooperation makes people want to kill but can't find an excuse.

If something like this happens in the colony, maybe it can be done more violently. Anyway, everyone can't see things in distant colonies.

However, if this happened in the capital, it would be very disgusting...

The capital is generally known as the most benevolent place. Although it is a bragging comparison, it is indeed the face of a country. Hundreds of thousands of disaster victims surrounded the city in Paris. If there was a trending search in this era, it would definitely rank first, embarrassing Francois I.

In desperation, Francois I had to find a way to solve the problem. It just so happened that he was going to build several inland shipyards, which required a large number of craftsmen. As a result, among the victims, all the farmers who were not very old and had carpentry skills were recruited away, and there were thousands of them.

But most of the rest had no skills, and the French court naturally looked down on them. And those thousands of carpenters also took away their families, a total of about 16,000 people.

However, this is also the limit. After all, due to the impact of war and smallpox, the French court had huge expenditures, and even had a deficit. Therefore, there is not so much money to resettle those victims. It is already the limit of the French royal family to arrange thousands of carpenters. This is also because the French royal family can tax the French church.

...

While Francois I and his courtiers were having a headache for the 300,000 "rule-abiding" disaster victims around Paris, John Lafite, one of Francois I's trusted ministers, secretly Doing one thing all the time - fooling people...

In a large French restaurant in Paris, John Lafite is entertaining Baron Bocourt, a close confidant of Francis I. This Baron Bogur, although his status is not important and his IQ is average, but he has a status that people value - the former minister of Angoulême!

The so-called old ministers of Angoulême refer to the subjects of François I as the Earl of Angoulême before he became the king of France.

Of course, when he was four years old, he was awarded the title of "Duke of Valois" and became the first heir to the Kingdom of France. But the Duke of Valois is just a title, and has no actual fiefdom. Moreover, at that time, people did not know whether Louis XII could have a male heir, so they would not really regard him as the crown prince, at most he would only be regarded as the crown prince's spare tire.

Therefore, the real identity of François I at that time was the great lord of the Earl of Angoulême in the Charente region. And his old ministers in the Earl of Angoulême are called "Angouleme old ministers", and they are also the most trusted group after François I ascended the throne.
