Chapter three hundred and fifty second death knell

Monk Acosta was able to travel among the messengers of the Christian world for his employer Philip.

While lobbying the envoys sent by the great nobles of Ferrancis, they contacted small Protestant countries such as Navarra, hoping that they would convert to God again.

This actually made Navarra's messengers a little confused. It was not that it was too difficult for them to convert to Catholicism again, but that Navarra Henry had previously thought that this conspiracy would be conspired.

Because just like Protestant countries such as Sweden, the United Kingdom of Denor, the Netherlands, etc., the Kingdom of Navarra has not received invitations from the General Assembly of the World.

Their envoys were almost the same as Asuba Duer, who also came to find out the news. The difference was that the envoys they followed were not someone else, but were defeated by Chen Jiujing, Armand Degonto, Duke of Billon of Ferranxi.

The old general had been very sympathetic to the rebellious army of Navarra in the past and grew up watching Princess Margo since childhood. Therefore, after Henry Navarra sent people to contact him, he immediately agreed to let those Navarra spies join his envoys and arrive in the New World as entourages.

Then, Navarra's messenger quietly tried to spy on the information while hiding from Tibet, but nothing was spied out and the Spaniards were able to see through it.

However, he did not expect that the Spanish messenger Monk Acosta would treat them as messengers of the kingdom and hold a very formal meeting, hoping to go back and tell Navarra Henry to convert to God again and continue fighting under the same battle.

Keep fighting, the word is very terrifying.

The Navarra war was over, and Henry ultimately failed to make Navarra a refuge for Chen Jiujing. Instead, because Chen Jiujing became the Duke of Baishan, he was eventually forced to stop the religious war with the Ferran Xivalois royal family.

They had no chance of winning any further. Whether it was weak but popular Navarra Kingdom or the powerful and slow Ferranxi Kingdom, they did not want Chen Jiujing's troops to stand opposite them.

The most important thing is that even if Henry of Navarra insists on going to war, he can't come up with anything to win over Chen Jiujing. The Valois royal family can give money, but Navarra can't. Even if the Valois royal family has no money, he can still let the king kowtow to Chen Jiujing to pay for the money.

To be honest, Navara Henry felt that even if he kowtowed to Chen Jiujing, it would not be worth that much money.

It even made him feel that Fei Lanxi's third brother was a bit stupid. If such a good opportunity was placed in front of him and he would be able to knock the Ming Empire to bankruptcy.

It only takes a year to kowtow to Chen Jiujing twice, and Navarra Henry can easily get everything he wants.

Every year when the Navarra Kingdom kowtows, the Navarra Kingdom can hire 9,000 Swiss Army soldiers after re-selling, and the remaining twelve months of military operations will cost. If there is no military operation, the money will be enough to allow them to stay for three years.

Every year, kowtow again in the twelfth lunar month. Not only does every citizen in the kingdom have a chicken in the pot on weekends, but it is not a problem to stew fish. This great dream can be easily realized through kowtow monetization.

Unfortunately, Navarra Henry still has such self-knowledge. He knew that he and the little ragged kingdom in his own nest - he was not worthy of kowtowing, he was not worthy of kowtowing!

It's fucking sad to think about it.

But re-converting to Catholicism? The messenger of the Navarra Kingdom agreed very well, but he felt very dissatisfied.

He also converted to Catholicism, and Navarra Henry didn't even want Protestantism recently.

Their kingdom is close to Baishan, and the Duke of Baishan has a good relationship with the king. The subjects below have frequent business and human relations.

After the external pressure of religious war disappeared, the people wandered around Baishan all day long, and the relaxed environment also made the religious atmosphere of their kingdom fade.

The monks who were born into Protestantism were not very happy. If they proposed to convert to Catholicism, they should rebel.

The monks are definitely unhappy. Others are free to go to Baishan, but they are the key observers in Baishan. All the monasteries and churches have been demolished there, and there is no place to pray. The soldiers treat them like thieves. The light poles on the roadside are all monks from Western and French who are trying to preach in Baishan.

Who doesn’t want to master Baishan’s powerful combat force through missionary work? It’s just that these methods have failed.

In fact, there are many religious people under the Duke of Baishan. Chen Jiujing's army is mainly divided into two battalions. One is the Beiyang Banner Army, whose ratio of propaganda officers and soldiers is 1 to 9; the other is the Jurchen army recruited between the Black Water of Baishan.

The Jurchen troops were basically one to eight in proportion to tribe leaders, and each tribe leader was a great shaman with pre-war divination power.

If we continue to subdivided, there is also Tianzhuang Tuanlian, which is mainly based on the Ming Dynasty immigration. One surname is a clan, and the leader of each clan brings the clan to sacrifice to the sky during the holidays.

These military aristocratic groups pay attention to a unified mind, go to them to preach and make fun of it?

Now Acosta of Spain tells the Navarre Kingdom messengers to convert to God and continue fighting in the future.

It can scare the Navarre messenger to death.

Who do you want to take me to fight? But let it go, our kingdom still eats chicken, and I don’t want to fight.

However, outside the Kingdom of Navarra, Acosta’s lobbying was effective.

The Jinyiwei, who arrived in Asia with King Lu, monitored Acosta and kept telling him who he met, how long the meeting lasted, and what did the other party take away when he left to the military government office.

At the same time, Zhao Shizhen was also constantly moving, trying to pay some insignificant prices to win people's hearts in order to know what they were talking about in secret.

Some people are bribed, while others are not. It is difficult for those who are bribed to distinguish the authenticity when they provide information.

But in the eyes of Chen Mu and Ye Mengxiong, an anti-French alliance dominated by Spain has indeed been established under the nose of the Eastern Military Palace.

This alliance is mainly composed of the great feudal lords of the Holy Roman Empire in Spain, and is mixed with some feudal lords in the Ferrancis Kingdom who were dissatisfied with the Valois royal family.

Speaking of which, this dissatisfaction is actually related to the Ming Dynasty.

It is mainly reflected in the Valois royal family's compromise with Chen Jiujing and the damage caused to the kingdom by the continuous religious wars, which makes people suspect that the Valois royal family lacks the ability to rule the country.

The most important point is that the indemnity to the Ming Dynasty wiped out the Valois royal family and hollowed out their wealth.

In the land of Europa in this era, a feudal aristocrat had no money. What else could he do? Can he still fight?

Without the endorsement of Philip of Spain, Ferrancis might have been a little late for the collapse, but now with the support of Habsburg, the largest catastrophe in Europa history is on the verge of being on the string.

For many people, this is the time.
