Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Duke Humphrey heard that Zhu Zhanyi said he wanted to inquire about the events of the year, so he said, "Can you give me a piece of clothing to keep out the wind first?"

Zhu Zhanqian gave him a look, and his subordinates took a blanket to cover him. After all, it was ugly to see a fat man naked.

Ah Choo
Duke Humphrey sneezed, wiped his nose, and curled up in the quilt. He shivered when the cold wind blew by. He just faced the people of Daming. Now was not the time to be wronged. He had to find a way to survive.

"Sir, could I have a cup of hot tea?"

"Come and boil a pot of boiling water and pour it on him."

"No, no, no more." Duke Humphrey immediately relented.

"Stop talking nonsense to me, and speak quickly."

"Yes, yes, it was like this at the beginning. Back then we and the French clashed with Ming's army, and we were beaten to pieces. At first we thought you were reinforcements from the French, and even thought they were using Some kind of alien army summoned by sorcery, and later found out that they lost worse than us, so I can rest assured."

"Fortunately, not many people came at that time, so Da Ming's army just defeated us, and was unable to occupy these places. After a few battles, we also found that the firepower of the Da Ming army was much less, so we guessed that the Ming army's ammunition should not be enough. gone."

"It's just that no one dared to take action against Daming's army easily. Later, under the instigation of the ministers, the French king feigned surrender to Zheng He, and showed the attitude of establishing a trade relationship with Daming. We negotiated the specifics of these matters, including being a vassal to Ming, but we wanted Ming to help us against Yinggelan. The attitude is sincere and the monarch is taking the lead, so be convincing."

"I believe that Ming's envoys must have doubted it, but the other party is his own monarch. It is impossible for the monarch of any country to be so dishonest and disregarding decency, but that lunatic can. You can't predict his actions at all. When the negotiations were almost completed, he invited Zheng He to a French dinner, and then we got the news that Ming’s envoy Zheng He was arrested by the King of France.”

After Zheng He was arrested, he was insulted by the king of France, the mad king, the lovely Charles VI.

Zhu Zhanqian took out a small notebook and wrote down the name of Charles VI. This is his most certain enemy now. Because he was curious that Zheng He was an eunuch, he humiliated him in every possible way, making him lose his dignity and dignity. .

You can't expect to communicate normally with a lunatic. Duke Humphrey didn't know the specifics of Zheng He's experience in France. He carefully selected what he could tell clearly.

"and after!?"

There seemed to be endless anger waiting to be vented in Zhu Zhanqian's eyes, and Duke Humphrey's heart trembled when he saw it.

"Later, for some unknown reason, the Duke of Burgundy in France bought Daming's envoy from Charles VI. I don't know the specifics. Your Excellency may not understand our side. Our practice regarding captives is that as long as If the captive’s family or others can pay enough ransom to sell him, even though the Duke of Burgundy in France is already an ally of our Ingoland, he can still buy the envoy from France in the end.”

In this chaotic place, these things are not unusual.

"Later, it was the envoy who came to me to negotiate and find a way to redeem you." Duke Humphrey looked at Hou Xian: "I took a fancy to Daming's steam warship and firearms, so I agreed to it. Xin Wan worked hard to negotiate with the Duke of Burgundy many times, and spent a lot of money to exchange the envoy directly, and handed it over to the Ming army."

Duke Humphrey tried his best to beautify his role in this matter, portraying himself as a good person who helped the Ming army.

Hou Xian said: "Your Highness, after the redemption was completed, our army left, and this person intended to use a steam warship to chase our army. Fortunately, our army still had some ammunition left at that time, so we used artillery to force them back without a frontal conflict. "

"This... this... was the envoy who wanted to send Daming off at that time." Duke Humphrey tried his best to cover it up.

Zhu Zhan put his hand on the armrest of the chair, clenched the armrest unconsciously, suppressed the anger in his heart, and tried to speak as calmly as possible to prevent himself from shouting: "When Zheng He came back, he lost his hands, one leg, and his tongue. , who did it?"

"I... I, he was like that when I got him from our king."

"Your king? That kid? Why is your king involved?"

Duke Humphrey said with a guilty conscience: "Because we have a bad relationship with John, Duke of Bedford, our other Duke Regent of Ingoland, and the Duke of Burgundy in France has a very good relationship with him, so for the first time When I negotiated with the Duke of Burgundy for the redemption, I was rejected, and the other party offered a sky-high price that I couldn’t pay, so I finally asked the king to mediate.”

"He's a teenager mediating between the two of you? Do you think it's feasible?"

Duke Humphrey shook his hand quickly and said: "Your Excellency, although the king is still young, his mother and his mother's adulterous lover, a Welsh noble businessman named Owen Tudor, acted as a mediator in the middle. Only then can I redeem the envoy, but before the envoy comes to me, it will be in their hands for a month."

Zhu Zhanqian also understood that he could not tell the truth completely, but the specific process should be correct, from the king of France to the Duke of Burgundy, to the family of King Ingoland and to the Duke of Humphrey.

Death Note first writes down the names of several people, so as not to find the wrong person.

Seeing that he could not get any useful information, Zhu Zhanqian asked people to continue to throw Duke Humphrey into the water for torture, which eventually caused Duke Humphrey to faint directly. There was no other information, so he ordered people to go to the hospital first. take him down.

He should be killed, but it is not so simple to let him die, now he still has a great use.

The night soldier came to report: "Your Highness, the other Ingolan soldiers have finished interrogating them. They should have plotted to capture France's Joan of Arc this time, because Joan's morale and reputation are too great now. They lost the battle." The battle of Orleans was missed, and the opportunity to conquer France in one go was missed, so the two dukes decided to join forces to deal with Joan of Arc first."

Sure enough, it was a conspiracy, but his own appearance saved Joan from the side, which made Zhu Zhanqian start to think whether Joan can really communicate with the so-called god.

Shaking his head, Zhu Zhanqian thought of Yao Guangxiao when he thought of these gods and ghosts. Yao Guangxiao also seemed to be able to predict, who could say it clearly.

Helping Joan of Arc in a disguised form, Zhu Zhanqian probably guessed that this might be a trap, intentional, so he had to figure out how to find this woman to collect interest.

Hou Xian stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, what should we do next?"

"Is there enough ammunition?"

"Your Highness can still fight."

"When Duke Humphrey wakes up, we are going to set off for Ingoland. Ingoland still has four steam warships, so we can't take it lightly."

Zhu Zhanyan put the next itinerary on Yinggelan. Since the Duke Regent of Ingeland has been captured, there is no reason not to make a good use of it.

……

The group of Joan of Arc, who were ambushing in the French mainland, had not seen the arrival of Duke Humphrey and his party for a long time. Joan of Arc knew that Zhu Zhanqian had made a move, and it must have succeeded, which made her feel a little happy.

"Everyone and the whole army are ready to fight, not to relax, and ready to fight at any time."

And the other Duke of Ingoland, John, waited left and right for the arrival of Duke Humphrey, and turned around in a hurry.

"My lord, it won't go on like this. The other party will definitely become suspicious. Even if Duke Humphrey doesn't come, our sudden attack will definitely catch them by surprise."

Duke John hesitated again and again. He was [-]% unhappy with Joan of Arc and [-]% afraid. He didn't know why as long as the army led by Joan of Arc could always beat the shit out of their team.

It was very difficult to design to deceive Joan of Arc, and now Duke Humphrey is pulling his hips. I don’t know why he hasn’t arrived, and the news from the sea can’t come out.

The sea battle was earth-shattering, but no British troops escaped, no ships escaped, and the news did not leak out, so Duke John did not know what happened.

He was quite afraid of Joan of Arc, but finally decided to do it.

Taking advantage of this, Duke John's army attacked Joan's troops from the rear.

But as soon as the two armies met, Duke John's team discovered that Joan's team was not preparing to attack the port at all, but was preparing to counterattack them.

With the sound of the explosion, Joan of Arc rode a white horse and charged forward with the firearms of the Ming army, and the troops rushed into the British army's position like a bamboo.

"My lord, it's not good. Joan of Arc rushed over with the army. They knew it was a trap from the beginning, and they were just waiting for us."

Duke John was shocked: "What's going on, what's going on? Could it be that Humphrey, the bastard, cooperated with Joan of Arc to kill me? He hasn't come for a long time, and Joan of Arc has been prepared for a long time. It must be like this, damn it Damn it, hit me, kill Joan."

"My lord, you should retreat first, Joan of Arc's army is too strong, and our first front line has been broken through."

Duke John climbed onto his horse in a panic: "Retreat, retreat."

After supporting for less than an hour, Duke John ordered to retreat. Although he was called Fearless John, that was before, since Joan of Arc appeared, he should be called Cowardly John.

Before he left, he put down his cruel words: "I must capture this woman alive, I will strip her alive."

Speak the harshest words, run the fastest way, Duke John fled extremely fast, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The French army cheered. Under the leadership of Joan of Arc, they won another big victory, but Joan of Arc did not get carried away. She got on her horse again, raised her flag high, and shouted: "Son of France, Let us go on, let us charge on the enemy, and take back the coast of France."

Joan of Arc wants to take advantage of this opportunity and take advantage of the momentum of this great victory to regain the first coastal port on the northern line for France.

The French soldiers followed one after another, and the army pursued. Duke John himself took the lead and ran first. The British army did not have the mood to fight.

The French army took this area with great momentum, and the official garrison was here.

When the dawn sun fell, Joan of Arc held a flagpole and stood on the sea. The sun rose from the east and fell on the sea to the west. This was the first time Joan of Arc saw this sea.

France has lost this piece of sea for too long, her eyes filled with tears, and the ends of her hair were messed up by the sea breeze.

She reached out and stroked her hair: "It seems to be a little longer, and it has to be cut short."

She has forgotten how long she has been wearing men's clothing for the war, and she has forgotten that she is still a teenage girl. She has no right and time to love beauty, and she has lost a lot.

"Go back and report to His Royal Highness, we have regained the land here." Joan of Arc ordered to her subordinates.

"Your Excellency Joan of Arc, I think we should retreat." Joan's subordinates had different opinions.

"Why?"

"Ingolan's army has forces at sea that we can't resist. Now we have captured the coastal area and defended it. If the opponent's offensive is fierce, our army may be difficult to resist."

Not being able to fight is a distressing thing, and being defeated is also a distressing thing, because they can't keep it.

Ingoland's sea army was already stronger than them, and they had lost their coastline for so long and had no ships, while the British army had Ming's steam warships, there was no comparison at all.

"No, I can't retreat." I really made a decision.

"But……"

"There is nothing wrong with us. If we want to retake the land of France, we will eventually go to the sea. Unless we don't want these lands, we will never be ready. God gave me enlightenment. We will rebuild the glory of France. Even if I die, I will not easily give up any of our land."

Joan of Arc was always very contagious, she was born with that inspiring power, her words contained firmness and unyielding, and her followers were infected.

"Swear to follow Your Majesty Joan to the death!"

"Swear to follow Your Majesty Joan to the death!"

"God bless France!!"

After everyone left, Joan was relieved. Isn't she worried about the attack of the Ingoland Navy?
It's just that she felt that the Duke of Humphrey didn't arrive at the port this time, so she must have been attacked by the Ming army. As long as the Ming army defeated the Ingolan navy, the master of this sea would change hands, so she didn't seem to have to Worried about Ingoland's navy.

But the Ming army can't be regarded as her ally, it's just a temporary cooperation for the greater benefit, she led the disaster to Ying Gelan, but she knew that Zhu Zhanqian would definitely come back, no one could stop her Conquer his determination to revenge.

She looked at the sea, and her heart was churning with huge waves. She felt that the prince of France is the real lord of France, and the current mad king is the root of all disasters. Maybe she can find a way to get Zhu Zhanqian to get rid of the mad king and assist the prince to ascend the throne. It is the right way.

How to do it?
