Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 314 Can France Quickly Beat England?

"In that case." Little Jeanna thought for a while: "What does Brother Kang think about the current situation in France?"

"I can have any ideas." Guo Kang said with a smile: "Other countries are none of my business, I just watch the excitement."

"Just give me a suggestion." Even if he directly refused, little Rangna urged: "I want to hear your opinion. What do you think I should do if I want to restore the decline over there?"

"In that case, I have three strategies: upper, middle, and lower." Guo Kang then replied.

"There are so many ways at once?" Zhu Wenkui was a little surprised: "Then let's talk about it quickly."

"In fact, it's not difficult. I believe anyone with a discerning eye can see the main problem now." Guo Kang replied: "The French system relies too much on the king himself. Now the king can't govern, the queen and the nobles go their own way, and the country Of course there will be problems."

"The best way, of course, is to establish a stable bureaucratic system. Among other things, it is enough to reach the level of the Western Jin Dynasty. You must know that the country was actually relatively stable before Empress Jia went crazy and killed the prince. Under Hua's actual management, the government and the public have been peaceful, and the domestic situation has been peaceful and stable."

"This is the effect of the system. Even if the court's legitimacy is extremely low, the emperor doesn't care at all, the empress is a person with psychological problems, and there are a lot of dishonest kings under her, as long as all parties maintain a balance temporarily, they can still maintain operations. In the end, it was because Empress Jia couldn't give birth to a child and went crazy in a hurry, which brought the situation to an end."

"So, if you want to cure the root cause, this is the right way."

"Which strategy is this?" Princess Jeanne asked curiously.

"Neither strategy is right, it's just theoretical analysis." Guo Kang said bluntly: "Because even in France, this is not feasible at all. The gap between the two sides is too great."

"Not to mention anything else, everyone has different requirements for the king. If the current His Majesty the King is in Seris, I am afraid that he can be a wise king." He said with some emotion.

"But, father, he really can't do anything now." Princess Jeanna said, "He can only show his face at the ceremony, and then sign and seal according to everyone's requirements."

"Then he can surpass more than half of the emperor Seris." Guo Kang said: "Because over there, as long as he doesn't mess around, he is enough to surpass most emperors in history. You know, compared with the emperors of all dynasties, Emperor Hui of Jin , are considered upper-middle.”

"It's not that there are low requirements for governance over there, but that the government's system is mature enough, and the lower limit brought by the system is very high, so the emperor's personal 'literary governance' ability has relatively reduced a lot of influence on the country. "

"But on the other hand, the threshold for military knowledge and ability is higher, and the degree of monopoly is also higher. Therefore, whether the emperor himself is good at fighting has a greater impact. Because the lower limit brought about by the official system is not so high. Obviously. Of course, having said that, most of the time, the Central Plains Dynasty can crush all opponents by virtue of their size advantage. So in this regard, most of the time, it is enough not to cause damage.”

"I support this point of view." Zhu Wenkui nodded with deep emotion: "The most fearful thing is the kind of self-righteousness, who wants to cut down the feudal clan every day when there is nothing to do..."

Guo Kang was speechless for a while, and everyone laughed awkwardly, and hurriedly let this topic go.

"Once we know the general theory, it will be easy to discuss later." Guo Kang continued: "Now that we know that the key problem is that the king cannot perform his duties, it is the regent's problem."

"Queen Isabella is currently in a state of uncertainty. I can clearly see it in Dadu. Some of her supporters hope to fight England to the end, but she herself can't hold on to her position. She is swinging between war and peace, obviously not That's a good thing," he reminded.

"Hey, my mother has always had this plan." Princess Jeanne said this, and sighed: "She believed in Armagnac's words at the beginning, and thought it would be no problem to win. But in the subsequent wars, we have been at a disadvantage. , she became more and more shaken. Maybe it was too obvious, and everyone knows it, so it's not surprising."

"The main reason is that this kind of mentality is too typical." Guo Kang commented: "She didn't really want to resist, but was put up by her subordinates. I guess, deep down in her heart, she still fears the British, but everyone gave her Saying she could win gave her courage. In the beginning, with the support of many local forces willing to serve as king, she could still challenge the English. But as long as there is a failure, it is easy to cause mental fluctuations."

"It is indeed possible." Princess Jeanna said, "She may not be so determined..."

"It's not possible, it's definitely not." Guo Kang shook his head: "This kind of 'courage' is very fragile. If you lose a lot, I suspect that she will be the first to collapse."

"When the situation is really critical, Lafayette—er, I mean, the old queen may choose to immediately join the English and agree to all their demands in exchange for the preservation of their own status. I think you'd better do this well Preparations. Because when the time comes, she is likely to cooperate with the English again to suppress their resistance."

"I didn't think it was possible at first, but when you say it like this, I feel that it is really possible..." Little Jeanne hesitated: "But I heard that many people want to concentrate their forces and fight the English, because now It has accumulated enough strength to completely suppress the English army. Grandma seems to be very supportive of this."

"It can be seen that the princess doesn't know enough about the Queen of France." Monk Daoyan interjected and began to educate her: "The pursuit of the country is also the pursuit of people. We need to know more about people so that we can prescribe the right medicine."

Although he didn't express his judgment directly, little Jeanna also understood the meaning of the words.She nodded, and Guo Kang continued to analyze.

"A decisive battle now may not be a good thing. The victory or defeat on the battlefield must take into account the factors in the temple. The temple is so chaotic, even if there is enough military power accumulated on the battlefield, it may be difficult to use it." Guo Kang told them: "There are soldiers on the battlefield. With superior military strength, there is no need to rush to attack in groups, because there is no ability to organize large-scale decisive battles. In this case, what should be done is to take advantage of the momentum and take advantage of the fact that the English are temporarily afraid to do it, and first rectify their own internal affairs. Yes. Don’t just go for it as soon as your brain gets hot.”

"Hey, but I feel that they won't be able to listen to these words." Guo Kang shook his head: "The more confident you are in your heart, the more you want to win quickly, otherwise they won't be able to survive by themselves. This is also the case in all parts of the world. It's a common problem, I believe we will see it soon..."
