I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Guillaume was able to change his previous vigilance and now opened his mouth so wide, daring to take out anything, which was inseparable from the label on Xu Siling.

Thanks to Philip and the death of Philip VI, the relationship between the French nobles and the royal family was restored.

As Xu Siling is the number one villain in the French royal family, Guillaume, a remnant of the Knights Templar, can't help but empathize with him.

You're upset with the French royal family? What a coincidence. I'm also upset with the French royal family.

Xu Siling showed a weird smile on her face, and couldn't help but glance at John beside her.

John can't act, but the way he forces himself to control himself is really funny.

He took a deep breath and forced a smile, "Guillaume, this is still a little different. The relationship between the royal family and Sir Raya may not be as bad as it is said to be. It's not that good either. Not to mention that the Just King is the king of the Capetian dynasty, while the late King is the founder of the Valois dynasty. The two cannot be compared together."

Philip IV was known as the Just King.

"What's the difference? If there must be a difference, then let's say Philip VI was even more stupid than Philip IV. Philip IV ended the Templar Order for the benefit of the royal family, but Philip IV never lost a war, at least he didn't lose the rotten crotch of France, exposing his ass to the British from behind, fucking him like a goat."

John's face looked even worse.

Guillaume always thought that John was Xu Siling's knight and never thought of John as a king.

Mainly based on the rumors circulating outside, Xu Siling had broken up with the royal family and even detained Crown Prince Charles as a hostage, preventing him from returning to Paris.

How come Xu Siling and King John appeared in front of him at the same time?

To be honest, what Guillaume said was also what John had always believed in his heart.

John even often quarreled with his father Philip VI about this matter.

But it is one thing for him to do it himself, and it is another thing to hear others scold his father like this.

Seeing John's aggrieved expression, Xu Siling couldn't help but ask Guillaume jokingly.

"All that is in the past. Why don't we talk about King John now? What do you think of him?"

John perked up and couldn't help but wonder what Guillaume would say about him.

"King John?" said Guillaume, with a snort of laughter. "Oh, long live he!"

John's face turned completely dark.

Xu Siling slammed the table angrily and laughed.

Now Xu Siling really wanted to point at John beside her and tell Guillaume who he was.

Unfortunately, John didn't want to confess, at least not now.

After John stopped interrupting, Guillaume continued to complete the historical ending of the Knights Templar.

Philip IV promoted his own man to be Pope and moved the Vatican to France.

The Avignon Prisoner, which created a humiliating history for the Holy Church.

During this period, Philip IV continued to increase his control over the church.

But that's not all. The Knights Templar, whom he has coveted for a long time, have yet to serve him. He has extended olive branches many times, trying to recruit the Knights Templar.

Grand Commander Jacques played dumb.

Before, Jacques dared to refuse directly, but after the Holy See became a running dog of France, he could only play crazy and delay.

Seeing how stubborn they were, Philip IV ordered the arrest of more than ninety Knights Templar based on the principle of destroying what he could not get.

Grand Master Jacques was among them, and Philip IV arranged a series of tortures for them.

In October 1307, Jacques confessed under torture in prison. The charges were denying Jesus and trampling on the cross.

He was then forced to write to members of the Knights Templar, asking them to assemble somewhere.

These Templar Knights who were unaware of the situation saw the letter from their leader and headed to the designated location.

But what they didn't expect was that waiting for them were fully armed Frank soldiers.

The Templar Knights, who were kept in the dark, wanted to step forward and say hello, but all they were greeted with was the ruthless butcher's knife.

After arresting most of the Knights Templar, Philip IV ordered local officials to carry out a purge, arresting all members of the Knights Templar in France and restricting the use of any property to prevent it from being transferred out of the country.

That day, many of the Knights Templar died during the interrogation, and the rest were burned at the stake.

All the wealth plundered by the Knights Templar over the past 200 years was confiscated.

In fact, Philip IV did give the Knights Templar a chance.

He still wanted to recruit the Knights for his own use.

On the day when Jacques and other knights were arrested, at the instruction of Philip IV, he sent two cardinals to find Jacques, hoping that Jacques would submit and obey Philip IV.

The reasons for persuasion are even more sufficient.

The Pope is serving Philip IV, let alone you, the Grand Master of the Knights Templar?

Jacques decided to go all the way and would rather die than compromise.

This may be why Jacques is as famous as Hugo, the founder of the Knights Templar.

Guillaume's story glorifies the Knights Templar.

If Jacques really adhered to his honor as he said, then who was in prison, using the great memory restoration technique to write letters to deceive other members of the Knights Templar into falling into the trap dug by Philip IV?
Guillaume's opinions are subjective, but Xu Siling doesn't care. He has a brain and can figure it out for himself.

In history, Jacques' stubbornness led to the destruction of the entire Knights Templar.

Philip IV asked the Pope to disband the Knights Templar, and the Pope had to do so under pressure.

With the disbanding of the Knights Templar, Jacques faced the Final Judgement.

In 1314, Jacques, Grand Master of the Knights Templar, was hanged on the gallows and burned at the stake.

He had previously calmly rejected the cardinal's forgiveness and cursed Philip IV and the Pope, saying that they would face God's judgment within a year.

The facts are indeed consistent with this.

The Pope died suddenly a month after Jacques's death, and Philip IV died six months later.

At this point, Guillaume's eyes lit up even more.

After Jacques was burned to ashes, his followers kept his ashes as holy objects.

The Knights Templar were completely destroyed.

Founded in 1119 and dissolved in 1312.

For nearly 200 years, they were considered the true masters of the East during the Crusades.

The Kingdom of Jerusalem was the main force against the Arabs.

But not all members of the Knights Templar were liquidated.

Many members hid their identities and returned to ordinary lives, with the glory of the Knights Templar forever buried in their hearts.

And Guillaume, Lance, and a few others from the village of Milo.

They are the descendants of the remnants of the Knights Templar.

Hear everything about Guillaume's confession of his identity.

Only then did Xu Siling understand.

During the Jacqueré uprising ten years later, why was Guillaume able to control tens of thousands of peasants and not lose control?

These are all the foundations left by the Knights Templar.

The last generation of Knights Templar members certainly cannot be compared with the first generation of elders.

But even the members of the last generation, their strength and background far exceed those of ordinary knights.

It is not surprising that these individuals can reasonably control tens of thousands of farmers.

But even so, it cannot be denied that Guillaume possessed extremely high military talent ten years later.

It's a pity that he is just too stupid. He has good means but a naive mind.

Carlos II coaxed him into going into the city for negotiations, and he actually believed it. He went into the city obediently and was hit on the head.

Of course, it’s not Guillaume’s fault for being stupid, exactly.

But the purpose of Guillaume leading the peasant uprising was ultimately for the peasants' rights and lives, not to become king.

It was Guillaume who demonstrated his military talent ten years later. We have to test him personally to see how he is now.

Xu Siling began to ask Guillaume about how he arranged the villagers to be on duty in Mailuo Village, how he trained the villagers, and the organization of the team.

Guillaume realized that Xu Siling was testing him, and he immediately perked up and answered seriously.

Because of the population of Mailuo Village, he divided six people into a team, appointed a team leader, and then took turns on duty.

Production work is also carried out in regular rotation and is not neglected.

The training course is a slight modification of the foundation left by the Knights Templar.

Xu Siling listened to Guillaume's arrangements and nodded in approval.

Ten years later in Guillaume, the organization for resettling farmers was to form teams of ten people.

This was exactly the same as the ten-man squad of his executioner soldiers.

Of course, Guillaume certainly did not give such great power to the captain of the village team, otherwise it would have been a mess.

But this does not prevent the two men's ideas on military organization from being largely similar.

The training course of the Knights Templar also includes indoctrination of beliefs.

This is similar to Xu Siling's instillation of the belief of victory.

Of course, Guillaume, who is the same age as him now, has not had ten years of experience, and many of his ideas are still immature and too self-evident.

This did not prevent Xu Siling from recognizing Guillaume.

John, who was standing by, perked up and was equally excited and interested when he heard Guillaume's military ideas.

This has to do with John's belief in chivalry.

In fact, the Knights Templar were heading for extinction, and that was a very painful time for John.

John was a knight who admired the past of the Crusades.

Despite the subsequent Crusades, the taste had changed.

But it did not prevent John from worshipping the Knights at that time.

This is why John was not angry even though Guillaume had been humiliating the two former French kings because of the destruction of the Knights Templar.

Because he was also angry about the destruction of the Knights Templar.

Putting aside the fact that Guillaume humiliated the late king and wished him a long life, John still liked this Guillaume in front of him very much.

Especially when I heard Guillaume's military ideas later.

When it comes to military theory, Xu Siling is the one with the least foundation among the three.

John put aside his previous unhappiness and started a heated discussion with Guillaume.

Guillaume was also surprised that the knight under Xu Siling was actually a military genius like him.

Soon, the two of them showed an attitude of mutual sympathy.

Xu Siling narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling that something seemed to be wrong.

Is John trying to rob someone?
Xu Siling looked at the two people in front of her, and a sentence popped into her mind.

When you go to war as a kid, you have this fantasy that other people are going to die and you're not, and then the first time you get seriously wounded, that fantasy is instantly shattered and you start to really grow up.

John and Guillaume are, in a way, the same.

They all talk big like children and are extremely confident.

Both lack the painful cost of a defeat.

Although Xu Siling didn't think she was worthy of educating these two people in this way.

After all, he also didn't think he would lose.

This is the same for all three.

Historically, both John and Guillaume possessed great military talent.

Both have lost only once, and only once.

John was defeated and captured at the Battle of Poitiers and eventually died in London, England, having spent half of his time as king in England.

Guillaume, on the other hand, trusted the nobles too easily, thinking that they would no longer oppress the peasants, so he chose to accept the negotiations. Ultimately, he lost his life because of his credulity.

"It's better not to lose."

After all, for these two people, the price of losing is really too painful.

Xu Siling suddenly muttered to herself, interrupting their heated discussion.

"Mr. Knight Raya, do my thoughts make you uncomfortable?"

Xu Siling waved her hand to dispel Guillaume's worries: "No, you said it very well."

Guillaume realized that he had been chatting for too long and had not had time to arrange many things, so he immediately left.

After he left, John couldn't help but push Xu Siling and complain.

"Hey, Guillaume and I were having a great time, why are you interrupting us?"

"I'm really sorry. But I think that since you've lived a long life, you have plenty of time to talk to him about these things. It doesn't matter if you spend this moment here."

"I see Xu, you are not jealous."

"Huh? Jealous?"

"Are you jealous? You found out that the person you like prefers me! You feel uncomfortable."

"Fuck, you're a talented person!" Xu Siling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'm Guillaume, and I absolutely don't like bastards like you. With your poor acting skills, it's all thanks to his stupidity that he didn't see through you. Think about it, when he finds out you're John, will he dig a hole right here in the farmland of Milo Village and bury himself?"

John hesitated and finally said nothing.

Xu Siling raised her eyebrows: "Are you really interested in Guillaume?"

"He's quite good, I'm sure you can tell that, otherwise you wouldn't have come to Milo Village to see him on purpose."

"Nonsense, of course I know he's good. But I repeat, I went north to see him on the way, understand?"

"Then why did you go north? Could it be that you really wanted to explore the Calais Fortress front?"

When I first headed north, of course, I wanted to chop off the heads of the English mercenaries and explore the Calais fortress front to lay the groundwork for the future.

This is the true answer in Xu Siling's heart.

It's a pity that the scumbag's heart has changed.

Because Xu Siling knew that his battlefield might not be in Calais Fortress, but in England.

"I want to go to England."

Xu Siling took advantage of the misunderstanding between John and Bonnet and directly admitted it. She no longer tried to hide it or make excuses with any plans, but honestly confessed her thoughts.

John was silent for a moment: "May I know why?"

"John, you have to understand."

Xu Siling said seriously: "The reason why I did this and declared war on England so firmly is not because England is a thorn in my side, nor is it because I miss the powerful France in the past." (End of this chapter)
