Chapter 105 stuff
Bai Zhou and several secret guards entered the camp and accompanied by Wei Fu, he wandered around. Fortunately, Bai Zhou himself had no hope for most of the newly recruited soldiers, so there was no disappointment now.
"Thank you for your hard work," Bai Zhou said.
It is indeed hard work. Recruiting new recruits and training new recruits is an extremely tedious thing, although not difficult but extremely tedious thing. In the current Western Qin Dynasty, only Weifu can properly adjust these two things without having to worry about others. If it were Mengshan, he might have more experience in tempering new recruits, but when it comes to taking care of new recruits, food, clothing, accommodation, would definitely confuse him.
"Not even a question, how could the young master work hard these few days?" Wei Fu, who is over 40 years old and can be considered an old man in this era, has always been less respectful and more blamed for Bai Zhou.
Bai Zhou could also hear that it was Wei Fu complaining about himself. These days, he had "privately" left Basel regardless of his safety.
"This guy Mengshan is still not serious, how can you agree to leave!" Wei Fu's tone now is like a child, oh, to be more precise, the tone he would use when he blames a child.
Bai Zhou smiled awkwardly, and he was not easy to answer, so he had to answer honestly: "I am too willful. Besides, that Joan of Arc is indeed very important to us."
After hearing this, Wei Fu sighed slightly before continuing: "Young Master, you have grown up. Some things are indeed OK and must be decided by you personally. However, in my opinion, you have not grown up. You don't know the responsibility on your shoulders now."
Seeing that Bai Zhou's expression changed unconsciously, Wei Fu understood that this was a sign of Bai Zhou's dissatisfaction and said, "I know, you will say that you did this because you knew the burden on yourself and chose such a risky approach. But you still don't understand that for the entire Western Qin clan, your safety is the most important thing. As long as you don't fall, our Western Qin clan will not fall."
Bai Zhou was silent. It was not the first time that Weifu said this, but this time, he did give himself a different feeling than before. After all, the danger of rescuing Joan of Arc this time was indeed very great.
He was determined to save Joan of Arc at that time, and didn't think too much about anything else, but now looking back, although he could be said to be very successful along the way, everything was basically in his own plan, but he was not afraid of ten thousand in everything, but only if there was a mistake at the beginning, even Bai Zhou himself would not dare to imagine the consequences.
"Forget it, now is not the time to talk about this. As long as the young master remembers what he does in the future, what he does is not just about his own safety." Wei Fu waved his hand, meaning that he will record this matter for the time being, and now is not the time to discuss it.
"What sir taught me is that." Bai Zhou bowed and bowed. He always held the etiquette of his disciples to Wei Fu.
"Joan of Arc's affairs, as far as matters are concerned, the young master did it right. Although I didn't believe that a woman would do such a great thing at first, after I asked the Germans who came with me, I found that rescuing her would cause great trouble to the Burgundians, but there was no actual trouble." Weifu twisted his beard and said in a leisurely manner.
However, Weifu's words also let Bai Zhou know why Wolfgang knew so quickly that Joan of Arc was rescued by Xi Qin. It turned out that Weifu told others that he had told this.
Rescuing Joan of Arc, although it is important, it is not an important secret. Everyone will know such a big deal in the Burgundian barracks sooner or later, so now that Wolfgang knows it, there is no big problem in itself. At first, Bai Zhou was worried about whether the Holy Roman Empire had any suspicion within the Western Qin Dynasty that he didn't know, so he was a little worried. After all, it was not very pleasant to always present his secrets in front of others' desks at the first time. Now, since he knew the source of Wolfgang's intelligence, Bai Zhou felt relieved.
"But I don't know how the young master wants to use her?" Unexpectedly, Wei Fu changed his mind and started to ask Bai Zhou directly.
Originally, Bai Zhou heard Wei Fu's tone and thought he was confident and wanted to finish talking about how to maximize the value of Joan of Arc in one breath, but unexpectedly asked about himself instead.
"To be honest, when I rescued Joan of Arc, I knew that doing so would cause great trouble to the Burgundies, so I implemented it. As for how we use it," Bai Zhou smiled bitterly: "I originally wanted to send her back to France, relying on her local influence and hatred for the Burgundies to help us from the side, but now it seems that in only a few days left, the Burgundian army will be coming, and we ourselves have not much food and grass. It is estimated that it will be difficult for us to wait until she hits the Burgundies behind the scenes."
Bai Zhou is really helpless now. He planned this at the beginning, and Giles agreed, but now things have developed, and he found that what he thought was a little simple.
Sending troops is a big thing no matter where you are. There are many things to prepare. It is not just that the commander of one side can order troops and the troops are at the city. Therefore, even if Bai Zhou sends Joan of Arc back now, whether France can keep its promises is second. The key question is that Bai Zhou expressed great doubts about whether they can reinforce Xi Qin in time.
Speaking of which, this "transaction" was profitable and also lost. It was said that it made money because now it seemed that Western Qin did not spend any price, but caused great trouble to the Burgundians; it was said that it lost because it took such a big risk, but in fact it did not bring much help to Western Qin, and it even deepened Duke John's determination to conquer himself.
"We will definitely use this piece of Joan of Arc, but it seems that it is not now." Weifu said it very clearly and directly. In his mind, Joan of Arc was indeed just a piece that can be used.
"I understand." Although the method he thought of at first might not be useful, as long as Joan of Arc was allowed to appear on the battlefield against Burgundy, I believe that it would be helpful to the Western Qin people. After all, in Belfort's time, it can be seen that Joan of Arc, a woman, still had a high status in the minds of ordinary Burgundians, because no matter what, the Burgundians were indeed of the same clan and the French.
"Okay, I'll take the young master to see some things now. I'm sure, the young master will definitely be interested in these things." Wei Fu smiled mysteriously, as if he was confident that these things would definitely help Xi Qin.
"Okay." In fact, Bai Zhou came here specifically this time just to see what it was, because if he was just to see these five thousand soldiers, he would arrange for him to stop and there was no need for Bai Zhou to travel this time. He came this time just to know what it was and he needed to get Wei Fu to escort himself. Not only that, it was also so mysterious that he did not even mention it in the letter.
You know, Weifu has always been known for his cautiousness in his work. If this thing is not critical to a certain extent, it is hard to imagine that he would give up the Bern matter and come here in person.
After all, Bern is the new occupation of the Western Qin Dynasty, and the people's hearts are a big problem. In addition, the Western Qin Dynasty has absolutely not many defensive forces left there. Moreover, there are also a large number of Western Qin people there, and many miscellaneous things need a person with enough reputation to deal with.
