Chapter 143 I object!

After dealing with the matter between the two of them, Bai Zhou suddenly felt that he had become refreshed.

Originally, because of the great enemy, Bai Zhou did not care about solving their problems, which had been under the heart of Bai Zhou. Although it was not a heavy stone and made people feel chest tightness, it was always a difficult thing.

Bai Zhou could not always rely on his own tribes to fight on the battlefield alone. For example, this time against Burgundy, if there were no Frank or Wolfgang, he would only rely on the Western Qin to make a little horse. Even if Basel was burned in the end, he would not have enough troops to surround the Burgundian soldiers who escaped from the city. As a result, Burgundy was at most severely damaged, but Western Qin was not feeling well.

It is impossible for Bai Zhou to tie the Swiss Germans to his chariot forever. Similarly, Wolfgang will come so voluntarily to help. Who can Bai Zhou rely on?

Switzerland has a population of nearly one million (between 800,000 and 900,000), and within the actual rule of the Western Qin Dynasty, there are about 500,000. If this part of the population can be effectively utilized, it will definitely be a force that cannot be underestimated.

This group of armed forces cannot be controlled by the Western Qin people, at least, it cannot be controlled by the Western Qin people in a short period of time. At most, the Western Qin people can only recruit some farmers, small handicraftsmen, settlements, etc. It is obviously impossible to rely on these guys to exert a lot of combat power, or to rely on them as a piece of material for serving in the army.

Only by relying on Swiss locals, especially those with reputation and appeal, can we have the ability to train a group of troops that really scare Europa (just like the guards around the Pope, the most elite halberds, are all native Swiss). Obviously, Arnold von Winkreid and William Trell are the best candidates.

Now they agree to obey their orders, even if it is only temporary, even if it is nominally just a "cooperation" relationship, but since the most difficult step has been taken, things will be easy to solve in the future.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

When I came to a military tent, since Basel had become a ruin, only the central army tent was spacious enough. Although doing so seemed a bit neglecting the guests, it was obvious that the few messengers who came were relatively "real" guys, and I knew what they were doing this time.

As Bai Zhou rolled up the curtain and walked in, all the people who were qualified to discuss matters about Basel were concentrated in this tent.

Bai Zhou and Wei, represent the Western Qin, Miller, Wolfgang, the Holy Roman Empire, Richard, England, and Joan of Arc, who has a special identity.

The Swiss Germans represented by Frank and Fein were not qualified to sit here. First, they were nominally affiliated with the Duke of Switzerland. In the words of later generations, they had no diplomatic rights and could not talk equally with other principalities and kingdoms. Secondly, the most fundamental reason was that their strength was not strong enough. In this era, whoever had a big fist had a greater say. If the strength of these Swiss Germans reached a certain level, then let alone diplomatic rights, they would probably not be willing to surrender to the Western Qin people.

Speaking of which, the Holy Roman Empire and the Golden Flower Dynasty of England could actually bypass the Western Qin and discuss separately. It would be the most appropriate to see how to divide Burgundy, or to bring France, which is still powerful, and discuss with the three parties.

Perhaps it was because both sides wanted to see clearly who the Western Qin tribe could cause such a miracle, or perhaps it was because the title of Duke of Switzerland was quite useful, so they gave face to the Western Qin. Not only did they come to Switzerland to hold this negotiation, but they also vaguely focused on the Western Qin.

Of course, Bai Zhou knew his status and strength very well. In the face of those two giants, Xi Qin was just a toddler. However, Bai Zhou was never lenient in what he should fight for, especially in the current situation in Burgundy, which can be said to be almost caused by the Western Qin people. When Burgundy attacked Switzerland, the Englishmen watched the good show, but now they were profitable, but they came to seek alliance. If they weren't for their strong strength and deliberately lowering their posture this time, Bai Zhou would never have a good face for such a rogue behavior.

The situation of the Holy Roman Empire was a bit complicated. After all, it was still a vassal state of the empire. Although Switzerland had independent financial power, diplomatic power, etc., this subordinate relationship actually existed. Moreover, Wolfgang also brought five thousand soldiers to help. Although it was in his personal name in his face and had nothing to do with the empire, Bai Zhou understood that if it were not for Frederick's acquiescence, let alone five thousand people, even five hundred people, Wolfgang would not be able to bring Nuremberg.

Bai Zhou will never forget this love, although Frederick gave up his protection of Switzerland at that time and allowed Burgundy to attack the Western Qin.

As for Joan of Arc, she was even more difficult to say. First, her name spread throughout the Great Six. Just look at her eyes - with a little resentment in admiration - you can understand everything. Secondly, although Burgundy, although it has long been independent of France, cannot be denied that they belong to the same nation and the same culture. No one can underestimate the appeal of Joan of Arc among the Burgundian civilians. To put it bluntly, if the French royal family announced the appointment of Joan of Arc as the Duke of Burgundy, then as long as the original annoyance on the land of Burgundy would be cleared, there would be no obstacles.

Of course, it is generally impossible for the French royal family to announce this appointment, and the nobles on the ground of Burgundy are not easy to clear them. After all, Burgundy is not Switzerland. On a barren land like Switzerland, which has been conquered for years, the number of nobles of all sizes is still second to the point of being intricate. The relationship between them has not reached the point of being intricate. After the Principality of Burgundy, Baizhou's approach to local nobles was simply unsuitable after conquering Switzerland.

"My opinion is this: the Flanders, the Netherlands and other regions in the north of the Principal of Burgundy belong to England, while the Redeer and Limburg areas in the central region belong to the Holy Roman Empire..."

"Wait, Lord Duke, are your appetite a little too big?" Before Bai Zhou finished speaking, the Crown Prince of the Jinhua Que Dynasty had not spoken yet. A guy dressed in a servant next to him interrupted.

This Knight King, who was later famous in Europe, now looks like a young man who is not much more mature than Miller. He has a jealous handsome face, short golden yellow and light blue pupils. If it weren't for the only one Joan of Arc present, he was a woman, and this woman seemed to have a certain degree of immunity to handsome men, Bai Zhou had no doubt that the woman who saw him for the first time would scream for him.

Bai Zhou didn't know whether the servant spoke out loudly now, whether he was his own intention or Richard's instruction. However, since the other party was an envoy representing England and Richard himself did not stop him, Bai Zhou could only be regarded as the voice of the entire Golden Flower Raven Dynasty.

"In this way, it is equivalent to half of the original Principality of Burgundy, or the southern region with the most fertile land. Is it not appropriate to belong to you?"

The Principal of Burgundy has three territories that are not connected to each other. In the south, the place where Dijon, the palace of the Principal of Burgundy is located, the economy is the most prosperous; in the north, the Netherlands and the Flanders, including Bruges and Brussels, the economy is also high, and because of the coast, it is definitely a must-fight for the English; as for the central, Redeer and Limburg, they are just two small enclaves. Although they are close to the Holy Roman Empire, Richard, including Richard, they do not think that Frederick's appetite will be so small.

Bai Zhou smiled. This proposal was actually a very reasonable proposal for the English. He originally thought that Miller should have been the first to raise the objection, but he did not expect that it would be the English.

Bai Zhou looked at Miller and Wolfgang, and found that they were still sitting back and there was no intention of being anxious at all, so he had to respond by himself: "What do you mean? Could it be that all areas, including the south, are occupied by you English?"

"No, no, of course I don't mean that. The northern region of Burgundy is enough for us in England. I just want to remind you that Redeer and Limburg in central Burgundy cannot satisfy Frederick." This servant seemed to have never seen any big scenes, and was still a person who could not lie. Generally, in such negotiations, representatives of each force were all scrambling to get one more gold coin and would never give up. This person would just tell his bottom line directly. Isn't this to tell others clearly that you are very satisfied?

It is important to know that in negotiation occasions, your satisfaction is the reason why others are not satisfied.

At this time, Richard also realized that it seemed that the guy around him should no longer be so "unscrupulous". He deliberately coughed twice. The servant looked back at Richard and showed an expression that Bo Zhou could not describe. Anyway, the final result was that this guy was silent.

However, in fact, it is already very good that the England he represented can obtain northern regions such as Flanders in negotiations with the Holy Roman Empire (automatically ignore the Western Qin), because they cannot stretch their hands too long. The land near Dijon is good, but it is too far away from the land of England, so the Holy Roman Empire is unlikely to give it to itself.

Since the goal has been achieved, it will undoubtedly seem redundant and meaningless if the servant understood this and then closed his mouth with tactfulness.

Seeing this, Bai Zhou had already satisfied the hope of the English, the rest was to deal with the messengers of the Holy Roman Empire. Of course, this was also the most difficult - to convince them to only obtain the least profit.

"Don't you want to say anything?" Bai Zhou looked at Miller and Wolfgang curiously. Although Bai Zhou didn't know Miller very well, he still knew Wolfgang a little. This person is not a person who loves to suffer losses.

"I don't like taking advantage of others' danger. If my father really wants to occupy the land of Burgundy, then I will choose to fight to the death with them when the Burgundians were at their peak, rather than now." Wolfgang finished this passage and turned to look at his elder brother before continuing: "But I also know that there are some things between you that I cannot participate in, and I don't want to participate. So, don't ask me."

After saying this, even Bai Zhou couldn't help but smile.

Miller also understood what his brother meant, because the matter of the negotiations was originally something Wolfgang disliked the most. If he hadn't felt that his brother would have established a considerable friendship with the Western Qin people in this battle, he would definitely have forced him to come here. And what he said just now was telling himself that he wanted him to help, but there was no door.

"Haha, it's like this. What our Holy Roman Empire means is that in fact only Radell and Limburg are enough." Miller said this, but most people, including Richard and Wolfgang, felt a little confused. When would Frederick, who had always aimed at conquest, give up such a piece of fat meat he got?

After all, Miller dared to say such a voluntary abandonment of interests, if Frederick had not been instructed in advance, it would have been unimaginable in any case.

Then, Miller looked at Bai Zhou again: "So, we both have no objection to your proposal just now, so can we continue to talk about it?"

Miller stared at Bai Zhou, as if waiting for his answer.

"I know, as long as I say 'yes', then your troops who are preparing to conquer Italy will enter Switzerland early and destroy the tiger that is about to grow into Xiqin? How can others snore on the side of the bed? Frederick knows this truth better than others." Bai Zhou resisted the urge to say this, because it is not yet at the point of tearing apart.

Moreover, speaking of it, this was just Bai Zhou's guess. After all, Miller's words were not as good as Frederick could say, nor did he fit his character.

Bai Zhou hopes that this is just a judge of a gentleman by his own heart.

Frederick had a broad mind and didn't care how his nobles were bigger. Moreover, he himself revealed his grandeur on many occasions.

However, Bai Zhou knew very well that if he and Fiora were only in a cooperative relationship, and one day Fiora's troops were strong enough to threaten the safety of the Western Qin people, that day, that is, when Bai Zhou wanted to eradicate the Italians.

Don’t care about how powerful your subordinates are, this is just a cliché, and only idiots will fully believe it. Of course, it can also be understood as not caring about your development to a certain extent, but once this superior feels that you have threatened his rule and has reached a certain extent, you can imagine your fate.

This is the damn politics

"No, you haven't finished listening to my proposal yet." Bai Zhou tried to calm himself down. "My proposal, in the southern part of Burgundy, we do not occupy a piece of land in Xiqin, and will be left to Joan of Arc to manage it."

"What?"

"What"

Not to mention the English and the Holy Roman Empire, even Joan of Arc himself looked shocked.

This decision was made, on the one hand, because Bai Zhou did not want his territory and the population under his jurisdiction to suddenly grow, which led to Frederick's suspicion. After all, the increase in territory and the population under his jurisdiction cannot be converted into combat power immediately. This time of digestion is the weakest time for the Western Qin. The limited military force needs to be deployed to a larger area. As long as Frederick is not stupid, he knows that now is the best time to eliminate the Western Qin people. Once the Western Qin completes this conversion, then

, This little tiger cub has really grown into a tiger with good teeth; on the other hand, it is actually more important. With Xiqin's current expansion ability, this half of Switzerland is already at its limit. The foundation of Xiqin in Switzerland is still very unreliable, and blind expansion is not a good choice. If Baizhou has ruled in Switzerland for many years, the whole of Switzerland can operate smoothly, and proper expansion is also a way out, but it is not the time when Xiqin's foundation is not stable.

However, Burgundy, especially in the southern region, had excellent coal and iron ore resources and horse farms that Western Qin could not abandon. Therefore, when it came to the compromise, Baizhou could only carry Joan of Arc and rule Burgundy. Putting aside the opinions of the French royal family, it was easy to accept the Burgundian civilians. At least, it was definitely easier to accept than the ruler to Western Qin. As for the aristocratic side, since Baizhou decided not to expel blindly, there must be unity and compromise.

The essence of politics is compromise, and Bai Zhou already has a compromise target. When he rescued Joan of Arc, that family was a good partner in Bai Zhou's opinion.

After all, a family is not an individual, and an individual can be upholding justice, but when it comes to a family, when facing a new ruler, it is too few to break up the jade than to break up. At least, Bai Zhou felt that a family that can abandon the interests of the entire principality for the safety of his own tribe will not be broken up.

As for Joan of Arc, she was just a person. The Burgundian nobles would not like her too much, and would not cooperate with her rule in Burgundy. In the French royal family, Joan of Arc would not have any good feelings, nor would he seek any help there. In this way, the only thing she could rely on was Xi Qin, who saved her life.

"This..." Miller didn't expect that Bai Zhou had such a plan. He originally thought that Bai Zhou would definitely choose to occupy part of the Burgundian territory, but it was just a matter of size, but he did not expect that Bai Zhou would make this decision.

Of course, to be honest, Miller did not intend to annex the land of the Burgundians too much, because this plan was completely beyond the expectations of the Holy Roman Empire. They had never expected that the Western Qin would win and win so thoroughly when facing the powerful Burgundian Principality.

The Holy Roman Empire is different from England. England has no war yet and can draw troops to solve the northern part of Burgundy. However, the Holy Roman Empire cannot draw hands for the time being. Therefore, as long as the meaning of Radal and Limburg is not just to test Baizhou.

"Forget it, I have no objection." Miller thought for a while and decided to give up talking.

"I object." Just when Bai Zhou was about to talk to them about other things, he didn't expect that it was Joan of Arc. At this time, he said, I object...
