Chapter 141: Divide up
Chapter 141 Dividing
The news that Burgundy was defeated in Switzerland spread throughout Europe as fast as possible like a storm.
At the same time, the Western Qin Dynasty was spread throughout Europe, a foreign nation that was unknown only a year ago. [bsp; The Great Duke of Burgundy John, who had 100,000 armed forces in the country. When everyone thought they would win, he defeated Basel and finally escaped less than 20,000 soldiers. Even the Grand Duke of John himself died in battle at the foot of Mount Belford. All the nobles of all sizes were not yet ten, and John's designated heir, Philip, finally survived for some reason, which was also considered to have left an incense for the Duke of Burgundy.
All the forces on the Europa continent really turned their attention to Switzerland for the first time, a land they did not care much about in the past. And now they are paying attention to it because the current owner of this land is the Western Qin tribe that shines like a comet in the sky. Of course, there are many people who hope that this nation will flash like a real comet, just flash in the sky and fall into the horizon soon.
With Basel as the center, the three recent forces - England, France, and the Holy Roman Empire, were the first to learn about the weak Western Qin, and miraculously won. At this moment, these old forces would not be in line with their habits if they did not seek some benefits for their country. Therefore, at the first time, they all sent their respective envoys.
On the Western Qin side, Bai Zhou first buried the body of Grand Duke John and the Burgundian soldiers who would never return home outside Basel. First, it was considered respect for the dead, and second, it also prevented the plague.
I remember that night ten days ago, Bai Zhou didn't know that Grand Duke John was shocked by the sound of close-range explosions and had no thinking ability in a short period of time, so he chose John as the first target to kill. Unexpectedly, Philip was also lucky to be escaped by him in this army. If Philip could be killed together at that time, the situation in Burgundy might be much worse now, and this was what Bai Zhou and other forces hoped to see.
However, even if Philip escaped, he "successfully" took over the title of Grand Duke of Burgundy. Now, the strength of Western Qin and Burgundy is reversed, and anything is enough to make the new successor a headache for a long time. He is destined to be in short order for this position, not to mention that the Western Qin people who will revenge will not allow him to slowly sort out the internal affairs of the principality.
The French royal envoy was a visiting Basel. However, since the entire city of Basel was burned by fire, except for the city walls, there were broken walls and ruins, so he could not settle down, so he went directly into the military camp of the coalition forces.
Of course, they came this time with another purpose, which was to complete the previous transaction between the two parties. In the eyes of the royal family, this importance is no worse than that of "Burgundy".
As promised, the messenger brought a large amount of food and supplies, as well as 20,000 gold coins. The heavy gold coins were placed in two large boxes, and it took eight strong men to lift them.
Bai Zhouduo accepted the supplies that someone sent to his door with a smile. After arranging someone to pack these "gifts", he never talked about anything about Joan of Arc.
The envoy sent by the royal family this time was the same group of people as the last time. How could he not find out that something was wrong? He immediately stopped going around and made a request directly.
Bai Zhou was not vague and asked Joan of Arc, who had been hiding behind the door curtain, to appear in front of the messenger. What he received was the other party's expression changing drastically, and cold sweat was pouring down.
His face was completely torn apart. Joan of Arc recognized the envoy and knew that he was the most trusted confidant of the Dharma King. He was very close to her back then and respected her very much. Unexpectedly, there was also a two-faced guy who wanted to kill her now. He immediately took two steps forward and was about to ask something.
Although Joan of Arc did not wear any weapons, the messenger had no doubt that if Joan of Arc had a murderous intention towards him, the Duke of Switzerland would come to help without hesitation.
Fortunately, Joan of Arc did not have the intention to kill, or Joan of Arc was really a little discouraged and did not intend to make things difficult for this little person. The envoy was also a shrewd person. He knew that he could not stay here, so he could only leave in shame. He was originally going to say a few harsh words, but when he thought that the strong Burgundy people had suffered such a big loss in the hands of Xi Qin, he could not say that the royal family would deliberately make friends with Xi Qin in the future. If he offended others now, the royal family would definitely treat itself as an abandoned son in the end.
So what about a confidant? Joan of Arc can be abandoned, and the messenger does not feel that he is more important than Joan of Arc.
Almost on the same day, the English messengers and the Holy Roman Empire also arrived at the military camp outside Basel. However, it can be seen that the two countries were quite sincere in this meeting - they were all sent by heavyweight messengers.
The envoy sent by the Holy Roman Empire was Frederick's eldest son, Miller, and Bai Zhou had a little friendship. Of course, since he also knew that Wolfgang was here, Miller also brought his third brother over and participated in the meeting together.
England also sent a prince, and Bai Zhou did not take this prince to heart. After all, there are dozens of kingdoms, principalities, princes and other places like Europe, and not every prince is worthy of Bai Zhou's attention.
But when he found out that the visitor was the Duke of Normandy, Richard, the famous Lionheart King of Richard I, who was later famous. The second king of the Golden Flower Scarlet Dynasty, an English king who could not speak English, was famous for his bravery, resoluteness, boldness and strategy. He was one of the most famous European knight kings, and his life was full of continuous conflicts, from fighting with his father and brother to leading the crusades to the east, and then smashing his brother's usurpation, confronting France, quelling rebellion, and quelling from life to death, he was so legendary, just like an ambitious and fearless lion, constantly roaring and roaring and galloping across the world...
Bai Zhou did not expect that this time, he would face such a famous hero all over the world, but it doesn't matter. Richard is only in his twenties and his political and military achievements are definitely not as powerful as he later. Moreover, now the English people regard him as an envoy, which shows that the other party intends to unite, and he only needs to treat him as a powerful envoy, and he does not need to treat him with a hero's eye.
This time, the three old kingdoms came to Switzerland collectively. Except for the French royal family with other purposes, Bai Zhou knew what they planned, so he planned to arrange for them to discuss collectively on the same occasion. However, the French royal envoy might think that Joan of Arc's affairs was more important than the division of Burgundy, so he took the lead in proposing to resolve Joan of Arc, so it was naturally impossible to reach an agreement, and there would be no possibility of subsequent "cooperation".
Union and betrayal between countries are common. With Baizhou's idea, even if the French knew that they would definitely cheat them, everything was discussed in front of the big fat piece of Burgundy, but since the other party's messenger was too anxious, it would be fine. Anyway, with the strength of the Kingdom of England and the Holy Roman Empire, it would be almost no difficulty to defeat Burgundy, which is now powerless to fight back.
Moreover, if we want to compete for reasonable interests for the Western Qin between several major powers, Bai Zhou did not think that this was easy to do. If one France was missing, one "friend" who divided the cake was missing. It was not a bad thing for the Western Qin...
