Chapter 64 The Four Kings Meeting
Chapter 60 The "Four" Kings Meeting
But just when the three of them thought that the meeting ended here, they did not expect that Bai Zhou would speak again, but that the British and French coalition forces must participate in this battle, in other words, we must act with them. (Look at the 'Piaotian Silk Network')"
"That's what?" The nobles present expressed their confusion.
Bai Zhou sighed. He knew in his heart that the aristocrats in front of him, and of course, the nobles in the British and French coalition forces, all had the same dirty thoughts in their hearts. They all wanted to spend the least price, plunder the most wealth, and earn the most reputation.
But how could this be so easy? Saladin is not an idiot
Now Vincent, Yarman and Leopold have made a lot of wealth through Cyprus, so their desire to take risks has undoubtedly faded a lot. It can be seen from the practice of the Byzantine soldiers who had just been unable to buy a total of 10,000 people; and the little nobles just had just taken a sip of the soup, not to mention eating enough, they were not even able to quench their thirst, and even aroused the greed in their hearts.
There must be a conflict between the two factions, and more importantly, although the number of soldiers in Vincent and the three of them now is far higher than that in these little nobles, and no one seems to be able to shake their status, in fact, once they return to the Holy Roman Empire, the strength in their hands is not as many as here, and their status is far less transcendent than now. The reason why those little nobles depend on them is because the soldiers and horses in Vincent and the three of them are now closely connected in the Holy Roman Empire. In fact, there is no dependence between Vincent and most of these nobles.
This also makes the "unknown" Margus now have the courage to put forward opinions.
But what Bai Zhou had to do was not that simple. After all, what he had to do was not as simple as grabbing more wealth. It was destined to be Bai Zhou's starting point. It was not exactly the same as these nobles, but rather the same as Wolfgang and Joan of Arc, who were determined to recover the Holy City.
Sometimes Bai Zhou also sighed that it would be great if Wolfgang could be more complicated, and he would not have to help him with advice like his military advisor. (Looking at the "Piaotian Literature Network") Even now, Wolfgang is not aware that everything Bai Zhou does is just to build momentum for him. Although to be honest, Bai Zhou also wants to benefit from it, but undoubtedly Wolfgang is the biggest beneficiary.
However, if Wolfgang was so complicated and terrifying, would Bai Zhou still help him like he is now?
By the way, the news of Frederick's accidental death has been passed back to the country, which means that the second prince must have started to prepare and may have started to take action. Bai Zhou also sent a special person to send a letter to Weifu, informing them of the whole story of the matter. With his and Mengshan's ability, how to protect the strength of Xi Qin to the maximum extent.
More importantly, let them choose their position in this dark coup - in this level of struggle, neutrals never get a good ending, unless your strength is completely above others, or so weak that no one looks down on it.
Since the position has been decided, Bai Zhou will naturally not blindly betrayed the little profits - everything must be considered for Xi Qin and Wolfgang.
Only by making some achievements in this war can Wolfgang's reputation rise greatly within his own territory. This is exactly what Bai Zhou is going to do now.
"We don't have to wait for the arrival of the main corps of the British and French coalition forces, but we must let some of their main commanders act with us and let them not suffer unnecessary failures for some unnecessary reasons in the war in the coming."
Bai Zhou, these crusaders who came from afar, would suffer a lot of losses in the face of a group of completely unfamiliar enemies and completely unfamiliar terrain, and even cause unnecessary losses due to underestimating the enemy. What Bai Zhou needs now is to allow the commanders of the British and French coalition forces to understand the enemy more clearly and clearly.
Because Bai Zhou knew that relying solely on one crusader would not defeat Saladin, who fought at home, must rely on the power of the Allies. Since they had to rely on the power of the Allies, they could not suffer too much unnecessary losses. Although the existence of the Principality of Jerusalem, the Crusaders could be told some more detailed information, but these crusaders looked down on the Principality of Jerusalem from their hearts, and even more so on the Leprosy King who had a great reputation in history. (Look at "Piaotian Literature Network") There is no way, but Saladin is so terrifying that they don't know how leprosy King is.
So, let alone how much they value the opinions given by the Principality of Jerusalem. Only when they see them with their own eyes can they understand all this.
"But, will Bai Zhou and the King of England and France agree?" Yarman asked, and he also realized that at this time, since the other person had made a decision, it was really irrational to say that the objection was against it.
And he also had a thought in his heart. He thought that Bai Zhou was a guy who didn't want to go without a cheap price. Since even he was seeking such a fight now, it means that there must be a lot of money.
However, if his true thoughts from the guy Bai Zhou were, he probably couldn't even cry.
"That's Wolfgang's problem, it's not our responsibility." Bai Zhou smiled, and after that, he asked everyone to prepare their own military uniforms and wait for Wolfgang's orders.
After all, the total number of Crusaders now has 50,000 people, and it is impossible to take them all. As for whoever goes there and who doesn't go there, it must be ordered by Wolfgang. At least, it must be ordered by Wolfgang in name.
Moreover, although Cyprus is now a territory of the Principality of Jerusalem, the Crusaders have reached an agreement with Duboan. During the crusades, they were allowed to use Cyprus as a rear base, so the Crusaders must also have to guard some people here, not only to protect the food and grass (although Duboan is responsible for the supply of the Crusaders according to the agreement, but that means he is responsible for purchasing. As for transportation and ensuring the safety of the food and grass, even if Duboan is willing to help the Crusaders, this is of great importance and the Crusaders will not be safe to hand it over to others), and to take good care of the wounded (of course, if ordinary soldiers are injured, they basically have no chance to withdraw Cyprus’ cultivation), and more importantly, to protect those valuables - so much wealth, it is impossible for Wolfgang to take them to the battlefield, and Wolfgang also found a place and buried it at the suggestion of Bai Zhou.
After Bai Zhou finished all this, he signaled that everyone could finish the morning tea here before leaving. However, obviously, the nobles present did not feel like this and left directly, which ended the meeting that was not considered a conference. (Looking at the "Piaotian Literature Network") When Bai Zhou saw that Joan of Arc was leaving, he originally wanted to stop her because she was also an important member of the Crusader. She was qualified to attend the roundtable meeting with the two kings of Britain and France later, but it was obvious that Joan of Arc did not have this interest.
Bai Zhou also suddenly realized that Joan of Arc was afraid that he would not want to see the Dharma King again, so he did not force it, so he went straight to the conference hall, greeted the maid and served some breakfast.
He was so hungry that Fiora's cooking skills were not good, but he had different eating habits. Although he could be called a "hard couple", Bai Zhou would not refuse this sincere kindness by nature, so it would have hurt Bai Zhou's stomach.
However, you can order food here. Although eating barbecue for breakfast is not good for health, Bai Zhou felt relieved when he thought of the many milk and ham he had eaten before.

As Wolfgang entered the conference hall, there were two luxurious guys, who were not old. One of them, Bai Zhou knew Richard, the King of England who had met with him. Although his reputation was not very high now, in fact, because in the battle with France, he had more defeats and fewer defeats, his prestige was pitiful, so no one called him the Lionheart King, but even now, just looking at it, he did meet this name.
And the other one, who is qualified to walk with Wolfgang and Richard, doesn't need to ask who he is.
Richard VII, the King of France who betrayed Joan of Arc but also recovered part of his territory.
It is hard to imagine that half a year ago, these two were the masters who wanted each other to go to hell. One was more than the other, and they wanted each other to return to God's arms immediately. Now, the two were chatting and laughing, and they were completely a pair of friends who had not seen each other for many years, although they were indeed related to blood.
But then again, there are not only one or two people in the entire Europa aristocratic circle, but their father is their real father.
Richard VII's narrow eyes make people feel uncomfortable. His pale face and thin body make it difficult to associate the word "momentum" with him, especially standing next to Richard. (Let's read the text novel "Piaotian Literature Network")
However, Bai Zhou was not in the mood to look at the two of them now because he was in a very "embarrassing" situation - one hand was holding a fat chicken leg, the tablecloth was covered with bones, and his mouth was even unable to speak because it was stuffed with food.
One is the son of Frederick, the other is the famous Lionheart King who was later famous, and the other is Charles VII, whose reputation was also passed down from generation to generation because of Joan of Arc.
These three represent the three most powerful kingdoms in the entire Europa, and the military operations they are going to work together now are also a "glorious cause" that will be recorded in history.
In this situation, there is a stupid guy who is careless and chewing chicken legs.
If there were cameras in this era, then the original value and significance of these three people chatting and laughing in the conference room was definitely no less than the return to the Elbe River during World War II, but a guy who chewed chicken legs destroyed the entire picture.
Where is Wolfgang in Baizhou so efficient in doing business? He picked up people so quickly, and no one outside reported it in advance.
Fortunately, the nobles of the Holy Roman Empire did not stay, otherwise this ugly would have become a big deal. After all, this place is a meeting place, not a restaurant.
Bai Zhou was not panicked. He swallowed the food in his mouth openly. After tidying up his hands and face with a napkin, he stood up politely and greeted him, which was a greeting to the three of them.
Wolfgang's face twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything.
The Dharma King frowned involuntarily, and he was not satisfied now without asking.
And Richard, his actions made Bai Zhou secretly admire him.
He laughed and sat directly next to Baizhou's seat. The sea was bumpy for so long and he didn't eat in the morning. I was so hungry. You are still thinking about it." As he said that, he signaled to Baizhou, and then scooped a steak on Baizhou's dining cloth that he didn't have time to eat.
And hello to the Dharma King Charlie, you didn’t eat either, so why don’t you come together.”
The maid who was originally serving Bai Zhou was quite eye-catching. She immediately put on a few sets of tableware and ran to the kitchen to prepare for some more food.
"Hey, Duke of Switzerland, last time you went to your place, you didn't have the fullest friendship as a landlord. I didn't even drink a sip of hot water. Although this is the territory of the Duke of Swabia, you have already finished it half of it."
The Duke of Swabia is the title of Wolfgang.
Charles VII, who had not had his brows loose, just sat down and heard Richard break the identity of the person who was unruly in front of him, his brows frowned even tighter, but immediately became loose. Even though he did not happen, he even followed Richard's example and grabbed a lamb leg with his hands.
"Just call me Bai Zhou." Bai Zhou tried his best to keep a smile at the two kings.
Bai Zhou originally wanted to eat something, but he didn't want that much, but the maids and chefs didn't dare to offend Bai Zhou, for fear of not taking good care of him and being punished, so he was filled with a lot of barbecue and the like. Fortunately, Richard wouldn't have "props" even if he wanted to help save the situation.
"Call me Richard." Richard said with a smile.
"I have heard of the name of the Duke of Switzerland for a long time. If I don't mind, I can call me Charlie directly. Can I call you by your name directly?" The Dharma King also began to show kindness to Bai Zhou.
Wolfgang was also a little surprised. He did not expect these two people to have such an attitude towards Bai Zhou.
Indeed, Bai Zhou did not expect this situation.
"Of course, Charlie." Bai Zhou replied.
Bai Zhou and King Richard had a little friendship, but when they were dividing interests, they could not be said to be in a relationship.
But if Richard wanted to get a friendship, he helped Bai Zhou as much as he could, this reason could barely be said. However, the gap between Western Qin and France, that is, between Bai Zhou and the Dharma King, because of Joan of Arc and Burgundy, was deep, so Bai Zhou was a little confused, so he would be like this as the Dharma King.
However, there is no need for Bai Zhou to turn against the person who is smiling. Besides, he almost has a "hate of taking over his wife" with Wolfgang. Isn't his relationship now very different?
Of course, even if Bai Zhou did not see the scene when King Charles VII of Dharma "changed his face" just now, he understood that everything is the best and he would not be cautious because others showed good deeds first. No matter what, this King of Dharma is not a good person in history.
As several generals and nobles accompanied by the two kings of Britain and France also sat down, and the meal was brought up one by one, the round table that was supposed to be held actually played a guest appearance in a dining event.
The reason why it is called a dinner rather than a banquet is because the food is really monotonous.

ps:1. In fact, the Dharma King during the Third Crusade was not Charles. Here I will explain it (mainly because the identity of this character is too important, so I will explain specifically that this book is not a history book after all)
2. The names of Richard and Charles are easily confused by inattentive book friends, so I will correct them here. From this chapter, the English translation of the name Richard I and the Dharma King Charles VII will be easy to distinguish.
3. The Holy Roman Empire is nominally an empire, and its head is also called an emperor. But in fact, the Holy Roman Empire can only be regarded as a king, and its head is just a king. Therefore, in Benpiao Astronomy·()|, it provides you with online reading and novel downloads of various novels such as the Middle Ages of the Western Qin Empire, romance novels, fantasy novels, martial arts novels, science fiction novels, etc.
