As Chen Jiujing said in the letter, the situation he faced was very complicated.

It was so complicated that when she woke up, the French princess who should have been lying in bed honestly was gone.

Of course, this is not the most complicated.

The most complicated thing is that the woman who slept in his bed these days is not only the princess of France, but also the sister of the three kings of France, the sister-in-law of Fei Lao Er, and the queen of Navarre.

It all started with Chen Jiujing's sacking of Bordeaux a few months ago.

When the sergeants of the Baishan Battalion and the Xiyong Battalion boarded the ship and returned to Bilbao, Spain, Shi Xiaolou's merchant fleet had just set sail south from the French coast and crashed into the French navy on the banks of the Gironde River that could not catch up with Chen Jiujing.

At that time, the merchant did not even dare to go to the northwestern part of France, and he wanted to escape from the pursuers and bypass the Protestant enemies in western France from the open sea.

But the French merchant who signed the contract for the next year's shipment took them to the Catholic territory of France, where he befriended a Henry.

This Henry was neither King Hum nor Henry of Bourbon, King of Navarre, a Protestant leader.

Rather, the Duke of Guise, a Catholic leader, Henry of Lorraine.

Shi Xiaolou connected the two, but he didn't expect that Duke Guise would use this bridge to write a letter to Fei Lao Er of Spain, asking Spain to send another letter to Narva's court.

Later, Chen Jiujing met Margaret, a married woman who was three years older than him.

But in Chen Jiujing's understanding, this was not his original intention, what he needed was the support of Duke Guise or Hum Laosan, who could let him lease a port that could garrison troops.

It turned out that Margaret really did it, not that Margaret had too much influence, she did have a lot of influence in terms of her well-known appearance and reputation for a bloody wedding, but her political influence was extremely weak.

The key to her being able to do this is that France is too chaotic right now.

came and went, they went from a serious letter to a secret conversation in disguise, and finally got together without shame.

Regarding the chaotic relationship between the royal families of European countries, Chen Jiujing is like a blank sheet of paper, and Margaret has taught him a good lesson.

The bored General Chen stretched his waist and shouted to the corridor with his own soldiers, and when the soldiers knocked on the wooden door, he was already dressed, turned around and asked someone to help him buckle his armor, when he heard the familiar voice of Carlos, the leader of the Xiyong battalion, sounding behind him.

"General, the queen left half an hour ago, we signed a five-year contract, and in order to ensure that my men will always receive a high salary, I must warn you - the most tempting and the most dangerous."

"I don't know if you know something about the Queen's past." Clad in armor, with his hands crossed over his chest, the Milanese armor with intricate gold and silver patterns on his body was much better than many knights with fiefdoms, and he said, "She wants to take advantage of you." ”

Chen Jiujing's relationship with the other five leaders of the Xiyong Battalion was that of a normal employer and mercenary, while his relationship with Carlos was more like that of a lord and a retainer.

He guessed that it was probably because Carlos had heard from Li Dan about Farikat following Li Dan and Chen Mu before he knew him, so that he could get a fief in Luzon.

"I didn't know why you were obsessed with the land, but now I do." Chen Jiujing said, his cuirass already fastened, and he led Carlos and a few guards out of the manor that he had purchased at a high price near the town not far from the camp, and chuckled as he was about to mount his horse.

"Fuck, I've been calculated by Fei Lao Er once, are you afraid that more people will take advantage of me?"

When he talked about being used, he got angry.

Chen Jiujing had always thought that he was using Spain to attack Bordeaux.

He used the Spaniards, the captured nobles were also handed over to the Spaniards, and the spoils were sold to the autonomous provinces of Spain, and he sold part of the harvest to pay the commission for the following year, and the armor, horses, and weapons also allowed the sergeants of the seven battalions, including the White Mountain Battalion, to complete the redress.

But what about the Spanish and French aristocracy?

Chen Jiujing only learned after getting to know Marguerite that he was known as 'one million and eight hundred thousand soles', and the sol was the currency of France, one hundred and eighty thousand was about 400,000 taels of silver.

Before Li Dan arrived in Seville, Fei Lao II had intervened in the French Wars of Religion and promised to give financial support to the Duke of Guise, who was also in the Catholic camp.

In return, they concluded a pact against a common enemy.

The contract roughly meant that Fei Lao Er would contribute the money and the Duke of Guise would contribute the effort, and the ultimate goal was to eliminate the Protestants in southwestern France, England, and the Netherlands.

Chen Mu asked Li Dan to send half a tael of coins to Spain, and 400,000 pieces were originally to be shipped to France to supply him to deal with the growing Protestant forces.

But after Chen Jiujing came, Fei Lao Er found that Da Ming was his lucky star, and they wanted to do France!

This was simply dozing and sending pillows, not only sending silver coins, but also prospering trade, and finally there were people who recruited their own troops to fight the French Protestants!

Is there anything more enjoyable in this world?

Yes!

It was after writing to the Duke of Guise that Henry of Lorraine promised Spain a direct attack on the Protestant rear territories in lieu of a half-tael of silver worth 1,800,000 soles.

Then Chen Jiujing, who came from the Ming Dynasty, completely followed Fei Laoer's ideas, and began to recruit troops with the mentality that he had mastered the new methods of war and earned his home, and waved his troops to Bordeaux.

"Next, His Royal Highness should want me to help him attack the kingdom of Bourbon Henry's Navarre, I don't know if it's true yet, but the queen's idea is very interesting."

These things are all analyzed by Margaret for Chen Jiujing, some percent of them are true, and several percent are intentionally guided, Chen Jiujing wants to distinguish but he has too little information and interpersonal relationships, and no piece of information can distinguish the truth from the false.

I can only listen.

Margaret's idea is very unique, she doesn't want Chen Jiujing to lead troops to attack the kingdom of Navarre, which is separated by a mountain, but hopes that Chen Jiujing can defeat her king husband who doesn't like to bathe for her on the battlefield, not to kill, but to defeat.

Although this sounds interesting, at the moment Chen Jiujing is not interested in defeating Henry, who does not take a bath.

He cares more about sending someone to Madrid to talk to Fei Lao Er about money, a considerable remuneration? Some sturdy horses and armies, or the lease of the ports and garrisons of northwestern France.

Chen Jiujing felt that Fei Lao Er had to solve one or more of them for him, otherwise Chen Jiujing would ask someone else to go to Duke Guise to talk about getting Spain to pay for military support.

Fei Er, what about you walking silly boy?
