Chapter 167: The Final Arrangement
Paris, the Γle de la CitΓ©, is full of Gothic style and the Sainte-Chapelle.
Built in the time of Louis IX, known as Saint-Louis, this church is famous for preserving the relics of Jesus' crucifixion, such as the crown of twins worn by Jesus during his crucifixion, and the fragments of the cross.
The current Sainte-Chapelle is not as magnificent as later generations, because the Sainte-Chapelle was extensively restored and renovated in the 19th and 20th centuries, but although it is not so magnificent, the current Sainte-Chapelle is more majestic!
"Nikolai. Shire. Oudinot, are you willing to follow His Excellency the Marquis of Saigon and fight valiantly for the restoration of the kingdom of Seris, will you be willing to show the perseverance of a believer of the Lord in the East, and will you be loyal to His Excellency the Marquis of Saigon? β
Queen Mary. Antoinette's voice was majestic and clear, she was wearing a purple and gold court gorgeous dress, and her hands pressed the Bible to stand on the upper right side of Ye Kai.
Ye Kai was wearing a bright red flying fish suit, standing straight with a black gauze hat, and in front of him, Oudino knelt down on one knee in a blue military uniform.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I am willing to follow His Excellency the Marquis and be loyal to him, and I am willing to fight valiantly for the glory of the Lord!"
Oudino replied in a trembling voice, trembling with excitement as he had never experienced such a solemn ceremony.
Oudino was the sixth to receive the ceremony, and the last person to swear allegiance alone, and the remaining dozens of officers were to perform the allegiance ceremony collectively, and if they were to come one by one, they would not have to exhaust Queen Mary.
Finally, in the choir's chanting, the ceremony finally ended, and the eyes of the officers who looked at Ye Kai changed, and they began to truly regard Ye Kai as the object of allegiance.
Blood and God are still the two things that Europeans value the most, and the entire European continent, except for those profiteers in the Netherlands, has always had a strong religious atmosphere, especially France, which is not inferior to the dutiful son of Banya.
Peter, who was sitting in the back row of the church and watching the ceremony, did not speak for a long time, Ye Kaijin not only obtained the allegiance of the officers of the first regiment he recruited, but also made the officers of the second regiment loyal to him, this mercenary army that nominally belonged to Vietnam, but in fact had been mastered by Ye Kai.
But Peter didn't plan to change anything, it was his idea to make Ye Kai the spokesperson of France in Vietnam, and Ye Kai's current approach did not go against his original intention, but was much better than he wanted to do.
As a Frenchman, Peter did not care about whether there would be civil strife in Vietnam in the future, whether Ye Kai would clash with Nguyen Phuc Anh, all he cared about was whether the spread of the bishop in Vietnam would be hindered and whether the interests of France would be harmed.
However, there is still a little uneasiness in his heart, because Peter suddenly found that compared to Ye Kai, Ruan Fuying is undoubtedly much simpler, and it is much more predictable, Ye Kai really can't see through it!
But looking at Ye Kai, who was praying with the officers with his eyes closed, Peter's heart calmed down a lot, and no matter what, it seemed that this Seris had finally thrown himself into the arms of the Lord.
If Ye Kai knew Peter's inner thoughts now, he would definitely be able to laugh out loud, how could this old white skin understand the Chinese concept of Rao's faith?
He didn't know that there would be another kind of atheist in the future!
Chinese worship their ancestors, but it is absolutely difficult to believe in any religion, for them to come, to worship the gods of a certain religion, is just a manifestation of begging for good reading.
For example, he just gave incense to Taishang Laojun, and the next second he can go to the church to do a service, Ye Kai is the standard mentality, believe in the Lord or something, what are you kidding?
The children of the Ye family near Paris were basically present today, and only a dozen or so Queen Mary, who really couldn't rush over, and Queen Mary, who had beads of sweat on her forehead, was helped by the maids to wash and change clothes, and Ye Kai took the opportunity to recruit the children of the Ye family together.
"I'm going to London soon, and then I'll go back to Pattani, you have to study here, Sister He will take care of your life, you can go to her if you have anything!" Ye Kai pointed to He Yu'er, who was holding his stomach, and said.
"He's not my sister, he's my nephew and daughter-in-law!" A fat man suddenly interjected.
This was selected by the four rooms of the Ye family, and according to the generation, it was indeed the same generation as Ye Fulai, and everyone laughed for a while, and the atmosphere was a lot more relaxed.
"Fat uncle, what's the matter, do you still want my nephew to ask you for peace?" Ye Kai unceremoniously went up and twisted the fat man's ears.
"No need! No more! The fat man bared his teeth and said forgiveness.
He Yu'er couldn't help laughing, she gently pulled the fat man behind her and knocked him on the head affectionately.
"Ye Shuwu, what you think is so good, you pat your ass and leave, leave such a big mess to me!
And you asked me to please the queen, I can't do it, the old lady has never pleased others, if I were a man, I could still help you, but unfortunately the old lady is a woman! β
Over, this crazy woman laughed louder and louder, and her cousin Ye Ming next to her also laughed playfully, looking like a standard rake ear!
Ye Kai was also a little crying and laughing, "Who are you going to go if you don't go?" Anyway, I'll entrust these people to you, I won't go to Anna, she will help you, and I have something to ask you for! β
With a wave of his hand, he blasted away the children of the Ye family who were watching the excitement next to him, and Ye Kai looked at He Yu'er's face became serious.
"I feel that something big is going to happen in this country of France, that is, in the past few years, can you think of a way, if there is any riot, help send Queen Mary's family out of Paris!"
"I really can't bear your concubine! Why should the old lady take the risk to protect your concubine? He Yu'er glanced at Ye Kai, and then she also frowned.
"You're right, I also feel this way, it turns out that I think this France is so powerful, then it must be the country under Taiping, Heqing Haiyan!
Unexpectedly, the farmers here are not much better than our farmers in northern Sichuan, and even a few points worse!
Most of the year's income has been taken away, although it is not to the extent of eating grass roots and bark, it is not too much, even the people in this city of Paris have to be hungry every once in a while, it is strange if nothing happens! β
"I know it's very embarrassing for you and it's dangerous, but who told us to owe people a favor, I, Ye Shuwu, will take revenge and repay if I have kindness, alas!" Ye Kai sighed again.
Compared to now, Queen Mary can be completely ignored, but she still came to stand for Ye Kai, without her, the effect of this ceremony will definitely be greatly reduced, thinking of the tragic experience in Queen Mary's history, Ye Kai always felt a little unbearable.
But then again, it's so easy to get Queen Mary out of Paris in the event of a revolution, and if you don't do it, you'll lose your head!
Besides, Queen Mary may not necessarily listen to He Yuer, and there is no reason for him to let He Yuer take such a big risk for him.
"Alright! Even if you still have a little conscience, you don't want me to try my best to protect your concubine, I can promise you that I will try my best, but if your brother and your nephew are in any danger, then I can't control it, I must protect myself first! He Yu'er looked at Ye Kai for a second or two, and then pointed to her stomach.
"Of course, just do your best, when I go to Britain, try to leave you some way back, if there is really one, you take Queen Mary directly to Britain across the channel, don't go to Austria by land!"
Ye Kai solemnly arched his hand to He Yu'er, in history, Queen Mary's escape was operated by her and Louis XVI because there was no one to help, and as a result, it was not like a fleeing at all along the way, and finally she was arrested when she was about to go to Austria.
If there is a cunning chivalrous woman like Yu'er in this era to help, she runs directly to Le Havre and goes to England across the Channel, maybe she can pick up a life!
The navy is undoubtedly more reliable than the army, which a few decades ago did not belong to the state but to the king, and their feelings for the royal family were a little better.
And the journey to England is shorter, unlike going to Austria to pass through most of France, I hope his arrangement can help Queen Mary avoid a catastrophe, if it really can't be done, then he will do his best!
