Chapter 1069: Charles I, Whitewashed!

Liu Feng and Charles I met quietly, naturally they didn't come to chat, drink tea and chat. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

He was in accordance with Zhu Zilong's request, and he had been here for a few years, and he had caught Charlie's line.

During these years, Charles I lived in seclusion near the Holy City. Blessed by the Pope!

Of course, in this year, the Catholic Church needs to clearly mark the price of any service that it wants to get. For this reason, he also spent almost all the money he had when he was king, and all the family property came.

Originally, Charles I also thought of a plan to restore the country.

However, before he could put it into action, the second wave of natural disasters of the Black Death came.

Doctors all over Europe feel guilty that they don't know where the disease comes from, why it is contagious, where it is, and when it will end. I can only sit and watch the sick people die one by one, including myself.

A quarter of the members of the Holy See died of the plague, and even the Pope abandoned his palace and hid in a castle in the countryside. And the dead soldiers and soldiers prepared by Charles I, naturally, are the same. The one who died is called a miserable!

In the face of this terrible plague, people fell into deep fear.

For the first time, all white Europeans, including the ruling class, were apolitical. The war is also tm, and it can't be fought at all!

(What about the decades-long war between the Netherlands and Great Britain and France?) Jingran let Zhu Zilong lose it single-handedly! )

Charles I was afraid that he would die of the plague, but he didn't know what to do. At this time, Liu Feng, who had a little friendship with him, came to find him.

Liu Feng told him that if you want to return to the country, you can, don't worry if you are afraid of getting sick, we will borrow if you don't have an army, and we will give out if you don't have money, ok?

After Charles I heard this, he couldn't even dream that there was such a good thing in the world?

Such indescribable and unprecedented good news almost stunned Charles I. There will also be a reflection on the weirdness of it.

When Liu Feng handed over many terms and contracts to Charles I, and asked him to sign them.

He did so on the spot, and assured him solemnly, "...... I am willing to do everything in my power to save this dying world and England, please help me with all my might. I can guarantee with my life that those of you who have good intentions will also be richly rewarded! ”

Overall, both sides were happy.

Of course, Zhu Zilong and Liu Feng are naturally not bad people, Holy.

Such support for Charles I is actually purposeful. Just like in later generations, the Japanese supported the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty and established Manchukuo in the three eastern provinces.

What I want is the name of Charles I, and I want a puppet to confuse the water of Europe better.

(Charles I's history in Europe is indeed striking, but in his own right, the character of this out-of-fashion king is not too bad.) So at least in the short term, there shouldn't be any moths. )

Only after the success of the cooperation, whether you want to eat black or not depends on the situation.

Speaking of which, Charles I was also a poor man.

The reign was also characterized by chaotic religious conflicts, with subjects generally distrustful of their king's beliefs.

On the one hand, during the Thirty Years' War, his mistakes succeeded in helping the Protestant forces, but on the other hand, he married a Roman Catholic princess.

After his defeat in the First English Civil War, Parliament wanted him to accept a constitutional monarchy, but he did not agree.

At that time, British capitalist industry and commerce had developed greatly, and the new bourgeoisie was gradually gaining power, demanding equality for all and limiting the rights of the king. But Charles I did not take them seriously at all, and in 1629 he dissolved the parliament representing the interests of the new bourgeoisie.

Of course, after this, if it were not for Charles I, who lived a luxurious and luxurious life, the treasury was empty, so he imposed endless exorbitant taxes on the people, which caused people to complain. He probably won't step down so soon!

Belong to the half-dead king!

In the original history, he was after the defeat of the first civil war. A second civil war was soon waged, but it was quickly defeated and did not escape the fate of being a prisoner. Soon he was guillotined amid the spitting of the people.

It's just, in this plane.

Before his second civil war began, Zhu Zilong's black hands made all the Europeans unable to take care of themselves and messed up.

However, Zhu Zilong also believes that a civil war or something is still feasible.

It's better to fight as scheduled. And, preferably, Comrade Charlie, you have to go against the sky and turn defeat into victory.

In March 1649, Parliament declared the abolition of the monarchy and the establishment of a republic, ending the feudal dynasty. How can such a thing happen?

Zhu Zilong hopes that the republic or something will never happen in Europe.

For example, the Qing Dynasty in later generations has always closed off the country. Zhu Zilong also hopes that European countries will continue to have monarchies and dominate the country. The Industrial Revolution or something, or not to happen.

Half a month later, when Liu Feng rescued a sick and dying white man in front of the Pope, he used traditional Chinese medicine to rescue him.

Although there was no guarantee that the disease would be cured, it successfully brought the white man back to life and lived a semi-normal life. For a time, the Pope shocked Liu Feng as a god and a miracle doctor.

So, the spy chief who has lived here for many years, Comrade Liu Feng.

Like Infernal Affairs, he went deep into the upper echelons of the church, became the chief physician of the church, and became a cardinal archbishop. (At this time, the original red clothes were almost dead, and they were not very valuable.) can be exchanged for a small life guarantee, and the pope will not be stingy and seal officials indiscriminately. )

Cardinal is the colloquial name for a Catholic cardinal. The cardinals are dressed in red. Moreover, cardinals have the right to vote for the pope, and their status is high.

In other words, Liu Feng's official position in the church is really not small.

It belongs to one person and above ten thousand.

Moreover, Liu Feng also donated a large number of materials to the church for this purpose, which can be regarded as meeting the requirements of the church for special promotion of those who have made great contributions.

(In fact, Liu Feng didn't spend a lot of money on the donated materials.) There are dead cities everywhere, and it's not easy to let your men go down and find something valuable. )

Soon, Liu Feng, who won the heart of the Pope, began to say good things to Charles I and solicit sponsorship.

So, the pope was under the lure of a small life and wealth.

Risking a big gamble on the credibility of the Holy See, he publicly declared Charles I, innocent of his crimes in the civil war.

Oh, this era. If you bet on the credibility of the Holy See, then Charles I is legally innocent. In the past, Charles I could not pay the price, and there would be people in the church who would oppose the Pope's single-mindedness.

However, in the current church, the pope is completely a one-word church, and naturally it can be done.

With the Pope's assurance, no matter how much human and physical evidence there is, it will be in vain, and an attempt to overturn the case is heresy. That is, Charles I, the initial successful whitewashing!
