Chapter 1320: European Storm (26)

"Chief, the rumors we have spread now have seriously affected the morale of the allied forces of the vassal states of the Church. Now the soldiers on their side are already demoralized and have no heart to fight. After all, we spread rumors that those church masters will start looting people's wealth again, and if they can't pay the money, they will be charged with some trumped-up charges, and they have to worry about their relatives at home. ”

In the Vatican, where Jenny was hiding, Chaks gave a report to Jenny about what had happened these days.

While listening to Chucks's report, the corners of Jenny's mouth curled slightly, which showed that she was in a very good mood at this moment.

Well, why wouldn't she be happy to be able to cause such trouble to the church.

As long as she can block the church and make the people in the church uncomfortable, her heart will be very happy.

But that's where it goes.

She wants revenge on the church, but that's not all.

"Well done, everything is going pretty well now. Are the people in the church indifferent to this situation at all? ”

Jenny asked Chucks.

Hearing this, Chacks showed a look of disdain, smiled 'hehe', and then responded: "I heard that most of the people on the side of the twelve cardinals are not in favor of solving the difficulties on the side of the alliance of the church vassal states. These unplucked iron roosters, if they want to pay for them, it really seems to kill them. ”

Chucks told Jenny about the current situation at the church.

"I really don't know what's going on in these guys' heads. How could they be so short-sighted, couldn't they see that if they lost militarily, the wealth in their hands would not be preserved at all? ”

For those cardinals who did not support the help of the alliance of vassal states, Chucks really did not understand the thoughts at all.

Jenny pursed her lips: "The minds of these guys are very simple, they are just reluctant to pay, and there is nothing else. I really know them too well, and they are all misers. ”

Jenny's thoughts on these people. It's really very thorough, and there is no mistake at all.

Those cardinals who do not support it do have such careful thoughts.

"I don't think the Pope is so idiotic, so soon there will be a decision on the Church's side. I also know something about the Pope, and although he is a little older, he is not as stupid as those people. So let's just focus on this matter first, you tell me how the French are doing? “

Jenny had her own judgment, she didn't think that the people in the church were such idiots.

At least, the pope she knew and came into contact with was not such a person.

Otherwise. Nor could this old fellow be pope and run a huge church for so many years.

Come to think of it, this old pope must have seen the benefits and losses clearly, and then made the most suitable decision for him.

Therefore, Jeanne can stop focusing on the Vatican for the time being, and focus on the French side.

After all, after his plan was launched, it caused a lot of trouble for the alliance of the church vassal states.

Arguably. In a short period of time, the military strength of the alliance of the vassal states of the church has weakened a lot.

And for the sake of balance, then on the French side, she also sent people to spread some rumors. So that the French will not take advantage of this opportunity to defeat their opponents.

You know, the Empire's plan here in Europe is not to let peace come.

If the French take the opportunity to defeat the coalition of vassal states that support the Church, then they will be able to unify Europe, right?

This is not much good for the interests of the Empire.

The French are actually wolves that can't be fed.

Don't look at their current relationship with the Empire is very good, but this is based on the fact that the French need the Empire's material and economic assistance.

Once the French were to unify Europe. Then, according to the virtues of the French, they would have turned around and gone to war with the Empire.

There is no eternal friendship between countries. That's simply not possible.

Don't look at the empire is now a big creditor of the French, but when it's really time to turn around, the French can completely deny it, right?

Therefore, Jenny is also afraid that it will be really because of her relationship that such a consequence will occur.

It's not something she can afford.

So, in order to avoid such a thing, she had to cause a little trouble for the French for the sake of balance, so that they had no time to concentrate on the side of the vassal states.

Seeing Jenny asking about this, Chucks hurriedly replied: "The French side is not very peaceful, and the rumors about the corruption of the nobles also make the soldiers in the French army very angry. So now the noble generals of the French army don't have the energy to pay attention to the affairs of the vassal states, and they are solving the problem of unstable military morale. “

Ha ha!

Jenny breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that everything went very smoothly and nothing went wrong.

"That's good, as long as everything goes well." , Jenny said happily to Chucks.

Chucks thought for a moment and asked, "Chief, what should we do next?" Once the rumors spread, it also had a great impact on both of them. Shouldn't we do something else? “

It's not for nothing that Chucks asks.

Small tactics like spreading rumors are just part of Jenny's plan.

Jeanne's real plan was to get both the church and the French into trouble, and then they would fish in troubled waters.

As for the target of fishing in troubled waters, of course, it is the enemy of the big guys, one of the cardinals of the Church of Twelve.

"Well, now it looks like we can start with the second step."

Jenny thought for a moment, and her expression became serious.

Chucks heard Jenny say this, and his face was overjoyed.

"Chief, please command!"

Jenny looked at Chucks seriously and said, "I need someone's whereabouts, and at the same time, I also need to know the whereabouts of some military generals on the side of the Church vassal states, and the French side also need them." ”

Other than that, Jenny didn't say anything more.

However, Chucks understood that Jenny was about to start the real thing.

His heart was full of excitement.

He's been waiting for this day for a long time, hasn't he'd been waiting for too long.

"Rest assured, Chief. Soon their information will be available. ”

The street outside the building is very bustling with people.

Compared to most European cities during this period, the Vatican was still very prosperous.

Probably because the war didn't have a big impact on the area.

On the streets of the Vatican, it is common to see priests or clergy in robes, and occasionally some high-ranking members of the Church.

It's just that, a lot of the time, you're just seeing some grassroots church members.

In addition, the streets of the Vatican are most popped up by Jewish merchants who are active all over Europe.

The Vatican is rich, and Jewish businessmen are smart and good at investing.

Therefore, the Vatican, for its part, hit it off with the Jewish businessmen and began to engage in some commercial cooperation in private.

After all, people in the church can't do business and buy and sell openly.

At the same time, in order to obtain the maximum profit, the business that the church wants to do must also be the kind of business that can guarantee the capital and have sufficient profits.

Therefore, usury became the first choice.

It can be said that the market for usury in Europe during this period was monopolized by Jewish merchants.

They have the money of the church in their hands, and of course they can lend a lot of money to the people.

Because the people have land mortgages, they don't have to worry about losing money at all.

As for someone who wants to repay the debt or something, there is no need to worry about it at all.

Not to mention that behind these usurious Jewish businessmen, there is such a great god as the church.

Even these Jewish businessmen themselves also have some underworld power.

Just outside the building where Jenny and her family were hiding, there were many Jewish merchants coming and going.

Standing by the window, Jenny looked at the pedestrians in the street, then turned back to Chaxx and said, "You can get in touch with the Jewish merchants, these guys only know money, and if you can give them enough good, I don't think there's anything they can't sell." ”

Chacks nodded, convinced.

If you want to get hold of the information Jenny is talking about in the short term, you have to get in touch with the Jews.

For these Jewish merchants, as long as there is money, there is nothing they dare not sell to you.

Even if it is some little secret of the pope, they dare to exchange it for money.

Of course, only if you can get enough price.

If you don't have a price tag that impresses them, then you won't get anything.

Jenny wasn't too worried about that.

Because she has already received a large amount of money from the Marseille Concession. Therefore, the economy is very relaxed, and there is no need to worry about running out of money.

"Remember when you came into contact with the Jewish merchants, you had to divide into two groups. And these two groups of you represent the French and the Church. ”

Chucks smiled and responded, "Don't worry, Chief, I won't forget this." At the same time, I will once again seriously explain to the people below and let them remember this. Isn't it just muddying the waters, and when we successfully implement the plan, the two sides will erupt into more fierce retaliation. ”

When Jenny got a response from Chucks, she leaned against the window again to hide her figure and set her eyes on the street outside the window.

Neither the French nor the Church knew that they were now being targeted, and that it would not be long before a great storm swept over both sides. (To be continued......)
