Chapter 760: Taught with Reservations

When Jeanne and her children landed in Marseille, the allied forces of the vassal states of the Church were fighting against the Portuguese and French forces on the western border of France, and the war was still raging.

It stands to reason that the military strength of the alliance of the vassal states of the church is still very strong.

It should be easy to fight Portugal and France.

However, the truth is often unexpected.

In the face of the attack of the allied forces of the Church vassal states, although the Portuguese and French were very dangerous for a time, they survived, and the allied forces of the vassal states stopped the offensive on the French border and could no longer advance an inch.

This made a lot of people's jaws drop.

The American Volunteer Army, with more than 8,000 troops, confronted the tens of thousands of troops of the Holy Roman Empire, and with its strong offensive ability and fierce lethality, the army of the Holy Roman Empire was blocked in the southeast.

It can be said that in this half, the war between the alliance of the vassal states of the church and the Portuguese and French did not achieve their combat objectives.

At this point, Spain had become de facto destroyed by the de facto occupation of Portugal and France.

However, Portugal and France used this half year to vigorously rectify the occupied Spain, uprooting some internal resistance forces, which can be said to have cut off the possibility of Spain's resurgence.

At the same time, the missing royals in Spain also have news of them.

After the fall of Madrid, the Spanish royal family fled.

However, on the way, they encountered a group of robbers, and the end result was that they were all killed by the robbers and buried in the middle of nowhere.

It can be said that the Spanish royal family was very coincidental this time, and they were all killed all at once.

This is a big problem for Portugal and France.

At least, for a long time, no one will carry a flag to call the Spanish people to revolt, will they?

When Portugal and France governed the occupied Spanish land, they listened to the advice of Chinese observers from the Americas and transferred the land that Spain had originally been held by the aristocracy. It was all distributed to the bankrupt Spaniards.

This has been supported and welcomed by many low-level people in Spain.

As a result, this greatly accelerated the stabilization of the situation between Portugal and France, and at the same time consolidated the role of the occupied territories.

At the beginning, the observers of Chinese descent in the United States only briefly analyzed the pros and cons of the high-level leaders of the two countries, and did not bother to say anything at all.

The distribution of land to the bankrupt and the peasants would first give them the land and the assets in their hands, so that they would not be idle and riot.

It is important to know that the propertied and the proletarian are not the same, and often the source of riots and turmoil is often the case. All are proletarians.

Because they don't have assets, they become a source of turmoil and chaos.

This truth makes sense.

At the same time, the observer also elaborated on another benefit of the bankrupts when they have land.

The benefit is simple: it can alleviate the food crisis and increase agricultural tax revenues.

After all, agricultural taxes will only be increased when there are more farmers.

And. The land has to be planted, and if there is no seed, then the land will be wasted.

Therefore, only the land that is used is useful.

Otherwise. No matter how much land you have in your hands, there's no use for it anywhere.

This is a principle that the high-level leaders of the two countries agree very much.

Moreover, the distribution of land to the peasants was not given in vain, and they had to be explained to them. For what they will become bankrupts, and the original Spanish landlords and aristocrats, the oppression of them is harmful and related.

Other words. They must be told that they are now homeless bankrupts because of the old Spanish aristocracy.

And Portugal and France were not invaders, but liberators.

Moreover, this propaganda must continue to be deepened with all our heart.

As long as this propaganda is done well, then the Spanish land divided between Portugal and France will be more stable.

In ten years' time, the people of these lands will become the people of Portugal and France.

This suggestion by the observer of the Americas caused the high-level leaders of Portugal and France to shout 'Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! ’。

It is important to know that when it comes to propaganda, it is impossible for Europeans in this era to compare with those of Chinese descent who have some knowledge.

This is only rudimentary, too advanced and the observer does not want to hand it over to Portugal and France.

The reason why I am telling you such a method now is to let them consolidate the cities and the hearts of the people as soon as possible, so that they can concentrate their efforts on fighting the vassal states of the church.

In short, the Song Empire in the Americas was not well-intentioned.

Even so, Portugal and France were grateful to the observers.

Because after they publicized it, they found that this method is indeed very useful.

There were even many Spaniards who had divided the land and took the initiative to send their children to the army, saying that they wanted to surround their land.

The reason for this is simple, because it is heard that the vassal states of the Church are going to defeat Portugal and France and restore Spain.

This was something that the Spanish peasants who had been given the land could not accept and feared.

You must know that they have now obtained the land, and the days are just a little hopeful.

If Spain were to be restored, wouldn't they have to reprogram the bankrupts and the homeless?

Because if Spain were to be restored, their land would definitely be taken back now.

Moreover, the land they own now used to belong to either a certain aristocratic lord or a certain powerful landlord.

Therefore, after the restoration of Spain, the resumption of land does not count.

I don't know if they will be liquidated!

For this reason, the people at the bottom of Spain, who were allocated land and could hope for a better life, were very eager for Portugal and France not to be defeated.

Only then did they feel that they could continue to guarantee that the land was in their own hands.

It can be said that the emergence of this incident is very dramatic.

The observer also knew that he could use this method, but considering some consequences, he did not tell the Portuguese and French countries, and could use it for propaganda and agitation.

But even then, something like this arose.

Moreover, the Spaniards who got the land were very enthusiastic.

According to their words. Defeat the alliance of the Church vassal states and protect your land.

In this way, there is also a clear benefit.

That is, some of the forces of resistance of the Spanish Restoration that were hidden under the blow, suddenly lost the market.

Relying only on the remnants of some nobles and landlords, it is obviously impossible to succeed without the support of the broad masses of the people.

At the same time, they have to guard against these people when they meet or have activities.

God knows if they will report it.

In the past six months, many people have been reported and lost their heads.

Portugal and France also don't know what Lu Dao thinks. They did not grasp the enthusiasm of the people this time and went deeper.

Portugal and France did not accept the demands of the Spanish people who asked to join the army.

Of course, the good things were said.

What makes them farm well, after all, consider their families first, and the country does not need them to dedicate themselves now.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it's just that I'm afraid of some uncontrollable problems.

In particular, the Portuguese and French countries were very important to these Spaniards. I still have a deep sense of wariness.

The observer of Chinese descent did not give any advice on this situation.

He was also glad to see such a mistake in Portugal and France.

If this was done by the Song Empire, those Spaniards would definitely be recruited into the army.

It can't be broken up into various legions. Let them not come together, so that there will be no trouble.

Moreover, the propaganda offensive is to be doubled.

It's made into songs, and some plays or something. Go on tour everywhere.

As for the content, it is nothing more than the tragedy of being oppressed by the landlords and aristocrats, the tragedy of the whole family dying after the good people can't survive.

But. These are the ways in which observers will not speak.

Because he knew very well that Portugal and France were also potential enemies of the Empire.

The Empire could use them to stir up Europe, but it would not make Portugal and France bigger.

After the rise of the empire, if Portugal and France are willing to be little brothers, they can still keep them as dogs to watch the European continent.

But if they don't listen, hehe...... Needless to say, this one.

In any case, within six months, the situation in the occupied territories of Portugal and France quickly stabilized.

And some of the things that erupted from the low-level people in the former Spain also frightened the French aristocracy.

In fact, the things of the French nobles are not much better than the Spanish nobles.

In the same way, they seized the land of the poor and turned them into bankrupts.

Even, usury was issued, so that the people became their own slaves, serving their own farming for generations.

Speaking of which, it's all a handful of blood and a handful of tears.

As for Portugal, they have just been restored, and they haven't had time to do evil yet.

However, this person himself has an inferior nature, and it will definitely be exposed over time.

And what did those people in Portugal come back to?

Could it be that it is really for justice?

Bullshit!

They are for power, to be a chance to be superior.

To put it bluntly, it's nothing more than power, money, land, and women.

From ancient times to the present, this is basically the case.

It's just that many people will put on a beautiful coat for their behavior to confuse the world.

That is, to have a reasonable excuse.

But no matter what excuses and cloak they cover, they can't change the essence of things.

For power, for the right to step on the top of the pyramid, and for the right to live a more nourishing life than ordinary people.

The same is true of the nature of the Portuguese Renaval.

It's just that Portugal was annexed by Spain for decades, so many people have forgotten the oppression of the original Portuguese aristocracy.

Now, after the restoration of Portugal, the nobles occupy the land originally occupied by the Spanish nobles, and now they have not had the opportunity to bully ordinary people.

Observers from the Americas, however, believe that it is only a matter of time before the Portuguese become corrupt. (To be continued......)
