Although the rumors spread by the alliance with the vassal states of the Church are not quite the same, the version is probably the same.

Jenny, they just changed the content, and the meaning is basically similar.

The rumors among the allied forces of the church vassal states are that the iron rooster at the top of the church is not pulling out a dime, and they also want to continue to squeeze money from the people at the bottom to supplement the lack of military salaries.

Of course, there is also a little idea of wanting to make money from the process.

Therefore, the low-level soldiers in the alliance of the vassal states of the church suddenly shook their hearts and made people panic.

Faced with this situation, the generals of the alliance of the vassal states of the church were at a loss, and at the same time, they began to hate the priests of the church in their hearts.

Although everyone didn't say anything on the surface, they all had such disgusting thoughts in their hearts.

It is foreseeable that if the church continues to do so over time, a split in the coalition will surely occur.

It's just that now in the face of a powerful enemy, they can only unite tightly to fight.

However, after the seeds are planted, they will definitely blossom and bear fruit, right?

Of course, these things are not for Jenny and her sisters to consider and measure.

On the other hand, on the side of the Portuguese and French coalition forces, rumors are also overwhelming.

The content is probably that those aristocratic officers of the French army squandered the material and economic aid of the Song Empire, but in fact, only a small part of the low-level soldiers fell into the hands of the low-level soldiers.

At the same time, even if the soldiers got this part of their hands, they were deducted.

Like in the East, there is also a custom of deducting military salaries and 'drinking soldiers' blood on the Western side, so those low-level soldiers will also have resentment against this unspoken rule.

It's just that, considering their own status and the status of the other party, what can they do as a low-level soldier in the face of such unspoken rules.

They can't resist at all, can they.

The rumors are true. And there are accurate numbers, as well as the names of some of the moths.

Those soldiers who knew about the rumors believed the rumors after thinking about their actual situation for a while.

No, because they were indeed deducted from their salaries, and they did not receive their salaries on time every month.

This is also to blame on the French, since there is a large amount of economic aid from the Song Empire, as well as material aid. It stands to reason that they are actually very loose on their hands.

No matter what, it won't be in arrears to the soldiers.

Of course. The French weren't really in arrears, after all, they had received aid from the Song Empire, didn't they.

However, there are also cases where military salaries are usually delayed for half a month, or a month later.

The reason is very simple, those officers took out the soldiers' salaries and used them to lend.

That's why things like this happen.

Short-term interest is lucrative, and they don't worry about borrowers not paying back.

Therefore. It's profitable business.

In addition, when the military salary is paid, they can also deduct a sum of money, and the amount of money that can fall into their hands is not small.

The officers, who held the power to pay their salaries, usually received dozens of louis each a month.

Originally. It was all tacit, and the soldiers did not complain about anything.

But I don't know which guy who lacks virtue and smokes actually spread such rumors.

You must know that those soldiers don't say it. But there must be resentment in the heart.

The officers are not idiots, they know this very well.

But as long as these soldiers don't stick together, then they don't have a position to threaten vested interests.

But now it's different. The spread of rumors led to a common language among the low-level soldiers. Therefore, these soldiers, often several people gather together to talk about this issue.

From complaining verbally, it expanded to a little bit of action.

Today, the situation is somewhat out of control.

In this regard, the generals in the French army gritted their teeth with hatred for the guy who spread the rumors, and they couldn't wait to swallow this person in one bite.

Eventually, they targeted the church, because it seemed to them that only the church would do such a thing.

So, when the discontent of the soldiers grew, the French generals decided to start attacking on their own initiative. Shattering the peace that had been peaceful and calm, the soldiers had no time to think about it anymore.

Of course, these aristocratic officers also began to be cautious, and decided not to deduct the soldiers' money for a while.

Wait until you calm down and get past the limelight.

Compared to the French, the Portuguese are quiet.

Because it has only been two years since Portugal was restored, those officers are not old aristocrats. Therefore, there is no such bad habit on the body, and the soldiers recruited after the restoration of the country have deep patriotic feelings.

Therefore, in the Portuguese army, such headaches did not arise.

Besides, the Song Empire also gave aid to Portugal, so the soldiers were able to receive their salaries on time every month, and there was no deduction.

Therefore, the rumours that circulated on the side of the French did not have the slightest influence on the Portuguese.

In fact, this is also what Jenny didn't specifically target them.

Otherwise, how could this be?

Because Jeanne pondered that the French were in some confusion here, but they could not make the Portuguese chaotic as well.

After all, the strength of the ecclesiastical coalition faced by Portugal and France was really huge.

Therefore, the French are a bit chaotic, so the Portuguese can't be chaotic here. If there is a problem on the side of the French, but not on the part of the Portuguese, then they can hold their ground at a critical time and not let the Church defeat them.

Of course, the church is still too busy to take care of itself.

Therefore, how could they have acted unfavorably against the Portuguese and French forces at this time?

The French also took at least one action to try to organize the widening of the unfavorable situation.

However, in the alliance of the vassal states of the Church, the clergy did not care at all about the situation they were facing, or even ignored it at all.

In the eyes of these high-ranking clergymen, the soldiers at the bottom are nothing more than cannon fodder and lambs. It's an existence that can be slaughtered at any time, so why should I care about it?

These people can't afford to make any waves, and they are not at all as threatening as the generals say.

Even if something does go wrong. As long as the name of the 'Lord' is used, there will be no problem with those soldiers.

Could it be that they still dare to resist the majesty of the Lord?

I have to say that these priests are thinking a little too simply.

Of course, this also has something to do with their habit of being powerful.

After all, on the European continent, the noble lord is feared. But compared to these people in the church, the priests are the most terrifying beings.

Because they have the name of the 'Lord', they can kill you by a name at any time, without the slightest responsibility.

At least, the aristocratic lords want to be whole. A plausible excuse is needed, isn't it.

If they had gone too far, the people in their realm would have breakfast.

But who has ever seen anyone dare to rebel against the church?

Because Europeans, who have been brainwashed by the church for so many centuries, really dare not do such a thing.

It is precisely for this reason that the clergy dare to have nothing to fear.

It can be said that Jenny's plan is going very smoothly, and everything is under her control.

"Chief, the French side may not be able to withstand it. Therefore, they want to start an active attack on the Church coalition to alleviate the dissatisfaction of the soldiers. Divert their attention and energy. At the same time, some high-ranking aristocratic generals have reached a tacit agreement that they will no longer deduct the soldiers' salaries for a period of time until the soldiers' grievances are alleviated. ”

Jenny, who has been hidden in the Vatican. On this day, I got news from the war zone.

Smiling, Jenny said to her deputy, the second leader Chax, "I didn't expect the French to be quite smart, they have already found a solution." I thought they would be the same as the people in the church. The attitude of the soldiers was ignored. ”

When Chucks heard this, he responded, "This kind of thing can only be done by the people of the church, after all, they are used to being high. And those low-level soldiers are simply some cannon fodder and lambs for them. So how could they, the shepherds who were in the place of the so-called Lord, be in the mind of a lamb? ”

Jenny thought for a moment, and remembered the people in the church she had come into contact with, and it was indeed all as Chucks had said.

"Foolish people, don't they know that if they want to win the war, they need to rely on the strength of these soldiers? If you rely on the so-called 'Lord,' you can't win the war." Jenny's face was very disdainful and contemptuous.

She thinks that the people in these churches must all have broken brains.

Otherwise, how could things have been allowed to go on like this?

Jenny could imagine with her little toes that the church was going to suffer a big loss this time.

Still, she was happy to be able to make the church suffer.

So, the more brain-dead the church people are, the better it is for her, isn't it?

Hahaha!

Jenny thought of this, and her face showed happiness again.

"Well, the implementation of this plan is going very well, and now everything is developing smoothly according to our plan. Now let's ignore the affairs over there, it is estimated that it will not be long before the war continues, so we don't need to worry about it. Now let's start focusing on the Vatican, so how are the people I asked you to investigate are investigating? ”

Jenny turned her head sideways, looked at Chucks and asked seriously.

"Chief, the person you asked us to investigate has now been investigated." , Chucks hurriedly responded. "Now that man is one of the twelve cardinals," replied Jenny, as Chucks took out a few pieces ......of vellum paper from his bosom and handed them over.

On vellum, written in Latin, it was full of information about the subjects of the investigation. (To be continued......)
