Chapter 164: Perfect Knight
In fact, Philip VI did not teach John these two things until his death.
Watch out for the actions of the nobility.
And running away.
In 1359, John, who had been king for less than ten years, was finally captured by Edward, the Black Prince of England, at the Battle of Poitiers.
The British army led by the Black Prince was 8,000, while the French army claimed to be 25,000.
The battle was lost suddenly.
Judging from the literature, John's military methods were in no way weaker than that of his father Philip VI, and even less weaker than that of Edward, the Black Prince.
When the two sides were negotiating, some British nobles proposed that each of them send 100 knights to hedge against each other to decide the outcome of the battle.
If it hadn't been for the refusal of the nobles, John would have agreed to this condition long ago, and would have personally mounted a horse to compete with the knight of Edward.
The reason is very simple, the French army is outnumbered, and the number of British troops on the opposite side is more than four times that is surplus, so why should there be a fair duel with the British army?
John was forced to turn down the duel offer, which he had enjoyed.
The reason why John lost this battle can be said in many points.
But to sum it up, there are two more points.
Edward, the Black Prince, fought with his back to the water, while the French army under John had left Germany.
It can be said that John fought recklessly, liked to lead the charge, did not like to run away, and deserved to be caught.
Is it true that the aristocracy is suspicious of the French royal family?
If it weren't for the great estrangement between Fagui and the royal family, John Zhen might not have lost to the Black Prince in this battle, let alone be captured as a prisoner easily.
You must know that his father John was arrested, and his son Charlie, who was just 19 years old, had to stand up as regent at a young age and re-prop up the French royal family.
Although some of the methods are not glamorous, it cannot be said that Charlie did it wrong.
It can even be said that from the perspective of the French royal family, Charlie is really smart and wise.
In this big mess, it is not easy to save my father, suppress the uprising, fight a war, improve the estrangement between the noble royal families, and turn the tide of the Hundred Years War between Britain and France.
Of course, these aftermaths are still too far away for Xu Siling.
From Xu Siling's point of view, even if Philip VI didn't fight, he wouldn't live long.
At the age of fifty, he was already a long-lived man in the Middle Ages.
Philip VI died, and it was only a matter of one or two years.
The reason why Xu Siling insisted on going north, the purpose has not changed, is to find an opportunity to contact the father and son John and Charlie.
History does not speak very well of Philip VI, and Xu Siling is not very interested in a dying king.
On the contrary, I want to confirm whether John and Charlie, father and son, are as history says.
If yes.
That at least proves that the Kingdom of France can still be saved.
He didn't talk about saving the Kingdom of France, but from the perspective of Phil, it was certain that he would give priority to supporting the French royal family.
If you come to Paris and come into contact with John and Charlie, you will find that the situation of this father and son and history is completely different.
John was not a good man, and Charlie did not show his wise temperament as a child.
Then he immediately took Fei'er south to find the Pope, looking for an opportunity to take the Pope to Rome.
Be a pope saint with peace of mind, isn't it fragrant to live?
The pit of the Kingdom of France, he couldn't jump into it with his eyes closed.
But now after simple contact, Xu Siling has a pretty good impression of John and Charlie, the father and son.
Charlie is not clear, at least John is a fool knight.
In fact, there is one point that Xu Siling ignores.
He did not ignore Philip VI's words.
John's wife, Bonet, died at about the same time as Pope Clement VI.
And they all died of the Black Death.
This is a good reason to die.
But if you associate it by coincidence, you can't be suspicious.
It's like a hand, deliberately pinning these two people to death on a piece of land.
It just so happened that Xu Siling didn't know.
At this time, Philip VI really had the intention of killing Bonnet and Clement VI.
Palace Book House.
Philip VI was a little helpless after his temper, but things still had to be done.
It is a good thing to issue an official document to promote Xu Siling's reputation as a perfect knight.
Xu Siling is famous, and even Fei'er's prestige and status will rise layer by layer, which indirectly affects the nobles' opinion of the royal family.
After all, the current Fei'er is a well-known royal faction, and the nobles know that Fei'er supports the royal family.
It's just that Philip VI did not forget that this aristocratic women's tea party was the one he suggested to Madame Bonnet to organize.
The goal is to find an opportunity for Blanche and John to get acquainted, so that he can take the lead.
Don't look at Blanche growing up in the palace, John basically doesn't like to stay in the palace, since the regent of Philip VI, they can't avoid quarrels when they meet.
John really didn't like to stay in the palace, so Blanche and John never met.
Philip VI knew that John loved Bone, but Blanche's special status prevented him from being exiled.
If it is cheap, it can only be cheaper for them Valois.
He was old, and it was only natural that the next king, John, would have to do it.
Blanche's beauty, Philip VI naturally saw it, and it deserved to be called the beautiful and wise existence of the kingdom by the nobles.
Women chase men, compartment yarn.
As long as Blanche is obedient and after getting acquainted with John, she is such a beautiful woman, and she moves her fingers, and she doesn't hook John's mind?
Now Blanche is still in John's mansion to prepare for a dinner, and Philip VI can't ask for the details later, so he can only wait for her to return to the palace to find out.
In the palace, Philip VI worked alone and silently.
And John's private residence.
John, who fled from the palace, also sorted out his emotions on the way.
It was the first time for him to call his father a stupid pig.
Philip VI was not a good king, but he was barely a good father.
John recalls that when Philip VI was not king, father and son got along much better than they do now.
His fascination with chivalry was somewhat influenced by Philip VI.
You must know that when Philip VI was young, he was also a reckless young knight, and he was inferior to John.
But fortunately, John is used to such things as quarrels.
When John returned to the mansion, he found his busy wife, Bonnet, and told him that he wanted Xu Siling to become the swordsmanship teacher of the mansion.
Bonnet naturally agreed, and it was estimated that no one in Paris would refuse such a thing now—except for Madame Stan.
But when he heard John say that he wanted Xu Siling to be his teacher, Bonet's head shook like a rattle.
"My husband, forget about it. I know you like Raya Knight very much, and I'm sure Raya Knight has a good impression of you. You can be your age, plus your identity, and recognize the Raya Knight as a teacher."
Madame Bonnet watched as John's expression gradually became lost.
She has always spoiled her husband, and she can't help but be helpless.
"Husband, not to mention what the king thinks, the nobles alone will definitely make fun of your behavior. You are now the Dauphin, the future King of France, and I know that you and the King disagree and are prone to quarrels. But I know that the king trusts you, and you must be worthy of the king's trust. ”
John waved his hand: "Then what if Charlie recognizes Xu as a teacher." ”
Truth be told, Bonet hesitated.
It's not bad, it's a good thing.
Charlie is still young, there is still room for growth, and following Xu Siling is beneficial in all aspects.
Not to mention anything else, if Charlie can really learn a trick and a half from Xu Siling, it will be a great advantage for Charlie.
You know, when John becomes king, Charles will be the crown prince.
But even if you are the crown prince, whether you can command those nobles and knights militarily and make them listen to you well depends on your means and prestige.
An apprentice of the perfect knight of the kingdom.
Throwing out this title can increase Charlie's prestige in the army.
A hundred years later, it doesn't matter whether this title is used or not, Madame Bonnet.
At least for now
No one will question the glory of this title.
Because the era when the knight was proud of Xu Siling, in the eyes of Madame Bonnet, was coming.
Let Charlie become Xu Siling's apprentice, there is no harm in Baili.
If you want to say anything bad, it's that Madame Bonnet is not very reluctant.
Xu Siling will not be in Paris all the time, he and Fei'er have come to Paris for a mission.
By the time the meeting between Philip and Philip VI was over, they would have to return to the town of Raya.
Then the question is, should Charlie go back with Xu Siling?
Follow back, Mrs. Bonnet, who spoils her husband and son, is really reluctant.
This time, at least for a few years, I won't see her good son.
If you don't follow, let Charlie learn from Xu Siling in Paris for a few days.
What can you learn?
It's also a joke to say.
Finally, Bonnet and John discuss the time of Charlie's apprenticeship.
didn't ask Xu Siling if he would agree, and he didn't care about Charlie's opinion.
John wanted Charlie to stay with Xu Siling for five years and come back when Charlie was an adult.
Madame Bonnet was naturally reluctant.
The two argued and tugged back, and finally set the time at two years.
As for how much Charlie can learn in two years, it depends on his ability.
Even if you don't learn it, it's not bad to have a gold-plated identity.
After discussing it, John found his good son, Charlie.
As soon as this matter was said, Charlie was so angry that he quarreled with John and refused directly.
Father-son quarrels are probably a tradition of the Valois family.
No matter what, it will be solved by quarreling.
The reason why Charlie is angry is very simple, it's not that he doesn't want to recognize Xu Siling as a teacher, who doesn't want this kind of thing?
Especially Charlie, who still witnessed how Xu Siling descended from heaven to earth.
In the Middle Ages, men all put the pursuit of strength first, Charlie didn't care about the so-called chivalry, but Xu Siling brought the charm behind the tough power, but Charlie was deeply fascinated.
With Xu Siling as his teacher, Charlie is of course willing to cock his ass.
He was angry, that is, angry with John and Bonet, and did not consult him when he encountered things, and made his own decisions.
"I'm older, I can call the shots about my affairs! You and your mother don't keep deciding everything for me! ”
"The butt is so big that it's not enough for me to kick it, who will show this face! Tell you, when your mother comes over and puts on this stinky face, you don't want to eat tonight. ”
"If you don't eat, you won't eat! Don't scare me with this set, if you dare to hit me, I'll go to grandpa! ”
At the mention of Philip VI, the breath in John's chest suddenly came up again, grabbed Charlie's collar and was about to turn over and spank.
Threaten Lao Tzu with Lao Tzu, Charlie is also the first person in Europe.
Charlie's body was still small, and he was not John's opponent, so he was caught all at once.
He also has a good face, and he doesn't shout when he is caught, otherwise more people will see it, John is not ashamed, he is still ashamed.
Just as John was about to make a move, Mrs. Bonnet happened to come and almost fainted at the sight of this scene.
There are still so many nobles in the mansion now, and if it were known that John was beating her son, her face would be disgraced.
He quickly snatched his son out of John's hand.
After asking, I found out the reason for the incident.
Charlie was angry with his parents for making their own decisions.
John was angry with his son and threatened Lao Tzu with his Lao Tzu.
"Then my child, don't you want to recognize the Raya Knight as a teacher?"
"Yes, but I'll decide for myself!"
"Decide what."
"I want to follow Mr. Siling, learn swordsmanship well, no matter if it is five years or ten years, I will never go back to Paris if I don't learn something!"
John's eyes lit up and he took the opportunity to kick Charlie in the ass.
"This is my good son! Be ambitious, father supports you! Anyway, if you don't study well, don't come back! ”
Hear the words of the father and son who have reached a consensus.
Bonet was dizzy again.
When it came to letting Xu Siling be a swordsmanship teacher, John didn't rush to talk to Xu Siling.
Because Xu Siling was not there at this dinner.
On the one hand, it is more tired, and it is a gun contest to win the whole game, and it is a knight contest to fight a crowd.
The mules are tired enough.
On the other hand, Xu Siling is not good at the dinner at this time.
He didn't want to be a zoo animal.
This kind of enjoyment is better left to Fei'er.
Many female aristocrats stayed to attend the dinner, and they basically stayed for Xu Siling.
Now that Xu Siling is not here, the pressure will naturally come to Fei'er.
Phil, who has a petite body, bears the pressure she shouldn't bear, and is 'besieged' by many female aristocrats in Paris.
Fortunately, I prepared in advance and used my brain to know what was going to happen.
Anyway, after the dinner, Fei'er's face stiffened with laughter.
When he returned to the Count of Boulevard's house, Phil rubbed his stiff face with his hands all the way.
At this time, Xu Siling was in a daze looking at the personal information window on the bed.
