Zhu Zhanzhen said that letting Joan of Arc change the flag. This flag is the glory and symbol of Joan of Arc. This is tantamount to asking Joan of Arc to change her faith. How is this possible?
Jeanne d'Arc said slightly angrily: "Your Excellency Neptune, there is no way you can do it."
"Your Excellency Joan of Arc, I admire your character very much. It's a pity that you are French, and your king and I have an sworn hatred. If not, I would be very happy to provide you with the help I can." Zhu Zhan
He sighed.
"I still firmly believe in God's instructions. Your Excellency Neptune will definitely save France." Joan of Arc was extremely confident.
"I'm sorry, I don't believe in your god. I'm here for revenge. Theoretically speaking, you and I should still have a hostile relationship. However, I admire your character very much, so I will order a fight in the future. If you are caught
You, I won’t let my soldiers hurt you either.”
Joan of Arc became sad again: "Your Excellency Neptune, please don't launch a war against France. Our people have suffered so much in the war. War will not bring happiness to the world. I believe you understand this."
Zhu Zhanzhen stretched out his fingers and knocked on the table, picked up an Aka 47 and said: "War will not bring happiness, war is always the birthplace of suffering, but Joan of Arc, will you stop talking about Ying Gelan?"
War? Are you going to talk about these big principles with the Yinggelan soldiers in front of the battle? I am the same as you, we all have reasons for having to fight."
Joan of Arc looked embarrassed. As a member of France, she understood the danger of the war between the north and the south. The Ming army seemed to have few people, but the current defenders of Marseille City were many in number but insufficient in combat strength. She knew deeply
The combat effectiveness of the troops under these nobles is so impressive.
Just how much time would it take for these people to defeat the Ming army and how much price would they have to pay.
The British army took advantage of the situation to attack. Can their northern front hold out?
And she understands the selfishness of this nobleman. Once the Ming army and France go to war, Ying Gelan will definitely get the news as soon as possible. You can always trust the loyalty of the French nobleman.
Can't fight, absolutely can't fight, this is the only thought in Jeanne's heart.
Joan of Arc knelt down on one knee again and performed the knightly salute to Zhu Zhanyi: "Your Excellency Neptune, can you please stop launching a war against France? I can understand your anger, but the people of France are innocent. Your Excellency Neptune."
He is a kind prince and will definitely understand."
"I can understand but I can't do it. This is a good opportunity for Ming to take revenge. I have no reason to care that the people of your country have forgotten the hatred of our ministers. Our ministers have been wandering in a foreign country for several years.
, I have suffered so much, and now that I am here, you tell me not to take revenge. I'm sorry, but I can't do it. Even if I admire your personal character, I will not compromise in the face of the hatred of the country and the family."
At this time, Joan of Arc resorted to passing on the law: "Your Majesty the King of the Sea does not know that the king of Ingeland passed away a few years ago. Their king was just a seven or eight-year-old child, and his two uncles, the Duke of Gloucester,
Humphrey, John, Duke of Bedford, regent, we have received news that Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester will sail to France after January. This is a good opportunity. If Lord Sea King can catch him,
I believe we can learn more about your best friend Zheng He."
Zhu Zhanyi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Joan of Arc. Joan of Arc wanted to use herself as a gunman. Couldn't Zhu Zhanyi not see such an obvious approach?
Joan of Arc continued: "This news was revealed by John, Duke of Bedford, England. The two were fighting for the actual control of England. Humphrey controlled the mainland of England, and John controlled England's territory in France.
Most of the rights, so both sides want to get rid of the other party, and the information is absolutely reliable."
"I know that what I say will not make you change your attitude towards France, but this is a better choice. You are now at war with France. Although your army has better weapons, your numbers are insufficient and the follow-up supplies are insufficient.
, if a war really breaks out, many people in your army will die, and even you yourself will be in danger. Why not join forces to control the Ingeland people now? Duke Humphrey has been in power in Ingeland for a long time. I believe that your Excellency
The matter of Zheng He, my close friend, is related to him."
At this time, Zhu Zhanzhen looked at Hou Xian who was standing aside. Hou Xian nodded. He was the one who bought Zheng He back from the Duke. Speaking of this person, his face showed an expression of disgust.
Joan of Arc's words were half inducement and half threat. Now that war is going on in France, there is no doubt that both sides will fall into the mud of war. And now if we rely on this news and use the steam warship to capture the regent of Ingelland alive,
Duke, it may be a plan with less consumption and greater profit.
Joan of Arc is very smart, and she understands that politics and war are all about maximizing interests. When he revealed the news to Zhu Zhanzhen, he actually gave Zhu Zhanzhen a choice that he could not refuse.
With Zhu Zhanzhen's current manpower, if he wants to capture the regent Duke of Ingeland alive, he will have to send most of his men. By then, the remaining people will not be able to support the battle with France. If he insists on starting a war with France, he will miss out.
this opportunity.
As long as this information is true, the choice is very simple.
Zhu Zhanzhen's original plan was to rely on his own advantages in people and weapons, and rely on the French army being delayed on the northern front, and forcefully occupy an area on the southern coast of France as his frontline position. His general offensive plan was to put
After the canal is dug, this means that at least this base area will have to fight a stalemate with France for at least one or two years.
The amount of ammunition and manpower invested was very huge.
If he can really capture the Duke Regent of Ingeland, he will get a huge reward at a very low cost, and he will also be intercepted at sea while knowing the time and route of the opponent's departure. For the Ming Dynasty, which owns a steam fleet,
Simply the best choice.
It’s just a question of whether the news is true or false.
"Your Excellency Joan of Arc, when you and I first met, you gave me such information, which makes it difficult for me to believe your motives. I think you should have the intention of letting us fight and you will benefit."
Joan of Arc said with some embarrassment: "Our northern front in France is almost entirely occupied by England, so we have no ships that can go to sea in the north. We have prepared an army to intercept and kill Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, at the port, and Bayley
Duke John of Telford's men will stand by and use our hands to kill Humphrey. At the same time, they will return part of our land as a condition of the deal. Only a few people including me and His Royal Highness Prince Charles know about this."
"How can I trust you."
Faced with Zhu Zhanzhen's question, Joan of Arc held her own flag in hand and said with her head held high: "Your Excellency Neptune, I have told you everything I know, and I will still lead the army to the port to intercept the Duke of Gloucester.
, if you insist on attacking France, then you and I are mortal enemies. I swear in the name of God that I will lead the French cavalry to fight you until the last man!"
Joan of Arc's statement is to let Zhu Zhanchen understand that choosing to continue here will make you pay a greater price.
"Your Excellency Joan of Arc, our Ming army does not accept any threats." Zhu Zhanchen's eyes narrowed slightly, as fiercely as a snake staring at a mouse. Joan of Arc looked at him with shuddering eyes.
"I'm not threatening you." Joan of Arc didn't know what to say.
After a brief silence, Zhu Zhanzhen himself spoke to ease the tense atmosphere: "Your Excellency Joan of Arc, could this news of yours be lying to me?"
"I swear in the name of God, if I deceive Mr. Neptune, I am willing to hide in hell and be burned by the fire of hell forever, bitten by vicious dogs, and whipped with poisonous whips. I will be like this every day, and I will never go to heaven."
Joan of Arc made the oath directly.
For a person like her who is a true believer in God, it is absolutely impossible to joke about such an oath. Unless she violates her own beliefs, her words are absolutely credible.
"But how can Sir Joan of Arc be sure that the nobleman of Yinggelan is not lying to you? Will he use this trick to lure you into a trap and then take the opportunity to catch you? Then if I go like this, I will just be caught in a trap." Zhu Zhan
He continued to ask questions.
Joan of Arc was silent at first, and then looked at Zhu Zhanyi with firm eyes: "Your Excellency Neptune, you may not know Ying Gelan. Humphrey and John have never gotten along, and they are actually Ying Gelan's friends.
Controllers, if any one of them has a problem, then the other person will become the only person in power of Ingeland, and even further become the king of Ingeland. Humphrey has sent people to negotiate a peace with our prince, I think it is credible.
"
Zhu Zhanzhen smiled coldly: "You think it is credible, do I have to think it is credible? What if the other party has laid a trap and is waiting for you to get into it? You have now beaten back their territory in France.
Quite a few, don’t you think he should hate you deeply?”
This is what countries in Europe are like. You lie to me and I lie to you. They talk about aristocratic culture and chivalry, but in the end few of them mean what they say.
Therefore, Zhu Zhanzhen felt that this message was probably used by Ingeland to confuse Joan of Arc and the French army, hoping to capture the saint who defeated them on the frontal battlefield.
Duke Humphrey's information may be true or false. Zhu Zhanzhen understands that Joan of Arc also understands it.
"You actually know that this may be a trap, so you want me to go too, so that you have at least one ally, right?" Zhu Zhanzhen revealed Joan's true inner thoughts.
Joan of Arc stood there and did not deny Zhu Zhanzhen's words. Zhu Zhanzhen said slightly mockingly: "Ms. Joan of Arc, should I say you are smart?"
"You are not acting in a hurry, but you have already thought about it. You want me, your original enemy, to become your ally and help you fight against Ying Gelan."
"Are you asking if I capture the Duke of Yinggelan alive? With the hatred between Yinggelan and I, I will definitely try my best to attack Yinggelan. By then, Yinggelan will be fighting fiercely with our Ming Dynasty, and naturally
I can't take care of you France anymore. You can take this opportunity to drive away Ingeland's army and regain France's lost territory, right?"
Joan of Arc just continued to look at Zhu Zhanyang, she felt a little guilty, and Zhu Zhanyang heard all her wishful thinking.
"So your so-called oracles and predictions are all false." Zhu Zhanzhen pointed at Joan of Arc with Akka 47.
Joan of Arc, who was still a little guilty just now, but her eyes became extremely firm: "You can insult me, but you can't insult my God." Joan of Arc now put on a posture, even if Zhu Zhanzhen fires, as long as
If someone blasphemes her god, she will kill him in return.
The scene fell into silence again.
It was Joan of Arc who broke the silence this time.
The resolute girl turned around and walked straight out of the camp, holding her own flag.
"Wait a minute, I didn't say you can leave." As Zhu Zhanzhen finished speaking, the soldiers of the Ming army stood in front of Joan.
"Why does Ming Dynasty's Sea King want to kill me? Even if there is a war, it is not against the rules to kill the messenger. Or maybe you don't have such rules."
Zhu Zhanzhen spoke slowly: "Write down all the routes and specific times of the Duke of Ingeland. I will not take action against you in France in the short term."
In the end, Zhu Zhanyi chose the option that seemed better. Although this choice may have half a probability of being a trap, Zhu Zhanzhen was not afraid. As long as it was on the sea and relying on the Ming Dynasty's steam warships, Zhu Zhanzhen
Have absolute confidence.
If the capture of Duke Ingeland needs to be carried out on land this time, Zhu Zhanyi will never agree. The risk is too high and the price of failure is too high. But if it is on the sea, the price of failure is small.
A lot.
And even if it is Ying Gelan's trap, his appearance is something they did not expect. Can they react?
Joan of Arc came back and handed a letter with a written message to Zhu Zhanzhen.
Zhu Zhanzhen took the letter: "You seem to have expected that I would accept your message."
"God has given me guidance. Lord Neptune will save France, and it will definitely come true. God never deceives his most devout believers." Joan of Arc was very sure.
Zhu Zhanzhen's face was expressionless and indifferent.
"God is always high above the world. He never gets involved in filth, and He is never contaminated by mud. When God needs it, His Lamb will exercise authority on His behalf. Those who are dark, dirty, and filthy will always be just
The sins of the lambs, but God never saves His lambs, because God says He loves the world and never shows partiality.”
After saying this, Zhu Zhanzhen's eyes were partly indifferent and partly compassionate. He looked at Joan of Arc and at this Lamb of God. Whether you have really received the oracle or not, what do you believe in?
You will eventually watch you die in the sea of fire in silence. Your devout prayers and your cries being burned in the flames are as sweet to your God's ears.
"Lord Joan of Arc, I will send troops to capture the Duke of Ingeland, but if I know that you have deceived me, whether you were deceived or otherwise, it has nothing to do with me, and I will blame all the crimes on you.
On Your Majesty's head, you and your French people will bear my wrath and pay the due price with your blood and lives."
Zhu Zhanzhen said with extreme indifference. Jeanne looked at him and couldn't help but feel chilled in her heart. Is this oriental man who traveled thousands of miles to seek revenge really the hero who came to save himself and the French people in the oracle?
She seemed to see a bloodthirsty demon in Zhu Zhanzhen. Contrary to his handsome and gentle appearance, he was baring his teeth and claws, and he was extremely thirsty for blood.
