Chapter 342

After Zhu Zhanchen figured out what Lady Catherine had done, he began to plan an attack on France.

He took the map of France drawn by Joan of Arc and said to the subordinates and Joan of Arc present: "When we liberate France, it is absolutely impossible for us to take action against unarmed civilians and devout believers on the road. We have

In principle, we are not going to massacre the French people, but to rescue them from the evil French king."

The subordinates raised their arms and shouted loudly. Joan of Arc shouted excitedly, and the veins in her neck appeared because of the excessive force.

These words are actually meant for Joan of Arc alone. As long as Joan of Arc is the flag, I believe that there will be much less resistance from France.

There are many people who follow Joan of Arc. These people are not fools who earn 80 bucks a day, but are truly devout believers.

Zhu Zhanzhen walked with Joan in the flower garden, picked a flower and played with it in his hand. He said in a rare and gentle way: "Jane, it's time for us to leave for France in a few days. Are you really ready?"

Is it done?"

"Is Your Highness afraid that I will rebel against you when the time comes?"

"To be honest, I have this worry." Zhu Zhanzhen answered Joan of Arc's words without hesitation.

Joan of Arc waved the Ming Dynasty dragon flag in her hand. The girl holding the flag high always used to carry the flag with her, as long as she could put it down.

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. Since it is God's will and Your Highness is the one destined to save France, I will always hold the flag high for Your Highness, as long as Your Highness does not take action against the poor ordinary people of France."

Zhu Zhanzhen nodded and looked directly at Joan with his eyes. The young man was a little embarrassed and hesitant. Joan looked at Zhu Zhanzhen's eyes and blushed slightly.

"Is your shoulder still hurting?"

"Occasionally, new wounds haven't fully healed yet."

"Can you show it to me?"

"ah?"

"Um...I didn't mean that, I meant..."

"kindness……"

Just when Zhu Zhanzhen was explaining, Joan of Arc was already blushing and slowly opened the clothes at her shoulders.

Her collarbone and shoulder shape are very beautiful, and the position of her collarbone reminds Zhu Zhanzhen of the first time Zhu Gaoxu took him to play and drink from the Beauty Cup. He unconsciously thought of how it would be to fill up such a beautiful place with red wine.

What a scene of drunkenness and dreams.

There is no lack of beauty in this world, but there is a lack of eyes to discover beauty.

But such a beautiful shoulder has two scars on both sides, one of which has not been completely healed and is bandaged.

Zhu Zhanzhen stretched out his hand and gently opened the bloody white cloth that was bandaged. It seemed that there was still some pain, and Jeanne's brows furrowed slightly.

Looking at the wound, Zhu Zhanzhen asked: "Does the Holy Knight's holy sword hurt a lot?"

Joan of Arc bit her lip slightly and remained silent in a somewhat aggrieved tone.

"If the wound is not treated properly, it will leave hidden diseases that will cause pain in the future."

"Your Highness, both of my shoulders have been injured. I feel a dull pain occasionally, especially when it rains or the weather is cold. The flags I hold now are much lighter than before. I am afraid that I will not be able to carry heavy objects on my shoulders in the future.

.”

Zhu Zhanzhen reached out again and picked the two most beautiful flowers from the flowers and said: "The pressure on your shoulders is too great, you have to let them rest." The woman carrying France on her shoulders was no longer able to do it.

Burdened.

She reached out and placed a flower on her old wound that had long since healed, and placed another flower next to the new wound that had not yet healed.

The young prince looked at the two flowers blooming on the saint's shoulders with a smile, and said proudly: "This is how a girl's shoulders should be. There is no need to worry about the hatred of family and country, or the righteousness of the saint. Pick it first."

When the breeze rises and the moon shines, the willows cling to the willows and the grass grows and the orioles fly, the girl's shoulders should be filled with beautiful things."

All things in this world are so beautiful, how can a country's hatred and aspirations be placed entirely on the shoulders of a teenage girl?

In the flower garden, the flowers are in full bloom, and the girl with the flowers on her shoulders is the most proud of the world.

Everyone praises the saint she follows, who always brings a symbol of victory. She always holds the flag high, but no one asks her if she is tired.

Zhu Zhanzhen's literary and youthful words made Joan of Arc's girlish feelings hidden in her heart burst out, turning into the fragrance of flowers that filled the yard and was everywhere.

Therefore, it is still beneficial to look at the manager. At least when picking up girls, especially when picking up young literary girls, the effect of learning and applying it is surprisingly good.

Moreover, female literary youths generally don’t read the Internet. If you don’t tell her, she will think that you wrote it yourself. As long as you are thick-skinned enough, everyone is Mr. Chen.

Suddenly, it was like spring all at once. Joan of Arc had never been cared for and cared for so well before, her cheeks turned red, and her little deer bumped into each other.

We can’t say small deer, not big deer, but there are still medium-sized deer.

Everyone wants her to be a saint and to ride a horse and carry a flag to fight on the battlefield, but this Highness just wants her to carry flowers on her shoulders.

"After we liberate the suffering people of France, I will let them erect a statue of you outside the church. How about using the girl with flowers on her shoulders as the theme?"

"Let's carve the flag on it as well. Instead of carving the French flag or the Ming Dynasty dragon flag, just carve the flower flag."

"Flowers represent beauty and peace. May God bless there to be no more wars in the future."

After Zhu Zhanzhen finished speaking, he walked forward on his own. Joan of Arc looked at the back of the young prince with trembling eyes, thinking: "He is indeed sent by God to save us. Flowers and peace will eventually come to the land of France."

, I hope that after me, all French girls can dance with flowers on their heads."

With this thought in mind, the hand holding the flag tightened.

Joan of Arc immediately began to send people to contact her former subordinates in France. They were very happy to know that Joan of Arc was still alive, and Joan of Arc told them that she had received God's will again, and that she would lead the Ming Dynasty's army to save the people in danger.

France, free from the rule of the crazy King of France.

For a time, the public opinion in France about the Ming army was divided into two types. One was based on the Ming Dynasty's defeat of Yinggelan, saying that the Ming army was a vicious army. Artillery fire was everywhere accompanied by the Ming army. The Ming army represented death and killing.

.

Another theory is that the Ming army is a team sent by God to save them from the sea of ​​suffering. The Ming army will never massacre civilians. Only those who resist stubbornly are the real enemies.

Under this public opinion environment, conflicts within France are constantly erupting. The Mad King's madness, the Duke of Burgundy's repeated leaps, and Prince Charles's ineffective rescue of Joan of Arc have all become the content of public criticism.

, especially when Joan of Arc stood on the side of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty army seemed so correct.

Public opinions are mixed, and the rumor that the Mad King was sent by the devil to persecute France has spread like wildfire. Because the French people under the Mad King are living in poverty, all kinds of rumors are flying at this time, and the French court has no idea.

We are unable to suppress it, let alone do things against the will of the people.

Facing the Paris avenues filled with demonstrations and uprisings, the king and the prince could only hide in their palaces and let the army maintain stability.

Paris was previously occupied by the Ingelan. At this time, there were still many Ingelan people, under the instruction of Duke Humphrey, who continued to fan the flames with high remuneration, intending to continue to injure the French royal family in public opinion.

pressure.

As long as you continue to use rubbish information and negative information to stir up public opinion and spread rumors, especially what people like Joan of Arc say who have strong public opinion among the people, then people will not know what to believe and what not to believe, let alone what to believe.

Can't tell what is right and what is wrong.

Blindness and anger will defeat little reason. The French people have lost their remaining trust in the royal family. They do not trust the royal family and the army. The army also begins to lose trust in the rulers. Then the country will be vulnerable.

.

Now a large number of people in France want to welcome Joan of Arc back and let the saint who led France to restore its glory lead the French people.

Before the Ming Dynasty's army even set foot on French soil, it seemed that it had already secretly gathered thousands of troops.



In New Shanghai City, Xiaosheng received Zhu Zhanyi's order and asked the censor of Taidu, the minister of Dali Temple, and the minister of punishment to come to Yinggelan. Although he didn't know what Zhu Zhanyi wanted to do, he still followed the order.

The news was first sent back to Daming.

Shuntianfu, inside the imperial palace.

Zhu Zhanji had just abolished Hu Shanxiang's position as queen and instead appointed Sun Ruowei as queen. Because Hu Shanxiang had no heirs, although this matter was a major event, it did not cause much disturbance in the court.

A woman's happiness is worthless compared to the stability of the country. Hu Shanxiang turned to building a temple, chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha every day, and had nothing to do with the world.

Sun Ruowei was so proud that she had won the position of queen, her legitimate son was the heir apparent, and her mother was honored by the world.

Zhu Zhanji also looked puzzled when he received the message from Zhu Zhanzhen.

Sun Ruowei seemed to be particularly concerned about Zhu Zhanzhen's news. He leaned next to Zhu Zhanji and whispered softly: "Your Majesty, is it the fifth brother who has sent a letter?"

"Well, Zhan Zhen said that he wanted to invite the censor of Taidu, the minister of Dali Temple, and the minister of the Ministry of punishment to go to Yinggelan, but he didn't explain the reason."

Sun Ruowei thought carefully: "Your Majesty, is fifth brother going to be tried by three chambers?"

After Sun Ruowei's reminder, Zhu Zhanji finally remembered that asking these three people to go there seemed to be a real three-chamber trial. He slapped the table and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, this fifth brother, fifth brother, I want to use Daming."

The third court will interrogate the kings of England and France, and it must be the fifth brother."

Sun Ruowei said with blame: "This fifth brother is really hiding things, just like you, Your Majesty. It would be better if we just talk about this matter."

"Okay, okay, okay, send people there, take some craftsmen over, and temporarily build a Ming Dynasty court in Britain and France. If you want to do it, you have to do it all." Zhu Zhanji did not pay special attention to Sun Ruowei's words.

While making arrangements, Zhu Zhanji said excitedly: "Fifth brother did a good job in capturing Yinggelan. They disrespected the Ming Dynasty and insulted our envoys. They need to be taught a lesson. I also want to see these."

Western countries, when everything calms down, I will tour the lands of the Western Federation and see foreign lands."

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. The Western Federation is so far away, and they are all barbarians from outside the region. You are worth a lot of money." Sun Ruowei hurriedly persuaded.

At this time, Sun Ruowei suggested again: "Your Majesty, if we send someone to go this time, it would be best to have a royal family leader. We will also go and see the situation there for you."

Zhu Zhanji pondered for a while and said, "Let's let Qi Zhen go. This kid is as skinny as a monkey. Let him go and see things."

After hearing this, Sun Ruowei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you must not do it. Qi Zhen is only five years old. It would be too difficult for him to go as a child. Moreover, the journey is long and the sea is fierce. I heard that the Western Ocean is extremely deep and the wind and waves are strong."

, some of the warships of the Ming Dynasty have capsized in recent years, and once they capsized, there would be no chance of survival."

"Qi Zhen is my crown prince, so it would be good to let him go and gain experience." Zhu Zhanji obviously didn't care.

But Sun Ruowei began to persuade her sincerely, and let it go if he was annoyed. He said to her: "A loving mother often loses her son. This is a great opportunity for him to see the world, but you won't let him go."

"Your Majesty, let the second brother go."

Sun Ruowei recommended Zhu Zhanju, but Zhu Zhanji gave him a blank look: "You go and lead Qizhen first. People in the harem are not allowed to discuss politics."

The frustrated Sun Ruowei didn't want to offend Zhu Zhanji, so she hurriedly resigned.

However, Sun Ruowei's statement was approved by Zhu Zhanji. This time he had to let the royal family lead the team, and the name was more orthodox. At the same time, he was going to see what was going on in the Western Federation, as his imperial envoy.

"Visiting King Xuanyue."

The fat Zhu Zhanyong came to the front of the hall. As he grew older, the fatter Zhu Zhanyong became more and more similar to Zhu Gaochi back then. Now he looked exactly like the second generation of Zhu Gaochi with flexible legs and feet.

He did not go to join the feudal clan, but stayed in the capital to accompany the Queen Mother. His honest and honest character also won him praise from officials.

"Your Majesty, my younger brother Zhu Zhanyong..."

"No need to be too polite. No need to be too polite."

"I wonder why Brother Huang recruited me?"

Zhu Zhanyong was a little confused. Zhu Zhanji had always been very good to him, and he always had a share of the delicious food offered as tribute from various places. However, he would not be summoned to the main hall on ordinary days. He was just a laid-back prince.

.

Zhu Zhanji walked up to him and patted his belly: "It's time for you to lose weight. My mother has been talking about you for so long."

Zhu Zhanyong looked embarrassed: "Brother Huang, it's not just because of this."

Zhu Zhanji put one hand on his hip and waved one hand. His high-spirited behavior was quite similar to that of Zhu Di. He was always imitating his grandfather.

"Zhan Zhen sent a letter, and Ying Gelan defeated them and captured their royal family alive."

"That's a great joy."

Although neither of them has been to Yinggelan, they are both familiar with the name.

"Yes, and I am planning to send people there as I am preparing to send people there, as my imperial envoy, to see that distant place for me."

The imperial envoy represented the emperor himself outside, but Zhu Zhanyong was not happy when he heard this.

But, does he have the right to refuse?

"Zhan Yong, this time you are going to ride on the [Ming Dynasty Emperor's throne dragon boat] that I just ordered to build. I haven't even sat on it twice."

"Brother, I accept the order." Zhu Zhanyong saluted and accepted the order.

There is a brother between the eldest and the youngest. It is difficult to be a good person in the middle. It is unfortunate but also fortunate. After all, there is someone who can talk to both sides.
