Chapter 2712: South of France

The old noble finally made up his mind: "Louis neither respects the rights of nobles, nor do I need to respect him. Of course, I don't respect him, but you must ensure the integrity of the Kingdom of France!"

Lieutenant General Biert Balzac immediately said: "I can take you to see Marshal Raimondo Montecuccoli, do you dare to go?"

Earl De Richard said hesitantly: "You dare to come, why don't I dare to go!"

The old aristocrat left the fort with a majestic aristocratic guard of honor, and went to meet Marshal Raimondo Montecuccoli with Lieutenant General Biert Balzac.

Aristocrats to nobles, with tears in their eyes!

Only nobles can communicate with nobles. The two nobles signed a temporary peace treaty on behalf of their respective forces. There are three main clauses:

1. The territory of Earl de Richard remains neutral and will not help each other. The Shenluo Empire respects the earl's right to rule and shall not interfere in the internal affairs of the earl's territory.

2. The Shinra army has the right to pass freely in the territory of Earl de Richard, but they are not allowed to enter the city. At the same time, when the French royal army comes, they must help Earl de Richard resist. into an alliance.

3. Once the war subsides, the Shinra Army must withdraw from all French lands.

Earl de Richard also agreed to act as a lobbyist for the Shinra Army, lobbying nobles from all over France to sign similar peace treaties.

Everyone was satisfied, and when the earl said goodbye, the old marshal gave him a gift of a carriage, and asked him to go back and see.

Looking back, Earl de Richard found that the box in the carriage contained 100,000 Chinese silver dollars and Austrian financial securities worth 50,000 silver dollars. There was a gold note inside, saying: "A gift from the emperor!"

Well, Yan Changwu has the style of the ancient Arabian hero Saladin, and he is willing to give money!

But it solved the urgent need of Earl de Richard's being forced to pay his debts, and now he is excited.

Cannibalism is soft-spoken and short-tempered. For the benefit of the nobles, Earl de Richard threw out his old face and went everywhere to lobby nobles from all over the south of France.

At this time, France is in an era where the old and the new are changing. The king's control power has greatly increased, and the aristocracy continues to weaken, but they still have influence.

Now there is a life-saving straw stretched out in front of them, even if there are devils and heretics on the other side of the straw, the French nobles must seize it.

After all, Louis XIV's father, Louis XIII, even stood on the Protestant side to oppose the Catholic brothers for his own benefit. The king's example is the first, and we are not too much!

Earl de Richard acted as the vanguard of the Shinra Army. Wherever he went, he called out to surrender. Those who hesitated, the old earl said: "If I surrender, let alone you wait?"

He also showed the peace treaty between him and Marshal Raimondo Montecuccoli of the Shenluo Army. Seeing the seal and signature of the great nobleman shining on the treaty, he naturally surrendered to the wind and never killed a big one.

It's exactly: "Just because a general fell in love with him, Liancheng surrendered without hesitation."

The aristocrats from all over southern France have suffered from Louis for a long time, but they dare not resist because of the strength of the Louis family. Now that they have the support of the Shenluo army, they hit it off and declared their betrayal immediately!

They were against Louis, but not against France, in order to conceal the fact of their own independence.

What is nobility?

Aristocrats are a noble life. In Europe, the king is the biggest aristocrat, and he is not out of the category of aristocracy, unlike the Chinese emperor whose status is higher than that of aristocrats.

Kings and nobles lived in warm and comfortable palaces and manors, drank fine wine, gnawed chicken legs, commanded and humiliated the untouchables at their feet at will.

When the royal power is strengthened, the nobles are miserable, have no money and power, cannot maintain the decent life before, and have no dignity. Is this still a noble?

The aristocrats announced the overthrow of the royal government and the implementation of aristocratic autonomy. They went their own way and restored the previous aristocratic rule, that is, the right to tax exemption, the right to appoint officials in the territory, the right to finance, the right to collect taxes, and military power. Many were ceded to the king.

In this counterattack by the nobles, the nobles have greatly restored their previous power, and some nobles have even restored the "right of the first night", that is, the right to first-hand development of all virgins in the territory... See this article Right, everyone wants to be an aristocrat, don't they?

Naturally, the French people must be dissatisfied when the nobles in the south of France organized a return mission, but the royal army was weak and the nobles had the upper hand. Besides, they also had the help of the Shinra Army.

The citizens of the city of Nice on the coast of southern France were dissatisfied with the restoration of the nobles. They expelled the local lord, Viscount de Martin.

Hey, this is the lunatic released from the madhouse, and let the mouse enter the rice tank.

The actions of the Japanese and the Annan people were so effective, the citizens of Nice City saw the devastated city, and there was no grass in it, and they regretted it!

As soon as this news got out, the people everywhere were not so cold about the restoration of the nobles' rule.

There are also royal troops stationed in various places. The nobles often persuade them to surrender first, and send them out of the country if they fail. Try not to start wars. The French do not fight the French.

There are also many nobles in the king's army, who broke their arms and tendons, and then surrendered or left wisely. The situation in southern France is completely corrupt for the Kingdom of France!

Let's say that the previous good news turned into an emergency document, and flew to Paris like a snowflake, which made Louis XIV furious!

One hundred thousand royal troops were wiped out, which made him feel extremely difficult.

France is not as rich as the South China Empire. Louis XIV managed to form a 400,000 royal army without affecting his extravagant life. A quarter went in one fell swoop.

To form an army of one hundred thousand more, you have to cut down on food and clothing, but without dances and banquets, how can the king be decent?

He was so angry that he scolded Lieutenant General Biert Balzac for his crimes. Just as he was thinking about countermeasures, Count de Richard's letter of proposal was delivered to him.

"God's to God, the king's to the king, and the noble's to the noble!" The words floated before his eyes.

Louis XIV gasped, this is to shake his rule!

At first, he wanted to be empty-handed, and ordered the southern French forces to suppress the rebellion, but soon he received news that all the nobles in the south unanimously opposed him.

Suddenly he felt that the wine he drank was sour, the meat was hard, Mrs. Montespan's waist was not thin, and Prince Condé looked at him with dangerous eyes!

In fact~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the wine is a good cognac wine, the meat is fresh and tender veal, Mrs. Montespan is still a small waist, Prince Condé didn't even lift his head, how could he see him What about eyes?

Without it, the king would suffer from paranoia!

At the court meeting, the courtiers quarreled.

Foreign Minister Leona, Navy Minister of State Colbert, and military leaders Rufoy and Turenne all believe that this trend cannot last long, and troops must be dispatched as soon as possible to severely suppress the disobedience of the nobles!

In the current struggle between the king and the nobles, the king has the upper hand, but is disturbed by the Shenluo Kingdom. If it returns to the previous situation where the nobles were separated, the king may be fine. They are royalists who are bad and bad.

Lu Fuwa, Minister of State for the Army, rejected all opinions. He believed: "Paris is important. Now our country has 100,000 troops to defend Paris. On the coast from Cherbourg to Brest, we have established an 'Atlantic Line of Defense' with 200,000 troops to prevent China from attacking. If these forces are withdrawn, Paris will be in danger!"

Now the monarchs and ministers are in a dilemma! 2084/10092428
