Chapter 1828： Law-abiding victims

But in fact, the Ming Dynasty was already native, and there was no need to use the port on the island. This principle is actually aimed at Portugal.

However, this "wartime neutrality" principle sounds so reasonable, so that you can find no flaws, it is shameless ...

Of course, Marin cannot be blamed for doing so. Because, nominally, Dongfan Island is now a territory of Daming. If you really want to dock the Portuguese warships to repair ships or replenish supplies, for Daming, this is no different from "communicating the enemy". Therefore, Marin is not afraid of accusations from Portugal.

Besides, Marin and the Portuguese were inconsistent with each other. Everyone knows. It's just that everyone seems to follow the rules.

If enough sailors can be recruited from England and the North American shipyard can build enough warships, Marin wants to compete with the Portuguese at sea.

However, Marin will certainly not take the lead in finding differences. Because there is still a French eye on the edge, Marin does not want to be distracted to engage in Portugal. It is good to wait until the threat of France is resolved, and then go to fight with Portugal, and then grab a gold producing place in South Africa ...

At this time, France, who was terrified by Marin, was also having a shocking event-360,000 victims surrounded the city of Paris ...

Incited by spies from the North Sea, more than 300,000 disaster victims in the northeastern and eastern borders of the French kingdom who were not loan sharks last year lost their reliance on survival after losing land.

Among them, many peasants chose to compromise and agreed to re-servant the French nobles who had loan sharks. But there are also many French farmers who have passed the free life and are reluctant to become serfs for the nobles who lend money.

Of course, this is not just because these farmers like freedom, but they have seen through the faces of the noble sharks whose designs frame them. People who have already suffered a loss, how can they believe those unscrupulous nobles who gave them "profitable" loan sharks and repaid them with steamed seeds?

That is to say, these French peasants who refused to be serfs were not completely unwilling to be serfs, but they dared not be serfs for the noble pit nobles. The ghost knows what other ways the unscrupulous nobles will torture them in the future? If you have already suffered a loss, you should try to avoid being fooled again. Only some cowardly and timid peasants chose to be serfs for the nobles.

The remaining about 360,000 pitted peasants, incited by the Beihai spies, quietly left their hometowns in batches in the name of "going to beg for life" to avoid being intercepted by the unscrupulous nobles.

Then, these people "turned zeros into integers" and gradually concentrated outside Paris ...

French King Francois I and his ministers were taken aback, thinking that these farmers were ready to mobilize soldiers to suppress the rebellion.

But what they did not expect was that the victims gathered outside Paris did not behave in an unruly manner. Even, none of these victims entered the city of Paris, but camped and settled outside the city of Paris like a military. Then, a group of top men were selected, and in the name of "petition", they entered the city and asked His Majesty the King for relief ...

...

I heard that this group of victims did not come to rebel, but stayed outside the city very well. The young Francois I was very happy at first, thinking that under his rule, the quality of the French became very high. To this end, he was dark.

But after the "old rivers and lakes" of the Earl of Durte told him his concerns, Francois I's face finally changed ...

360,000 victims! Even if each victim consumes only 0.1 pounds of grain per day, it will consume 36,000 pounds of grain per day. But now is exactly the end of the year, and the autumn harvest in October of the following year, at least 10 months to wait. Even if only 36,000 pounds of grain are consumed every day (more than that), 10 million pounds of grain are needed for 300 days in 10 months. According to the price of 1.2 pounds of rye in France for one pound of rye, it would cost 10.8 million pounds of grain and a huge value of 216,000 gold coins ...

If it is a normal year, although this cost a lot, it will not make the strong French kingdom feel difficult.

The problem is that France has just played in the Kingdom of Naples in Italy and Spain, and has spent a lot of money. Then, because of the outbreak of smallpox in the southern region, it caused the economic collapse of the economically prosperous southern coast, and also let the Paris court put a lot of money to prevent and isolate the smallpox patients in the south ...

Lin Lin came down, the French kingdom has already been overspending heavily this year. Where can we find money to support these victims?

If it is an old king who has been in power for many years, such as Louis XII, it is estimated that they are going to drive out these victims, and even plan to slaughter a batch.

The problem is that François I only came to the throne early in the year, and his prestige was seriously insufficient. Moreover, he has never been a prince, and his foundation in North Korea is extremely weak. His wife, Queen Claude, had little prestige and ability to help him in this matter.

Of course, if these 360,000 victims choose to rebel from the start, even if the prestige is not enough, Francois I can mobilize the whole country to suppress and slaughter these victims. After all, he stands on the right side and is not afraid of criticism.

What made François I want to vomit blood was that this group of victims was extremely well behaved, but they gathered outside the city of Paris, neither rebellious nor disturbing the people, but sent representatives to the city to ask François I for food relief ...

...

In the face of such honest victims who understand the rules, Francois I was really helpless. The other party's request was very reasonable and reasonable, and there was no trace of the problem. Moreover, when describing the crimes of the blackhearted nobles in the disaster areas in the northeast and the east, people used their words very cautiously, and did not have inappropriate words that were hostile to the entire noble class. It makes people unable to find fault ...

"Otherwise, Your Majesty, we will send people to instigate those victims to launch a rebellion? As long as they initiate a rebellion, we will be able to resolve them. The worst, and they will drive them away ..." Count Durte suggested.

Francois I of the Six Gods and No Lord naturally adopted it, and then sent a lot of professional scouts, mixed into the refugee camps outside Paris, and confuse those victims to launch a rebellion ...

But what the professional court scouts did not expect was that the refugee camps outside the city were too orderly. Under the management of the North Sea spies, these refugee camps are organized like military camps, and prestigious managers are also arranged in each camp to avoid chaos in the refugee camps. Moreover, the victims also lived together according to their place of origin, and did not live in disorder. Therefore, most of the refugees in the camp know each other. Strangers mixed in, naturally glaring ...

Then, not long after the elite agents of these courts mixed in, they were screened out with the help of the victims by the dutiful battalion divisions, and the victims were deported.

Now Francois I and his close ministers were dumbfounded-Nima, is this still the victims? Actually more difficult to penetrate than the enemy army?
