"After that, Jessica also participated in a few small battles, but didn't make much money." Zhu Wenkui said.
"His family was originally a noble, but by this generation, only the village territory was left. In fact, it was a village chief-level family that could not withstand too much trouble. The losses caused by several failed investments have never been recovered. , causing life to be very tight.”
"It doesn't seem to be a village yet." Jeanne said: "The village where he lives is crowded with two lords. In fact, he is at most half the village chief."
"That's not as good as Mr. Dark." Guo Kang thought for a while and compared.
"Definitely not as good as that." Zhu Wenkui asserted: "Dark's family is the head of the entire village, and it's a French village. I'm afraid the Jessica family can't compare."
"I see..." Guo Kang nodded and looked at Jeanne again.
Even in his world, there were many rumors about Jeanne's true identity. Some people think she is the illegitimate daughter of the old king; some think she is the daughter of a great noble; others simply believe that there is no single "Jeanna", but that the French royal family has compiled the deeds of different people and added to it. Made it up.
——France has always had a tradition of folk saints appearing in critical moments. Although it may not have any practical effect, the publicity effect has always been very good. By combining the deeds of the saints and adding some achievements actually commanded by the kingdom's military generals, you can create a good image.
In fact, even if she is really the daughter of the Dalke family, she is not an ordinary village girl. The in-laws of the Dahlke family were priests and rented the lord's castle, which meant that his daughter did have access to cultural knowledge and military training.
Guo Kang thinks that the term "Rangna Village Girl" is probably the same as "Zhuge Village Man". It does not mean that Zhuge Liang is really an ordinary farmer, but it is a way of attacking others.
But in Captain Jessica's case, if he doesn't work hard enough, he might really become a villager...
"So after that, he was recruited by you and came here?"
"Yes." Zhu Wenkui said.
"Then you don't have to worry. Sometimes, the performance during the defeat can better reflect the level of a person." Guo Kang pointed out: "I suffer defeats every once in a while, but I can get away with it; I lose money every time, but I can still come back." Pull a team together. From this aspect, this person still has some abilities."
"I hope so." Zhu Wenkui sighed pessimistically: "Anyway, he is the only one who has some hope now. He is really capable. His father must be eager to make him a general. After all, he doesn't want to drag a cannon around every day."
"Can the King of Wu make himself a general?" Guo Kang thought of a procedural issue: "I'm not familiar with the system of the Ming Dynasty."
"It's all about playing house. What's the point?" Zhu Wenkui seemed to have given up on himself: "Does he still want to imitate Li Guang and go to the Ming Dynasty court to have him be made a marquis?"
"All right……"
"Let him cooperate with my father. Otherwise, who else can be sealed?" Zhu Wenkui waved his hand: "The second best fighter in our 'team' is already Nurhachi..."
"Since we all know it's just playing house, why not just make Nurhaci a general." Jeanna said half-sarcastically.
"Hey, it's not impossible." Zhu Wenkui stepped forward and patted Nurhachi, who had just been kicked off by everyone and was still lying on the ground staring at the shield car.
"Did you hear that? We must protect the Ming Dynasty. Next time I will advise my father and recommend you as a general." He had a frustrated expression on his face, but he was talking seriously.
"Hmph!" Nurhaci replied.
Seeing that Zhu Wenkui had broken the jar, Guo Kang quickly went to comfort him and told him not to worry.
"Look at the bright side, you are not just playing house." He advised: "Although you are running away, you should at least let Europeans see the world - no one came here in the Tang Dynasty. This is possible It’s also a cultural influence.”
"It's a bit difficult to have the influence of the Tang Dynasty. I don't even expect the Ming Dynasty to reach that level of prestige." Zhu Wenkui could only smile bitterly: "And don't forget, it's not just the Tang Dynasty that is ahead. There is also a Where’s the Yuan Dynasty?”
"Since Taizu recognized the Yuan Dynasty back then, he regarded it as a goal and asked us to eliminate the remaining power of the Yuan Dynasty and even surpass it one day. But now..." He said helplessly: "Although many people on our side do not I like Yuan Dynasty, but to be honest, he is really...big."
"The entire Ming Dynasty has not yet surpassed the territory of the Yuan Dynasty. Counting vassals like the Ilkhanate, it is even further behind. As you just said, force is the basis for cultural influence. One day we can If you surpass him, let’s talk about this.”
"Well, you don't need to be so pessimistic. I think the Ming Dynasty is still very famous at least in the sea." Guo Kang said.
He thought about Tang and Yuan for a while, then reminded: "And you forgot, there is Song Dynasty between them. So there is no need to belittle oneself. No matter what, the Ming Dynasty is at least better than the Song Dynasty, right?"
"..."
The Zhu brothers and sisters fell into silence. Even Nurhachi stopped calling.
Guo Kang realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly changed the subject by joking.
"Well...it will take a while to prepare the artillery. Let's go take a look over there first." He quickly pointed to the back, where someone was running horses and shooting arrows: "Just in time, someone should be training now."
After saying that, he quickly pulled the two of them over.
