The Dragon That Devours the World
Chapter 64: Coronation of the new king
If history is the starry sky, then there are countless bright stars in the entire Anglo-French Hundred Years War, and many heroes and geniuses have emerged, but all the brilliance that has been condensed in the past 100 years has been lost by the supernova. Covered by the brilliance.
-"Those Things in France"
Jeanna won, no matter how incredible, after only a dozen days after arriving in Orleans, the country girl led her more than 2,000 soldiers, together with the more than 11,000 defenders in Orleans, and moved towards The British army launched a counterattack.
The battle lasted for less than half a day. In the end, the British army lost more than 9,000 men and fled in a rout. The French army to which Jane belonged only lost more than 2,000 men. The French generals had planned to continue the pursuit, but Jeanne thought that this day was Sunday, the Sabbath in Christianity, so they ordered the army not to pursue it.
Taking this opportunity, Jeanne continued to lead her army towards the occupied northern France after the siege of Orleans. Wherever she went, many towns and cities returned, even if they were occasionally blocked by the British army, she was still unafraid and continued. forward.
The British army, which has lost more than 9,000 men, has been hit hard. After all, the entire England has no more than 5 million men. In addition, the French offensive is so fast that it is contrary to the past conservative and stable, so that it cannot be organized effectively. Fight back.
On the way to the north, the French army fought with the British army more than a dozen times, winning streak in a row without a single defeat, and the British army was defeated.
"Paris! Paris!"
The zealous soldiers cheered. The French soldiers who had been defeated by the British army had no fighting spirit. Under the leadership of Jeanna, they regained their fighting spirit. Everyone thought that Jeanna was about to regain the long-lost French capital, even The British are no exception.
The British troops all over France were agitated and assemble desperately in the direction of Paris. The British rule that was originally shrouded in the sky over France like a gloomy dark cloud suddenly became unstable, and it is very likely that this Lorraine village girl will be affected. Give life a posture of overturning.
The French all said that this was the saint sent by God to protect the King; while the British cursed that the French witch who was good at witchcraft.
However, Jeanna in the French army station did not think so.
In the crowded barracks, the cavalry on horses and the infantry with halberds shuttled back and forth. Unlike the hesitation and fear a few months ago, these soldiers are all full of energy and fighting spirit at the moment.
Every day, a large number of Frenchmen come to join the army spontaneously. Everyone realizes that perhaps this defeated war may be about to turn for the better.
At the center of the entire military camp is the military account of the generals protected by the entire army regiment. Within the military account, a young girl who looks youthful and innocent is looking at the map in front of her earnestly.
A country girl, less than eighteen years old, now has a country's army in her hands. It is incredible that even the famous generals must listen to her opinions.
However, no one dared to mock her as a "country village girl" anymore. The whole France was in awe of her, replaced by the "saint".
Although the church hasn't said anything yet, many people have treated Jean Na as a saint in the scriptures.
During the march, there were even some villagers who took their own pots and pans and boldly approached the barracks, begging Jean to touch these things so that they could become sacred objects blessed by the saints, so as to protect themselves.
Of course, Jeanna categorically refused. She even emphasized to everyone in public that she was not a saint, but a Lorraine girl who fought for France. However, this had no effect.
At this moment, the Lorraine girl had to think about where she should go next.
On the map, there are many traces of alteration, and the Paris marked by the red circle is particularly eye-catching. However, looking at the location in the red circle, the girl hesitated.
At this moment, all the British troops in France are gathering towards Paris. It may not be a good choice to attack Paris now.
After a long time, she shook her head and turned to look at another place.
Lance.
That is where the French kings of the past were crowned. Only the king crowned in Reims is the French king recognized by the public.
"Go to Reims first, Paris will call again next time."
Looking at the position of the red circle, the girl had already made a decision in her heart.
...
July 17, 1429.
It has been five months since Jeanne appeared in Chinon, and only three months have passed since Jeanne led the troops to Orleans, but in just these three months, the situation in France has completely changed.
Orleans is relieved, Reims is regained, and many towns are reconciled.
Prince Charlie, who originally occupied only a small portion of the central and eastern parts of France, nearly doubled his own territory in a single jump, completely getting rid of the precarious situation before, and could even consider turning defensive to offensive.
Everyone knows that at the moment the crown prince is most favored by the saint of Orleans, almost what he wants, even the Arthur de Richmond who was jealous by the French court because his brother was close to the British. Because Jeanne recognized his military talents, he was able to rejoin the French army.
However, today's protagonist is not the brilliant Jeanna, but the crown prince Charlie.
"Are there any wrinkles behind me that haven't been leveled?"
Wearing the royal clothes worn by the French kings of all dynasties when they were crowned, Prince Charlie's face was flushed with excitement, and he kept looking left and right in the mirror, or worried that the clothes were not neatly dressed or the rituals were not enough. it is good.
That nervous look is no less than a virgin wedding night.
But also, for the crown prince, the situation today is really something he never dreamed of. He once gritted his teeth and put all his bets on the country girl, but never thought that the return would be. So rich.
Although there are still large tracts of territory occupied by the British, and the Burgundians in southeastern France are also watching, but it doesn't matter, because he can truly be crowned in Reims like a French king at this moment.
In any case, the doubt and lack of confidence in his identity as the King was always the biggest knot in Charlie's heart. His father died for seven years, but he has been unable to be crowned king for a long time. It made him doubt whether he was qualified to be a king. king.
However, as long as they can be crowned in Reims, these don't matter.
The heart thumped and thumped, and he took a deep breath. Someone beside him had already reminded him that the coronation ceremony was about to begin.
After finishing his appearance carefully for the last time, he stepped forward and entered Narance Cathedral.
"Woo..."
Surrounded by waiters beside him, accompanied by a low horn, the two sides of the church were filled with nobles and generals who came to observe the ceremony. On the left are the great nobles from all over the world, and on the right are the famous generals, and the one who let Na was wearing armor and holding a flag, sitting in front of the generals.
And as he walked in, the many eyes looked at him.
At the top of the church, the archbishop stood there, holding the crown in his hands, waiting for his arrival.
After walking to the bishop and talking one by one according to the coronation ceremony, in the end, the archbishop put the crown in his hand on Charlie's head~www.readwn.com~ violent cheers broke out behind him, turned around, and looked at himself. With the many vassals and generals in front of him, the excitement in Charlie's heart is beyond words.
Then, the young girl holding the banner immediately walked out, knelt in front of her, and said happily.
"My king."
The girl who had always insisted that Charlie was the crown prince finally said "king" to Charlie.
Listening to the "king", in a daze, Charlie felt like in a dream, with an inexplicable sense of unreality. He was already a king, and was no longer the prince who had to be frightened at that moment, but the king of France.
Yes, I am the king... I am the king!
Deep self-confidence filled the young king's heart, but he didn't realize it...
"Ho **** ho **** ho ho..."
Inside the church, accompanied by a deep laughter, a black shadow that humans can't see immediately penetrated into his body.
