Crusade against the Pope

Chapter 51: Frankish Old Peasants

After several letters with the same content were written, Isabel stamped them with the royal seal, which was a lion-shaped seal on a capital letter A.

This pattern symbolizes the House of Anjou, which represents royal power in Jerusalem.

Even in the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the House of Anjou had no male descendants, leaving Isabella and her sister alone.

But after all, they are the royal family and have supreme power.

Garys was actually not very happy to do this, but there was nothing he could do... It was only the 12th century in this era, and if he took too big a step, he would easily get into trouble.

Compared with future advancement, the first thing Gailis had to consider was how to keep the small sect he founded alive.

After receiving the letter, the surrounding Frankish villages learned several things.

First of all, those villages that did not pay taxes this year are blessed, because Ahmed, who exploited them in the past, has been caught and is being held in jail, and can no longer use his power to bully others.

Secondly, those villages that paid taxes this year are blessed, because the one who arrested Ahmed is a member of the royal family. After learning about the difficult lives of the people, she decided to refund taxes for everyone!
Finally, it was this royal family member who called on the heads of all villages to come to Ahmed's former house to discuss the specific matters of tax payment this year.

Once these three things spread out, which old Frank farmer in the surrounding area would not be itchy?
Facing the high land tax imposed by the feudal lords, tax resistance is actually a tradition that has long existed in the hearts of medieval peasants. However, most tax resisters may win temporarily but not forever.

Even if they win temporarily, the leader will definitely not have a good ending, which makes many people dare to think but not to do.

But now that a member of the royal family has written a letter with the Anjou coat of arms and sent it to so many villages, the matter has become interesting.

The old farmers themselves knew what kind of military force the Frankish villages would have if they united.

A single village may be weak, but if they unite, they will mean hundreds of young and strong men.

This number was already quite promising in the early and middle Middle Ages.

They once lacked righteousness, but the letter in their hands was the righteousness of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

They once lacked weapons, but the Ahmed family's accumulation over the years was free.

In addition, what happened in Scar Village not long ago has spread to nearby villages, so everyone actually has an idea of ​​what happened.

Opportunities are rare and can never come back. With a simple hatred for Ahmed, many people in the village wanted to run to the prison where Ahmed was imprisoned and spit at the bastard.

……

Ahmed's house is in a typical Middle Eastern style. While requiring a certain level of military defense capabilities, it emphasizes the transparency of the space.

The comfort of the courtyard is highly valued. After all, the weather is so hot that staying in the house during the day feels like being in an oven.

On the contrary, the courtyard with a slight cool breeze, a pergola and green shade makes people feel more comfortable.

When the villagers from the surrounding villages, led by the young man from Monterey Village, entered Ahmed's mansion on the agreed day, they couldn't help but marvel at it.

This wealthy family really knows how to enjoy life!
In the courtyard, Gailis sat on a recliner, holding a seal ring in his hand, waiting for a long time. At this moment, his external identity was Isabel's full-powered agent.

As for Isabel, she was dressed like a teenager, sitting at a table nearby, ready to record the key points of the meeting.

The heads of each village, that is, the village chiefs, couldn't help but whisper a few words to each other after seeing Gailis.

The rumors about Garys had actually spread among them over the past few days.

There is a saying that the people in the Skar village were about to be killed by the Bedouins, but suddenly a saint appeared, holding two swords, and chased the Bedouins on horseback, hacking them wildly. He ran faster on two legs than on four legs, and killed them all, leaving a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Another saying is that Gairis is the second son of God. When he heard that the "Leper King" in Jerusalem had died, he came to support the royal family in order to fight against the pagan king Saladin.

Of course, under the testimony of the villagers in Monterey Village, they also heard that Gellis could not only kill more than a dozen people in an instant, but also curse others to purgatory. Anyone who was considered evil by Gellis would not be able to go to heaven in the afterlife.

This is a truly powerful person with magical powers!
It was as if because of the Messiah's previous experience, God had learned a lesson, refined his tactics, changed the track, and sent someone who was particularly capable.

This was the case with the old peasants in the Middle Ages. They had their own rustic understanding of various mythological stories. In their minds, it was hard to say what the Trinity was.

They also made blasphemous speculations about the relationship between John the Carpenter and the Virgin Mary and Jehovah.

You should know that the most respectable church in the surrounding area is in the village of Skar, and the priests of that church have been chopped into pieces by the Bedouins.

Apart from the priest who was cut into pieces, there was not even one person nearby who had read the Bible seriously.

Isn't it just that Garys talked nonsense and people around him spread it.

Garris was not rumored to have a strange angel appearance with three heads and six arms, a halo on his head, and wings on his back. This is because people did not spread the rumors often enough and were careful with their words.

Therefore, among these village leaders, except for Cardoso, the other four could not help but reveal disappointment when they saw Gairis.

Compared to the rumors about him, Gillis's appearance was too ordinary. He looked like a Frank like them, with a head on two shoulders, nothing special.

At best, he is tall and handsome, and looks like a scholar.

However, despite their disappointment, the story about Garys being stabbed to death but then meeting his Father in heaven and returning to the world was widely circulated among them.

Even the first thing these people said was, "Sir, can you take off your clothes so I can touch the stigmata on your body?"

The first thing he said when they met was to ask him to take off his clothes, just to touch the terrible scar on Garys' chest, to make sure that Garys had indeed resurrected from the dead...

Although he could understand the thoughts of these old farmers, it was still difficult for Garys to maintain his expression.

As for Isabel on the side, she simply let out a crisp laugh.

　This is the second update. The extra update for the 550 monthly tickets will be postponed to tomorrow.
