After being stationed in the army for two months, Fu Yuan felt that the Spanish army commanders were all insane.

After the first month that every unit under his command had been given the opportunity to go ashore to breathe, he tried to get his subordinates to gradually allow the troops to take turns on leave in units of 100 households and enter Lisbon.

No general would dare to let his troops roar ashore at the end of the voyage, unless they were about to embark on the battlefield.

Life at sea was already very depressing, eleven or twelve people were crammed into the air filthy cabin, not because the space on the ship was not enough and the cabin had to be narrow, but because the cabin was too big and useless, and the sailor's bed had to be so small that it could reach the top of the head, so as to ensure that the sailors on the bed would not fall down when the battleship was bumpy.

When you can't take a bath for two months and are short of fresh water, drinking fresh water distilled by seawater for a few days will consume a lot of wood, not to mention that you can only quench your thirst and lack minerals, and people will start to lose their hair; The cook makes the fish delicious in a different way, but in the end it is still not as good as on the shore, and the island-like space will make the most well-behaved flag soldier temperament become irritable, and the slightest little thing will ignite everything.

It's normal for people to fight while sailing, and the longer the voyage, the easier it is to fight; The most detached bloodshed in the army occurred under the command of Yuan Zizhang, the captain of the detachment under Fu Yuan, who led the fleet from Changsheng to sail around the New World to the Gulf of Mexico.

The reason is funny and cruel, just because the sprouts he planted on the deck were overturned by a wave of the sea.

That was the straw that broke the camel's back.

The sea is cannibalistic.

Fu Yuan didn't think that Lisbon was their battlefield, so he could only let the flag army land little by little, reacquaint themselves with the feeling of being on the ground, let them eat fresh food, and then enter the city little by little.

As the garrison became longer, the Ming army inevitably had to intersect with the Spanish soldiers, and they were jealous and flattered...... The Spanish legionnaires were generally owed three to six months' salaries, but they had to raise food and wine for the Ming army in various villages on the outskirts of the country, and at the end they had to drive a small donkey cart to deliver it to the Ming army.

The Spanish legionnaires, on the other hand, would buy things from the Ming generals.

For example, an infantry corps commander under the Duke of Alva approached Yuan Zizhang, the commander of the detachment, and brought a translator hired from Seville to express in broken Chinese a request to buy two rolls of wire, and after being refused, he still insisted on buying the used wooden fences and wires on the shore after the departure of their fleet.

Anyone can make iron wire, Spain is no exception, nothing more than no wire drawing machine needs to be piled up by manpower, the Spanish army commander just hopes to buy them at a relatively low price, because the price of Da Ming is lower in comparison; Any competent officer who saw the way the Ming army used the barbed wire of the wooden fence would recognize the benefits of this thing.

Of course, it is not universally used, but in times of crisis, in narrow areas, it can briefly and effectively delay the enemy's attack.

Isn't this a neuropathy?

In a country like Daming, the cost of any piece of equipment needs to be considered in the manufacture and use, and these wires are no exception...... Who said that it can be sold after use, it can be used for a second time, three times, even if it can't be used, it can be used again when scrap iron is melted.

Although the Ming army was invited by Philip to garrison Lisbon, the three detachments sailed farther and farther in the past two months, and after mapping the west coast of the peninsula, the two thousand fleets led by Yuan Zizhang, the commander of the detachment, entered the Bay of Biscay in the north, connected with the coastal defense area of Chen Jiujing's department, and landed on the land belonging to France.

The ships arrived at the fortress at the mouth of the river, and the citizens of Bordeaux warmly welcomed the Ming army into the town.

"General Yuan, in Xia Chen Jiujing, with your lonely heart hanging overseas when you came to me, there is a bottom."

Chen Jiujing led a group of generals of the Baishan Battalion, the Military Academy of the Sixth Battalion of Xiyong, and more than 20 nobles from Bordeaux to receive them at the city gate, and personally galloped twelve miles to welcome Yuan Zizhang. The emotions in my heart are also as I said, watching the majestic Beiyang Army march forward with the military music in hand, extremely down-to-earth.

"If you don't have an inch, General Chen doesn't have to be polite."

Yuan Zizhang turned over and dismounted and saluted, maintaining respect for Chen Jiujing beyond his official position, and then said: "Fu Shuai, I will lead thousands of troops to come, first, to survey the battlefield terrain for the vanguard army, and secondly, to see if General Chen has anything to help, but I can do my best." ”

Chen Jiujing knew that Yuan Zizhang was born as a martial artist, graduated from the martial arts hall and paid homage to the generals, and crossed to the East to catch up with the border confrontation at the end of the Second War in the Ming and Western ...... Say as you go. ”

Chen Jiujing turned over and sent his subordinates to lead the way, and when Yuan Zizhang got on the horse, he explained: "At the order of my father, I came here to garrison, at first it was just to find out the situation, and I didn't contribute much to join the two factions in the war. ”

"I have no back-up of soldiers and horses, and I have no right to mobilize the army of Daming Port in the west, but with a slight advantage on the sea and the high value of the country's merchants, I hired outlaws from the west to fill the army, so as to ensure that the people and people within a radius of 500 miles from Bocheng can enjoy peace and tranquility."

Chen Jiujing applauded on the horse and said, "Therefore, whether it is a general or a Fu Shuai, it is the right time to come." ”

In Yuan Zizhang's eyes, the situation in Bordeaux was probably even worse than Chen Jiujing said, and as he passed by both sides of the road, he could see some obviously wounded Jurchens or Koreans directing local farmers to work in the fields in the distance; Even the soldiers under his command who greeted Chen Jiujing were wearing Western armor that was rusty and dented.

Coupled with the collapse of the estuary fortress and the occasional castle with traces of artillery bombardment as far as the eye can see, it is obvious that this is a battlefield at first glance.

As if sensing that these things attracted Yuan Zizhang's attention, Chen Jiujing smiled lightly: "General, don't think too much, the traces here were all laid down by Chen Mou's army at the beginning of his arrival, and the fortress was blown up when I attacked, and I didn't plan to repair it at that time." ”

"The army of King Francis has never been here, and its forces have only recently been repelled by us as far north as the Dordogne, but they have been slower lately, perhaps to attack Spain."

Approaching the gate of Bordeaux, Yuan Zizhang saw a cavalry team wearing a full set of Western plate armor and heavy armor, some of them held huge spears, some used chain hammers and gourds and other heavy soldiers, Chen Jiujing said to him: "That's Kangguru's Jurchen horse team, the division of the Wang army is an opportunity for Pau, I am planning to attack to the north and cross another river in the north...... What is Fu Shuai's plan? ”

"A thousand miles."

Yuan Zizhang looked at the horse team, said a number, and said: "From Pau, from the northwest port, the distance from Paris is a thousand miles. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at the Beiyang infantry marching in line on the official road beside him, and said, "Break through in depth, and the soldiers will come to the city." ”
