Chapter 356: Brother
Brag unblushingly. ”
After the envoy left, Chen Jiujing was still full of ridicule about this kind of truce, and sent someone to let Huang Xi, who had been waiting for a long time, come over, causing Marguerite to ask: "Are you really not afraid that the other two troops will come together to besiege Bordeaux?" ”
This made Chen Jiujing extremely surprised: "Are you afraid? I'm afraid you were so calm just now. ”
"Pretended." Marguerite was quite frank, and said with a smile: "It is our habit to maintain dignity even in defeated negotiations, and I don't want to be besieged by three troops in the small city of Bordeaux, but what can I do?" It's coming. ”
That's the idea for a long time.
"Don't worry, those two troops won't come, at most two partial divisions will come, and they will both come, don't you care about the rebellion in other places?"
Chen Jiujing only had time to comfort Margaret like this, and Huang Xi, who had been waiting on the street for a long time, had already reported to the door, hugged his fists and said: "General, I received the baggage sent by the French at the mouth of the river north of the city. ”
"What are they?"
Interestingly, Chen Jiujing fought against the Belon here, but the city of La Rochelle in the north, which was also the seaport of France, brought him baggage, but did not join the rebellion against the royal family.
"Two hundred arquebuses, one Fran cannon, one hundred and twenty swords, three hundred and sixty spearheads and hammers, five large barrels of gunpowder, and more than two thousand nails, some of which were prepared by the Protestants of England to the Huguenots of La Rochelle, and some of which were prepared by the people of La Rochelle themselves, but because their army was not supported by the majority, they sent their weapons to us."
"And the three bags of gold that the Huguenots of La Rochelle put together, said to have been used to get the king of Navarre to pay the mercenaries." Huang Xi said and said to Chen Jiujing: "They didn't know that King Navarre was not in Bordeaux, so they sent the money. ”
"France is really lively."
It sounded like Marguerite didn't like the support from La Rochelle, and she didn't even know where she standed, so she just complained to Chen Jiujing: "This is obviously France, but you can see the armies of seven or eight countries here." ”
Only seven or eight?
Chen Jiujing pursed his lips and did not answer.
I'm afraid to be able to say this, Margaret didn't count his people.
The composition of the mixed force under his command alone was enough for the number Margaret had said.
He only reassured: "It doesn't matter, soon England will have no strength to take care of overseas affairs." ”
Marguerite slowly shook her head and got up, she didn't know much about England, only that it had always been the enemy of France, she invited Chen Jiujing and said, "I'm going to see Henry, is the general coming together?" ”
"Uh......"
Chen Jiujing, who had always been calm and composed, paused for a moment before looking in Huang Xi's direction and said to Margaret: "I still have some military affairs to discuss with General Huang, you go first, I will try to see him after the matter is dealt with." ”
"Well, if he wakes up and sees you, he will be very happy, I'll go first."
After Margaret left, Huang Xi looked confused and asked cautiously, "What does the general want to discuss with the lowly position?" ”
He really didn't remember what Chen Jiujing had told him.
Only Chen Jiujing shook his head silently, which made him not know what to say, and the embarrassment of dead silence lasted for a long time, only to see Chen Jiujing raise his head again and say: "Let's go, order someone to lead the horse, let's go out of the city to the frontline position to see, the Xiyong battalion has no ability in the defense of the position." ”
This was of course only an excuse, and although it was true that the Spanish soldier was not accustomed to defending the trenches, he did not have to patrol the line now.
He just didn't know how, like Margaret, would be as natural as his meeting with Bourbon Henry as if it weren't a very problematic arrangement.
The problem is big!
Chen Jiujing is now like a child who has made a mistake and does not dare to see Henry, since the patient who was 'paralyzed in bed' woke up, his whole person was a little wrong.
Because he felt that he had indeed made a mistake.
Outside the stinking trenches outside Bordeaux, Chen Jiujing stared at the trenches with a frown and muttered, "If it stinks, pour it elsewhere...... Kanguru. ”
He turned to Kanguru, who was also riding a horse, and asked, "What do you think of sending Navarra and Margo to Bilbao now?" No, they should have been sent to Cahors City. ”
Delivered to Cahors City?
Kangguru pouted, "It's nothing to send the queen back, but that little thing is injured and can't go that far." As for the quacks under his command, except for the Bordeaux gates...... Oh! Is the general trying to kill that little thing? ”
The cuirass of the general of the Baishan battalion was beaten to the sky, his big eyes widened, and he wrinkled the horizontal flesh with a sense of strength on his face and said firmly: "Wrap it on me, and teach him to break his neck tonight!" ”
"I can't do it! I didn't want him to die. ”
Chen Jiujing sighed, helpless, didn't know how to clearly express what he thought to his subordinates, so he had to wave his hand and said: "You're right, Henry's physical condition can't travel long distances, and he will die for hundreds of miles." ”
In fact, it is not a question of how far the march is, the key is that no one in the Ming army trusted European doctors, especially Chen Jiujing.
He saw that Henry Bourbon was dying, but the gang found him a priest to chant a spell in his ear...... Not to mention that Zhu Youke was removed in the fifth year of Longqing, even if it was not removed, Dr. Zhu Youke still had to wait for the patient to be awake before he could affect the patient's aura and psychology.
Not to mention that this is a golden trauma, and it is not a strange terminal illness with no symptoms, so it can't be celebrated.
"Why do you always call him a little thing, Henry has to be forty or fifty years old, even if he wants to call something unpleasant, he should be called an old thing, right?" Chen Jiujing pursed his lips and said, "At his age, it is rare that his body is still very strong. ”
"Forty or fifty? His people told me he was only twenty-seven. ”
Chen Jiujing blinked, remembering that Navarre's beard and hair were all black, and said, "I'm too anxious to look at it." ”
To be precise, it was brown, but Chen Jiujing didn't bother to analyze what color other people's hair was...... It's going to be dark sooner or later anyway.
When he saved people, he didn't think so much, he just felt that since Navarre said that 'the kingdom is a refuge for Margo and her loved ones', he should also give Navarre shelter, but now Henry woke up and was delicate.
He knew very well in his heart that he had done something bad and ashamed to Henry Bourbon.
What will they get when they meet? Bourbon Henry drew his sword and rushed at him, should he let him kill him, or should he let go of his gun to kill him?
Rather than so, it is better not to see.
For the time being, apart from avoiding it, Chen Jiujing couldn't think of a solution.
The situation of the defensive line is not good.
The three regiments of the Xiyong Battalion, who were stationed in the trenches, were not accustomed to staying in the trenches, and they spread beige tents all over the city, and although they tried very hard to arrange stakes and traps, and build small watchtowers, they were not obedient.
They were not accustomed to fighting as the Ming army demanded, and only when Chen Jiu was reprimanded for inspecting the defensive line would they send a few companies into the trenches.
However, Chen Jiujing couldn't move them for the time being, but Salazar, the general of the second battalion who had the most trouble, Chen Jiujing had already planned to send him back to Spain after Billund ended the siege.
But sometimes, the more you run away from something, the sooner something will come to you.
When he returned to the governor's palace in the city, and as soon as he turned over and dismounted, he heard Kangguru turn around and whisper, "General, that little thing is here!" ”
He turned his head, the upper body wrapped in cotton bandages, cotton blankets, and the lower body wearing leggings Henry Bourbon stumbled towards him with a face full of ecstasy, and opened his arms, Chen Jiujing's first reaction was that Bourbon Henry did not hold a weapon, and the vigilance in his heart was slightly loosened, and his hand touched the handle on his waist, and he was given a big hug by Bourbon Henry.
Then the king of Navarre raised his head at great speed, pouted and kissed Chen Jiujing with a bearded mouth.
Yes, his target is Chen Jiujing's lips, so it's a kiss.
But then he was forced to pause, and his face was raised high, for his jaw was pressed against a handcuff, and there were two 'clicks' in his ears, which were the sound of the flintlock's bolt being opened.
Two side-by-side pipes were pressed against his chin, two dragon heads were choking on two flints, two triggers were held by Chen Jiujing's index finger, and a pair of black eyes were slightly lowering their heads and looking at him fixedly at the distance from their noses to their noses.
"I, I heard Margo say that you saved my life, I must come and thank you, my brother!"
Chen Jiujing blinked, brother?
He was a little confused. /14_14088/
