Chapter 867 No one can do it before France surrenders

The Ming army set foot on a completely new land, and although there were supply bases on the journey, the soldiers were generally tired and somewhat reduced.

Coupled with the fact that they have been adrift at sea for too long, shellfish have crawled all over the bottom of the ship, and the most terrifying thing is the ship maggot, a disgusting bivalve creature.

They live by gnawing on rotten wood, and it is precisely because of the presence of ship maggots that many ships are damaged and even silenced in the waves of the sea.

After paying a heavy price, the sailors of the Ming Dynasty have found a way to cope, and they even use ship maggots to cook soup, not to mention, the taste is exceptionally delicious!

After the fleet docked in Calais, the soldiers needed to settle down, the ships had to be taken care of, and most importantly, everyone had to recover their strength.

"It will take at least half a month, and it would be good if you could get grain and meat. And we still lack some craftsmen who can repair the ships and produce ordnance for us......" Chang Mao, with a hoarse voice, made a request to his wife.

The princess is still lively and full of fighting spirit.

When she left her home to look for her father, it was completely impulsive. It's not that she hasn't thought about returning halfway, but she really can't find the way, and there is no way.

But when she arrived in Daming and saw the weather of Shangguo, her whole person changed.

If you want to say that the person who has the most confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, this princess is the first to be recommended.

Just kidding, the heavenly soldiers and generals of the kingdom, where can these turtles in Europe defeat!

"My husband, you can rest assured that on European soil, as long as there is money, there is nothing that cannot be bought."

It's the first time Chang Mao has heard of it, in the end, he is a barbarian, and he is so open-minded!

"Then I take the money, can I even buy the other party's head?"

The princess was dumbfounded, "Of course you can buy it!" The silk on our ship is the treasure that the merchant is willing to exchange his head for! My husband, rest assured, leave everything to me! ”

Her Royal Highness the princess ran away confidently, what else could Chang Mao say, he turned around and went to find Lan Yong. With Chang Shige's intuition, when they come to a foreign land, there will inevitably be a big war, and they must recover quickly, only in this way can they meet the challenges in the future.

There is no need for Chang Mao to explain, Lan Yong did the same.

The soldiers built an offensive, laid batteries, prepared the camp, and were methodically busy.

The only thing that confused Lan Yong was the white flag with a red cross in the middle.

"Zheng Guogong, they say that this thing is called the national flag, and they also say that it is British!" Lan Yong scratched his head, he seemed to have heard Liu Chun mention that the British flag should be a rice-shaped flag, why is it like this? Could it be that the British changed their flags?

Lan Yong couldn't figure it out.

In fact, he can't figure it out, Britain has not yet annexed Scotland, so the familiar rice flag has not yet appeared!

Britain was now engaged in a long war with France.

Vertical and horizontal, no matter where it works. In order to deal with the British, France co-opted Scotland and launched a special attack on the chrysanthemums of the British.

The British were just as powerful, and they actively co-opted the Duchy of Burgundy under the French king...... All in all, under this mess, the Ming fleet was like a heavy hammer, smashing on the European continent, breaking the balance of power between Britain and France.

"I ...... The daughter of Duke Bell, the Duchess of Zhengguo from the Far East, and the commander of the Knights of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty...... I command you to go and inform the King of France, Charles VI, at once, that he may come and hear the will of God! ”

Her Royal Highness the princess is full of momentum, but to the French, she is completely crazy!

What Duke Bell?

It's nothing more than a petty nobleman who doesn't go into the stream, and as for the duchess from the East...... Who knows where this East is referring to?

And to make the king do his bidding, which is even more ridiculous.

In Europe, the only emperor was the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, and where did an emperor come from?

And beside Her Royal Highness the princess, there is actually a group of strange-looking people, are they from the East?

This damn woman actually colluded with the Turks, she is simply damned!

Gotta give her a little color!

The French quickly gathered men and horses and prepared to attack the Ming army.

Because of the years of fighting, the French mobilized with astonishing efficiency, and it took them only five days to assemble a team of 15,000 men, and the battle was about to break out.

But at this time, King Charles VI of France suddenly came up with a brilliant idea.

He thought that these gibberish creatures were definitely pirates, so he took out two thousand gold coins and sent his courtiers to convince them.

As long as you can surrender to France and attack the ships of the British, you will be rewarded by the King of France, and even a bonus.

Two thousand gold coins!

Have you ever seen so much money?

In the face of the dancing French envoys, Chang Mao and Lan Yong were speechless, do you treat us as beggars? It's tolerable, it's unbearable!

"We will keep the gold coins, but we will not be rude, but we will choose twenty pieces of silk and send them to your king...... Tell him that those who don't know are not to blame, the first time in the kingdom is a gift, and the second time is a killing! Let him think clearly, the consequences of the confrontation with the country! Drop-off! ”

The messenger was driven out, and immediately he went mad.

It's not that I'm angry, but I'm shocked!

Silk!

It's countless times better than the top goods, it's indescribable. Smooth feel, extremely gorgeous patterns, even if there is only one horse, it can be worth thousands of gold coins.

It's a work of art!

Maybe they really came from the kingdom of heaven, otherwise who would have such good silk?

The news reached Paris. Charles VI's madness was even worse.

"You say they have silk? Is it a lot? ”

"Your Majesty, very, very much! They had dozens of huge ships loaded with silk! The best looking silk! ”

Obviously, this courtier is also a man with a mouth full of trains.

In this way, His Majesty the King categorically decided to fight for silk!

"What a good lad, no one is a match for the French cavalry, those damned pirates, who have no choice but to obediently serve silk! Otherwise, a one-sided slaughter awaits them! ”

Charles VI was really prescient, and it was indeed a one-sided massacre, but it was a pity that the object of the slaughter became them.

Charles VI watched in disbelief, and the cavalry in patches was engulfed in artillery fire.

Obviously it is a soft ground, how can the opponent's shells still have such a strong lethality? And why did their muskets shoot so far?

Why is that?

Who the hell are we fighting against?

The fight was bloody, the corpses were all over the field, and I didn't know who the opponent was, and this battle was really confusing enough.

If you open the perspective of God, you will find that these French soldiers are not really weak chickens.

They were already armed with a considerable number of muskets and artillery, and as for their cavalry, they abandoned their heavy chain mail in favor of sturdy and light plate armor, making themselves look like tin cans.

If they were given a little more time, with only a few decades of development, they could widen the gap with the East and prepare for the future colonization of the world.

And the appearance of Yoo Chun completely changed all that.

The Ming army preemptively completed the firearms, and after continuous improvement, the range of the firearm crushed the Europeans, and the power was also greater, especially the artillery, with the use of flowering shells, the gap was completely widened.

In addition, the French people have not really awakened, and at the moment they are just mercenaries fighting for the king, and their fighting spirit and organization are all a big difference.

Each item is different, and in individual items, the gap is even greater...... Coupled with the lack of sufficiently accurate intelligence, defeat was inevitable.

"Beat me hard!"

A cannonball exploded next to the Duke of Orleans, and the most trusted general of the French king was blown into crispy and tender roasted wings, followed by the collapse of 5,000 men and horses, followed by the collapse of the entire French army......

Charles VI was completely stunned, the strength of his opponent's enemy was completely beyond his expectations.

Especially their dark hair and dark eyes, which are completely different from those of Europeans. Could it be that they are devils from hell?

His Majesty was afraid, and as reckless as he came, he was so miserable as he was defeated.

In the face of the defeated French army, Chang Mao was still a little hesitant, the Ming army had just gained a foothold, and there would be trouble if they pursued rashly. Originally, he hoped to cooperate with other forces to establish a solid stronghold, and then he wanted to forge ahead.

But apparently Her Royal Highness the Princess did not see it that way.

She didn't consider the number of the Ming army at all, in her heart, Shangguo will always be invincible, especially this victory, which deepened her belief.

"Rush! Kill it! ”

The princess took the lead and pursued the deserters...... At this moment, Chang Mao and Lan Yong had no choice, they could only order the pursuit. Along the way, they continued to capture French troops and seize supplies.

The soldiers were also in high spirits, and just like that, they got closer and closer to Paris.

Chang Mao narrowed his eyes, reined in the war horse, and said meaningfully: "This battle can approach the opponent's capital, which is enough to deter the enemy, and you can accept it when you see it." ”

Chang Mao was about to turn his horse's head, and a team carrying a white flag quickly rushed to this side...... France, surrendered!
