Late autumn 1656, Lyon, France.

The outskirts of Lyon were densely packed with soldiers, including infantry, cavalry, artillery, and baggage. A scout of the Tiger Army named Huang Huo was lying on the outskirts of a pine forest with a telescope, and next to him lay two Portuguese and one Frenchman.

It was not easy for the Han Chinese to penetrate into such an inland part of France, and the scout Huang Huo only reached Lyon with the assistance of the Portuguese. This scout is fluent in Portuguese, Spanish, and French. He heard a lot about the European Union in Portugal and even heard that King Louis XIV of France was organizing a coalition army, so he rushed to Lyon as soon as possible.

The Portuguese, disguised as Spanish porcelain merchants, hid Huang Huo at the bottom of the carriage and made his way through the Iberian Peninsula to Lyon. Han Jinxin has been building a wide range of spy networks over the years, so the three spies, including Huang Huo, found many connectors in France, and with the help of these connectors, they touched the training ground of the French army all the way.

Ahead, the situation on the French training ground surprised Huang Huo very much.

The small pine forest where he was located was relatively high and could see far away. Therefore, Huang Huo can clearly see the flags of European countries waving in the wind.

On the training ground there were not only French, but also Dutch, British, Spanish, German and even Russian. The flags of all countries fly high. There are a lot of people on the field, Huang Huo has learned to investigate and count, and has learned a whole set of methods for estimating the number of people. But even for a professional scout like him, a professional spy, he couldn't quickly estimate how many people were on the training ground.

After a long time, the Portuguese beside Huang Huo took a breath and said, "There are at least 100,000 people. ”

Huang Huo said in Portuguese: "My friend, this is just 100,000 people in our field of vision. But look at the heralds who are shuttling back and forth, and every one of them is running out of breath when they reach us, apparently after a long gallop to arrive. According to my estimates, there are at least 300,000 people in the north where we can't see them. ”

The two Portuguese took a breath and looked at Huang Huo in surprise.

"Chinese friend, do you mean that the king of France has gathered an army of more than 400,000 troops. What does he want to do? ”

Huang Huo shook his head and did not speak.

The Frenchman next to him was a native who had been bribed by the Daqi spy system, and his name was Vuitton, a local postman. Because he often delivers letters from various places, he knows a lot of news that ordinary people don't know. However, because he had no money to buy horses and granges, he was always looked down upon, and was finally bought by the money of the Daqi intelligence system.

He could understand some Portuguese, and when he heard the discussion of the three people around him, he said flatteringly: "Friends, this is not all, there is also a large training ground eighty miles northwest of the king, and there are also a large number of allied troops from various countries. ”

Huang Huo looked at Vuitton in surprise.

He took thirty taels of silver out of his pocket, flicked it and threw it onto Vuitton's chest.

Thirty taels of silver was a huge sum even for Europeans, enough to buy a ploughing horse. Vuitton's eyes lit up, and he quickly put the silver into his pocket, and said eloquently: "Mr. Huang, I walked in that training ground in the name of delivering letters. Their cooking area is by a small river, about five stories deep. It took me an hour to walk from the east side of the cooking area to the west side. ”

Huang Huo's face turned white when he heard Vuitton's description.

If Vuitton was right, there were at least 400,000 people in that training ground to the northwest. That is to say, in small Lyon, the king of France gathered 800,000 troops.

What did Louis XIV want to do?

Huang Huo was thinking there, but suddenly saw two French cavalrymen slowly riding towards this side. The two cavalrymen were not traditional pikemen, they did not wear plate armor and were armed with mini rifles.

Huang Huo was stunned and roared in Portuguese: "Hide." ”

The four of them crept quietly on the ground, hiding in the shadows of the pine forest, covering their bodies with thick pine needles on the ground.

Two French horsemen approached the pine forest, jumped off their horses and tied their horses to a pine tree. Apparently they had come to pee, but in the very safe heart of France, their alert level was low, and they did not notice the four Chinese spies ten meters away.

"This kind of training is really hard, and if it weren't for the knighthood, I really wouldn't be able to persevere."

"Platini, you're joking again. You're the toughest cavalryman in our regiment, and that training isn't much to you. ”

The French cavalryman, known as Platini, laughed.

The two horsemen walked to the inside of the pine forest, stood still in front of the two pine trees, and began to take out the dick to pee.

Huang Huo pricked up his ears and listened to the conversation between the two people, trying to hear some useful information.

"Platini, do you think we can take Portugal this time?"

The cavalryman, known as Platini, laughed again and said in a firm tone: "John, is this still to be doubted? Now His Royal Highness has gathered a million European coalition troops. One of us, a million people, can shoot Lisbon into ruins. Now that the European Union has taken shape, the Portuguese who have taken refuge with the yellow race are dead. ”

The cavalryman, known as John, laughed and said, "Will the Portuguese have a countermeasure?" They have state-of-the-art weapons. Moreover, will Li Zhi, the devil in the East, send troops to assist the Portuguese? ”

Platini shook his dick, put it away, and said, "John, didn't you listen to the knight's analysis?" In the face of the sheer numerical superiority of a million European soldiers, the 100,000 Portuguese troops were useless with any weapons. “

"As for Li Zhi's support, I don't think there is anything to worry about. It took two months for the yellow steamers to sail to Portugal, and each ship could only carry one hundred and fifty soldiers and supporting weapons, ammunition, and supplies, excluding sailors. It would take two months for the news to reach the East from Europe, and even if the yellow people drove a thousand ships to transport troops, they could only transport 150,000 soldiers to Portugal in five months. ”

"We have a million soldiers, and we will kill Portugal in a month. This is the first group to assemble. If the front was needed, more European coalition forces would continue to attack Portugal. How many troops can Li Zhi transport to fight in Europe? Will he be able to transport huge quantities of supplies from the Far East to Europe? It's impossible! It is impossible for the yellow race to wage war with us in Europe and achieve victory. ”

John laughed when he heard Platini's analysis. The two stopped talking, returned to the horses and rode away.

Seeing the two French cavalry leave, the two Portuguese on the ground suddenly loosened their bodies and trembled in the yellowed pine needles.

"Portugal... Portugal is finished. ”

The two Portuguese spies are in a state of extreme panic, because now the whole of Europe is joining forces to attack Portugal, and no matter how you think this small southern European country will be destroyed.

Huang Huo's eyes were blood-red.

"Friends! Just relax! Just relax! We, the Han Chinese, will not allow the Europeans to destroy our allies. ”

"Let's go back to Lisbon! Send the news back to Tianjin as soon as possible. ”nt
