***
Pang Ning and Yun Teng's 300 men and horses rebelled and successfully took the city of Le Havre, because of the small number of troops, in order to quickly control the situation, the whole process was inevitably a little bloody.
If only one member of a French army resists, the whole team will be shot. Even those who had already surrendered had to find a reason to kill them, and in one day, more than 5,000 people were killed in Le Havre, and some streets were even blocked with corpses. The thick smell of blood was disgusting.
There is no way, Pang Ning and they are only 300 people, but the city of Le Havre is a city with tens of thousands of people, if there are any more French prisoners, there is no way to divide the troops to meet Fango, otherwise Le Havre will have a change nine times out of ten.
At this moment, the city of Leajing can be described as bloody, and the fierce and vicious image of the Qin army is enough to stop the children from crying at night.
After taking the city, Pang Ning sent people to ask for help from Britain and Portugal, and asked Yun Teng to take two hundred people by boat to meet Fang Ge and others.
And the number of troops left behind in the city of Le Havre is only 100, and this amount of manpower is really hanging in the air to suppress Le Havre, which has tens of thousands of people, and if there is a large-scale riot among the people in the city, in fact, it is impossible for a hundred people in Panning to suppress it.
Fortunately, there were bloody methods before to deter, so that the people in the city did not dare to resist for the time being, but how long this situation can be maintained, and whether it can wait until Yunteng successfully brings the mission back, no one knows.
It was at this time that Louis. Morality. A follower of Bourbon, the Duke of Longuilleville, hurried to the city of Le Havre to see Ponning.
Louis, Duke of Longueville, Prince of Comli. Morality. Bourbon was much younger, only twenty years old, with a slender face, a high nose, and a golden wavy wig under his hat. Dressed in a French aristocratic dress, the trousers are very special, a bit like the stockings of later generations, and a sword around the waist.
He directly stated his position against the Paris court, and Pang Ning was inevitably a little curious, how could this person be found in this bone joint.
Pang Ning didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with him, and as soon as they met, he asked directly: "Your Excellency, may I ask why you came to see me?" ”
The Duke of Longueville took off his top hat and bowed very gentlemanly: "First of all, allow me to express my goodwill to His Excellency the General. I am not an enemy of Your Excellency the General. And sincerely want to make friends with His Excellency the General. ”
The enemy of the enemy is the friend, and from this point of view, the two seem to be friends.
However, Pang Ning didn't eat this set, and said sternly: "Your Excellency has something to say, just say it, otherwise don't blame me for issuing an eviction order." ”
Longeville said in a moment's time: "It is conceivable that His Excellency the General must be in a hurry now. But I have come this time to help His Excellency.
Now France is in the midst of great misfortune, and our king is young. The Empress Dowager and the first Marzarin wolf bèi colluded and persecuted loyal ministers, leaving the French people in dire straits, and the Prince of Condé had the heart to help the king. Eradicate Mazarin, a traitorous minister, and let the Queen Mother return to power to the king.
Your Excellency, Mazarin is our common enemy, if the General is willing to cooperate with us. We will immediately mobilize our forces to capture the nearby towns and do our best to help the general bring out the Great Qin mission. I don't know what the general wants? ”
Longeville's Tiyì is indeed a temptation that is very difficult to refuse for the Qin army, which is currently isolated and helpless.
But Pang Ning knows very well that there is no free lunch in the world, and if Longeville wants nothing more than to directly attack the surrounding towns, why bother running to find himself?
"Your Excellency, tell me what you want from me, right?"
"We have troops, but lack weapons, in order to successfully rescue the Qin mission, I hope that His Excellency the General can provide us with some weapons, 69-style flintlock rifles, earth-shaking thunder, and the most important thing is rockets, as long as the general can provide us with some weapons, I guarantee with my personality that I will be able to rescue your country's mission."
What are you kidding, there are still a lot of weapons on the Pang Ning ship, but this is not in Daqin, this is far away Europe, weapons are their biggest dependence, in Vernon Town, the account of the Slinger attack on the mission has not yet been calculated.
Well, even if they don't care about Vernon's night attack for the sake of profit now, how can they give advanced weapons to the Slingers, who knows if they will bite back when they get the weapons.
However, the support of the Fronde may be the only support that the eyes can get, and the Daqin Mission, which is isolated and helpless, really needs support too much.
So, no matter what, Pang Ning didn't want to give up this opportunity lightly.
"Your Excellency the Duke, we are here to visit Europe, not to start a war, so the weapons we bring are very limited, and now, our weapons are not enough, and it is impossible to provide them to you, if Your Excellency the Duke really has sincere cooperation, then please put forward other conditions."
"Your Excellency General, we will not let you provide weapons in vain, in addition to fully cooperating with the general to rescue your mission, we are also willing to pay a very high price to buy your weapons, if Your Excellency the General does not have many weapons left, we don't want too many, sixty-nine flintlock rifles cost fifty, one thousand bullets, only one hundred earth-shaking thunders, and only ten rockets."
Longeville didn't say that these weapons were mainly to be imitated, but Pang Ning knew very well that the earth-shaking thunder could be provided, but the six-nine flintlock rifles and rockets, which were strictly forbidden by Daqin to be sold to the outside world, and there was a strict decision, in the war, if the shape was unfavorable, these weapons must be destroyed, and they cannot fall into the hands of the enemy.
If it were other backward countries, it would be better to say that a country like France, which is relatively advanced in science and technology, would never have handed over such weapons as rockets to them.
"Your Excellency, in order to show our sincerity, we can only provide you with some earth-shattering thunder, we only have one rifle per person, it is not impossible to provide it to you, and the rockets are basically used up, and, without concealing it from Your Excellency the Duke, it is impossible for us to dismantle the artillery to the shore for use; So, the little rockets that are left are what we rely on to save our lives in times of emergency, and therefore we can't give them to you, not a single one.
If you are sincere and succeed in helping our mission out of trouble, we may be able to consider providing you with some in the future. If the Duke is not sincere in cooperating, then forget it;
To put it bluntly, if Your Excellency the Duke is willing to help us, isn't he helping yourself? How much can Spain help you if you go to form an alliance with Spain?
If we succeed in getting out of trouble, we will definitely lobby Britain and Portugal to put pressure on Mazarin, show solidarity with you, and possibly provide you with a large amount of help such as weapons and supplies, and fully support you in the Qing Dynasty. ”
Louis, Prince of Condé. Morality. Bourbon did sign an alliance with Spain, but Spain, a declining country, was at war with France and Portugal, and both against France and Portugal, it was more defeated than victorious, and the trade of the Far East was also lost. Morality. The support provided by the Bourbon was minimal.
If they can really get the unanimous support of Qin, Portugal and Britain, it will be different for Longueville, who is far away, but if nothing else, as long as they can get some weapon support, it will be of great help.
If he could establish friendly relations with England and Portugal and get some substantial support from them, it would be for Louis. Morality. Bourbon, there is even a possibility of seizing the throne.
Pang Ning's words made Longeville very moved, now while the Paris court was busy dealing with the Qin army, it was a good time for them to capture some towns, so even if he couldn't reach any agreement with Pang Ning, he didn't want to miss this good opportunity to attack the city and plunder the pool.
On the other hand, Louis, who had just captured Orleans. Morality. Bourbon is training his troops in a hurry, and it will take time, and if the Qin army is wiped out like this, it will also be very disadvantageous to Longueville, because then the Paris court can concentrate on attacking Orleans.
Thinking of all these aspects, Longeville decided to reach a co-organizer with Pang Ning even though Pang Ning did not agree to sell their weapons immediately, and first sold Qin State a favor in exchange for future support.
