Chen Jiujing was indeed in a hurry to fight because he was almost spending the money.

In addition to dividing the military pay for the mercenaries of Xiyong camp under his command, he built the camp, purchased land, and armed forces, and ordered more than 600 muskes for Yang Ce in the province of Bacchus, selling and looting the outskirts of Bordeaux.

This is the case where he does not need to pay military pay. The hard currency silk used to pay military pay is allocated directly from the tax of the Dadongyang Trade. If this is included, Chen Jiujing actually lost money.

He had already joined this war, but he had not sent troops.

Since Margaret told him that the war in the north was about to begin again, Carlos, the general of the Western Yong Battalion, was ordered to select fifty well-informed and meticulous subordinates from the army to disguise themselves as bards, bagpipers, merchants and other identities to sneak into France to collect information for him.

This was also a helpless move. His nominal allies, whether they were Philip of Spain, Gith from France, or his little lover Margaret, would only tell Chen Jiujing what they wanted Chen Jiujing to know.

Chen Jiujing also thought about it, and everyone was just using each other, and he didn't have to be loyal.

He is a blind man to Europa. If a blind man is led by a few bad intentions, he will not have a good ending.

Fortunately, Margaret, a lover who is happy to introduce French interpersonal relationships to him, Chen Jiujing is now considered amblyopia and is no longer blind.

The weather gradually became colder at the end of the year, but even though others said that the two months after Christmas were the coldest gathering in Spain, Chen Jiujing felt that it was just that.

His Baishan Camp all came from bitter and cold places and was freezing. They could bear the low temperature even if the water did not freeze at night.

However, the Restoration Army, who came from Changsheng, was still cold and shivered from time to time even though they were wearing thick military uniforms under their armor.

Even Zhu Xiaoen said that General Chen kept them here due to military needs. If he went directly to Ireland, someone would probably be frozen to death this winter.

These soldiers of the Restoration Army who mastered superb combat skills and were strong in training and meals were all Zhu Xiaoen's treasures, and they would never be willing to be frozen to death.

Although he was anxious, as if he was roasting on the fire, Chen Jiujing remained calm and accepted Margaret's soul-searching question every now and then: "When will you send troops!"

The young General Chen was waiting for the best time to intervene in the war, and was also ignoring his lover Margaret envoy.

He had to do his best to look like he didn't have much desire for war, so that when he finally agreed to send troops, Margaret felt that he was owed to him.

"She couldn't hold back anymore, it was related to the frustration of Navarra's siege against Caor."

On the school ground, Chen Jiujing held his pipe with his back on his back and looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, he muttered to Zhu Xiaoen, who was walking side by side: "The woman born in the palace is very troublesome. She shouldn't have let her move in. She is full of conspiracies and tricks. I was worried that she would listen to me when I was talking in my own camp."

"Last night, this princess who grew up in the palace actually began to guide us in the military. She said that many wars that should have been won ultimately failed because of the destruction of hesitation and uncertainty. Hey, she would still say she was undecided!"

Zhu Xiaoen smiled at this: "This is the general who taught him well. The more she owes the general, the more she will be... the King of France may really be the general."

"I don't care or not, it's impossible."

Chen Jiujing picked up the obsidian pipe and put it on his mouth and chuckled gently. His helmet was clamped under his right arm's ribs. He looked at Zhu Xiaoen, the king of Ailan, who was undeniable, and said, "Sincere, if Margo was the princess of a country in Southeast Asia or the West, even if it was a small country, I would be happy about it. Who wouldn't want to be a king? But she is a French princess, and even if she doesn't have a husband, I don't want to."

"The King of France wants to kneel down to the bishop, and also to kiss the pope's feet, the pope." Chen Jiujing, holding a pipe, sneered and smiled at Zhu Xiaoen, "I heard that he only relies on a Swiss army to protect him, what can he do?"

Zhu Xiaoen curled his lips, shrugged his hands and shook his head. He believed in druids and was also a European pagan. He was not interested in the several legions of the Popes of the Roman Catholic Church. He only cared about the war that followed. He asked, "Did King Navarra send troops?"

"Send troops." Speaking of the matter, Chen Jiujing took the pipe in his mouth and nodded heavily, saying, "The day before yesterday, an envoy came back to tell me the news. He said that he knew about this day. He led nearly two thousand troops to the city of Caor. He used the thunder to blew open the city gate and entered the city, but he was frustrated in the street fighting."

"Margo's news is much more accurate than me. It is said that when the king of Navarra, Bourbon Henry, left Montauban, had only twelve people around him, all of them were the nobles of Navarra, and the others were all sent by the French king to monitor him. The king told the envoys that he was out of the city to hunt."

"Outside the city, twenty infantry and thirty cavalry joined the team, and they were the royal guards."

"They passed by Muwala, and a nobleman joined with a hundred good players; in the Ger River, the second team was more than a hundred; when they crossed the Garon River, three hundred squadrons from Piimirol joined; when they arrived in Monlois the night before, the next day, there were five hundred more troops."

"There were six hundred people joining Rozet, and the messenger sent by the King of France to watch it, on their land, the King of Navarra was favored, and so many nobles, soldiers joined Bourbon Henry's ranks like tribute along the way."

Chen Jiujing said, with a look of yearning on his face, and suddenly turned his head and said, "By the way, I almost forgot that in Monjugge City, which is very close to Caor City, the locals did not send soldiers, but offered Bourbon Henry four field cannons and Franc machine cannons. Then they launched a raid on Caor outside the city."

"The guard general Weizan, whose name is Caor, has two thousand defenders and the militia in the city. The battle is very hard. Bourbon Henry has two thousand Huguenot reinforcements on the way, but they may be about to arrive, or they may not set out, and they may never set out."

"The French king Henry would be much wise in this regard. Four hundred miles away from Caor City, French general Baron Billon Armand was 10,000 soldiers. It would not take long for him to lead his army to the back of Bourbon Henry. If he had not captured Caor at that time, he would be attacked from both sides and die."

Zhu Xiaoen smacked his mouth lightly, and the nose twitched slightly. The curled corners of his mouth looked like a smile. He said lightly: "Then the queen became a widow, which sounds like good news."

"This is indeed good news, but it is not to let the queen be a widow, but I am going to go to war."

Chen Jiujing stopped, knelt pipes on the pomegranate tree in the garden, and turned his head and said, "They have no relationship with each other, but they share weal and woe, and have a charity. Bourbon Henry asked Margo for help, so she naturally asked me to help. Even if there is a love affair, I can't make her hate me for the rest of my life."

After saying that, Chen Jiujing, who was standing upright, put away his pipe, slowly buckled his helmet, raised a smile on his face and asked Zhu Xiaoen: "Prince Xiaoen, is your restored army going to the battle with me, or is he waiting for the Han navy to join in the camp?"/14_14088/
