Three hundred and eighth chapter return gift
On the fourth day after Chen Jiujing's fleet left the Bordeaux Port, the fleet sent by the Port of Southwest France came late, leaving them with unknown means to lift the broken bastions of the city walls from the underground and one manor after another with smoke on the vast land.
The battlefields where corpses were everywhere had been cleaned up, but the piles of French corpses still had the last dignity. They did not take away everything like the European army like locusts, and those clothes were still worn on them.
There were no Spanish or Ming Empire people, and the battlefield was cleaned up very clean.
What made the reinforcements most angry was that after all the manors in the suburbs of a hundred miles were plundered and only a few castles survived, Bordeaux still paid the ransom to the invaders - although they did not have as much as they asked for.
This is an unparalleled shame.
The noble squire in the city collected all the gold and silver that could be collected and sent to the outside of the city, and in the end they exchanged for an earl and three knights.
And the price of these people is the same... The Ming Empire treats their nobles equally and all are based on their weight.
Gold and silver are on the scale!
How barbaric?
Six days later, the Henry-Red Kingdom infantry arrived first, looked at the tragic situation of Bordeaux and visited the gentry in the city, and then led his troops back to prepare for war - he had just learned that these violent elements across the ocean were next to his territory.
He was more worried that his kingdom would be attacked by these people than to uphold justice for Bordeaux.
The sad clouds and mist on the west coast of France did not affect the Spanish people on the other side of the Bay of Biscay to carry out a grand triumphal ceremony at the port for the Xiyong Camp, which was full of loads.
When Chen Jiujing's flagship stopped at the port, various ships carried cargo at the shore docks, countless Spanish people spontaneously came to the port to transport cargo for them.
Oak barrels filled with wine were unloaded from the shore, and the newly spun out the value of the most expensive georgette was squandered by mercenaries who were too lazy to carry, or used as wrapping cloth for raisins, cured meat, sausages, and whole ham.
How could the thin chiffon hold up so many heavy things? The mercenaries naturally thought of this, so they would wrap many layers, so that the little Spanish wild children who were asking about the mercenary on the harbor on the coast were going to chase the mercenaries and ask what was wrapped inside.
There are even boxes of elderberry, which were taken locally by military doctors from Baishanying tribes when treating wounded soldiers. They found that there are also such medicinal materials grown in Europe. Although they are somewhat different, they are not very problematic in use.
This thing is the most effective for military doctors. It is a treasure, which can promote blood circulation and relieve pain, breakage and injury, fracture and blood loss, and can be cured. So although they brought some patent medicines made by the Dongyang Military Palace, they cut out pieces of roots in the wild, and when other goods are loaded, they use bundled elder blocks to crack.
In the end, there was an elderberry that could hold a 400-food boat and was left with no ground, and it was burned in a room in the bay.
Originally, the tribal doctor under Kanggulu's command, whose waist was as thick as a man and his face was full of flesh, was very unhappy. He felt that it was a pity that they were all good things to burn. Later, from Chen Jiujing's hearsay, he told some cases of Europa doctors who had to hold the torch and watch it burned before boarding the boat.
After boarding the ship, he also said to the White Mountain Warrior on the ship: "You always call us a quack doctor, let's see what a quack doctor is?"
Chen Jiu understood his thoughts. He finally had someone who could make him call him a quack doctor, so he couldn't let them grow up.
With the help of the people, the mercenaries were happy. In addition to the important spoils they had to carry and pull, those valuable things were only taken care of along the way, and asked the people to help carry them onto the carriage.
Chen Jiujing, infected by this happy atmosphere, ordered the launch of thirty oak barrels and distributed them to the people who helped the pier to drink them at will. As people praised their harvest, they rode their horses and led their troops back to the camp in a donkey cart.
For Chen Jiujing, the two generals of Baishan, and the six generals of Xiyong, those valuable red wine, georgette, and even gold and silver jewelry were no longer so important after a brief but thrilling voyage to the port.
What matters are the armor, weapons, artillery and war horses.
If they want money, they can take out a week to grab it again at any time - the feeling of being so rampant and unobstructed can only be so happy under Chen Jiujing.
If anyone did this, as long as they were known, they would have to live a displaced life and become bandits. However, Chen Jiujing was different. The Spanish king would never hand him over to France.
"To congratulate us on our victory, General, the chief of Bilbao sent people to send fifty Bilbao swords, all of which are good swords. In Spain, this is a good weapon second only to the Toledo steel sword."
Shortly after returning to the camp, Chen Jiujing asked the Beiyang military doctor who was left behind to help him see his left ear that was constantly buzzing. He burned hot water and drilled into the basin to take a comfortable bath. Carlos, who was preparing for the dinner, changed his clothes and held a steel sword in the tent and handed it to the Jurchen warrior standing at the door.
Carlos, who took off his plate armor and wore a black shirt, reported to him: "The news for merchants has been spread. Our goods are the best and should be able to take action soon."
"There are too many Pershmas brought back from Bordeaux, and there is no place to keep in the camp. For the time being, people who came to see the swords had already been asked to go back to ask the chief for instructions to open the ranch, but it would take some time to go to Baxbis."
Carlos said: "We can find a reliable ranch owner outside the city and raise it with them first, and it won't cost too much money."
Since the Bax area belonged to the Kingdom of Narva in ancient times, it later split into a voluntary form to join Spain, so it enjoyed a considerable degree of autonomy. If the Chen Jiujing County camp wanted to expand its land, it was natural to spend money to buy land, but more importantly, it was necessary to obtain the consent of the autonomous capital.
Chen Jiujing, who was soaked in the warm soup, had no objection to this. He glanced at the warrior who came in. The other party pulled out his sword and bounced it, nodding heavily, indicating that the sword was indeed as Carlos said, and it was a good weapon. He closed his eyes while pillowing the wooden barrel and said, "There are indeed many horses. We have left a hundred horses in our camp and pick out another hundred mares. I want to send a boat to Seville. The rest will be found as you said, and it will be a few ranches to foster the farm first."
"As for this sword, the Ming Empire is concerned with repaying me. If someone gives me a gift, I don't have anything to give me back. Just give them a few French people."
