Chapter 1704 Entering Paris
A group of turbaned and rather dark-skinned soldiers entered Paris first, holding muskets.This is a minion army from the Indian peninsula.

At the city walls of Paris, a few civilians still had arquebuses or wheel-wheel guns in their hands, and they watched warily the native soldiers entering the city.

There are also heavy artillery placed on the streets of Paris, which were prepared by the citizens of Paris who decided to fight in the streets in order to defend their city.

However, following the order of Mazarin, the most powerful red-clothed archbishop in the city of Paris, the rebels who had finally gathered lost their reason to resist. They could only gather helplessly on both sides of the street, looking at the city in anger and fear. Eastern troops entering the city.

"Why do Chinese people look so dark? Doesn't it mean that their skin is fair?"

"No, look at the officers they lead, their complexion is obviously fairer than those of the soldiers, maybe the officers are Chinese."

After the citizens of Paris were ordered to give up resistance, they whispered among themselves.

Their guess was not wrong. The officers of the Tubang soldiers recruited from the Indian Peninsula were all parachuted by Chinese, and it was difficult for the Tubang soldiers to climb to the rank of lieutenant.

"We have controlled the main streets and occupied the forts and commanding heights. Some Paris rebels still have firearms. It may be that the cardinal has no troops to collect the firearms taken by the rebels. It may also be that he deliberately let the Paris rebels still keep some firearms. , the rebels still have the ability to resist if we are unwilling to return Paris."

After controlling the core area of ​​the city of Paris, the officer who led the soldiers of the territorial state came out to report to Sun Chuanting and others.

"Half of the troops entered the city to strengthen control, and the other half stayed outside the city to support, strengthen the city's defenses, and resist reinforcements that might reinforce Paris. Eggs cannot be put in one basket." Sun Chuanting said.

Sun Chuanting and Prince Rupert each led a part of their troops into the city of Paris, and their troops were the elite.

With tall horses, cast iron cannons, and uniform uniforms, the troops entering the city greatly shocked the Paris Citizens' Assembly who were trying to resist. It was such a force that defeated the 5 troops of the European countries in the final battle in the north of Paris.

"Their eyes are full of vigilance, unconvinced, fear, and provocation... It can be seen that their hearts are complicated." Sun Chuanting rode on the horse, and he glanced at the Frenchman who looked very different from him.

He could understand the complexity in the eyes of the common people in Paris. If a foreign enemy occupied the Eastern capital, it is estimated that the people there would show similar expressions.

"It's fine in other places, but it's not easy to make Paris succumb." Prince Rupert also had to admit.

Sun Chuanting, Prince Rupert and other officers rode tall horses, and with the arrogance of victors, they came all the way to the Louvre on the north bank of the Seine.

King Louis XIII has fled here, and now the Cardinal Mazarin is maintaining the order here, and there are only a few hundred people under him.

"I heard that there are many treasures here. I don't know if the famous painting "Mona Lisa" is here. If the collection of the Louvre can be brought back, then the funds for this expedition may be able to be compensated. You What do you think?" Prince Rupert suggested to Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting looked at the rather splendid Louvre, where there is also a large gallery with a length of 300 meters.

Their soldiers have already controlled the city of Paris, and it is easy for them to take away the treasures of the Louvre.

He heard that the East India dispatch army led by Qin Zuoming had plundered the Red Fort of the Mughal Empire and harvested hundreds of millions of rupees.The power of Louis XIII is not as great as that of the Mughal emperor in India, and France spends a lot of money on wars all year round. The collection here should not be as luxurious as the Mughal emperor, but it is still a fortune.

"You two, don't do this, or the citizens of Paris will completely lose control, and even if you do business, they will burn your goods. If you want compensation, you don't need to start with the collection of the Louvre, we can give it to you. You gold and silver." Archbishop Mazaran in red heard that they were discussing the division of the Louvre Castle, and he was a little anxious.

After he returned to Paris, he managed to stabilize the situation here. If the Louvre was looted, the indignant rebels in Paris would probably overthrow the king and him, the cardinal.

"In addition to the cash compensation, we still have to take away a small number of artworks, such as the "Mona Lisa". The artworks we want to take away can be discounted to offset the war indemnity. What do you think, my lord, the archbishop in red." Sun Chuanting Said.

"If you just want to take a few pieces, His Majesty the King will not refuse..." The archbishop in red was bleeding from the bottom of his heart.

Although many of the collections in the Louvre were purchased by the King of France from all over Europe to enrich the collections of the Louvre, some collections were not well-known at the beginning, but now they are priceless, such as the "Mona" they mentioned. Lisa", which is the work of Leonardo da Vinci, an Italian Renaissance painter. If Louis XIII wants to transfer it, it is estimated that Louis XIII will be bleeding.

"Let's go in and have a look."

Sun Chuanting, Prince Rupert and others promised not to loot the Louvre, but they went in for a visit, and Sun Chuanting silently recorded any good things in his heart during the visit.

When signing the peace treaty, these good things should be handed over willingly by the king of France. In the future, the French will not be able to recover these works of art. Wouldn’t it be more beautiful than being a robber who set fire?

And you can choose one or two treasures and hand them over to Chu Yun to please your boss.

The archbishop in red roughly guessed the other party's thoughts, but there was some helplessness in the corner of his mouth.

This can be regarded as a waste of money to prevent disasters, and the collection handed over by the king can also offset part of the compensation.Mazaran could only comfort himself in this way.

"Why has the King of France run away? I was thinking that we could drink tea together in this splendid palace and discuss the contents of the treaty." After Sun Chuanting visited the Louvre, he met the Cardinal and Prince Rupert in the lounge They drink tea.

These tea leaves were carried with the army, and he also brought the custom of drinking tea to Paris.

"Our king has not completely failed. He is still the king of France. He can once again organize an army of 5 people in Lyon to counterattack Paris. If you want to end the war as soon as possible, I hope you don't make it too difficult for us in the peace treaty, otherwise it will evolve. It will become the second Hundred Years' War." Mazaran tried his best to win preferential treatment for France.

"It's useless to say more, let's start discussing the "Paris Peace Treaty"." Sun Chuanting said.
