Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 390

In fact, after walking out of the temporary medical center where Roderick and Brother Teresa received treatment and recuperation; Jiang Tian couldn't help but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.I didn't expect to meet such an interesting character in this time and space that seriously deviates from the official history.

That’s all for the others, this Roderick’s experience reminded him of another time and space, a famous and iconic figure in the reconquest movement to re-realize the Christianization of the Spanish peninsula. Look at the pale St. Cid.

However, Rodrigo in this time and space is more like a different time and space homotope under the confinement of the marginal world line; it is just that the experience is richer, but the luck is less.The high-level knights and vassals and nobles who are good have come to the point of sergeants of the frontier garrison of the Holy Kingdom.

In addition, he was involved in the underground gathering of heterogeneous and cult members, and it was rare for Jiang Tian to recruit him.However, from his polite and polite speech, it also shows that this is a determined and assertive person; he will not easily change the things he believes.

Therefore, Jiang Tian simply visited and inquired about everyone's experiences, and explained to him the best treatment and follow-up recovery conditions, without making other requests.It was that Friar Teresa who offered to stay in the Freedom Army to participate in and witness the fight against aliens.

Jiang Tian naturally agreed immediately, and then took advantage of the situation to make another suggestion; since the Holy Kingdom Army that invaded Zealand has been defeated, I hope that Roderick will return to the Holy Kingdom as a messenger after he recovers from his injuries, and will follow up with the Free Army for further negotiations. Conditions are forwarded to the appropriate high-level.

After all, the battle was fierce this time, causing at least more than 1000 casualties in the Free Army; but it also captured at least several Hundreds of senior knights and noble generals and officers.

Therefore, they are also a very important bargaining chip and hole card in the subsequent diplomatic negotiations with the Holy Kingdom.At least the current Freedom Army is not ready for a full-scale war with the Holy Kingdom. It is neither realistic nor worthwhile, so it is good to reach a short-term truce agreement or tacit understanding.

On the other hand, as far as private individuals are concerned, if they are directly converted into ransoms based on their status and fiefdoms, it is a considerable amount; perhaps it is enough to compensate for the damage they caused to the Kingdom of Zealand due to their invasion. Should the loss, perhaps more than enough.

So after Rodrigo agreed, Jiang Tian asked for another thing by the way.It is to let him recover from his wounds, and take turns to visit the generals and officers of the Holy Kingdom who have become prisoners, to see if they have any personal messages or requests, and take them back to the country by the way.

Of course, this is also an upright conspiracy.If you are a person who is good at making money, you will use this opportunity to create momentum and profit for yourself, and even take the opportunity to win the favor and kindness of these holy kingdom nobles and high-level knights; in the end, it will be transformed into your own interests and connections.

But if he is a man of integrity, as he has always been, that will also win the gratitude and kindness of some people.But not everyone is able to repay their kindness, or even if they are in adversity, they will not easily vent their anger and blame others; especially when they are in an embarrassing situation.

At this time, how much gratitude is on the surface, and how much revenge will be intensified in the future.Of course, if this is just the case, it can only cause some small troubles for him.It is still too early to make him change his family, after all, he came from a family of powerful vassals.

However, there are no absolutes in this world.If he happened to have some powerful enemies and used them to provoke political incidents and court struggles, it would be completely different.As the so-called icing on the cake, how can it compare with the timely help, and even rescue at the time of peril...

After arranging the follow-up matters of Tarbes City/Fortress, and forming a special garrison regiment (4300 people) of the Lower Pyrenees, thinking that this place will be controlled on the spot to prevent the follow-up military operations of the Holy Kingdom; Jiang Tian leads the remaining Troops, captured and recruited, made their way home.

When he returned to Toulouse after two days and three nights, he received a series of unexpected news.Seemingly inspired by the news that the Holy Kingdom had entered Toulouse, in the two remaining provinces of Aude and Hérault on the southwestern coast, the royal party/old aristocrats were actually very active and rampant.

Therefore, just four days ago, a provisional seventh regiment (two regiments/five companies) marching to take over the fortress of Colcassonne, the capital of the province of Aude, was met with a large number of royalist troops gathered in the local area. Raids and harassment; finally reached Corcassonne but was also besieged.

And seven days earlier, a major incident also occurred in the province of Herault; because the Sardinian Kingdom fleet landed at the coastal port of Sete.With the great assistance of these hostile forces from overseas, the armed forces of the local royalists/old nobles suddenly swelled to tens of thousands of people.

Then, in the continuous siege of Montpellier, the provincial capital, it was supported by the naval combat company of the Kingdom of Sardinia; using the cannon disassembled and transferred from the ship, it concentrated on blasting the broken Montpellier city defense; finally rushed into the city The king's party created a heinous tragedy.

They not only hunted down and massacred the remaining liberal and republican suspects in the city, but also sent troops to burn, kill, and loot Jianyin everywhere. Whether it was the old, the weak, women, children, or priests and officials, they all used various means to kill and have fun; The city was drowned in a pool of blood.

In the end, even the Sardinians who came to help the battle couldn't see it anymore, so they restrained a little.However, the gathered royalist party swelled even more under this victory, and even announced on the spot in the ruins of the city that they would rebuild the Legitimacy Army of the exterminated Kingdom and the Southern Protectorate Government.

With a great aristocrat, the Marquis de Sade, as the chief executive of the royal family, the Grand Marshal; he also appointed a series of court positions and military ranks; set up at least dozens of titles of warlords, corps, regiments, and regiment leaders, as if they were crowned with monkeys Amuse yourself.It has also become the primary target of the Free Army.

However, when Jiang Tian heard the familiar name of Marquis de Sade, he became a little flustered.This is not just another frequent visitor of the Bastille in time and space, but also the only prisoner rescued in the French Revolution, and the patriarch of Western harp literature and SM tradition.

Of course, the Marquis of Sade in this time and space is also a well-known figure in the capital circle.Not only because he was born in an aristocratic family in Provence in the southern part of the kingdom, nor because his family has served as diplomats for a long time, but also because he is a well-known pimp in the upper class of the kingdom.

Moreover, including his spouse and his relatives, the relationship between men and women is extremely chaotic; even members of the former royal family have affairs.Especially the old queen known as the "Queen of the Bus", with whom I don't know how many various and eloquent jokes were compiled.

But it never occurred to him that such a well-known lower-body creature could become the backbone and leader of the remaining royalists in the south; it was simply speechless.This also reflects from another aspect, does the royal party in the south seem to have no one to use?

Still, there are looming issues that need to be addressed.The royalist army besieging the fortress of Corcassonne was relatively easy to handle. Jiang Tian directly sent the cavalry instructor Duval to lead [-] full cavalry companies and [-] mounted infantry companies;

The remaining Marquis de Sade entrenched in the city of Montpellier, as well as the so-called Legitimacy Army of the Kingdom and the Southern Protectorate Government, are not the focus of the current situation.The real problem lies in the Sardinian fleet that has occupied the port of Sete and can provide continuous overseas support for the royal party.

As the only kingdom of Sardinia that is geographically not considered among the princes of Northern Italy, but belongs to one of the four main forces of the Northern Italian Allied Forces; its predecessor originated from the maritime military station of the Western Empire.Therefore, it also has the most powerful naval force and naval combat company establishment among the princes of the Western Empire.

Of course, compared to the Kingdom of Sealand in its heyday, all the sea power of the Western Empire can be gathered to compete with it.Now that the Freedom Army has passed through the Port of Toulon, part of the Royal Navy that has been mastered and recovered can only be used to ensure the safety of the sea routes in the overseas provinces.

Therefore, they could neither stop the Sardinian navy, bypass heavily fortified Marseilles and other places, seize the port and land on the southwest coast, nor gain sufficient advantages in sea battles.Therefore, for the invasion of the Sardinian army, the final winner has to fall on land.

However, this time, the Freedom Army, which has initially mastered and integrated the Greater Toulouse region, already has a better means of transportation; it is operating in the Garonne River Basin and the lower Taff River, connected by artificial canals, which can be used A large fleet of ships to transport supplies and troops.
