Chapter 1028 Love House and Wu
"How can you talk like that, they have already surrendered, but you still want to take away their horses, armor and weapons, even nobles from the countryside will not do this."

Chen Jiujing led the horse and walked in front, and Margaret led the horse and chased after him, shouting as he walked: "This makes me so ashamed!"

Their background is the open city gate on the left bank of Bordeaux, with small carts lighting torches, filled with shiny armor, swords, spears, and servants leading war horses along the road to the outside of the city the trench.

There were bursts of suppressed cries from the top of the city, and the adults who changed into satin and embroidered shirts watched the heirlooms get farther and farther away from them.

Chen Jiujing held the rein with one hand and pressed the saber at his waist, frowning and walked slowly forward. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally turned around at the door of the camp and raised his chin slightly and asked, "Do you think you have won a battle?" Battle? They respected you as a princess and queen, so they surrendered? Or do you think I care about these tattered armors—my Xiyong camp can buy these things for a month's military salary."

He didn't say horses because he really wanted them.

Margaret, who was walking with her head bowed, was frightened by Chen Jiujing's sudden stop, turning around, and replying. She took a half step back and took two deep breaths before complaining in a low voice: "I haven't talked for a long time, haven't we finished talking about this topic?"

Chen Jiujing didn't care about that: "Surrender is because resistance is useless. My artillery smashed the city wall, which proved that as long as I want to attack the city, the city wall can't stop me; we have a large number of people, and they are not opponents in street fighting. They are stubbornly resisting." It can only increase casualties.”

Margaret was stunned.

She really thought the topic was over.

She doesn't understand military matters, and she is willing to meddle only in politics, so despite being curious, she will not violate Chen Jiujing's military proposition. Tell him: "Your identity is just a step to make it easier for them to say about surrender."

"So you deliberately fired a volley and stopped giving orders." Margaret realized belatedly, "Do you know that I can persuade them to surrender?"

Chen Jiujing shook his head frankly: "I don't know. I agree with you to go, just because my North Korean interpreter was not shot by a musket while speaking, which shows that their fighting will is weak. Even if you go, there will be no danger, because they dare not The one who killed me."

"So, why not attack the city?"

"Because it is easy to destroy the city, but it is very troublesome to repair the city wall. Let me tell you a story."

Chen Jiujing handed the horse to the soldiers, and walked into the tent, saying: "In Guangdong, on the coast of the Ming Dynasty, there is a Guanghai Weicheng, which was built in the 20th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, and it has been [-] years. It is a fortified city. But nine years ago, a group of Japanese pirates took over there, and the Japanese pirates, the pirates from the Japanese kingdom, are extremely vicious."

"The righteous father was ordered to hunt down the thieves and wipe out all the Japanese pirates in the city. The city was also destroyed by the flames of war. It has been nine years now, no, it has been ten years."

The young General Chen clapped his hands together: "Guess what? Many years ago, the father-in-law felt that it was too difficult to repair the city wall he had broken, so he simply built another city in another place. Guanghaiwei... It's gone. "

"Bordeaux, my city. If it is broken, I need to repair it, so why should I fight?"

your city?
Margaret leaned back slightly with her very masculine hands around her chest, and wrinkled her delicate little nose under her open visor, chewing the three words 'My City' repeatedly, which was very meaningful.

But Chen Jiujing didn't have this kind of awareness. Instead, he pointed to the French sketches he got from Spain hanging in the tent and said: "Next, if Billon comes, what can you do to ensure that they won't fight or defend the city when we leave the city?" Time to turn against us and attack us, is there a way?"

Before Margot could answer, Chen Jiujing asked himself and answered, "There is no way."

"No, they promised me, we have an agreement, they will not go to war."

"Pull it down, you are 26 and seventy-one years old, do you still believe this?" Chen Jiujing laughed at Margo's innocence with wide eyes, and said, "You can reach an agreement with them, and your brother king in Paris can even reach an agreement with them." protocol."

Chen Jiujing waved his hand and said, "Don't say it's impossible. If the agreement works, thousands of people won't die at your wedding, and the war in France won't have to go on until now."

Speaking of these, his words can't help but be ridiculed with contempt: "The rich and powerful use the mouth of the gods to satisfy their own private parties and dissidents, thinking that this can deceive the world, but they don't know that a gentleman is cautious. Can you deceive yourself if you deceive others? ?”

"Soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and if you accidentally fall to the ground, don't think that victory is so easy, you only need to move your lips."

"Ha ha."

Margaret hehe.

She still maintains the movement of crossing her chest with her hands. The bulging and curved breastplate makes her arms a little unnatural. She looks at Chen Jiujing with a sneer: "My general, are you saying that I am old?"

Chen Jiujing:? ? ?

"I've said so much, you just remember when I said you were older?"

At this moment, a letter from Navarra Montauban was sent to the army outside the camp.

The letter was written by Bourbon Henry of Navarre, but not to his wife Margot. The messenger was designated to hand it over to Chen Jiujing, the commander of the Ming army.

Chen Jiujing, who was sitting in the middle of the military tent, was stunned when he heard the words of the prostrating Navarra messenger, and he confirmed with Margaret's eyes in disbelief before accepting the letter presented by the soldiers.

As if knowing that Chen Jiujing didn't understand French, the letter was specially written in Spanish. After reading the letter slowly, Chen Jiujing, who was sitting on the horse with a golden knife, sighed deeply, with mixed emotions in his heart.

He turned his head to look at Margaret, and he could see that the queen was anxious, but she didn't ask him about the contents of the letter, she just got up slowly and took two steps, and asked softly in front of the messenger: "The city of Cahors Are you all right with the king?"

The messenger was a young man who looked like a guard. He raised his head and said, "Queen, the city of Cahors is still under the protection of the King of Navarre. Everything is fine with the King."

After the messenger was taken to rest and drink some hot soup, Chen Jiujing put down the letter, got up and searched the map hanging behind him, and asked Margaret, "You don't want to know what the letter said?"

"If you want me to know." Margaret said easily: "Tell me, if you don't want me to know, it's no good for me to know."

"Your husband captured the city of Cahors three days ago, leaving 3000 soldiers on the garrison, and returned to Montauban to recruit more troops. On the way to Bordeaux, he was left behind by the king's army with a force of [-] men. The army blocked, this letter was written before the war, he thought that Billon was leading the main force to come here."

Chen Jiujing smacked his lips with emotion, thinking whether he should say the following words: "Your husband is a very special person."

"At the end of the letter, he told me that the kingdom of Navarra is so small that the king doesn't know if he can survive the next few days. But if he is lucky enough not to die in the ensuing battle, Navarre will always be The sanctuary of Queen Margot and her loved ones... I have never seen such love and love."
