It was dusk when the bright ship appeared on the coast of Bordeaux again, and the sunset sprinkled a layer of bright red on the sparkling coast.

The first fleet arrived was huge. Four Spanish Grand Garen, more than 800 tons, were wearing the flag of the French Valois royal family. The huge sails covered the sky and the sun were roaring with copper light cannons like four flying castles.

Behind the four Spanish spearmen, armoured and armored, the Musketeers' main battleship, twelve classic Clarks followed closely. This fleet from Spain was loaded with sailors and soldiers, following the ups and downs of the sea waves getting closer and closer to the Bordeaux coast.

It was so close that the workers in dirty burlap shirts on the fortress in western Bordeaux raised their heads and shouted loudly for the uninvited guests who suddenly appeared on the sea.

The gaps in the front wall of the fortress and the loose bricks and stones that caused the entire castle to be loose due to the explosion brought great difficulties to the repair project. In order to repair this extremely important coastal fortifications, the Bordeaux paid a higher price than being looted by Chen Jiujing.

Especially in the chaotic situation, it is difficult for workers who are willing to work hard to gather, and it is even more difficult for aristocrats and monks who are keen on politics to do the job of architects.

But this Spanish fleet, which was flying the French royal flag, was very lawful. Their commander Toledo, sent his army monks to row out three small boats with letters to come to the shore to negotiate, saying that he was invited by the Valois royal family to assist the royal family.

"Don't be afraid, we just want to dock and rest for a day, buy some food and water in the port, and then continue to head north."

The monks from Spain looked convinced, but the gates of Bordeaux were locked, and the gentlemen discussed in the city for nearly an hour, and finally agreed to the Spanish army to rest outside the city.

Of course, people don't believe the nonsense of this army called Toledo, and it doesn't matter whether the words are true or false. The Spanish army's dispersed military discipline is as loud as their name is the No. 1 Army in the European continent, but they really have no choice.

The majority of the city is still Catholics, while the Huguenots account for only 30%, which is actually very high, and only one-sixth of the French Protestants in the entire world.

One in six means that there is one Huguenot in every six people. Catholics were born from the womb, while Protestants developed later. It is already very terrifying to be able to occupy this proportion.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the late Qing Dynasty was far smaller than this number.

The more cohesive Protestants were more like secret associations. In this general direction, Catholics made the decision. What they asked them to make this decision was a count in the city who was captured by the Xiyong Camp during the battle half a year ago. He said, "What are you afraid of? Marshal Billon's army is in the Dordogne River forty miles away, and go to inform him."

The Li he mentioned is Fari, which is close to the Spanish Rig, and one Fari is nearly eight miles in Ming.

It was less than four hundred miles away, not far away, not near, they had time to recruit defenders. Even if the Spaniards wanted to attack Bordeaux, they had enough time to defend until Marshal Billon led their troops to come.

This is their only confidence.

Otherwise, what else can be done? They can imagine what consequences will mean by rejecting the Spanish's request. Promise them to rest on the spot may avoid fighting, but if they do not agree, it will definitely cause a catastrophe to Bordeaux.

After all, the Spanish army was notoriously disarrayed and started to madly grab their own towns, let alone France's towns.

The Spanish army is terrifying, but for Bordeaux, which was just destroyed by Chen Jiujing half a year ago, the Spanish Grand Garen ship is even more terrifying at sea.

The Ming and Western War only increased the momentum of the Ming Dynasty in Europe, and did not hurt Spain's reputation in Europe... There were few fools in the European power who had dawned in the Middle Ages, and no one thought all day long, "I can do it if the Ming Dynasty is good," especially France.

The Duke of Gith in the north had the Spanish Legion under his command, which was the capital of his three-legged rivalry with King Henry and Navarra Henry. I haven't heard of anyone beating that legion on the battlefield, so this legion would naturally not work.

The commander of the Toledo Legion led his subordinates to hum a small song and play a drum, and headed out of Bordeaux under the guidance of the flagbearer and the priests.

Toledo was born in the Spanish Masta class, which is the Spanish nomadic aristocrat in the Ming army's concept. He was not only a beloved legion commander but also a sophisticated warrior, and has always served the Spanish mainland on the Iberian Peninsula.

His legion was formed seven years ago. After learning from the lessons of the Ming and Western War last year, the Duke of Alva of the New World passed the lessons of the Ming and Western War and sent a summary report to the country. Under the auspices of King Philip, the Toledo Legion was one of the three first legions to implement reforms. The Ming army uniforms that Chen Mu gave to Alvana to equip a company were also transferred to his command.

The Toledo Legion strengthened the proportion of musketeers. In addition to the conventional two light and heavy musketeers mixed companies, the spearmen of the other three companies were replaced as the musketeers mixed company, so even the square formations arranged were different from the past.

In the past, the musketeers were at four corners, and the large square formation in the middle was mixed with spearmen and sword and shield infantry. Now the musketeers are still at four corners, and the square formation in the middle is four spear companies, three musketeers and one sword and shield company mixed with each other, which significantly increases the proportion of musketeers not wearing helmets.

The Spanish musketeers' equipment does not wear armor except muskets, swords and daggers. They only wear a high-top helmet to protect their heads. However, there is also a kind of musketeers who do not wear helmets and only wear a soft hat decorated with feathers. They are heavy musketeers.

Carrying a heavy musket that is 1.4 meters long and weighing 18 kilograms, and then hang up twenty rounds of ammunition in a wooden barrel. Don’t underestimate the weight of twenty rounds of ammunition. Each cartridge weighs one kilogram and four kilograms. Each heavy musketeer has a full body of forty kilograms, not counting other equipment.

It is obviously a tough thing for them to wear armor.

Toledo followed Chen Jiujing under the order of the king. One was to shoulder the hope of the palace and find the secret of the Ming army's strength in Chen Jiujing's troops... He had found that this mission could not be achieved. Who would have thought that Chen Jiujing used Spanish mercenaries to fight?

However, he could still achieve the second purpose and sell the wool better. This year, his family hired an "accountant" from the Ming Dynasty. In fact, the accountant could only speak skillful Chinese and weigh wool with a weight. But because of hiring him, the family sold more than 30,000 beautiful slave sheep.

He also received a hundred silk gifts from Li Dan.

Now the commander of the Toledo Legion did not know what he could get in this war, but he knew that it would be absolutely impossible to get along well with Chen Jiujing, so even Chen Jiujing put Margaret in clothes that only men could wear, and obediently led his troops to block all the southward roads of Bordeaux.

Because on the southern coast of Bordeaux, the blue sail warships that scared the generation of Europa navigators were slowly docking, and teams of ingenious soldiers set foot on this land.

Their leader Chen Jiujing rode on the back of a Persh horse that looked like a monster. He held his spear and slowly stole the horse, took off the Nanyang iron armor and showed a smiling face. He immediately looked at the knight beside him and put his whole body in a special iron sheet. He smiled and said, "Oh, it's strange. I've only been here once, but why do I feel like I'm going home after getting off the boat?"/14_14088/
