Chapter 72 is very fruitful
"Didn't know when your reinforcements would arrive?"
Queen Mary asked unforgivingly, her ruddy face turned a little pale, and her smooth white forehead was covered with some sweat, which showed how anxious she was.
"Huh! It's up to His Majesty the King to decide! ”
The Lord Regent and the other ministers, who were listening carefully to the conversation, suddenly had a disappointed look on their faces, and they couldn't stop sighing.
"But! I still think that you and your ministers will drive out that odious group of Englishmen! God will bless Scotland! “””
Marshall. Baron Woisel had a sincere look on his face, giving the impression that what he said was said from the heart, and you should believe him.
"I lend you good luck! I think God will bless Scotland! ”
When Queen Mary heard these comforting words, her heart finally felt better, and the expression on her face looked much softer.
After the French ambassador left, the faces of everyone in the palace were still as serious and heavy as before.
"Your Majesty! I think it's better to have Her Majesty the Abbey of Moholm! ”
"There is a place where the light of the Lord shines, and it is so hidden that it is not easy for the English to find it."
Moholm Abbey is a monastery tucked away in the mountains and forests on the seaside not far from Edinburgh.
Edinburgh is a port city, so there are many ships near the port, and it is convenient to leave Scotland from there, and Queen Mary is safe to stay there.
"Yes! In order not to fall into the hands of the English, it is okay not to marry that sick man of England, and to be wronged! ”
Queen Mary said through gritted teeth, apparently saying something very different from what she had in mind.
"Since Her Majesty the Queen Mother has approved it, it is better to send Her Majesty to the Moholm Monastery today!"
Count Aaron said with a serious face, with a stern and unleashed feeling, and everyone present felt that the former high-spirited regent had returned.
"Good! I'll arrange it right away in a minute! Queen Mary agreed.
"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, and all the ministers, through this war, I feel that we in Scotland will not be able to defeat the English!"
"So? What do you mean? Queen Mary couldn't help but interject when she saw Count Aaron belittle her side.
"I believe that only the French can defeat the English at the present time, so I propose that Her Majesty marry François, Dauphin of France, to strengthen our relationship with France! Then we will be in peace forever in Scotland! ”
Looking at the Earl's subdued speech, the whole person looked very excited, and it seemed that he was stimulated by the defeat of this war!
Regardless of what everyone thought in their hearts, the Lord Regent, Count Aaron, who was speaking, was very excited, and he was excited that he had come up with a good idea.
Suddenly, everyone looked at Queen Mary, after all, she had the most say in this matter.
"Okay! OK! The marriage between Marie and Dauphin François can be agreed, for the sake of Scotland, I think Marie is willing! ”
In fact, Queen Mary was willing to return her daughter to France for education, especially since her father and brother were both powerful ministers in France, and they were in high positions.
And marrying the French prince, she thought it was the best choice for Mary.
Queen Mary put Queen Mary in the position of a sacrifice, winning the sympathy of the Scots for Queen Mary. This has cleared many obstacles for her to be pro-government in the future.
With the consent of the regent and the queen mother, the rest of the people could only agree.
At this time, after half a day of searching, the cavalry returned to the camp happily, each with several large bags, and the expressions on their faces were even happier than that of marrying their daughters-in-law.
Looking at the cavalry who were fully loaded, the Earl of Wellington and many knights also grinned one by one, with a smile on their faces that could not be hidden.
The old gentleman who was staying on the side felt uncomfortable at this time, and more than 10,000 citizens also watched with tears in their eyes how the cavalry slowly moved out of the city gate.
"Dear Mr. Councillor, you can inform the citizens to return to the city!"
Mr. Earl's words at this time were like a rain watering a dry wheat field in Mr. Tesla's heart, but it was the devil's charity.
With tears in their eyes, Mr. Councillor and the citizens returned to their home, which was washed with water. The cavalrymen had a bit of a conscience, and did not take their food, but finally gave some comfort to the townspeople.
The Earl of Wellington and the knights returned to the camp, which was said to be a camp, but in fact it was just a clearing surrounded by a wooden fence.
From time to time, the Earl stared at the literate knights and counted the horsemen's gains.
Quite simply, because the cavalry were taking things of value, the copper and silver coins, as well as the rarer gold coins, were distributed according to weight.
And those antiques, porcelain! Tea leaves, etc., are simply a number for the knights, and then give it three layers of value, anyway, those cavalry don't know the real value, and the knights will exploit them at will.
For the sake of money, the knights exerted their speed of two hundred percent, and in less than an hour, under the calculation of thirty knights, all the goods were basically disposed of.
"Lord Earl! After calculation, we could get about 30,000 pounds worth of silver coins this time, and about 1,000 antiques, worth about 10,000 pounds, but it was difficult to sell them into pounds. ”
Hearing the knight beside him say the numbers in a surprised tone, the Earl smiled happily.
"Coupled with the 5,000 pounds sent that time, we have harvested a total of 35,000 pounds this time, and there are antiques worth tens of thousands of dollars, which is really a good time for a bumper harvest!"
"This time, more than 400 of you knights will each go and get three hundred pounds worth of silver coins, and then give them to His Excellency Duke Edward for fifteen thousand pounds, and help me pack the rest!"
"Yes! Lord Earl! The knight agreed without blinking an eye, and reported to the Earl that it was the knight of the Wellington family, who had been loyal to the Wellington family for generations, and was very trusted by the Earl of Wellington.
"Pick up some of the precious ones for the rest of the antiques! The rest were handed over to the Duke of Somerset in my name, and I said that I would thank him as a thank you! ”
"Yes!" When the knight heard this, he departed to complete the task commanded by the count.
Three days passed in a flash. On this day, early in the morning, the Earl of Wellington, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by his attendants and got up to welcome the arrival of Duke Edward.
Standing outside the camp, the Earl felt the earth shake, and not far away there was a thumping sound, and a large puff of smoke rushed in.
The Earl knew that it was the Duke of Edward who had arrived with the rest of the English army, as well as more than 10,000 Scottish prisoners.
Soon, Lord Earl saw the figure of Duke Edward, and Lord Duke also saw Lord Wellington, so he galloped on!
