"What are we going to do?"

Some Swiss panicked.

Surrender to the infidels? How is this possible? Not to mention the employer's ......

All the Swiss saw André Conte, who had fainted from being suspended from a long pole.

"Damn, why didn't you kill them?" The rise of killing, Bao Yin, who was still holding the heads of the two Greeks in his hands, punched Qin Cang angrily. At least for now, Bao Yin completely regarded the Han Department as the joint property of his husband and wife with Qin Cang. However, the difference in concept will still make Qin Cang and Baoyin have a longer way to go.

For example, now, Qin Cang wants to force the Swiss to surrender, but Baoyin doesn't care. She saw the iron armor of the Swiss, and the long iron spear. In Bao Yin's eyes, killing the captives and seizing their property was a matter of course. And even more so with the rich captives.

"Who told you to kill them!" Qin Cang was taken aback, what is Baoyin doing, is it killing people?

Bao Yin's nose twisted, and his eyes were about to roll in his sockets. This bastard Han is kind enough to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs!

"That's not what I meant..... You see, these people are all laborers. We need people in our mines and farmland. Qin Cang couldn't help but laugh and grabbed Baoyin, who turned around and was about to run, so that he finally left people behind.

And here, Ham made a request.

"Glorious surrender."

Glorious surrender?

"Anyone else mentioning this medieval?" Qin Cang couldn't help but complain.

Although she didn't know what the Middle Ages were, Bao Yin asked, "What is Glorious Surrender?" ”

"It's a way to surrender. It's just that you don't pay anything, you don't pay anything. Slave is right? Qiao Su actually arrived. She was still wearing her regular clothes, except that she had an extra musket in her hand.

This is a heavy arquebus that is very heavy. The trigger appears underneath the arquebus, indicating that the musket is a recent model. And the appearance of the trigger, etc., also marked the completion of the basic form of the musket. The muskets of today and the hand cannons of the past are already on their own side.

There was supposed to be a bracket with the musket, but it seems that the Spaniards probably didn't know where to forget.

"Glorious surrender, generally from the side of Western Europe. When it is difficult to crush, and you don't want to spend time on them, or when you have a lot of respect for your opponent, you will offer a glorious surrender. For example, the Saxons once fought against the French in a coalition of the Holy Roman Empire, but the coalition was defeated, and most of the princes ran as fast as they could. Only the Saxons and Silesians were the only two armies in the back.

The French, eager to pursue the enemy, demanded that the Saxons get out of the way, but the Saxons refused. The French then allowed the Saxons to surrender in honor, leaving with their equipment and flags. Guess what the Saxons did? ”

Qin Cang was halfway through speaking, and suddenly asked Baoyin.

"Let's go! Hurry up, what else do you want? Bao Yin said as a matter of course.

That's right, that's the style of the steppe peoples. If you can't beat it, you can run, and there is no sense of honor or disgrace. The Tatars don't care about shame, and selling teammates or something is commonplace.

Qiao Su didn't speak, leaving the space for Qin Cang to speak.

"Not really. The Saxons shouted 'The lion will never bow his head', and then broke the banner of the black dragon that had been passed down from generation to generation. Since then, their banners have been changed to golden lions. Qin Cang said with some wistfulness.

"Then the last group of Sa'...... What about the Saxons? ”

"Of course he died on the way to intercept the French."

Qin Cang's words made Baoyin a little difficult to understand. Why the desperate interception? Why not hurry up? Why not accept the surrender of glory that is still decent?

This may be the cultural gap.

And looking at Qin Cang's embarrassed appearance, Baoyin seemed to understand the thoughts of this group of Han people for the first time.

"I will not agree to their glorious surrender. Tell him that they can re-sign a contract with me, and that I will hire them to serve me, and the commission can be gold coins or the land here. They can't get out of here! That's the bottom line. ”

Qin Cang asked the Greeks to go back and report.

"Whew....... OK. But it can't be lower than Andre Conte's price. No, I'm going to talk about it personally. Ham agreed to Qin Cang's proposal in the expectant gazes of the mercenaries around him. Don't think too much about the poor.

Ham put down his halberd and followed the Greeks out of the Swiss hedgehog formation.

"What's your name?" Qin Cang asked the Greeks.

This Greek was about forty or fifty years old, and his rounded face was more distinctive than that of the Greeks, indicating that he was probably of Turkic ancestry, also known as the Tekopo.

"I ...... My name is Urels......"

"Very well, Urels, you translate for me. You ask him, how much does he take every month in the hands of that Genoese merchant? ”

Uriels asked truthfully.

Ham thought for a moment and said, "We'll take four florins a month." There were a hundred of us, and of course there were less than a hundred now. In addition, Andre Conte owes us two months' salary. ”

That's eight hundred florins. If you convert it to the Eastern Roman Empire's Heperon, you will have a 3,000 gold coins!

This mercenary is really expensive......

"Urels, you ask him, how about I pay them for half land and half gold? I could give them two florins per person a month, and then five acres of land each. Qin Cang felt sorry for his meager cash box, so he decided to change the land to pay the honorarium.

The price of land in the Eastern Roman Empire was one (Roman land unit, which was approximately equal to one-twelfth hectare, or 1.5 acres. In fact, there are also studies that prove that this standard is calculated by output, let's just calculate it by area. Now about thirty or forty of the land of Hyperon and Modi. Poor places, of course, need to lower prices. However, in Italy, next door to Ham's hometown, land prices are only high. And Switzerland, sorry, is very little land-poor.

Therefore, it is still more cost-effective to exchange half of the commission for five acres of land in a year. And Qin Cang also hopes to be able to keep this group of Swiss, he needs an infantry instructor. And Leader Ham looks like a good fit.

You can see from the reaction and the level of elite of the Swiss that these Swiss are really elite.

And for the Swiss, the distribution of land is an excellent thing. And the days of eating military salaries while having land are hard to come by.

"Yes! OK! Ham was very excited to agree to Qin Cang's conditions.

So, the Swiss cheered and stayed in Chizhou.

Although they lost seven companions.

"Oh yes. Ham, one more thing. ”

"What? My lord? ”

"Doesn't that bastard owe you military pay? Go get it from the loot. Two months' military pay can get a lot of things. ”
