"The bounty for a rebel is £20, and I can give you 30 rebels, so that you don't have to fight!"

The young man was reluctant to ask for Ernst's money, but he was still willing to change it to the rebels, after all, he knew the value of 600 pounds, but at this time he remembered something......

"That, the other ......"

Count Bonaroti knew that he was asking about the merits of the other young men in the town, to which Count Bonaroti smiled and said, "I will pay them in full." ”

10 pounds each for the rest of the town's youths was enough to make them very happy, after all, the rebels were also heading for the town, and even if there was no bounty, they would have to defend it desperately, which is why the town decided to give the bounty to André and his party.

If it weren't for them, the town might have fallen, and at that time, not to mention the bounty, it was a question of whether one's life and wealth could be saved.

It's like two armies fighting, on the one hand, you invite reinforcements, don't you pay some hiring fees for other people's reinforcements? Not even the cost of hiring, along with the cleaning of the war, needs to be done by the family.

Now that there is no mercenary money, then the bounty is the only thing that the town can come up with, where will they feel unfair and reluctant?

"Are you interested in leaving with me?"

Ernst's words were addressed to the young man, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the young man, for the first time in his life, such an invitation could not help but be excited.

Andrei and Count Bonarroti both looked at Ernst with some confusion, and it was obvious that they wondered why Ernst had chosen to invite a young man from Ne to stay with him.

"I, can I?"

Until now, he didn't have a job, just working as a helper in a small town for a small salary, but it also shows his character.

Seeing the unconfident appearance of the young man, Ernst couldn't help but smile: "Of course, I always mean what I say, if you are interested, you can learn from Andrei is the commander of your town for a while, and you can stay by my side and be responsible for my safety in the future." ”

Being able to single-handedly capture the cunning fox Masena can also show that he is extraordinary, plus he has a good character and is trustworthy, so it is most suitable to stay by his side.

"I do, I do!"

The young man was very happy, although he had a mother in the town, he also had two younger brothers, even if he left, it would not affect anything, and even his mother and two younger brothers would be very happy.

After questioning, Ernst learned that the young man was called Tharlo, Talo Balbo, and his grandfather was a famous hunter in Florence, and he also inherited some of his grandfather's skills, so he was able to capture the cunning fox Massena.

"What about you, Mr. Massena the Fox. ”

"Me?"

Looking at the surprised cunning fox Massena, Ensette nodded: "That's right, it's you, if you are willing to follow me, then I am willing to let the Kingdom of Italy exempt you from being wanted." ”

Having such an opportunity, the cunning fox Massena was naturally happy, but he was a little skeptical: "You are just a prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, you are capable?" ”

The foxy Massena only knew that Ernst was a prince, but his exact identity was not clear, so he was very puzzled about it until ......

"My father is Archduke Ferdinand, Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire!"

"Fi, Archduke Ferdinand?"

The cunning fox Massena did not know the internal affairs of Archduke Ferdinand, after all, he had never been to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, so he did not know that Archduke Ferdinand was real, but he was a prince with a lot of water and had no inheritance rights at all.

Seeing the dumbfounded fox, Massena, Ernst couldn't help but smile and said, "Now you have no doubt about my words!" ”

The cunning fox Massena shook his head, where is the reason for such a character to invite himself to refuse? Therefore, he nodded hurriedly and said, "If you want, the future Massena will be your most loyal servant." ”

Soon, as soon as Ernst was about to speak, Andrei, who was on the side, finally found an opportunity and hurriedly said, "There is something to report to you, Lord Earl. ”

Seeing Andrei, who was a little anxious, Ernst nodded although he was a little puzzled, and then Andrei talked about Cosimo.

"There was a young man in the town, the nephew of old Bazali, who wanted to leave with us......"

"Old Bazali's nephew? Old Bazali agrees? ”

Hearing this, Andre smiled bitterly: "He chooses to persevere, and he is indeed a very talented little guy who meets our standards." ”

Speaking of the standard, André couldn't help but glance at the young man of Mune, and it was obvious that he thought that since Ernst was able to keep Talo Balbo of Mune by his side, then the more talented Cosimo should have no problem.

But......

"I'm sorry Andrei, I can't agree to this, not for other reasons, but I can't take his nephew without the permission of old Bazali."

The Count of Bonaroti was also on his side, but it was inconvenient for him to speak about such a thing, even if he did not quite agree with Ernst's words, in his opinion Cosimo was fully capable of calling the shots.

"Cosimo is a good lad and he's at his age and can make his own decisions."

The only thing Count Bonaroti, who knew Cosimo, could do to help him was to give him a very good evaluation, and Ernst had no choice but to change his attitude.

"Let him convince old Bazali! It only takes old Bazali to agree, then I have no opinion. ”

This is the final condition given by Ernst, André nodded and turned to leave, the Italian king's affairs do not know when the result will be, it is better to let Cosimo convince the old Bazali as soon as possible.

Watching André leave, Ernst set his eyes on Count Bonaroti, and saw his gaze without opening his mouth to understand what Ernst meant.

"There has been a general conclusion that the assassination by the anarchists may have something to do with the defeat of the Italian army at the Ethiopian army at the Battle of Adwa in 1896. Social instability itself was caused by economic reasons, and it was not surprising that His Majesty Umberto I signed a military deployment to attack the Manchus together with the eight countries of Britain, the United States and France, which caused dissatisfaction among the anarchists. ”

Ernst's mind couldn't help but be cleared by the words of Count Bonaroti, the military deployment of eight countries to attack the Manchus? Isn't this the famous Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of China?

In the confusion, this is the first major event that Ernst has experienced in this world, although he did not personally participate in it, but he can be regarded as half of the participants, because among them is Austria-Hungary, as the second son and prince of the Austro-Hungarian crown prince, how can it be said that he has nothing to do with him?

In the previous life, he was a descendant of Yan and Huang, but in this life he wanted to become a member of the royal family of one of the invaders, which cannot but be said to be a kind of irony, although there was a very awkward feeling in his heart, but in fact there was nothing.

Although he has memories of his past life, he is now Prince of Hohenberg of the Austro-Hungarian Empire - Franz Ernst, Count of Moravia of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

As a prince and count of Austria-Hungary, Ernst now has to take care of Austria-Hungary first in all interests, and perhaps because of his previous life, he will give priority to taking care of the country that is about to be plagued by disasters without infringing on his own interests.

"His Royal Highness Prince Ernst?"

"Well, I suddenly heard about that eastern country, and I was a little distracted."

smiled and explained that he was distracted just now, but when he heard this, the Count of Bonarroti smiled and said something about Huaxia, and the Countess of Mosetti next to him obviously also had some opinions about Huaxia, and the others saw this appearance and quietly retreated and left the space for the two masters and distinguished guests.

The other servants had nothing to do when they left, except for the cunning fox Massena, who took a deep look at Ernst, and although he didn't know why, he always felt that Ernst was a little sensitive to that mysterious country in the East.

"The Manchus were a big country and very rich."

"There is gold and silver everywhere, especially silk and porcelain, my God, and that is what extraordinary people were able to create Ali, and the beauty is incomparable."

Wealth is the Count's strength, and beauty is the Countess's evaluation, for which Ernst could not help but smile bitterly, how could they have seen the calamities and poverty there?

"This time we Italy and Austria-Hungary are both supporting players, after all, we have less than one-fiftieth of the number of soldiers in England."

Seeing that Ernst was a little puzzled, Count Bonaroti explained with a smile: "The number of soldiers in the Austro-Hungarian Army is 50, our Italian is 80, and the British Army is 10,000, and the French and American are less than 3,000, of which Japan has the most, with more than 20,000 people. ”

"Count Bonaroti is well aware of the affairs of the Manchus."

At the same time, Ernst was also a little puzzled by the fact that Count Bonarroti knew so much, to which the Count Bonarroti explained: "My cousin is the Italian commander, and these are some small talk contents in the letter. ”
