82_82988 Surrender before the battle is the most shameful in Huaxia, some generals would rather die in battle than surrender, how can this crab be regarded as a leader of the other party, Chen You couldn't imagine that this guy was like this, kneeling on the ground and crying dad and calling his mother like a bear, so that Chen You also lost the mood to kill him. [The site page is refreshing, there are few ads, I like this kind of website the most, and I must praise it]. The update is so fast.

Under the pope's shout, the four crossbowmen put down their crossbows and rushed to the crab's side, and this barbarian man with a height of one meter and eight meters and a weight of one hundred and eighteen was obediently tied to a rope and led back like his grandson.

Actually, this is not surprising.

Xiang Crab is a nobleman, that is, the early knight class, there are all kinds of rules between the knights, and it is not shameful to surrender if you can't fight, and you pay the ransom to go back and still enjoy the noble lord of the 'woman' of the castle, and he will win back and become famous again in the future.

On the other hand, if Chen You had killed him just now, he would have been greatly despised and laughed at.

In fact, the knight's 'spirit' is far less holy and noble than the Western legend in later generations, what presides over justice, rescues princesses in need, all of them are the imagination of the Europeans themselves during the Renaissance, the real knights, but a group of hormones 'Meng' excess, shouting and shouting all day long, killing and robbing the house to find a way to 'get' money.

During the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France, Britain had enough of looting in devastated France, and even when the British king returned home, he couldn't call his knights, and the British knights who grabbed a large territory in France were not willing to return to China at all, so they abandoned Britain and formed large and small knightly orders to continue to plunder in France, and finally these robbers even surrounded the Holy See, which moved to Avignon, France, at that time, clamoring to attack God's spokesman on earth.

The end result was that Pope Gregory I spit out 100,000 gold coins and gave these English knights a new job to go to Italy to rob.

This also makes the essence of these knights 'revealed'.

Of course, at present, Chen Zhangming and his entourage do not understand the essence of these feudal knights, otherwise the war will be simple.

It was finally fought once, but the war once again fell into a deadlock, the general was captured, and a group of barbarians in the Lumba region had no way to attack, but they were still sticky like dog skin plaster 'medicine' and refused to go, they didn't go, the Min army had to accompany them, and the Fujian army iron horses were yawning in the sun.

Big brother, if you can't fight, if you don't fight, we will have to go back to repair the boat, cook and fish!

stayed up until noon, even Chen Zhangming couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted angrily: "Don't fight, the whole army will start a gang on the spot and eat!"

"General!"

These Chen You are a little anxious, disbanding the queue to eat in front of other cavalrymen, isn't it a bit too desperate? However, looking at his concerns, Chen Zhangming glanced at him towards the city wall.

I don't know when, Yang Xiong has already transferred a dense number of crossbowmen and tiger squatting cannons from the ship, all of them crouching behind the city wall.

Chen You, who was relieved, couldn't help but yawn and jumped off the horse funny.

In order to 'lure' the enemy to come over and eat the head of the row, the expeditionary force was also hard enough, the knives and guns were twisted and thrown to the ground, and the cauldron was really moved from the city, and the fire was lit with firewood, and the unlucky black pig was also pulled out, and the blood was bled and cut into pieces on the spot to prepare for the pot, and on the other hand, the first steaming big steamed bun in the history of the Apennine Peninsula was brought out.

In this way, a group of Lumba barbarians would rather swallow saliva than stare at them below, which really convinced Chen Zhangming.

The fire was blazing, and the soldiers of the expeditionary force were waiting for the chef with their heads in their hands, and pieces of local black pig 'meat' were thrown into the boiling water.

But after only one bite, the soldier spit back in disgust.

The pigs of this era can be different from the white fat and white fat pastoral pigs bred in China after more than 1,000 years, the European black pig eats everything, grows fast, is easy to feed, and has a lot of lean "meat", but the "meat" is also similar to its ancestor wild boar, and the fishy smell is particularly difficult to eat.

Looking at a group of pigs looking for food in the dung heap every day, it is not difficult to guess.

Listening to the shouting of the unlucky soldier, the chubby chef was also distressed, and he slipped back to the city, and after a while, a small bag was taken out by him with a smile, and a large handful of pepper 'meat' cinnamon cardamom was thrown into the soup by him without hesitation.

In this scene, the eyes of the crab who watched it were straight.

With a snort, the crab jumped up, three steps and two steps knocked the Min army chef to the head, and the Min army, who was waiting for dinner, immediately became angry, grabbed this guy and hit his head and face, and was beaten straight hum, and the crab still arched his body and desperately arched towards the pocket.

The scene of 'chaos' and 'chaos' in the army led Chen Zhangming and Eugene I over, looking at the generals who shouted and shouted to kill, Chen Zhangming couldn't help but wrinkle dissatisfied, and immediately shouted.

"Stop it!"

The majesty of the general is unique, listening to Chen Zhangming's roar, more than a dozen Min troops who were just like tigers immediately scattered like small 'chickens', and one of the military leaders pointed to the crab with a blue nose and swollen face and explained to Chen Zhangming with a slight annoyance.

"General, this barbarian beat us cook!"

It was briskly opened, and the nosebleed arched in front of the bag of spices, but the crab also kowtowed, and screamed in Latin that even Latins couldn't understand.

"General Chen, Baron Palermo said that as long as this bag of pepper was given to him, he would like to go down the mountain to persuade those people to surrender, and he swore by the ancestors of his Palermo family."

"Pepper?"

Surprised, he glanced at the most common seasoning in the Fujian country, and then looked at Pope Eugene I, who was a little envious, Chen Zhangming, who really couldn't figure it out, scratched his head in distress, and then asked.

"Your Majesty, do you think it is credible?"

"Credible! Believable! Absolutely credible! ”

The old head almost didn't turn it into an alarm clock, and Eugene nodded before he took the lǜ test.

Although he agreed, Chen Zhangming was still skeptical, watching the crab excitedly like the green smoke from the ancestral tomb, holding the bag of 'mixing' spices and running down the mountain, more than 100 heavy cavalry on horseback gathered together to discuss, and they all jumped off their horses and shouted at the black pressure infantry behind them, the former immediately scattered, and the latter ran up excitedly as if they saw the organization.

"Is this all right?"

After more than ten years of fighting, Chen Zhangming has never seen the scene of a bag of seasonings breaking through thousands of enemies, and his jaw almost fell off in shock.

Hot. Naya turned the corner, although he was confused, but Chen Zhangming, who had a pimple in his heart, finally learned wisely, and asked people to bring up the Count of Creed, who was still digging the sewers, and after rubbing it well with the brush of the horse, he took the Rumba knights who abandoned the darkness and turned to the light today, and held a banquet.

Braised fish, braised 'meat', braised beans braised lion's head, a table of red and good dishes plus strong wine and steamed buns, more than a hundred Lombard aristocrats did not have the slightest aristocratic model, and they almost swallowed their fingers when they ate, and at the banquet, Chen Zhangming and Yang Xiong finally understood what kind of country they had arrived.

The unified regime of the Roman Empire collapsed under the 'tide' of barbarian invasions, and was replaced by a barbarian politics based on tribes, a political pattern that laid the foundation for thousands of years of political development in the West.

Western feudalism is a real feudal, layer upon layer of loyalty, a baron and a knight are the smallest feudal lords, they have their own territory, or a village, or a small town, and then they are loyal to the big feudal lords, just like Count Frederick, and finally get all the feudal lords' allegiance, it is the king, in such a political environment, the king's rights are compared to the Chinese emperor, small and pitiful, because he is only a more powerful feudal lord.

There is a famous proverb in the West, a vassal of my vassals, not my vassals, which says exactly this.

And the people who came to attack the city today are the vassals of the Count of Scarlet Trench, saying that there are more than 10,000 troops, in fact, there are more than 100 people here who can really fight, and there are four or five hundred of their knights, and the rest are villagers from various territories, come and watch the excitement, these knights are smooth, they can also follow the stronger things, if the Fujian cavalry rushes down as soon as possible, their spectacular army of 10,000 will immediately have to be scattered.

Originally, more than 100 knights thought that the pirates had captured ******, and in this era, this thing was not unusual, so they brought all their belongings to save their lords, and they also looked at the thousands of 'elite' soldiers in Fujian with a force of five or six hundred people.

It is also the characteristics of this aristocratic politics, the country's emotions are light, who has thick 'legs' and gives more silver, these nobles will have no shame and scruples at all, and will not hesitate to hug them.

There is another point that Chen Zhangming understands, that is, the pepper in his hand here is by no means the price of the stall in Fujian, he has seen the pig 'meat' in Europe, the smell is stinky, not to mention them outsiders, the locals are a little unaccustomed to eating, there is no strong spice pressing, it is difficult to swallow at all, and the sheep 'meat' is not strong enough, southerners should know that the smell of goats is very strong.

In the "meat" category, the beef "meat" is better, delicate, and has no peculiar smell, which is also the reason why the western beef "meat" is so popular in later generations.

The problem is that the cattle still have to plow the fields, and even the king does not have to eat the 'meat' of the cow every day, and sooner or later he still has to eat the 'meat' of pigs and sheep, and such a difficult 'meat' to swallow naturally needs a lot of spices to be marinated to cover up such a strong peculiar smell.

The second problem comes out, Europe does not produce spices, what 'meat' cinnamon, cardamom, pepper, Europe does not have, has always relied on the East India, through the Byzantine Empire import, now Byzantium, Arabia, Fujian in the Middle East war, this import is also from time to time.

Thousands of miles away, a grain of pepper on the top of a gold coin, even pepper to pay the bill than gold coins have face, just the crab this bag of pepper thrown over, even a big nobleman's 'daughter' is willing to obediently open to you big 'legs', of course, in this era of no bathing, you can bear the smell.

Looking at the crab holding Pepperle's fart, and then looking at the harbor in the distance, the Fujian fleet that had hit at least half a boatload of Pepper, Chen Zhangming and Yang Xiong's heads suddenly brightened.
