Chapter 388: War in Europe
Is all the land here for us?
Wang Shan and Zhang Tie are preparing for the war, and they don't have to arrange it in person.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu had free time to arrange the widows of the Samuel family.
Looking at a vast plain being reclaimed and the black slaves working in the fields, the women of the Samuel family exclaimed.
Yes, the land was really too big, almost beyond their imagination.
At the same time, not far away, there is a very Gothic five-story brick and wood manor standing there, and Zhao Hongyu said that this land and the manor will belong to them in the future.
How could this not have left them dumbfounded.
Although Zhao Hongyu promised them that after coming to the American continent, he would give them some land as a foundation for their lives.
But none of these women thought that this land could be big.
In their minds, hundreds of acres are enough, isn't it?
But the land they see today is almost 10,000 acres in size.
There were no less than a thousand black slaves working on it alone.
In addition to these, there are also teams of European guards in the fields, as well as a manor house of luxurious architecture.
"This land is enough for you to live on, and the slaves are given to you, including the guards."
Zhao Hongyu's words made these women so pleasantly surprised.
Sara knew that it was for her sake of face that her little husband would be so generous.
"But half of the proceeds here will go to Sarah."
Zhao Hongyu added a sentence after the most reluctance.
All the women have no objection to this.
Because they all know very well that their backer here in the Americas is Sarah.
And the manor and the land have Sarah's share, then they will have peace of mind in the future.
If those who spy on them want to have any ambitions and ideas, the first thing they have to deal with is Sarah.
But if you want to move Sara, you must face Zhao Hongyu, the ruler of the empire behind her.
So. Their safety is assured.
"The number of black slaves is not enough now, but this year is it, next year you can grow some grain and vegetables to sell, and after making money, you may increase the number of slaves in the next year."
Zhao Hongyu has done his best for them, so he won't arrange everything properly.
These people are not his relatives.
Having done this, he already has a clear conscience.
Of course, the women of the Samuel family are not so aggressive, and they also know what it means to accept what is good and what is counterproductive.
Now that they have gained such a big benefit, what are they not satisfied with?
As long as you work hard, you can see a good life.
So. Everyone expressed their gratitude to Zhao Hongyu.
At the same time, it also reaffirmed the concept of uniting with Sara as the center.
Although they don't say it, they will do it in actual action in the future.
Only if Sara is good, they will be good, everyone understands this truth.
After settling the women of Samuel's family, Zhao Hongyu took Sara out of this place.
He's going to take Sara to Manhattan Island to pick up Emma.
Emma had been staying with her father-in-law for many days, if she didn't show up again. My father-in-law has to pick on it.
So, after Zhao Hongyu settled the women of Samuel's family, he went to Manhattan Island to pick up Emma.
Of course, he will definitely have to stay on the island for a while. After all, he has been away from Manhattan for such a long time, and he has to have a good time with his father-in-law.
It can be said that Zhao Hongyu's life is quite easy.
Compared with Zhao Hongyu, Wang Shan and Zhang Tie are much busier.
They had to contact Quebec and Ontario. Arrange for troops to assemble in Manhattan, and at the same time be careful not to let their intentions leak out, and strengthen the training of those 'Eight Banners' soldiers.
Autumn of 1621. The European continent is in turmoil.
And here in the Americas, too, the clouds of war are brewing.
The French were financed by the combined forces of the Song Empire and Protestantism, and were financially secure.
At the same time, Mary has solved the stumbling block at home, allowing the past to take the greatest control in history, and her next thing to do is to make the royal family more solid through a war.
Yes, what could make the people love the royal family more than a war that could be won?
It is precisely because of this that Mary did not refuse Zhao Hongyu's proposal.
Besides, there are too many benefits for Mary in this war.
The war has not yet begun, and the royal family has already received a large amount of money.
With this money, the royal family's embarrassing financial problems have finally been solved.
A lot of foreign debts have also been repaid.
Although the debt was not fully repaid, Marie believed that as long as she reached Madrid and looted the coffers of the Spanish crown, it would not be difficult for France to settle its debts.
The rebel army on the Portuguese side is a pawn arranged by Zhao Hongyu, and Mary is clear.
Fighting on two fronts, the Spaniards could not achieve the most difficult victory, and Mary had a clear understanding of this.
Besides, the Spaniards still have most of their military territory, and they are still trapped in the Netherlands.
Now is the time when the Spaniards are weak, and it is also a godsend for France.
With the destruction of Spain and the defeat of the Portuguese rebels, France could unite the whole of Western Europe and become a powerful country on the European continent.
When the time comes, your name will go down in history, right?
Mary was also an ambitious person.
It's just that her previous ambition was how to become the real ruler of France and control the power of France.
Now that these wishes of hers have been fulfilled, then she must have a bigger goal, isn't it?
Yes, now her new goal is to expand the territory of France and make herself a great queen who can go down in history.
Finally, on the fifteenth day after Zhao Hongyu returned to Manhattan, that is, half a month later, the French army. Finally crossed the border with Spain.
The move of the French across the border finally took the Spanish royal family by surprise.
Originally, they just thought that the French were just bluffing, and that it was impossible for them to really fight themselves.
After all, if the French did this, the Church and the Holy Roman Empire would not agree to it.
You know, the Spaniards have always been good thugs for the church, so the church won't see itself at a loss, will it?
At the same time, Spain's national strength is now weak, and its military strength is also very weak. It was already very obvious that it was simply impossible to fight the invasion of the French.
Coupled with the uprising and rebellion of the Portuguese, this made the already crumbling Spanish Empire even more unsupportable.
Originally, the Spaniards also wanted to bring back the army from the Netherlands to defend their homeland.
But the selfish church did not agree, which at once plunged the Spaniards into even greater passivity.
If the Spaniard's proposal had been accepted, Portugal's Rano and Pedro would not have had such an easy time in the future.
And Mary will become more cautious and careful.
Perhaps, the Spaniards did not escape this fate.
It's a pity. It's all just imagination.
The war in the Netherlands has reached a stalemate, and the body is in a crisis of fighting on both fronts.
At this time, Spain had no choice but to constantly ask the Vatican for help so that it could 'pull a brother for the sake of years of love'.
At this time, the Vatican was also a little flustered.
Originally, they also thought that France was just for show. Won't really do anything to Spain.
And the Pope also wondered if he was using his lips and empty words to promise some verbal benefits to the French, so that they could withdraw their troops from the border.
But now. Everything has gone beyond what they expected -
Dividing Line –
Lined up! Raise your gun!
In the small city of 'Donde' in southeastern France on the border with the Holy Roman Empire, volunteers from the Americas are fighting with the forces of the Roman Empire.
The equipment of the Holy Spirit of the Roman Empire is still the way of the Spaniards.
Heavily armored cavalry, spearmen, two-handed swordsmen, phalanxes, and a small number of arquebuses.
Such troops. In the eyes of the American Volunteers, it was just a dish.
Somali and Gurkha fighters, dressed in black and white Platoon uniforms, lined up in five horizontal formations and fired in an orderly and unhurried manner.
In the face of the charging ranks of the Holy Roman Empire, you could not see the slightest hint of panic on their faces.
Shoot! Bang!
Shoot! Bang!
The commanders constantly shouted orders and commanded the fighters to pull the trigger.
Every time the cyan smoke rises, the Holy Roman Empire army charging on the opposite side will leave behind a large number of warriors and then retreat like a tide.
No matter what methods and tactics they used, they had no way to attack within 50 meters of the platoon gun ranks of the American Volunteers.
And after they continue to frantically launch reunions, the price they pay is heavy casualties.
Mom!
Help me!
My hands, my hands!
Brother, brother, what's wrong with you. Get up!
Once again, the Holy Luo Empire's charge was repulsed, and without exception, they left behind countless corpses.
Of course, there were some of the 'lucky ones' who didn't die immediately, and they lay there with oozing wails.
"Clean up the battlefield!"
The rapid sound of drums sounded, and a line of genetic soldiers walked in the direction of the sound.
Not! Wow!
Burst!
Burst!
After a while, the muffled sound of a hard object piercing into the body echoed.
In the sky, there were dozens of crows circling, flapping their wings and making unpleasant chirps.
You can't kill me, I'm a nobleman, I'll ransom, I'm ...... Burst...... (To be continued.) )
