My British Empire

  Chapter 66 We promise not to take a wool

   "Brothers in the city! You are not selling your life to someone! Our English army also needs you!"

   "As long as you surrender to us, there will be countless beauties and gold!"

   "We will be a family in the future. If you resist now, your queen will not spare you in the future!"

   "As long as you surrender to us, we will not take a single wool from you!"

   "If you resist, we will let you know what massacre is!..."

  Earl Wellington stood in the distance, watching the somewhat wretched soldier shouting loudly.

  Because he was far away, he didn't hear the wretched man's words of persuasion, but he looked carefully, and the soldiers at the top of the city were whispering to each other, which was very lively!

  After careful inducement and coercion by the wretched man, the high suspension bridge was lowered by the Scots in less than half an hour.

   Soon, an old man in his fifties came out from the suspension bridge. He was well dressed, his snow-white hair and beard were combed cleanly, and he looked very energetic.

   Behind him, dozens of soldiers came out pushing a few carts of sacks. And most of these dozens of soldiers are old, weak, sick and disabled, ranging from thirteen-year-old dolls to forty or fifty-year-old old men, wearing the skins of soldiers, without the appearance of soldiers.

   Seeing an old man and dozens of old, weak, sick and disabled, the cautious Earl of Wellington boldly brought more than a hundred guards to the city gate.

   "My lord! I am Tesla Beslaka, a member of the Huntington Presbyterian Church. On behalf of the residents of Huntington, I would like to welcome Your Excellency the General!"

   "Mr. Tesla is so polite! You really understand the righteousness!"

   "These are some gold coins prepared by the residents of Huntington for the generals and warriors, to reward the guests who came from afar!"

   "You are so polite, I am the Earl of Wellington, the commander-in-chief of this army!"

  Mr. Truss's tone was very cautious and respectful, and he pointed to the carts of cloth bags behind him with both hands.

  Earl Wellington couldn't help shrinking his eyeballs, tilting his neck, and looked at the carts of sacks behind him.

   "I just hope that the earl will keep his promise. These are some of our respects. We will send the rest in a few days when we raise them!"

"Here is 5,000 francs worth 5,000 pounds. Because most of them are Aiju and River, it seems very cumbersome!" Can rule the roost in Scotland.

  Because of the long-term alliance between Scotland and France, there are many French currencies in the territory, and Scotland does not have the same centralized minting power as England. The currency system in the territory is extremely chaotic, and the silver content cannot be said.

  At that time, 100 copper coins were equivalent to one franc silver coin, called "river", and the value was one pound of silver. The large silver coin "Aiju" with a denomination of 3 francs and the gold coin Pistor with a denomination of 10 francs are commonly used currencies. Among them, there are also currencies such as "Shuangaiju", "Half Pistor" and "Double Pistor". Because of the relatively high silver content and the strength of the country, French currency was widely used by Europa merchants.

   "Don't bother so much, Mr. Congressman, we will pick it up in person!"

  Earl Wellington hastily declined, as if a little sorry.

   "But Lord Earl, didn't you promise not to take a single wool from us?"

   "Really? When did I say that! Someone must have misrepresented it!"

  Seeing that the old gentleman's face suddenly turned pale, as miserable as the white snow in winter, the Earl's words took another turn, and he said softly.

   "However, since someone has passed it on like this, and everyone believes that I said it, then I will keep this promise!"

   "Thank you so much! Dear Earl, may God bless you!"

  Mr. Tesla was nervous and excited, and his body was a bit overwhelmed.

   "Okay! Mr. Congressman, hurry up and ask all the residents to come out!"

   "What?" The old man couldn't believe it.

   "Mr. Congressman, I promise I won't take a single wool of yours, so all you Huntingtonites come out!"

   "We won't hurt you, but sir, you have to tell those citizens that you can't bring a copper coin out, or you will bear the consequences!"

  Seeing Earl Wellington's determined expression and his unquestionable tone, the MP still kept his words in his stomach.

  People have to bow their heads under the eaves! Looking at the frightened soldiers behind him, he knew that he had no right to bargain.

   Having no choice but to go back and inform the citizens in Huntington, the old congressman.

   Fortunately, Mr. Truss' prestige is quite high. In less than two hours, more than 10,000 citizens in the entire Huntington City left their homes, and the whole family came outside the city trembling with their families.

   "Boys! Be careful, don't smash other people's things, don't touch the noble mansion, and the most important thing is don't take a wool from others! Do you know?"

  Mr. Earl said loudly to the officers behind him, emphasizing his order.

   "Follow your instructions, Honorable Earl!" The officers were very happy to have this opportunity to make a fortune, and their voices were extraordinarily powerful.

  According to Earl Wellington's plan, all the light cavalry and heavy cavalry went to search, leaving more than 400 knights with him to guard the citizens of Huntington.

  The people who searched had to leave seven layers of finances, four of which belonged to the Earl of Wellington and the knights, and the other three belonged to Duke Edward.

  The soldiers rushed into Huntington with the gates wide open like a pack of wolves.

  Scotland, Edinburgh, Lindstedt Palace, the four ministers and Queen Mary are all gathered together, waiting for the French ambassador-Marchard. Woiser.

   Just when everyone was waiting impatiently, a muscular figure came over, with a potbellied figure, a tall body, and sparse hair, this was the first impression he gave to everyone.

   "The French ambassador - Baron Marshall Woiser has arrived!" The guards of the palace sang loudly.

   "Good morning! Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty the Regent, and all of you!"

  Yes, Queen Mary and the ministers have been discussing how to defend the capital of Edinburgh before the arrival of French reinforcements.

   "Good morning! Ambassador! I think you already know our situation!"

   Queen Mary's words are full of arrogance. Her father and brother are both ministers valued by the King of France, and her family is deeply rooted in France.

   It can be said that apart from the French royal family, only their Guise family is the most powerful.

   "Yes! Your Majesty the Queen Mother, I deeply sympathize with what happened to your country!"

   "So, how can your country help us who don't know us as an ally?"

  Queen Mary's words were very direct, asking questions sentence by sentence, without any scruples about his status as an ambassador.

   "I have sent someone to notify His Majesty the King of Paris in the middle of the night. I think His Majesty the King will definitely send reinforcements. At present, your country only needs to hold on until the reinforcements arrive!"
