Chapter 179 Blackmail the whole city

ps: The second update, ask for tickets, ask for subscription

At this time, after fighting in the middle of the night, the flag of England has been erected in the whole city.

The formerly bustling and prosperous city now presents a deathly silence. Every household has closed their doors and windows tightly. In the **** night, there is no trace of people on the streets.

But the street that was so full of mud and **** is now dyed in a bewitching red, with mutilated body parts randomly placed on the street, and English soldiers with blood on their faces holding various weapons, groping one by one. Various corpses, hoping to get some finances.

Lieutenant Commander James Leo Shesley and Privy Council Minister Kyle Lance walked on the street full of dead bodies without any hesitation, turning a blind eye to the soldiers groping for dead bodies.

The patrol soldiers who passed by the two from time to time also looked curiously at the two walking in the middle of the night and cast doubtful eyes.

James and Minister Kyle walked side by side, talking and laughing.

"Your Excellency Lance, how many gold coins do you think this city can collect?"

Pointing to the shops in front of you, don't think about how prosperous it is usually, and the flow of gold coins is almost like a river.

Thinking of this, Major James salivated, his eyes were full of greed, and he looked at everything in front of him wantonly.

Caught off guard, Minister Kyle, who had been discussing the loss issue, was stunned for a while, then shook his head, rolled his dark blue eyes, thought for a while, and said:

"Mr. Major, according to my estimation, the city of Francisco can almost receive tens of thousands of pounds in taxes every month. After deducting the payment to the King of France and various expenses, the monthly surplus is about 3,000 pounds."

"Really? This is really a huge sum of money. Sure enough, this is a very rich city!"

Hearing the minister's explanation, Major James almost swallowed his tongue.

Although he was talking, Major James still saw a corpse lying in a pool of blood in front of him, stepped forward lightly, and stepped over.

"If that's the case, then we've gained a lot from this trip!"

"Yes! Tomorrow I will go to Paris to meet King Henry II of France! I think his face may have turned black into coals, and it is pleasant to think about it!" Laughing, Kyle's two beards moved, It looks very happy.

"Yes! Your Excellency, I wish you a smooth tomorrow and complete the tasks assigned by His Majesty!" Following a few laughs, Major James stopped and blessed.

"This is an extremely simple task. I can't wait to see how depressed Henry II looks!"

Laughed a few times, Kyle Lance walked around with Major James, and then went back to rest. He has to hurry tomorrow, so it is important to hurry up and rest.

However, Major James walked around tirelessly, also known as patrolling. The entire city was basically in a calm state, and the resistance was completely wiped out.

The next day, Kyle Lance, who barely rested for a few hours, got up in a hurry, took a few guards and servants, and hurried to Paris in a carriage.

After Major James got up early to say goodbye to Kyle Lance, he didn't go back to sleep again, and started to inspect the troops.

Because of the repeated orders before the siege, and the fact that the siege soldiers suffered little damage, the English army at this time was like a model army for later generations, and it would not commit any crimes.

In the city, except for the 500 patrol soldiers arranged by James, the rest of the soldiers were arranged to guard the prisoners in the barracks in the city, and the soldiers who hadn't slept all night were also very emotional.

The defeated soldiers and captured captives, plus the dead defenders, these people were searched over and over again by the English soldiers, and even their clothes were stripped away.

Thus, those dead were thrown out of the sea by the soldiers, and the prisoners were exposed to the cool wind all over their bodies, leaving only a piece of linen underwear to cover them up.

When Major James came to the barracks, the soldiers counted their trophies with red eyes, and some even fought over a silver coin.

Under the **** of the guards, Major James came to this smoky barracks, feeling a little bad all over.

"Go and call them all, including the patrolling ones, except for the gatekeepers!" Major James said softly to the guard next to him with his neck tilted.

Watching Maliu's guard leave, Major James coughed and said sharply:

"Look at what you look like, you are making a lot of noise over something, and you haven't assembled yet!"

The fighting soldiers finally realized that their chief was coming, and quickly stood up, standing together in the order of the ships.

So, after everyone arrived, there were more than 30 teams in front of James.

Looking at these soldiers with blood on their clothes but high morale, James nodded in satisfaction.

"Guys! Last night's harvest was just a snack before the big meal! Today I will make everyone's harvest even richer!"

Major James' words aroused the active genes in the soldiers, and suddenly, the atmosphere in the barracks seemed even more heated.

Major James smiled, which was in line with his expectations.

"Today, you have given you a task to knock on the door of someone who looks rich. If he is a merchant or nobleman, then you need to ask them to pay a ransom of 100 gold coins!"

"If you knock on the door of ordinary people, you only need to ask them to pay ten silver coins!"

"Don't take too much, don't rob, don't harass other women!"

"After taking the money, you need to explain that the French king asked you to take it, remember?"

The last sentence, Major James shouted loudly.

"Got it—" the soldiers shouted.

"Hand over all the money to me. I am on the seventh floor and you are on the third floor. Don't try to hide it from me. I will send someone to supervise!"

Finally, Major James' words have a strong warning meaning.

Afterwards, the soldiers formed groups of three or five and began to blackmail the whole city together.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Picking up the spear in his hand, the soldier hurriedly knocked on the door of an ordinary family.

The hostess, hostess, and children huddled together, trembling with fear.

Seeing that the door could not be opened, the soldier violently opened the door in a fit of anger. He came to the room and looked at the trembling family and said, "Hurry up and take out ten silver coins! I have urgent matters, and there is no time to delay!"

Because the city of Francisco is not far from England, is on the verge of the English Channel, and is still located in Normandy, English is very familiar to them.

The man stood up tremblingly, took out a box containing money, walked slowly in front of the soldier, and put it in his hand.

The soldier glanced at it and took away the ten silver coins. After that, he returned the box to the man and walked out quickly.

The man breathed a sigh of relief, but the soldier came back again and said, "This is what the King of France told us to take!"

Afterwards, the astonished family was left behind and left directly.

Today, the whole city is full of violent knocking on doors.
