Chapter 444: Invasion of Brest
Chapter 444 Breaking into Brest
The Marquess of Edinburgh was originally an earl, and later he was conferred the title of Marquess of Edinburgh by His Majesty Edward because he captured Edinburgh.
The long-term guarding of Edinburgh made Wilson have a special love for Scotch whiskey. Therefore, this time, he led 3,000 soldiers to conquer Brittany, and the whiskey brought hundreds of barrels.
Among them, what he misses the most is the Scottish specialty—chicken nuggets with cheese.
This is chicken nuggets marinated with special ingredients and cooked in whiskey.
Scotch whiskey is the best in the world, and Glenfiddich malt whiskey is the best in Scotch whiskey, known as "liquid gold".
Like him, most of the soldiers from Scotland also regarded whiskey as their life, and clamored that they would rather have no weapons than whiskey.
In order to ensure morale, the logistics team endured tears and bought a hundred barrels of Scotch whiskey, which cost several hundred pounds.
So, at this moment, the Scottish soldiers sitting on the ship, bored during the day, sat on the deck one by one, wearing characteristic kilts, drinking strong whiskey, playing bagpipes, and the waves beat from time to time The ship, the whole ship, presents a harmonious scene.
Different from the Scottish plaid group in everyone’s impression, Scotland at this time is just a long skirt, called kilt—Kilt.
It is still a kind of uncut clothing, about 5 meters long, wrapped around a person, with a belt tied around the waist to achieve the purpose of covering the body.
The part below the waist is similar to the current kilt, but the part above the waist is made of folds with pins on the shoulders.
The Scottish kilt in the modern sense will not be until the early eighteenth century.
While on the battlefield, Scottish soldiers wore kilts as formal clothing.
This kind of skirt is generally made of tweed, and the cloth surface is designed as a continuous grid, and the grid must be fully displayed. It later evolved into the less trimmed little guilt, also known as the "friedberg", which was sewn along the waist pleats. When wearing this kind of skirt, an oval-shaped scarf should be worn in front and a wide belt should be tied.
Moreover, the squares on the kilt cannot be worn randomly, each square represents a different meaning.
For example, the black and gray grid represents government personnel.
The Scottish Highland tribes fought, and the way to distinguish them was to identify the squares on the skirts.
Close your eyes, listen to the melodious and melodious Scottish bagpipes, and enjoy the gentle sea breeze. For a while, the Marquis of Edinburgh felt a little bit reluctant to leave.
However, he had to get up, because there were hurried footsteps in his ears.
"What's the matter? Tell me!" Sitting up, the Marquis of Edinburgh said directly without even looking at the messenger.
Starting from yesterday, the ship began to slow down. More than 4,000 soldiers, including the navy, saw the seagulls constantly surpassing themselves, and the sea was calm and peaceful, which made them panic.
The same is true for the Marquis of Edinburgh. He originally planned to take down the city of Brest in one go, but he had to temporarily change his plan because of the letter from His Majesty the King and the guarantee from the Dark Blade.
Moreover, two Scottish nobles were lost.
The messenger swallowed his saliva, blinked his eyes, and said calmly and quickly: "A letter from Darkblade, from Brest!"
"Oh?? Really, show me!"
The Marquess of Edinburgh quickly took the letter, opened it and read it.
As the content was read step by step, the smile on his face deepened, and finally he couldn't stop, and the wrinkles on his face turned into a chrysanthemum.
"Quickly, notify the navy and let them speed up. They must arrive at the port of Brest before evening. By the way, notify everyone to prepare immediately. Dress up and let me see the dirty ones, and throw them directly into the sea, so as not to lose me. s face."
The Marquess of Edinburgh said the last few words loudly, and all the soldiers on the deck could hear them clearly.
"You have to take care of your body cleanliness!"
"Yes! The general is too lenient!"...
There were many voices of discussion, but the Marquess of Edinburgh turned a blind eye and let them complain.
While the soldiers complained, they kept moving and began to prepare.
"A group of lazy people only look like a mighty army if the army is clean and tidy, and have a great deterrent effect!" Muttering words from His Majesty the King, the Marquis felt that he also needed a bath.
Looking at the sea surface and feeling his sticky skin again, Lord Marquis hurriedly walked into the cabin and started a cleaning campaign.
It is clearly stipulated in the compiled joint infantry drills that soldiers must take a bath every three days to clean their environment.
While drifting at sea, many soldiers have no conditions to take a bath and clean, but now that the task is almost completed, of course they can take a bath happily.
So, under the amazed eyes of the navy sailors, the army soldiers took the precious fresh water resources and carried out extravagant bathing activities. The envy and hatred were beyond words.
In the evening, the navy arrived at the port of Brest as promised, and the Marquis of Edinburgh also met the mayor of Brest.
Then, welcomed by the mayor, the Royal Army, dressed in clothing similar to that of the Bretons, entered the city of Brest, and sent troops to occupy the gates of the entire city, and sent additional personnel to patrol.
At this time, the city council learned of the contents of the mayor's rebellion, but for a long time, the nobles and big businessmen who had close contacts with England kept silent about it.
As a result, the entire city successfully accepted all the city gates.
Thus, this wonderful performance made Dark Blade famous, gradually gaining the momentum to keep pace with the Palace Intelligence Service.
And the mayor finally learned that the army in front of him was only 3,000 people, and what Baron Gavin said was all a bluff.
But when things got to this point, there was nothing they could do but admit it.
The news that the city of Brest was occupied by the British quickly spread to Rennes.
The Roang family panicked.
As descendants of the former Duke of Brittany, the entire Rohan family still controls the entire Brittany, living a life of wine and meat.
Although the King of France married the Grand Duchess Anna, the King of France did not have so much energy to take care of it in view of the high mountains and remote waters in Brittany, the barren land, and the backward economy.
More importantly, in order to stabilize Brittany, keep it stable, control pro-British forces, and prevent Brittany from falling to England.
The collateral Rohan family, appointed by the King of France, still rules the land of Brittany.
The Rohan family is the uncrowned king of Brittany.
The sudden arrival of the Englishman disrupted the rhythm of life of the entire Roon family.
