My British Empire

Chapter 159 Lyon, France

ps: Ask for a ticket, ask for a monthly ticket

When Lewis saw this warrior who was much more beautifully dressed than a highlander, his first feeling was that he was either the leader of the Macdonald tribe or an upper-level figure of the Macdonald tribe.

As soon as the people arrived, Lewis took the lead in bowing and said the exact same lines as Logan.

"Hahaha!" As soon as Lewis' words sounded, Ronald and Adair laughed loudly, and Logan beside him was also a little bit dumbfounded, which made Lewis a little confused and didn't know what was going on.

Simply let them laugh there, Lewis looked at the guide Logan, and Logan didn't know how to answer, so he could only shake his head with a wry smile.

"My friend, you are an interesting person!" The leader Ronald patted Lewis on the shoulder happily, "You are our guest now, come on, let's go in and talk!"

Compared with the leader Ronald, Lewis is like a little chick. Under his involvement, Lewis was easily pulled away.

Lewis didn't expect this scene, he broke free but couldn't break free, and waved to the caravan in desperation, signaling the caravan to follow.

Lewis and others entered the MacDonald tribe in this way, which was very easy.

Along the way, looking at the messy tents, roads full of excrement and urine, and bonfires randomly arranged, Lewis determined that the MacDonald tribe was no different from other highlanders.

If I had to say something different, they were all strong on average, and they had a lot of people and slaves. Along the way, Lewis counted them casually in his mind, no less than three or four hundred people.

And half of them are strong and strong men, which has to be surprising.

Recalling the old guide Logan's words in his mind, although the MacDonald tribe has come down from the highland dominance, they still have the largest number of people in the highlands, especially the fighters, which are estimated to be about 500.

In this way, based on the minimum family of three, the MacDonald tribe has a population of about 1,500. If slaves are added, the population of 2,000 to 3,000 is no problem.

"Leader, this time we brought you twenty copper axes and twenty copper swords!"

After seeing the tent covered with wolf fur and guards standing guard in front of him, Lewis was sure that he was the leader of the tribe.

So, as soon as he stood firm, Lewis showed his sweetness.

"Also, there are two hundred pounds of salt, five pots of honey, ten iron pots..."

"Finally, we brought you two jugs of good wine from England!"

Lewis uttered word by word the goods that made the Highlanders salivate, which made Ronald and Adair's eyes glisten with greed.

"Tell me, lowlander, what is your request? There is no free lunch in the world!" After listening to it, after a while, the leader Ronald put away his greed and calmed down.

It's ridiculous to say that the more backward the place, the stronger and more stubborn the beliefs.

Regarding Catholicism, the Highlanders firmly believed in him, even though the Edinburgh area later determined that the Presbyterian Church was the state religion, the Highlanders began to riot against the Presbyterian Church.

After the Glorious Revolution, the Highlanders were also the first to support the son of James II, the Stuart family, and the uprising continued.

"My lord, these are gifts from our master to the MacDonald tribe!"

"Tell me your conditions! Lowlander!" Ronald said calmly.

"Our master doesn't have any request, just let your tribe go to plunder Glasgow city!"

Lewis seemed to say another small place name, his face didn't care.

"Are you setting up a trap to deceive us? Then you underestimate us too much, we will not be fooled."

Ronald seemed to have been molested, his face flushed red, he looked annoyed, and his eyes radiated murderous intent.

No wonder he was like this. At that time, the largest city in Scotland was not Edinburgh, but Glasgow. This city, which was regarded as the frontier of defense by the Romans, was located in central Scotland, not far from the Highlands.

But the Highlanders didn't dare to plunder, even though it was Scotland's largest port and largest city.

Not to mention its strong walls and huge army. Glasgow is only 75 kilometers away from Edinburgh, which is 47 miles. It only takes a little more than a day, and the army of the King of Scotland will arrive. It is simply dying!

Therefore, as soon as Lewis said it, Ronald became angry.

"My lord, you misunderstood me. I didn't want you to attack Glasgow. I just asked you to plunder the rural areas. There is no city wall there!"

"You don't have to worry about the army. I also invited Grant, Campbell, Fisher and other tribes to act together. The King of Scotland's army can't deal with you!"

Lewis talked as if everything was under control, and the MacDonald tribe just enjoyed it.

"My friend, I have long known that you are our true friend. If anyone provokes you in the highlands in the future, you can say that you are my friend of Ronald McDonald!"

After hearing what Lewis said, Ronald seemed to change his face and immediately said in a friendly manner. The smile on his face was so kind!

In this way, the scene of the joyous scene of the guests and the host appeared in the tent, driving away the cold of the highland night.

After arranging for Lewis and others to rest, Ronald returned to the tent with an unstoppable sneer on his face.

France, Lyon, the star city of France in the Middle Ages, because of the development of the textile and leather industries, it has become one of the richest cities in France.

And the well-known wealth has also attracted a large number of idle people.

Of course, like all European cities, Lyon, which developed commercially, soon became an autonomous city, and the king and nobles could not control it.

However, if His Majesty Henry II recruited troops here, the merchants would still welcome them. At least some of the population could be taken away, reducing the burden on the city.

Therefore, when Henry II's recruiter came, the merchants immediately opened the door to convenience, not only providing the venue for free, but also exempting the city gate tax.

There is also a reason why businessmen behave this way. As we all know, medieval cities are full of shit and garbage, and France is one of the best.

In the capital Paris, people can't bear to have so much shit in the city. Therefore, they piled up their excrement and excrement outside the city walls of Paris to alleviate this dirty situation, but after a while, the excrement wall outside Paris was already as high as the city wall, and the Parisians could only raise the city wall to avoid being submerged danger.

Therefore, Paris in the Middle Ages was like Kaifeng in the Song Dynasty, in danger of being submerged at any time, and the rulers used the same means to raise the city wall as a defense.

Off topic, at this time, the news of His Majesty's recruitment spread throughout Lyon, and mercenaries, large and small, started a frenzy of registration one by one.

In the last few days, I hope everyone will vote for monthly tickets and strive for more than 100
