C2949 He even gave money? (2/2)
”Not bad. This town hall was only cleaned for a bit to find 60,000 francs in unpaid taxes. This country is so fat!”
The truth proved that Luo Huo and Sima Yun were not good people.
The kindness they displayed in front of the ordinary citizens would be repaid a hundred times over from the heads of the Government of France s later. This was also their cleverness.
Stealing commoners was meaningless. Even if you did, how much could you steal from 10,000 families? It would be better to rob the town hall. The amount of money collected through taxes was countless times more than ordinary people.
Stealing the commoners didn't mean much to him, but it also caused him to be scolded by others. In the end, he even caused the people to feel resentful, but he still cursed himself in the end!
The black hand still had to reach into the government's pocket to be satisfied!
”Take a portion of this spoil of war and give it to that old nun of the church. Tell her that all the cattle and sheep we are eating today were bought with money … ”Since you want to put on an act, then do it to the end. We will also show these Frenchmen what kind of military discipline we Chinese have!”
To the more than one hundred captives, it was truly a shocking night. Chinese soldier actually used a price twice that of the market price to purchase the cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks that were to be eaten.
Since most of the residents had already escaped from the town, the money could only be given to the church for safekeeping. The old nun had a very good reputation in the town, she definitely wouldn't worry about being embezzled if the money was given.
All of the women and children in the church except for the children, no adult could fall asleep. They thought back on everything they had encountered today and all felt dreamy.
The woman did not know why these Chinese did not massacre the city, nor could she imagine that the enemy would feed her. What was even more inconceivable was that these soldiers did not insult the woman.
In fact, many women were already prepared to be humiliated. What war looked like was actually passed down from one generation to the next.
However, even when the east was slightly bright, not a single soldier rushed in to do anything violent. After the bed horn sounded, the ox-selling girl secretly leaned on the window to watch from the side.
”Look, these Chinese are gathering... They are distributing bullets... Are they going to attack Paris? ”
”You want to attack Paris at such a young age?”
Somehow, the little girl actually felt a little bit worried for these enemies.
With a bang, the door of the church was smashed open, and two ferocious soldiers rushed in. One of the translators shouted, ”All of you get up, immediately leave for Paris!” This place will soon become a battlefield! ”
”Hurry up, hurry up …” There was food outside the door, and each of them had a portion … Hurry up and get lost! ”
The women and children got up from their chairs and helped each other out of the church. A few soldiers gave each of them a compressed biscuit and chased them out of the town before running towards the south.
”Is this Chinese biscuit? What a strange fragrance, what a unique taste … It's so sweet! ”
”I even brought a bit of milk fragrance with me!”
”There's sugar in this tin packet! ”Big chunks of sugar …”
This place was ten kilometers away from the Paris City, which was quite a distance for these women and children. They ate the rations that the Chinese soldiers gave them along the way.
This compressed biscuit that was filled with grease, sugar, and various grains and dried fruit fragments was enough to provide the most basic human heat, and even had a very good taste.
No wonder it was so delicious. Some of the higher grade compressed biscuits actually contained pine nut powder and walnut powder. How could such a high quality dry food not taste delicious?!
The two girls who played the little ghost yesterday had mixed feelings. They didn't know what was going on, so they only took a few steps to turn around and look at the town. Those handsome eastern men wearing strange military uniforms were already deeply engraved in their hearts.
