Chapter 2743: Brits can't help

The king in England is Charles II. Because he was willing to be Liu Chan's second, he was not deposed.

Charles II's mentality is super good, he surrendered to the Chinese, the Chinese are not difficult for him, they also regard him as the king, there is no shortage of supplies for him and respect him, the situation is much better than before the British forced him, the British king, to leave. Sometimes he even spends the night in a tree (mainly for protection from pursuers and wild animals).

When the Chinese invaded Britain, Charles II surrendered, and the unwilling British supported his DD Duke of York to be crowned king as King James II.

Prince Rupert called Charles II's father, Charles I (the famous decapitated king in England), his uncle. He was extremely loyal to Britain and had always assisted James II.

One of the strategic directions for the West-French coalition to attack Britain was to allow James II and Prince Rupert to cross the sea and go to England, raising their flags to call on the British people to rebel and overthrow the Chinese rule in Britain.

For this reason, Spain and France actively contributed money and guns, assembled five thousand armed forces for the British who fled to France, and planned to **** James II and Prince Rupert across the sea.

The plan was well prepared, and the British agreed, but they didn't expect to change their minds midway.

The two admirals asked why?

Viscount De Busquets replied that James II sent an envoy to sneak into London, and when he saw Charles II, he wanted to cooperate with the outside world. It was best for Charles II to flee when James II was crossing the sea, so as not to be held hostage by the Chinese.

It should be said that this was a good plan, but according to the messenger's report, Charles II not only refused to cooperate, but also told the messenger to tell James II not to come, otherwise, the two brothers will have a chance to meet soon!

Hearing the two admirals look at each other, Charles II's words showed that he was not optimistic about James II's counterattack, and also showed that the Chinese ruled in Britain was stable.

Viscount de Busquets was sent by Paris to contact James II for the rebellion. The matter was not harmonious. Don Aznar Antonio asked him alertly: "How much British inside information have you learned from the envoy?"

He nodded and said, "There are indeed quite a few!"

After reading the text introduction on the paper, the two admirals frowned.

The rule of the Chinese in Britain is quite firm, and the strategy of "returning to the emperor what belongs to the emperor, what belongs to God to God, what belongs to the king to the king, and what belongs to the nobles belongs to the nobility". National defense, and the rest of the domestic affairs are under the responsibility of the king and nobles. The Chinese recognized the Magna Carta, while the British recognized the emperor as the supreme head of state.

The main content of the British "Magna Carta" is to protect the privileges of the feudal nobles and cities, as well as the interests of the knights and citizens, and to limit the royal power. To a certain extent, it also limits the imperial power. The main jurisdiction is completed by the British, and the emperor has no actual control over the British. Not to mention putting Nanhua's governance model in the UK --- the British do not enjoy the welfare of the people of Nanhua.

This is good, everyone lives in peace, the Chinese have occupied the UK, but they respect the British, abide by local laws, and care about development and making money.

The Chinese managed Britain completely according to the European rule, that is, the king was loyal to the emperor, the nobles were loyal to the king, and the nobles were not under the direct control of the emperor.

Of course, the difference is that some new laws must be followed, such as the emperor's rights (and obligations), protection of the personal safety and property interests of the Chinese, and security regulations to protect the rule of the empire, etc.

For the British, it was almost the same as before, and the conquerors were so magnanimous that they were overjoyed.

It should be noted that the rumors of the Chinese in Europe have never been so kind. They dealt with the disobedient conquered brutally and directly---kill the core of the rebels, sell the others, and scrape the land clean. At this place, the sky is three feet high, and the earth is clear and bright!

Now that they have arrived in the UK, the life of the British people has not been affected much. They work and worship when they need to, and their income has increased a lot.

The Chinese are busy making money and don’t care about other things. They even go to British temples to burn incense and pay homage. At first, the British were surprised and happy, but later they found it was nothing but joy. It turns out that the Chinese don’t believe in religion at all. When you are used to seeing temples and burning incense when you go to other places, ordering gods from all walks of life, and doing the etiquette well, it is "respect ghosts and gods and stay away!"

Well, everyone is safe and sound, but once the British dare to violate the security laws of the empire and try to rebel, the terrible punishment will fall on them-kill them, sell their whole family, and confiscate their property .

Under such pressure, the British knew how to choose, which made French Admiral Abraham Duquesne and Spanish Admiral Don Asnar Antonio feel that things were extremely difficult. Hopes have come to naught.

However, if the West-French coalition forces go it alone, Don Aznar Antonio is cautious. Abraham Duquena was full of confidence at first, but he became more and more afraid. Look forward to their arrival!

He did not dare to send out the large fleet to fight the Chinese, but it could not last long. The urging from Paris became more and more intense day by day, because of both the king's order and the actual condition of the fleet.

Now the Western-French coalition has assembled 166 battleships, plus cruisers and armed merchant ships, with a total force of more than 150,000 troops. The daily expenses are huge, and the military pay does not dare to stop, but most of the purchases are owed first. , The suppliers only received a small amount of payment for the goods. Once they couldn't support it, the supply of the fleet would not be able to support it, and I was afraid it would fall into chaos.

Therefore, Abraham Duquesne said firmly: "His Majesty James II must dispatch his troops, and he can help France a little bit!"

Don Aznar Antonio agreed: "Yes! The British must be put under pressure, we can't fight for them, they stay behind drinking and having fun!"

The Vicomte de Busquets was ordered to leave, and Abraham Duquesne could no longer sit still, and walked about the room feeling restless.

He smiled wryly at Don Aznar Antonio: "Don't be careless, or you will lose the whole country in the first battle, but you must not fight. If it drags on, the fleet may disintegrate!"

Until now, he understood the behavior of the former admiral Jean d'Estré who would rather give up a high position and rich salary to enter a monastery. The fate of the whole of France and even the whole of Europe was tied to him, and he was overwhelmed.

When he was a lieutenant general, Abraham Duquesne felt that Jean de Estre was a coward and did not dare to start a hearty battle with the enemy, but once he sat on the position of admiral himself, he realized that this position was a How hot~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Their roles are those who can lose the war in one day. The king, subjects and the high hopes of the whole European people are concentrated on them, how unbearable it is!

Abraham Duquesne couldn't help complaining: "I'm just an ordinary person, not an angel!"

It is said that the Chinese emperor always commanded the fleet to fight in the big war, so that his admiral was not as stressed as Abraham Duquesne.

Abraham Duquesne thought of a terrible situation. Why are the Chinese not in a hurry to start a war with them? Are they waiting for their emperor to return to command the battle?

Then we'd have to strike first, and he spoke to Don Aznar Antonio about his concerns, and the Spanish admiral agreed to go to war.

Just thinking about it, a French officer suddenly broke into the meeting room and shouted: "The South China Fleet raided Cherbourg, our fleet withdrew, and the report said that many battleships were lost!"

Retreat is synonymous with flight, Abraham Duquesne exclaimed: "How is this possible!" 2084/10220630
