Only then did James II ask: "Is there any opposition now?"
”Ever since the Treaty of London was signed with the Ming Kingdom, James II had been plotting to strengthen his royal power.And because of this, he had already used the loan he had obtained in Daming to strengthen the strength of his royal army guards, and used money to consolidate the loyalty of these guards to him.And now, these parliamentarians are naturally at his disposal.Turning around, these parliamentarians naturally did not dare to raise any more objections under the guns of James II, but had to express their stance and pass the bill.They had to admit that James II was a different monarch from Charles II, and was obviously much more powerful and tyrannical.Monmouth and Xu Qianxue both watched this scene in horror and didn't dare to say anything.It wasn't until after leaving that Monmouth found Xu Qianxue and said through gritted teeth: "He is already doing this against the entire English people!"
”Xu Qianxue smiled bitterly: "It's like the tyrant of the Ming Kingdom now, when he was in power in the early days!"
If my prediction is correct, he will continue to deprive the people of their interests in the name of maintaining his own society, until the gentry and serfs are indistinguishable; Such a tyrant, for the sake of his own inheritance, will do everything, he will collude with the serfs and force the entire dynasty to become his slaves!
”"The British Empire is not the British Empire of James II alone!"
Monmouth drew his sword angrily, and when he had spoken, he added: "I will organize the people, rebel against him, and judge him James II!"
”"No!"
Xu Qianxue stretched out his palm to Monmouth, and then stared at him tightly: "Please don't forget, Your Excellency the Duke, he is not only the king of the British Empire now, but also the lackey of the Ming Kingdom!"
”"Once you rebel, he will take the opportunity to collude with the Ming Kingdom to carry out bloody suppression of you, anyway, he can sell all his interests at any time to win the sympathy of the Ming Kingdom.Once the Ming State is involved, you should understand that the success of the rebellion will be very small, as exemplified by the Wa State and the Korean State, whose own powerful bureaucrats have raised numerous armies, and as long as the Ming State does not want them to die, they will not be able to die. ”"It's Ming Guo again, this damn Ming Kingdom!
If it weren't for Ming Guo, he might not have been so ruthless!
”Monmouth said.Xu Qianxue replied: "I can only express my regret for this!
All this is indeed a disaster brought by the Ming Kingdom, to be exact, it is a disaster brought by the tyrant of Zhu Youxiao!
If it weren't for the appearance of the tyrant Zhu Youxiao, maybe I wouldn't have come here, the countries of the world would never fight, and the scholars and doctors of all countries could swim leisurely in the forest, and they didn't know the harm of swords!
It's a pity that the sky has no eyes, and this tyrant was born, so that there is no quiet place in the world. ”Monmouth then continued to ask: "Is there really no way to make this James II not the second Zhu Youxiao?"
”"There is a way, but it may not be successful, but it is indeed more appropriate than a direct rebellion.""
What's the solution, say it quickly!""
Naturally, he secretly attacked and made it suddenly collapse!"
After Xu Qianxue answered, he said: "Looking down, the Ming Kingdom cares more about their interests in the British Empire, and does not care who the monarch of the British Empire is, if we resist clearly, James II can suppress us by colluding with the Ming Kingdom, but if we let him die suddenly, we can immediately elect a monarch who meets our hearts, and at that time, as long as this monarch continues to recognize the interests of the Ming Kingdom in my British Empire, the Ming Kingdom will naturally turn a blind eye." ”"Makes sense!
Then I will not raise troops against him James II, and I should find a way to make him die suddenly. ”Monmouth replied approvingly.Therefore, after Xu Qianxue's persuasion, Monmouth and some English nobles who were close to him did not directly rebel, but rebelled against the iron-fisted rule of King James II.However, there were still radical English aristocrats who could not stand the tyrannical rule of James II and resolutely rebelled.James II relied on his royal army to be equipped with Ming-style equipment and was a famous English general, and quickly put down the rebellion and bloodily suppressed the English nobles who rebelled against him.So much so that the English aristocracy could only temporarily submit to the strong rule of James II.James II was thus quite satisfied, and determined to continue to strengthen his rule, and issued a royal decree to ban the parliament on the grounds that the parliamentarians had rebelled and that the parliament would eventually become a place of rebellion by the unscrupulous, and that the army should be expanded by 100,000 and fifty warships should be built.For a time, James II's royal power was greatly increased, and the military power under his control was also greatly strengthened, and even relied on this military power to increase taxes on Wales that were subordinate to him, and also strengthened his control over Scotland.In addition, James II also took advantage of the opportunity of the great increase in his national income and began to vigorously develop science and technology and encourage scientific research.To this end, he also went to Cambridge at the suggestion of his confidant Liverland, to encourage scholars from Cambridge University who had been transferred from elsewhere to continue to contribute to the scientific and technological cause of the British Empire in Cambridge.But on the very day he came to Cambridge, he was crossing the Cambridge in a boat when he suddenly fell into the water.Plop.He had to shout: "Help, save me." ”The confidant Minister Livelan, who was also on the ship, did not react at all, only sneered.Then he jumped into the water, and then lifted James II to the shore, shouting: "Save Your Majesty!"
”In the end, James II was rescued ashore, but he contracted a lung disease, and a few months later, he died after no medical treatment.…… Zhu Youxiao learned the news a few months later, and was quite shocked: "James II died of lung disease because he fell into the water?!"
When did the overboard thing become global!
”"According to their own accounts, it was just an accident, and their men have approached our officials in London to say that even if such an unfortunate thing happened to James II, they would continue to recognize the terms that the previous king had signed with me during the reign of this king."
Zhang Tongchang said to Zhu Youxiao at this time.After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao roughly guessed the real reason behind James II's fall into the water, so he nodded and said: "In this case, just ignore this matter for now, James II may have already expected such a step." ”"At present, there have been kings in Britain and France, all of which are related to the king's desire to concentrate royal power, and they have taken too much, to put it bluntly, if they want to rescue the serfs, they can't do it themselves, or they have to be Ming."
Wen Tiren said at this time."
In Britain and France, France must be destroyed first, and the unification of the European continent must be completely realized first!
The regent of the French Bourbon dynasty, Philip, is a person who is unwilling to be fully sinicized, and only wants to maintain his rule by cooperating with this dynasty, but now, as my Ming Dynasty advances on the European continent, he must have fidgeted and begun to worry that his Bourbon dynasty was destroyed by my Ming Dynasty, right?
”Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.At that time, the entire Bourbon dynasty was indeed in a panic.After all, the Ming Empire has indeed reached Vienna now.Not much is there to France.Louis XV even couldn't help but ask Philippe: "Uncle, will our dynasty be destroyed by the Ming Kingdom?"
”Philip didn't answer him, just looked up at the starry sky.He now regrets a little, regretting that he did something to let his brother fall into the water in order not to sacrifice the interests of his own aristocratic class.Because he had to admit that he personally had limited capabilities in the military.He really didn't know how to deal with the westward expansion of the Ming Kingdom.In fact, it was not only France that had no way to deal with the current westward expansion of the Ming Dynasty.Other European countries have no choice.Karlsten and the nobles of the Duchy of Prussia did not hold Königsberg, and the Ming army blew open the walls of Königsberg with powerful explosives and attacked it with the help of local serfs.As a result, Karlsten was captured alive and executed by the Ming court to deter those who tried to corrupt the Ming Empire's officials.Next, it was not France that was most worried about being wiped out by the Ming Dynasty's westward army, but Denmark, the United Kingdom of Norway and Sweden, and the Holy Roman Empire, which was next to Austria, across the sea from the Duchy of Prussia.Zhu Cizhuo once again showed his command ability, in order to paralyze the combined army of Denmark, the United Kingdom of Norway and the Kingdom of Sweden, he concentrated a large number of ships in the direction of Copenhagen on the Baltic Sea, but secretly disguised the army as civilian workers to pull back, and finally gathered 300,000 troops in the area of Lake Ladoga near the city of Vyborg.At this time, the combined forces of the United Kingdom of Denmark and Norway and the Kingdom of Sweden, because of a miscalculation of intelligence, thought that the Ming army was going to cross the Baltic Sea and directly attack Copenhagen.For this reason, the Kingdom of Sweden transferred a large number of troops from Finland in the east to the Gothenburg area, close to Copenhagen.During this period, Finland was ruled by the Kingdom of Sweden.The Kingdom of Sweden at this time was indeed a European power.Because he also had his own colonies in the Americas, and even more than a decade ago, he attacked Copenhagen, the capital of the invincible Kingdom of Denmark, and the Kingdom of Denmark was forced to cede many territories to the Kingdom of Sweden.If it weren't for the appearance of Da Ming, he would have even become stronger in this period.However, the Kingdom of Sweden now clearly understands the truth of the cold lips and teeth, and actively supports the Danish and Norwegian United Kingdom in Copenhagen against the Ming army.All the 50 warships that he had added after the war of the same military expansion over the years were transferred to the waters near Copenhagen to help the Kingdom of Denmark and Norway reconnoiter the movements of the Ming army.But while the two Nordic powers were busy, the Ming army's 300,000 troops had entered Finland, forming a long line of skirmishers, as if they were in a no-man's land.However, the Kingdom of Sweden did not have many troops left in this area at all, which led to the appearance of so many Ming troops, and there were not many Swedish officers and soldiers in charge of sentry sentry so that they noticed the large-scale appearance of the Ming army.On the day when the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching in the 55th year of the Apocalypse, Helsinki, which is still a small coastal town in Finland, was gradually surrounded by the Ming army.Bauzorov, the leader of the 300 Swedish soldiers stationed here, was shocked and said in disbelief: "How come, how can there be so many Ming troops!"
Quick, send someone by boat to inform His Majesty that the purpose of the Ming army is not Copenhagen, but to seize the territory of the Sumi people first. ”At this time, the natives of Finland called themselves Sumi, so this area was also called the territory of the Sumi people."
The vassal states of the Holy Roman Empire, such as Brandenburg, the Elector of Saxony, and the Elector of Hanover, heard that the Ming army was going to attack Copenhagen by boat, and they all sent their own ships and soldiers to help in the war, and even France, Rome, and England sent fleets to support, and now the whole of Copenhagen has gathered hundreds of warships, and everyone hopes that we can stop the attack of the Ming army."
And when the Ming army attacked Finland in a big way, King Karl XI of Sweden was saying some words of encouragement to King Christian V of Denmark.Because of the appearance of the Ming Dynasty, these two kings, who had a deep hatred, were like brothers at this time.Hearing Karl XI say this, King Christian V of Denmark also said: "This is the staker of the survival of my West, and I, the United Kingdom of Denmark and Norway, should do everything in our power to hold Copenhagen!"
And protect my civilization!
”"Report!
Your Majesty, the governor of Helsinki, Borozov, has an urgent report of war, and a large number of Ming troops have appeared in the vicinity of Helsinki, as many as two or three hundred thousand, and all of them are made of iron chariots. ”Ottave, Karl XI's personal guard, suddenly came to Karl XI and said.When Karl XI heard this, his whole person was directly stunned.Christian V, too, also half-opened his mouth, and after a while, said: "So, the Ming army is not going to cross the Baltic Sea to attack my Copenhagen, but to march from Finland?"
”"How's that okay?"
Karl XI also spoke at this time, and said: "There, there are only more than 9,000 troops in total!"
And almost all the troops, I concentrated in Gothenburg. ”"This commander of the Ming army is really cunning!"
Wilhelm, the Elector of Brandenburg, could not help but say something at this time.......
"Mission!"
Speed up and eat rice dumplings again in Turku!
”Zhu Cizhuo is now sitting on the new internal combustion engine chariot of the Ming Dynasty, and he is full of energy to convey the latest order.Naturally, Helsinki was captured by the Ming army.And in order to occupy more Finnish land as soon as possible before the Kingdom of Sweden transferred the army back, he did not stay in Helsinki for long, but continued to advance with the army.After discovering the Ming army in large numbers, the Finnish natives, who called themselves Sumi, also spontaneously organized themselves to rebel against the Ming army.Therefore, it didn't take long for Li Dingguo, who was the vanguard, to discover the appearance of a large number of Sumi cavalry, about 10,000 horsemen.But these Sumi cavalry were vulnerable to the Ming army, which was already a mechanized unit.With the continuous strafing of the firearms, all the tens of thousands of Sumi cavalry turned into corpses floating on the grass.It was not long before the Ming army entered the Finnish city of Turku and then Buden, thus approaching the Swedish kingdom proper.It stands to reason that the armies of the Kingdom of Sweden and the European countries that supported them should besiege Wei to rescue Zhao Cai, ignoring the Ming army marching in the cold land in the north, but first directly send a large army to attack Kaliningrad, the port that has been occupied by the Ming Dynasty.However, the number of these European armies is really insufficient, and their own combat effectiveness and equipment level are not as good as the Ming army, so they cannot stage the ability to encircle Wei and save Zhao, so they can only concentrate their forces to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army.Of course, they could also use their familiarity with the local geography to engage in guerrilla warfare, but this required them to voluntarily sacrifice their wealth and resources in the major towns.Naturally, they are unwilling.Moreover, they could only send small troops of less than 10,000 men to do so, and once the large troops left the castle, they would have to encounter the problem of provisions.Therefore, except for many small forces going north or attacking the Ming army along the coastline, most of the main forces of the European monarchs still honestly went north to prepare for a decisive battle with the Ming army and block the pace of the Ming army.By the time the Ming army entered Buden, the Kingdom of Sweden and the armies of the European countries that had come to their aid had just arrived in Umeå, the capital of the Kingdom of Sweden.However, after the Ming army occupied Buden, it did not advance further.Because it was impossible for the Ming army not to consider the problem of supply that arose after a large-scale march, as well as the problem of being attacked by a small group of enemy troops due to the instability of the rear.Zhu Cizhuo played a trick for the European countries to build plank roads and secretly display warehouses, and suddenly took advantage of the arrival of summer to march from Finland on a large scale and occupied Buden, so he ordered to stop the advance, organized the soldiers and civilians to build military stations and roads with the locals, set up medical centers and schools, and planned to use the military stations as points and highways as the line to send troops to suppress the small remaining enemy troops in the local area after the highway was built.At the same time, Zhu Cizhuo also deliberately carried out a ceremony to worship the heavens in Turku, and erected a stone monument, as if to let European countries know that he, the commander of the Ming army, had been staying in Turku."
This is because he doesn't know the geography of Sweden to me, and he can't put too many eyeliners, and through this kind of fanfare, he tells us that he, the commander of the Ming army, is in Turku, and let us take the initiative to fight him, this cunning Oriental!"
After the leaders of the armies of the European countries learned that Zhu Cizhuo had paid homage to the heavens in Turku and erected a stone monument, Wilhelm, the Elector of Brandenburg, expressed his opinion to King Karl XI of Sweden.Karl XI affirmed this: "You are right!
But what can we do now, if we don't take the initiative to attack him, we can only nest in the south!
And his Ming army is like a sword hanging over our heads all the time, so that we have no peace every day, and the soldiers and horses we have organized can only consume food in vain. ”"Going north can only continue to go north, just hope to be able to fight quickly, otherwise it will drag on, once the weather turns cold, your country's occupied territory will not be able to be recovered this year, and you have to transfer the army back to the south before the weather is completely cold, because once the harsh winter comes, the Ming army will definitely not attack from the north again, except for the local Lappish people, no one can resist the winter there, if the Ming army wants to continue to carry out the offensive, it can only attack the south."

When William said this, he added: "Before, we should have thought that the Ming army would go to the north in the summer, but we were deceived by the illusion they created. ”Karl XI nodded and said: "I hope that I can fight quickly, and even if I can't, I must withdraw quickly, and this king is ready not to recover the northern territory in a short time." ”"The meaning of the imperial court is to use machines and guns to destroy the enemy, and not to cause too many casualties, and now what this dynasty lacks most is not machines and ammunition, but people!
It is the people who can establish a consumer market as soon as possible, and even because of this, the imperial court has decided not to increase the number of troops on a large scale, but to adopt a strategy of elite soldiers, and to train more skilled troops, and most of the people should be transferred to the local areas to serve as civil affairs officials and police officers, so that the economy of the newly opened territory can prosper rapidly, and meet the needs of the current high-speed development of the productive forces of the imperial court. ”"The guys at the Academy of Sciences have gone completely crazy, not only did they get out of the radio, but they also developed a machine that could fly, in addition, they also made a new combat vehicle, called a tracked combat vehicle, I heard that trekking through mountains and rivers is a lot more powerful, in addition, there has been new progress in food because of the development of genetics, what does this mean, it shows that the cost of transportation will drop in the future, communication will be more convenient, and there is that we soldiers may really destroy a country by one person in the future!
And it is no longer necessary to fight in large groups, or rather, in the face of these European armies, which are far behind us, it is not necessary, so General Ben decided to divide his forces to fight Copenhagen!
”While Karl XI and William were discussing the issue of going north to deal with the Ming army, Zhu Cizhuo explained to the generals at a military meeting at the base camp of the Western Expeditionary Army that he would divide his troops to attack Copenhagen next.Zhu Cizhuo obviously did not mean to wait for the armies of the European countries to fight in Turku, but to take advantage of the opportunity to capture Copenhagen while the armies of the European countries were heading north, and to prepare for the future to send a large number of troops and horses to land from the south, and then to completely encircle the Nordic countries.After hearing this, all the officials had no objections.Therefore, Liu Zhaoji was ordered by Zhu Cizhuo to take only 50,000 soldiers and horses to Nanda in a roundabout, in order to take the opportunity to capture Copenhagen.Zhu Cizhuo sent the Ming army to quickly capture Buden and no longer continue to march, but immediately built fortress-type military stations and roads, the purpose was not only to simply solve the supply line problem after continuing to march into Sweden, but also to facilitate the fight of movement warfare and the division of troops to fight in other places, so as to make full use of the advantages of the rescued grassroots people to support the Ming army, and achieve the goal of fighting wherever they wanted.Along the way, because the Ming Dynasty organized a large number of migrant workers to build a simple dirt road here, and now there are a large number of steam and internal combustion engine-powered vehicles in the Ming Dynasty, so the 50,000 soldiers and horses led by Liu Zhaoji quickly arrived in Vyborg, and then used the road built by the Ming Dynasty between Vyborg and Warsaw to quickly advance in the direction of Berlin.At this time, the armies of the European countries had just arrived near Buden.The armies of European countries also attach great importance to the development of their own military science and technology, especially after suffering several losses in the course of fighting with the Ming army with guns and other weapons, they have spent a lot of effort to develop various types of weapons, and the countries have also actively cooperated with each other.As a result, the armies of today's European countries, especially the main force, have also been equipped with rifled guns, and have also changed their tactics, no longer using traditional phalanx battles, but also began to play skirmishers and conduct positional warfare like the Ming army.Therefore, these European armies have now begun to dig trenches and build their own defenses after arriving on the outskirts of Buden.
