Because Zhu Cizhuo did this, the Western Expeditionary Army was not quickly corrupted in Europe, and the nobles of the various Western Yi countries had to temporarily give up the opportunity to corrupt the imperial army and maintain their own autonomy.
King James II of England was quite disappointed with this, and therefore said to his confidant Coleman: "This fifth prince of the Ming Dynasty is a difficult person to deal with. We must find a way to prevent him from continuing to exist in this world! "
"What does your Majesty mean?"
"Yes, militarily, we cannot defeat this powerful empire! We can only use the evil of human nature to corrupt them internally. The seventh prince is obviously a person who is willing to be corrupted by us, but the fifth prince But no! And if we can use some means to make it leave this world, it will naturally be beneficial to us. We just need to make it more concealed. Even if it happens, the Ming Dynasty cannot know that we are doing this. "
said James II.
Then, James II ordered: "I will allocate a generous sum of money to you, and you will send reliable people to France as businessmen, and then find ways to instigate the French to do this. They must also be very reluctant to see this." The Eastern Empire continues to conquer cities and territories on this continent!"
"As you command!"
After James II handed over Coleman, he sighed and said: "I hope you can accomplish this, there is no other way!"
"What Your Majesty said is that we did not expect that the European Grand Alliance would collapse so quickly. Fortunately, our joint operations with France in the Americas finally withstood the attack of the Japanese shogunate army, and we also signed an armistice agreement in private. There may be a chance to deal with the Ming Empire together in the future."
Coleman said.
James II sighed: "I just hope that the Ming Dynasty will not know about this, otherwise he will definitely intervene. What matters now is to strengthen ourselves. We must first liberate the serfs so that our British Empire can have more free people, and then we can Increase the revenue of the treasury and distribute our colonies in America to them. In addition, we must continue to expand the army and select young men from these liberated serfs and integrate them into the royal armies."
"To liberate the serfs and distribute the American colonies to them, I am afraid that the American colonies must be nationalized first. But in this case, I am afraid that the members of Congress will not agree. What's more, now our British aristocrats have basically only All profits can be made through slave farming. The commodity market is all occupied by Ming merchants, and local handicrafts can no longer be profitable."
Coleman said.
"Do you think this king just wants to liberate the serfs?"
James II said angrily, and added: "The textile industry under my royal family's name has also been seriously damaged, and we can only live on the land rent income from various manors. But now if we don't distribute it to the serfs, let them never do it again." Guixin Dynasty, how can we get them to be willing to resist Ming’s invasion for us?!”
After hearing what James II said, Coleman had no choice but to continue to persuade: "Of course I understand you, but not all MPs will understand your difficulties."
James II said: "How can you control so much? If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent. Anyway, it is just the difference between dying in their hands and dying in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. If it doesn't work, we will forcibly abolish the parliamentary system. From now on, our British Empire No more parliamentarian office!”
“Abolish Congress?”
Coleman was even more shocked.
But Coleman did not persuade James II anymore. He knew that James II had no choice but to do so.
If the foreign troubles brought by the Ming Dynasty were not too terrible, he believed that James II would not offend the nobles of the British Empire so much.
Therefore, Coleman very cooperatively proposed bills in Congress to emancipate serfs and expand the army. He suggested that the royal court nationalize the British colonies in America, liberate local serfs as free people, and pay more taxes to the court. .
"Objection! Private property is inviolable! The royal family cannot take it away and distribute it to the serfs. In addition, the serfs are our private property!"
The Duke of Monmouth, a member of Parliament, objected.
"That's right, we have already been taxed. Why should our fields be taken away from us? Besides, according to the contract with the royal family, our fields in the colony were recognized by the royal family. We just need to pay the prescribed taxes to the royal family on a regular basis. , now the royal family rashly wants to take it away, which is against the agreement! If you do this, you will be sorry to God!"
"Yes, and the lives of the British people are very difficult now. A large number of textile factories have gone bankrupt. Even the shipbuilding industry cannot compete with the Ming Dynasty. Now they all rely on the income from land cultivation. The royal family now wants to take away our fields. This Aren't you trying to force people to a dead end? Even the Ming Dynasty knew not to compete with the people for profit. The people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least. Why do we, the Great Britain, have to intensify our efforts to compete with the people for profit!"
Other lawmakers also expressed opposition.
James II laughed at this time and asked: "Do you think this king wants to discuss with you?"
After speaking, James II ordered: "Coleman's proposal must be passed today, otherwise, the only outcome will be death!"
"you dare!"
Monmouth suddenly shouted.
"Why don't you dare?"
James II replied, and then clapped his hands. Immediately, a group of loaded Royal British Army Guards infantry came in with Ming-made flintlocks and surrounded all the members of Congress.
Monmouth immediately shut up when he saw this.
"Your Majesty the King, what are you doing?! Have you forgotten the fate of Charles I?!"
Congressman Stone came and asked.
James II replied: "But I dare not forget the fate of Charles II. I don't want to be betrayed by you, and then go to the capital of the Ming Dynasty in sheep's clothing and kneel before their citizens!"
"In any case, it is wrong for you to do this! The Ming Dynasty cannot continue to expand. What's more, we can obviously use other methods to prevent the expansion of the Ming Army. Why must we take away the people's benefits and distribute them to the slaves? In this case, Is my British Empire or whose British Empire is it?!”
boom!
As soon as Ston finished speaking, James II suddenly took out a Ming-made blunderbuss and shot Ston dead on the spot.
All of a sudden, blood spread throughout the hall.
Many congressmen were so frightened that their legs weakened on the spot, and some even got under the table.
Of course, there are also brave ones. For example, Congressman Koehler looked at James II and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, by doing this, you are breaking with the British people!"
James II pointed at Koehler.
Then, a Royal Army Guard understood what James II meant, broke into the hall, walked towards Koehler, and put a gun directly on Koehler's head.
boom!
Suddenly, there was another loud noise.
Koehler also fell to the ground immediately.
