After Cromwell Jr. and Charles II withdrew their armies, London became an undefended city.
Although there are still many security personnel in the city, in front of the coalition forces, these people are just a group of decorations.
Especially after some stubborn people were killed by tanks and artillery in the street, the so-called resistance ceased to exist.
In front of the coalition forces, the huge city of London is their department store, and shopping is free this time!
Although the Ming army only had 20,000 troops, it still enjoyed the equal share of the urban area on the south bank of the Thames with the 40,000 Dutch troops.
Wilhelm II took advantage of the announcement of a hundred steam tanks, and now it was impossible not to reciprocate.
Jiexuan's troops had already had a big meal in southern Spain, and now that they were in London, they could only have some dessert after the meal.
But if you don’t eat for free, you won’t eat for free. If you eat for free, you will eat hard. If you don’t have to pay taxes, you will scrap the land. Everyone is happy to do it!
Guys at the level of a congressman must turn over all their property, and the same goes for wealthy businessmen.
Places such as pubs, hotels, restaurants, theaters, etc. are all prey for officers.
The targets of ordinary soldiers' land scraping are ordinary London minions, and this time they can scrape away people and money together.
Previously, Parliament had great illusions about negotiations, believing that the coalition would not do anything to itself or London.
When the city was sealed off by the coalition forces and then went door to door to search for property, I was dumbfounded.
Many people had received the news before, but they felt that Charles II and Parliament could solve the problem, so they did not go to the countryside to seek refuge.
Before the coalition closed the city, only a few people escaped, and hundreds of thousands of locals were now turned into hostages.
According to statistics obtained by William II, the population of London is approximately 400,000.
This is a statistics and estimate from the parliament, because there are still many outsiders, beggars, and street children.
You can conduct a proper census now. No matter what it is, it will eventually be caught.
It is not impossible for the locals to escape from London. They must either pay a large sum of money to the coalition forces or bet on whether their lives are tough enough.
The specific price is one thousand silver coins per person, regardless of age or sex.
Women don’t have so much money to deal with, so they use their bodies to make up for the difference.
If you're ugly or old, I'm sorry, your money will be confiscated and you'll have to stay on the boat.
The man doesn't even have a chance to compensate, so he just gets on the boat and prepares for an extremely exciting oriental adventure!
The locals who broke through from the French or Dutch defense areas still had a chance to survive. Since the Ming army was equipped with repeating rifles, and the people who came this time were veterans with good marksmanship, these guys managed to escape during the day. The probability is zero.
Mining honestly and living a clean life!
This is Emperor Haojing’s advice to all overseas miners!
Due to some uncontrollable factors, the city of London has been filled with smoke, and hundreds of smoke plumes are curling into the sky.
To be precise, this was a large-scale roundup with military significance.
William II believed that a minimum of 200,000 miners could be harvested. One person could earn ten silver coins, and the total would be two million silver coins. But this was an ideal situation.
According to the purchase price offered by Emperor Haojing, a man of appropriate age is worth twenty silver coins, a woman ten silver coins, and the ship owner and supplier split the amount half way.
But because the journey is too long, people will definitely die along the way, and the ship owner will definitely not make as much money as the supplier.
Fortunately, it can be filled with Ming Dynasty's specialties when returning, so the ship owner will not lose money inside or outside, unless there is a storm on the way.
"Oh my goodness! This Xiyi woman is so white!"
"Why don't you say that this Xiyi woman smells really bad, you idiot?"
"Get lost! Don't try to dampen my mood!"
"You want to have a mixed-race baby with someone else?"
"You are obviously jealous of us. You probably can't even give birth to a child, right? Hahahaha!"
"Hmph! I'll show you the baby right now! Give one to me!"
"What are you two bastards talking about here? Why don't you hurry up and get to work? You are thinking about Xiyi women all day long, and you are not afraid of kidney deficiency and backache?"
"Don't dare! Don't dare! Company commander, calm down, let's go now!"
The captured personnel and materials must be packed away while the daylight is good.
Neither Spain nor the United Kingdom in Europe can compare with the Ming Dynasty itself.
It's all dark at night, not to mention the cities of the Ming Dynasty, even the ports are inferior.
A power plant has been built at the Penglai base. The port is illuminated by street lights at night, and with sentries patrolling and standing guard, it is foolproof.
But here in Europe, you have to finish dinner before dark, then play with the Western women you like, and then go to bed.
After holding it in for more than a month, everyone finally has a place to release the pressure...
Facing the female relatives of the British enemy who looted Jiangnan, it was time for the Ming Dynasty King to "sacrifice his life for the country" again!
Of course, Jiexuan explicitly prohibited his subordinates from having in-depth communication with professional service personnel.
Many of these women work while sick. Once they are infected, they are basically useless, and special medicines like Zhenling cannot cure them.
After being reported or discovered, the offender will be placed under direct custody. If they return, they will be expelled from the military and simply pack up and get out.
For women in the British entertainment industry, Master Ming only wants money, not their lives.
They would not be let go, and they would be escorted onto the ship.
But at their destination, these women can continue to work in their previous jobs.
Emperor Haojing euphemistically called it—improving the lives of miners and increasing their welfare benefits!
Faced with a group of heavily made-up British women, who were choked by the smell when they came close, the Ming army officers and soldiers imprisoned them without committing any crime.
Every time she walked by, powder fell from her face. This kind of woman would definitely make the soldiers shy away.
If it were a new soldier, he might rush up hungry.
But those who came to fight were all veterans with rich actual combat experience. They could tell the opponent's strength at a glance.
"Wai Amin Yin Pel meat A Mei! No! What kind of god can you get from Mastersland to be healthy! Ou Youwei Obiax can run away from death!"
Each team of Ming soldiers who scraped the land would read these words to the British in the house before officially scraping the land.
Even though he spoke awkwardly, he could basically make the other party understand his purpose.
The original intention is: We are the troops of the Ming Empire, and you must all surrender unconditionally, otherwise you will be executed on the spot!
Of course, if the other party doesn't understand and wants to resist, it would be easier, just shoot!
Soon, half of the British people in South London understood the power of Master Ming's jumping-bean English.
We are all veterans, so we can control the situation and shoot as little as possible. After all, the British in front of us are all two-legged money!
"Evil Coding Rabbit, I'm evil Gritmont Guardsman, I'm going to be cowardly, and I'm going to be the Visant Rabbit, and I'm going to blow the Eastford dog!"
After the other party understood the purpose of their visit, the Ming army soldiers read out the second sentence.
Meaning: According to the agreement we made with your king, you will be sent to the east on a gold-mining journey.
Although he could continue talking later, it was useless to talk too much. The other party could spit out a hundred questions, and there was no need for the Ming soldiers to answer them all.
It's easy to know the answer. When they get on the ship, there will be documents who have learned English to explain the relevant situation to this group of prospective miners.
Anyone who can't think about it can die immediately.
You can also jump into the river when you get to the boat, but you will be beaten into a sieve.
The river was full of coalition ships, and any ship flying the British flag had to dock for inspection.
The congressmen became prisoners, and many of them were beaten up, feeling extremely aggrieved and angry.
I wanted to find Hyde to ask for an explanation, but Hyde had already run away with Charles II.
If little Cromwell doesn't come back to rescue, Parliament will have no army at all, and they will be just a bunch of lambs to be slaughtered by the coalition forces.
Some people spent money to escape, and some people spent money to escape, but they didn't succeed because many coalition officers and soldiers only recognized gold and silver, not pounds.
As a result, the unlucky guy couldn't even spend the money and was escorted to the ship like an ordinary mayor.
When the merchant ship sets sail, there will be no chance of escape.
However, out of care for their allies, even the British captured by the Ming army would give priority to the merchant ships of the Netherlands and France.
The shipowners of both companies came with money. As long as they took the money, they could get the "goods" and they could pull anchor and set sail in less than three hours.
Jiexuan also uses this method to achieve quick cash out. How many miners the other party installs is their own business.
"Gentlemen, damn Charlie betrayed Britain, betrayed London, betrayed everyone. He allowed the coalition forces to enter London and then looted it. I heard that he even ordered ships to transport all the people in the city away. What should we do now? "
Little Cromwell didn't expect that Charlie would do more cruel things than him. This was definitely a long-planned revenge.
"The current situation is very delicate. If the coalition forces are allowed to form an alliance with the royal army, our results can be imagined."
Marvel was very worried about this and wanted to stop it, but he was also worried about offending the coalition forces and getting himself burned.
"Then what should we do? We can't just watch those bandits burning, killing and looting in London, right?"
Ayrton advocated rescuing the city, but felt that the parliamentary army alone would suffer huge casualties.
"Gentlemen, we now only have 30,000 people, and our morale is low, and our weapons and equipment are much worse than those of the coalition forces. In addition, Charlie is very close to the coalition forces, which is very dangerous for us. It means that we are facing two enemies, one is the actual One of the enemies is a potential enemy. What we have to do is not to turn potential enemies into actual enemies. To put it bluntly, we cannot allow the royal army to form an alliance with the coalition forces, otherwise the only thing waiting for us is destruction!"
Fairfax's relatively accurate analysis of the situation made everyone feel that it did make some sense.
"Where's the Parliament? Where's that guy Hyde? Didn't they surrender to Charlie? What on earth is going on?"
Bradshaw is confused now. He can't tell whether it was Charlie who betrayed Parliament, or whether Charlie colluded with Parliament and betrayed London.
"John, do you think Charlie hates us the most or the Parliament?"
"...I really can't guess it!"
"Wouldn't it be a great thing for Charlie if we use the coalition forces to eliminate Parliament?"
"Ah? This...but members can be re-elected! Charlie can't eliminate the parliament!"
"But what if all of London is gone?"
“…Charlie really dares to do this?”
"Unfortunately that guy is doing it!"
"...God will not forgive him!"
"That guy has stopped thinking about this issue a long time ago and only wants to take revenge on us and the parliament!"
Bradshaw was speechless for a long time by Fairfax, and everyone was thinking about the previous conversation.
"Thomas is right. Parliament can limit Charlie's power, so Charlie will use the coalition forces to eliminate Parliament. We can limit Charlie's military power, so Charlie will use the coalition forces to eliminate us."
Marvell followed Fairfax's words, and the situation became precarious.
"Perhaps there is no need for the coalition forces to take action at all. As long as the coalition forces provide them with a batch of weapons and equipment, the royal army can defeat us!"
Ayrton had seen various weapons of the coalition, which greatly stimulated him, especially tanks, which his own side did not have at all.
"Then what do we do?"
"Show goodwill to the coalition forces, win over the other side, and try to buy a batch of weapons as well!"
"How much will this cost?"
"A lot of money, but necessary and worth it! Just like the general of the Ming Empire said, the successful party will step on the corpse of the failed party and sign a contract with the coalition!"
"..."
These words really hurt everyone's self-esteem, but they are indeed true.
No one doubts that the successful side will continue to fight with the coalition forces, because too much has been consumed in the previous war.
The coalition forces number at least 200,000 people. They are well-equipped and well-trained. They are not a ragtag group.
Fighting against the coalition forces is almost self-destruction, and only a fool would do this.
It seems that only Charlie is the stupidest, but he is still far from a fool...
At this moment, not a single man in Charles II's army was killed, and it was stationed twenty miles west of London.
As a king, when he heard that London had been sacked by the coalition forces, he was in a good mood and held a banquet in honor of his civil servants and generals.
"In the future, this country will no longer need a so-called parliament. A model like France will be enough!"
After Charles II finished speaking, he raised his glass in public and drank half a glass of wine.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid there are still people who may object to this!"
The Duke of York agrees with his brother's approach, but it is not that easy to implement.
"Didn't William say that there won't be anyone in London in the future? If that's the case, that means there will be no MPs. Where would the Parliament be without MPs? Speaking of which, if the Parliament hadn't colluded with that damn traitor, how could we have offended so many people? Multiple countries? The parliament should be fully responsible for this, and they are the ones to blame for the current result!"
Thinking of the two scourges of Parliament and Cromwell, Charles II suddenly became furious and threw his wine glass on the table, spilling some of the wine inside.
"Without Parliament, we may be stronger than France. With Parliament, we are worse than the Netherlands. They are a bunch of selfish flies, harming the interests of the country and the king."
The Duke of York echoed the words, which before would have been met with boos, but now would be met with applause.
Hyde and other civil servants did not dare to express their position. If this news reached the parliament, they would not be able to get along in the future.
If the Parliament is completely eradicated, how to make a living in the future will have to be carefully discussed with other people.
"You're absolutely right. What's the situation with the rebels?"
"Your Majesty, the rebels are still trying to contact the coalition forces!"
"How shameless! After the parliament is gone, I want to see where they go to find supporters!"
