Babbitt took the remaining men with him and ran for unknown distance to a forest.

Looking at the few remaining cavalrymen under the moonlight, Babbitt felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

The once strong Spanish Empire had begun to weaken. These cavalry had been managed by Babbitt for many years, but he did not expect that the entire army would be wiped out in less than one night.

But little was gained.

Damn Long Yanren!

Damn Qin Changfeng, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have been so miserable. I didn't expect him to set an ambush there.

"Chief, what should we do now?"

what to do?

Babbitt looked in the direction of Yuncheng, the place where they escaped, the city of Longyan people, and he was suddenly filled with anger.

He wants to destroy Longyan City, but Spain is powerless now.

Since the rise of Britain, large areas of Spain's colonies have been plundered, and they have also been driven to some remote places.

There is no oil or water in these territories at all, and the Isthmus of Panama was originally their important route in the Americas, but now it is also occupied by Long Yan.

Their Spanish troops in the Americas are insufficient. Although Longyan's territory is not large, if they really want to take action, they have backward armaments and a small number of troops.

There was no advantage at all, and it was precisely because of this that Babbitt thought of launching a surprise attack to see if he could deal a serious blow to Long Yan.

No matter how bad it is, it can weaken Long Yan's power, but unexpectedly, Long Yan not only suffered no losses this time.

He even joined a cavalry team!

"Go back and defend." Babbitt took one last look in the direction of Yuncheng, then turned around helplessly and mounted his horse.

The other Spanish cavalry who survived did not feel happy at all, but were in a state of despair.

"Chief, I heard that France and Long Yan are enemies now. Should we..."

"go back!"

Babbitt said angrily and directly.

The Spanish cavalry suddenly stopped talking. It was not that Babbitt had not thought about it this way.

But Spain and France are still enemies. They asked France for help as soon as they were defeated. If this word spreads out, they will lose their face.

However, Babbitt narrowed his eyes. Britain and France were fighting fiercely and did not notice Long Yan's small tricks at all.

They didn't even know that Long Yan had already started building a second city in Panama, so he couldn't be embarrassed and take the initiative to tell them.

But... I didn’t say that I couldn’t let them hear the news.

"Spread the news about Long Yan building a city here first and see how Britain and France react."

At this moment, the Queen of Tsarist Russia, Elizabeth I, frowned and looked at the battle report sent from the front.

"Empress, General Polnev has lived up to expectations and achieved a great victory in Poland. He should be rewarded."

At this time, the member of the conservative Naresh family spoke.

Elizabeth glanced at Representative Naresh who was speaking, and said calmly: "It is indeed worthy of a reward."

Congressman Naresh's face was filled with joy. Polnev was a general promoted by his family. He had made great contributions in the war this time. If he was rewarded, the Naresh family's face would also be bright.

"To General Polnev, count."

Councilor Naresh immediately thanked him, Count, that is a nobleman of Tsarist Russia.

He is not an ordinary nobleman. Polnev was rewarded on the battlefield, so when he comes back in the future, his reward will also include military power.

Although the earl is only a third-class noble, with military power, his status is no worse than that of some viscounts!

Even stronger!

The war has just begun. If Polnev has made great contributions to Tsarist Russia, it is not impossible to become a member of the parliament.

"However, what do you members think of the current war in Poland?" Elizabeth I asked.

Her eyes were always on Poland. Originally, Elizabeth had no suspense about Polnev taking over Poland.

Poland is still a serfdom country, the military has not yet undergone reforms, and the society is still very backward.

If Polnev can defeat such a country, then it can be seen that these conservative generals really have no real qualities.

"Huh, Queen! Everyone knows that Poland is a country of serfdom. Wouldn't it be a long time for Polnev to win? That kind of country will have trouble if it doesn't win."

Representative Naresh suddenly showed a dissatisfied look and looked at the member who spoke, the member of the Dolgoruky family, Dolgoruky!

Although both of their families are conservatives, Elizabeth is now in power because of the joint support of their two families.

Therefore, the two families also maintain different opinions on the distribution of power. In short, they do not want the other party to take advantage.

"If you have the ability, go ahead. Do you have any generals in your family who can fight?"

"you……"

The members of the two families suddenly quarreled, but Elizabeth I had no intention of stopping it.

Osilev also fell silent after taking a look at Elizabeth's calm face.

Now Osilev's status is no longer comparable to before. He brought together two major conservative families in Moscow to cooperate and get rid of Menshikov.

In one fell swoop, Elizabeth I ascended to the position of Empress of Tsarist Russia.

Now that he is sitting in the position of Speaker of Parliament, his power can be said to be second only to that of Elizabeth I.

After the two sides exchanged opinions enthusiastically, no one was able to convince the other.

"Narysh, in short, Polnev, a guy who once shined shoes, cannot become a count!"

"Oh, even a shoe shiner can defeat the Poles. You Dolgoruky's are all cowards. Why don't you send someone to do it if you have the guts?"

"You!" Dolgoruky suddenly slapped the table, but his face suddenly relaxed and he said: "This is the House of Lords, and we, the members, should raise our hands to vote."

Upon hearing this, Naresh was speechless.

The House of Lords, excluding Elizabeth I, has a total of thirteen members.

Naresh and his affiliated families occupy four seats in the House of Lords.

However, the Dolgoruky family occupies six seats in the House of Lords, and nearly half of the people in the House of Lords listen to his ruling.

Therefore, it is very simple for the Dolgoruky family to pass a bill they want to establish in the House of Lords.

For the remaining three seats, Osilev sided with Emperor Elisabeth, while the other two members remained neutral.

"Why, are you scared now? Let's vote. Let's see if this bill can be passed!"

Naresh looked at Elizabeth I, this...

Elizabeth I was quite helpless. Although she was the queen and had the greatest power on the surface, secretly her doubts still needed to be discussed and voted on by the parliamentarians.

She can confer the title of Polnev, but the treatment, power, castle, and land associated with the title.

All have to be discussed.

At this moment, Osilev suddenly spoke: "Then vote."
