As soon as Princess Anne's words came out, the atmosphere in the king's office suddenly dropped to freezing point.
James II, FitzJames, and Arabella Churchill all knew that this chubby, chubby Princess Anne was trying to force her into the womb!
And they all know that the princess's forced uterus is very likely to be successful.
Because James II insisted on believing in the Roman Catholic Church, his rule in England had been on the brink of crisis for more than ten years. If it weren't for his background, King Louis XIV of France, who became Louis the Frankish Emperor, Britain's Glorious Revolution would have broken out long ago.
But Louis' support was not unconditional. In order to gain Louis' support, James II had to sacrifice the British national interests and the commercial interests of British capitalists in some aspects... For example, the English army was sent to Central Europe to participate in the long-term war. The Great Southern War, but the most important fruits of victory were taken away by Louis the Great and Rakshasa Tsar Peter I!
This made the English Army, which had suffered heavy losses and suffered a lot in the long war, extremely dissatisfied!
For another example, the British East India Company originally controlled most of the trade between India and Europe. However, due to the order of James II, the armed merchant ships of the British East India Company were not allowed to use force to engage in "free competition" with the armed merchant ships of France, Sweden, Portugal, Spain, and even the Great Mongolia... As a result, the East India Company Market share in India continues to decline.
This made England's capitalists and the Royal Navy very disgusted with the king!
What's more, James II also tried to give fair treatment to Irish Catholics - Ireland has always been a stronghold of the Jacobite party in history, because this autocratic king stubbornly believed that the Catholic Irish were also his people. . But this is obviously not in line with England’s progressive values!
In addition, the Protestant nobles in England took advantage of Henry VIII's opportunity to regulate Catholicism and turned the property that belonged to the Catholic Church and some Catholic nobles into their own property.
Therefore, what the powerful English Protestant nobles fear most is that the royal power of England will be controlled by a devoutly Catholic king! And James II was obviously a very devout Catholic king... and he also planned to raise little James to be a devout Catholic!
Therefore, James II has long been a thorn in the side of the British Protestant nobles!
At this time, James asked Louis XIV to be a matchmaker and asked his son James Jr. to marry the daughter of the former King of Poland Sobieski... James's heart is known to all Protestants!
This king is going to rebel! Polish foreign aid must be invited to help create a rebellion in the Protestant-controlled parliament!
James, a Scottish immigrant, has no roots in England. His father is still a beheader. Now he has offended the English army, navy, nobles, and capitalists. Now he is actually planning to rebel. The Protestant members of Parliament How can we tolerate him?
So this "Indian kowtow" incident just gave everyone an excuse to cause trouble... Regardless of whether James II kowtows or not, they are going to cause trouble.
If James II kneels down quickly, they will cause trouble in the name of "the king has lost his power and humiliated the country"!
If James II had been straight-minded, they would have passed a resolution in the name of "the king must be held responsible for the massacre," requiring the king to kowtow and apologize—even though the massacres in the twelve states of North America were all committed by Protestants and Puritans. But since it is the king's territory, King James of England must be responsible for kowtow!
And after the resolution is passed, if the king kneels down, the parliament will intensify its efforts to organize an investigation team and continue to humiliate the king in the name of thoroughly investigating the truth of the massacre... As long as the king's image in the eyes of the people is completely tarnished , England can change its king or simply recreate a republic!
If the king insists on not kneeling, then the Parliament will accuse the twelve states of North America of failing to protect the loyal people of the New England Dominion and failing to fulfill their obligations as a king after the twelve states of North America were attacked by the Aztecs - next If the king continues to be a coward, the parliament can remove the king for dereliction of duty! If the king wants to send troops to North America, then Parliament will release news that the king will force one hundred thousand English Protestants to fight in North America...and then incite the citizens of London who are dissatisfied with the king and unwilling to serve as soldiers to cause trouble. ...
In short, no matter what choice James II made, Parliament had prepared a crime for him! Unless he is willing to convert to the Anglican Church, as long as James II rebels against the God of Rome and believes in the God of the Anglican Church, then everyone will still be a monarch and a minister. No matter if you have to kowtow or pay compensation, everyone will help you, so that you can live in a loyal life. Otherwise, this matter will never be over!
As for the interference of the Frank Empire...those Protestant MPs are not afraid!
England is a country in the North Atlantic Alliance, and is now being bullied by the Ming Dynasty and the Aztecs. Louis XIV should have led the North Atlantic Alliance to fight the Ming Dynasty and the Aztecs, or at least wipe out the Aztec kingdom, right?
Now that Louis did not dare to confront the Ming Dynasty or send troops to the Aztecs, how could he have the dignity to bully the English Parliament?
And the English army and navy are not papery!
Princess Anne is the heir to the British throne designated by the British Parliament...
"No!"
Knowing his daughter's intentions, James II's stubborn temper rose. He stood up straight, with blazing eyes, looking at his ambitious daughter Anne who had embraced the Protestant faith, and said word by word: "As an English, Scottish, and King of Ireland and Wales, Lord of New England, Protector of the colonies of the East India Company and the Company of the Hudson, Lord of Jamaica, the Virgin, and the Bahamas, true believer in the Roman Catholic Church, I will never be humble to any infidel. head, let alone kneel down and kowtow, even if I lose the throne for it. If the parliament thinks that I must kneel down and kowtow to those soulless dead Indians, then I would rather... give up the throne!
Moreover, I, James Stuart, am the king, not a slave of Parliament, and I will not kneel to be the king! "
After hearing James II's statement, Princess Anne breathed a sigh of relief - because her father only said that he would rather give up the throne, and did not say that he would rather die. In other words, there will be no civil war, no bloodshed, and her position as queen is stable.
It would be hard to say if Britain started a civil war again. Not to mention that the parliamentary army was defeated by the royal army. Even if the parliamentary army won, then James II would seize and chop off his head... The victorious parliamentary army would really Do you need a woman named Stuart to be the Queen of England? Wouldn't it be better to just build a republic?
"Father," Princess Anne frowned, trying to pretend to be sad, "you can reconsider the issue of conversion... As long as you join the Anglican Church, the Parliament will support you through it. Immediate crisis.”
"No!" James II said categorically, "I will never betray God for the throne...Although I have done many things that are contrary to the teachings of Jesus, my faith in Heavenly Father remains the same. The Holy See’s loyalty remains the same. I just don’t have the determination of my father, Charles I, who was willing to shed blood for his faith, but I will never betray my faith for the sake of power!”
Princess Anne breathed out: "Father, I will convey your wishes to Parliament... Parliament will soon condemn the massacre in the North American colonies and ask you to pay tribute to the Indians who were killed during the reign of the Stuart Dynasty." People apologize and compensate!”
"I will never apologize to the soulless heathen, let alone make compensation... because to do so would be to betray God!" James II's answer was very firm, "I will also make a public statement, Parliament’s request to refute!”
Princess Anne nodded: "Okay, then the Parliament will pass a resolution requiring you to give up the throne."
"Give up, give up!" James II said, "Faith is above all else to me!"
Princess Anne said: "As long as you make a statement to give up the throne, you can leave England safely. Your overseas property will not be pursued by me or the Parliament, and no one will hunt you and little James. You can rest assured." Retire in France. If little James is willing to give up Catholicism and convert to the Anglican Church in the future, I will make him the Crown Prince of England!"
Princess Anne and her husband had given birth to more than ten children, but none of them grew up. So she didn't expect to be able to find an heir again, so she just planned to indulge in the Queen's addiction and have a sister and a younger brother in the future (this can be considered a brother-supporting devil, right?) Forget it.
"Okay," James II nodded, "That's it!"
At this time, James did not think that his son James Jr., like him and his father, was a master who did not love the country but loved God!
When King James of England, who intended to rebel, negotiated the terms of his abdication with his daughter, the alternate queen proposed by Parliament, the British Parliament held an emergency meeting overnight and launched the "Kowtow Revolution" (this is the scornful name for this revolution by the Jacobites) ) process. That night, it was passed that the king was condemned for his gross negligence in allowing the group of exiles in the New World to massacre Indians, and the king was also required to kowtow to the Indians and pay compensation to the exterminated Indians.
Of course, compensation cannot be paid to a dead person, and there is no such thing as burning paper money in Europe. Therefore, the British Parliament plans to establish a trust fund, managed by bankers designated by the Parliament, to buy England's national debt, and use the proceeds from the national debt to carry out Holocaust commemoration activities...
Of course, King James would not accept the accusations from Parliament. After issuing a refutation statement, he renounced the throne and then took a queen, a legitimate son, eleven mistresses and a large group of illegitimate children with him. Ten boxes of gold and silver treasures boarded a royal yacht and swam directly to the other side of the English Channel.
The day after James II left England, Princess Anne, supported by a group of MPs, ascended the throne at Hampton Court Palace - the era of Queen Anne had arrived!
However, it was beyond the expectations of Queen Anne and the members of the British Parliament. Although they solved the problem of "who kowtows and who is the king" as quickly as possible, the vast Atlantic Ocean still prevented the news from spreading in the first place. Twelve states in North America - A trip from the UK to Boston takes forty to fifty days with favorable winds. If you include the time to get on and off the boat and wait for the right wind direction and sea conditions, it can take three to four months, which is already enough. Extremely fast.
But those American grandfathers and grandfathers in the twelve states of North America can’t wait!
These people have a guilty conscience - now is not an era when the United States dominates the world, but it is an era when the United States is afraid of "Mexico"! The Aztecs had a population of six million and a standing army of 200,000, which could be expanded to 300,000 at any time... while the total population of the twelve North American colonies was only 275,000.
How to order people and how to resist the powerful "Mexico"?
Moreover, the Aztec Kingdom also has a very powerful "ally" Shang Fang!
The population of this country may not be as large as that of the Aztecs, but it is a vassal of the Ming Dynasty... The Ming Dynasty was simply like a kingdom of God to the twelve states of North America at this time!
The twelve states in North America are now being targeted by the Aztecs, Shang Fang, and the Great Ming Dynasty... It’s like the sky is about to fall and the earth is about to sink!
Even though the twelve states have been fully mobilized and on alert, they have only managed to expand the number of militia to 35,000, which is not enough to fill the teeth of the Great Tomorrow Soldiers.
Therefore, in the three months of June, July, and August 1698, the entire twelve states were enveloped in an atmosphere of imminent disaster.
And terrible news came one after another in August 1698.
First of all, the Great Powers Conference in Versailles is about to be held. The imperial ambassadors of the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia have arrived in Frankfurt. The imperial ambassador of the Ming Dynasty, Guo Youde, also gave a speech in front of the Ming Dynasty Embassy in Versailles, expressing his firm opposition to the white colonists of the twelve North American states against the native Indians. Extinction!
"My Healing Game"
Secondly, the smugglers who went to Elizabeth City, a coastal commercial port in Texas, brought back the Ming Dynasty prince. Zhu Celing, the Khan of the Yin family, was about to marry the Aztec princess Jennifer Montezuma... This incident Ordinary royal marriages, in the eyes of the exiles in the twelve states of North America, are simply a sign before the end!
They had been worried about the powerful Yin family and the Aztecs joining forces before, but now they are not joining forces, but getting married!
And the third message that came was even more terrifying - this news came from Elizabeth City. It said that the Yin family Khan tribe, which had always been wandering around Texas, actually divided a third of its troops and began to march towards the Mississippi River. They are coming to destroy the twelve states!
Feeling that a disaster was imminent, the big shots in the twelve North American states finally couldn't bear it anymore and decided to convene a Continental Congress in September 1698 to decide the future and destiny of the twelve states!
