Charles II gritted his teeth and endured the tear-like pain from his back.

However, tears still couldn't help but shed tears, like pearls with broken threads, falling on the deck.

Moreover, in order to get a few less whips, Charles II had to sob, "I'm sorry for causing damage to your country! But although I am the king of the British Empire, I can't stop this!"

Liu Zhaoji ignored Charles II and continued to smoke him.

The Ming soldiers on the deck also watched all this silently, as if they were watching their general whip up objects that didn't care about their lives and dignity, and they didn't care much.

It was not until Liu Zhaoji got tired of thrusting himself that he gave up.

At that time, Charles II was already covered in flesh and blood. When a gust of sea breeze blew by, his whole body was trembling like a needle.

Xu Qianxue, who came with James, felt very distressed when he saw this.

He did not expect that Charles II, the benevolent master whom he respected, would be abused in this way in front of him.

Xu Qianxue couldn't help but think of the saying "The king was humiliated and the minister died."

But he asked himself that he could not do the same for the death of Charles II.

So, now he could only suppress his anger and watch Charles II be beaten.

At this time, James just watched Liu Zhaoji beat Charlie II.

He naturally knew that this was a great humiliation to his British Empire.

But he knew that he could not anger the Ming army now, which made the Ming army think that it would completely destroy its Greater London City.

However, this scene of being ravaged still made him feel so uncomfortable that he had to pinch his flesh with his nails and use pain to cover up the anger in his heart.

At the same time, James also glanced at Xu Qianxue.

He really wanted to grab Xu Qianxue's collar now and asked angrily: "What you said about benevolent politics can save the country? Why is it useless in front of the domineering Ming Kingdom?!"

"According to the convention, put him in sheepskin, put him in a shackle, and then put him in an iron cage half a man tall, and raise him with good vegetables and meat. When the time comes, another boat will come to escort him back to Beijing."

Liu Zhaoji gave an order at this time.

"yes!"

A team of Jinyiwei, who had already prepared, came and put shackles on Charles II's neck and limbs, then pulled off his coat, criticized the sheepskin on him, tied it with iron wire, and then attached an iron chain to the shackles under his neck, and a Jinyiwei led the iron chain to the cabin.

Charles II had no choice but to stand up and enter the cabin with the Jinyiwei who was leading him.

"His Majesty!"

Xu Qianxue suddenly howled in pain at this time and knelt down.

Seeing Charles II's appearance, he couldn't hold back.

James did not collapse because of this, he seemed to have had an epiphany at this moment.

He suddenly understood that in the face of absolute strength, no kindness is nothing!

Liu Zhaoji only glanced at Xu Qianxue at this time, but ignored him and looked at James: "You can send someone to discuss peace with us now!"

"good!"

James nodded.

Then, Liu Zhaoji turned around to Tang Bin, a civil servant in Daming who was responsible for contacting England, and ordered: "Shaocheng Tang, please go with Mr. Tan Qian and others."

Tang Bin and Qian Zheng Tan Dinggui nodded, then took their subordinates out and came to James: "Please, Lord Duke of York!"

"plz follow me."

James said, then glanced at Xu Qianxue who was still sobbing, and then ordered the British soldiers he brought, "Please help me up!"

Therefore, Xu Qianxue was supported by two British soldiers and got off the Ming Dynasty's "Ninghe King" warship.

When a traitor reaches the point where he has a strong affection for the king, it is also rare in the world.

Tang Bin, an official from the Ming Dynasty who walked with him on the banks of the Thames, looked at Xu Qianxue with great concentration.

Because both were originally from Han officials.

It's just that one is now representing the Ming Empire to negotiate with England, but one is already one of the many lost nobles in England.

Tang Bin and others were placed in several luxurious rooms in Westminster Palace by James.

He himself went to the undisbanded parliamentary site and informed the members of the parliament that Mingguo agreed to the peace talks after taking away the king.

The British nobles all breathed a sigh of relief.

For them, it is indeed a good thing to be able to protect their own property.

As for the king, it doesn't matter.

At this time, a member of parliament offered his advice: "I think we have to establish a new king, so that it is easy to contact the Ming Kingdom."

All members of Congress agreed.

Because England did not recognize the status of the illegitimate child, because Charles II did not have a son who comply with the legal system, the members of the parliament unanimously agreed to let James inherit the title of his brother Charles II.

James didn't really think of this king in his heart.

Because he knew that if he became this king now, it would mean that he would become the first king in the history of the British Empire to seek peace from the Ming Kingdom.

But James knew that he had no reason to refuse now, and England now does need a king to save him.

Therefore, James still accepted the support of parliament and became James II.

James II began to assign officials to be responsible for negotiating with the Ming Dynasty.

James II appointed Coleman as the Negotiation Secretary, formed a negotiating team, and asked Xu Qianxue to join in to negotiate with the Ming people at Westminster Palace.

"First, ceded Mona Island to the Imperial Empire as our military base for maintaining order in the North Atlantic;"

"Second, immediately introduce the most severe bill to prohibit the export of all Wuxiang and other cigarettes banned by the Emperor Mingming's imperial edict! Establish a special smoking ban agency and armed force. For those who still violate the bill, the lightest punishment must be hanging! And agree with the Emperor Ming that once the Emperor Ming finds that British Yi is smuggling Wuxiang and other illegal opiums into the territory of Huang Ming, England and Geely must cooperate to extradite the criminals to the Ming Dynasty and compensate for the corresponding losses!"

"Third, you and others must compensate the losses caused by the smuggling of Wuxiang to the people of the Emperor Ming Dynasty, as well as the military expenses incurred by the incident, totaling 21 million taels of silver;"

"Fourth, trade with Huangming and its subordinate countries shall not be prohibited. At least five cities in London, Liverpool, Bristol, Birmingham and Leeds shall be opened to trade with Huangming; the people of Huangming are allowed to live here, and the court of Huangming sends consular officials here. The regulations committed by Huangming people in that country shall not be handled according to the laws of the other country, and can only be handed over to the consul and requested the corresponding judicial department to handle it;"

"Fifth, to agree on tariffs, Huangming and its affiliated merchants should pay import goods tax, and England has no right to be independent and will give Huangming merchants the most favored-nation treatment."
