Chapter 753: Seeing the King Falling into the Water and Le Shi Nordic (Three in One)(1/2)
James II asked at this time: "Are there any objections now?"
Since signing the London Treaty with the Ming Dynasty, James II has been planning to strengthen his royal power.
Therefore, he had long used the loans he received in the Ming Dynasty to strengthen the strength of his Royal Army guards and used money to consolidate the loyalty of these guards to him.
And now, these congressmen are naturally letting him control them.
After turning back, these members of parliamentarians naturally did not dare to raise objections at the gun of James II, and had to express their opinions to pass the bill.
They had to admit that James II was a monarch different from Charles II and was obviously much more powerful and violent.
Monmouth and Xu Qianxue both looked at this scene with fear and did not dare to say anything.
It was not until after leaving that Monmouth found Xu Qianxue and said gritted his teeth: "He is already fighting against the people of the entire English!"
Xu Qianxue smiled bitterly and said, "It's very similar to the tyrant in Ming Dynasty today. When he was in power in the early days! If I expected it well, he would become more powerful next time. He would continue to deprive the people of the people in the name of maintaining his country, and not stop until the gentry and serfs are the same. Such a tyrant can do everything for his own foundation. He will collude with the serfs and force the entire dynasty to become his slaves!"
"The British Empire is not the British Empire with him, James II alone!"
Monmouth drew out his sword angrily, and after saying that, he said, "I want to organize the people to rebel against him, and judge him, James II!"
"inappropriate!"
Xu Qianxue stretched out his palm to Monmouth, and then stared at him tightly: "Please don't forget that he is not just the king of the British Empire, but also a lackey of the Ming Kingdom!"
"Once you rebel, he will take the opportunity to collude with Ming to carry out bloody suppression on you. Anyway, he can sell all interests at any time to win the sympathy of Ming. Once Ming joins in, you should understand that the success of the rebellion will be very small. Japan and North Korea are examples. The powerful and powerful bureaucrats in their country have raised troops countless times. As long as Ming does not want them to perish, they will not be able to perish."
"It's Ming again, this damn Ming country! If it weren't for Ming country, he might not have become so cruel!"
Monmouth said.
Xu Qianxue replied: "I can only express my regret for this! All of this is indeed a disaster brought by Ming Kingdom. To be precise, it is a disaster brought by Zhu Youxiao's tyrant! If it weren't for Zhu Youxiao's tyrant, maybe I wouldn't have come here. All countries in the world will never fight, and all the scholars and officials from all countries can wander in the forest without knowing the harm of swords and weapons! It's a pity that the sky has no eyes, and this tyrant has given birth to this tyrant, which has left no peace in the world."
Monmouth continued to ask, "Is there really no way to prevent James II from becoming the second Zhu Youxiao?"
"There is a solution, but it may not be successful. However, it is indeed more appropriate than direct rebellion."
"What's the solution? Tell me quickly!"
"Naturally, he started to die suddenly!"
After Xu Qianxue replied, he said: "As far as I can see, the Ming Kingdom cares more about their interests in the British Empire, and does not care who the monarch of the British Empire is. If we resist explicitly, James II can suppress us by colluding with the Ming Kingdom, but if we let him die suddenly, we can immediately choose a monarch that suits our wishes. At that time, as long as this monarch continues to recognize the interests of the Ming Kingdom in our British Empire, the Ming Kingdom will naturally only turn a blind eye."
"It makes sense! Then I won't raise my troops to fight against him, James II. I should find a way to make him, James II suddenly die."
Monmouth replied in agreement.
Therefore, after Xu Qianxue's persuasion, Monmouth and some English nobles who were close to him did not directly rebel, but resisted the iron-fisted rule of King James II.
However, there were still radical British nobles who resolutely rebelled because they could not bear such a domineering rule as James II.
Relying on his royal army equipped with Ming-style equipment and being a famous English general, James II quickly quelled the rebellion and bloodily suppressed the English nobles who resisted him.
So the English nobles could only temporarily surrender to the strong rule of James II.
James II was quite proud of this and was determined to continue to strengthen his rule. He also issued the king's order to abolish the Congress, and the 100,000 troops were expanded and fifty warships were built on the grounds that the members of the parliament would eventually become a place for the illegitimate people to rebel.
For a time, James II's royal power was greatly improved, and the military power he controlled was much stronger. He even relied on this military force to increase taxes on Wales, which surrendered to him, and also strengthened control over Scotland.
In addition, James II also took advantage of the opportunity of his country's income to vigorously develop science and technology and encourage scientific research.
To this end, he also went to Cambridge at the suggestion of his confidant minister, Leverland, to encourage scholars who were transferred from other places to Cambridge to continue to contribute to the British Empire's scientific and technological cause in Cambridge.
But on the day he came to Cambridge, he suddenly fell into the water while crossing Cambridge by boat.
With a plop.
He had to shout, "Save, save me."
Liverland, the confidant minister who was also on the ship, did not react at all and just sneered.
Then he jumped into the water, then held James II to the shore and shouted: "Save Your Majesty!"
In the end, James II was rescued ashore, but he was infected with lung disease. After a few months, the treatment was ineffective and he died suddenly.
...
Zhu Youxiao learned about this news several months later and was quite shocked: "James II died of lung disease due to falling into the water? When did the matter of falling into the water become global!"
"According to their own words, it was just an accident, and their men had contacted our London officials, saying that even if James II had such an unfortunate situation, they would continue to acknowledge the previous series of terms that the king had signed with me during his reign."
Zhang Tongchang said to Zhu Youxiao at this time.
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao roughly guessed the real reason behind James II's fall into the water, and nodded, "Since that's the case, let's ignore this matter for now. James II may have expected such a step."
"At present, both Britain and France have successively encountered the king's fall into the water, all of which are related to the king's desire to concentrate the royal power, and they have taken too much. To put it bluntly, they cannot do it themselves to save the serfs, but they still have to do it in the Ming Dynasty."
Wen Tiren said this at this time.
"In Britain and France, we must destroy France first and completely realize the unification of the European continent! Philip, the regent of the French Bourbon dynasty, is a person who is unwilling to be fully Chinese. He only wants to maintain his rule by cooperation with this dynasty. However, as our Ming Dynasty progresses steadily on the European continent, Philip must have been restless and began to worry that his Bourbon dynasty would be destroyed by our Ming Dynasty?"
Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.
At that time, the entire Bourbon dynasty was indeed panicked.
After all, the Ming Empire has indeed reached Vienna now.
It is not much distance from France.
Louis XV even asked Philippe: "Uncle, will our dynasty be destroyed by the Ming Kingdom?"
Philip did not answer him, but looked up at the stars.
He now regrets a little, regretting that he did something to let his brother fall into the water in order not to sacrifice the interests of his noble class.
Because he had to admit that his personal ability in military affairs was limited.
He really didn't know how to deal with the expansion of Ming Dynasty to the west.
In fact, it is not just France that has no way to go about the current western advance of the Ming Dynasty.
There is no other European countries.
Karksten and his nobles of the Principal of Prussia did not defend Corniesburg. The Ming army used powerful explosives to blew up the walls of Corniesburg and attacked them with the help of local serfs.
Karksten was captured alive and was sentenced to death by the Ming Dynasty court to deter the Western barbarians who attempted to corrupt the officials and generals of the Ming Empire.
Next, it was not France that was most worried about being destroyed by the Ming Dynasty's army, but the United Kingdom of Denmark and Norway, the Kingdom of Sweden, which was across the sea from the Principal of Prussia, and the Holy Roman Empire close to Austria.
Zhu Cizhuo once again showed his command ability. In order to paralyze the joint army formed by the United Kingdom of Denmark and Norway and the Kingdom of Sweden, he concentrated a large number of ships in the direction of Copenhagen in the Baltic Sea, while secretly disguising the army as migrant workers. Finally, he assembled 300,000 troops in the area of Lake Ladoga near Vyborg City.
At this time, the joint army of the United Kingdom of Denmark and the Kingdom of Sweden thought that the Ming army was going to cross the Baltic Sea and directly attack Copenhagen because of misjudgment of intelligence.
For this reason, the Swedish Kingdom transferred a large number of troops from the eastern Finland area to the Gothenburg area, which is very close to Copenhagen.
During this period, Finland was ruled by the Swedish kingdom.
The Swedish Kingdom of this era was indeed a European power.
Because he also had his own colonies in the Americas, he even captured Copenhagen, the capital of the arrogant Denmark Kingdom, more than ten years ago, and the Denmark Kingdom was forced to cede many territories to the Swedish Kingdom.
If it weren't for the emergence of the Ming Dynasty, he would have even become more prosperous during this period.
However, the Swedish Kingdom today clearly understands the principle of losing his lips and teeth, and actively supports the United Kingdom of Denmark and Norway to face the Ming army in Copenhagen.
All the 50 warships that he had added after the same military expansion and preparation for war in recent years were transferred to the waters near Copenhagen to help Denmark and the Kingdom of Norway to investigate the movements of the Ming army.
But while these two Nordic powers were busy, the Ming Dynasty's 300,000 troops had entered Finland, forming a long line of scattered soldiers, as if they were entering a no-man's land.
But the Swedish Kingdom did not leave much military force in this area, which led to the emergence of so many Ming troops, and not many Swedish officers and soldiers responsible for the provocations noticed the large-scale emergence of the Ming army.
When the Dragon Boat Festival approached the fifty-fifth year of the Apocalypse, Helsinki, which is still a small coastal town in Finland, was gradually surrounded by the Ming army.
Bao Zorov, the leader of the three hundred Swedish soldiers stationed here, was extremely shocked and said in disbelief: "How could there be so many Ming troops! Hurry up, send someone to take a boat to inform the king that the purpose of the Ming army is not Copenhagen, but to seize the territory of the Sumi people first."
In this era, the natives in Finland called themselves Sumi people, so this area was also called the territory of Sumi people.
"When the Holy Roman Empire, Brandenburg, Saxony Election State, Hanover Election State and other vassal states of the Holy Roman Empire knew that the Ming army was going to attack Copenhagen by boat, they also sent their respective ships and horses to help with the war. Even France, Rome, and Britain sent fleets to support it. Now hundreds of warships have been gathered in Copenhagen. Everyone hopes that we can stop the Ming army's attack."
When the Ming army launched a large-scale attack on Finland, Swedish King Carl XI was saying some words of encouragement to Denmark King Christian V.
Because of the emergence of the Ming Dynasty, these two kings, who had a deep hatred, were as close as brothers at this time.
After hearing what Carl XI said, Denmark King Christian V also said: "This is the critical moment of my survival in the West. The United Kingdom of Denmark and Norway should do its best to defend Copenhagen! and protect my civilization!"
"Report! Your Majesty, the Governor of Helsinki, including Rozov, has reported an emergency war. A large number of Ming troops appeared in the Helsinki area, with as many as 200,000 to 300,000, and all of them were iron chariots leading the way."
Karl XI's personal guard Otav suddenly came to Karl XI and said.
After hearing this, Carl XI was stunned.
Christian V also half-opened his mouth. After a while, he said, "So, the Ming army is not going to cross the Baltic Sea to attack my Copenhagen, but to march from Finland?"
"What should I do?"
Carl XI also started to speak at this time and said, "There are only more than 9,000 troops there! And I concentrated almost all the troops in Gothenburg."
"This Ming army commander is really cunning!"
William, the general election leader of Brandenburg, couldn't help but say something at this time.
...
"Travel the death! Speed up and eat rice dumplings in Turku!"
