But Xu Qianxue was still valued by the new king and was retained as a member of parliament because he was a man from the Ming Dynasty after all.

People always look up to everything related to the strong.

The powerful people in England are no exception.

However, William III was a man who was willing to share power with the powerful, so he accepted the Bill of Rights in the newly convened parliament, making England a constitutional monarchy.

At this point, the parliament became the most powerful institution in England, rather than the Privy Council that made decisions for the king.

But the interests of the British aristocrats were in conflict with the interests of the Ming Dynasty in England.

Therefore, the parliament then passed a series of bills to protect the interests of its aristocrats, and began to restrict the circulation of some Ming commodities in England and Geely. For example, except for the five cities where trade, Ming commodities were not allowed to appear in other places. Ming merchants were not allowed to operate in these places, and their merchants were not allowed to sell Ming commodities in these places.

Even for this reason, Frank, an English merchant who sold Ming Dynasty goods in Oxford and comprador of the Ming World Development Company, was arrested by English authorities.

The British nobles didn't care much about this, after all, they were just arresting merchants from their own country.

However, Frank made the Ming emperor Zhu Youxiao know about this through Kang Qingchun.

"Let's discuss it, what does English mean!"

Zhu Youxiao threw Kang Qingchun's memorial to several assistant ministers and said something unhappy.

Wen Tiren picked it up and looked at it first, but found that it was just a trivial matter of British merchants arrested by the British authorities for selling Ming goods in cities without trading.

Of course, Wen Tiren also knew that although this was a small matter, it was related to the fact that the King of England had fallen into the water in recent times and the new king accepted the Bill of Rights, which naturally meant that behind this small matter was a big matter that should not be despised.

Wen Tiren passed the memorial to Lu Xiangsheng, and then looked at Zhu Youxiao and said, "How can you let others sleep soundly on the side of the bed? Although England is not on the side of the bed, it is also a country on earth. How can we tolerate other people doing things that are unfavorable to our Ming Dynasty's national interests at will! In my opinion, this small island country in England must teach a lesson so that he will not do more ignorant things in the future."

"That's right! I'm taught a lesson. William III is obviously not suitable to be the king of England. The Bill of Rights in England also obviously needs to be changed, at least it must be changed to the king of England by my Emperor Ming Dynasty."

Lu Xiangsheng said.

"It's better to destroy it directly! This English is no better than other countries. Even if they control their kings, they cannot control their entire country. What needs to be eliminated are the nobles in other countries! These people are the forces that restrict our Ming Dynasty in England."

Zhang Tongchang followed.

"But the European continent is still using troops, and only navy troops are available. In fact, not only England, but most European countries have little monarchy and control of their kings is not very meaningful. Therefore, the court is now in Europe to launch a unified strategy of serfs to eliminate all Western nobles. In the opinion of the ministers, they can only force the kings and nobles of England to concessions first, so that they know that the interests of the Ming Dynasty are what they need to consider the most, and then they themselves!"

Du Yinxi, who had just added to the position of assistant minister, expressed his views at this time.

Zhang Huangyan, who was also newly appointed as the auxiliary minister, also said: "I also think that it is better to teach England a lesson now. If you send troops directly to destroy England, it will indeed affect the overall situation of the court in Europe. Moreover, it is easy to force England to compromise, and it does not require much military force. It only needs to cut off its food. The nobles of England are greedy for the benefits of textiles, and they have multiple circles of farmland as pastures. Their food depends on foreign trade. The merchant ships responsible for transporting grain are mostly the Netherlands, which belongs to the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, only with His Majesty's edict, he can be in danger of cutting off food! Or at most, he will send a navy to occupy London, punish it, and promote the prestige of the country."

"I also think it is better to let the navy send two or three troops to threaten England first, and force it to further open its market, and not to think about keeping the Ming Dynasty from the country, but the threat must be somewhat substantial to have effect. Since the parliament of England does not take this dynasty seriously, then let the navy conquered England and burn the Palace of Westminster, which is their parliament building! In addition, it must be allowed to sign another clause and fight further.

The terms of opening the domestic market! Also, the king William III had to be arrested. Although their king had little influence on the whole of England, capturing his king could let these English nobles know that the Ming Dynasty could decide who or who their king was. In addition, the Xu Qianxue who had been to England did not have to stay. He took him back to Beijing to handle it strictly. It was useless to keep him. He still couldn't control the situation in England. It was really useless! Just draft the order like this!"

Zhu Youxiao was determined to let England suffer a second war involving commercial interests.

With the following order, Zhu Youxiao's order, while the Ming Empire continued to open territory on the European continent, it actually dispatched 30,000 naval troops to England. The reason for sending troops was to protect the right to trade freely within the rules set by Emperor Apocalypse, a merchant like Frank, who was willing to be friends with the Ming Dynasty.

...

The English nobles are still immersed in the freedom atmosphere after James II fell into the water.

Since James II fell into the water and William III ascended the throne, they no longer had to distribute their fields to serfs, nor did they have to actively pay taxes.

However, the factories opened by the Ming Dynasty in five major cities including London and Liverpool, England, still affected their commercial interests in these cities.

However, they also knew that the Ming Dynasty could not be directly offended, so they could only use national ideas to encourage civilians to boycott Ming goods.

The most overwhelming thing is nothing more than the parliament mentioned earlier that restricts Ming Dynasty goods from appearing in other towns outside these five major cities.

But what the British aristocrats would not have thought was that even though they used such unharmed means to deprive Ming of the business interests of British English, the British still did not choose to tolerate it.

So much so that when they learned that a large fleet of Ming Navy crossed the Dover Strait again, all the British nobles showed horror.

"Why are the people of Ming Dynasty like this? Why should he send troops to intervene in the affairs of our own British Empire?!"

Councillor Cavendish asked in angrily in Parliament.

"There is no way, we do not have strong national strength enough. Perhaps James II's original behavior was right. We really need to increase the treasury revenue and maintain a stronger national defense force, and avoid the current fate of being slaughtered by him at will."

Another MP John said again.

"Damn Ming Kingdom, they destroyed our free world!"

Xu Qianxue suddenly said this at this time.

The House members all looked at him.

Xu Qianxue continued: "If there were no Ming Kingdom, my British Empire would have been the most clear era in history! There is a clear charter that restricts the monarchy and the civil rights are greatly guaranteed. It is the most free country in the world. Unfortunately, the Ming Kingdom is unwilling to let us have freedom! Only by fighting to the death and protecting our British Empire desperately can we protect our free world!"

"The Count is right! The Ming Kingdom only wants to see our kings who are willing to be the lackeys of his Ming Kingdom like James II. As long as this kind of willingness to devote all the wealth of my British Empire to the kings of his Ming Kingdom, they will not raise troops. The Ming Kingdom is our biggest enemy at present! We need to unite and fight against the Ming Kingdom!"

Monmouth also agreed.

Now he had to give up his regrets of not being able to become the King of England and actively advocated that all the Englishmen fight against the invasion of the Ming Kingdom together.

The members of the entire parliament were ignited for this and expressed their desire to protect their country and country.

"Since this is the case, I advocate donating money. The current treasury is not much surplus because it costs a lot of shipbuilding and taxes are no longer in the past, so it needs more funds to recruit landless peasants as soldiers, and then fight against the invasion of the Ming army."

William III said at this time.

As soon as he said this, all the English nobles in Parliament fell silent and began to think about the interests of this.

It is not true that they have no intention of saving the country, but when it is really the turn to pay for the country from their own pockets, they still have to weigh the pros and cons of the gains and losses based on their habits.

After thinking for a while, Cavendish stood up first. He was afraid that he would be impeached as a financial officer and cried for a moment and said, "I can only give out five hundred pounds. Now for the sake of the country, I am willing to donate them all!"

"I have 300 pounds in depositing the silver, and I am willing to donate all of it!"

John replied, too.

Xu Qianxue also stood up at this time and said, "His Majesty the King also knows that he is a newly moved to the British people, so there is no much industry. Now even if he spends all his money, he can only donate one hundred pounds!"

"I can also give out a hundred pounds, so poor!"

"Who isn't it? My wealth from the British Empire has long been taken away by the Ming Dynasty. Who has a better life? I can only give out one hundred pounds."

"I can only take out fifty pounds! You all know that I originally opened textile factories. Since the Ming Dynasty invaded my Great Britain, I have closed a large number of textile factories in London, Liverpool and other places, and now there are not many businesses."

...

These English nobles all cried poor, perhaps because of their stinginess or because they were unwilling to show off their wealth too high, and each of them didn't have much money to donate.

William III almost cried because of this: "This is not enough! Even buying a few more cannons is not enough."

William III was completely disappointed with these English nobles, and then he had to say, "Since that's the case, I won't donate, Earl of Jian'an (Xu Qianxue), you will compensate the Duke of Monmouth to meet the consul of the Ming Kingdom and ask them how they can stop the war!"

Xu Qianxue was about to answer his order, but suddenly he heard someone running from outside the hall and shouting: "Anti-report! The Ming army has broken through the naval defense line in London and is coming straight to the city of London!"

"So fast?!"
