Nottingham is far north of London.

Of course, William III would not want to stay in London like Chongzhen to prove his ambition, but would immediately escape to another place before the Ming army arrived.

William III seemed to have made plans to escape long ago, and on the day of his Northern Tour of Nottingham, he rode to Nottingham in a carriage on the railroad tracks.

Influenced by the Ming Dynasty, England also laid a railway, but had not yet built a steam locomotive, so they could only use horses to pull the cart on the rails.

However, this mode of transportation is indeed much faster than using a road carriage.

So, William III fled directly to St. Albans that day.

The British nobles also fled London.

They had seen the power of the Ming army, so they naturally knew that Da Ying was not a match for the Ming army. Although they loved Da Ying very much and hated Da Ming very much, this did not prevent them from escaping London for their own safety.

Monmouth and Xu Qianxue could not escape.

Because the former was Charles II's illegitimate son, William III was introduced to negotiate with the Ming army, which undoubtedly wanted to take the blame for peace. If he escaped, he would naturally disobey the king's order.

Because Xu Qianxue was a Han Chinese and had no foundation in England, he was pushed out by William III and was responsible for contacting the Ming army with Monmouth.

After defeating the British Navy, the Ming army directly drove the warships into the Thames River, and then pointed the naval guns straight towards the city of London and launched a violent bombing on the city of London.

Finally, the Ming Navy Marines, who were responsible for attacking England, landed directly and surrounded the city of London.

At this time, Monmouth and Xu Qianxue had no choice but to surrender and kneel down to welcome the emergence of the Ming army at Westminster Palace.

Chen Guozuo, the guerrilla general of the Ming Navy Marine Corps, came to Westminster Palace. After seeing Monmouth and Xu Qianxue kneeling outside Westminster Palace, he took Xu Qianxue specifically and spat: "The uncooked guy! He actually acted as a dog for the British! Take it down!"

Xu Qianxue was shocked after hearing this.

He didn't expect that Chen Guozhuo would take him away.

Monmouth hurriedly helped Xu Qianxue, "Wait! He is now the earl of my British Empire and the son-in-law of our former king Charles II. Please let your country let him go!"

Chen Guozuo ignored Monmouth and insisted that someone dragged Xu Qianxue down.

He also did this according to the order, so naturally there was no need to explain anything to Monmouth and the Western Barbarians.

Xu Qianxue also started to tremble.

He had basically guessed why Ming Jun wanted to take him directly.

So, Xu Qianxue shouted directly: "Give me your life, spare me your life, I was wrong, I was really wrong, my uncle is Gu Tinglin, and my uncle is Gu Tinglin!"

Chen Guozuo ignored Xu Qianxue's shouts and rushed into Westminster Palace with his soldiers. Looking at the magnificent hall, as well as the full range of Western paintings and exquisite sculptures, he said:

"All the ones that can be taken away will be confiscated, and those that cannot be taken away will be burned directly! Let the organized local residents bring the turbulent oil prepared on the ship, and in addition, the engineer blasting team prepares for blasting!"

"You're going to burn Westminster Palace?"

Monmouth immediately reacted.

He didn't care about Xu Qianxue's arrest for a moment, and immediately stopped Chen Guozuo, fiddled with his hands and said:

"This general, no, you can't do this! This Palace of Westminster is the parliament building of my British Empire! It is a symbol of supreme power! It is the most eye-catching palace of my British Empire! How can you burn him?! Do you know how much financial resources my British Empire has spent to build this Palace of Westminster?!"

Bang!

A thick butt stock had just flew over.

Monmouth sat on the ground, and felt like someone was kicked hard in his chest.

Then, Monmouth saw a large group of Ming soldiers breaking in in an orderly manner with guns, and began to frantically confiscate all the treasures inside. The key is that they still copy them in a very orderly manner.

The large wooden box that had been prepared was carried in by the British migrant workers who had invited them.

These British migrant workers also actively carried the boxes filled with treasures out.

Burning down the Palace of Westminster seems to be no big deal for these civilians who are serf-born, and there is even a hint of excitement and excitement.

For some of them, such a gorgeous palace cannot be enjoyed by themselves, but can participate in destruction, which is also very exciting.

At the same time, under the command of the Ming army, some British migrant workers began to carry bundles of ready-made firewood blocks and put them around Westminster Palace. After they were placed, special soldiers poured tinder oil on them.

Monmouth looked at the Ming army and migrant workers entering and leaving, heartbroken as if they were cut by a knife, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

After all, this is a very well-known palace in the British Empire!

"They are going to burn our Westminster Palace!"

"I will fight to the death with these hateful Orientals!"

"They are a bunch of robbers!"

The British bourgeoisie who did not escape in time were also extremely indignant after seeing this scene, and some even clenched their fists and vowed to come over and fight the Ming army.

But a large number of Ming troops stood around with guns and live ammunition, causing some radical British people to be stopped by their relatives and friends.

After the Palace of Westminster was emptied and smashed, a raging fire broke out inside and outside Westminster Palace soon after Chen Guozuo lit the first torch lit by an open lighter.

Bright red flames crazily devour the Royal English Palace standing on the banks of the Thames.

The painter brought by Chen Guozuo carefully depicted the scene at this moment in order to be dedicated to Emperor Tianqi in the future.

However, the British and Monmouth were crying.

This is indeed a great insult to them.

The fire burned for three days and three nights, and in the end, the entire Palace of Westminster was completely burned to black, like a rapidly aging woman, full of black wrinkles.

boom!

boom!

boom!

The Ming army arranged explosives inside its palace next.

One after another, the explosives sounded, and the burnt blackened Palace of Westminster was completely blown into ruins.

Only then did Chen Guozuo order Monmouth to be taken, and he led the entire army to Oxford, and captured Oxford City. The scholars, academic materials and experimental equipment from Oxford University were naturally confiscated by the Ming army.

Next, Chen Guozuo also temporarily used Oxford University Town as his headquarters and asked Monmouth to negotiate with him here. Of course, it was a negotiation, but in fact it was to let Monmouth sign the already drafted treaty.

"First, the full opening of commercial restrictions on the Ming Dynasty shall not include any bills that restrict the circulation of goods in Ming Dynasty. All bills suspected of commodity circulation in the past will be invalidated;"

"Second, the area south of Winchester was ceded as the Ming expatriates' residential area;"

"Third, compensation of 10 million taels of silver will be converted into gold transactions;"

"Fourth, I am allowed to rent land and set up schools in England and not stop them from enrolling students;"

"Fifth, the Ming merchants are allowed to hire British people to go to sea to work anywhere;"

"Sixth, railway construction can only cooperate with our Ming Dynasty;"

"Seventh, hand over your king and accept the trial of our Ming Dynasty Court;"

"The above are our requirements, you need to sign it as soon as possible! It is limited to one month. If this deadline exceeds, we will continue to attack other places."

Chen Guozuo said.

"I understand! I will convey your meaning to all the members as soon as possible."

Monmouth replied.

...

Nottingham.

After William III arrived here, the members of the House of Parliament also arrived here one after another, and after Monmouth conveyed the conditions for withdrawal proposed by Ming to the Ming Dynasty, Parliament was reconvened.

"There is another cedes land and compensation! This Ming Dynasty is really insatiable!"

In Parliament, after knowing the conditions proposed by the Ming Dynasty, Cavendish couldn't help but pat the table and said, "How can my British Empire be slaughtered by it!"

"I will also hand over this king! What sin do I have? All bills are actually introduced by the parliament. Why do I still have to suffer this? Why do these hateful Orientals always hold on to us kings!"

William III also looked at the congressmen present with anger and fear.

"Although we want to capture you, we are actually showing that our parliament does not have the power to decide the king, and only the Ming Kingdom can decide who the king is, my British Empire. This is the original words of the Ming people."

Monmouth, who came to convey the news, said something.

"Damn it! There is no good thing for the Orientals! They are all shameless robbers!"

Cavendish continued to curse in anger.

"The most serious thing here is that the fact that the Ming Dynasty merchants are allowed to hire people from the British Empire to work in the sea is digging our roots!"

Duke John interrupted at this time and explained: "For the Ming Dynasty, the greatest value of our British Empire is the large number of farmers who have lost their land. These farmers are very cheap labor and the foundation for us to continue to maintain land interests. But now they want to take away these cheap labor, which will undoubtedly put us in a desperate situation!"

"What we said is, we can't agree!"

Cavendish replied.

King William III also said, "Yes, I can't agree to this matter. I have to talk about it again. Tell the Ming people that we can cede more land, but please give high praise to the Ming king and not punish the king."

“How can we continue to cede more land?”

John then raised an objection and said, "In my opinion, it is better to allow them to capture the king and then strive for them to stop forcing us to relax the restrictions on letting civilians go to sea to work."

"You! Do you want to give up my king too?!"
