585. Jade is burned

I did not go to the Americas to control the flames, but secretly returned to Europe and lurked in the port of Bruges.

It's the closest port to London, and it's not under British control, so it's the best place to lurk in the absolute sense of the word.

On the way over, the Nine Ghosts once asked me, will we make Drake suffer even more if we do this? Will it add fuel to the fire?

I smiled, looked in the direction of London, and whispered, "He will definitely suffer some flesh and skin, but he will have no worries for his life."

Nine Ghost Masataka didn't quite understand: "Our slander against Britain this time is not deep, won't the queen be angry with him?"

I shook my head and said, "Although Elizabeth is a woman, she is far superior to ordinary men in terms of pattern. She's a great man, so even though she gets angry and angry, she doesn't move people who shouldn't. ”

The Nine Ghosts still didn't quite understand, but he didn't ask again. I actually understand his doubts, treating others with ourselves, in exchange for ourselves, I'm afraid that we will also be angry and make an example of the monkey.

So I'm going to use facts to convince him, so that he can see and hear, better than any explanation.

And judging from the feedback back, it seems to be about the same as my overall estimate.

Elizabeth received news of the civil disturbance from various sources and was furious.

She immediately "invited" Drake to the Palace of Westminster to question the cause of the incident.

On the one hand, Drake was angry, and on the other hand, he really didn't know what was going on, so he replied to Elizabeth strongly.

It is said that Elizabeth was able to maintain her demeanor patiently at that time, but after sending Drake away, Elizabeth angrily dropped a lot of furniture!

The maids came in to clean up, set it up once, and she fell once. Three times in a row, the maids did not dare to go in.

But according to the grapevine, Isabella, who is a relative and personal secretary, insisted that the maid reset everything again, and made a clear arrangement - the queen smashed it a few times, and restored it a few times.

Sure enough, at the time of the fourth reset, Elizabeth stopped going crazy and called Isabella in.

As for what they said, we don't know. Although our intelligence network is all over London, there is no eyeliner in the Queen's bedchamber.

The next day, the whole Palace of Westminster was unusually quiet, and although the crowd was getting more and more uproaring, there was no response from the royal family.

Many people began to wonder - it was impossible for the royal family to turn a blind eye to such a large-scale action, but what was the reason for the lack of response? Could it be that there are some private actions that can't be done?

In this way, the people who participated in the riots spent a long night in unrest, and on the morning of the third day, the whole city of London received a notice from the royal family!

"The Queen has been informed of your wishes, and the matter must be clarified in due course. The riots can no longer continue, and the Queen will no longer pursue the previous crime of disrespect. But from this time on, if there is any more troublemaker, it will be severely punished! ”

Although the circular is longer overall, the basic core idea is that this is what it means.

After receiving the announcement, the mood of the people began to polarize.

Some people think that the queen is right, no matter how big the matter is, she can finally give everyone an explanation, but as a subject, she shouldn't make any more trouble.

But there are also those who think that the announcement is arrogantly worded, arrogant, and very indifferent to the demands of the people, so these people began to be even more angry!

There is a clear distinction between the two groups – the former is dominated by peasants and craftsmen. In fact, these people are just following the trend and have no specific demands.

And what is becoming more and more fierce is the backbone of the sea operation association, large chambers of commerce and plantation owners, and their demands are also very clear and clear-

With Drake's dismissal, a large number of British admirals began to panic, fearing that they would become the next Drake.

After all, the legendary Francis Drake is a national hero, a man who played a great role in the Anglo-Spanish War.

But the current situation is that even he has been severely dealt with because of a so-called "mistake" that is inexplicable and unclear, what about the others? Who would dare to rush up again?

The direct result of this mentality is that the defense of the entire British maritime shipping route has been drastically reduced, and except for the trade in which there are serious concerns for its own reasons, the other merchant fleets can only run naked overseas under the "eye defense" of the war fleet!

According to the statistics of the Association of Merchants, the number of merchant fleets attacked in the past two months has increased by 30% compared with before, and the number is still rising!

This is the root cause of the anger of those industrialists. Therefore, after the royal family issued a notice, not only did this part of the people not calm their anger, but they became even more angry because of the royal family's inaction!

Some people even angrily complained that they should be supported by the state because they use 30% of their annual profits to pay taxes to the state. If the current situation continues, then there is no need for them to pay taxes to the state again, just arm themselves to protect themselves!

In this way, a simple riot can become a major event that can shake the foundation of the country. Elizabeth herself was furious when she heard the news, and immediately prepared to give an order to wipe out these rebels!

It is said that all armed forces, including police inspectors, gendarmes, and secret police officers, have been given the right to open fire, and are ready to extinguish this sudden "fire" at any time as long as they are ordered from above!

Mars is on the verge of exploding! When the people received the news that they were ready to do it, their anger soared again!

Needless to say, many armed merchant fleets were unwilling to sit idly by, and left the harbor fully armed, ready to "burn the flames from the land to the sea"!

Such a change made Elizabeth calm down, no! It shouldn't be treated that way!

No matter who is behind it, they all want their country to be in chaos!

If I really let this matter break out, I'm afraid that the person who stabbed him in the back will laugh off his big teeth!

And when that time comes, will there be fewer people who come to make trouble and rub oil?

After working hard for half a life, he finally laid a solid foundation for the British Empire, and he is no longer far from the empire on which the sun never sets.

In such a situation, how can you give up halfway? Self-financed martial arts for some trivial things?

But today's situation is already difficult to ride a tiger, and if you continue to move forward, you will inevitably be burned; But if you retreat, where will the dignity and face of the royal family remain?

At this moment, Elizabeth really fell into a dilemma, she only felt as if she had fallen into a sudden nightmare, unable to get out, unable to break through.

The ministers were brought to discuss the matter, but none of them had an accurate idea to solve the matter.

Among these ministers, some advocated fighting, while others advocated peace, and in the end they argued endlessly, and no one could make up their minds.

Elizabeth shuddered suddenly, wouldn't the people who had designed this conflict really take such an argument into account?

He had expected that his people would procrastinate for some solution, and eventually let the situation deteriorate until they could no longer control it, or compromise with him!

That's his plan, right?

If it's true, then this person is really terrible, and you can either be friends with such a person, or you have to ......

When all the ministers left, only Elizabeth and Isabella were left in the hall, and these two generations sat quietly in a corner of the hall, feeling the cold sea breeze blowing in outside, all thoughtful.

"Isha, what do you think...... Who is behind this? Elizabeth asked suddenly.

Isabella added some hot water to her aunt's teacup, and she was a little bit of a stopper.

Elizabeth looked at her niece and knew that she must have her own thoughts, so she waited quietly for her to speak.

"Auntie, I think this matter should be related to Sun Qilan." Isabella whispered.

"Sun Qilan?" Elizabeth frowned: "Why him?" ”

Isabella's eyes flashed with wisdom: "Auntie, don't you think this happened very suddenly? ”

Elizabeth narrowed her eyes and took a sip from her teacup. The exhaled heat brought up the heat of the teacup, fascinating the eyes, but the heart suddenly lit up!

"You have a point!" Elizabeth raised her voice: "All this strange phenomenon happened after we targeted his Dutch fleet!" That fleet called Dreadnought is where it all began! ”

"So, allow me to make a bold prediction that the so-called shipwreck treasure of the new big * continent this time is even just a hoax! The purpose is to lead us into a trap! Isabella's thinking also dared to be bold and discerning, and further collided with Elizabeth!

"So, these countries, including us, are actually being played by him! Sun Qilan wants to use this channel to contain us, so that we have no time to take care of anything else! Elizabeth put down her teacup heavily, her eyes surging with murderous intent.

"And Drake is probably just one of the victims, I mean probably, his loyalty is still very strong." Isabella clearly hoped that the matter would end peacefully.

"But how should the current situation be resolved?" Elizabeth asked, "Where is Sun Qilan?" ”

Isabella thought for a moment and replied softly: "It doesn't matter where he is, I think that since he has already made this move, he must want to gain something, so we don't have to go out of our way to inquire about his whereabouts, just find his spokesperson in the Netherlands!" ”

Elizabeth thought for a moment: "You mean, that girl named Zhang Youxi?" ”

"Exactly!" Isabella chuckled and said: "In what Sun Qilan often says, the bell must be tied to the bell, as long as we find the right person, we will definitely be able to solve this problem, do you say yes?" ”

Elizabeth picked up the teacup, took a big sip, and then slammed the teacup on the table: "Just do as you say!" Send someone immediately and go to Zhang Youxi immediately! ”
