In Luoyang, Zhang Lingyang was about to carry out a series of reforms in a big way, and on the other hand, 100,000 elite soldiers transferred from the Great Wall to Tianzhu had arrived in Tianzhu after a non-stop journey.

After Sun Dingzong received the news, he immediately dispatched these 100,000 elite soldiers to Bombay.

After these 100,000 elite soldiers arrived in Mumbai, Zhang Lingyang transferred another 100,000 soldiers under his command who had not been trained in firearms to be stationed in Tianzhu states, and he led these 100,000 elites to build fortifications in Mumbai to prevent the British from counterattacking.

On the third day after the 100,000 elite soldiers arrived in Mumbai, the second group of soldiers from the English reinforcements of Tianzhu also rushed to the western sea of Mumbai.

However, the second batch of soldiers transferred to Tianzhu by England was still 10,000 people, and they were not the opponents of Da Zhou at all.

Therefore, after learning about the specific situation of Tianzhu, the commander of this group of British troops, Campbaton, ordered the fleet to stop advancing, retreat to the Persian Gulf to garrison, and asked people to rush back to China in a hurry to report the current situation of Tianzhu to the Parliament.

After receiving the news from Cambatten, the Prime Minister of the English Cabinet was furious.

What is Tianzhu?

Tianzhu was the most important colony in England, and now it has been lost. It is conceivable that if Yingli cannot recapture Tianzhu from the hands of the Great Zhou in the shortest possible time, then Yingji's hegemony will be defeated like a cliff.

Therefore, at this moment, the English Prime Minister could not bear it, and directly ordered the foreign secretary to rush to Paris to meet the French Emperor Louis XVIII. He also directly told Louis XVIII that if the French fleet in the English Channel did not retreat, England would see it as a test of war against the British Empire, and the British Empire would strike at the French fleet and even land in France.

Louis XVIII scoffed at the suggestion that England was going to land in France. Because, as the hegemon of the European continent, Louis XVIII did not feel that the English Army was an opponent of France.

In the end, however, Louis XVIII ordered the fleet to retreat from the English Channel.

Louis XVIII understood that with the loss of Tianzhu, England was now in a rage, and no one knew what decision England would make.

If the French fleet continues to make trouble in the English Channel at this time, it is not certain that the English Navy will deal a devastating blow to the French fleet.

After all, Louis XVIII was soberly aware that with the French fleet, it was no match for the English navy.

Here, after the retreat of the French fleet from the English Channel, England began to mobilize for war.

Under the full lobbying of the British Prime Minister, the House of Lords decided to increase the number of troops to Tianzhu by 100,000.

The mobilization of 100,000 troops is still through sea transportation, and I am afraid that this is the first time in history.

Even if England is the supremacy of the seas, he will not be able to take out enough ships to transport troops.

So, these days, the English Foreign Secretary has begun to travel between the countries of Europe, with the aim of seconding ships from them.

In addition, war materials from all over England began to be transported to the London docks, and if you look at them from a distance, you can see piles of war materials like hills everywhere on the London docks.

At this moment, the mobilization ability of England, the overlord of the sea, was completely manifested, and in just one month, the war materials needed for three months by 100,000 troops were piled up on the docks of London.

Because of the special nature of the war, at this time, the London docks had completely become a military port, and no merchant ships could approach it.

The 100,000-strong army, which had already been assembled, patrolled the vicinity of the docks every day.

"England is going to be really angry!" This was the unanimous opinion of Louis XVIII and the monarchs of other European countries.

Therefore, during this period of time, no one dared to provoke Yingli.

Nonsense, France, as the hegemon of the European continent, has transferred its fleet from the English Channel, and who in other countries will dare to provoke England?

At this time, after a month's continuous travel, the English foreign secretary finally borrowed enough ships to transport 100,000 soldiers and war materials.

Among them, the Rus country contributed the most.

The Great Zhou seized the vast Siberia from the Rus' state, and this hatred, Alexander II, the emperor of the Rus' state, has always remembered it in his heart and never forgotten it.

Therefore, under the orders of Alexander II, the Rus' kingdom actually lent all the ships in the country that could sail far away to England.

This was a surprise to Louis XVIII.

Originally, as an ally of France, Alexander II made such a decision and should have informed France.

This time, however, Alexander II did not even inform him, and even transferred all the ships in the country to support England, which made Louis XVIII angry.

In Louis XVIII's view, England was France's number one rival, which was something that the whole of Europe knew, but he couldn't understand how the Rus' country, as France's biggest ally, would support his enemies.

Even though the Foreign Minister of the Rus' state, Lopunov, went to Paris in person and brought a personal letter from Alexander II explaining the reason, Louis XVIII was not discouraged.

Louis XVIII was not unaware of the reason why the Rus' did this, but the Rus' did harm the interests of France, so Louis XVIII decided to punish the Rus' country.

Of course, Louis XVIII's punishment was not to use force against the Rus' state, but to summon Hugo, the general manager of the Banque de France, to start recovering the previous loan from the Rus' state.

You must know that although the Rus' country had borrowed many times from European countries, mainly France, with its domestic mineral resources as collateral, at least one-third of it was still borrowed by the Rus' country with national credit as collateral.

In fact, in order to support the Rus' country, France's largest ally, took the initiative to make an unsecured loan to the Rus' country.

Originally, the relationship between France and the Rus' was very good, even though many loans were overdue, under the peace of Louis XVIII, the major French banks led by the Banque de France did not demand payment to the Rus' country.

Well, now, because of the borrowing of ships from England, the Rus' state completely annoyed Louis XVIII.

Therefore, without consulting any minister, Louis XVIII summoned Hugo directly and asked him to take people to the Rus' country to ask for debts.

This time, it was the turn of Alexander II, the emperor of the Rus' state, to be dumbfounded.

You must know that over the years, the unsecured loans made by the major banks of the Rus' Prime Minister France have been as many as 8 million gold francs, which is higher than the financial income of the Rus' country in two years.

The Foreign Minister of the Rus' country, Lopunov, privately found Hugo, and wanted to let Hugo slow down, and his attitude was very sincere.

Also, if it is a second- or third-rate country in Europe, the Rus' National Congress can deny it and not pay it back, but is France a second-rate country?

Obviously not, at this time the Rus' country did not dare to offend France.

After all, without the support of France, the finances of the Rus' country would have gone bankrupt long ago.

After listening to Lopunov's plea, Hugo said: "Your Excellency Lopnov, it's not that I don't want to help you, but this time your Rus' country has done too much and completely annoyed our Emperor. ”

Seeing that Lopunov looked depressed, Hugo smiled and said: "Actually, there is no solution, as long as His Majesty the Emperor of your country can order the recovery of the ships lent to England, the debts of your country can be repaid after another three or five years." ”
