Qi Jiguang was ordered to officially enter the palace with the main force of the Ming army, and officially began to set up fortifications around the palace.

The royal army was assembled and left the palace under the leadership of Count Chetikos, ready to suppress the rebels.

When Essex arrived at the palace with the rebels, the Ming army had already prepared the fortifications.

Nearly 20,000 Ming troops built a tight fire net defense line with sandbags and trenches, and soldiers with excellent shooting skills were on guard on all floors of the palace with the best rifles.

The rebels seemed to be quite well-trained, and the troops were not so single, all marching towards the palace in order.

The infantry marched in three formations, each armed with arquebuses, and on the periphery were spearmen, long and densely packed.

There are also cavalry on both wings, all of which are silver-armored and steel helmets, which look very powerful.

This was the first time in this era that the army of the Ming Dynasty fought against the army of England.

The commander of the rebel army, Essex, was also very cautious about this, and couldn't help but ask the nobleman Baron Fushun, who was familiar with the affairs of the royal family, again: "Your Excellency Baron Fushun, these Ming troops really have no cavalry?" ”

"Count of Essex, I swear to God, I definitely didn't lie to you, these Ming troops don't have cavalry, they just have sharper firearms than us!"

Fushun said.

"Even so, it is easy to do."

Essex, then, ordered his infantry phalanx to attack from the front to attract the attention of the Ming army, and then ordered the cavalry to immediately outflank the palace defenses from the flanks.

At the same time, Essex ordered the artillery to open fire first.

Bang!

The first thing near the palace was shelling, and solid iron bullets with no accurate heads flew over and hit the walls of the palace, knocking several stones into the air.

Because the Ming army was hiding in trenches or sandbags, they were not killed by these solid shells.

Qi Jiguang also ordered the artillery to open fire, and with the help of the telescope, the artillery commander accurately determined the position of the rebel artillery, and issued an order for long-range howitzer fire.

The howitzer was powerful, and the accuracy of the front sight and the agility of the reloading technology made the first round of artillery fire quickly cover the rebel artillery positions, and the sound of a drum of dust was blown up, and the sound shook the ground violently.

The rebel artillery army was annihilated!

Frightened, Essex ordered the attack to be quickened, and he wanted his army to attack before the second round of artillery bombardment by the Ming army.

The hedgehog-like phalanx of spear infantry increased its speed, but it was still slow due to the need to maintain a neat queue to ensure the effectiveness of the line-up shooting.

"Fire!"

Qi Jiguang gave the order to open the cannon again, and the howitzers brought by the Ming army were once again powerful, and ten shells accurately fell into the huge infantry phalanx of the rebel army, setting off a wave of heat and smashing out blood puddles.

Essex, the commander of the rebel army in the middle of the army, was also stunned, and when the smoke cleared, his face had turned charcoal black, and what appeared before his eyes was no longer a neat infantry phalanx, but a huge crater, with countless broken limbs.

At the same time, the cavalry on both flanks were also subjected to artillery shelling, and dozens of horses were frightened and galloped out.

"The cavalry rushed! Rush over now! Kill its artillery! ”

The infantry phalanx was disrupted, and Essex could no longer count on it to attract the main force of the Ming army, so he could only immediately rush towards it with cavalry.

The cavalry increased their horsepower and strong mobility, so that they quickly approached the Ming defense line.

The Ming army immediately opened the fire net to block the attack.

Thousands of grenades were thrown from three directions, like locusts, and in an instant a dust curtain exploded in front of them, and the rebel cavalry rushed to the front in chaos, the horses neighed, and the cavalry also screamed, and blood flowed out of the smoke screen, and soon the grass was stained red.

At the same time, in the barrier composed of sandbags, the Ming machine gunners began to shoot with the Ming version of the Gatling machine gun, still ignoring the rushing cavalry suffered from intensive bullet shooting, some war horses fell to the ground because of excessive blood loss from bullets, and their cavalry flew into the trench and fell to death directly!

A dense network of hundreds of machine guns reaped the lives of these cavalrymen, and even the horses that rushed in fright were swept to the ground.

However, because of the strong mobility of the cavalry, there were also cavalry who came over and leaped over the defensive line, but only a few, and these few cavalry rushed in and were inevitably killed by the Ming infantry on the second line of defense.

In addition to machine guns and grenades, there are also close-range artillery that are also looking for enemy dense spots from time to time to bombard.

The entire vicinity of the palace was dusty, dusty, grass clippings and corpses flying, blood stained the river red, and dead horses were scattered everywhere like rocks in the river.

The surviving rebels began to flee frantically, despite the pursuit of the Ming artillery shells and bullets.

Essex also grabbed a horse and fled.

"Emperor Yu, the rebel army has suffered 46,146 casualties, and our army has suffered four wounded...... Qi Jiguang said to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and didn't say much, today's Ming army is fighting against the armies of other countries, which is a dimensionality reduction strike, and it is not surprising to cause this proportion of casualties.

Essex fled the city of London in a hurry with hundreds of remnants.

And at this time.

Miss Catherine and Leylin and other rebel organizers were unaware of the Essex fiasco, and she was still presiding over the parliament that deposed the anti-enclosure bill.

"Agree to repeal the anti-enclosure bill!"

"Agree to repeal the anti-enclosure bill!"

……

When the councillors agreed to repeal the anti-enclosure bill, Miss Catherine expressed her satisfaction with this and said, "Very well, Speaker Leylin and Speaker Jane, let's sign it." ”

Bang!

Shetikos barged in with the royal army, first ordered the soldiers of the royal guard to shoot the parliamentary guard, and then ordered someone to break through the parliamentary gates.

As a royal general, Shetikos lived a luxurious life on the king's rewards and money, and he was also loyal to Zhu Zaiyuan, and in order to prove his loyalty and ability, he preemptively outflanked the parliament.

Looking at these councilors, Shetikos issued an order to Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Zaiyuan: "Kill all the ministers, and leave no one behind!" ”

These parliamentarians were horrified, they did not expect the royal army to come to parliament so soon.

Miss Catherine shouted, "Shellikos, who gave you the courage to come here, shouldn't you protect your tyrant now?!" ”

Sheatikos cut off the head of one of the councillors with a single sword, allowing his head and blood to roll down the hall, and walked towards Miss Catherine: "The king has defeated your army, and I am ordered to purge you!" ”

Poof!

The sharp blade of Shertickos cut the neck of another councillor, who covered the blood-gushing neck in horror and looked at Sherticos, who had never imagined that he would one day.

The soldiers under the command of Shetikos did the same, grabbing a councilor, falling directly with a knife, and with a click, a bloody human head was lifted up by him.

For these officers and soldiers, the king's strength has been proven, and they can now only prove their loyalty to the king by killing the king's rebels, so they are not merciful, and in their opinion, these hypocritical parliamentarians need not be worthy of softness.

Some councillors tried to flee from here, but before they could do so, their heads flew out.

Some councillors were so frightened that they were incontinent and only hid under the table shivering, but they were still brought out and killed.

Seeing this, Lei Lin also hurriedly shouted: "Your Excellency Sheticos, I am willing to return to the king, please spare me, let me see the king, I am willing to give up my property!" ”

Shetikos didn't speak, but just stabbed Leylin in the stomach, and then stirred, leaving Leylin, who was too dead to die, to the side, and only walked towards Catherine and Jane.

"Your Excellency Stykos, I repent, please spare my life for God's sake!"

Click!

Sheticos killed Jane anyway, and then pressed Catherine to the table, killing her with a single sword.

After Catherine had also shed all her blood, Sheticos said to the already empty council hall: "The king has issued an edict to dissolve the parliament for good!" In the future, if the king sets up a parliament again, the whole world will punish him! God will not forgive! ”

……

The armed rebellion of the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie, provoked by the King of England Zhu Zaiyuan's forced demand for the passage of the Anti-Enclosure Act by Parliament and the bloody suppression of vested interests in the enclosure in England, was suppressed.

In the following period, all the princes and nobles involved in the rebellion were unearthed, and all of them were executed.

Zhu Houzhao asked Zhu Zaiyuan to execute tens of thousands of people, and he naturally wanted to force Zhu Zaiyuan to learn to be a ruthless king, and he also knew that if he hadn't been stationed here with tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, it would only be his son who would be pushed to the guillotine, and his kindness to the enemy would be cruel to himself.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao told his son not to be merciful to these rebels when he now had absolute strength, and would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go, and to deal the most severe blow to the bourgeoisie of the whole of England, so that they would fully realize the majesty of the king.

In Zhu Houzhao's view, the reason why these bourgeoisie in England are so arrogant is because the previous kings were too polite to these people.

If we do not take advantage of the time when there is a legitimate reason to strike at the forces of the bourgeoisie, when will it be necessary, and when will it be true that they will be able to fight back?

It was not until three months later that Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Zaiyuan stopped the search and execution of the rebels throughout England.

In order to avoid the dissatisfaction of the people of England by himself and his son Zhu Zaiyuan's bloody suppression of the rebels in England, Zhu Houzhao asked Zhu Zaiyuan to reward the royal army and nobles who still chose to be loyal to the king this time by giving a large amount of property confiscated from the rebels.

Roger was made a duke, Séticos became a marquis, and other meritorious people were knighted one after another, and were rewarded with countless sums of money.

Besides.

Even urban civilians and rural farmers who had nothing to do with the upper-class armed struggle were favored, and Zhu Zaiyuan ordered rent reductions on the grounds that the rebels had caused losses to the people.

Zhu Houzhao even ordered to subsidize five Daming silver dollars to each citizen of London City on the grounds of his birthday, and this money was naturally made by Zhu Zaiyu, and the source was naturally confiscated income, and the use of Daming silver dollars was naturally to help Daming silver dollars occupy the LinkedIn Gran currency market.

Although the silver dollar was not much, it bought the hearts and minds of the people, and in any case, the people began to choose to forget some of the brutal methods of this emperor and their king.

But Zhu Houzhao knew that it was not enough to just do this, and if he wanted the people of the whole of England to accept the rule of royal power ideologically, he could only strengthen the inculcation of the idea of divine authority of kings, and even carve into the minds of the English people the idea that there would be no future without a king.

Naturally, the best at this aspect are monks.

But there were two kinds of religious thought in England, one was Catholicism and the other was Protestantism, and Protestantism advocated freedom from church rule and the shackles of ritual law, which was in the interests of the bourgeoisie.

And Zhu Houzhao can only support Catholicism that focuses on establishing rituals and laws to restrain the secular people if he wants to help his son establish royal rule, but Zhu Houzhao cannot let his son become a vassal of Catholicism.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao decided to change the rules, and he gave Roger a high status in the English congregation, Archbishop Thomas.

"Your Excellency Thomas, I can continue to support your religion as a nation, and even in the future, I can help you become the archbishop of the whole of Europa, but you have to explain one fact to the outside world," Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

"I don't know what the facts are, please tell me about it," Thomas asked.

Zhu Houzhao just smiled, and immediately ordered someone to bring the electric light he brought from Daming and the recording box made by Daming, and personally turned on the light switch: "Look at this light, this is what I brought to this world, what I brought to this world is not only light, but also this." ”

Zhu Houzhao opened the recording box, and a voice of his own came out of it, which was in English, and the content was: "I am God." ”

Thomas was already horrified when he saw the electric light, but now he was even more shocked when he heard the voice from the box, and then he heard that the box was actually in English, and it was somewhat similar to the voice of the Oriental man in front of him, and he trembled for a while: "You are a god?" ”

"You say yes and that, you say no then you don't, but at least, I'm a little bit more advanced than you guys, and I know the history of humanity and even the future of humanity, because I created it! If I want, I can make something in the future that can destroy a city directly, believe it or not? If you don't believe me, I'll take your life with one shot and let you go to heaven!" ”

After Zhu Houzhao pretended to say mysteriously, he pointed a gun at Thomas.

Thomas pondered for a long time, and finally bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "You are a god!" His Royal Highness the King is the Son of God, in the words of the Orientals, our King is the Son of Heaven, and his power comes from the grant of God, which is sacrosanct! ”

"You're smart!"

Zhu Houzhao smiled, and immediately said to Zhu Zaiyuan: "Yuan'er, remember to reward Bishop Thomas, and from now on, help His Excellency Thomas suppress Protestantism!" ”

Of course, if he wants to completely deify himself in England, Zhu Houzhao knows that it will take time, and now he has to continue to push England to the centralization.

The fruits of the victory of the anti-enclosure movement and the suppression of the rebellion were assured, and the development of capitalism in England began to be blocked, and then, Zhu Houzhao began to prepare for the implementation of the strategy of banning the sea and commerce at the suggestion of Roger, the conservative leader of England.

At the same time, Zhu formed an alliance with Thomas and other clergy monks and decided to implement a hierarchy of scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants in England to curb the development of commerce in England and protect the interests of traditional nobles such as members of the royal family and church personnel.
