Bang!

Liang Menglong did not hesitate, and after picking up the rifle, he pulled the bolt and fired a shot at this Floni!

Gunfire reverberated throughout the council halls.

Fronny's forehead turned from white to bright red, and he fell to the council table.

Blood soaked out of the crook of his arm, slowly trickled down to the edge of the table, and then fell on the carpet one by one.

The already noisy council hall suddenly became quiet.

It's very quiet!

Like an oil painting that has been set still, time is frozen into the frame.

The sound of blood dripping down was like the needle of a clock advancing time little by little, as if no one could stop him.

This is a very surprising and unexpected picture.

Including Zhu Houzhao, he didn't think of it before.

In the parliament hall sat Zhu Zaiyuan, dressed in the uniform of the Prince of Daming, but he was the king of England.

There is also the Emperor Taishang from the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor Taishang who has power all over the world!

But Roger, the speaker who presides over the parliament, is still a Westerner in Western clothes.

Standing with Roger was a Han man in a Confucian robe - Xu Wei.

On the opposite side of the king, there were all kinds of Westerners who served as councillors, including Floni, who had been killed by this time.

The three Liang Menglong standing in front of Frogney were the same as the officers and soldiers of the guard standing behind King Zhu Zaiyuan, but they were all black-bearded and ink-eyed Ming soldiers.

They still wear Ming military uniforms.

Dressed in cotton armor, wearing a badge on his chest, carrying a star on his shoulder, and wearing a helmet on his head, he is very different from Western soldiers.

But in the halls of the British Parliament at this time, they are presiding over the order.

It can be said that the entire council hall is a mixture of Ming and Western clothing, both Eastern and Western.

But in this day and age, this is not surprising.

First of all, it is not surprising that Zhu Zaiyuan became the king of England, because in the history of England, there have been incidents in the history of England to welcome the royal family from other countries to return to China as king.

Secondly, the Kingdom of England was originally established by the alliance of the king and other nobles, and there was no so-called centralization, and therefore no so-called national army.

Now Liang Menglong and others are considered royal troops, because it is reasonable for the escort Zhu Zaiyuan to appear in the parliament.

It's just that at this moment, the members of the parliament did not expect that their king, who has oriental blood, would order them to be shot because of their disrespect for the Emperor Zhu Houzhao.

"Your Royal Highness, Frogney has not sinned! You shouldn't shoot him! Your father was not a king or parliamentarian of England, and you should drive him away! ”

At this time, one of the councillors of Gogen stood up and continued to defend Fronny, and also continued to ask King Zhu Zaiyuan to drive Zhu Houzhao out of the place.

"Yes, Your Highness the King, you should drive him away!" Congressman Arris chimed in.

Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao asked Zhu Zaiyuan in a cold voice: "Yuan'er, I am your father, filial piety is greater than heaven since ancient times, they disrespect your father so much, if you don't shoot them, do you want to disobey filial piety and let him trample on your royal power?!" ”

"Shoot! Shot! ”

With Zhu Houzhao's support, Zhu Zaiyuan naturally did not relent, and directly shouted two orders to shoot in a row.

Thereupon.

Liang Menglong raised his rifle again, aimed it at Gegen, and shot it directly, hitting Gegen's forehead again.

Gogen fell under the table, and the blood naturally flowed out, dripping on the ground.

Followed by.

Liang Menglong raised it again, and Arris, who was about to flee in a hurry, was shot in the back of the head, and the whole person fell on the table of another councilor.

Blood is flowing!

Smack!

Smack!

The sound of blood dripping after the gunshots continued.

As an officer and soldier of the Ming Dynasty, Liang Menglong will naturally not be soft when he kills Westerners.

"Your Royal Highness, I didn't expect you to be so brutal! You are so good at killing parliamentarians, the congregation will be punished by God, I refuse to participate in such a council! ”

Councillor Clen stood up and shouted, his fists clenched, clearly furious at the king's act of murder.

"I also refuse to participate in such a council!"

Councillor Shedel also got up to leave.

"Me too, and at the same time, I feel the need to reconvene the council, exercise its powers, and remove this unreligious devil from the throne! Execute! ”

Councillor Zilsi said.

Zhu Houzhao saw that some parliamentarians were about to leave angrily, so he continued to question Zhu Zaiyuan: "Yuan'er, if you don't kill those who despise the royal power so much, do you want them to go back to revolt and make trouble?!" ”

Zhu Zaiyuan said yes, and continued to shout: "Those who leave, all of them will be shot!" ”

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Liang Menglong, the chief of the guard, held a rifle like a flying saucer, and continued to shoot these councillors who wanted to leave.

Naturally, Cren, Shedel, and Zirsey all collapsed in the council hall, and the blood that flowed out began to smear on the carpet of the council hall.

If Zhu Houzhao had to abide by the rules in order to innovate and eliminate malpractices and establish a Ming legal society in the late Ming Dynasty, he did not dare to kill political enemies indiscriminately, and now, he did not intend to establish a legal system when he came to England, on the contrary, he also trampled on the legal system here, and completely established a more centralized empire of absolute monarchy in England!

A more centralized agrarian civilization!

A British empire ruled by Confucian civilization!

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao wants these parliamentarians representing the British bourgeoisie to know what filial piety is, what is monarchy, and what it means to be a monarch and a minister who has to die!

And the present scene is naturally only the beginning, just a punishment for those who defy the royal power.

Some of the councillors who were about to get up were so frightened that they sat back, and some of the councillors who were already about to leave were so frightened that they ran back and sat down.

In short, under the deterrence of guns, these parliamentarians finally did not dare to make a big fuss and dare not leave here at will.

Zhu Houzhao continued to say to Zhu Zaiyuan: "Let's discuss matters first, the corpse doesn't have to be moved away in a hurry, and first continue to deter those parliamentarians who don't have the same heart as you." ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Zaiyuan responded, and then instructed Roger: "Luo Qing, please start the topic of the "Anti-Enclosure Bill". ”

As the Speaker of the Privy Council and the Speaker of the House of Lords and the Chief Justice, Roger is a confidant of King Zhu Zaiyuan, because his power and status are given by the king, so he has no need to disobey Zhu Zaiyuan's decree, and he began to announce the beginning of the "Anti-Enclosure Bill".

When the draft content of the "Anti-Enclosure Bill" was announced, the entire parliamentary hall showed unacceptable looks.

Some of the lawmakers began to mumble to each other.

Some parliamentarians couldn't help but clench their fists, and couldn't help but want to get angry and want to denounce something.

The "Anti-Enclosure Act" that Zhu Houzhao asked Zhu Zaiyuan to draft is indeed very strict, because the bill clearly requires that those who occupy the farmers' fields will be sentenced to death and have their property confiscated once they are found to be honorable or inferior!

"Luo Qing, ask them, do you have any suggestions for amending this bill?" Zhu Zaiyuan asked at this time.

Roger understood, so he conveyed Zhu Zaiyuan's words in English to the English parliamentarians present.

"I don't agree with this bill, banning land grabbing will limit the development of our textile industry in England!"

Councillor Oddosius stood up, he could not bear the harsh punishment of killing people to protect the interests of farmers.

"Luo Qing, you continue to ask those who have any suggestions for amendment, don't worry about those who disagree, there is no need to discuss with them whether the anti-enclosure law is implemented or not, this is the power of this king! Tell them that if there are no amendments, the bill will be passed within an hour! ”

Zhu Zaiyuan continued.

Roger continued to convey Zhu Zaiyuan's meaning.

After hearing this, the members of the entire parliament had extremely difficulty accepting Zhu Zaiyuan's attitude towards the parliament.

Ridiculous!

The parliament has no decision-making power, so is the parliament still a parliament?!

"I disagree with the king that it is the power of parliament to establish bills! The king is only responsible for the final judgment, but has no power to treat parliament as nothing! ”

Councillor Chulenche stood up and said.

Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Zaiyuan ignored it, just waiting for time to pass slowly.

Roger only continued to ask the MPs present if they could make any amendments, and the members of parliament only mistook Roger's tireless questioning for the weakness of the king, so that more and more parliamentarians forgot about the gunfire and became more and more fierce in opposition in order to protect their own bourgeois interests.

An hour passed.

Zhu Zaiyuan instructed: "Luo Qing, tell them that since the parliamentarians have no opinion on the draft, they will announce that the draft will be officially passed, established as a bill, and will be implemented on the first Monday of next month, so that the speakers of the two houses and the documents can sign it!" It can be issued! And tell these justices and judges that they must be executed in accordance with the law and cannot be covered, otherwise they will all be executed for the crime of disobedience! ”

Roger went on to convey Zhu Jaeyuan's meaning to the members of Parliament.

But at this time, the members of the entire parliament directly exploded, without discussing the resolution in the parliament, and even let them vote, only let them propose amendments, and also limited the time, and now that the time has passed, it is actually going to be promulgated in the world, how can this not make these parliamentarians angry?

Thereupon.

The lawmakers clamored and shouted that it was wrong.

"Yuan'er, don't pay attention to these people, let your officials sign", Zhu Houzhao said at this time, for the former emperor of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of propertied people against the dictatorship of the monarch is not used to it, and naturally it is not strange.

Zhu Zaiyuan complied with Zhu Houzhao's wishes and continued to ask Roger and other officials to sign.

Roger, as Speaker of the House of Lords, was the first to sign, and the House of Lords clerks he appointed also came to sign.

But at this time, Sophie, the speaker of the House of Commons, threw all the documents and pens in her hand under the parliamentary table: "I refuse to sign, such a bill is not in line with the system of my Kingdom of England, he is in violation!" ”

"Good!"

Seeing that Sophie, the speaker of the House of Commons, refused to sign, some members couldn't help but cheer loudly, and they all threw their pens on the ground, and even threw ink bottles on the ground to express their protest against the bill.

Normally.

The Speaker of the House of Commons was also appointed by the king, after all, the Tudor dynasty was still an absolute monarchy, and there was no bourgeois revolution in England today.

Therefore, in many cases, the bills of parliament are basically decided by the king, because the king has the final decision, and the speakers of the upper and lower houses are appointed by the king, so the bills of parliament can also represent the king's will in many cases.

But this is only when the bills of Parliament coincide with the interests of the king.

Although England is an absolute monarchy, it does not have a high degree of centralization, at least the parliament still has a lot of power.

However, in any case, now Sophie's doing this is a kind of betrayal to the king, so Zhu Houzhao only asked Zhu Zaiyuan: "Why do you stay with such traitors who resist and disobey the order, if you don't shoot them?!" ”

Zhu Zaiyuan hurriedly shouted: "Sophie disobeys the order, dismiss him as speaker of the House of Commons, and shoot him immediately!" ”

Bang!

Liang Menglong fired another shot.

The triumphant speaker of the House of Commons, Sophie, fell into his pile of papers.

The gunfire silenced the entire council again.

The MPs present had to reaffirm that the king would not allow anyone to rebel against his will.

Zhu Zaiyuan continued to instruct as he spoke: "Now, this king announces that Xu Wei will be appointed as the speaker of the lower house!" Sign it now! ”

Thereupon.

After Xu Wei saluted Zhu Zaiyuan, he countersigned with Roger, and the documents of the two houses were also countersigned.

The "Anti-Enclosure Act" has been officially passed!

The parliamentarians present watched all this in amazement, unwilling and somewhat frightened.

They did not expect that the king would pass the Anti-Enclosure Act so brutally and harshly.

It was only after this that Zhu Zaiyuan announced the end of the parliament.

Naturally, these gunned parliamentarians began to be carried out one after another, ready to be cremated.

Seeing the body of a parliamentarian being carried out, the English officers and soldiers guarding the parliament hall did not understand what was going on.

The blood from the hall of parliament had now flowed out of the hall, as if it were going to dye the whole of England red.

Zhu Houzhao's purpose was indeed to dye the entire land of England red.

"The forced passage of the bill this time and the killing of a lot of people will definitely cause the dissatisfaction of these English nobles and bourgeoisie, I am afraid that there will be action, so you need to have your own intelligence organization! Talent needs to be recruited from among the civilian population immediately! ”

Zhu Houzhao suggested to Zhu Zaiyuan.

Zhu Zaiyuan also did the same, and asked Roger to help him find the children of civilians in England, and prepare to set up a pro-health department, which is like the brocade guard of the Ming Dynasty.

……

A month later, when Zhu Zaiyuan began to organize the training of the pro-health department according to Zhu Houzhao's wishes, the anti-enclosure policy was officially implemented.

However, the results are far from obvious.

"Father, the magistrates of the counties are still shielding the powerful and the bourgeoisie, and many people are still being driven into the city, which is the latest situation reflected by my newly established Department of Health and Health," Zhu Zaiyuan said to Zhu Houzhao.

"England is not as big as a political secretary in the Ming Dynasty, what is it difficult to implement a policy, this resistance is nothing, in this way, lend you the strength of a regiment, you set up a patrol imperial historian in each county, and set up a royal historian in the central capital, let them take your officers and soldiers to patrol around, and the local judge will kill the judge! The Inspector must be someone you can trust! ”

Zhu Houzhao said.

"Erchen also has this intention, but now among the local Westerners in England, there are not many Erchen who can be trusted," Zhu said.

"You need to include talents, it seems that England also has to implement the imperial examination system, you let the Privy Council draft another bill, draft a bill for the imperial examination, like the previous Daming imperial examination of Zhengde, take the eight-strand article, of course, you can not be so difficult in the early stage, first in the first few years, only the Ming scriptures, only the four books and five classics and other Confucian classics memorization, first use the Westerners who are close to the Daming and close to Confucianism to take the initiative to learn Chinese!"

Zhu Houzhao said that he asked Zhu Zaiyuan to carefully discuss with Luo Jie, Xu Wei and others, and discuss how to establish a imperial examination system in England that allowed English poor students to advance to aristocracy.
