While the cabinet ministers of Great Britain were still discussing how to deal with the fiasco, more than 400 members of the House of Commons had gathered in the parliament hall of Westminster Palace in London, and the scene was in chaos.

On the other hand, in the square outside the Palace of Westminster, tens of thousands of people shouted and demonstrated, and thousands of military and police lazily pretended to maintain order, but did not embarrass the demonstrators too much, causing their slogans to even storm into the parliament hall: "Cabinet down!" Re-election! Take care of the families of the fallen soldiers and ransom those who were captured! ”

The speaker of the House of Commons listened to the shouts of the demonstrators outside the window, spread his hands and said helplessly: "Ladies and gentlemen, you have all heard the voices of the people!" The members of this cabinet must be held accountable for the crushing defeat of the Kingdom of Great Britain Expeditionary Force! There must be a price to pay for dragging the Kingdom of Great Britain into the abyss! Therefore, today we have gathered the majority of parliamentarians here to exercise the rights that the people have given us! ”

After speaking, the speaker nodded to a deputy speaker, who understood, stood up, stepped onto the rostrum, and announced directly: "I propose that all current cabinet members, including the prime minister, be voted with confidence, and whether to remove them according to the number of votes." If you agree with this item, please vote by show of hands. ”

As soon as his voice fell, most of the parliamentarians raised their hands in the air, and it was clear that everyone was dissatisfied with the cabinet.

However, the Speaker, who was just about to announce the results of the vote, received an urgent request from the Cabinet to approve a proposal submitted by the Cabinet members to end the war against China and prepare for peaceful negotiations with the Chinese Empire to resolve the Indian and other issues.

.......

In the evening of the same day, news came out from the Parliament, and after several votes, all the cabinet members except for Chancellor of the Exchequer Gladstone were finally removed by a narrow margin, and Chancellor of the Exchequer Gladstone also took the initiative to submit his resignation to Parliament and the Prime Minister, but the majority of the cabinet ministers also passed the bill on ending the hostility between the Kingdom and the Chinese Empire, striving for the restoration of normal relations, and the peaceful settlement of disputes.

As soon as the news came out, the whole of London was in an uproar!

There are many people who celebrate with crowns, there are also many people who cry bitterly, and there are some people who seem to be indifferent but follow the blind coaxing, and so on.

The families of the demonstrators, the tea merchants engaged in trade, the dock workers of the steamships, etc., immediately organized a large number of people to take to the streets in solidarity with the Parliament, saying that the resolution of the Parliament had worked at the most critical time, and that the Parliament, on behalf of the interests of the people, had declared with great courage the end of the war, and had made a call for peace to the countries of the East, which would surely restore tranquility to the Kingdom of Great Britain.

A large group of people, including some English nationalists, textile factory owners, and textile workers, also began to march and demonstrate in great force to protest against the decision of the parliament and demand that the parliament be re-elected and that a new resolution be made on China. These people also burned the flag of the Kingdom of Great Britain and the flag of the Chinese Empire in public, scolded the cabinet members and parliamentary members as shit, and demanded the implementation of a tough policy towards China and the subjugation of the Chinese Empire by sending troops again.

But their actions are just the performance of their own group of people, and more people are glaring at them. Even the families of some of the soldiers who had just been about to disband the demonstrator angrily insulted him. Everyone understood that these nationalists were only angry youths, and thought that the Kingdom of Great Britain could afford to toss more, and that the textile factory owners were simply hoping to defeat the threat of the cotton competitors from the East by defeating the Chinese Empire.

Demonstrators from both sides inevitably came into contact in the streets, turning from name-calling to beatings and finally into violent riots. The families of the soldiers who conscripted China were many of them retired soldiers, and the textile factory owners and workers were their opponents, and the military and police who maintained order were even more sympathetic to the soldiers' families, and helped them deal with the factory owners either explicitly or implicitly.

Only the English nationalists dared not provoke them, but these people were all madmen, and their actions were extremely crazy, and they began to set fires everywhere uncontrollably, saying that they wanted to burn down the sinful Kingdom of Great Britain and restore the original status of the British Empire. Therefore, a large number of military and police soon came to suppress it, and all these demonstrators were sent to prison.

Queen Victoria, who was still at Windsor Castle, was treated by several doctors and returned to normal again and hurried to London. Hearing the resolution made by Parliament, Queen Victoria knew that the Speaker would soon formally submit the resolution to herself for approval. But this is just a formality, and it is impossible to refute the resolution of the parliament.

In the face of such a decision made by Parliament, Victoria was actually prepared. Don't look at her as the nominal head, the Kingdom of Great Britain only implements a constitutional monarchy, but because of her long reign, she has high prestige in the cabinet and parliament, cabinet members and prime ministers will always report to them as soon as they encounter major events, and Victoria has always grasped it well. There has never been too much mixing and change in the things decided by the Cabinet, the Prime Minister and the Parliament, and it is precisely because of this that the Parliament and the Cabinet will respect and support her.

But when she heard the news that both the Cabinet and the Parliament had unanimously approved a compromise with the newly rising Eastern Empire and were ready to settle the dispute peacefully, Victoria could not help but shudder: this was undoubtedly a great humiliation for her, who had been the king of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and was preparing to be crowned Empress of India!

She could imagine how the ambitious emperor of the French Empire laughed at her; And how Alexander, the lover of his youth, who has now become the Tsar, despised her; And how the officials and soldiers of all the overseas colonies of the British Empire, and the nobles of Great Britain itself, would arrange her and scold her. All of this made her extremely painful, and most importantly, she couldn't do anything about it!

When he was young, he was able to send an expeditionary fleet of more than 10,000 troops and a fleet of about twenty or thirty warships to break through the coastal defense gate of the ancient oriental country at will, forcing them to sign a treaty under the city and pay compensation and cede land. But I didn't expect that now in just twenty years, no, just ten years to be exact, all this has changed! That backward country of the East has become an object that even she, and even the entire kingdom of Great Britain, needs to show goodwill, and need to make peace.

But even so, even if she is unwilling, she must endure it, and she must sign the resolution passed by the parliament, how sad it is!

In the closed carriage, Victoria couldn't help but curse the Oriental man who had never seen it but had often heard of it: "Feng Yunshan, I, Alexandra Victoria, curse you, curse you, a despicable oriental monkey, not to die well!" One day, I will let you know the strength of the British Empire, and one day, I will make you and your Chinese Empire pay the price, and obediently return me India and Ireland, return me Australia, and return my British empire on which the sun never sets! ”
