At this time, the London flu gradually spread to all parts of Britain and even Europe with the departure of Londoners. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The first area of info was England, Winchester, Plymouth, Margate and other cities, all of which were separated by a short period of time, and there were infections and infections.

And in just one week, it spread widely in the city. As a result, the city's citizens had to flee the city. Seeing that the consequences were so serious, the King immediately issued an emergency order. Let all major cities strictly prohibit outsiders from entering the city.

But the implementation of this decree is full of loopholes. And in between, there is also a time difference. As a result, the area of England was quickly overrun by the flu. The neighbouring region of Wales immediately followed in England's footsteps. Scotland, which is relatively far away, is not immune.

The death toll is rising. Sometimes, there is even a situation where a village dies completely. Because the situation was completely out of control, the British Crown was unable to take effective administrative measures. Let the people stay at home and not come into contact with outsiders.

Then, when the limelight of the epidemic passes, we will come out to clean up the mess.

When France, across the sea from the UK, heard the news of an outbreak of the terrorist flu in the UK. The coastal cities of Calais and Brest have both had outbreaks of influenza epidemics.

Napoleon, who had seized the military and political power in France, immediately mobilized his troops to blockade these cities with infected cases. But in inland Paris, where cases of infection also appeared, Napoleon immediately withdrew his troops and evacuated further inland to Chalon.

At the same time, barricades were set up to prevent the French people in the west from entering the east.

However, after the outbreak of nationwide influenza in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Prussia, the eastern interior was also quickly invaded and occupied by the influenza.

And through the flow of people, the Austro-Hungarian Empire in Eastern Europe also began to have epidemics.

So the whole of Europe was crying.

But during this time, a religious organization called the 'White Lotus Cult'. Suddenly in Europe, a rapid rise. Although they believed in God, they regarded the white lotus as a sacred object in the church. Many teachings have also been tampered with.

This is not fundamental!

The main thing is that the White Lotus Sect will use a kind of holy water made from white lotus to heal Protestants who have suffered from epidemics, diseases, and tribulations. Many civilians who were seriously ill drank this holy water and escaped the destruction of the devil.

In a short period of time, the White Lotus Sect has leapt from a small sect with a small name to one of the largest sects in the United Kingdom. It is the king, and on behalf of the royal family, he converted to the White Lotus Sect. Despite the obstruction of the traditional church, in the face of the terrible epidemic, these high-ranking clergy who stood in the way were killed by the epidemic.

Such an example has caused many clergy in the traditional church to change their membership and convert to the White Lotus Sect. Many nobles and wealthy businessmen also donated money and materials in large quantities, just wanting to get the holy water from the White Lotus Sect.

It's a pity that the later it gets, the rarer this holy water becomes. Prompt more wealthy and powerful aristocrats and wealthy businessmen to donate their money. France, the Netherlands, Portugal and other countries in Western Europe have also risen up to join the White Lotus Sect and seek holy water.

Only Spain and Prussia, where the traditional church has the deepest control, are still holding their heads and not bowing to the White Lotus. However, as the number of sick and dead people increases, it is estimated that it will not be long before this attitude is changed by the increasingly dissatisfied people.

At the same time, many Europeans have migrated overseas. And the final destination is mainly the New World of North and South America and the Ming Dynasty in the east. And because of the generous immigration policy of the Ming Dynasty, more Europeans are inclined to immigrate to the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, for a time, it was difficult to find a ticket for the ocean-going merchant ships going to Daming.

During this period, the Battle of Nanyang also expanded from the Ming and British to Siam and Burma. Among them, Siam, because the British were willing to give up the Malay Peninsula, wanted to give up. and the Ming Dynasty's involvement in the rebellions and rebellions of the Sultanate such as Kelantan and Kedah. And he was angry and turned to Britain completely.

Burma was dissatisfied with Siam because of the support of the Ming Dynasty and the land cession plan of the last Siam-Burma War. Therefore, as soon as he received the order of the Ming Dynasty to attack Siam, he let the army take the initiative to step into the east bank of the Salween River.

Now the two sides are fighting in this area.

But Britain is not idle! Let the British army in East Bengal begin to attack western Burma. Originally, the British also wanted to instigate the secession forces in Arakan to rebel against Burma. It's a pity that Arakan is actually under the control of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the British instigation is useless. Even the two princely states of Manipur and Assam, who had been friends with the Ming Dynasty before, did not listen to the instigation of the British.

And the tripartite forces also counterattacked British-controlled Bengal. The pressure on Myanmar, which was originally fighting on two fronts, has been greatly reduced. But this was only a small fight, and the most fierce was the Mingying naval battle in the Strait of Malacca.

This is a continuation of the last naval battle of Aceh!

But the battlefield, shifted from Aceh to the island of Rupa, near Sumatra.

Speaking of which, we have to start with the landing of British troops on the island.

Since stealing the military layout map of the Ming Dynasty, the British army started from the defense of the empty Mingtawe Islands and Cocos Islands, and let the British Army land on Sumatra Island first. But I didn't know that the Ministry of Defense of the Ming Dynasty used this incident to lure the British army into being fooled after the leakage of the military layout map.

So on the island of Sumatra, it has long been arranged. Not only the people of the settlement, but also the people of Java were brought forward. Some trained agents were also placed in settlements. So the British army was invincible on the island of Sumatra.

Many settlements, with only a slight resistance, have all pretended to be defeated and retreated.

Because of the fear of another leak of military plans, only a few high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Defense knew about this matter. No one else has ever heard of it. For example, the supreme commander of the formation of the Second Marine Division is not clear about the arrangements here.

Otherwise, they would not have let Chen Jiasheng and them stupidly run to patrol the waters of Simerolu Island. And in vain, so many soldiers' lives. Later, when he got the news of the landing of the British army, he was told from above to leave it alone.

Only then did I understand a little about the military arrangements of the Ministry of Defense.

So the British army, who was kept in the dark, thought that God was unaware, and secretly rejoiced or not. It wasn't until they had captured almost all of Sumatra that the British felt that something was wrong. Because the supplies they find in the settlements are all poisoned. But whoever eats it will not see the sun the next day.

Even the water you drink is contaminated by the carcasses of animals.

The only way to get the British commander is to make a quick decision, capture the island of Rupa, and use it as a springboard to storm the Malay Peninsula. Daming, who has already been arranged, will invite you into the urn. Pretending to be invincible, he wants to attack and defend Rupa Island.

And let the formation of the Second Marine Division, which was guarding the mouth of Malacca, deliberately let in the Indian fleet. Wait until the main force of the British army sent to the South Seas to sharpen their knives on Rupa Island. The formations of the First Marine Division, the Second Marine Division, and the Third Marine Division of the Ming Dynasty suddenly appeared around Lupa Island.

The Ming Army, which had retreated before, also returned to Lupa Island.

The most critical battle of the Nanyang War also officially began. (To be continued.) )
