Li Dingguo was originally a military genius, although he was in England, where he was not familiar with his life, but fortunately, England was not big, and there were Jinyiwei who had prepared intelligence earlier, so it was even more difficult for him to show his military command art.

In addition, he is far away in England, and the emperor is far away, and there are no bigwigs such as Zhu Youxiao and Lu Xiangsheng to control him, and the constraints on him are small, which is more conducive to his full play.

Today's Li Dingguo is able to wander and harass one town after another in England, making Charles I, Cromwell and others dizzy.

In addition, the English towns have never had a sense of city defense, only the castle is thick, but relying on the thick castle alone and no experience in defending the city, it is naturally impossible to resist Li Dingguo's various siege methods accumulated through previous battles.

The military strategists of the two empires competed in this time and space, but it was obvious that Cromwell had the upper hand, and he never thought that Li Dinghui of the Ming Dynasty would play like this, occupying one and abandoning the other, forcing you to run around without rest.

Cromwell may have fainted, or perhaps his military talent was really inferior to Li Dingguo, except that he was more famous than Li Dingguo in history, so he didn't realize that although Li Dingguo was running around, he actually had a strategic direction.

Because if Cromwell carefully studied the map, he would find that the cunning Li Dingguo was actually approaching London, the capital of England.

A week later, just as Cromwell was about to arrive in Birmingham, Li Dingguo had already made a long drive to occupy Ayersberlin.

And suddenly, it was transferred to Hertford.

And here, it's already a stone's throw away from London!

Charles I was also panicked at this time, he didn't expect that this Ming army was running around like a ghost, and now it actually rushed into the vicinity of London.

But all the elites were in Scotland, and the only elite of the Royal Army responsible for guarding London was in Cromwell's hands.

Charles I ordered the only few thousand internal guards in the city to mobilize artillery and temporarily recruit civilians to form an army to strengthen the city's defenses, and at the same time urgently ordered Cromwell and part of the Scottish army to return to London.

However, after defeating a part of the English army outside London, Li Dingguo ordered a temporary rest and suspended the attack.

However, Charles I no longer dared to provoke this well-equipped Ming army, and they all cowered in the city and did not dare to move.

Li Dingguo simply took his people to rest in the suburbs of London, and they were not worried about someone attacking, anyway, now these British guys were frightened, and a Ming soldier could chase dozens of them.

However, as a military genius, Li Dingguo naturally would not be satisfied with this, and when he was running around with Cromwell, he was already thinking about the next military strategy, and unlike the hot minds of several of his subordinates who suggested that he should directly occupy London in order to make great achievements, he was still very calm at this time analyzing the situation of the enemy and us, and personally remembered various landmarks on the way, looking for the best way to war.

"No wonder Your Majesty said that these Europa armies don't like weird and cunning combat methods very much and mostly focus on large-scale annihilation, this Europa is full of plains, naturally can't play any thirty-six tricks, but not being able to play doesn't mean that you can't play, today this official will let these British Yankees see what is called surprise!" 、

As soon as Li Dingguo spit out the grass roots in his mouth, he stood up, patted the soil on his body, and ordered: "Blow the trumpet, assemble, and the whole army will retreat into the grassy and densely wooded forest that they passed before, and wait for the rabbits there!" ”

Cromwell galloped very angrily, he was very depressed, he did not expect that these eastern armies would be so hateful, and they would appear in the suburbs of London out of nowhere, if London was occupied, he would turn from a national hero to a national sinner, so after the recovery of Birmingham, he did not care about the fact that his men and horses were already exhausted, and despite the opposition of his subordinates, he still urgently ordered to return to London.

His subordinate officers and soldiers were also very depressed, feeling that their commander was like a mentally handicapped, and there was no other way except to run around with him, and the enemy did not catch one, and he was tired enough.

Cromwell's horse suddenly neighed and fell straight to the ground, foaming at the mouth, apparently exhausted.

Even Cromwell was thrown to the ground, stumbling to his feet and panting as he continued to walk.

On Li Dingguo's side, the Daming Inner Factory Brigade had already dug trenches, set up obstacles, and slept well.

At this time, the English Empire had not yet entered the era of industrialization, and large-scale pollution had not yet arrived, so the air was clear and green, making people feel as if they were really in a fairy tale.

Li Dingguo was also sitting in a manor temporarily occupied by him at this time, stroking the creeper clinging to the window, squinting his eyes very comfortably, he was already determined to win the upcoming battle, and only after Cromwell's large-scale men and horses appeared, he waved his hand: "Let's fight!" ”

Suddenly, countless gunshots rang out in the jungle opposite the manor, and Cromwell's officers and soldiers on the avenue between the manor and the jungle were suddenly put down, and at the same time, the Ming troops who were in charge of ambushes in various parts of the manor also threw Molotov cocktails and looted fire oil downward.

But many of Cromwell's officers and men were so tired that they sat down on the ground when they saw this, and it was difficult for them to even run for their lives, because they couldn't run.

Only Cromwell and a few of his own soldiers, who were not tired from riding horses, managed to roll into the wheat field with the last of their strength, and then took a shortcut back to London by virtue of their familiarity with the geography of their country.

And Cromwell's 30,000 elites were naturally all reimbursed here, and the entire 30,000 horses were wiped out by Li Dingguo, but the actual number of people killed and wounded was relatively small, because Li Dingguo's inner factory brigade had not fired for a quarter of an hour, and these elites directly raised their hands and surrendered.

Fighting outside, naturally there is no need to take prisoners, Li Dingguo ordered everyone to bayonet and stab these English soldiers to death one by one, no one resisted, they have become numb, they don't know what resistance is, at most they beg for mercy, but in front of the strong, it is useless to beg for mercy.

Fortunately, the Scottish army rushed back to London, and although Cromwell's elite was all annihilated by the Daming Inner Factory Brigade, Charles I was still relieved.

However, Li Dingguo did not intend to let Charles I live in peace, and immediately appeared in Grace after completely annihilating Cromwell's army.

This scared Charles I even more at once, because Grace was closer to London!

……

At the same time, Heiwa's Daming ocean-going fleet was also unscrupulously flaunting its might on the English sea, and after shelling Liverpool, it directly bypassed Anglesey Island and suddenly appeared in Sirdikin!

And bombard Sirdikin indiscriminately!

He also sent marines to capture Duke Wilbur's estate, and after killing Duke Wilbur and more than a dozen English princes and ministers who were holding a drinking party, they drove directly to Port Tartarbert.

When the British Navy heard the news, they hurried over, but they were directly sunk three capital ships and fled in disarray, while the Ming Ocean Fleet continued to bombard the port of Tartarbert and directly set fire to all the fishing boats in the port.

Immediately afterwards, the Daming ocean-going fleet shelled Truro and Plymouth again!

The Ming fleet continued to advance eastward, and succeeded in occupying Dorchester!

Dozens of English aristocratic officials were captured by Dorchester and thrown directly into the sea.

Then, in a hurry, Charles I mobilized heavy troops to prepare to block the Daming ocean-going fleet on the island of Wight at the mouth of the triangle, but the Daming ocean-going fleet directly made a big bend, and at the same time that Li Dingguo completely annihilated Cromwell's troops on land, the troops arrived in Rochester!

The Daming Ocean Fleet had also entered the Tame River area when Li Dingguo appeared in Grace!

And the defense of the entire Taim River is also useless for the Daming Ocean Fleet, the Tang River rushed directly into it as a vanguard, almost no ship dared to make a single order, and the artillery on the shore was also useless, on the contrary, the artillery on both sides could easily destroy the castle of the city of London.

Li Dingguo's army routed Scottish reinforcements and reached the outskirts of London and reached Stratford.

Charles I was afraid, and all the princes and nobles of England were also afraid, they did not expect this Ming army to be so terrible.

Seeing that London was about to fall, and the whole of England was in danger of being destroyed, although no less than 100,000 troops had now been gathered in the city of London, and a steady stream of reinforcements were coming, including the navy stranded in Ireland and Scotland, these princes and ministers did not dare to let their pots and jars passively shatter in the city of London, so that their comfortable life would be in ruins, especially the diehards of the empire, who began to take the opportunity to attack Cromwell, saying that he had angered the empire in the east to get to where it is today.

Charles I finally followed Prince Edward's advice, raised the white flag in his palace, and expressed his intention to surrender and sue for peace to Li Dingguo and Heiwa, and Prince Edward, the representative of the die-hards, was also approved by Charles I to begin to negotiate with the Ming Ocean Fleet on behalf of England.

According to Zhu Youxiao's instructions, the supply of troops and logistics for the Ming ocean-going fleet and the inner factory brigade could not occupy England for a long time, and there was no need to destroy the foundation of the Sturart dynasty's rule now, help the bourgeois revolution in England, and at most annihilate the living forces that launched the bourgeois revolution after Cromwell.

Li Dingguo achieved this strategic task, so both Heiwa and Li Dingguo agreed to Charles I's request for surrender, and both stopped their military offensives.

However, because Zhu Youxiao had already stated in advance, that is, considering that Heiwa and Li Dingguo could not negotiate with England on behalf of the Ming Empire with full powers, he specially told Li Dingguo and Heiwa that they could unilaterally sign a ceasefire agreement after forcing Charles I to surrender, and they could only start formal negotiations when important officials from the imperial court came.

This is not because Zhu Youxiao doesn't trust Li Dingguo and Heiwa or doesn't trust their abilities, because these two are both soldiers, and they only care about occupying territory and destroying the number of enemies and are in line with Zhu Youxiao's interests, and the people Zhu Youxiao wants to send to negotiate peace must know that the interests of the Ming Dynasty in England are not only economic but also political and military.

In this, Yang Sichang is naturally a good choice, not to mention that he himself is also a beneficiary of the opium trade, so there is no need to worry that he will not cheat this English Stuart dynasty.

As a result, a long waiting period ensued, and Li Dingguo's Inner Factory Brigade was stationed in Stratford, and a unilateral temporary cease-fire agreement was signed with England, and all logistics were provided by the British side.

The Ming Ocean Fleet retreated to Tilbury, and the English side also supplied the necessities of life.

And Prince Edward is in charge of these things, this Prince Edward is a British opium master, but he can't wait to be like this, and he has always had a good impression of Daming, so now he will have nothing to do to talk to Li Dingguo and Heiwa, and even invite these two to his manor from time to time to party.

Wang Guangting and Cao Shiwen were also released under the military pressure of Li Dingguo and Heiwa, and directly lived in Prince Edward's manor for treatment and recuperation, and now they also happened to meet Li Dingguo and Heiwa here.

Wang Guangting and Cao Shiwen gritted their teeth against Cromwell, but they had a good impression of the kind-looking Prince Edward, because Prince Edward not only personally gave them money, but also gave them his sixteen and eighteen-year-old daughters, who were like flowers, and Wang Guangting and Cao Shiwen also became brothers-in-law.

Li Dingguo and Heiwa's treatment is naturally better than Wang Guangting and Cao Shiwen, and they also tasted the taste of Yanmar, drank a lot of famous wine, and even rode a horse to the London Palace accompanied by Prince Edward, and also met Charles I, although Charles I hated them very much, but he still had to keep a smile to greet him, Li Dingguo also directly abducted a princess, forcing Charles I to only fulfill the good of Qin and Jin.

Seeing that these people all had Yanmar, Heiwa naturally didn't dare to be alone, so she also went in and out of the homes of the major English princes and nobles more actively, and finally fell in love with the mistress of a major bishop, forcing the archbishop to cut his love.

While these officials of the Ming Dynasty in England were living absurdly, Yang Sichang, a cabinet scholar and the number three in the military system, also took the Yu Qian and finally arrived in London in March of the 25th year of the Apocalypse.

Except for Charles I, who was sick for some reason, and Cromwell, who was also sick, almost all the English princely officials came out to greet them, and the first of them was Prince Edward, an activist who advocated peace and friendship.

Dressed in a royal bullfighting suit, with a jade belt around his waist and a moire black gauze hat on his head, Yang Sichang, who was in a lofty mood, was not in a very good mood, like a creditor who asked for debts above, and kept a straight face, and did not give these English princes and nobles any good faces.

The 100,000 catties of tobacco and soil worth millions of silver dollars in the Yang company under his name were destroyed by this group of heroes, and no one would be in a good mood.

Prince Edward bowed down to greet him with a smile on his face, but Yang Sichang only snorted and didn't say anything, and as soon as he got off the ship, he walked towards Heiwa and Li Dingguo, Wang Guangting and Cao Shiwen, who were obviously blessed, with a serious expression: "You have suffered. ”

Heiwa and Li Dingguo couldn't help blushing, during this time, the two of them either slept with women or enjoyed wine and food, but they didn't suffer, even Wang Guangting and Cao Shiwen couldn't say anything at this time.
