Chapter 1005: Surrender within a time limit

"Boom Boom Boom~" A series of artillery bombardments in the newly renovated London port, as a result, the port that had just regained a little vitality fell into a sea of fire and chaos again, many ships that had just been launched were burned one after another, and the people on the dock were also killed and wounded!

"Damn Song people, I'm not done with you!" On a high ground not far from the dock, the stout Henry I jumped to his feet in a hurry, but he did not dare to approach the pier for fear that the thunderous cannons would hurt him.

"Henry, don't be too angry, these Song people are clearly going to use this method to provoke us, you must not fall for them!" At this time, little Henry, who was standing next to him, opened his mouth to persuade.

"How can I not be angry, this is the third time! It's the third time! Every time we just built the port of London, these damned Song people would destroy the port with those cannons, which not only caused us serious losses, but also caused my soldiers to panic, if this continues, I am afraid that without them attacking, my soldiers will flee en masse! Henry I roared angrily.

In fact, it is not surprising that Henry I was so angry, since the last time the port of London was shelled, the Song army retreated and did not come back for a long time, and England needed to connect with the European continent, so he asked people to rebuild the port, but as soon as the port was halfway built, the warships of the Great Song Dynasty killed it again, and then burned the port.

Originally, after experiencing the second blow, Henry I was angry at the same time, but he didn't want to build the port of London in a short time, and he felt that the Great Song should send someone to contact him, but he didn't expect that he waited for many days, but there was still no news from the Great Song Dynasty, and many people in England thought that the Great Song would not come again. So they all clamored to build the port of London, after all, there was a lack of a port to communicate with Europe, and their losses were also great, and in the end Henry I could not withstand the domestic pressure, so he had to build the port again, and this time the result was even worse. Seeing that the port was about to be built, the battleships of the Great Song Dynasty came again, and this was the third time that the port had been destroyed.

Seeing Henry I's angry appearance, little Henry was also a little helpless, in fact, he could also feel that many people in England were very dissatisfied with him during this time, including several sons of Henry I, because they thought that it was the arrival of little Henry that brought such a powerful enemy to England. So they were already secretly discussing to hand him over, and although Henry I did not agree, his attitude towards him had also changed somewhat, otherwise he would not have yelled at him just now.

Looking at the burning harbor, Henry I screamed angrily to vent his anger, but unfortunately it had no effect, and in the end he could only watch the port of London burned to the ground, which annoyed him even more. After the Song warships bombarded the port, they did not leave immediately. Instead, he stayed in the port for a while, and he could even see some Song Jun on the ship pointing to the port and giggling, which also made him even more angry.

However, to Henry I's surprise, he thought that after these Song troops bombarded the port, they would leave like the previous two times, and not give them a chance to negotiate at all. However, this time it was a little different, the Song warships stayed in the port and did not leave, until the fire on the port was naturally extinguished, only to see a small boat suddenly sail out of the Song army's warship group, and then find a place to dock in the messy port to stop. And several warriors in armor escorted an officer ashore, and looking at them, it seemed that they wanted to make contact with them.

"Henry, these Song people actually sent people, do we want to meet them?" Little Henry also saw the other party's person coming ashore at this time, and immediately turned his head to ask Henry I, but he was very worried in his heart, because he knew that if Henry I planned to see the other party, it would mean that he was likely to give up on himself.

I saw that Henry I hesitated for a moment at this time, and soon nodded under the disappointed gaze of little Henry and said: "Send someone to invite the other party over, these Song people have destroyed our port several times, and it's time to talk to them!" ”

After Henry I said these words, he did not look at little Henry again, but ordered someone to bring those Song people who came ashore, and he did not dare to approach the dock, after all, it was still within the range of Song artillery.

After a while, he saw those Song people come to Henry I, but what he didn't expect was that the official headed by the other party was not a yellow-skinned Song man, but a white-skinned European, and he saw the other party salute him and said: "Your Excellency Henry I, on behalf of the Holy Roman Empire, I issue an ultimatum to your country, limiting you to surrender unconditionally within ten days, otherwise the army of our empire will land and fight, I hope that Your Excellency will consider the serious consequences of this situation!" ”

"What, you're telling me to surrender?" Henry I didn't expect that the first sentence of the messenger sent by the other party was to make him surrender, and he also threatened to send a large army to land and fight, which made the hot-tempered Henry I immediately want to turn his face, but considering the strong strength behind the other party, especially the opponent's warship was parked outside the port, this made him finally have to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Your Excellency the King, I think what I just said has been very clear, and you have already seen the strength of our empire's army, so I think we don't need so much nonsense, ten days, only ten days, if you don't surrender, then we can only express regret!" The messenger spoke again, emphasizing the time.

Although the envoy was very polite and spoke in a very calm tone, the content of his words was aggressive, and he did not give Henry I any chance to negotiate. However, he also has this confidence, after all, now that the entire Holy Roman Empire has been unified, and the Great Song Army is the main force of the empire, this strength is not at all something that a small England can compete with.

"You ......" Feeling the arrogance of this messenger's calm tone, Henry I couldn't help but be angry again, and wanted to stab this messenger to death with a sword, but when the corner of his eye saw the Great Song warship parked in the river, the whole person seemed to have been splashed with a basin of cold water from head to toe, and suddenly calmed down, if he killed this messenger at this time, I am afraid that he will be retaliated by the Song army's madness, and it will be impossible for him to surrender even if he wants to.
