Chapter 570: Wooing (6)
"Do you still have the face to come back? I'm going to crash you right now. β
Edmund put a gun on top of Jackson's head, and if Jackson hadn't knelt down and begged for mercy, he would have almost pulled the trigger and sent Jackson to hell.
"Your Excellency, you killed me, and the grenadiers and soldiers can't come back, I have reached an agreement with the Ming army, that is, Ling Jingyang, the Ming Governor's Mansion, and he asked Your Excellency Sir to go to Huizhou City to discuss the plan."
"Invite me to Huizhou City?"
Jackson desperately squeezed out a few tears and said: "For the British Isles, for His Majesty the King, I didn't die with the Ming army, just to come back and support the British Isles in China with Sir and Sir in China, please Sir don't live up to my heart." β
"Hey, Jackson, you servant's son, it's hard for you to talk about betraying the country so freshly and refinedly, kneel on the ground for me, and tell me how you were defeated? What is the origin of that Ming army governor Tingjingyang? β
The implication is that Jackson can live, Jackson added fuel and vinegar to Edmond to talk about the battle of Haifeng, said that the Ming army was extremely heroic, and said that the Ming army that attacked Haifeng had at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the Ming army also had many artillery, leaving the responsibility for the defeat clean.
In order to stimulate Edmund's desire to live well, he also said that the Ming army supervised Ling Jingyang was young and promising, on par with Jazz, and was a big celebrity in the Ming Dynasty.
Anyway, the grenadier regiment is gone, and there is no point in Edmund killing Jackson, he is too lazy to scold Jackson, but he wants to know if Jackson is really working for the Empire.
"Jackson, are you surrendering to the Ming army, or are you captured by the Ming army, let you come back and bring a message."
Jackson completely fell to Ling Jingyang, but Ling Jingyang promised him to help him become the king of the British Isles, and fully supported him to unify the continent of Europa, so that he could become a man comparable to the Pope.
But in front of Sir, he couldn't show it, he pretended to be distressed and said to Edmond: "Sir, although I was captured by the Ming army, I swear allegiance to Your Majesty, and this time I came back with a message, and now that the words are finished, Sir, you will shoot, right?" β
The sudden change in Jackson's attitude made Edmund overwhelmed, looked at Jackson curiously, and slapped Jackson on the top of his head again, just now Edmund put a gun on the top of his head, and now he was slapped again.
Jackson was very angry in his heart, although his status was not as good as Edmund's, but he couldn't humiliate him like this, he was beaten with a confused face, Edmund looked down on this servant's son even more, in his eyes only the king, nobler than him, everyone else was just a slave of the royal family.
However, he still didn't trust it, and said to Jackson: "Did you lure me to Huizhou City with the Ming army?" β
Hearing Edmund's childish words, Jackson smiled, this Edmond is not a member of the royal family?
"The Sword Comes"
If Edmund was not a member of the royal family, with his ability, let him command the battle in Haifeng City, I am afraid that he would have been beheaded by the Ming army long ago.
Despite Jackson's dissatisfaction, he held back his anger and curried favor with Edmund again.
"Your Excellency, the Grenadier Corps has been destroyed, the news has reached the French and the Spaniards, Sir is living in seclusion in the city, I am afraid that he will be attacked by the Spanish and the French, this is also my coming from Huizhou City, please Sir go to Huizhou to unite with the Ming army, only in this way can I resist the attack of the French and the Spaniards, and only then can I hope to meet the arrival of the Royal Cavalry Corps alive."
Edmund had lived in Canton for some time, and was well acquainted with the strength of the Spaniards and the French, and the two robbers wished for the destruction of the British grenadiers, if it weren't for the grenadiers in Huizhou.
The two thieves had already attacked the British Empire's stronghold in Canton, and Edmund felt that Jackson had some point, and said to Jackson: "Do you dare to swear to heaven that you are here for the British Empire." β
Jackson was thick-skinned enough, he remembered that he was the son of a servant, to his nobles.
He held the sky in his hands and said to Edmund in a tone that he had never said before: "Your Excellency, I swear to come for the British Empire, the Ming army agreed, as long as Sir goes to Huizhou City, the empire can become an ally with the Ming people, and in the future, the British Empire will exclusively enjoy the land of China, and Sir will also become the king's big celebrity." β
It is an indisputable fact that the grenadiers have been destroyed, and if they continue to stay here, they may be destroyed by the French and the Spaniards.
But Edmund still didn't trust Jackson very much, and repeatedly asked Jackson if he dared to guarantee his safety with his life!
Jackson secretly scolded him in his heart, isn't this nonsense?
"My dear lord, when I came to Guangzhou City, I saw a lot of French, Spanish mercenaries hanging around in the city, maybe these people came to the city to assassinate Your Excellency."
He was full of nonsense, but Sir Edmund believed it, and Edmund called out to the guards in the courtyard, and then ordered the British merchants and soldiers in the city of Guangzhou to immediately escort him to the city of Huizhou to meet with the Ming army.
Under Edmund's order, all the British people in Guangzhou City were evacuated overnight, and the British disappeared suddenly, and the Spaniards and French in the city were confused, and they all knew the news of the destruction of the British Grenadier Corps, and they did not want to eat the British Empire, after all, the land and population of the Ming people were too large.
With the strength of France and Spain, it is not enough to eat and digest, and it is necessary to work together with the British Empire to swallow this behemoth.
When the last Englishman in Canton withdrew, Governor Paul of the Spaniards, the supreme commander of Spain in Canton, immediately led his army to assemble outside the city.
When Lieutenant General FranΓ§aise heard that the Spaniards were going outside the city, he thought that the Ming army and the Spanish might make a move, so he also led his army to retreat to the city of Canton and assemble in a small county town to the east to defend here.
And the author of all this, Edmund left the city of Canton that night, not only in the stronghold of Canton City, but also in the stronghold outside the city.
The people rushed all the way to Huizhou City, and no one sniped them on the way, only Edmond was afraid of the French and the Spaniards chasing them.
He ordered a hundred soldiers to break the queen, and the soldiers who received the task of breaking off were very dissatisfied with Sir with a sad face.
When Edmund was resting, he rode a fast horse to the team of the broken queen, and first scolded Sir for making a fuss and not chasing the soldiers at all, but let the soldiers shelter from the wind and rain behind.
Soon it resonated with the soldiers, who scolded Edmund for being a mouse, and seeing that the soldiers were dissatisfied with Sir Jackson, in the name of the grenadier regiment, asked them to pledge allegiance to him, and he could protect the poor children.
Although Jackson buried the grenadiers in Huizhou Mansion, he was still a colonel, and Edmund did not shoot him, and he still had a lot of prestige in the hearts of the soldiers.
