Chapter 504: The Departed Charles II
Naval warfare is brutal, even more brutal than fighting on land, because there are no other allied warships around.
Falling into the water is basically no different from waiting for death.
The debris of warships floating on the surface of the sea is enough to prove what is happening in this area, and a large number of British warships are constantly drilling into their pockets in all directions.
And the Ming warship, with its advantage in range.
Constantly harvesting these last British naval cards.
....
In a bush on the shore, the trembling Duke of the Navy turned his head to look at his lieutenant in disbelief.
"So saying. . . They all failed, didn't they? ”
"Now it seems.. That's the case, in front of the Ming warship, we are like fish and meat to be slaughtered, and there is no way to resist. ”
At this moment, the face of the naval duke instantly became extremely ugly.
"When the war is over, these guys will send me to the gallows... We can't wait any longer, we have to find a way to stop this."
"Your Excellency, with all due respect... I'm afraid it's hard for us to stop the Daming Water Master, the hole cards in our hands... is constantly being consumed, and you seem to be ruining all of Britain's navy. ”
"Nope! I still have a chance.."
.....
After being excited, Liao Siwei's expression began to become melancholy, and this battle has begun to gradually change its flavor by now.
"The local British are simply too rude, and no one has come to negotiate with us about compensation until now, I have already decided!"
"This time, we don't just want money, we want us to leave just like when we fought against Houjin!"
"Get an unequal deal in exchange!"
The staff officer on the side actually felt a little incredulous at this meeting, so he could only follow Liao Siwei's words and say: "My lord, my subordinates think..."
"You're right... I took this course when I was at the Mariner Academy, and I'm going to draft an agreement now that we're going to teach these locals a hard lesson! ”
"Good! Go quickly, you are worthy of the staff officer of our Guangdong Water Division, it is amazing! ”
......
"Do we have a regiment of the Marine Corps, ready to prepare .. Since they came, since these Englishmen didn't even care about their own London. ”
"Then we've got to leave something behind..."
At the sound of an order, several warships began to depart from the original layout, and were quickly filled with vacancies by the warships on the side...
Several small boats, which began to be full of soldiers.
Constantly approaching the port of London, but now London is no longer as prosperous as it used to be, and everything you see is scorched earth.
"Quick! Hurry up and we're going to rush straight in! ”
The Ming army began to land in the port of London, which was undoubtedly extremely heavy news for the British Royal First Infantry Corps stationed here.
"What! There was about a regiment of infantry rushing out of the warships outside the harbor, and what were they trying to do?"
"Do you want to attack all of London?"
The commander of the infantry regiment was a blonde, blue-eyed purebred native, and of course there was no doubt that he was also from the British aristocracy.
"We probably can't take care of so much anymore, according to the original plan... As long as they do not attack the king's palace, then we will not see it and will not resist! Don't resist, you know! ”
The expressions of all the British soldiers at this moment were extremely serious.
Because only they know that despite being the most prosperous city in Britain, the number of British land forces deployed on the soil is very small.
The main armies, all in the colonies ..
Of course, no one would have thought before today that there would really be such a country that would dare to attack London, and even blockade the entire port of London at sea.
The British infantry regiment also reacted quickly.
From the moment they first received the landing of the Ming army, they began to deploy troops near the palace according to the predetermined plan.
...
And in the royal palace, Charles II looked anxiously at the officials around him, and an unconcealed anger was gathering in his eyes.
"You're telling me now that London is about to run out of sight, aren't you?"
The atmosphere gradually solidified with this sentence.
But someone still said tremblingly under the gaze of Charles II: "Your Majesty, we now have to face the reality with regret, the strength of the Ming warship is too strong... Our warships have never been able to break through the blockade they have established at sea. ”
"They've blocked the sea, and now they're going to attack all of London?"
"Your Majesty the King. Presently.. At present, it seems that this is the case, the infantry of the Ming Dynasty has landed in the port of London, and due to the previous bombardment, the entire port of London has been left without a decent defense, so they have hardly encountered any resistance..."
"Damn! Damn the Ming, damn the Netherlands! ”
God knows.. Why does the current Charles II curse the Ming Dynasty and the Netherlands at the same time?
However, people are often faced with the threat of death.
Any behavior that manifests itself is understandable, after all, many people have a hard time controlling their behavior in the process.
As a monarch, Charles II has shown that he is very calm.
But the next sentence made all the officials present look at each other...
"What about the carriage? If you don't tell me now, there will be no royal carriage left! We can lose the Port of London, and all of London, but we must not lose my carriage! ”
This is not unreasonable, after all, everyone knows that it is impossible for the Ming army to occupy the whole of Britain, so they will definitely leave.
Sooner or later, they will leave, which translates to ..
What you have lost still has a chance to get it back, but if you lose your life...
But there's really nothing left...
...
Closing the carriage door heavily, Charles II said angrily to the officials gathered around: "I hope that by the time I return, you have successfully solved this crisis, otherwise you will be ready to disappear with London!" ”
The officials present all nodded hurriedly.
Due to the rush of time, almost all the wealth of the entire palace was not taken away, of course, this is also because Charles II heard that the total strength of the Ming infantry was only a few thousand.
Such a few people conquered the whole of London, and even the royal palace.
Should.. It can't be..
At least that's what Charles II himself thought.
