"Queen!"

The British Secretary of State hurried into the palace and found the queen, who now runs the United Kingdom.

"Is it His Majesty's reinforcements coming?"

The Queen, who was sitting on a chair and worried, saw the Minister of State rushing in in a hurry, her eyes showed surprise, and she hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

The Secretary of State shook his head helplessly.

Now the coast is occupied by the Ming navy, and their ships can't get out at all.

Even if you can get out.

In such a short period of time, His Majesty has not received any news.

Even if the messenger flew over, the king would not have flown back with his army.

"I'm sorry Queen, it's not the news from His Majesty's side, but the Ming sent an envoy outside the city."

"I see, it scared me to death!"

At first, when she saw the Minister of State shaking her head, the queen thought that it was the Ming Dynasty who had attacked, and her heart instantly pinched.

But when I heard that a messenger had been sent from the other side, my heart slowly relaxed.

"Did they say what they were going to do?"

Patting the two tall peaks, the queen sat back in her chair and asked the Secretary of State why the envoy had been sent.

The Secretary of State hesitated in embarrassment.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and said: "They gave us an ultimatum, requiring us to surrender before sunrise, otherwise we will be responsible for all the consequences." ”

The queen, who was slapping her chest with relief, stiffened her hand in the air.

"Are we really going to hold out until His Majesty returns?"

The Queen looked at the Secretary of State unwillingly, hoping that he would say a good news that would make people happy.

It's a pity that the Secretary of State shook his head back.

With the current guardian power of London, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, even tens of thousands of serfs may not be able to withstand it.

Moreover, in the city of London, except for a few cannons defending the city, most of the ordinary soldiers are equipped with cold weapons.

Although the palace guards were equipped with the latest rifles, what was the use of those hundreds of people?

According to the information he received.

The Ming army stationed outside the city has at least 100,000!

God, how many people are there in the city of London?

If you count the beggars, the disabled elderly, women, and children in the whole city, it is estimated that there are only 30,000 or 40,000 people.

This number of people is less than half of the others, and if this can be resisted, then there will be ghosts.

And according to the battle report he received some time ago, coupled with his conversation with the king, he analyzed from it that the Western alliance was not sure of victory at all.

Even the kings of the various alliances have the idea in their hearts.

Drag the main army of the Ming Dynasty in the way of war, and then force the Ming to the negotiating table, so that their rights and interests can be preserved as much as possible.

You read that right.

These bastards didn't even think about winning the war, and they even knew about their own country, so they might not be able to keep it.

All they did was to surrender with dignity.

"What do you think?"

Seeing the Secretary of State shake his head, the Queen's eyes flashed with a flash of disappointment, and at the same time, some remorse.

When Daming launched an attack in the morning, they received the news at noon.

If she had chosen to leave at that time, she would not have faced such a dilemma.

The queen now regrets it very much in her heart, and has been secretly scolding herself, whether she was kicked in the brain by a donkey at noon, why didn't she leave quickly.

But now it's useless to scold.

The other side has already made an ultimatum, and it is time to make a final decision.

"We will obey your orders."

"Whatever decision you make, we're here to support you!"

How many fools can be the Secretary of State?

Although he longed to surrender in his heart, he could not say this from his mouth.

If it had been said by his mouth, the war would have ended in the future, and he would have been liquidated.

So in any case, this surrender must come from the mouth of the woman in front of you.

I saw that the ball was kicked back again.

The queen felt a pang of annoyance.

Damn man.

How can you be so decisive when you're in bed? When something happened, I was cowardly, what a waste.

Glaring viciously at the Minister of State who bowed her head, the queen gritted her teeth and slapped the table fiercely.

"Then fight!"

The Secretary of State looked up in dismay.

Is this the clever he knows?

I'm usually quite clever, why am I stupid at this time?

Seeing the dismayed expression of the Secretary of State.

The corners of the queen's mouth were slightly hooked.

She knew it in her heart.

As a king, once captured by the enemy, the end is very miserable.

After all, their soldiers do the same.

Since surrender doesn't end well, why not fight for it?

Maybe I can hold out until my husband comes back to the rescue.

Once she persevered until her husband came to the rescue, she would become the bravest and strongest queen Britain had ever seen.

Of course, she had another thought in mind.

These damn men.

I have eaten so many benefits from her on weekdays, but now that I am in danger, I don't care about her life.

Since these men are so ruthless, let's drag them to death together.

The big deal is that if he loses the war, he will find a high-ranking officer of the Ming Dynasty to seek refuge.

She is still relatively confident in her appearance, and she is a queen again, so her attraction to men is not ordinary.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Looking at the silly woman in front of him, the Secretary of State screamed angrily.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

The queen walked up to the other party with her skirt, slapped her hard, spat on the "bah", and said disdainfully:

"As a Minister of State, when the capital is in danger, you want to run away, and even want to surrender to the enemy!"

"Don't think I don't know, if it weren't for the fact that your family's treasure was not finished, I'm afraid you would have run away long ago like those bastards."

"I tell you, I will not surrender to the enemy, for the sake of Great Britain, for the sake of my husband, for the sake of all my people!"

"Of course!" The queen crouched down and looked at the Minister of State who was covering her face and glaring angrily, and reached out her finger to hook the other's chin.

"For you, too!"

Gently leaning into her ear, the queen whispered demonic voices.

"I knew there would be such a day, so I wrote down everything I had with you on a parchment scroll, and this parchment was on the body of the king's guard."

"He's just like you, he's a person related to me."

"But the only difference is that he has always been loyal to me and willing to give his life for me."

"I told him at the time of my departure that in the event of any accident to me, I would hand over the parchment to His Majesty."

"When the time comes, hahahahahaha......"

The queen laughed maniacally.

"Madman, you madman......"

Knowing that the woman still had a hand, the Secretary of State angrily threw the other man to the ground.

"Giggle...... Can't wait? Do you want to go crazy again before you die? ”

The queen laughed and lay down on the carpet with her hands outstretched.

"Come, my knight, show your manly heroism."

"By the way, please don't forget, don't show your bravery just to me, I also need you to show your bravery in front of the enemy."

"Ahh

The Secretary of State let out a roar of rage, and stretched out his hand to hear only the stabbing of the skirt of the finest fabric being torn.

Then he bit it like a madman.

Three minutes later.

The Minister of State walked out of the Queen's chamber blindly, leaving only a woman laughing wildly.

"Refused?"

Ming army camp outside the city.

Qi Yuan, who was the commander of the army in the Southern Ganbu Continent, glanced at the envoy who came back in astonishment.

The messenger nodded.

"Yes, Qi Shuai, their Minister of State and Protector of the Capital refused."

"In his words, this is the land where they grew up, and they will not give up no matter what threats they face."

"Hehe..."

Hearing the envoy's reply, Qi Yuan chuckled.

"I didn't expect these white-skinned pigs to have a brave side."

"But courage is commendable, but the brain is too stupid."

"Hahaha..."

The surrounding staff generals burst into laughter instantly.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, you can go back first."

Waving his hand to let the messenger out, Qi Yuan turned around and came to the side of the London sand that had just been made today, looked at the sand table, touched his chin, and groaned.

The surrounding generals and staff officers did not bother, and waited quietly.

They had been following Qi Yuan for many years, and they knew that this commander had a special habit, that is, when making initial plans, he didn't like to discuss with others.

Often, the other side will first draw up an operational outline, and then let the staff generals refer to it and fill in the details.

"How many of our heavy guns have been transferred?"

looked at Qi Yuan, who didn't raise his head at the sand table, and asked.

"According to the report, our army currently has 80 heavy artillery pieces of 155 calibers, and the rest of the corps of light artillery under 100 calibers, a total of 320 guns, and Tiger Squat Artillery ......"

"That's it!"

Qi Yuan raised his hand to interrupt the report, he only wanted to know the number of long-range artillery, and he was not interested in melee things like tiger squat cannons.

Raised his hand and felt out three artillery flags, which were planted in three positions on the sand table.

"Artillery of more than 100 calibers, mixed into one artillery corps, stationed in three areas in three divisions, waiting for combat orders."

】

"An Yu, this is your responsibility!"

"Yes!"

The general, who had just reported the artillery, stepped forward, raised his hand and saluted, and took the order.

"The 2nd Marine Corps is here, and their mission is to attack the East City..."

"The Eighty-sixth Army Corps is responsible for attacking from here and clearing the obstacles in this area..."

"Army ......"

Flags representing different legions were planted on the sand table, and every time a flag was planted, an order would be issued in Qi Yuan's mouth.

The officer, who received the order, quickly stepped forward and saluted and left.

Soon, half of the headquarters was empty, leaving only dozens of staff officers pointing and pointing on the sand table, constantly adjusting the positions of each legion.

Qi Yuan, who gave the general order, took a small pony and sat at the door of the tent, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, looking at the morning star in the east, and humming a piece of opera in his mouth.

Qi Yuan may be due to his personality, unlike other generals who are good at wine, lust or meat, he likes to listen to dramas and drink tea.

Many generals who got along with him complained that this guy didn't look like a military general at all, but was very similar to a civilian official.

The noise in the command room did not affect Qi Yuan's mood.

Drinking the royal green tea poured by the guards next to him, playing with the high-grade red sandalwood Buddha beads given to him by Zhu Zhangui in his hands, leisurely admiring the arrival of dawn.

Time passed slowly, and the eastern sky turned from gray at the beginning to pitch black.

But the darkness didn't last long, and the fish-white light slowly emerged.

The inside and outside of the command room were quiet, except for the transmitter who was waiting quietly with a microphone, everyone stood upright, looking at Qi Yuan, who was sitting at the door playing with Buddha beads, drinking tea and humming opera.

A ray of golden light broke through the clouds from the east, passed through hundreds of millions of miles, and shone on Qi Yuan's face, which was half leaning on the horse.

The sunlight seemed to be very dazzling, Qi Yuan couldn't help but squint his eyes, and raised his hand to block it.

After a while, wait to get used to it.

He put the Buddha beads in his hand on the tray in the hands of the guards next to him, picked up the high-grade tea bowl that Zhu Zhangui also gave him next to him, and gently took a sip of the slightly cold tea.

Feeling the warm morning sun and the fragrant tea in his mouth, Qi Yuan exhaled comfortably, spit out a tea leaf in his mouth, and said in a calm and gentle voice: "Let's start!" ”

The chief of staff of the front army, who was waiting next to him, raised his hand and saluted, turned to face all the staff officers and said in a loud voice: "Qi Shuai has an order, the attack begins!" ”

"Yes!"

All the staff officers responded in unison, ran briskly to the radio stations, picked up the telegraph operator's microphone and shouted orders.

"Qi Shuai has an order, the attack begins!"

"Boom, boom, boom, boom......"

The first to strike were three artillery positions.

Four hundred cannons roared in unison, and shells whistled towards the city of London in the distance.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

The tranquility of the morning was shattered by an earth-shattering explosion, and houses and buildings collapsed.

Whether it is a civilian, a soldier, or a nobleman, he became an ant in the earth-shattering artillery fire and was ruthlessly crushed.

God is fair at this moment, no matter how high your status is, you deserve to die.

The queen, who was sitting on the steps of the palace in disheveled clothes, watched the explosion in the city, and silently got up and returned to the palace.

She's going to get freshened up.

She wants to use the most perfect posture and the most beautiful appearance to exchange for a chance to survive for herself.

The shelling lasted for half an hour.

When the last shell fell, three red flares flew into the sky.

"All of them are all ......"

While everyone was looking at the signal flare in the sky, the bugle bearers of the legion jumped out, raised the brass trumpet wrapped in red cloth, and blew the horn of attack with their cheeks puffed.

"Your Majesty has an order, the first feudal marquis to rush into the other party's palace, brothers rush with me!"

An officer jumped out of the starting trench, brandished a pistol in his hand and roared.

"Waiting... Marquis... Marquis ......"

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then let out an earth-shattering roar.

One by one, with their bayonet rifles, they charged at the city of London like madmen.

Ming historical records record: Yongxing four years of the eighth day of the fourth month.

After half a year of sailing, the Southern Ganbu Continental Front finally arrived at the operational target, the British main island.

He landed at Dover on the morning of the eighth day of the first month, and attacked under the city of London before dark.

On the ninth day of the first month, he launched an attack on the city of London, and fierce fighting lasted for a day.

At the cost of more than 1,500 casualties, the Ming Dynasty captured the capital of the rising empire.

In this way, the Great Eagle Empire also became the first country to occupy the capital since the war between the East and the West.
