Chapter XVIII The Situation
After learning the news of the entry of the Liukou, the Xuanfu envoy of the Eight Hundred Dadian Xuanfu Division immediately gathered his army and marched towards the Liukou under Luo Rucai.
At the same time, he also sent an envoy to the Chinese army that was chasing all the way, saying that he could cope with it, and they would also restore the tribute of the Hua Dynasty.
"Because of the long distance, the minister failed to go to Beijing in time to pay homage, which is the sinful of the minister. When the Xuanwei Division is calm, he should set off to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Dynasty. ”
"Liukou Luo Rucai and others, the minister will also lead the army to pacify. The ministers shepherd one side for His Majesty, and they should protect the peace of one side, how dare they work the heavenly army to drive? ”
The messenger relayed the words of the messenger.
Obviously, he heard about what happened in the Mubang Xuanwei Division, and wanted to prevent the Chinese army from continuing to enter.
Moreover, at this time, the rogues were not as aggressive as they were at the beginning. At the beginning, Luo Rucai didn't bring many rogues, but they were the remaining elites after a hundred battles, so they were able to defeat Mu Bang's consolation envoy in one battle. Now, there must be no such combat effectiveness, so this consolation envoy also has the confidence to say so.
Qu Yuanju, of course, pretended not to hear.
Now I thought of going to the audience, why did I go earlier?
The Chinese army chased the rogue, and in the name of suppressing the bandits, followed in.
This time you go in, of course, you won't come out easily.
And what is very strange is that two months after the Chinese army entered, the rogue under the banner of the word "Luo" rushed out of the 800 Dadian Propaganda Division in embarrassment.
Luo Rucai once again managed to escape under the pursuit of the Chinese army, and this time, he fled north.
"If you don't destroy the rogue, you vow not to return it!"
Qu Yuanju's face was full of determination, he waved his hand, and the army turned to ......
……
Under the city of London, the soldiers of the brigade lined up, their faces were tired and their clothes were even more torn. In front of them, the new dirt on the ground covered the bloodstains, and a red carpet spread over them.
The shouts of killing had stopped, but the thick smell of blood in the air could not be dissipated for a long time, and the blackened soil and scattered weapons and flags could still be seen on the outskirts of the city.
At the end of the battle, seeing that the parliamentary army was already overwhelmed, the parliamentarians finally decided to compromise with Charles I, chose to arrest Cromwell, and asked the royal army to surrender.
This is the end of the battle.
Whether it is the royal army or the parliamentary army, the damage is huge.
Although the combat strength of the new army is stronger than that of the new model army, the combat effectiveness of the ordinary Wang army is really not good, and the new army is only more than 6,000, there is a certain gap in numbers, and Cromwell's command level is also quite good, and the Wang army is the attacker, this battle is also difficult, but fortunately, in the end, the new army is slightly superior.
In this battle, the royal army only lost 3,000 people, and most of them were the new army as the main force, and the 10,000 new army had already lost more than 3,000 in the previous battle, and after this battle, it was even more vigorous.
The new model army of the council also suffered more than 8,000 casualties.
Counting the losses in the previous series of battles, that's even more.
You must know that the combined strength of the two sides was only more than 30,000 people.
This is undoubtedly a big blow.
After all, before the 19th century, England had a small population and could not support a large army.
One of the important reasons for France's domination of Europe during the time of Louis XIV was that France had a population of more than 20 million at that time, while the population of Spain at the same time was less than 10 million, Russia 13 million, and Germany 14 million, all of which could not be compared, and it was this size of population that supported his standing army of as many as 400,000 at its peak.
At this time, Britain was only a few million people, and these tens of thousands of people were already the limit, although the Wang army won, but it was a complete and disastrous victory.
However, it is obvious that the people of Wang Jun will not think about this now, and the time has come to enjoy the victory.
Charles I rode a tall horse and walked on the red carpet into his capital, followed by his generals, among whom the division commander who led the instructor corps was at the forefront, he was the commander of the new army of the royal army, and was recognized as the first person to perform the battle.
Dressed in gowns, council members stood on either side of the red carpet with reluctant smiles on their lips as they welcomed him. Not so long ago, they had tried to defeat the king, putting the power of parliament above the king, but now they were forced to congratulate him on his return.
Many people's eyes were full of unwillingness, if it weren't for the Hua Dynasty on the side of Charles I, they wouldn't have lost at all......
However, if they say a thousand things and ten thousand, defeat is defeat, and they bow their proud heads.
The division commander glanced at the group of people and found that many of them were extremely familiar in style, obviously they were worn as formal clothes, and the person next to him looked like a matter of course, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile.
The wind of Chinese culture finally blew to England.
Ahead, Charles I proudly whipped his whip.
……
"Oh? Charles I, after a strong battle, finally recaptured London and reunited England? ”
Yan Quan looked at the information in his hand, and his eyes revealed joy.
Supporting Charles I was the best solution he had reached after many discussions with Zu and the members of the cabinet.
Now that he has won, of course, he is happy.
"Circulate the Cabinet and the Ministries." He ordered.
Soon after, the members of the cabinet and the secretaries of the various ministries hurried to gather together.
"After the reunification of Britain...... According to their consistent policy of balance of power on the mainland, our European strategy will be much easier in the future! ”
Yan Hongliang said, and the corners of the monarchs and ministers in front of him also curled up when they heard the words.
Indeed, according to British policy, they have always fought whoever is stronger in Europe, which is somewhat similar to that of the Chinese Dynasty.
The previous English Civil War, which had been fought for several years, had no time to take care of anything else, and now that it is finally over, it is presumably that soon the British monarchs will set their sights on the European continent.
In this way, they saved a lot of effort, and Britain stood in the way, so as not to expose their purpose.
When the time comes, it will be more convenient to sell things, and the situation in Europe will be known at a glance, there will be no long-term peace at all, and now the monarchs and ministers are about to drool when they look at the inventory of their country, that is not inventory, it is silver for nothing!
"By the way, now that the war has been won, I think the tax promised to us by Charles I should also be honored."
Tobe Shangshu suddenly seemed to think of something, and his eyes flashed brightly, and he said. The taxes of the ports and cities in Britain are still a lot of money, and he can remember it.
With so much silver and weapons in place, it's time to harvest.
"Of course. We are already negotiating with Charles I, and you can prepare to send the tax collector. ”
The eyes of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were full of smiles.
