Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Liu Wenbing sneered, and ordered: "Pass down the general's order to shell Sunderland Port, three rounds of rapid fire!"

It was almost a replica of the port of South Cape Town. After three rounds of rapid fire, when a large number of barbarians ran to the port to fight the fire, Liu Wenbing ordered ten rounds of rapid fire again.

Liu Wenbing doesn't care about the old-fashioned methods he uses. Anyway, the method that works is a good method. Does he care if he is old or not?

Just like shelling a port, as long as after the first three rounds of shelling, the barbarians will be busy fighting the fire, and a large number of barbarians will gather on the port. At this time, ten rounds of rapid fire will definitely cause a lot of casualties to the barbarians. This is a good way!

But the development of the facts is often more interesting than the story - when Liu Wenbing ran to Edinburgh with the killers of the fleet, he found that the entire port of Edinburgh was close to being abandoned!

PS: Sacrifice "The Picturesque Landscape of the Late Ming Dynasty" today

Chapter 773 The war has begun!

The port of Edinburgh was almost deserted—almost, because there were still a few people in the port, waving white flags to signal the fleet not to fire.

Looking at the waving white flag at the port, Jiang Haijun put down his binoculars and said, "Master Hou, it looks like the barbarians can't bear it anymore."

Liu Wenbing sneered and said, "I didn't see it! Ben Hou's binoculars are broken! Send an order to continue shelling the port!"

Liu Wenbing's reasoning was lame. The binoculars produced by the Shaofu and distributed to nobles and high-ranking generals were broken at will?But Jiang Haijun and others nodded in agreement, indicating that their telescope was also broken.

Then the white flag at the port of Edinburgh was waved in vain, and the Suez Canal Fleet, which didn't care about the life and death of the barbarians, launched another bombardment.

Different from the previous two shellings of the port, this time the shelling basically had no results. It just killed those who waved the white flag and destroyed the port by the way. It's not like the previous two The bombardment was equally successful.

Not only was Cromwell confused about the behavior of the Ming Empire Navy fleet bombarding the port without a word, Charles I was also confused.

Compared with Cromwell, who was worried about all kinds of things, Charles I didn't even know the reason-it was simply inexplicable, was it because of himself or because of his subordinates?

Back then, the British Empire did not take the initiative to recover after suffering such a big loss in New England, but now the Ming Empire is actively sending troops to attack England?

Simply deceiving too much!

But Charles I decided to live with it.

If you can't bear it, you can't. Compared with Cromwell, who has no AC number in his heart, Charles I still has the same heart as Der Spiegel, obviously still has some B numbers.

If it weren't for Ming's armaments, let alone divide the north and south with Cromwell, the best result would be to be captured by Cromwell's rebels and forced to agree to their republican proposal.

The worst possibility is that he may become the first king to be executed by his subjects.

After forcing himself to calm down, Charles I opened his mouth and said: "Continue to send people to closely monitor the movements of the Ming Empire Navy Fleet, and contact them immediately if they want to talk about peace."

After all, Charles II was young and had an extremely hot temper. After hearing what Charles I said, he immediately snorted and said, "Father, why do we have to endure it all the time?

No matter how powerful the fleet of the Ming Empire is, the Royal Navy of the British Empire may not be afraid of them!If we continue to suffer, today they shelled Sunderland and Edinburgh, where will they shell tomorrow? "

Charles I rubbed his forehead and said, "Then what should we do? Declare war on the Ming Empire immediately? My son, I spoiled you before. You don't even know how terrible the Ming Empire is."

After finishing speaking, Charles I turned his attention to Andrew Gester, the Minister of State next to him: "Gest, come and tell him how terrible the Ming Empire is!"

Gester bowed and stroked his chest in response, then turned to Charles II and said, "Your Highness, the number of the Ming Empire's army is about 200 million, and this is only the lowest estimate. According to the information we have obtained, the Ming Empire can pull up troops at any time." An army of 2000 million men.

Please note, Your Highness, this is still without affecting the stability of their country. If they don't care about all the consequences, then they can pull up an army of about 3000 million to 5000 million at any time.

Your Highness, can all the countries in Europe put together form an army of 1000 million?Obviously, this is impossible.

As for their navy, judging from the known information, they have three main fleets and numerous small squadrons. The main battleships, which are the type of warships they bombarded Sunderland Port, are about a hundred ships. There are countless types of warships.

Your Highness, the combined main warships of the entire Europe can crush them in terms of numbers, but in terms of actual combat effectiveness, it is estimated that the entire European fleet may not be able to withstand their attacks. "

Charles II, who had been well protected by Charles I, was a little confused.

Everything that Charles II has been exposed to since he was a child is everything about Europe. There are only a few most powerful countries in Europe, and England is obviously one of them.

As for the distant Ming Dynasty, it obviously did not exist in the world of Charles II, or Charles II never took the initiative to understand the Ming Empire.

Looking at the somewhat dumbfounded Charles II, Charles I said: "Now you know how terrible the Ming Empire is? Although I don't know why they suddenly bombarded the port, there must be a reason.

What we can do now is not conscription, let alone declare war on the Ming Empire, but to find a way to figure out the reason, find a way to appease their anger, and ensure the safety of the British Empire. "

After finishing speaking, Charles I continued: "Son, apart from the shelling of the port this time, on the land of New England, we have already had conflicts with the Ming Empire, and the consequences are obvious. All those who expedition to New England None of them came back alive.

Before that, on the land of Africa, we also had conflicts with the Ming Empire, and the results of the conflicts were not much different from those in New England, so we gave up New England and Africa.

If we are the only ones who have suffered such a loss, it can also be said to be our problem, so what about France?Do you really think that France gave up the land of New France because of the civil strife in their country? "

Charles I's heart was filled with endless sorrow.

The port of my own country was bombarded and the people were bombarded and killed, so what could I do?As a monarch, he can't guarantee the safety of his subjects, but instead seeks perfection after being wronged, which is already dereliction of duty in itself!

However, all the problems are just like what Gerst said just now. The strength of the British Empire is not on the same level as that of the Ming Empire. The strength is not as good as others. What can I do except swallow my anger?

Just like France, which was in its prime, the British Empire could barely wrestle with France, but what about the Ming Empire, which could make France suffer?

Charles II, whose world view was almost destroyed, was a little dazed, and after forcing himself to calm down, he murmured: "It's incredible, why does such a powerful country exist in the world?"

Charles I sighed and said, "Okay, don't worry about why, since this country already exists, what can we do?

You go back first, have a good rest, and then go to learn about the Ming Empire, understand it from all aspects, at least you have to have a general impression of the Ming Empire.

Son, I am old, the British Empire will be handed over to you sooner or later, you have to remember, no matter what, don't provoke the Ming Empire, even if you are wronged by the big - being able to be wronged shows that you are still alive It is necessary to exist! "

Charles II bowed in response, and then went back to his room to rest—wronged or a good thing?What theory is this?

……

Looking at the empty pier in front of him, Liu Wenbing said bitterly, "Damn it, what are these bloody savages thinking?"

Jiang Haijun was also a little confused, and after being confused, he was full of admiration-when it comes to patience, these barbarians in England are really good enough!

I have experienced a lot of battles, big and small, from the vicinity of Daming to Southeast Asia, from Xinming Island to the African continent, Jiang Haijun has never seen such a tolerant country!

After thinking for a long time, Jiang Haijun didn't know how to deal with it, and simply asked, "Master Hou, what should we do now?"

What to do?you ask me?what should I do?

Liu Wenbing, who was also very tangled, simply said: "Continue, continue to bombard them at the next port, until these barbarians come out to talk to us!"

Hearing Liu Wenbing's decisive words, Jiang Haijun said in pain, "Master Hou, it seems that they have already raised the white flag before?"

Liu Wenbing also remembered - the barbarians had already raised the white flag to communicate with him, but he reasoned that the telescope was broken, and then continued to bombard the barbarians' port...

But Liu Wenbing did not feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he said carelessly: "Fire, it is definitely a fire! Pass on the general's order, let's go to the next port and have a look! At worst, it will take a few more days to destroy the entire barbarian country. Go around it!"

Liu Wenbing's order was carried out, regardless of whether anyone raised the white flag, in short, the port was bombarded, leaving a lot of chicken feathers and duck blood, and then rushed to the next port to bombard again, until the fleet circled back to South Cape Town.

There is not much difference between the port of South Cape Town and when the Suez squadron left - it was blown up like this bird, it is not a day or two to completely repair the problem, and the significance of the repair is not great, who knows that the Ming Empire When will China's naval fleet come back?
