Chapter 275 Nanjing Treaty

Cromwell was stunned by this unprecedented war scene.

This is because he was prepared to know that the other party was strong, so he deliberately placed the camp in the back, otherwise he would not be able to escape, which was still a problem.

He ran back to London in a panic and described the war process to the capitalists in the parliament, and everyone was silent.

These are all their own people. They know how powerful the parliamentary army is.

But now under Cromwell's description, the other party had no effort at all. He was already defeated. How could he fight?

The nature of capitalists was exposed at this time, and someone immediately proposed that since the Ming people wanted America, Greenland, and Iceland, they would just give it to them, and they didn't want British territory anyway.

But someone immediately objected. Greenland was fine. It was all over the place, and it was not close to Britain. But Iceland was too deadly. It was hanging over Europe's heads. As long as the Ming Dynasty stationed troops there, the whole of Europe would become a lamb and be slaughtered.

The two factions quarreled in the parliament, and the winner would not be decided for a while.

Cromwell had no choice but to send the Ming people's request to European countries in this war, so that they could see that the threat from the Ming people was close, and hope that the whole of Europe would unite.

Cromwell did not see the unity of the Europeans, but saw that the Ming fleet was like a lunatic, and he stopped changing places and snatched around Britain, making Cromwell worried.

Send troops, and it will disperse as soon as you fight, and it will waste manpower and material resources. If you don’t send them, you are the Duke of Protecting the Country. You don’t care about the country being invaded, but you don’t care about it. It’s really unreasonable.

"Where are they fighting again?"

Cromwell sat in the study and asked the general who came to report weakly.

"Liverpool! London is clearly in front of them, but they went around and ran to Liverpool. We are now analyzing their purpose."

The generals of the parliamentary army were also very distressed. They were obviously ready to fight to the death in London, and they wanted to try it out and pull the enemy into the city to fight. However, the opponent did not play according to the routine, and went around and ran to Liverpool, making everyone feel uncomfortable when they punched the cotton!

"Have our messengers met their leader?"

The general shook his head: "No, their leader asked him to bring a message, saying that he would hurt us first, and then talk to us, so that everyone can save their efforts!"

Cromwell fell powerlessly on the high-backed chair: "Forget it, let me think about it first. These damn pagans have too powerful weapons. Now the European continent cannot cross the sea to help us. Britain can only rely on itself."

The whole of England is now filled with a sense of despair.

The enemy was there, but he could not do anything. He could only watch them circle around Britain and choose the target he liked.

Pack the population, supplies, livestock, gold and silver, send them to their fast steel ships, and then transport them to the opposite of the Atlantic Ocean, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled, who are nothing.

What’s hateful is that these guys didn’t count after plundering them. When they left, they had to set up a fire to burn all the artificial buildings they saw that they could not move away.

The elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people do not care about them. These capitalists do not care about them, nor do they achieve the goal of dragging down the UK as Ma Tiezhu thought. However, the robbery of young and middle-aged people will greatly destroy Britain's productivity. Everyone knows this.

The Ming people are now interested in the coastal areas of the UK. In order to avoid losing more young and middle-aged people, Cromwell could only migrate to the inland areas of the UK.

While busy relocating the population, they also sent envoys to negotiate with Ma Tiezhu to see how big the appetites these Ming people who came from afar were!

"Since they have sent someone, let's meet."

Ma Tiezhu was tired of robbing him again, and had been floating on the sea for three or four months, and was about to go back and rest. It would be nice to meet this messenger.

"Please don't rob you anymore? Can you provide conditions?"

Ma Tiezhu was amused when he heard this. Isn’t this the purpose?

He carefully took out an envelope from his arms and photographed it in front of the messenger: "Look, this is our condition, just sign it!"

This thing was given to him by Li Bin, all of which were curved letters, and he didn't know it. Anyway, as Li Bin told him, the British asked them to sign it when they came to the door.

The envoy was overjoyed, and the other party just needed to make the conditions. He picked it up and looked at it: "Treaty of Nanjing? What?"

Then he looked down and his face gradually turned blue: "oh, god, you are simply too bullying!"

Although Li Bin was in his thirties, his bad nature still remained unchanged. He directly changed the name of the Nanjing Treaty in later generations. The terms were modified according to reality, and then he used it to let the British sign it.

"Recognize the ownership of the Ming Dynasty over the Americas, Greenland, and Iceland, and pay a 20 million yuan gold note. The Ming people are allowed to move freely in all cities in the UK and do business. After the crime is committed, they must be handed over to the Ming people themselves for trial. The Ming people are exempt from taxes in the UK."

The messenger looked at the treaty and his face was covered in cold sweat, and he couldn't even speak.

No matter what he thought, Ma Tiezhu knocked on the table: "You can't make the decision like this. Go back and tell your Duke of Guardian. I have to know the result within ten days, otherwise I wouldn't mind resting and continuing to come."

As soon as Cromwell brought the treaty to Parliament, the entire Parliament exploded.

Everyone was mentally prepared for the Ming Dynasty’s ownership of the Americas, Greenland and Iceland before, but it was uncomfortable to pay a compensation of 20 million yuan.

The Ming Dynasty’s gold tickets are a tough thing. Everyone knows that this thing can be exchanged for gold and silver directly. After doing business with Daming City for so many years, everyone knows how much wealth it is.

The compensation was still one-time, and the Ming merchants who were tax-free later made these capitalists feel distressed.

Although the Ming Dynasty merchants have not come yet, [    www.biqugex.co] But in the foreseeable future, there will definitely be merchants who will reach the UK. What will they rely on to compete with their competitors who are advanced in technology, cheap and cheap, and do not have to pay taxes?

The parliament was originally divided into surrender factions and war factions, but now they are all the same voice, which is to fight against the Ming people to the end.

"Jing Yijing, the question now is, what do we rely on to fight against the Ming people? The coastal cities have been robbed by them, and the fleet has been blocked at the mouth of the Thames. At their speed, they can reach London in one day. Can we really stop them?"
