Zhu Zhanqian's words were very straightforward, and Windsor's face turned red when she heard it, and her already fair and tender face was extraordinarily transparent and lovely because of the blush, this woman really gave birth to a charming and good-looking appearance.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, please let my daughter go." Duke Humphrey immediately begged for mercy, but at this time he was tied up and had no dignity at all.

Zhu Zhanqian turned to look at him: "If you and your daughter have to keep one of them on the boat, who do you think should be kept?"

As soon as Duke Humphrey said this, he hesitated. Zhu Zhanqian hated his appearance as a loving father, and his acting was too realistic. It can be seen from his hesitation that he actually cares more about himself than his daughter.

Zhu Zhanqian didn't intend to play with them anymore, but said: "Let your king come to see me and explain clearly about my best friend Zheng He. We can still talk. Otherwise, I will continue to attack Yinggelan."

If there is a disagreement, she will attack. A woman in Windsor has no experience in these negotiations, and she is at a loss for a while.

Instead, Duke Humphrey said: "Windsor, now you have to take His Excellency Neptune's words back to the imperial meeting, and find a suitable and good place according to His Excellency Neptune's request, so that our king can have a meeting with His Majesty Neptune, Your Majesty Neptune We have no deep hatred with us, so we must let the king and Madam Catherine explain clearly to Your Excellency what happened to his best friend Zheng He during the meeting."

"Okay...okay." Windsor replied dully.

Zhu Zhanqian smiled slightly, Humphrey is still relatively good.

"I have accepted your gift. You can go back and pass on the message according to your father's words. One more thing, you are good. Tell your king that you will be the middleman to communicate with us in the future."

Hearing this, Windsor's heart pounded wildly for a while, what does Zhu Zhanqian mean?
Seeing his daughter's appearance, Duke Humphrey felt helpless. There was only one reason for the imperial council to send her, and that was that she was good-looking. Do you really think that she can adapt to the situation on the spot and fight Zhu Zhanqian back and forth? no?

"Windsor, you have to go back and tell the imperial meeting and the king that this matter is not about me alone. His Excellency the King of the Sea is here for his best friends. They need to show the honesty and friendliness of our English people. His Royal Highness Sea King is still the same with me. Will make the same decision, hear?"

Zhu Zhanqian admired Duke Humphrey quite a lot, which is also the reason why he didn't gag him. A little girl from Windsor was sent for peace talks, and it was clear that she was here to inquire about the situation. It didn't take much thinking to know that Ingeland should have been mobilized at this time. The army moved here to defend Zhu Zhanqian.

And whether Duke Humphrey can be redeemed, if Zhu Zhanqian agrees, the beauty will present it with gold and silver treasures, if not, it will be useless for anyone to come, and they dare not take risks.

What Duke Humphrey asked Windsor to bring back was also to tell Ingeland's people, whether he can be saved or not is the same. You have to know the root cause of Zhu Zhanqin's action. The key is not in Duke Humphrey, but in King and Queen.

Under such circumstances, on the contrary, they may try their best to save Duke Humphrey, because they also need a backbone. Now that the regent is gone, they have not yet discussed who has the final say.

"Come here, give Duke Humphrey a seat, and put on two more clothes, so as not to catch a cold."

"Thank you, Your Excellency Sea King."

Zhu Zhanqian's attitude towards Humphrey was much better, and he accepted the gift and put Windsor back.

Humphrey, as a seasoned politician, actually sees that Zhu Zhanyan is deliberately delaying time, because after the steam naval battle and the previous bombardment of the shipyard, the ammunition and supplies on their steam ships are no longer enough to support them I have been fighting for a long time, so I will send the ship back to replenish some.

When Zhu Zhanqian bombarded the shipyard before, he saw the equipment of the Ingolan army. Obviously, their equipment is much better than that of the French army. This is why they have been able to fight against France for so many years. It has been completely defeated.

Their army strength should be the strongest that Zhu Zhanqian has encountered before, and there are a lot of firearms, so Zhu Zhanqian did not attack with great fanfare. He was deliberately delaying, and he already had a battle plan.

Also, he has to see if the Queen Mother Yinggelan has anything to do with Zheng He. If they just ransom Zheng He and then blackmail Daming’s steam warship, Zhu Zhanqian will have a plan to deal with them , if they harmed Zheng He, there would be another plan.

This is the purpose of letting Windsor go back to spread the news today. If they didn't do anything and learned what they meant, they should have talks with themselves, and they might even target France together. It is still more difficult to fight against the two countries at once. Yes, it is also a way to combine one to solve one of them first, and then solve the other.

If they dare not come to see him, then it is obvious and there is no need to explain.

The meeting didn't take long. Windsor returned to Ingoland, and was followed by someone to the King's Castle as soon as he landed.

The majestic Madam Catherine sat upright and asked her about today's affairs. She said everything in detail, and all the imperial ministers showed joy.

The other party's words like this show that there is still room for negotiation, so someone started to say that they are ready to start peace talks with the prince who is looking for a place and Daming.



But Mrs. Catherine knocked on the chair angrily, and the luxurious lady stood up and said, "Look, each of you, what do you look like, have you all become slaves of the Ming Dynasty? What did you say?" Just nod your head and bow down, if someone says you want to see your king, you can arrange it, but if they want your wife? Are you going to send them to their bed as well?"

Madam Catherine was angry, angry that all these courtiers usually said that they would be loyal to Ingolan, but after being beaten twice by Da Ming, they behaved in a low voice.

Facing Lady Catherine's anger, the imperial ministers were silent, and Duke Humphrey was not around, so they lost their backbone.

"Madam, the best choice is to negotiate peace with the Ming army now."

"No, absolutely not. The Ingoland Empire has never lost face so much. Let the foreigners make up their minds. Order me all the troops in Ingoland to send troops to the vicinity of London to defend the Ming army with all their strength."

"Ma'am, it's not rational to go to war at this time. Now that our army has been retreating on the French front and has suffered serious losses, it is not rational to add more enemies at this time. The news that Da Ming has revealed now does not want to fight. Our army can delay it first." Let’s talk with him and rescue Duke Humphrey first.”

Duke Humphrey has a high status and energy, it is impossible to sit idly by and not rescue him, and many things cannot be found suitable people to do.

Madam Catherine slapped the table again and left without saying a word, saying: "King Ingoland will not accept any form of insult to his identity. If the other party really has a sincere peace talk, then let them come to the castle."

The former imperial ministers are all speechless. Now that the regent Duke Humphrey and Duke John are not here, the matter has to be handled by Lady Catherine, but you leave your words at every turn, and your own people leave, and you will not participate in the next discussion on specific matters. , What will this group of people who have no decision-making power do?
National affairs are not just for you to be ruthless at every turn. Madam Catherine is used to this and throws all the problems to the imperial meeting, which makes the imperial meeting very difficult.

"Since Madam has decided to fight, let the army shrink to the vicinity of the city of London. Because of the Thames River, the opponent's warships can drive straight in, and deploy defensive soldiers along both sides of the river to take strict precautions."

Some people still agreed to fight, and the reason was naturally that the Ming army was insufficient. Could it be that the other party could really take Yinggelan with these steam warships and hundreds of people?

"Our country is now retreating steadily on the French battlefield. If we go to war with the Ming army again, it may be difficult to sustain. Moreover, the current military expenditure is insufficient. If we want to mobilize the army to garrison, I am afraid that the money will not be enough." The Minister of Finance has a big head.

"Then what else can we do, against the Queen Mother's wishes?"

Several people sighed, and someone said: "Why don't we move the troops from the surrounding cities first? According to the current city defense of London, if we don't increase the defense, our army may not be the opponent of Ming Dynasty, and we will definitely fight against it." The loss was heavy, but we still have to find a way to rescue Duke Humphrey first, and we still have to continue the peace talks."

"How to talk about peace, the king and queen mother can't come forward, and the other party can't come to our castle."

"Peace talks, peace talks, we have to talk. The conditions of the two parties are different, so far as the agreement is reached, since Daming's Neptune has appointed Windsor to go, it means that he is still somewhat interested in Windsor, or it can be used as a breakthrough."

"Windsor is the daughter of Duke Humphrey. Now His Royal Highness is still being arrested, but we have to exchange his daughter. I'm afraid it's not good, it's too low."

"It would be a blessing if people can be rescued."

The king of Ingoland rejected Daming's request for peace talks, but the imperial meeting proposed to hold a peace talk with Daming on the coast, and Windsor returned to the warship with the news the next day.

Windsor didn't see her father on board this time, so she hurriedly asked, "Your Excellency, Sea King, where is my father?"

Because of the panic, her chest can clearly see the ups and downs, and it is different from yesterday's more casual and conservative dress. Today, she has a waistline, and her chest, which has little space, is even more crowded today. She is wearing a long skirt today. It took a lot of thought to not get dirty.

A woman is a self-pleaser, she wants to please Zhu Zhanyan with her beauty, one is to save her father, and the other is to look better in front of this man because of a strange combination of circumstances, women who travel to Vanity Fair banquets know how to do it best. Seduce a man.

"Your Excellency the Duke has been asleep for a long time and hasn't woken up yet."

"May I meet my father first."

Zhu Zhanqian stretched out his hand to signal that the Duke was sleeping soundly in the cabin. Looking through the window, Windsor was relieved. Of course, he was speechless. His father really ate well and slept soundly. Sleeping so peacefully on the warship.

"Miss Windsor, I wonder how the discussion went yesterday?"

Windsor swayed and said: "Your Majesty Sea King, our king and queen mother are so honorable. I am very sorry that I can't come on board to talk with you. The imperial meeting agreed that we will have a meeting with you at a place along the coast."

Zhu Zhanqian raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly: "Oh, really?"

Yang Feng understood what Zhu Zhanqian meant, and immediately waved the flag, and the warship immediately set sail.

"Your Majesty, Neptune, what are you doing?!" Windsor turned pale with shock, and Zhu Zhanqian let the warship set sail and head towards the Thames River without saying a word.

"Send Miss Windsor back." Zhu Zhanqian said lightly.

At this moment, Duke Humphrey woke up. Zhu Zhanqian did not restrict his movements at this time. He walked onto the deck and knew where Zhu Zhanqin was going by looking at the direction Zhu Zhanqian was driving.

When Duke Humphrey was captured before, their ships had maps of Ingoland, among which the ones around London were the most detailed.

Now they are heading in the most important fishery trading market in London.

The bustling trading market was not far from the coast. When the warship of Ming Dynasty came, the soldiers who were already in full battle around began to attack.

The artillery fire of the Ming warship returned fire, and Yinggelan's simple firearms could hardly cause damage to the Ming warship.

In the busy fish market, seeing the approach of the Ming warship, people started to run away one after another.

With the waving of the battle flag, the warships fired salvos, all falling on the market and its surroundings. After several rounds of bombardment, the bustling fishery market had been reduced to scorched earth, and then Daming's warships sailed out grandly.

The purpose is clear, and the attack is on their important business gathering place. If you choose the nearest one, you don't need to go too deep, and you won't be able to react to a sudden attack on the opponent.

He didn't talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality with the other party at all. Zhu Zhanqian was obviously exerting pressure by force.

Windsor's face was paled by this resolute action, Duke Humphrey lowered his head and lamented, but Zhu Zhanqian's fleet almost consumed the remaining ammunition because of this bombardment.

In fact, they are now powerless to attack, but they can't let the opponent know his bottom.

Yinggelan was shocked. Why did Ming's army suddenly attack again? It also made them understand that it would be difficult for them to organize an effective counterattack under the sudden attack of the Ming warship.

The efficiency of the Yinggolan army was not high, and it took two days to hoard a large amount of artillery to the river bank, otherwise it would be enough to pose a certain threat to Ming's warships.

Looking at the pale Windsor and the sighing Duke Humphrey, Zhu Zhanqian said, "Duke Humphrey, your king seems afraid to see me."

Duke Humphrey is well aware of the queen mother's character, self-willed, and Ming's army doesn't talk to them about weighing the pros and cons.

"Your Excellency Neptune, if you let me go back and negotiate with our king, there may be a turning point."

"No need, let's take Lord Humphrey down to rest first."

Only Windsor was left on the deck shivering. Zhu Zhanqian approached her, and she only felt a shiver. This man was so close to her, she was immersed in the dual emotions of excitement and fear, and her heart was beating fast. What time is it.

"Miss Windsor, you smell very fragrant."

Ignoring the blushing girl, she whispered slightly tremblingly: "Your Excellency...Your Excellency..."

"Go back today and tell your imperial council and your people that I will fully attack the coast of Ingoland in ten days, land and occupy London, unless your king and queen mother can come to see me and tell what happened to my best friend Zheng He Explain everything clearly."

"Yes Yes……"

"Miss Windsor, you are very beautiful, very beautiful, and this dress is also very beautiful."

Windsor looked at the man in front of her with surprise. Under these circumstances, the other party seemed to be teasing her.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Neptune, for your compliment."

"Your dress is very loose and the skirt is fluffy. Even if you don't wear anything underneath, no one will notice."

"Huh?!" Windsor was between embarrassment and excitement.

"So Miss Windsor, are you wearing it or not?" Zhu Zhanqian reached out to Windsor's skirt.

Windsor didn't know how to speak and act for a while.

Zhu Zhanqian's hand just removed the dirty things from the skirt for Windsor, and leaned on her ear and said: "The next time you come to see me, don't wear it."

No matter how beautiful and luxurious the gown is, if the inside is empty, it is a decoration for everyone to admire and please.
