A century-old family that runs through the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 416 Situation

After learning the news of the entry of the rogue bandits, the Xuanwei envoy of the Eight Hundred Dadian Xuanwei Division immediately gathered his troops and marched towards the rogue bandits under Luo Rucai.

At the same time, he also sent an envoy to the Chinese army that was pursuing them all the way, saying that he could handle it, and that they would also restore the tribute to the Chinese Dynasty.

"Due to the long journey, I failed to go to the capital in time to pay homage. This is my fault. Once the Xuanwei Division has calmed down, I will set off to see His Majesty the Great Emperor of China."

"The rogue bandit Luo Rucai is waiting for me, and I will lead the army to pacify it. I am guarding one area for Your Majesty, and I am responsible for ensuring the peace of the area. How dare I work with the heavenly generals and the heavenly army?"

The messenger relayed the words of the messenger in this way.

Obviously, he heard about what happened in the Mubang Xuanwei Division and wanted to prevent the Chinese army from continuing to enter.

Moreover, the bandits at this time were not as aggressive as before. Luo Rucai didn't bring many rogue bandits at the beginning, but they were the elites left after hundreds of battles. Only then were they able to defeat Mubang Xuan comfort envoy in one battle. Now, he definitely doesn't have such fighting power, so the ambassador has the confidence to say so.

Of course Qu Yuanju pretended not to hear.

Now I think of going to the audience, why did I go there earlier?

You must know that the combined strength of both sides before this was only more than 30,000 people.

The Chinese army chased the rogue bandits and followed them in in the name of suppressing the bandits.

"I will never destroy the rogue bandits, and I swear I will never return them!"

Both the royal army and the parliamentary army suffered huge losses.

The shouts of killing have stopped, but the thick smell of blood in the air will not dissipate for a long time. The charred soil and scattered weapons and flags from the fierce battle can still be seen on the outskirts of the city.

Under the city of London, a large group of soldiers lined up, their faces were full of fatigue, and their clothes were even more torn. In front of them, the fresh soil on the ground covered the blood, and a red carpet spread over it.

The battle ends here.

Qu Yuanju's face was full of determination. He waved his hand and the army turned...

What is very strange is that two months after the Chinese army entered, the rogue bandits under the banner of "Luo" rushed out of Babaidian Xuanwei Division in embarrassment.

At the last moment of the battle, seeing that the parliamentary army was already exhausted, everyone in the parliament finally decided to compromise with Charles I, chose to arrest Cromwell, and asked the royal army to surrender.

The number of casualties among the royal army in this battle alone reached 3,000, and the majority of them were the New Army as the main force. In the previous battle, the 10,000 New Army had already lost more than 3,000 people. After this battle, His vitality was even more severely damaged.

Counting the losses suffered in the previous series of battles, there were even more.

Luo Rucai once again successfully escaped from the pursuit of the Chinese army. This time, he fled north.

Although the new army's combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the New Model Army, the combat effectiveness of the ordinary royal army is really not good, and the new army only has more than 6,000 people. There is a certain gap in the number of people, and Cromwell's command level is also quite excellent. The king's army was the attacker again, and the battle was difficult. Fortunately, in the end, the new army was slightly better.

……

The Parliament's New Model Army also suffered more than 8,000 casualties.

Once you go in, of course you won't come out easily.

This is undoubtedly a heavy blow.

After all, before the 19th century, Britain had a small population and could not support a large army.

One of the important reasons why France dominated Europe during the Louis XIV period was that France had a population of more than 20 million at that time, while Spain at the same time had a population of less than 10 million, Russia had 13 million people, and Germany had 14 million people. In comparison, it was a population of this size that supported his standing army of as many as 400,000 at his peak. At this time, Britain only had a few million people. These tens of thousands were already the limit. Although the king's army won, it was a complete and tragic victory.

However, everyone in the Wang Army obviously 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 them, the division commander who led the instructors group was at the forefront. He was the commander of the new army of the king's army and was the one who was captured in this battle. The person recognized as the first contributor.

Members of Parliament in formal attire stood on both sides of the red carpet, with forced smiles on their lips, welcoming his arrival. They had only recently sought to defeat the king, and to place the power of parliament above that of the crown, and now they were forced to congratulate him on his return.

Many people's eyes were filled with unwillingness. If Hua Chao had not sided with Charles I, they would not have lost at all...

However, after all is said and done, defeat is defeat, and they lowered their proud heads.

The teacher glanced at the group of people and found that many of the clothing styles were very familiar. They were obviously wearing formal clothes, while the people next to him looked like they were taking it for granted. The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up. A hint of a smile.

The wind of Chinese culture finally reached England.

In front, Charles I raised his whip proudly.

……

"Oh? After a fierce battle, Charles I finally recaptured London and reunified England?"

Yan Quan looked at the information in his hand, his eyes filled with joy.

Supporting Charles I was the optimal solution he reached after many discussions with his ancestors and members of the cabinet.

Now that he has won, of course he is delighted.

"Circuit to the cabinet and ministries," he ordered.

Soon after, cabinet members and ministers from various ministries arrived in a hurry and gathered together.

"After the British reunification... according to their consistent continental balance of power policy, our European strategy will be much easier in the future!"

Yan Hongliang said, and all the monarchs and ministers in front of him also raised the corners of their mouths when they heard this.

Indeed, according to British policy, they have always attacked whoever is stronger in Europe. This is somewhat similar to the Chinese Dynasty.

The British Civil War had been fought for several years and there was no time to care about it. Now it is finally over. I think the British monarchs and ministers will soon turn their attention to the European continent.

In this way, they saved a lot of effort, and with Britain blocking the front, they would not expose their purpose.

It will be more convenient to sell things by then. One look at the situation in Europe and we can tell that there will be no long-term peace at all. Now the monarchs and ministers are drooling when they look at the inventory in their own countries. That is not inventory, that is just white flowers. silver!
"By the way, now that the war has been won, I think the taxes that Charles I promised us should be honored."

The Minister of Hube suddenly seemed to have thought of something, his eyes flashed brightly, and he said this. The tax revenue from the ports and cities in the UK was still a large amount, and he was worried about it.

The Hua Dynasty has supported so much silver and weapons, and now it is time to harvest.

"Of course. We are already negotiating with Charles I. You can prepare to send tax collectors."

The Minister of Foreign Affairs' eyes were full of smiles.
