Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 934 Cromwell was led to the guillotine (two more)
While Zhu Yousong was visiting the thousand-year-old imperial capital with all his concubines and accompanying civil and military officials, the Mediterranean Sea, the North Sea, the Norwegian Sea, the Danish Sea, and the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean were all densely packed with warships and naval forces from the Ming Dynasty and its allies. , filling the water surface.

On land, to the north of the British Empire, the troops of more than 20 European allies have gathered in Scotland, to the south of the British Empire, and to the north of mainland France across the sea, including the Normandy Peninsula and the Strait of Calais, the Strait of Dover, and the English Channel The entire area is also full of the Ming army and its European allies' troops ready to go.

Even counting the navy and army of the Ming army, and the army and navy of various countries, there are more than 100 million troops around the United Kingdom.

Now the British Isles and the Irish Isles of the British Empire are besieged on all sides.

Now that Britain has lost all its allies, it is completely fighting alone. Its last colony in Africa has also been declared bankrupt because Zheng Chenggong and Shi Lang's Armada occupied North Africa a week ago.

After Cromwell was defeated and returned to London, what annoyed him even more was that the Irish revolted. When your British ruler was overthrown, this undoubtedly made the Cromwell government worse.

However, Cromwell is still in control of the Congress, and there are 8 troops directly under his leadership. Among the 8 troops, 22000 of them are his ace army-the New Model Army.

The New Model Army consisted of 11 cavalry regiments of 600 men each, 12 infantry regiments of 1 men each, and 200 dragoons, directly under Cromwell.

The organization and training of the New Model Army were done by Fairfax.

Fairfax was the commander-in-chief of the British Parliamentary Army and Cromwell's most trusted deputy.

In the Anglo-Dutch War and the two British Civil Wars, he served as the commander-in-chief. His tactical attainments and personal courage are amazing.

In view of his experience, Cromwell first appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces in dozens of European countries. After losing every battle, the Allied forces in dozens of countries collapsed.

Later, the British and French allied forces organized dozens of countries and formed the European Allied Forces with millions of troops. This person was still the commander. Unexpectedly, they suffered consecutive defeats. Now all the European Allies have disintegrated, and only the British commander is left. One, all the original allies went to Daming's European allies and became their enemies.

But Cromwell still believed in this person. They planned to use the [-] troops to fight against the millions of troops of the Ming army and its allies, dreaming of counterattacking with fewer victories and more.

Now Marshal Ma of the Second Route Army of the Ming Dynasty and the commander-in-chief of the Allied Army, Zhang Xianzhong, has issued an order for a full-scale attack.

The allied forces of more than 20 countries in Europe advanced from all directions and by water.In the waters around the United Kingdom, thousands of Allied warships covered the sky with their hands, and the gunboats fired, and the water jets soared into the sky, rising and falling one after another.The British warships were surrounded by enemies, and many warships were blown up and sunk amidst the sound of gunfire.

The battle on land was also very lively. The artillery fire of the Allied forces was extremely fierce, and the gunpowder smoke filled the air, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

In just one day, the European Allied forces and the Ming army invaded the British mainland.The allied forces of the European countries took the lead, and the 10,000+ Ming expeditionary force mopped up, quickly advancing the front line, like a big net, which was about to be closed.

Three days later, Cromwell's troops were compressed in London, and millions of European Allied and Ming troops surrounded this thousand-year-old city no less than Paris.

Now in the city of London, there are less than 1 British troops capable of fighting.

Zhang Xianzhong issued an ultimatum to Cromwell, requiring them to surrender the city unconditionally within 3 days and accept His Majesty's disposal.If this time limit is exceeded, they will attack the city on a large scale, and London will become a piece of rubble by then. If the Ming and Allied forces are annoyed, they will kill them and leave no one behind!

Cromwell intended to live and die with the city, but his soldiers did not think so.On the third day, the soldiers suddenly mutinied.

The mutiny was still Cromwell's personal guard, that is, the thousand dragoons. They suddenly controlled the members of the Congress, controlled Cromwell, and declared to the outside world that they had surrendered the Allied forces outside the city and Ming Dynasty. Those who prosper against me perish.

Cromwell's remaining 8000 people also planned to save Cromwell and his Congress, led by Cromwell's deputy Fairfax.But Cromwell was put on the guillotine, his head was chopped off with a click, and then someone opened the city gate and let the Allied and Ming troops in.

Seeing that the situation was over, Cromwell's men threw away their guns one after another and became prisoners. Some of them took off their military uniforms, threw away their guns, and fled far away in anonymity, becoming deserters.The British commander, Fairfax, was also shot dead in the midst of the chaos.

In this way, the City of London was taken down.It marked the end of the Cromwell government in the British Empire.

Of course Zhang Xianzhong was aware of Zhu Yousong's policy. There were so many armies from various countries in the city. In order to prevent people from taking advantage of troubled waters, Zhang Xianzhong promptly ordered the allied forces of various countries to manage the armies of each country and strictly enforce military discipline.

This military discipline of course refers to the military discipline of the Ming Dynasty, which mainly refers to some measures to protect the people and not disturb the people, such as prohibiting killing, prohibiting adultery, prohibiting theft, and prohibiting looting.Then began to publicize the policies of the Ming Dynasty to the citizens.

After a few days, London stabilized.

Zhu Yousong led the imperial army to board the naval battleship, crossed the English Channel in a mighty way, and landed on the British Island.

At this time, the city of London was already festooned with lanterns and festoons. The people in the city timidly closed their doors, and boldly opened their doors to look outside. There were troops everywhere in the streets and alleys, clean water was poured on the streets, and loess paved the roads.Five steps, one post and ten steps, one post. Most of these guards are European allies.

Zhang Xianzhong's 10,000+ Daming Expeditionary Army lined up inside and outside several city gates in London. Zhang Xianzhong led his generals and lined up at the city gate to welcome the holy driver.

Those who lined up with Zhang Xianzhong and others were the heads of the Allied forces.

Near noon, Zhu Yousong's holy driver finally arrived.The Jinyiwei warriors and generals in fresh clothes and angry horses fought ahead with their long swords.In the middle are the accompanying civil and military generals. Zhu Yousong is riding a group of bay red horses. Behind him are 3000 musketeers, and behind the musketeers are [-] imperial cavalry.Cold light iron clothes, majestic.

Zhang Xianzhong, who was far away, knelt on both sides of the road with his generals and the leader of the allied forces.

When they got closer, the smug Zhu Yousong let them be free from courtesy, and let Zhang Xianzhong and others mount their horses. Like stars holding the moon, a salute broke through the sky. Amidst the earth-shattering sound of cannons, Zhu Yousong's saint drove into London. city……
