Section 2595 Sino-British Special Treaty
The visitor was an old minister of Charles I's royal party, Lord Anthony Morris, who was very old and was of the same age as Mr. David's father, Earl Thomas Wentworth Strafford. He had worked hard in Scotland and fought for Charles I together.
Mr. David was polite and saw Lord Morris holding a banquet to entertain him and reminisce with him.
Lord Morris said: "Lord David Wentworth Strafford of England (who was allowed by Yan Changwu, who was previously named the Lord of England) destroyed Britain here. David, how can you bear it?"
He persuaded, "Your father shed blood for Britain. If he saw you forcing Britain like this and chasing the king, he would not know how sad he would be!"
Mr. David shook his head and said, "I am already Chinese, and we each have their own masters. Therefore, Uncle Lord Morris, don't mention this matter again!"
He rejected Lord Morris' persuasion, and later generations evaluated the achievements of Mr. David, the British Duke of the South China Empire, to destroy Ying, saying: "He is a real Chinese!"
Lord Morris conveyed the meaning of James II, that is, he was willing to exile overseas and pardon the royal party in Oxford, but asked the Chinese to withdraw from Britain.
Mr. David said that the first two conditions were not problematic, and the third condition was not obedient. The Chinese must station troops in the UK or even immigrate. This is a strategy made by the emperor. Who dares not obey? Military law is engaged!
Indeed, Britain was an important foothold in the South China Empire's plan. The British relied on the advantages of others' sadness in the English Channel to make a big spoiler in Europe. Yan Changwu naturally knew clearly about the British's behavior and would never let the British go.
The two sides could not reach an agreement, and Lord Morris returned in disappointment.
In desperation, James II gathered 120,000 troops, claiming to be 200,000, and marched towards London, preparing to drive the pagans into the sea.
Mr. David ordered 120,000 troops, of which 40,000 were the South China Army, 20,000 were the Eastern Imperial Army, and 60,000 were the British Imperial Army, 20,000 of which were the Scottish warriors, which were the troops dispatched by Scotland according to the agreement between Zao and the Chinese.
The two armies fought in Reading in western London (eighty miles away from London). The battlefield they chose was very good, a large field with flat ground, sparse shrubs and shallow streams, which was suitable for fighting.
Everyone is an army of more than 100,000, and they have been queuing for a long time, but the team is like the sea, with flags waving and the scene is spectacular.
At the same time, both sides ranked the "weak brigade" in the front line and the main force was placed in the back line.
The "Imperial Guards" in the puppet army commanded by James II were in the military office in the rear formation. The strong counties such as the Kent County Flintlock Regiment were in the rear army's left formation, and the Welsh cavalry units were also in the rear army.
The front line was lined up with miscellaneous troops. Their firearms were different, including advanced rifled rifles, smoothbore rifles and backward medley guns. Many people used bows and arrows and their armor was uneven. Many people even wore medieval armor to fight. More people were clothed and their formation was not neat.
James II raised his telescope to observe, and the scene he saw made him gasp.
Under the banner of King Charles I of the British King, the British Royal Army was equipped with the same equipment, all of which were in the same red military uniforms (out of a spoof of a certain Xiaoqiang, the British lobster soldiers were on the battlefield), the flintlock rifle was the same, and the rifled rifle was the same, and all were Chinese-style firearms.
There are many unified equipment, and the soldiers' bullets can be placed in the same barrel. However, the British puppet army's guns are of various types, with inconsistent caliber, and have great logistical pressure (in fact, there is no logistics).
Although the Scots did not replace the muskets of the British Royal Army, their cold weapons looked cold and difficult to mess with. They also replaced the weapons given by the Chinese.
James II was tired. He knew that after the war, the British would kill each other. The miserable thing was that the British who killed the royal army used pagan weapons.
The nominal commander of the British Royal Army was General George Monk. In fact, military power was in the hands of Lieutenant General Richard Dean. He was the deputy commander of the British fleet. He was captured in the Fourth Battle of the Mediterranean. After Mr. David's statement, he became the commander of the British Royal Army.
Behind the Imperial Army are the troops of the South China Army and the Oriental Imperial Army. Although they are invaders, they are very morale and seem to have a lot of opinions about putting themselves in the backyard!
The two armies faced each other, and both sides didn't answer, so they fought to the death!
At the command of James II, the troops were dispatched on a large scale, one square after another, moving forward. They were called puppet troops by the Chinese, but they saw that the puppet troops were everywhere, with white skin everywhere, and their clothes were mottled, like countless wolves, rushing towards the positions of the British Imperial Army.
The troops dispatched were 100,000!
"Wow, this is a waste of the world!" Liu Tichun, commander of the South China Army, exclaimed.
Mr. David said calmly: "It's not possible to throw it, they are smart. The result of our guns is that they will lose!"
If the puppet army does not attack first, their artillery and rifled rifles will be inferior to each other. If they are beaten, their morale will collapse and there will be no need to be fired later.
Sure enough, when they approached 300 meters, the South China Army opened fire first, forty-eight H210 heavy artillery fired, and roared and shot the cone-shaped bullet at the puppet army.
The attack was very accurate, and forty-eight shells shot forty-eight bloody paths in the puppet army array!
Wherever the cone bomb passes, all the people are knocked down. One shell can shoot through ten people, which is extremely powerful.
The killing and injuring three or four hundred puppet soldiers is a pediatric department for a large formation of 100,000 people, but forty-eight blood paths are already scared.
A little closer, the Imperial Army's rifled rifles were exerted. The rifled rifles with equipment rate of 30% opened fire together. The fierce firepower swept towards the puppet army like a storm, and groups of puppet troops fell one after another.
James II, who was standing in Gaogang to watch the game, couldn't help but groan: "God! Why do they fight so accurately?"
The British did not have such accurate firepower before. Now the Imperial Army on the opposite side is very accurate and should not waste much bullets.
This group of Imperial Army soldiers were very young, and the soldiers were no more than twenty years old. They offered good food and drinks and actively brainwashed. There was one advantage, that is, King Charles II of the United Kingdom was in the hands of the Chinese. He cooperated with the Chinese to brainwash the soldiers, which led to the soldiers being loyal to the king and knew that the Chinese were their friends.
As for officers, they are brainwashed and can only take up the job after passing the assessment.
For these British Royal Army officers and soldiers, Mr. David gave them very good treatment and generous military salaries. They lived up to their expectations and defeated the puppet army.
The puppet army's rifled rifles counterattacked, and smoke rose from the lineup, while the Imperial Army was unmoved.
The two sides became closer and reached the distance of the flintlock gun shooting, so they shot at each other. The puppet army continued to advance regardless of the casualties. Finally, the two sides came into contact with each other and immediately started a hand-to-hand combat.
"Scots, fight for our queen!" As the leader of the team, Henry Digby, shouted, the Scottish warriors rushed to the right side of the puppet army and chopped the puppet army to the ground, with heavy casualties!
