Chapter 936 Daming's righteous son, America? Seeking the moon
"What? Recruiting Indians? Is the King crazy?" Old Washington, who was just about to rush to fight for James II, was the first to be angry and pointed his finger at James II.
"No, this is absolutely impossible! We finally eliminated the Indians in the 12 states. How can we recruit new Indians?" Old Jefferson, a large farmer from Virginia, was also popular.
"The colonies of the 12 North American states belong to us white, and they are all ours!" Adams, the owner of the Boston brewery, stopped doing it.
"Yes, this is given to us by God, no one can take it away from us!" The 300-pound fat man, Franklin, who was loyal to Boston, also turned his face.
"Even the king is not good!" Madison, the tobacco planter who also came from Virginia, shouted, "It seems like he is going to beat Churchill like this!"
"We will never agree! And we all have guns!" Another Virginia planter named Li shouted "Everyone has guns." Virginia was not doing well in America in the 21st century, but in the era of the 12 and 13 states, it was definitely the backbone of America!
"The children of the 275,000 colonies will unite and fight to the end!" The last speech was Roosevelt from New York. As a descendant of a Dutch profiteer, he actually couldn't stand the rude Virginia planters. What could be obtained by "deception" of civilization and progress, why should they kill and set fire? But he also knew that the children of the 275,000 colonies must unite, otherwise they would lose everything.
Churchill was also shocked by the sudden change of faces of the "Heroic Loyal Ministers" in front of him. What is this situation? Why did he get angry all of a sudden? They were so loyal and brave just now, but why did they change their faces a lot now?
No one mentioned any loyalty to the king. The twelve states in North America have become theirs, and they were given by God. They have nothing to do with the king of England. They are also ready to fight to the end. Everyone has a gun to see this. If he, Governor Qiu, is too tight, these "exiled prisoners" will rebel!
Although Churchill has thousands of British soldiers in his hands, it is impossible to send troops to suppress these "exiled prisoners" in this situation. He still needs colonial militias to help maintain the situation!
Just when Churchill was stunned, the leader of the Virginia militia (the colonial militia did not have a general, and the colonel was the largest) Old Washington's anger seemed to have subsided, and he looked at Governor Churchill with a burning look: "Mr. Governor, you just said that we can send envoys to the Yin family's army for peace?"
"Yes, yes," Churchill said, "The Aztecs' aid to the Appalachian Indians can only be transported through the Yin family, and in fact they are the biggest threat. So we should recruit some Indian laborers and direct them to build forts at various capes in the Appalachian Mountains to block the Yin family's route invading the twelve North American states. If conditions permit, we can even build a Great Wall based on the Appalachian Mountains. So we need a lot of Indian laborers. Of course, the cost of building forts, the Great Wall and the recruitment of Indian laborers can be borne by His Majesty the King, which is the majority, and you only need to pay a little money."
When I heard that as long as I paid a little money, the faces of these "Heroic loyal ministers" looked a little better. In order to protect their homes, they could still pay a little money.
But it is absolutely impossible to let a hundred thousand and two hundred thousand Indians come in!
Old Washington thought for a while and said, "We can repair the fortress slowly and buy more black slaves to repair it, but we must not let Indians come in and the twelve states in North America, and we must not become the second Mexico!"
"But we don't have time!" Churchill shook his head, "The terrain of the Appalachian Mountains is not dangerous. There are many passes that can be passed through, and there are also a large number of basins, valleys, and basins and valleys in the mountains are now occupied by Indians. Once the Yin family crosses the Mississippi River and advances eastward, these Indians will soon be turned into followers of the Aztecs!
By then, all twelve states in New England will be ravaged by the Indians!”
"No, we have time!" Roosevelt from New York refuted Churchill from England. "Mr. Governor-General, we can ask for peace from the Yin family, the Shangfangguo, and even the Great Ming Dynasty! Even if we kneel down to pray for peace from them, it is better than letting the Indians come back!"
"Yes! We can surrender to the Ming Dynasty!"
"As long as you don't let the Indians come to our homes, and don't let us pay too much tax, everything is easy to say!"
"We paid taxes to the king, but he couldn't protect us. We might as well pay protection fees to the Ming Dynasty!"
“Yes, no protection, no taxes!”
What? Churchill almost jumped up. You exiles were patting their chests and trying to be loyal to Daying forever. Now they are going to kneel down to Daming?
However, the choices of these American grandfathers and great-grandson are understandable. Mexico's predecessors brought in the Indians supported by Aztec. These white-skinned men might be able to exterminate the clan!
What will they lose when they surrender to the Ming Dynasty? It seems that nothing will be lost, including their souls! Because they are all "gods of God". As long as they say to God, they can be forgiven for doing anything.
"Governor," Nicholas Roosevelt spoke again, "I can go to Elizabeth City on behalf of you and the Dominant of New England (which is the fief of Sophie Massie). I just don't know what legal documents are needed to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty? Should we first convene a continental meeting and pass a resolution to invite the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to serve as the lord of the Dominant of New England? In addition, how much tribute should we pay to the new lord? Can we use tobacco from the special products of the twelve states to pay the bill? Also, if we become vassals of the Ming Dynasty, will the sanctions that the Ming Dynasty can dereliction of my own? Will our tobacco enter the Celestial Market? These are all things that need to be considered."
He was very thoughtful!
Even the legal procedures for surrendering to the Ming Dynasty were arranged, and the twelve state meetings had to be held first, then passed a resolution, and then issued an invitation, and never agreed to it! The procedures were so complete, it would not be so easy to deny it in the future.
Churchill's face turned pale and he was almost vomiting blood!
However, his blood still cannot be vomited, and it is even more impossible for people to arrest these rebels from the New World! Because this is Boston, there are white New World people who have guns outside the Governor's Office. If they arrest their leader, they will definitely rebel. Then the chaos will be big!
Churchill clenched his fist tightly, suppressed his anger, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't be busy kneeling to the devil's believers, because we have another way to make His Majesty the King kneel and kowtow to the monument of the Indians who were exterminated by you, and compensate them for their losses!"
The American grandfather and the great man started discussing again, but it was not about the king's kowtow, but about compensation!
“Compensation on losses?”
"Who will I compensate?"
"How can they spend money when they are all extinct?"
"Maybe a foundation can be established, managed by us, and the proceeds of the foundation can be used to commemorate the Indians who were exterminated by us."
Churchill was speechless. What good things were all these people thinking about? Do they still let them control corruption?
"Of course the compensation is for Aztec! Otherwise, what do you think the devil believer of Montezuma is looking for?" Churchill shouted, "But we still have to be prepared to deal with the invasion. The militias of the states must step up their training, and the weapons and equipment must also be reserved. Now is the era of sugar medicine and rifled guns. It requires a lot of money. The colonial states have to share the cost of preparation."
A big fee?
A bunch of American grandpas and American great men were unhappy when they heard that they had to spend a lot of money.
The protection of this British king is unreliable!
Or maybe you should consider surrendering to the Ming Dynasty? Not only do you have to worry about the Indians’ counterattack, but you don’t have to spend so much money to waste. You can also sell tobacco to the Ming Dynasty, which looks very confusing!
Churchill finally realized how difficult it is to serve the exile prisoners in this group of colonies! After finally appeased the masters of the colonies, he hurriedly sent his adjutant Randolph to take his handwritten letter to the fastest ship back to England. He had to tell the king about kowtow!
It seems that the cost of kowtowing is the lowest and most feasible. Perhaps the British Parliament can also pass a resolution asking the king to apologize to the extinct Indians in New England.
"Churchill! You traitor!"
As expected, James II's roar was heard in the Hampton Palace in London, which scared Churchill's sister and the royal mistress Arabella Churchill. While asking someone to inform John Churchill's wife, Princess Anne's "chief best friend", Sarah, while crying to the king's office.
The king in the office was sitting on a chair, gasping for breath, his wig on his head was thrown to the ground, revealing a big bald head, and he was still holding Churchill's handwritten letter in his hand, his face was pale and his mouth was still trembling.
James Fitz, the 29-year-old chief illegitimate son of the king, was standing in the office in a military uniform. Seeing that his eldest son had arrived, Arabella Churchill finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he walked into the king's office with tears in his eyes.
Seeing Arabella come in, King James just said in a trembling voice: "John, John has betrayed God, and he advised me to kowtow to the slaughtered Indians and to pay compensation to Aztec."
"But, but" Arabella Churchill didn't know how to develop for his younger brother, so he had to look for help at his son.
"Father," James Fitz said, "You're actually just kowtowing, not kowtowing to the dead Indians because they're all soulless!"
Well said! Arabella is relieved that the slaughtered Indians have no souls, so they are gone after death. The king kowtowed to "nothing", which means he did not kowtow.
If James thinks that the Indians have souls, the sin of massacre will be great, so this head is very worthy!
No matter which direction you explain it, this is correct.
Not to mention, James himself has no ability. His son James Fitz James is one of the illegitimate children of the outstanding European kings. In history, he followed his father to France and joined Louis XIV and finally became the French Marshal! And now, he is a powerful general in the British Army after John Churchill. He once led the British Expeditionary Force to participate in the long war in the Great Southern War, and his military achievements were outstanding.
King James was a little calmer, but he was still unhappy. "No matter whether they have souls or not, my prestige as a king will be greatly reduced. I may even lose the throne or even the head!"
He was right! He, the king of the Stuart dynasty, had little prestige. In the countries he ruled, both England and Scotland believed in Protestantism, and only the Irish were the territory of Catholics. However, Ireland's Catholics have always been in the foreign England. Under the oppression of Scottish Protestants, they were fourth-class people in Great Britain (first-class England, second-class Wales, third-class Scotland, fourth-class Ireland, fifth-class America), and could not give King James much help. The reason why James' father, Charles I, lost his head because he was an outsider in Scotland, was because he believed in Catholicism. If it were a native Tudor in England, Charles would be considered a slap in his wife, King Henry and Bloody Mary were both stable!
"Father, you can convert to Protestantism!"
At this time, Princess Anne had already walked in from outside the king's office. She also gave King James a big move as long as she entered the Episcopal Church, kowtowing would be no longer a problem.
"No! This is not possible." King James gritted his teeth and shook his head, "Louis the Great and Urban IX will not agree!"
In fact, Louis XIV didn't care about this at all, but King James was such a devout Catholic, and he followed his father. His father was about to be defeated and refused to change his ancestors. If he was willing to change his ancestors, even if he could not continue to be kings, his head would never fall off. Even the Stuart dynasty could be preserved, and at worst it would be abdicated to his son.
But Charles I was a king who would rather believe in than his head. James was a little worse than his, and he still wanted his head, but he could not do so! His son, the little James, was also such a fool. In history, Queen Anne had no heir after her death. People from the British Parliament came to him and asked him to return to the throne after his conversion. He just refused to agree to the Hanover family and the later Windsor dynasty.
