Only Zhu Zhanyi understood Windsor's words. Zhu Zhanyi glanced at Windsor up and down. She was still wearing a gorgeous dress with bright colors and meticulous tailoring, like a flower of wealth in the world, but now the wide skirt was gone.
Any clothing.
As Zhu Zhanzhen's eyes glanced around, Windsor felt that she was being looked at cleanly. Her posture couldn't help but feel a little awkward, shy and embarrassed, but her body temperature slowly increased and she became excited.
Maybe she likes such a stimulating feeling. Windsor couldn't believe that she would be like this. She was a lady and would enjoy such a feeling.
But unexpectedly, Zhu Zhanzhen did not do anything to her and instead let her enter a room, leaving her on the warship. Of course, she was the only one left.
Moreover, Zhu Zhanzhen did not restrict her activities on the warship, but no one in the Ming Dynasty soldiers paid attention to her, or in other words, no one dared to pay attention to her.
Three days passed like this, and the Ming Dynasty supply warship, which was rushing slowly and slowly, finally arrived. Zhu Zhanzhen walked to the deck with Duke Humphrey early that morning.
He was not embarrassing Duke Humphrey. At this time, he asked calmly: "Duke Humphrey, tomorrow is the day when I and Ingeland start a war. I wonder what you think of this war?"
Duke Humphrey thought this question was a trap and said with a smile: "His Majesty the Ming Dynasty Sea King's army is so brave, I'm afraid our Ying Gelan army can't resist it."
Zhu Zhanzhen said easily: "You think I will lose, and you also hope that I will lose."
"Your Excellency Neptune... Your Excellency Neptune, I don't mean this."
"I also feel that I will definitely lose if I fight like this."
Zhu Zhanzhen's words surprised Duke Humphrey. If this was the case, why did Zhu Zhanzhen still fight?
Duke Humphrey immediately understood that Zhu Zhanzhen did not want to fight Ying Gelan head-on. He probably told Ying Gelan that he wanted to attack. This was just a feint attack.
"Duke Humphrey, I heard your family originated in Liverpool."
Zhu Zhanzhen's words made Duke Humphrey instantly understand what Zhu Zhanzhen meant.
Zhu Zhanzhen deliberately demonstrated before and used force to force Ying Gelan to make a choice. In the end, Ying Gelan chose to fight, then they had to mobilize their troops to London. With the Ming Dynasty's military force at sea, they would definitely not dare to fight at sea. They needed
A large number of soldiers came to defend.
As long as the army is mobilized, even if the military strength of other surrounding cities in Yinggelan decreases, Zhu Zhanzhen can rely on the speed advantage of his warships to quickly take a detour to other port cities. In this case, it will be more difficult for him to capture that city.
Much lower.
It can be seen from his words that his goal should be Liverpool.
And even if the English are aware of it, what can they do? If they don't mobilize troops, Zhu Zhanzhen may really attack, or block your port. This is the busiest port in England. It's blocked.
The longer it goes, the greater the loss.
Humphrey understood Zhu Zhanzhen's intention, but now he did not understand Zhu Zhanzhen's intention in telling him this.
"Duke Humphrey should have seen it. We are preparing to attack Liverpool by surprise and attack the goal from the front. Even if the British troops feel it, they don't know where I am going, and they can't catch up with my warship by land march. Humphrey
Duke Leigh, do you think my probability of winning Liverpool is high?"
Duke Humphrey said with some embarrassment: "Your Excellency Neptune, you are wise and powerful, so of course you can do it."
Life is in someone else's hands, and Duke Humphrey is quite aware of current affairs.
"His Excellency the Duke's family made their fortune in Liverpool, so I chose Liverpool specifically. When we get there, you have to use your own reputation and power to help me."
Duke Humphrey never thought that Zhu Zhanyi had made this plan, and he had a headache for a while. If he went against Zhu Zhanzhen's wishes at this time, he might be killed. His daughter was still on the other person's ship, and his family would end there.
Already.
But if he helps Zhu Zhanyi, he will be Ying Gelan's sinner and an accomplice of foreigners.
Duke Humphrey hesitated to speak.
Zhu Zhanzhen changed his explanation: "Your king is still young. The Queen Mother and Duke John control the government, causing the people's livelihood to be ruined. They are also losing ground on the French battlefield. Duke Humphrey is dedicated to helping the country and saving the British Empire."
In times of crisis, with the help of the power of the Ming Dynasty, we asked the king to clear his side. What is meant by clearing his side and expelling evil people from his side? What do you think of this statement?"
"What do you mean, Your Excellency?"
"I think Duke Humphrey is a capable man. It would be a good choice for you to continue to govern Ingeland, and we can work together to deal with traitors like Duke John and the Queen Mother. In this case, Duke Humphrey, you will be
I am the only regent left, and I can interrogate the queen mother and her lover and get the answers I want."
Humphrey understood that Zhu Zhanzhen wanted to take advantage of his existing power. His family had deep roots in Liverpool. If Zhu Zhanzhen's actions were followed, coupled with the military deterrence of Zhu Zhanzhen's Ming army, it would indeed be possible.
There is a high probability that he can control Liverpool, but in this case he will become the enemy of the Queen Mother.
He knew the Queen Mother very well, this headstrong woman.
Does he have a choice? If he doesn't do what Zhu Zhanyi says, then Zhu Zhanyi may make him fall into the boundless sea and die in the next second.
He is not a brave man who is not afraid of life and death. On the contrary, he is attached to power and covets wealth. This is his true appearance.
Following Zhu Zhanzhen's words, Duke Humphrey sighed and said: "My lord was blinded by an adulterer when he was still young, and he did evil things. As ministers, we should lead the troops to clear the lord's side."
"Duke Humphrey is truly England's first-class loyal minister and good general."
After some negotiation between the two, Zhu Zhanzhen's warship slowly disappeared from the sea area visible to the naked eye in Yinggelan.
This made the Yinggelan people even more nervous. They didn't know what Zhu Zhanchang was doing, so they sent ships out to sea to find Zhu Zhanchang's location.
As the sun rises in the morning, this is the day when the Ming Dynasty people put down their bold words and plan to land for battle. All the Yinggelan soldiers are in preparation.
But as time passed little by little, there was still no sign of the Ming army's attack, and the ships that went out to sea to search found no trace of the Ming army.
Everyone in the castle was worried, and the soldiers came to report: "Your Majesty, the Ming army has disappeared. The offshore area is missing, and its whereabouts are a mystery."
Queen Mother Catherine laughed loudly: "The useless people of the Ming Dynasty put down their bold words and wanted to attack our Yinggelan, but they were scared away by our army of Yinggelan. The timid people of the Ming Dynasty did not dare to fight with us.
Fighting Yinggelan, and you guys who are talking about peace talks, look at the results now, huh, I really doubt you are spies of the Ming Dynasty."
Everyone in the Royal Council looked extremely ugly. In order to save their respect, they said: "Mrs. Catherine cannot take it lightly now. The Ming people attacked us unprepared before. Now we have to be more careful when they suddenly disappear."
"Humph, I need you to remind me that the coastal army will continue to be on guard. As long as the Ming Dynasty's army dares to come, we will sink it." Lady Catherine's face was filled with a confident and high-spirited smile, and she consciously used her troops like a god.
The Yinggelan Guards defending on the coast were all wondering why Ming Dynasty suddenly disappeared. Do they really dare not fight?
Come to think of it, they only have a small number of people and no backup supplies, so why should they say they want to land in Yinggelan?
By the evening of that day, there was still no news about the Ming army. Everyone finally relaxed. There was no news after three days. The soldiers and civilians in London celebrated together. In order to celebrate that they had defeated the Ming army, Lady Catherine held a very grand ceremony.
celebration ceremony.
Of course, it was still impossible to get the money from her garden repairs. The finance minister had to think of a way on his own, and the finance minister was almost driven crazy.
Next, Yinggelan returned to its former peace, but there was no news about their regent, Duke Humphrey, and Lady Catherine did not want to find a new minister. By repelling the Ming army this time, she trusted her own judgment very much.
and military and political abilities.
It turns out that governing is so simple, and she thinks she can do it well, so why bother relying on others? She is the leader of this country.
She was so high-spirited that she even felt that she should be the chosen queen, the destined queen of the Yinglan people.
Until two days later, soldiers suddenly came to report.
"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, sorry, news just came from Liverpool that Duke Humphrey was in Liverpool......"
"What's the name?" Lady Catherine was shocked. She didn't expect Humphrey to appear in Liverpool. So the Sea King of the Ming Dynasty should also appear in Liverpool.
"Duke Humphrey sent a message asking for a thief."
The soldier handed over a piece of paper. Lady Catherine opened the paper and looked at it with shock on her face.
Your Majesty, Humphrey, is personally appointed Regent by the King. Since being appointed, I have only known how to abide by the law.
Now that the young master has succeeded to the throne, he trusts the treacherous minister and the demon queen, causing great disaster and losing three or four tenths of Yinggelan's territory on the mainland.
I am grateful for the difficulties of the late king in starting a business. He attacked cities and conquered many territories. He had to do everything himself and became sick from overwork. I am deeply ashamed of the current situation. I am incompetent to help the country. I implement policies and the evil queen obstructs them in many ways.
amnesty.
The treacherous minister John was repeatedly defeated in battles, abused the treasury's money and tax money, took bribes and violated the law, and was a minister in vain.
If there are no honest ministers in the dynasty and there is a treacherous queen in the court, we must train troops to fight against them and clear away the evildoers on the emperor's side.
The current calamity is imminent and we really want to survive, but we have no choice but to do so.
Righteousness and treachery are irreconcilable, and one must abide by Heaven's instructions to bring peace to the country. The gods of heaven and earth will draw their lessons from their hearts.
I hope that the wise people in the world will join forces to attack us and restore our clear sky to Yinggelan.
Of course, Humphrey's denunciation against thieves could not be like this. It was written in English with local characteristics. When translated, it means something like this in a concise and concise way. This was what Zhu Zhanzhen asked him to write, and was used to instigate the attack on thieves.
There are people in the Ingeland royal family who have different intentions. After all, Duke Humphrey is also the son of the old King Ingeland and the younger brother of the previous King of Ingeland.
After all, we have the right to inherit.
On the one hand, he is under the threat of his life, and on the other hand, this is not a good opportunity to seek England. At least saving his life first, and restoring his freedom is the top priority.
So Zhu Zhanzhen quietly headed to Liverpool with his fleet. At this time, Liverpool could be said to have a wide open door.
It was a port city, with a small population, and more than half of its troops were deployed to London. The Ming warships could march straight in. Then, relying on Humphrey's lobbying skills (plus the use of muskets), he successfully instigated a rebellion among some of Liverpool's top brass.
In just a few days, they quietly captured Liverpool and published this memorandum against thieves widely.
Lady Catherine's face turned green with anger. For the past two days, she had been immersed in the emotion of being a destined queen. This was a blow to her head that made her buzz.
"Go and find all the ministers from the Royal Council. Why did these incompetent guys let the Ming Dynasty secretly go to Liverpool? We still have no news at all."
"Go quickly!!!"
The roaring Lady Catherine was like an angry lioness. She could not allow such a thing to happen, and Humphrey also called her a lewd queen in his letter, which made her extremely angry.
"Someone, go to the damn Humphrey's house and arrest everyone in his family."
But the soldiers who were sent missed the opportunity. The emissary sent out on the day Humphrey arrived in Liverpool secretly arranged for the important people in the family to escape, just a little more than a day before the soldiers who came to report back.
After learning about this, Catherine lost her temper in the Council of Queens again. Her style of governing was to get angry and curse, express forcefully, and throw all subsequent problems to other members of the Council of Queens.
The ministers of the Royal Council were also distressed. Now the Ming army had completed the landing and captured the city. Although it was not stable enough, Humphrey turned to the Ming army and started an uprising to eliminate the treacherous ministers and monsters around the king.
back.
Lady Catherine has offended many people in recent years. Duke John's successive defeats in France in the past two years have reduced the trust of the people a lot. However, the relationship between Duke John and Lady Catherine has not been dealt with. Pressure from many aspects has come together, and the Royal Council
There is nothing that can be done.
"Please turn the army around and besiege Liverpool. A hundred thousand troops are pressing down on the border. I don't believe that the Ming army and the rebels in Liverpool can hold on." Lady Catherine said angrily.
Everyone was surprised. Do you know how much materials, supplies, and losses were caused by the siege of a hundred thousand troops? What to do with the losses? The national finances are tight, and the battle will not be finished in one day. Unless all the French troops are brought back, Ingelland can now
It cannot support a two-front battle across the sea.
If you have no money, who will fight the war for you? Can a big brother who has no money still be considered a big brother?
Lady Catherine doesn't care about these things, you just have to call me.
Ying Gelan's army was mobilized again. Mobilizing the army back and forth like this was a waste of money and people, but Lady Catherine did not know how to appease the army and sympathize with the officers. She believed that it was natural for these soldiers to fight and die for the royal family.
On the other hand, in Liverpool, Humphrey hosted a banquet for guests and invited his friends. When they came, they were one of his own, and they worked together to do justice to God. We were all brothers, drinking heavily and eating meat from big bowls.
