Duke Humphrey now set out to disband Ingeland's original army, but this was not an easy task. Did all Ingeland's soldiers surrender?
Rebellions broke out from time to time in the past two days, which gave Humphrey a headache.
Duke Humphrey held a new royal council, but the young king did not participate in the royal council. The ministers who participated did not even know where the young king was.
"There have been several riots in London recently, which made His Royal Highness the King of the Sea very unhappy. My top priority is to stabilize the situation first."
A group of people internally sneered at Humphrey's lackey style, but those who could sit here were all extraordinary people.
Duke Humphrey glanced around and looked at the silent expressions of everyone. He did not talk about this matter directly, but started to talk about other things.
"His Royal Highness the Sea King has given me the right to trade with the Ming Dynasty, and some of the basic manufacturing industries of the Ming Dynasty will be moved to Yinggelan. Aaron, I hope to put the garment factory in your name."
Humphrey's words surprised everyone. The young official named Aaron didn't understand what happened and looked at Duke Humphrey.
"Your Majesty the Duke, my family does not have a clothing business." Aaron replied immediately.
Duke Humphrey smiled slightly and said: "With my efforts, I have reached an agreement with His Royal Highness the Sea King of the Ming Dynasty. As long as the merchants of the Ming Dynasty set up a factory in Yinggelan, this factory will definitely be with a certain noble of our Yinggelan."
Linked together, you can own 20 percent of the shares and annual dividends."
"Is this true?"
Aaron's eyes shone, this is not equivalent to giving money in vain.
With Humphrey's nod, everyone understood that this was true.
Enough benefits have been given to the upper management of Yinggelan. These people will stabilize the situation for you, but what they have given is just some profits from Yinggelan's local factories. Based on the amount of compensation Yinggelan needs to pay to Daming first, and then
When I came down, Yinggelan was working for Ming Dynasty.
If the nobles' money goes into their pockets, can they still be allowed to take it out?
This kind of gold-dollar transaction is the most straightforward and most effective. If you increase your friends based on money, you will reduce your enemies.
Obviously after Humphrey mentioned this plan, everyone's attitude immediately changed. The discussion became much more lively, and everyone present took part in it.
After you have arranged your interests, you have to arrange your business. It is not okay to take money and do nothing.
"Everyone in the Royal Council, Yinggelan is in a difficult time now. The Demon Queen has made a mess of Yinggelan. Nowadays, everything is in ruins. We should invest in the construction of Yinggelan. The king is still here.
Our Yinggelan will survive and join the Western Federation. Yinggelan will have a more glorious tomorrow." Humphrey read out his manuscript with high spirits.
"Recently, there have been frequent riots, and the Sea King of the Ming Dynasty was accused of being an invader. Such a trend is not good. His Highness the Sea King helped us defeat the Demon Queen, but the king is still there, the Royal Council is still there, and His Highness the Sea King has not massacred civilians. We should arrest
I will take this opportunity to take Ingeland to a higher level, so I plan to start reforming the army from now on."
As soon as they heard about the reform of the army, everyone's expressions became serious again. Yinggelan, who had lost his army, was like a lamb to be slaughtered.
But Yinggelan, who now has an army, is still powerless to fight back in front of the Ming army.
"The reform of the army is not a complete dismantling of the army, but a reorganization and dismantling. We will jointly form a Ming Dynasty Royal Garrison Force in England with the Ming Dynasty Royal Army."
"Joined formation?" The children who had many questions asked the question keenly.
"Yes, Yinggelan's original army will be reorganized into the Yinggelan Guard. The navy team and more than half of the army team will be completely abolished. The remaining troops will be mainly responsible for the security of various cities and will be reorganized into the guard force, and some will be added to the army.
The Ming Royal Army Garrison in Yinggelan under the Ming Royal Army became the real permanent army in Yinggelan, referred to as the Ming Royal Garrison in England."
"The Ming Dynasty Royal Garrison in the UK will select young people who are qualified in age, health and mental health to become reserve members every day. After a period of training, they can officially become members of the Ming Dynasty Royal Garrison in the UK, and His Highness the Sea King has promised to
Every year, the proportion of Yinggelan people in the Ming Dynasty's imperial garrison in Britain will be slowly increased, until finally this team will completely become a team of Yinggelan people."
It's just that Zhu Zhanzhen did not promise how many years later this relationship would end. Instead, due to various interests involved, Ying Gelan's army would be completely under the control of the Ming Dynasty.
To boil a frog in warm water, first stabilize the current Yinggelan people, and the future Yinggelan people will adapt to the normal rule of the Ming Dynasty army.
Then Humphrey said: "In two days, the Ming Royal Garrison will be formally established. Our king will become the marshal of the Ming Royal Garrison. At the same time, the Ming Royal Garrison will begin to attack France."
Speaking of this, Humphrey slapped the table, his eyes full of grief and anger, and his voice was sonorous and powerful: "Damn John, the damn French, they dared to invade our property when Ingeland was in a mess by the Demon Queen.
Land, we Yinggelan cannot allow them to act so despicably."
"Furthermore, the Prince of France is so shameless that he actually wants to deny the treaty signed by King Ingeland and the King of France, and deny our king's right to inherit the throne of France. He is simply an unjust and rude person. We will follow His Highness the King of the Sea to fight against Ingeland."
Lan, and His Highness the Sea King has promised that as long as France is conquered, the British and French empires will be established, and our king will also become the king of France, and they will also belong to the Western Federation."
Everyone was shocked after hearing this. Yinggelan had been thinking about the idea of the British and French empire for a long time. The war had been fought for nearly a hundred years for this purpose. When the old king was here, there was a chance. After the old king died, Yinggelan
The fight became serious, and they unexpectedly broke out of the Ming Empire halfway.
I thought there was no chance, but after the fall of Yinggelan, the King of the Ming Dynasty said that he would help Yinggelan establish the British and French empire, and this opportunity came again.
Humphrey said with a smile: "Sea King is an approachable person. He also said that this attack on France must rely on the power of our Ingeland. Of course, if it succeeds, he will be rewarded according to his merits. Everyone,
This is a great opportunity.”
Someone immediately asked: "Duke Humphrey, I don't know when His Royal Highness the Sea King plans to attack France. I have long been unhappy with the group of people on the other side of the strait, especially the Duke of Burgundy. He is repetitive and has no principles in doing things."
, he was colluding with Duke John before, and he actually came to interfere in the good red wine market of Ingeland. Duke Humphrey, I applied to serve as the vanguard for His Royal Highness the Sea King to fight against the Duke of Burgundy. "
This is changing very quickly. If he had not had the opportunity to come to the Imperial Council before, only those who strongly resisted the Ming Dynasty would be abolished or simply disappeared, so neutral factions like him would have the opportunity to come forward.
It’s all about meritorious deeds, not meritorious deeds for whom, and the king is still there, the Imperial Council is still there, although there is an additional Ming Empire above the head, but in general it can be justified, and joining the Western Federation in the future may not be a bad thing.
They all began to make plans on how to counterattack France.
At the same time, a large number of merchants from the Ming Dynasty crossed the sea and came to the land of Yinggelan today. Naturally, among them were several businessmen who had been promoted to become members, because they had to come in person when Zhu Zhanchen summoned them.
Zhu Zhanzhen unfolded the map of Yinggelan, and then asked them to allocate how to develop Yinggelan's economy.
There was a new place and a large number of new customers to develop. Naturally, these people were very happy about it and immediately got into work.
Generally speaking, after such a war, the turmoil will last for a long time, let alone when a foreign nation takes power, but the turmoil in Yinggelan
It calmed down extremely quickly.
Because Zhu Zhanzhen nominally returned political power to Ying Gelan and became the person who controlled the power behind the scenes, Ying Gelan's government theoretically did not have to change many people, and the aristocracy was not liquidated. Instead, they could still
Enjoy the privileges they should have.
And on this basis, cooperate with them based on interests, so that they have something to do, transform sharply antagonistic and contradictory positions into cooperative positions, and turn enemies into partners.
Once this group of people is stabilized, it will be difficult for the people below to accumulate enough strength to pose a real threat to Ming's rule.
Zhu Zhanzhen saw more clearly than them. The court without military power was just an institution to deal with things. He was not interested in how to rule Yinggelan or how to plan the development of Yinggelan. What he needed was stability and slowness.
Slowly transform the Yinggelan people into people who recognize Ming culture from the bottom of their hearts.
Therefore, in the army, in the future in the academy system, and in the government system, a promotion mechanism will be built. When they continue to work hard to be promoted, they will be qualified to become Ming people, so that subconsciously, the ultimate goal of all the efforts of the Yinggelan people will be
They are all linked to becoming a Ming Dynasty person, and gradually they will be proud of becoming a Ming Dynasty person.
Even when they speak English, they are proud to mix in a few Ming dialects.
Liang Shanbo and Juliet will finally come to reality.
While reforming the army, he was planning an offensive strategy against France.
With Joan of Arc's map of the French army, although it may not all match up now, the map of the French army will not be changed so easily, and it is basically the same.
Yang Feng said: "His Royal Highness, the northern coastal area of France is basically in the hands of the Duke of Burgundy. He will definitely concentrate his efforts on resisting. It is better for us to concentrate on advancing."
Fan Zhong had a different opinion: "Your Highness, Captain Yang, I think we can attack on both the north and south fronts at the same time, cross the strait and lead troops from England to attack the northern front of France, fight the Duke of Burgundy, and then send troops from the Mediterranean
If the southern front invades France, the defense of the southern French front is weak, but it can quickly invade the heart of France. When the time comes, France will be attacked from the north and the south, and it will be a turtle in the urn."
After hearing this, Yang Feng also agreed with Fan Zhong's suggestion, and the other generals were similar.
But after listening to the interpreter's explanation, Joan of Arc said: "No, no, we are going to rescue France, not to massacre French civilians. It is difficult for the army to sweep north and south without hurting civilians. Your Highness, the King of the Sea, please concentrate your efforts and the front line to get rid of the French civilians as soon as possible."
Go down to Paris and catch the Mad King, I will try my best to help you, but please don’t hurt innocent French civilians.”
The existence of Joan of Arc made the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty somewhat criticized, but due to Zhu Zhanzhen's face, they did not say it directly.
Their inner thought is that we can conquer France without this woman.
Zhu Zhanzhen glanced at Joan of Arc and then said to all the generals: "Let me ask you a question, what kind of army do you think is the most powerful army?"
"The master of hundreds of battles, the master of kings, the master of invincibility."
"I think differently from you. I think the strongest army is one that conquers the enemy without fighting. What do you think is the purpose of the war we are fighting now? Is it to capture England and France?"
Everyone was speechless.
"No, no, we have traveled thousands of miles to come here. We are fighting this war to finish all the wars in the next few decades and hundreds of years, so that future generations will be free from the pain of war and persecution.
Let all the people in this world see our Ming Dynasty's dragon flag and have to get out of the way, so I want to fight a huge battle, a battle that lasts forever, even if I fight other people fifty years later, eighty years later,
Hundreds of years later, people are still afraid of hearing about it."
Zhu Zhanyi's words made the soldiers look at Zhu Zhanyi with excitement.
Under normal circumstances, Zhu Zhanzhen knew that he was not very capable in fighting, so he did not participate in specific operations and only mentioned the goals and strategic policies of the war.
What Zhu Zhanzhen meant this time was that he would take charge of specific matters himself.
"Your Highness, how do you want to fight this battle?"
Zhu Zhanzhen looked at the map, pointed at the first place on the coast of northern France and said: "This place is close to Ingeland. According to our current news, the Duke of Burgundy has accumulated heavy troops here, intending to fight against our army.
If we want to fight for the whole world to see, we must attack them head-on, and our army will land from here to meet the French army head-on."
Zhu Zhanzhen's plan gave many soldiers a headache. According to military thinking, they already knew the opponent's troop deployment, so they should start from the flanks or weak points. How could anyone know the opponent's troop deployment and still fight head-on?
Although they are confident that they can defeat the French army, this will undoubtedly increase losses.
In order to reassure them, Zhu Zhanzhen said: "You don't have to worry about proving the battle. News has come from New Shanghai City. The steam carrier will pass through the Suez Canal in a few days and will bring the latest equipment to our army."
Then he said: "From here, I want the Ming army to reach the gates of Paris within seven days. Joan of Arc will be responsible for recruiting surrenders. Those who surrender will not be killed, but those who join our army will be rewarded."
The place Zhu Zhanzhen pointed to is called Normandy.
