The port of Edinburgh is almost empty. The reason why there are still a few people in the port, shaking the white flag to signal the fleet not to fire.

Jiang Haijun looked at the shaking white flag at the port, put down his telescope and said, "Marty, it seems that the barbarians can't help it."

Liu Wenbing sneered and said, "I didn't see it! My husband's telescope is broken! I send an order to continue shelling the port!"

Liu Wenbing's reason is very bad. How could the telescope produced by Shaofu to distribute to nobles and senior generals be broken just by saying that it was broken? However, Jiang Haijun and others nodded in agreement and signaled that their telescope was broken.

Then the white flag at the Edinburgh port was shaking in vain. The Suez Canal Fleet, which did not care at all, launched a shelling attack again.

Unlike the previous two shelling ports, this shelling basically had no results. It would be fine if the few people who flaunted the white flags were killed and the port was destroyed by the way, but it was not as fruitful as the previous two shellings.

Cromwell was not only confused about the act of bombarding the ports with disagreement, but also Charles I was also confused.

Compared to Cromwell, Charles I was simply inexplicable if he didn't even know the reason. Is it because of his own reasons or his subordinates?

When the British Empire suffered such a big loss in New England, it didn't take the initiative to find the situation. Now the Ming Empire actually sent troops to attack England?

It's just too much to deceive others!

But Charles I decided to hold back this tone.

It’s not okay if you can’t bear it. Compared to Cromwell, who has no ac numbers in his heart, Charles I’s heart is still the same as a mirror, and obviously he is still absent.

If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty's arms, I would have divided Cromwell's north and south, and the best result would be to be arrested by Cromwell's rebels and then forced to agree to their republic proposal.

The worst possibility is that one may become the first king to be executed by one's own subjects.

After forcing himself to calm down, Charlie I spoke: "Continue to send people to closely monitor the movements of the Navy fleet of the Ming Empire. Once they have the intention of peace talks, contact them immediately."

After all, Charles II was young and extremely hot. After hearing Charles I's words, he immediately snorted coldly and said, "Father, why should we continue to tolerate it?"

Even if the fleet of the Ming Empire is powerful, the Royal Navy of the British Empire may not be afraid of them! If we continue to tolerate it, today they shelled Sunderland and Edinburgh, where will they shell tomorrow?"

Charles I rubbed his forehead and said, "What should I do? Now declare war on the Ming Empire immediately? My son, I spoiled you before, and you don't know how terrible the Ming Empire is."

After saying that, Charles I turned his attention to Andrew Gest, the Minister of Administration next to him: "Gest, tell him how terrible the Ming Empire was!"

Gest bowed and replied with caressing his chest, turned to Charles II and said, "Your Highness, the number of troops in the Ming Empire is about two million, and this is only the lowest valuation. According to the information we have obtained, the Ming Empire can pull up an army of 20 million at any time.

Please note, Your Highness, this is still not to affect the stability of their country. If they do not care about all consequences, they can raise an army of about 30 to 50 million at any time.

Your Highness, can all the countries in Europe join together to organize an army of ten million? Obviously, this is impossible.

As for their navy, based on known information, they have three main fleets, countless small squadrons, and main warships, that is, they shelled out warships of about one hundred warships and countless supply warships.

Your Highness, the main warships in the entire Europe can crush them in terms of number, but in terms of actual combat effectiveness, it is estimated that the entire European fleet may not be able to withstand their attacks."

Charles II, who has always been well protected by Charles I, was a little confused.

Everything Charles II came into contact with since childhood was everything about Europe. There were only a few of the most powerful countries in Europe, and England was obviously among them.

As for the distant Ming Dynasty, it obviously did not exist in Charles II's world, or Charles II never took the initiative to understand the Ming Empire.

Looking at Charles II who was stunned, Charles I spoke: "Now do you know how terrible the Ming Empire is? Although I don't know why they suddenly shelled the port, there must be a reason.

What we can do now is not to recruit soldiers, nor to declare war on the Ming Empire. Instead, we first find ways to figure out the reason, find ways to calm their anger, and ensure the safety of the British Empire."

After saying that, Charles I continued: "Child, except for this shelling port, we have already had conflicts with the Ming Empire on the land of New England, and the consequences are obvious. No one who expeditioned to New England was able to come back alive.

Before that, we had conflicts with the Ming Empire on the land of Africa, and the result of the conflict was not much different from that of New England, so we gave up New England and Africa.

If we only suffer such a loss by ourselves, it can be said that it is our problem, then what about France? Do you really think it was caused by civil strife in their country that France gave up the land of New France?”

Charles I's heart was filled with endless sorrow.

If the ports of your country are bombarded and the people are bombarded and killed, what can you do? As a monarch, you cannot guarantee the safety of your subjects, but instead have to be wronged and seek everything. It is already a dereliction of duty!

However, all the problems are just as Gust said just now. The strength of the British Empire and the strength of the Ming Empire are not on the same level as that of the Ming Empire. They are not as strong as others. What else can I do except swallow my anger?

Just like France, the British Empire could barely fight with France, but what about the Ming Empire that could make France suffer?

Charles II, whose worldview was almost destroyed, was a little confused. He forced himself to calm down before murmured: "It's incredible, why does such a powerful country exist in the world?"

Charles I sighed and said, "Okay, don't worry about why, since this country already exists, what good will we do?

You go back first, have a good rest, and then go to learn about the Ming Empire. From all aspects, you must have a rough impression of the Ming Empire.

Child, I am old. The British Empire will sooner or later be handed over to you. You must remember that no matter what, don’t provoke the Ming Empire. Even if you suffer a huge grievance, it means that you still need to exist!"

Charlie II bowed and replied, then turned back to his room to rest. Was he wronged or a good thing? What is this theory?

...

Liu Wenbing looked at the empty dock in front of him and spat hatefully: "Damn, what are these damn barbarians thinking?"

Jiang Haijun was also a little confused. After he was confused, he was full of admiration. Regarding the skill of endurance, these barbarians in England were indeed powerful enough!

I have experienced many battle formations of all sizes, from the surrounding areas of the Ming Dynasty to the Nanyang, from Xinming Island to the African continent, Jiang and Haijun has never seen such a tolerant country!

Jiang Haijun, who had thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what to do, simply asked, "Marty, what should we do now?"

What to do? Ask me? What should I do?

Liu Wenbing, who was also extremely entangled, simply said: "Continue, in the next port, continue to shell them until these barbarians come out to discuss with us!"

Hearing Liu Wenbing's decisive words, Jiang Haijun said in great pain: "Marty, they seem to have already fired the white flag before?"

Liu Wenbing also remembered that the barbarians had already tapped the white flag to communicate with him, but he said that the telescope was broken, and then continued to shell the barbarians' port...

But Liu Wenbing didn't feel embarrassed at all, but said carelessly: "It's definitely a fire! I'll pass the order of this marquis, let's go to the next port to take a look! At worst, I'll spend a few more days to circle the entire barbarian country!"

Liu Wenbing's order was carried out. Regardless of whether anyone had fired a white flag, it was to shell the port, leaving behind a lot of blood and then continue to rush to the next port to shell again, until the fleet circled back to the port of South Cape Town.

There was not much difference between the South Cape Town Port and the Suez Squadron when they left and they were bombed like this bird. It was not a problem for a day or two to completely repair it, and the repair was not very meaningful. Who knows when the naval fleet of the Ming Empire's Empire will come back?

If you have to say that there is any difference, there are actually some. At least compared to the last time someone rushed out to fight the Suez Canal squadron, this time there was only one ship parked at the port and it was sailed.

What it means to take sails on the sea is very obvious, especially when facing an armed fleet, if the sails fall, basically means waiting for death!

Jiang Haijun was a little confused in the face of this situation and said to Liu Wenbing: "Mr. Marquis?"

Liu Wenbing pondered for a while before speaking: "Send someone to see what those barbarians want to do?"

Albin McCorley thought he was dead and when he was sent here by Cromwell, he had already told his family that he might not be able to go back, so that they would not be sad, and that he would probably return to the Lord's arms in advance.

But when McCalley was taken to the flagship where Liu Wenbing was located by a small boat, a nervous heart suddenly calmed down.

I am not afraid of any conditions proposed by the Ming Empire. I am just an envoy to pass on the message. No matter how difficult the conditions proposed by the Ming Empire are, it is up to Cromwell to decide.

Before the final negotiation results come out, I will probably be safe?

After bowing to Liu Wenbing among the crowd, McCorley said directly: "Great General, I wonder what has angered you and made you shell the port of England?"

Before Liu Wenbing could speak, Liu Xiaoyao said directly: "Change you a mistake first. This is the marquis of my Ming Empire, not a general. As for the general, it is the Lord Jiang Haijun next to him."

After smiling and bowing to apologize again, McCalley continued: "I am sorry for my recklessness again. I don't know if the Marquis can tell me the reason?"

Liu Wenbing smiled and nodded and said, "It's very simple. Have you arrested the three Ming people? Now, hand them over and bear all the expenses spent on sending troops to rescue them this time. This matter will be revealed."

McCorley said with a confused look on his face: "The Marquis means that these three people, Little Ellis, and the two merchants of the Ming Empire?"

Seeing Liu Wenbing nodding and admitting, a look of anger appeared on McCalley's face: "As far as I know, Ellis is a Dutch and is not a citizen of the Ming Empire at all?"

I only apologize on my behalf for our mistaken capture of the two businessmen in your country. I believe Your Excellency Cromwell also feels regretful.

I can promise you first that we can release the two businessmen in your country immediately.

As for Little Ellis, since he is not a commoner in your country, because he has not produced any evidence to prove his identity from the beginning, so I'm sorry, we can't release him!"

Liu Wenbing smiled and said, "Who said he had not proved it? Old Ellis had applied for his Ming Dynasty household registration, but he just didn't have time to tell him.

He is now a legal citizen of the Ming Empire, and the naval fleet of the Ming Empire is obliged to protect the safety of the Ming people overseas."

McCorley said angrily: "Sorry, Lord Marquis, he has not stated anything about the identity of the people of the Ming Dynasty before, so your statement does not hold true!"

Liu Wenbing's expression did not change at all, and he smiled and said, "So, please go back, you will continue to detain Little Ellis, and we will continue to shell your port.

If you feel dissatisfied, you can kill Little Ellis now, including the two Ming merchants, if you have the authority to make decisions.

However, this marquis would like to remind you in advance that if their lives are threatened, the naval fleet of the Ming Empire will not rule out using any means to find justice for them!"

McCorley said with a gloomy face: "Is your country declaring war on the British Empire?"

Liu Wenbing laughed and said, "If you think so, then I will tell you, yes, this is a declaration of war. From the moment you start detaining the people of Ming Dynasty, the war has begun!"
