Chapter 390: There is no hope, farewell!

While Louis XVI, Napoleon, Pierre and others were plotting against England and George III, there was a cloud of sadness in the palace where George III was.

Ever since George III suddenly fell ill and announced that he would fight France to the end for Madam Deficit, the entire English stock market collapsed instantly like an old ED, without even giving him a chance to find an old Chinese doctor.

Because the current market environment in England is similar to the market environment in France, and even somewhat inferior to the market environment in France - France can more or less develop some secondary markets similar to copycat porcelain based on primary raw materials, while England's so-called

Made in English was completely destroyed by Made in Ming Dynasty and Made in France, and could only be reduced to the most basic raw material market.

The result of being reduced to a raw material market is that most of England's economic activities depend on the export of raw materials. The largest importer of raw materials is the Ming Empire, and the second largest importer of raw materials is France.

Now, the King of England, His Majesty the famous Mad King George III, is fighting to the death with France over a deficit wife, which also means that England's raw material exports will be blocked by France.

What caused even more headaches for the English court was that George III had already renamed his country the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland" and gave up the title of "King of France" claimed by every British monarch since Edward III.

Giving up the title of "King of France" is not very fatal, but George III did not accept the title of "Emperor of Britain and Hanover", which is very fatal.

Failure to accept the title of emperor meant that George III recognized that he was only the king of the British Isles, which meant that George III had given up the territories given to Philip II by John.

Now, George III wants to fight with France to the end because of Mrs. Deficit. This behavior itself is politically incorrect in legal terms.

Incorrect governance means that except for the Habsburg family and its allies, other European countries will not support England and George III's declaration of war against France.

Of course, England's Prime Minister Peter doesn't really care whether the countries in Europe support England. After all, England is one of the five good people in the Little Po Guo, and is backed by the Ming Empire. He really doesn't need to care about the little chicks in Europe.

vision.

The problem is that George III's decision will completely offend the Ming Empire.

Therefore, as long as France is willing to pay a certain price, I am afraid that the Ming Empire will also stop importing raw materials from England.

If we think about the worst...if the Ming Empire and France join forces to blockade England, how will England, which only has the British Isles in hand, face the blockade?

British East India Company?

The British East India Company itself has many privileges, and many times it does not fully obey the orders of the English court - when the choice of dying with the English court or being a dog to the Ming Dynasty is placed in front of the British East India Company, the British East India Company

How would the East India Company choose?

Copper mines in Sri Lanka?

When he thought of the copper mines in Sri Lanka, England's Prime Minister Pitt couldn't help but feel despair.

Sri Lanka is too close to the Ming Dynasty and too far from England.

Even without considering the risk of rebellion by the British East India Company at any time, Pitt did not believe that England could defend the Sri Lankan copper mines - as long as the Ming emperor was willing, the Ming army could attack from East India or any other naval base at any time.

The English army in Sri Lanka launched an attack, and the English army could only end up being crushed.

Peter knew even more clearly in his heart that the collapse of England's stock market was actually just the beginning. The next thing that would completely collapse would be England's economy, the living standards of England's civilians, and England's military.

Even the whole of England.

The only way to restore this decadent situation was to quickly cure George III, who was in a state of illness, and at the same time send a diplomatic note to Ming Dynasty to explain the causes and consequences of all these misunderstandings.

Then, Peter became even more desperate.

It is very simple to send a diplomatic note to Ming Dynasty in the name of the Prime Minister of England, but what happens after sending the diplomatic note?

Can England gain the Ming Emperor's forgiveness?

Will France stop fighting with England to the end because of England's diplomatic note?

More importantly, can the madness of Mad King George III be cured? Can he wake up and withdraw his absurd and fatal orders?

The hurried footsteps and reports of the attendants interrupted Peter, who was thinking about these messy questions: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, His Majesty the King has been rescued now, but..."

Looking at the hesitant expression on the attendant's face, Peter's face couldn't help but become even more ugly, and asked: "But what? How is His Majesty the King doing now?"

The attendant replied with a troubled face: "His Majesty the King kept mumbling to himself, foaming at the mouth, and his eyes were bloodshot and swollen, looking like two purple grapes. The doctor from the Ming Dynasty said..."

Peter's face suddenly became even more ugly, and he shouted and asked: "What did the doctor from the Ming Dynasty say?"

The attendant cautiously replied: "Doctors from the Ming Dynasty said that His Majesty's brain disease has penetrated deep into the bone marrow. He is extremely lucky to be alive. There is no possibility of cure."

Hearing this, Peter's heart suddenly became heavier.

The attendant looked at the uncertain look on Peter's face and cautiously added: "However, the good news is that the doctors at the Royal Hospital of England believe that His Majesty the King may still be cured."

Peter sneered and asked: "What kind of treatment plan did those damn royal doctors propose? Is it to tie up His Majesty the King and reprimand or intimidate? Or is it to smear some messy things on His Majesty the King's body?"

"

The attendant was stunned for a moment, and then gave a definite answer: "Dr. Francis Willis said that His Majesty the King's legs should be tied to the bed, and then tied around his body with a wide cloth belt."

"If His Majesty the King still refuses to eat or is noisy, use a special chair to restrict His Majesty's movements, and treat His Majesty the King through scolding, intimidation, and wearing a tight corset."

"And Dr. Warren, who is going to apply a poisonous insect and mustard dressing all over the king's body, saying that the painful blisters it will cause will draw out the 'bad fluid' from the king's body."

After listening to the attendant's description, Peter simply sat back on the chair and murmured: "Crazy, crazy, all crazy - His Majesty the King is crazy, and these damn doctors are also crazy!

"

After coming back to his senses, Peter hurriedly ordered the attendants: "Quickly, let the doctors of the Ming Dynasty take full responsibility for the treatment of His Majesty the King, and keep those damn quack doctors away from His Majesty the King!"

After the attendants left in a hurry, Peter quickly got up from his chair and hurried to the palace where the Queen of England, Duchess Sophie Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, was staying.

Queen Sophie Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Queen of England, was not surprised by Peter's arrival.

In fact, after discovering that George III was insane, Queen Charlotte had entrusted all the government affairs of England to Pitt and proposed that George III's eldest son and legal heir, George, Prince of Wales, serve as regent.

Only after George, Prince of Wales, serves as regent, can he recall the assembled English troops in the name of the regent, and can also issue diplomatic notes to the Ming Dynasty and France in the name of the regent. The name of the regent is obviously better than that of Peter, the Prime Minister of England.

The name is more useful.

However, the crux of the matter is that the Prince of Wales cannot immediately take over as regent.

Because if the Prince of Wales wants to be regent, he must be nominated by the Congress and pass the debate. If he wants to convene the Congress and pass the proposal, the mad King George III, who has gone crazy, must deliver a speech from the throne and declare the correctness of the Congress. Otherwise, the Congress

Its acceptability will also become a big question.

According to past practice, once the King of England fails to attend the opening ceremony of Parliament, he can appoint a commissioner to act on his behalf through the "Edict", and the relevant "Edict" must be stamped with the national seal to have legal effect - responsible for the custody of the national seal

The chancellor must ask for instructions from George III before he can affix the national seal to the "Edict", otherwise it will be an illegal act.

So, the question went round and round, and after going around for eighteen times, it returned to the question of whether Mad King George III could wake up.

"It is impossible for His Majesty the King to regain consciousness."

Peter said to Queen Charlotte with a heavy face: "The doctor from Ming Dynasty has given the final diagnosis."

"Although the royal doctors in England still firmly believe that His Majesty the King can still wake up, I have to remind you that those quack doctors are not worthy of belief at all."

Queen Charlotte was a little confused: "Why are doctors from England not worthy of trust, but doctors from the Ming Dynasty? Although the Ming Dynasty is very powerful, this is a matter of medical skills. They..."

Peter interrupted Queen Charlotte's words unceremoniously: "I must remind you that His Majesty the Happy King Charles II was treated by the Twelve Royal Physicians using six methods for five days, and then died in pain."

"There is also Watson, the leader of the stupid thief Eagle family. He was also treated to death by those damn quack doctors using bloodletting."

"Those damn quacks, they only do bloodletting, amputate limbs, pour messy things into the intestines, and smear those messy things on the patient's body."

"and……"

Peter paused for a moment, then said with a heavy face: "Compared to whether His Majesty the King can cure the disease, I think what is more important for us now is how to stop the troops who only obey the King's orders - to completely introduce the Ming Dynasty

The military system, this may be the most wrong decision His Majesty the King has made!"

After hearing what Prime Minister Pitt said, Queen Charlotte couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

The military system that Pitt mentioned was completely introduced into the Ming Dynasty was actually the incomplete military system introduced by George III when he was deceived by Zhu Jinsong, that is, the army must completely obey the orders of the emperor or king.

Zhu Jinsong did not tell George III that there is nothing wrong with the army should obey the orders of the emperor or king, but whether to launch a war cannot be entirely decided by the emperor or king - at least, the cabinet, the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Office are involved

and the right to make suggestions.

Because of the lack of this last precondition, the military system introduced to England by George III became one in which only the orders of the emperor or king were followed.

This also means that the current English army will only obey the orders of George III. Even if George III issued orders against France when he was insane, the English army will still carry out the orders honestly, even if

Queen Charlotte was unable to recall these troops.

Queen Charlotte couldn't help but panic at the thought of having a full-scale war with France, and quickly asked: "What does the Congress say? Can George be allowed to serve as regent first?"

Peter shook his head helplessly and said: "I need your authorization to use legal assumptions to advise the justice responsible for entrusting the Great Seal, and suggest that he cover the Great Seal on his own without consulting His Majesty the King.

"Zhigao".

"Only in this way can Parliament resume its session without His Majesty the King's first speech and debate the need for a regent."

"In addition, we should also introduce the Regency Bill to prevent similar situations from happening again in the future."

Queen Charlotte nodded repeatedly and said: "Then do as you say. I will communicate with Prince George of Wales, and I will leave it to you to communicate with Congress and the Chancellor who holds the Great Seal?"

Peter shook his head and said: "I would further recommend that you go and see His Majesty the King - what if His Majesty wakes up? If His Majesty can wake up, he will confirm that the use of the Great Seal and the appointment of the Commissioner are legal and valid actions.

"

Queen Charlotte did not object to Pitt's proposal.

In fact, Queen Charlotte also hopes that George III can wake up.

Unfortunately, when Queen Charlotte hurried to Qiu, she found George III talking to himself in front of an oak tree in the nursing home.

No, talking to himself is not an appropriate way to describe George III's behavior.

A more appropriate statement is that George III was talking to the oak tree - in George III's eyes, he was talking to the King of Prussia, and the two sides were discussing important matters about forming an alliance against France.

When George, Prince of Wales, who came with Queen Charlotte, tried to dissuade George III, George III suddenly fell into a rage, grabbed little George's head and tried to hit it against a tree.
