Chapter two hundred and twenty second offer

The Queen made an inevitable concession to the war, but this concession was not to the Ming Dynasty, but to the Scottish neighbors in the north.

Count Robert Dudley was defeated and gathered the remaining soldiers and returned to London. The palace immediately launched the backup plan.

That is, to repair Scotland, which has deteriorated due to the Edinburgh Treaty, and to unite the two countries to fight against powerful enemies.

The way to fix the relationship is to release the imprisoned controversial controversial England throne, Mary Stuart, and according to Elizabeth's wishes, "consider" selecting Mary Stuart's son, James, the ninth king of Scotland, as the heir to the throne a hundred years later.

Promoted the unity of Britain and the Soviet Union.

Submitted with this proposal, the Queen left dangerous London under the protection of the Count in the name of hunting and headed to the north.

London is the capital of England, which houses treasures that have been preserved for hundreds of years since the establishment of the royal family, and countless town heritages.

The person who submitted these two internal and external strategies was the queen's personal aide, Yang Gao from the Ming Dynasty.

In view of his use of the ancient Chinese story of his lips and teeth to convince the British court nobles, he was appointed as a diplomat by the queen and went to the north to persuade the Scottish nobles.

Although these two strategies are difficult to accept for England at present, they are indeed the easiest and most productive plans.

England was not without troops, but the troops were in the north, and the lack of finance could not summon a large army to move south to resist the Ming army; as for the controversial British throne, Mary Stuart, was not that worrying.

Only England can exist can the King of England exist. If England is gone, what is the so-called throne of England?

In other words, as long as England still exists, even if the Queen has many controversies in the throne, it will be much better than today.

There is no need to say much about the plan to persuade the Queen to leave the city. London City has indestructible city defense and a large number of town guards, and is willing to participate in the recruitment of citizens who guard the city.

But this cannot guarantee that the Ming army will not break through the city. If the queen is still here, once she is besieged, the Ming army will not leave any remaining strength to siege the city. Even if the trapped beasts still fight, the queen has no descendants and lacks heirs to the throne. If the city is destroyed, the country will be destroyed.

The Queen stayed in London, and the country was in crisis, and London was also in crisis.

In times of crisis, there is a fear of right and wrong, just like the story of Chong'er born outside and Shen's death inside. If the queen goes north, there will be heavy troops in London, and the Ming army will not be able to capture it for a long time. We must be wary of the army from the north and will not stay for a long time.

People repeatedly speculated about the possible problems that Yang Gao made, but in the end they did not find any problems - they trusted London's city defense very much and did think that Yang Gao's analysis was correct.

With a history of reinforcement of 1,200 years, London, with seven main city gates, several water gates, three bridge gates, three levels of barriers, two bridge gates, and one fort gate, could not be breached from the outside by the army.

Once the siege begins, the biggest concern is the people with dissent intent in the city, which will truly affect the queen's safety.

When the Queen embarked on the 'North Hunting', the city of London was left by the Queen's cousin, the second Baron Howard, and the Minister of Palace Affairs Charles Howard, as the Supreme Military Chief.

Baron Charles Howard made a grand ceremony to give the queen, trying to act like he was really like the queen was hunting in the north.

On the other hand, he had 1,200 city guards and 3,000 suburban noble guards who had experienced war. At the same time, he also used the treasury property obtained from the sale of public debts in the palace to recruit 13,000 recruits willing to participate in the conscripts defending the capital.

They rushed to build equipment to guard the city, hoarded a lot of food, moved all the people outside the city into the city, and blocked all the wells outside the city with stones.

The situation must use all means to block the Ming army's offensive and drag Ying Ming until he has no ammunition and food, and he has no choice but to retreat.

This is not the first time Baron Charles Howard has experienced war. Sixteen years ago, he led his army north to suppress the rebellious Catholic nobles.

After obtaining a lot of information about the Ming army from Count Robert Dudley, he was very sure of defending London.

On March 9, a small flag and a red hat appeared in the western suburbs of London that scared England.

The two countries have different cultures and are speechless. The British army, which have been defeated repeatedly in previous wars, did not have the opportunity to get intelligence from the prisoners. Most of the information comes from actual combat observations and verbal narrations of the fugitive nobles, which is inevitable to be distorted.

The Little Flag and Red Hat are both referring to the Beiyang Flag Army. To be precise, they refer to the flag army's helmets and guns.

The former is a small flag officer, and the latter is an ordinary Beiyang cavalry, but it is not so carefully divided in the eyes of the British army. They often regard the small flag as a nobleman, and the flag army with red cotton armor and red iron helmets and black necklaces as the synonym for the elite scouts of the Ming army.

Once the red hat appears in people's sight, it often means that the land will soon welcome the main force of the Ming army.

In addition to these two types of people, there are also preachers called Blue Hats, but they don’t know what these blue armor and blue helmets do. They only know that there must be blue Hats in the Ming cavalry that first broke out in battle and are regarded as the deputy of the nobles.

But there were veterans who were lucky enough to withdraw from Winchester and they tried to gather a small flag with muskets during the battle, but they knocked down the blue hat beside him.

This led to the fierce charges of dozens of Red Hats who had already steadily advanced the dense wall formation, and then the entire company they trained in accordance with the Western Military Formation was destroyed.

It is suspected that these blue hats may hold more important responsibilities in the army, which is a feature that can be exploited. For this reason, Charles Howard ordered the city's musketeers not to concentrate on attacking the blue hat when the order is not accepted.

Like the bad names of Red Hat and Blue Hat, they still don’t know what the full name of the Ming army’s commander in England was. Ying Ming was unanimously called Ying Daming in the English court documents.

They believe that Ying is the name of Yingming, while Ming is the name of the country.

Similarly, Xiao Mo, the leader of the Third Muye Camp, was called Mo Daming by the Londoners; Wei Si, a pimp who was widely praised by English prostitutes, was called Wei Ming IV.

The facts are indeed similar to the information that Charles Howard knew. Soon a neat military formation appeared outside the suburbs of London, and Blue Hats were assigned to run to the city to dance, dance, and scold while dancing.

Who is Charles Howard? He knows his responsibilities and knows that the Ming general Ying Daming wanted to anger him and lead him out of the city to fight... Robert Dudd's army trained by Spanish methods lost. Can Charles win in the field?

He sent someone to scold him in the city. The two sides used the city wall to 'You fucking down', 'You have the habit of coming in' and 'You're going to curse for an hour, and the Ming army calmed down.

As soon as the Ming army calmed down, Charles Howard was also stunned.

General Ying Daming did not set up a camp, but led his troops around the western suburbs of London, walked... and walked north.

That was the direction Queen Elizabeth left London.
