Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 390 There is no help, farewell!

When Louis XVI, Napoleon, Pierre and others were calculating England and George III, the palace where George III was in was full of gloom.

Since George III suddenly fell ill and announced that he would fight to the death with France for Mrs. Deficit, the stock market in England collapsed instantly like an old ED for many years, and he didn't even give 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 still develop some secondary markets such as counterfeit porcelain on top of 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, and 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, will fight to the death with France for a deficit lady, which also means that England's raw material exports will be blocked by France.

What makes the English court even more troublesome is that George III has set the country name as the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland", and has given up the title of "King of France" claimed by successive British monarchs since Edward III—— Abandoning 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.

Not accepting the title of emperor means that George III himself admits that he is only the king of the British Isles, which means that George III has given up the territories that John gave to Philip II.

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

Incorrect politics means that apart from the Habsburgs and their allies, other European countries will not support England and George III in declaring war on France.

Of course, the Prime Minister of England, Pete, doesn't really care about whether the country of Europa supports England. After all, England is one of the five benevolent people who rely on the Ming Empire. 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 you think about it a bit worse... In case the Ming Empire and France join forces to block England, how will England, which only has the British Isles in its hands, 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. How would the East India Company choose?

Copper mines in Sri Lanka?
Thinking of the copper mines in Sri Lanka, England's Prime Minister Peter Pitt couldn't help but feel despair.

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

Even without considering the risk of the British East India Company's mutiny at any time, Pete does not think that England can defend the Sri Lankan copper mines - as long as the Emperor of Ming is willing, Ming's army can attack from the 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.

Pete knew better in his heart that the collapse of the English stock market was actually just the beginning, and the next thing that would completely collapse would be the economy of England, the standard of living of civilians in England, and the army of England.

and even the whole of England.

And the only way to restore this once-declining situation is to quickly cure George III, who is in a state of illness, and at the same time send a diplomatic note to Daming, explaining the causes and consequences of all these misunderstandings.

Then Pete became even more desperate.

It is very simple to send a diplomatic note to Daming in the name of the Prime Minister of England, but what happens after the diplomatic note is issued?
Can England obtain the understanding of the Ming Emperor?
Will France stop fighting with England because of England's diplomatic note?

More importantly, can the madness of His Majesty the Mad King George III be cured? Can he wake up and take back his ridiculous and deadly orders?

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

Seeing the hesitant expression on the attendant's face, Pete couldn't help but become even more ugly, and asked, "But what? How is His Majesty the King?"

The attendant replied with a full face of confusion: "His Majesty the King is muttering non-stop, with white foam coming out of his mouth, his eyes are bloodshot and swollen, they look like two purple grapes, the doctor of Ming Kingdom said..."

Pete's complexion suddenly became even uglier, and he asked repeatedly: "What did the doctor from the Ming Dynasty say?"

The attendant replied cautiously: "The doctors of the Ming Dynasty said that His Majesty's brain disease has penetrated into the bone marrow. It is a great fortune to be able to survive. There is no possibility of cure."

Hearing this, Pete's heart suddenly became heavier.

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

Pete sneered, and asked: "What kind of treatment plan did those damn imperial doctors propose? Is it to tie up His Majesty the King to reprimand and threaten him? Or to smear some messy things on His Majesty's body? "

The attendant was stunned for a moment, and then gave an affirmative answer: "Doctor Francis Willis said that His Majesty'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 by reprimanding, intimidating, and wearing a tight straitjacket."

"And Dr. Warren, who was to smear a vermin and mustard dressing all over the King, saying that the resulting blisters were painful and would draw the 'bad fluid' out of the King."

After listening to the attendant's description, Pete simply sat back on the chair and muttered, "Crazy, crazy, all crazy——His Majesty the King is crazy, and these damned doctors are also crazy! "

After regaining his senses, Pete hurriedly ordered to the attendants: "Quickly, inform the doctors, let the doctors of the Ming Dynasty take full responsibility for the treatment of His Majesty the King, and let those damn quack doctors stay 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 of England, Duchess Sophie Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was not surprised by Pitt's arrival.

In fact, after discovering that George III was suffering from madness, Queen Charlotte had already entrusted the entire government affairs of England to Pitt, and proposed that George III's eldest son and legal heir, George, Prince of Wales, be the regent.

Only after George, Prince of Wales became regent, could he recall the English army that had begun to assemble in the name of the regent, and he could also issue diplomatic notes to the Ming Dynasty and France in the name of the regent. The name is more useful.

However, the crux of the problem is that the Prince of Wales cannot immediately regent.

Because the Prince of Wales wants to be regent, he must be nominated by Parliament and pass a debate, and if he wants to convene Parliament and pass a proposal, the mad King George III, who has gone mad, must deliver a speech from the throne and declare the correctness of Congress, otherwise Congress Recognition will also be a big question.

According to past practice, once the King of England fails to attend the opening ceremony of the Parliament, he can appoint a commissioner to act on his behalf through the "Patent", and the relevant "Patent" must be affixed with the national seal before it has legal effect-responsible for the trusteeship of the national seal The chief justice must ask George III to affix the national seal to the "Patent", otherwise it is an illegal act.

Therefore, the question went around and around, and after going around for eighteen times, it returned to whether the mad king George III could wake up or not.

"His Majesty the King will never wake up again."

Pete said to Queen Charlotte with a heavy face: "The doctor from the 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 worth trusting at all."

Queen Charlotte didn't understand: "Why are doctors in England not trustworthy, but doctors in Ming Dynasty are trustworthy? Although Ming Dynasty is very powerful, it's a matter of medical skills. They..."

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

"There is also Watsonton, the leader of the Silly Eagle family. He was also treated to death by those damn quack doctors with bloodletting."

"Those damned quack doctors, they only do bloodletting, amputate limbs, pour messy things into their intestines, and smear those messy things on patients."

"and……"

Pete paused for a moment, and then said with a heavy face: "Compared to whether His Majesty the King can be cured, I think we are more important now how to stop those troops who only know how to obey the King's orders - completely introduce Ming Kingdom This may be the worst decision His Majesty has ever made!"

After hearing what Prime Minister Peter said, Queen Charlotte couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

What Pete said about completely introducing the military system of the Ming Dynasty is actually the incomplete military system introduced by George III when he was limped by Zhu Jinsong, that is, the army must fully obey the orders of the emperor or the king.

Zhu Jinsong did not tell George III that there is nothing wrong with the army obeying the orders of the emperor or the king, but it is not entirely up to the emperor or the king to decide whether to launch a war. and the right to advise.

Because of the lack of the last precondition, the military system introduced to England by George III has become only the order of the emperor or king.

This also means that the current English army will only obey the orders of George III. Even if George III issued an order against France during the onset of madness, the English army will still carry it out honestly. Queen Charlotte has no way to recall these troops.

Thinking of opening a full-scale relationship with France, Queen Charlotte couldn't help feeling a little flustered, and quickly asked: "What does the Congress say? Can you let little George take the regent first?"

Pete shook his head helplessly, and said: "I need your authorization to advise the justice in charge of the custody of the national seal through legal assumptions, suggesting that he affix the national seal to the "Her Majesty the King" without asking for instructions. Patent "."

"It is only then that Parliament can resume without His Majesty the King's address first, and debate the need for a Regent."

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

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

Pete shook his head and said, "I suggest 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.

It is a pity that when Queen Charlotte hurried to the hill, she found George III talking to an oak tree in the sanatorium.

No, soliloquy is not an appropriate description of George III's behavior.

It is more appropriate to say that George III was talking to the oak tree—in the eyes of George III, he was talking to the king of Prussia, and the two sides were discussing the important matter of 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, grabbing George's head and trying to hit a tree.

After the attendants rescued George Jr., Prince of Wales, the Ming doctor who stood aside couldn't help but shook his head, and said to Queen Charlotte, "His Majesty's illness has penetrated deep into the marrow of his bones. Sorry, there is nothing I can do. Please leave."
