Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 1017
At this time, the English fleet was far from the later British Empire fleet, and industrialization had not yet begun.

The strength of their navy is not even as strong as that of Portugal. Of course, they cannot compete with the powerful Deming fleet.

Zheng Chenggong didn't expect England to be so vulnerable, he shook his head, and then ordered the fleet to enter the port of Portsmouth, but before the Ming fleet entered the range of the Portsmouth shore artillery, they panicked and started shelling.

"Rumble..."

The fierce artillery bombardment on the coast of Portsmouth did not cause damage to the Ming fleet. The shells fell into the sea more than 100 meters away from the fleet, picking up huge waves.

Zheng Chenggong stood on the deck of the Hongwu iron-clad warship, holding a telescope in his hand to carefully observe the situation on the coast of Portsmouth. He basically saw the deployment of military forces on the coast of Portsmouth.

Looking coldly at the shells that landed not far in front of the Ming Fleet, Zheng Chenggong ordered:
"Fire the guns, and make Portsmouth Naval Port completely barren!"

"Yes"

"Rumble..."

……

With Zheng Chenggong's order, the artillery on the [-] warships and transport ships of the Ming Fleet launched fierce bombardment at the coastal artillery, military divisions, and civilian facilities on the coast of Portsmouth.

There were nearly a hundred artillery pieces on a battleship, and thousands of shells bombarded the coast of Portsmouth in a salvo of more than 80 battleships. The coast of Portsmouth suddenly burst into flames, and a series of explosions occurred immediately.

Now the warships of the Ming Dynasty fired flower bombs, and there were very few solid bullets. Round after round of bombing, England, the largest naval base, was quickly turned into a sea of ​​flames.

In half a day, the coast of Portsmouth was turned into scorched earth within two miles, and almost all the English navy and the army defending Portsmouth were sent to the west by the explosive bombs fired by the Ming warship.

"Login!"

With a wave of Zheng Chenggong's hand, the Ming Army and Marine Corps landed in Portsmouth, and the 2 Marine Corps and more than [-] Dragon Banner Army led by Li Dingguo launched a fierce attack on various parts of Portsmouth.

Although the English army also used firearms, under the heavy machine guns and light machine guns of the Ming army, they had no resistance at all. They occupied the entire territory of Portsmouth in one day and slaughtered the largest seaport city in England. clean.

In order to teach England a lesson, and also to harm China in another time and space, before Zheng Chenggong and Li Dingguo left, the Emperor Ming specifically hinted that they would slaughter several cities.

With hints from the emperor, Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong certainly would not show mercy. The water along the coast of Portsmouth was stained red with blood, and the streets and alleys were full of English corpses.

England and many European countries face each other across the sea, and most of the mainland is plain. This was their advantage, but after the Ming army landed, their advantage became a disadvantage.

The Ming battleship not only sank all the English warships it encountered, but also violently bombarded various coastal cities in England along the way. Since the army and marines were easier to carry heavy weapons, they smashed all the resistance they encountered along the way to pieces.

Before King Charles I of England could send envoys to negotiate, the two armies of Daming, sea and land, had advanced to the city of London and slaughtered five resisting cities in England.

Subsequently, the Ming Fleet also entered London, the capital of England, from the Thames River. The cities of Eaton, Oxford, Henry, Windsor and other cities on the upper reaches of the Thames River were smashed by the Ming Fleet guns.

More than a dozen warships of the Ming Dynasty were parked under the city of London, and the Dragon Banner Army of the Ming Dynasty also lined up in the city of London. Five hundred artillery pieces and more than 1000 mortars were ready to attack the capital of England at any time.

In the city, King Charles I of England sat pale and slumped on his throne. Now he really regrets that he did not listen to the words of Foreign Minister William and surrendered. Instead, he listened to the words of the Secretary of the Navy Charlton and wanted to beat the Ming army. .

The consequence of surrendering to the Ming army is that more than 80 million people in five cities, including Manchester United and Liverpool, were slaughtered by the Ming army. Now the Ming army and navy have surrounded London.

Seeing Charles I's stupidity, England's Foreign Minister William felt heartbroken. He really wanted to scold Charles I in front of him. England's current predicament was caused by the words of Charles I's trusted admiralty.

But England's foreign minister didn't know that even if they were obedient, it was impossible for England to escape the fate of destroying the country. It was impossible for Ming's eighty warships to come here just for tourism. They came to destroy the country this time.

"Your Majesty, you can't hesitate. Send envoys to the camp of the Ming army to negotiate. At the beginning, Ireland may make the Ming army withdraw. Now it is estimated that Wales may not be able to pay compensation..."

England's Foreign Minister William knew that the king would not cede the island, so they wanted to exchange Ireland and Wales for Ming's withdrawal.

King Charles I of England sighed:
"I really regret that I didn't listen to your opinion at the beginning. Now I can only do this. Immediately send Little Charlie to negotiate with the Ming army on behalf of the British Empire. At the same time, I ordered the defenders in the city to strengthen the defense of London. In addition, I sent people to Spain to negotiate with Ned. Lan asked for help, hoping they would send troops to help the British Empire..."

William shook his head:
"Your Majesty, there shouldn't be much problem sending Prince Charles to negotiate on behalf of the British Empire. Strengthening London's defenses is also necessary, but it's better to send people to Spain and the Netherlands to ask for help. London is already surrounded and can't get out. Even if they go out, it may be useless. Daming has already approached the city of London. Do you think they will let Spain and the Netherlands go? Judging from the current situation, I think it is still necessary to calm down Daming’s anger. Slaughtered London again in anger..."

Little Charlie was the son of Charles I, later Charles II, as the successor of the British Empire, William believed that he was fully capable of representing England to negotiate with Ming Dynasty.

Hearing that his son was asked to negotiate with Daming, Charles I hesitated. He worried that his son would be controlled by the Ming army and threaten the safety of London, the capital of England, so he said:

"It's not as good as you to let little Charlie negotiate with Ming Dynasty. After all, you are the foreign minister of the British Empire, and you are far superior to them in many aspects such as experience and experience. Duke William is the most suitable for such an important task..."

William panicked when he heard that, he didn't expect that his suggestion would harm him. He originally thought that Daming's control of Little Charlie would temporarily give up attacking London, thereby supporting a puppet regime. Going by himself would be tantamount to death.Immediately said:
"Your Majesty, this minister is just one of your subordinates and cannot represent the British Empire at all. Now that the British Empire is on the brink of life and death, a prince must be sent, and only Prince Charles is the most suitable!"
