Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

In an instant, everyone present was struck by lightning, and the Prime Minister staggered and collapsed in his chair.

The reason why their British Empire, the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, was able to dominate the entire world was because of its invincible naval fleet and the unrivaled combat power of the lobster soldiers.

However, in just one day, their proudest navy was defeated, and it is still unknown how many escaped.

The lobster soldiers were defeated one after another in the face of the powerful attack of the Ming army.

In less than one morning, one of the four carefully prepared lines of defense was breached, and that was the one they thought was the strongest.

With the Ming army's powerful armor capabilities and the overwhelming artillery attacks, the Prime Minister couldn't imagine how long the remaining three lines of defense could last?
"Let's end it. Rather than making unnecessary sacrifices, it's better to end it here."

Just when everyone was indifferent, a cold female voice sounded.

Everyone looked back and saw the queen walking in with two huge Tibetan mastiffs.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"

The Prime Minister stood up suddenly and looked at the Queen, unable to believe what he heard.

Victoria handed the two Tibetan mastiffs to the female official beside her and walked in front of the crowd. She looked at everyone present with her beautiful eyes and spoke after a moment of silence.

"I know you are unwilling to give up and feel that you still have a chance, but the whole world is in this situation. In fact, we no longer have a chance."

"The entire Great Europe has been occupied by the enemy. To use the words of the East, only our British Empire is left lingering on."

She turned around and walked to the map, pointing at the world map and slowly said, "The navy we placed our hopes on was pushed back step by step by the enemy, and finally stopped on our own land, hoping to use our local advantages to deal a heavy blow to the enemy."

"But what was the result?"

The queen looked at the official who was still holding the intelligence, and the other party lowered his head silently.

"Our navy was defeated. Even if some of them escaped, what would that do?"

"We fought with all our might, but we still couldn't take them down. All that's left are some ships and ships that haven't been built yet in the shipyard. Is there any hope for our navy to turn the tables?"

"Army, can you tell me how many troops you can muster?"

Victoria looked at the Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister was silent for a while, then slowly said, "After our efforts, we will be able to reach 200 million troops. The Great Beauty has also promised that they will negotiate with the two sides as soon as possible and then send troops to support us."

"Haha." The Queen chuckled and looked at the Prime Minister and asked, "Even if they can recruit another 200 million troops, can they arm them with our current industrial logistics strength?"

"Or even if they are armed, can they match the powerful and well-equipped Ming army in terms of equipment?"

"Also, do you know how many combat troops the Ming army has now?"

The prime minister did not speak. The official holding the intelligence slowly spoke: "According to what we have learned, the Ming army's native troops plus the vassal troops sent by the Russians and the troops recruited from various places are about 600 million to 700 million."

"So." The Queen looked at him.

The intelligence officer lowered his head silently.

Yeah, so.

The Angel Alliance recruited so many troops, but they were all defeated by the Ming army. Is it possible for them and Da Piaoliang to turn the tables?
"I know you are unwilling to accept this, and you may even think that even if you lose the war, you can just disperse your troops and keep harassing the Ming army to prevent them from controlling the territory."

"As long as we are given enough time, the Ming army will be overwhelmed and we will have a chance to make a comeback."

“I am also very optimistic about this idea.”

"However," the Queen changed the subject and said bluntly, "On the premise that Napoleon will not show up."

Everyone present looked gloomy again.

Napoleon, the Governor of Great Europe, directly shattered their last hope.

As Westerners, they understand their own people best.

If the Ming Dynasty sent an Oriental to manage the entire West, the resistance and opposition from the lower-class people would be very serious.

The Ming Dynasty saw this and chose a Westerner to serve as the governor-general, and this person was a very famous one.

Napoleon, Emperor of France.

With this person of great reputation and prestige, the Gallic Rooster will collapse without any attack. As long as the upper class of the Ming Dynasty gives some benefits to the lower-class people and treats the nobles a little better, the Gallic Rooster will no longer have to rely on him.

With the help of the Gallic Rooster, other surrounding forces will also be gradually affected.

By then, when the economies of both sides are compared, more and more people will defect.

In this way, their hopes of turning the tables will become extremely slim.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

The commander-in-chief of the army thought for a while, looked at the queen, and asked the answer that everyone present wanted to know.

The queen did not answer immediately, but looked at everyone present: "Surrender to the Ming Dynasty and join it, and I can assure you that after the war, although you will lose your power, your personal life and property will be guaranteed."

"In addition, the Ming Dynasty will also give you generous treatment in terms of land, and will not let you suffer too much loss."

As soon as the queen finished speaking, an official muttered, "Isn't that still a loss?" The queen looked at him speechlessly and said unhappily, "Compared to having your property confiscated, you were beheaded and your whole family was sent to work in the mines. It's good enough to just suffer a little loss."

"Look at Prussia, which resisted the most fiercely. Most of their top leaders were hanged by Napoleon. Their families, the men, were sent to the mines, and the women were assigned to the soldiers and officers."

"Although nominally they are to be their spouses, I'm sure you all know what the reality is like."

"Think about your virtuous wife and beautiful daughter. Can you bear to let them suffer like that?"

"Think about the children you have high hopes for. Would you be willing to let them toil in the mines for their entire lives, expecting them to die of exhaustion or in an accident one day?"

"Gentlemen, the situation of the world being unified by the Ming Dynasty cannot be changed. If we continue to resist and anger the Ming Dynasty, we will be sinners for the entire England."

"You are all upper-class people. You all know that you must not show any mercy to your enemies. In order to prevent them from rising in the future, you will suppress them without mercy until this race is completely exterminated."

Victoria took a deep breath and concluded: "I know many people will still be unwilling, but as the queen and the leader of all the people, I have to consider their future and even more so their children."

"So you choose to surrender?"

The Prime Minister looked at the Queen coldly and questioned her.

The Queen ignored him and looked at the officials and parliamentarians present.

"I will give you three days. I will send people to negotiate with the Ming army and buy you three days to leave."

"If you don't want to live under the control of the Ming army, you can take a ship to Damei. I believe you will be treated as you deserve there."

"If you don't want to be displaced anymore, you can choose to stay with me."

"The Ming Dynasty treats those who surrender sincerely with kindness. I believe that the decision we make will allow the Ming Dynasty to give us the rewards we deserve."

After saying that, he nodded to everyone and left with the two Tibetan mastiffs.

After watching the queen leave, the hall fell into silence.

After a long moment, the Prime Minister looked at everyone present. Many of them had determined expressions, as if they were determined to resist to the end.

However, more people fell into deep thought, and it was obvious that they were persuaded by the queen.

Among them, military officers and nobles accounted for the vast majority.

Seeing this scene, the Prime Minister sighed inwardly.

He understood that between property and life, these guys ultimately chose property and chose to take a gamble, betting that the Ming Dynasty would not take revenge on them later.

He wanted to say a few more words, but after opening his mouth for a long time, he didn't know what to say.

He looked at everyone present silently, and many people lowered their heads when facing his gaze.

"Haha, the sun never sets, the sun never sets!"

The Prime Minister staggered out of the table and said somewhat dejectedly, "Her Majesty the Queen has already given a choice. You should all go back and think about it. Give me your reply before dark."

He finally chose to let everyone present decide his fate.

When the Prime Minister walked out of the door, everyone present looked at each other and hurriedly left the council hall.

Soon, a large number of noble carriages, protected by their respective family guards, left the foggy city.

At the same time, the representatives sent by the Queen also found the Ming army soldiers. After revealing their identities, they were taken on a ship and headed to Dunkirk opposite.

Zhu Zhanjun was not surprised at the arrival of the representative. He chatted with him for a few words and then passed Tang Jian, who had rushed over, over.

What a coincidence that the two of them knew each other.

The representative sent out was none other than the envoy that the British Empire had sent to the Ming Dynasty.

This guy, Old Tang, didn't give any face to the other party's enthusiasm for establishing a relationship with him, and started negotiating with him.

After an afternoon of communication and with Zhu Zhanjun's final approval, the two parties formally finalized the process.

Give the British Empire three days to prepare. During these three days, the Ming army will not launch any attacks, the navy will choose to retreat, and no port routes will be closed.

Three days later, when the sun rose, all the lobster soldiers walked out of the trenches, handed in their weapons and obeyed the orders of the Ming army.

Four days later, the Queen will formally sign the surrender agreement at Buckingham Palace, abdicate her title, accept the position of Deputy Governor of Great Europe given by the Ming Dynasty, and assist Napoleon in managing the entire Great Europe region.

The British Empire was also very satisfied with the conditions offered by the Ming Dynasty, especially their queen, who was also Deputy Governor-General of Dayu, which instantly calmed their somewhat uneasy hearts.

Having one of our own people as the second-in-command will surely mean that we won't suffer too much in the future.

Looking at a group of smiling nobles and officials, the queen shook her head secretly.

Poor guy, he was sold and still secretly counting the money.

But think about it.

Who would have thought that Queen Victoria of the British Empire was already a traitor to the Ming Dynasty when the Ming army appeared. (End of this chapter)
