"What? Recruit Indians? Is the king crazy?" Old Washington, who was about to stab James II just now, was the first to get angry, and directly pointed the finger at James II.
"No, it's absolutely impossible! We finally wiped out the Indians in the twelve states, how can we recruit new Indians?" Old Jefferson, a big rancher from Virginia with Washington, was also angry.
"The colonies of the twelve states in North America belong to us white people, all belong to us!" Adams, the owner of the brewery in Boston, also quit.
"Yes, it was given to us by God, and no one can take it away from us!" That [-]-pound fat man, Franklin the loyal Bostonian, also turned his face.
"Not even the king!" Madison, a tobacco plantation owner also from Virginia, waved his fist and shouted, looking like he wanted to beat Churchill!
"We will never agree! And we all have guns!" Another Virginia plantation owner surnamed Lee shouted "Everyone has guns"-this Virginia did not do well in the United States in the 21st century, but in the In the era of twelve states and thirteen states, that was definitely the backbone of America!
"The 27 sons and daughters of the colony will unite and fight to the end!" The last speaker was Roosevelt from New York.As a descendant of a Dutch profiteer, he actually couldn't understand the group of rude Virginia planters.Why kill people and set fire to things that can obviously be obtained by "deception" of civilization and progress?But he also knew that the 27 colonial sons and daughters had to be united or they would lose everything.
Churchill was also stunned by the sudden change of face of the group of "loyal British ministers" in front of him.What is the situation?Why did it explode all at once?All of them were so loyal and brave just now, why did they change their faces so much now?
No one mentions allegiance to the king anymore, and the twelve states in North America have become theirs, and they were given by God, and have nothing to do with the king of England. They are still ready to fight to the end, and everyone has a gun... See what this means, If he, Governor Qiu, presses too hard, these "exiles" will rebel!
Although Churchill has thousands of British soldiers in his hands, it is impossible to send troops to suppress these "exiles" in the current situation. He still needs the help of the colonial militia to maintain the situation!
While Churchill was in a daze, the leader of the Virginia militia (the colony militia has no generals, the colonel is already the biggest) Old Washington seemed to have calmed down a little, and looked at Governor Churchill with burning eyes: "Mr. Governor, you just said that we Can you send envoys to the Yin family to seek peace?"
"Yes, yes..." Churchill said, "The aid from the Aztecs to the Appalachian Indians can only be sent through the Yin family. In fact, they are the biggest threat. So we should recruit some Indian laborers , and commanded them to build fortresses at the various promontories of the Appalachian Mountains, blocking the route of the Yin family from invading the twelve North American states. If conditions permit, we can even build a Great Wall relying on the Appalachian Mountains. So we A lot of Indian labor is needed...Of course, His Majesty the King can bear part of the cost of building fortresses, the Great Wall and recruiting Indian labor, and most of them, you only need to pay a little money."
When they heard that they only need to pay a little money, the faces of these "Loyal Ministers of Great Britain" looked a little better... In order to defend their homeland, a little money can still be paid.
But it is absolutely impossible to let 20 to [-] Indians come in!
Old Washington thought for a while and said, "We can build the fort slowly, or we can buy more black slaves to build it, but we must not let Indians in... The twelve North American states must not become the second Mexico!"
"But we don't have time!" Churchill shook his head, "The terrain of the Appalachian Mountains is not considered dangerous. There are many mountain passes that can be passed through, and there are a large number of basins and valleys in the mountains. Occupied by the Indians. Once the Yin family crosses the Mississippi River and advances, it will quickly turn these Indians into followers of the Aztecs!
By then all twelve states of New England will be overrun by Indians! "
"No, we have time!" Roosevelt from New York retorted to Churchill from England, "Mr. Governor...we can ask for peace from the Yin Family, Shang Fangguo, and even the Great Ming Dynasty! Better get the Indians back!"
"Yes! We can surrender to Daming!"
"As long as the Indians don't come to our homeland and we don't make us pay too much tax, everything is fine!"
"We paid taxes to the king, but he can't protect us...we might as well pay protection money to Daming!"
"Yes, no protection, no tax!"
What?Churchill almost jumped up - you exiles just now patted your chest and wanted to be loyal to the British forever, now you are going to kneel down to Daming?
However, the choices of these American grandpas and grandpas are also understandable.The lessons learned from Mexico are there... Let the Indians supported by the Aztecs come in, these white skins might want to exterminate the genocide!
And surrender to Daming, what will they lose?As if nothing was lost...including the soul!Because they are all "babies of God", as long as they tell God, they will be forgiven for anything they do.
"Your Excellency," Nicholas Roosevelt said again, "I can represent you and the New England Dominion to Elizabeth City (there is the fief of Sophie Masiji)... I just don't know what laws need to be prepared to surrender to Ming Dynasty Documents? Do we need to convene a Continental Congress first, and then pass a resolution to invite the Ming Emperor to serve as the lord of the New England Dominion? In addition, how much tribute should we pay to the new lord? Can we use the special tobacco produced in the Twelve States to pay for it? Account? Also, if we become vassals of the Ming Dynasty, will the sanctions imposed on me by the Ming Dynasty be invalidated automatically? Can our tobacco enter the Chinese market? These all need to be considered.”
Really thoughtful consideration!
Even the legal procedures for joining Daming have been arranged, and the Twelve State Conference must be held first, then a resolution must be passed, and then invitations will be issued... This matter must not be accepted!The procedures are so complete, it will not be so easy to deny approval in the future.
Churchill's face was livid, and he was about to vomit blood from anger!
But he still can't vomit blood, let alone arrest these gangsters from the New World!Because this is Boston, outside the Governor's Mansion are all white people from the New World with guns. If their leaders are captured, they will definitely rebel.Then there will be big troubles!
Churchill clenched his fists tightly, suppressed his anger, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't kneel down to the devil's believers, because we still have a way...to make His Majesty the King pay respects to the Indians who were exterminated by you. Kneel and kowtow to the monument of the people, and compensate them for their loss!"
The grandfathers and great-grandfathers of the United States started discussing again, but it was not about the king's kowtow, but the issue of compensation!
"compensation?"
"Compensation to whom?"
"They're all extinct... how do you spend money?"
"Maybe a foundation can be set up and run by us, and the proceeds of the foundation can be used to commemorate the Indians we exterminated."
Churchill was speechless. What good things are these people thinking about?Still let them manage... to facilitate corruption?
"Of course the compensation is for the Aztecs! Otherwise, what do you think the devil believer in Montezuma is planning?" Churchill said loudly, "But we still have to be prepared to deal with the invasion. The militias of the states must step up training and use weapons Armaments, too, must be stockpiled... Now is the age of sugar pills and rifled guns, which cost a lot of money, and the colonial states share in the cost of preparing for war."
A large fee?
A group of American grandpas and grandpas were not happy when they heard that they would pay a lot of money.
The protection of the King of England is unreliable!
Why don't you consider taking refuge in the Great Tomorrow Dynasty?Not only do you not have to worry about the counterattack of the Indians, you don’t have to spend so much money, and you can also sell tobacco to Daming... It looks very interesting!
……
Churchill finally learned how difficult it is for these colonial exiles to serve!After finally appeasing these colonial masters, he hurriedly sent his adjutant Randolph to return to England with his personal letter by the fastest ship... You have to say kowtow to the king!
Now it seems that kowtow is the lowest cost and the most feasible.Perhaps the British Parliament should also pass a resolution requiring the king to kowtow to the exterminated Indians in New England...
"Churchill! You traitor!"
Sure enough, James II's roar came from Hampton Palace in London, but it scared Churchill's sister, Arabella Churchill, the chief mistress of the royal family.While asking someone to inform John Churchill's wife, Princess Anne's "chief best friend" Sarah, she went to the king's office crying...
The king in the office was sitting on a chair and panting heavily, the wig on his head was thrown to the ground, revealing a big bald head, holding Churchill's handwritten letter in his hand, his face was pale, and the corners of his mouth were still trembling.
The 29-year-old king's chief illegitimate son, James Fitzjames, Duke of Ribaker, is standing in the office in military uniform.Seeing that her eldest son had arrived, Arabella Churchill finally breathed a sigh of relief.Then he walked into the king's office while weeping.
Seeing Arabella walking in, King James just said in a trembling voice: "John, John betrayed God. He suggested that I kowtow to the slaughtered Indians and pay compensation to the Aztecs..."
"But, but..." Arabella Churchill didn't know how to help her younger brother, so she cast a look of help to her son.
"Father," said James FitzJames, "you're actually kowtowing, not to dead Indians . . . because they're soulless!"
well said!Arabella was relieved now... Those Indians who were massacred had no souls, so when they died, they were gone. The king kowtowed to "nothing", which was equivalent to not kowtowing.
If... James thinks that those Indians have souls, then the crime of massacre would be great, so this kowtow is well deserved!
No matter which direction you interpret it, this is true.
Not to mention, James himself has no ability. His son James Fitzjames is one of the illegitimate sons of outstanding kings in Europe... Historically, he followed his father to France to hang out with Louis XIV, and finally worked in the French Army marshal!Today, he is the second most powerful general in the British Army after John Churchill. He once led the British Expeditionary Force to participate in the long Great Southern War, and he has made outstanding achievements in battle.
King James calmed down a little, but he was still unhappy, "Whether they have souls or not, my prestige as a king will be greatly damaged...even, I may even lose my throne and even my head!"
He was right!He, the king of the Stuart dynasty, did not have much prestige... In the countries he ruled, both England and Scotland believed in Protestantism, and only the Irish were Catholics.However, Catholics in Ireland have always been oppressed by the Protestants in England and Scotland. They are the fourth-class people in Great Britain (first-class England, second-class Wales, third-class Scotland, fourth-class Ireland, and fifth-class America). How much King James helped.The reason why James' father Charles I lost his head was because he was an immigrant from Scotland and because he believed in Catholicism.If it was a native English Tudor, Charlie would be a fart... Henry and Bloody Mary, the wife-killing scum king, would be safe!
"Father, you can convert to Protestantism!"
At this time, Princess Anne had already walked in from the king's office.He also gave King James a big move... As long as he enters the door of the Anglican Church, kowtow is not a problem.
"No! This is not acceptable..." King James gritted his teeth and shook his head, "Louis the Great and Pope Urban IX will not agree!"
In fact, Louis XIV didn't care about this at all, but King James was such a devout Catholic-he followed his father on this point. His father was about to be defeated and refused to convert. If he would, even if he couldn't If you continue to be the king, your head will never fall off.Even the Stuart dynasty can be kept, the big deal is to give way to the son.
But Charles I was a king who would rather have his faith than his head, and James was a little worse than his father, he still wanted his head, but he didn't need the throne!His son, that little James, is also such a fool. In history, Queen Anne died without an heir. People from the British Parliament came to him and asked him to convert and come back to be the king. Later the House of Windsor.
At this time, Princess Anne said to his father word by word: "Father, if the parliament passes a resolution, let you choose between the throne and kowtow?"
Chapter 935 1698, Kowtow Revolution!
As soon as Princess Anne's words came out, the atmosphere in the king's office suddenly dropped to freezing point.
James II, Fitz James, and Arabella Churchill all knew that this chubby, chubby Princess Anne was forcing the palace!
And they all know that the princess's forced palace is very likely to be successful.
Because James II insisted on believing in the Roman Catholic Church, his rule in Britain has been on the brink of crisis for more than a decade.If it weren't for his background, King Louis XIV of France, who had become Emperor Louis of the Franks, England's Glorious Revolution would have broken out long ago.
However, Louis’ support was not unconditional. In order to obtain Louis’ support, James II had to sacrifice the national interests of the United Kingdom and the commercial interests of British capitalists in some ways... For example, the English army was sent to Central Europe to participate in the long-term Great Southern War, But the most important fruits of victory were taken away by Louis the Great and Rakshasa Tsar Peter I!
This made the English Army, which suffered heavy losses and suffered a lot in the long war, extremely dissatisfied!
As another example, the British East India Company already controlled most of the trade between India and Europe.However, because of the order of James II, the armed merchant ships of the British East India Company were not allowed to use force to "compete freely" with armed merchant ships from France, Sweden, Portugal, Spain, and even Great Mongolia... As a result, the East India Company's market in India The share keeps falling.
This made England's capitalists and the Royal Navy very disgusted with the king!
What's more, James II also tried to give Irish Catholics fair treatment-Ireland has always been the stronghold of the James Party in history, because this autocratic king stubbornly believed that the Catholic Irish were also his people .But this is clearly not in line with England's progressive values!
In addition, England's Protestant aristocrats took advantage of Henry VIII's rectification of Catholicism to turn property that belonged to the Catholic Church and some Catholic aristocrats into their own.
Therefore, what the powerful English Protestant nobles fear most is that England's royal power will be controlled by a Catholic king!And James II is obviously a very devout king of Catholicism...and he also intends to train little James to be a devout Catholic!
Therefore, James II has long been a thorn in the eyes of the British Protestant aristocracy!
And James asked Louis XIV to be a matchmaker at this time, and asked his son James Jr. to marry the daughter of the former Polish King Sobieski... This James' heart is well known to Protestants!
This king is going to rebel!Please invite Polish foreign aid to help rebel against the Protestant-controlled parliament!
James, an immigrant from Scotland, has no foundation in England. His father is still a beheader. Now he has offended the army, navy, nobles, and capitalists in England. Now he is still plotting to rebel. The Protestant members of the parliament How can you tolerate him?
So this "Indian kowtow" incident just gave the big guys an excuse to make trouble... Regardless of whether James II kowtowed or not, they are going to make trouble.
If James II kneels quickly, they will cause trouble in the name of "the king loses his power and humiliates the country"!
If James II had a straight waist, they would pass a resolution in the name of "the king must be responsible for the massacre", requiring the king to kowtow to make amends-although the massacres in the twelve North American states were all done by Protestants and Puritans.But since it is the king's territory, King James of England must be responsible for kowtow!
And after the resolution is passed, if the king kneels, the parliament will intensify and organize an investigation team to humiliate the king in the name of thoroughly investigating the truth of the massacre... As long as the image of the king in the eyes of the people is completely tainted, England can Change the king or simply rebuild the republic!
If the king insists on not kneeling, then the Congress will accuse the loyal people of the New England Dominion of failing to protect the loyal people of the New England Dominion after the twelve North American territories were attacked by the Aztecs—then If the king continues to be a coward, the parliament will be able to depose the king for dereliction of duty!If the king wants to send troops to North America, the parliament will release news that the king will force [-] English Protestants to go to war in North America... and then incite London citizens who are dissatisfied with the king and unwilling to serve as soldiers to fight...
In short, no matter how James II chooses, the parliament has prepared charges for him!Unless he is willing to convert to the Anglican Church, as long as James II rebels against the God of Rome and believes in the God of the Anglican Church, then everyone will still be a monarch and minister.No matter if you want to kowtow or pay compensation, everyone will help you, so that the king and minister will be loyal to each other.Otherwise, this matter may not be over!
As for the interference of the Frankish Empire... those Protestant MPs are not afraid!
England is a country in the North Atlantic Alliance, and now it is being bullied by Ming and Aztec.Louis XIV should lead the North Atlantic Alliance to fight against Ming and Aztec, or at least destroy the Aztec kingdom, right?
Now that Louis does not dare to insult Daming, nor does he dare to send troops to the Aztecs, how can he have the face to bully the English Parliament?
And the English Army and Navy are not just paper!
Princess Anne is the heir to the British throne as determined by the British Parliament...
"No!"
Knowing the purpose of his daughter's visit, James II's stubborn temper came up. I saw him standing upright, looking at his ambitious and Protestant daughter Anne, and said word by word: "As England, Scotland, King of Ireland and Wales, Lord of New England, Protector of the East India and Hudson Company colonies, Lord of Jamaica, Virgin, Bahamas, faithful of the Roman Catholic Church, I will never lower my dignity to any heathen Let alone kneel and kowtow, even lose the throne. If the council thinks I must kneel and kowtow to those soulless dead Indians, then I'd rather... give up the throne!
And, I, James Stuart, am a king, not a slave of Parliament, nor will I be king on my knees! "
After hearing James II's statement, Princess Anne breathed a sigh of relief - because her father only said that he would rather give up the throne, but did not say that he would rather be killed.In other words, there will be no civil war, no bloodshed, and her position as queen is secure.
It would be difficult to say if Britain started a civil war again, not to mention that the parliamentary army was defeated by the royal army. Even if the parliamentary army won, James II would grab his head and chop off his head...The victorious parliamentary army really needs a surname Is a Stuart woman coming to be Queen of England?Wouldn't it be better to just create a republic?
"Father," Princess Anne frowned, trying to put on a sad expression, "You can reconsider the issue of conversion...as long as you join the Anglican Church, the council will support you through the immediate crisis. "
"No!" James II said firmly, "I will never betray God for the throne...Although I have done many things that violate the teachings of Jesus, my belief in the Father is always the same, and my loyalty to the Holy See is the same. Always. I just don't have the determination to shed blood for my faith like my father Charles I, but I will never betray my faith for power!"
Princess Anne breathed a sigh of relief: "Father, I will convey your meaning to the Parliament...The Parliament will soon condemn the massacre in the North American colonies and ask you to apologize to the Indians killed during the Stuart dynasty and compensation!"
"I will never apologize to the soulless heretics, let alone make compensation... because to do so would be to betray God!" James II's answer was very firm, "I will also publicly issue a statement to the parliament's request. refute!"
Princess Anne nodded: "Okay, then the parliament will pass a resolution asking you to give up the throne."
"Give it up and give it up!" said James II. "Faith is above all things to me!"
Princess Anne said: "As long as you issue a statement to renounce the throne, you can leave England safely, and the parliament and I will not pursue your property overseas, and no one will chase you and little James. You can rest assured Retire in France. If little James is willing to give up Catholicism and convert to the Anglican Church in the future, I will make him the British Crown Prince!"
Princess Anne and her husband have had a dozen children, but none of them has grown to a large size.So she doesn't expect to be able to be an old heir and hold back an heir, but she plans to live a queen's addiction, and in the future she will be a sister and brother (is this also considered a helper?) Forget it.
"Okay," James II nodded, "That's it!"
At this time, James did not think that his son James Jr., like him and his father, is a master who does not love the country and loves God!
When King James of England, who intends to rebel, and his daughter, the alternate queen introduced by the parliament, negotiated the terms of abdication, the British Parliament held an emergency meeting overnight and launched the "kowtow revolution" (this is the Jacobite party's derogatory name for this revolution) ) process.That night, it was passed to condemn the king for indulging the group of exiles in the New World to massacre the Indians. It also required the king to kowtow to the Indians to make amends and to pay compensation to the extinct Indians.
Of course, it is impossible to hand over the compensation to the dead, and there is no such thing as burning paper money in Europe.Therefore, the British Parliament intends to set up a trust fund, which will be managed by bankers designated by the Parliament, to buy England's national debt, and use the proceeds of the national debt to commemorate the Holocaust...
Of course, King James would not accept the accusations of the parliament. After issuing a statement of refutation, he announced his renunciation of the throne, and then led a queen, a legal son, eleven mistresses and a large group of illegitimate children. Ten boxes of gold and silver treasures boarded a royal yacht and swam directly to the other side of the English Channel.
On the day after James II left England, Princess Anne was enthroned at Hampton Court Palace under the support of a group of MPs-the era of Queen Anne has come!
However, it was beyond the expectations of Queen Anne and the members of the British Parliament. Although they solved the problem of "who kowtows and who is king" as quickly as possible, the vast Atlantic still made it impossible for this news to spread in the first place. Twelve States in North America——It takes [-] to [-] days to travel from England to Boston with smooth sailing. If you count the time for boarding and disembarking and waiting for the appropriate wind direction and sea conditions, it can take three or four months to make a trip. Very fast.
But those American grandpas and grandpas in the twelve states of North America can't wait!
These people are a bit guilty-this is not the era when the United States dominates the world, but now is the era when the United States is afraid of "Mexico"!The Aztecs had a population of 600 million, with a standing army of 20, which could be expanded to 30 at any time... while the total population of the twelve North American colonies was only 27.
How to order people, how can they resist the mighty "Mexico"?
Moreover, the Aztec Kingdom also has a very powerful "ally" Shangfang Kingdom!
The population of this country may not be as large as the Aztecs, but it is a vassal of the Great Ming Dynasty... The Great Ming Dynasty is like a kingdom of God to the twelve North American states at that time!
Twelve states in North America are now being targeted by the Aztecs, Shang Fang, and the Great Ming Dynasty... It's like the sky is falling and the earth is falling!
Even though the Twelve States have been fully mobilized and put on alert, they have only expanded the number of militiamen to [-] with all their efforts, which is not enough for the great tomorrow's soldiers.
Therefore, in the six, seven, and eight months of 1698, the entire twelve states were shrouded in an atmosphere of imminent catastrophe.
