Chapter 485 The Germans are coming and we are colonized! (Opinions on the new book, which one is better, Dashun? Or the Zheng family of Nanming?

"Royal Navy defeated in the Pacific!"

"The Australian Army has been defeated miserably, Brisbane has fallen, and Sydney is under siege!"

"Cabinet resigns, the United Kingdom will no longer have a First Minister!"

"His Majesty Emperor William breaks with convention and will directly lead the government! The United Kingdom has entered the era of monarchy!"

"Emperor William has mobilized troops from Germany. Fifty thousand German troops have landed in Dover and are marching towards London!"

All of the above were news that appeared on the front pages of major British newspapers such as The Times, the Daily Express, and the Daily Mirror within a few days at the end of January 1833. Each one was more exciting than the other.

Each one shocked the people of England.

Contrary to what some people imagine, there is actually no legal freedom of the press in Britain after the bourgeois revolution. In fact, the mainstream newspapers in the UK must pay high stamp duties. Every newspaper must pay taxes.

!So the price of legal newspapers in the UK is also very high, which is looked down upon by the working people. Of course, the circulation of legal newspapers is far less than that of those European countries across the English Channel.

Under such circumstances, all legal "big" newspapers in the UK have characteristics such as small circulation, few readers, poor hematopoietic ability, and dependence on the father of the funder behind them. And the father of the funder of a legal "big" newspaper can support it.

Who are these people? You can figure it out just by thinking about it.

Therefore, the British cabinet and parliament still have a very strong ability to control legal news. After the British Empire was actually at war with the Ming Dynasty, the legal "big" newspapers in the UK would never publish anything that the government and parliament were not allowed to publish.

The content is all very well-organized.

Of course, there are still many illegal newspapers in the UK. With the development of the British capitalist economy, the literacy rate of the British working people is not low, so the poor also have a demand for newspapers. In another timeline, "

The "Sage Article" "Mercury" is such an "illegal tabloid", but it has more readers than any legal "big" newspaper!

However, in the past few days at the end of January 1833, Britain's legal "big" newspapers seemed to have changed editors overnight, and they all began to report bad news on the battlefield and at home.

The bad news was so terrible that it frightened the rich, honest, civilized gentlemen of England.

How did Britain, which had been peaceful for many years, become as terrible as the European continent and North America overnight?

Oh, it's not the defeat on the battlefield that's scary. The defeat in the Pacific and Australia wasn't too bad for the wealthy people in the British Isles. What's really scary is the upheaval happening in Britain itself!

That Emperor William seemed to have gone crazy! He actually dismissed all ministers, including the Duke of Wellington, and broke the practice since George I, no longer appointing a chief minister, and began to rule!

The rubber stamp is coming to power! The constitutional monarchy that made the rich British feel proud and secure was abolished overnight by Emperor William!

What's worse is that the wealthy people in the British Isles hurriedly looked at the laws and looked through them, trying to find the provisions of "a false monarch establishing a constitution". But unfortunately, that does not exist at all.

That's just "custom" and not a written law at all.

In fact, the UK does not have a written "constitution" at all, so what kind of "constitution" would it have?

An even more terrifying thing was published on the front pages of mainstream British newspapers such as The Times, Daily Express, and Daily Mirror on January 31st - 50,000 heavily armed German troops

Landed at Dover!

When they saw this news, the British gentlemen had a feeling of doom. The German troops had landed in Dover!

In the minds of British gentlemen, the English Channel is like a natural chasm, protecting the islands they live in and keeping them calm in the troubled times of Europe. Even if emperors like Charles V and Napoleon appeared in Europe, they would be blocked by this narrow, often

Blocked by fog-shrouded straits.

But now the Germans have landed at Dover!

In the early morning of February 15, the song "God bless our Emperor William" sung in German rang out on the busiest street in London. Wearing a German-style pointed steel helmet (also known as a spike helmet), carrying Jaeger on his shoulders

German officers and soldiers with rifles sang the German version of the British national anthem; they lined up neatly and marched into London in a mighty manner!

For those who didn’t know this scene, they thought it was the German Empire that had captured London!

The gentlemen and working people watching on the streets of London also had some illusions. Is their motherland imperialist? Or is it a colony?

If we say it's imperialism, then why are so many Indian soldiers coming in the front and a large number of German troops coming in the back?

Emperor William mobilized so many foreign troops. Who should London be guarding against?

Prevent the Ming Dynasty?

The Ming army is still in the Pacific! India has not even been attacked yet, how could it come to Britain so quickly?

Guard against Napoleon II of France?

It's not like that. The relationship between Britain and France is very good now, but the Ming Dynasty and Rakshasa are instigating an anti-French alliance to support the restoration of the Bourbon dynasty. However, the German duo are having a headache over who will be the future German emperor and have no intention of fighting against France. But

France's Napoleon II was much worse than his father. His father came to power by relying on the prestige established with the barrel of a gun after a series of turbulent social changes. Napoleon II, on the other hand, just used the royalists in France.

The republican and Bonapartist faction succeeded in coming to power due to the conflict and speculation, but they did not go through the test of blood and fire, nor did they have a strong military group by their side.

Therefore, after Napoleon II came to power, not only did he not dare to offend Britain, but he also continued to show his kindness to the British Empire. Of course, it was impossible to declare war on the Ming Dynasty. Who would fall in love with the British when they behaved like this?

A pirate ship? However, it is absolutely impossible for Napoleon II to land in Britain. Even if he had this intention, there would be no need to mobilize the German army to defend against it!

The Royal Navy's Home Fleet can still block the Navy of the Second French Republic, and the British mainland is very safe for the time being.

So these 50,000 German troops (actually not that many, only 20,000) are not defending against the Ming Dynasty, nor France, but who are they defending against? It seems that they can only defend against the British people who oppose Emperor William's dictatorship!

Looking at the German troops marching majestically on the street, and then looking at the Gurkha troops guarding around St. James's Palace, Emperor William, standing on the balcony of St. James's Palace, breathed a sigh of relief, but then he felt something was wrong.

!

Although he mobilized German troops, the Gurkhas' approach of protecting themselves from British mobs was completely reasonable and in line with British practice - the King's German Infantry Regiment was not his creation, it existed as early as the Napoleonic Wars.

In the battle that finally defeated Napoleon, there were only more than 20,000 serious British troops participating in the battle, while the British King's German Infantry Regiment dispatched more than 7,000 troops, and the Kingdom of Hanover dispatched more than 13,000 troops. The two together were not much less than the British army.

In addition, there are a large number of troops from small German states, totaling 20,000 to 30,000. But can the British people understand the difficulties of his king? They will not mistakenly think that they are colonized by India and the Germans.

Bar?

In addition, where have the Duke of Wellington, Viscount Palmerston, Viscount Melbourne, Lord Gray, and Sir Robert Peel gone? Why don't they come to St. James's Palace to welcome the German troops loyal to the British King?

I highly recommend the new work "Ming Dynasty: My Grandfather is Zhu Yuanzhang" by the most handsome man in Ming Dynasty.

In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu's reign, Prince Zhu Biao passed away.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, is about to appoint Zhu Yunwen as the grandson of the emperor.

Zhu Yunxi, the second son, felt that it was necessary for him to fight for a big position.

Otherwise, when Jianwen and his three idiots make a fool of themselves and King Zhu Di of Yan raises troops to launch the Jingnan, he will not even have the chance to be a salted fish.

My grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang.

My fourth uncle is Zhu Di.

I am great grandson Zhu Yunxi.

We, three generations of strong men from our ancestors and grandchildren, join forces to play with the earth together!
