"Monk, you have made contributions to the battlefield of the Netherlands. His Majesty the King has appointed you as lieutenant colonel of the infantry regiment. You only need to sharpen your skills to be promoted to gang of the infantry regiment." Earl Leicester, who has great influence, said to the slightly fat young man.

"I was forced to leave the country because of the attack on the sheriff and became a soldier sent to the Netherlands War. I served for a full ten years and was able to return to Britain to serve as a lieutenant colonel in the infantry regiment because of your support from the Earl of Leicester," said the young man known as Monk.

"Who is not young and full of energy? Since your father has passed away for many years, you will serve His Majesty the King after you return to Britain." said Count Lester.

"Yes, I must serve His Majesty the Great King, using the artillery techniques I learned in combating the Spaniards on the Netherlands battlefield!" said Monk.

"Hahaha, His Majesty the King has always wanted to establish a powerful standing army and a powerful royal navy. If His Majesty the King can make the gentry from all over the country agree to the proposal to establish a standing army, I will recommend you to His Majesty the King to serve as an officer in the standing army. You, who have participated in the war between the Netherlands and Spain for ten years, are the outstanding talents we need, and you are the nobles who need it." Earl Leicester said.

"I will definitely not let your expectations down!" Monk said seriously.

"I see you have been secretly observing Sir Greenville. The Chinese merchants are indeed eye-catching. I don't know whether His Majesty the King chooses to cooperate with them. I don't know whether it is a good or a bad thing for us in Britain. As one of His Majesty's loyal supporters, I should believe His Majesty's decision, but it is a risky thing to enter into a treaty with the Orientals who have just been in contact with him... You are relatives with Sir Greenville and work under him for a while, so you go and reminisce with him." Earl Lester said.

"I'll go and talk to Sir Greenville and come back later." Monk said goodbye.

Sir Greenville took Li Jinde to mingle among the nobles in Britain, especially the great merchants in the city of London and nearby areas, as well as the squire and nobles from the southwest counties known to Sir Greenville.

"Although our Britain is not large in size, there are also many nobles who occupy a large number of manors. They have a large amount of land and extensive power in the countryside. The nobles do not have deep conflicts with the peasants, because there are squires in every place who represent the peasants and herdsmen to fight for their interests. Some nobles are even loved by the local people, and they respond to them." Sir Greenville taught Li Jinde the power rules here.

Li Jinde nodded secretly, but thought in his heart that his father-in-law was a big landlord in a place called Devon in southwestern Britain, and he was a member of Devon. He could be said to have economic and political privileges.

"Sir Greenville, long time no see!" Monk walked to Sir Greenville and saluted Sir Greenville.

Sir Greenville showed a surprise expression when he saw Munch.

"Monk, have you returned from the Netherlands battlefield in Britain? I didn't inform me when I returned to London!" Sir Greenville patted Monk's shoulder with heartily.

Li Jinde looked at the man and found that this was a slightly fat young man with a faint murderous aura on his body. With Li Jinde's many years of experience, he was a man who had been on the battlefield and had seen life and death.

"I used to fight for us in Britain under your command, and I still remember your teachings." Monk said.

"It would be nice to be able to survive on the battlefield. Now you are an infantry lieutenant colonel and must have a bright future. Let's have a private drink tomorrow night." Sir Greenville seemed very enthusiastic about this man named Monk.

"I will definitely visit you tomorrow night. I don't know your address in London City... Yes, is Salina okay in recent years?" asked Monk.

When Sir Greenville heard Monk ask about Salina's condition, he couldn't help but cough twice, changing the subject: "She is fine...but it's a long story. Let's talk to you tomorrow night when we drink. Earl Leicester has a great prestige among officers, and it is your honor to be able to follow him to serve His Majesty the King."

"Is there something going on with her?" Monk asked persistently when he noticed that Sir Greenville was changing the subject.

Li Jinde couldn't help but be wary when he saw the young nobleman mentioning his wife.

"Well, to be honest, when you went to the Netherlands battlefield to assist the Netherlands in resisting the Spanish offensive, Salina followed the royal envoys to the distant Eastern country and married Mr. Li Jinde. She is now in China, which is tens of thousands of miles away, and even has a daughter..." Sir Greenville faced Monk with some embarrassment.

Just as Lee Jinde felt guilty towards Sir Greenville, Sir Greenville also felt guilty towards Monk.

Sure enough, when Munch heard about this news, his face turned wrong and his body trembled slightly.

"But when I went to the Netherlands, didn't you say you were willing to marry Salina to me?" Monk's voice changed unconsciously.

"I did have this intention, but things in the world are unpredictable... This is Salina's own choice, and even if she has a daughter, you don't have to force it." Sir Greenville sighed.

When Li Jinde heard this, he understood what this was. This person seemed to be interesting to his wife.

"Are you Salina's husband?" Munch looked at Li Jinde, who had just recovered, with a little bad eyes.

He was able to make many military achievements on the front line of the Netherlands battlefield. In addition to revitalizing his family, he also wanted to marry a beauty after returning to Britain. As a result, a Li Jinde came out and kidnapped Salina and even gave birth to his daughter.

"It's just that I'm here, please take care of you in Britain in the future." Li Jinde didn't want to give in when it comes to family issues.

Although the nobleman with military rank standing in front of him was a director of a Western trading company, he was supported by a stronger and taller country, and was not afraid of the other party at all.

"You're welcome..." Monk said depressedly.

The woman in the dream was snatched away by the other party, and the other party had to take care of herself. Is there anything more aggrieved than this?

According to the normal historical trajectory, George Monk, the infantry lieutenant colonel, was the fourth-ranked fleet commander in the British-Dutch war in the future, leading the British Navy to defeat the sea coachman... However, after the Chinese represented by Li Jinde arrived in Europe, all normal historical trajectories were disrupted, and Monk's life trajectory also took a turn.
