Chapter 861: The Celestial Territory of England

On July 1, 1658, when Europe was paying attention to England, none of them expected that this day would be a day that would change the entire modern history of Europe.

In a noble manor outside London, Zhu Youbin, the emperor's special envoy, took over the letter of the country from Charles II on behalf of the Ming Dynasty.

From then on, England became a vassal of the Ming Dynasty.

On the morning of this day, the Treaty of London drafted by Zhu Youbin was written in three languages: Chinese, English and Latin. Zhu Youbin signed on behalf of the Ming Dynasty and Charles II signed on behalf of England.

After the signing of the treaty, Charles II couldn't help but feel ecstatic. After all, for him, this treaty meant that the Chinese Celestial Empire was responsible for him and that they would assist him in restoring his rule in England.

Of course, all this is not without a price.

According to the requirements of the treaty, in addition to enjoying all trade privileges of the suzerain state, the United Kingdom not only agreed to rent the 7,000 acres around Chatham Dock to the Ming Dynasty forever as the Ming Concession, but also agreed to the Ming Dynasty to station troops in the UK and establish a naval base at a suitable port to "guarantee the security of the vassal states."

Of course, this port is still being chosen, and the two sides will finalize this matter through negotiations in the future. Of course, the Ming Dynasty is not worried that the British will repent. After all, for a strong country, the strength of the national strength is the fundamental guarantee that the other party dare not repent.

If national strength declines, one will rise and fall. Even if there is a guarantee of a treaty, the other party will also tear up the treaty. Throughout history, although all treaties have been signed on paper, they are actually guaranteed by national strength.

In addition to its native land, England also had to hand over all North American colonies to the Ming Dynasty - for Charles II, this was not a burden at all, after all, those colonies were against the king.

Leaving those traitors to foreigners is wrong, but handing them over to the Heavenly Kingdom can save him trouble. For England, the most important thing now is to restore the royal power!

If you want to restore Wang Zheng, there is only one choice, which is to measure the material resources of England and the favor of the Celestial Empire.

As long as the Celestial Empire is happy and with support from the Celestial Empire, Charles II believes that he will definitely be able to restore his rule in England.

Of course, he also had to avenge his father. After all, the thugs cut off his father's head. With the help of the Celestial Empire, he would definitely be able to send that guy Cromwell to the guillotine.

"Your Highness the King."

Zhu Youbin said with a smile:

"Since the Ming Dynasty and England are now sectarian and vassal relationships, considering that the king has just returned to England and considering the safety of the king, I decided to draw two thousand men from the English army to form a new infantry regiment as the king's guard. I wonder what the king intended?"

What!

There is such a good thing?

This was just just signing the contract, and they actually wanted to send an army to themselves.

This Heavenly Dynasty is indeed worthy of being the Heavenly Dynasty. It is definitely not comparable to those countries on the European continent. They are all extremely stingy.

Charles II hurriedly said:

"The angel treats the little minister so well. How can the little minister repay the heavenly dynasty? The little king will remember the kindness of the recreation of the heavenly dynasty and will never forget it in his life."

The grace of recreation,

Rebuild England!

Perhaps, this is the biggest gain of this trip.

Faced with Charles II's gratitude, Zhu Youbin smiled and said:

"You are kind to the king. When I return to the Ming Dynasty, Your Majesty will definitely send another envoy to the king and give him a golden seal. By then, England will be one of the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty!"

Then?

Charles II said in fear:

"Angel, is England not a vassal of the Ming Dynasty now?"

"Think about it, how can it not count?"

Zhu Youbin smiled.

"It's just that there are still some procedures!"

For Europe, this is undoubtedly an extremely important day. This day not only means the restoration of the King of England, but more importantly, the Ming Dynasty truly entered Europe on this day. With the Erwuzi, who relied on Protestantism to overthrow the Pope's authority in England, the Ming Dynasty entered Europe and became the suzerain of England.

Although there is nothing special in the "London Treaty" except the concessions and the insignificant North American colonies, in fact, this treaty is just beginning, and you will not feel sad when you cut your flesh with zero knife. You will not become fat in one bite.

Of course, you also need to bear responsibility when you get it.

Even the ink of the treaty here was not dry yet, Charles II asked the Ming Dynasty to send troops to help him restore the throne. Zhu Youbin naturally accepted this with pleasure.

"I wonder when the prince is going to send troops?"

"It's going to be three days later!"

Zhu Youbin smiled.

The troops were sent three days later, not for Charles II, but because - they were about to lose food!

It has to be said that George Monk's blockade and blocking trade did have a significant effect. In fact, without the existence of those merchants, the Ming fleet could not even stay here for the first half of a month. Moreover, it was the merchants who brought enough food, meat and other supplies. Their stolen goods were undoubtedly the greatest help of the Ming Dynasty. Not only that, they even took the initiative to provide the British army with intelligence. After all, there were too many British people who opposed Cromwell's rule.

Of course, some people opposed Cromwell's rule, and there were also supporters of the Republic. On the day after the signing of the treaty, Cromwell received information, which was of course provided by the 25-year-old Congressmen. Those politicians had never been so-called loyalty, even at this time, they still bet on both ends.

The shamelessness of the "People" politicians can be seen from this.

"It's so shameless!"

After learning about Charles II's treason, Cromwell said in anger.

"Aren't this damn Charlie afraid that all the Englishmen would curse him? He was so shameless."

In fact, for European countries, it is common to cede land and pay compensation, but everyone maintains a principle - cede land and pay compensation again after defeating the war. Of course, if you can hold on, you can hold on if you can. But now, Charles II is better and directly sold England.

He even surrendered to the Chinese.

Being shameless is rare in the world.

Isn’t the king an endorsement of God on earth?

How can we be like the Chinese emperor?

"Your Majesty, the most important thing now is that the Chinese will soon emerge from the protection circle of naval guns. The time we have been waiting for for a long time has finally come!"

George Monk's tone seemed very calm, but there was a hint of expectation in the calm.

The current changes in history have made this general who played an extremely important role in the "King Restoration" no longer have the opportunity to be the "Two Five-Yi" and win over Daying. However, for the one who said in the parliament, "If we defeat the king 99 times, he and his descendants will still be kings; and if the king defeats us, even once, all people will be hanged, and our descendants will definitely become slaves." George Monk said that he knew very well that the price of failure.

The price of failure is that they cannot bear it. Now that the Chinese themselves jump into the trap, it is undoubtedly the best thing.

"I know, George, before that, our plan was to defeat the Chinese and force them to retreat, but now? Since they are withdrawing, they will use Charlie to demagogue people. Those so-called "Royals" will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble again..."

Cromwell said worriedly.

As a usurper, after claiming to be "protecting the country", in order to maintain his rule, he has always implemented high-pressure policies and used the military control of major generals to suppress the internal opposition forces. Because he clearly knows how stubborn and powerful the opposition forces are, he has the current worries.

In the past, he only had to consider how to suppress the opposition at home. As for Charlie... no monarch of any European country would support him.

But now, the Chinese have become his supporters.

This is simply a nightmare!

George Monk said.

"Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to defeat them. I think, at present, nothing more important than that!"
