Chapter 1023： Old business

Dahua’s reinforcements arrived in London, which was a huge bad news for Great Britain.

Urgently, the British Navy had no news of the entire army and was told by the Chinese army. This was the second bad news.

Under the double blow, Charles II couldn't even eat directly.

The troops surrounding London also all withdrew to the Oxford line.

If they continue to stay in London, their safety is not guaranteed.

After all, three thousand Chinese troops can withstand their attack. Now eight thousand people are gathered in London, and they have the ability to counterattack.

The withdrawal of the outer army left the nobles in the city in complete despair.

This means that they have lost the opportunity to be rescued.

And the government has delayed in peace talks with Dahua, and they are already at stake.

Even if the Chinese army has not yet begun to massacre them, there are already nobles starved to death.

Their property was robbed by the Chinese army, so naturally they had no money to buy food.

Those who can get food can barely survive, and the nobles who can't get it have starved to death many times.

"I wish I had a daughter."

A nobleman who was about to faint from hunger shrank in a corner, with such an idea in his mind.

There is a daughter, but at this time, he can go to please the Chinese soldiers and exchange some food.

Just when he was about to despair, the Chinese Army, in the spirit of humanitarianism, allowed the British to redeem people.

According to the previous status of these nobles, the prices were clearly marked and let their relatives or the government spend money to redeem them.

The Hua Jun came up with this trick, mainly because he didn't bother to attack other places.

Go grab it yourself, how can the enemy take the initiative to send it comfortably.

Moreover, this is also the fine tradition of the Huajun.

As early as when Wu Changqing had just captured Nanjing, he sold prisoners to the Qing court for military expenses. Since then, this matter of selling prisoners has never stopped.

Of course, Dahua's principle of selling prisoners is to sell only those who are useless and valuable.

Azige is valuable and wasteful, so it can be sold. Hong Chengchou is relatively less valuable than Azig, but he is more capable than Azig, so naturally he can't sell it.

Most of these nobles in London belonged to the kind of high-status, but not very capable people.

Those who are capable have already withdrawn from London with Charles II. Great Britain also knows how to protect talents and prevent them from dying in bombings.

Therefore, those nobles in London can sell it, even Donald can sell it.

Donald has some abilities, but so what, put him back, the British navy is still ruined, and it will not be possible to regain its vitality within three or five years.

As soon as the news spread, the nobles in London began to write letters quickly.

And their relatives outside the city have also begun to find ways to raise money to redeem people. After all, there is too little security in the city of London, and no one knows that the Chinese army will suddenly kill the killer.

Moreover, for some female aristocrats, there is an urgent need to flee London.

For those wealthy nobles, this news is not bad. Although a piece of meat will be cut, at least it will be able to save people.

For those nobles who have no relatives and no money, they can only watch other nobles flee the sea of ​​suffering at this time.

"George, please let your father redeem our family. Don't you like Merlot? You can get married if you redeem us."

A nobleman begged another young noble to be redeemed.

"Uncle Ferguson, Merlot is not the next man to accompany him these days."

George said depressed.

Although, he used to like Merlot.

However, he likes a virgin Merlot, not a tainted Merlot.

What's more, it is even more impossible to spend money to redeem the Fergusons.

"Slom, bastard, I'm going to kill him, has he forgotten who brought him up?"

A nobleman cursed in the street. He wrote a letter to his nephew, hoping that his nephew would redeem his family.

However, it is clear that family affection lost to money at this time.

The price of his family was too expensive, and Slom couldn't bear to pay the money.

"Asshole, do you mean my manor can't sell for ten thousand yuan?"

A fat nobleman cursed.

He has no relatives outside, but he can sell his estate in London.

Although London is currently occupied by Dahua, there are still some speculators who are willing to gamble that London will return to Great Britain.

Therefore, they took this opportunity to rob.

The manor of the fat nobility was worth at least one hundred thousand yuan before London fell. But now, speculators are only willing to pay 10,000 yuan, and they can just redeem the fat man's family.

"Sir Arthur, you have no choice. I am also taking a huge risk. If London is ceded to Dahua, I will lose 10,000 yuan directly. Besides, compared with your life, this What is the manor?"

The speculator laughed.

In the end, the fat man was just a helpless compromise. Live first, and then you will have a chance to make a comeback.

In Oxford, Charles II is also discussing with others how to deal with Dahua's move. For those nobles who have not been redeemed, should the government take action?

"Can't help, otherwise the nobles who have already spent money on their own will have opinions."

Said a minister.

"However, if we stand by, we will be scolded by the nobles for inaction."

Charles II said depressed.

The emperor of the prosperous age is so good.

At this time, no matter what he does or doesn't do, it is wrong, and someone will scold him.

"But we don't have any money anymore. We don't have enough military expenses every day. Where is there any money to redeem people?"

"Isn't the navy gone? All the military expenses allocated to the navy can be saved in the future."

"Asshole, do you want Great Britain to lose control of the sea forever?"

"In front of the Dahua Navy, have you ever had the right to dominate the sea?"

"Your army is not much better. Tens of thousands of people can't defend a single London, and they are captured by thousands."

"If it weren't for your navy waste, the enemy could get close to London? If it wasn't for your waste, the enemy's guns could reach London?"

......

Soon, there was a quarrel in the conference room.

People in the navy faction naturally want to keep the navy.

Others felt that the Navy had invested too much, and had no use for anything, and that they had lost all their wealth in a naval battle, and there was really no need to keep them.

Even at the moment of the survival of the country, people of different interest factions will not give in to each other when they encounter disputes.

This scene made Charles II very discouraged.

He now hopes that a minister with sufficient weight will stand up and let him surrender, so that he can end this war happily. He really doesn't want to live such a bad life.

He wants to end the war now and live for more than ten years. As for what to do in the future, this mess is left to future generations to get a headache.
