When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

Seeing Zhu Di firing the shells calmly from behind, the accuracy of the shells was obviously reduced a lot.

Charles Elliot could not help but recall the time when he used actual combat to train his soldiers on the battlefield.

He felt extremely frustrated and angry, cursing in his heart: "Damn it, it's so frustrating! I never thought that I, the great Royal Navy, would one day become someone else's training target! This is simply an insult to John Bull!"

Thinking of this, Charles Elliot could no longer bear this humiliation. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fuck, this can't go on! We must find a way to get out of this predicament as soon as possible!"

After some thought, Charles Elliot decided to take an extreme measure - raising the white flag and surrendering.

Although this was an unacceptable humiliation for the proud John Bull, there was no other choice at this time.

If we continue to fight, it may result in more casualties and losses.

Charles Elliot issued an order: "All crew members, listen up and raise the white flag to surrender immediately! Leave the rest to the politicians at home! They should be held responsible for this!"

Through the telescope, Zhu Di saw the British warships in front of him hoisting white flags and slowing down. He couldn't help but say: "With this level, the Qing Dynasty is no match. No wonder they say 'Whoever offends the Qing Dynasty must pay compensation, no matter how far away they are!'

The Fourth Fleet and the Fifth Fleet should move over and control all the enemy soldiers, especially those warships. Put out the fire quickly. Although it is a bit backward, it is still good in this era. Bring all of them back to Dalong. From now on, all these warships will be named Long!"

Meng Tian brought his soldiers to the British ship.

"I order all of you to lay down your weapons and wait for our inspection. Otherwise, I will regard you as continuing to resist, and I cannot guarantee your lives!"

Charles Elliot still had his pride and said in English: "We have surrendered. Weapons are our pride as soldiers and we cannot put them down!"

How could Meng Tian understand English? When the voice reached his ears, it was all gibberish.

He walked forward and looked at the other person: "Are you a British general?"

"YES!"

Meng Tian slapped the man in the face and said, "Stop choking! Speak Chinese!"

Covering his face, Charles Elliot found it a little hard to believe.

Even if he was defeated in the war, no one had ever dared to treat him like this, and the Central Plains dynasty had always treated others with courtesy.

However, after being slapped, he finally stopped speaking English: "Although I was defeated, you can't humiliate me!"

Meng Tian chuckled: "If you lose a battle, you must be aware of your defeat. This is not because you can speak Chinese, but because you have to be slapped. I am letting you know the current situation! Now let all your men lay down their weapons and squat over there honestly. Otherwise, this general can think that you are continuing to fight!"

He repeated what he had just said in Chinese.

Meng Tian sneered: "It seems that you still don't recognize the reality. The guidance you received is not enough. Do you want me to continue to guide you?"

Charles Elliot's face changed slightly, and he could only ask all the British troops to lay down their weapons and accept inspection obediently.

"The helmsman stays here, and everyone else gets on that boat!"

With all the prisoners and spoils.

Zhu Di turned around and left.

News of the Royal Navy's defeat and capture reached John Bull.

Caused a huge shock.

The entire parliament couldn't believe this was true.

When the Qing Dynasty was still in existence, John Bull had already conducted a thorough investigation of the entire Qing Dynasty.

The industry is zero and the navy's combat capability is totally incomparable to John Bull.

Dalong defeated the Qing Dynasty, but it would take time for industry to develop.

It is simply impossible to bring about earth-shaking changes in a short period of time.

"Impossible, this can't be true!"

"How could the Royal Navy be defeated by a closed, poor and backward country?"

"It must be the commander's fault. He gave orders recklessly, which led to this result!"

"But according to the information we have obtained and the feedback from the visiting groups, the Dalong Navy has amazing combat power and its cannons have a range far beyond ours. It is a completely one-sided trend!"

"Even if Dalong replaced Daqing, it is impossible for it to change so much in such a short period of time. Other countries must be secretly helping us and deliberately targeting us. We must investigate thoroughly!"

"Send a diplomatic mission to Dalong and sternly warn them to release all hostages immediately and compensate us for our losses. Otherwise, the entire Royal Navy will be sent out next time, and Dalong will not be able to resist!"

Some lawmakers are not optimistic based on the intelligence currently available.

"That continent has always stood at the top of the world. No one has been able to shake it for thousands of years. Perhaps there are secrets that we don't know about. Before we have a perfect plan, we should try to avoid conflict with it. The captured soldiers and warships can be redeemed with some money!"

"Since Dalong was able to defeat several fleets, it fully demonstrates the strength of Dalong's navy, whether it is its own or assisted by other countries. The journey is long, and we cannot send all the Royal Navy to Dalong. Otherwise, those colonies may change!"

"We should make friends with the Great Dragon and send people to learn why their warships have a range far exceeding that of the Royal Navy. Once other countries master this skill first, the situation will become even worse for us."

The pro-war faction and the pro-peace faction have been arguing in the conference room.

Zhu Ming looked at the more than 2 British soldiers who were tied up neatly.

I thought that the Opium War would never be the same again.

In the history of the Qing Dynasty, there is no record of capturing 20,000 British soldiers in one battle.

"Yes, they all look strong. They are all assigned to the construction site. They work during the day and learn Chinese at night. They take exams every month. Tell them that anyone who can't learn will not only have to work harder, but also won't have food to eat!"

Charles Elliot protested loudly: "We have surrendered. As the Celestial Empire, you should treat us well and guarantee us three meals a day instead of asking us to work. What you are doing is not in accordance with the Law of John Bull!"

Zhu Ming sneered: "Think about it, you John Bulls are enslaving people all over the world. Why didn't you say you violated John Bull's law at that time? The key is, what does your John Bull's law have to do with me? Take them all away and disperse them to avoid causing trouble!"

Deal with the prisoners.

Zhu Ming said to Wude Fang Xuanling: "Those warships will all be ours from now on. Find some skilled technicians and study them carefully!"

Wude Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will arrange this matter immediately!"

Finish dealing with this loot.

Zhu Ming said to Zhu Di: "General, this time we should take the initiative to attack. I tried it before, and Li Jinglong has already run the map. In John Bull's territory, whether it is the port or the inland, or even the nearby sea area, there are places that can be teleported.

Bring more soldiers and cargo ships this time. Opium has earned hundreds of millions of taels of silver from us, and has also made millions of our people addicted to opium, turning them into neither human nor ghost. We must demand compensation from them!"

Zhu Di agreed very much: "Brother, what you said is right. By the way, you mentioned before that during the Opium War, the Qing Dynasty signed the first unequal Treaty of Nanjing in modern history. I guess that when people in the future mention the founding of the Qing Dynasty, they will probably refer to modern history.

We also have to sign a treaty this time, and of course, it is a very equal treaty for us.”

Zhu Ming nodded:
The contents of the Treaty of Nanjing are briefly summarized as follows:
Article 1: From now on, the Qing Dynasty and Britain will always be at peace and their people will be friendly. Both countries will guarantee the safety of each other's citizens.

Article 2: Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Ningbo, Shanghai and other five ports are open to trade and commerce, and British citizens and their families are allowed to reside and establish consulates;

Article 3: Cession of Hong Kong Island;
Article 4: Compensation: The Qing government paid 2100 million silver dollars to Britain, of which 600 million silver dollars were used to compensate for the burned opium, 1200 million silver dollars were used to compensate for British military expenses, and 300 million silver dollars were used to repay the debts of merchants. The money was to be paid in four years. If it was not paid in full on time, an interest of 4 silver dollars would be added to every 5 yuan per year. Article 5: Release all arrested British people;
Article 6: Release of arrested Chinese working for the British;

Article 7: Negotiate and determine the tariffs on goods imported by British merchants;

Article 8: It stipulates that British envoys and Chinese officials shall have equal etiquette in exchanging notes;

Article 9: Britain will withdraw its troops after signing the agreement and paying the first indemnity;
Article 10: After the leaders of Qing and Britain sign this treaty, two copies will be kept by each of them.

These two originals can still be seen in the museum!
Zhu Ming continued, "This time we go with full sincerity, and the cabinet is responsible for drafting a "Rotary Squatting Treaty"!"

Arriving at the port, the huge fleet moved away from the coast.

Zhu Ming took a deep breath and opened his eyes suddenly: "Let's go!"

A huge black passage appeared ahead.

One warship after another sailed in and disappeared into the sea.

The surrounding environment seems to have not changed much and is still on the sea.

Zhu Di holds a telescope in his hand.

"This place is not far from the coastline. I wonder what is ahead?"

Zhu Ming said: "We are now in the English Channel. Hurry up and rescue that fishing boat. Our soldiers risked their lives to set up the teleportation point here."

Zhu Di asked: "Should we attack directly now?"

Zhu Ming shook his head: "John Bull is not the Qing Dynasty. Its coastal defense is very strong. Those coastal defense cannons pose a great threat to us. Even if we take them down, we will suffer considerable losses. I will bring 100,000 land forces over there. In this era, our navy and army are both number one!"

After saying that, Zhu Ming disappeared on the boat.

Battleships carry limited forces.

There are also hundreds of thousands of troops ready at Dalong at any time.

"Brother Li, this is a map that Li Jinglong got. It shows a coastal city in John Bull, but the specific defensive force is not clear. I estimate that there won't be too many troops. You need to lead the troops to take it down!"

Wude Li Jing took the map and glanced at it: "Don't worry, Dragon Emperor. Judging from the captured British troops, their weapons and equipment are obviously inferior to ours. It won't be a problem to capture them!"

"That's fine. You lead an army of 200,000 and take it down as quickly as possible. Don't worry about the guns and ammunition. Pay attention to other directions. There may be reinforcements. After all, we know very little about the situation there!"

John Bull Domestic.

The House of Representatives is still discussing fiercely how to deal with the dragon.

After all, after dominating the world for so long, this is the first time I have encountered such a situation.

At this time, a group of soldiers hurried in to report.

"A huge strange fleet appeared in the sea ten miles away, with various warships, conservatively estimated to be hundreds!"

The congressmen who were discussing the matter fell silent instantly.

The Queen stood up and asked, "What did you say? Hundreds of warships, how is that possible?"

"Even our powerful John Bull has difficulty gathering hundreds of warships. Are you sure you are not mistaken?"

The soldier said hurriedly: "We all saw it, we were not mistaken, there are at least more than 400!"

The officials present still couldn't believe it.

"Do you know what the consequences of lying are?"

Several soldiers nodded and said, "Of course we know, but we are sure that we are not lying!"

"Do you know which country's warship this is?"

“There are flags hanging, but we don’t recognize them.”

The Queen held out a flag and asked, "Look, is this the flag?"

"Yes, yes, that's the flag!"

I heard several soldiers' certain tones.

The officials present gasped.

"Big Dragon Battle Flag!"

"Impossible. The dragon is tens of thousands of miles away from us. How could it appear in this place?"

"According to the intelligence we received earlier, the number of Dalong warships is beyond imagination. It is not impossible to dispatch a fleet of hundreds of warships at once. However, the journey is so long. With their finances, how can they support such a large fleet for ocean voyages?"

"What I am more concerned about is how they could appear in this sea area quietly?"

"This is a matter of great importance. We must send someone to check it out again. It feels a little unreal. Maybe it's some kind of trick. The Yanhuang people have been passed down for thousands of years and are most familiar with various military tactics. Maybe it's just a trick?"

If a few of Dalong's warships appeared, it was possible, but it was a bit hard to believe that hundreds of them appeared thousands of miles away. The key point was that there was no news before, which was simply impossible!

There are patrol fleets all around, and with so many warships appearing, it is impossible not to see them.

The verification personnel sent out left not long ago.

Haiphong sent another message.

Dalong's army of 200,000 suddenly appeared in Brighton with fierce firepower. Brighton was in danger and could be lost at any time!
Once again the House was shocked.

Since the Industrial Revolution, we have never thought that one day we would be invaded on our homeland.

Brighton is less than a hundred kilometers away from Lundun. Once Brighton is captured, Lundun will be very dangerous.

"Assemble the Royal Navy immediately and call back all the warships that have been sent to other places. We must destroy this fleet that dares to enter the Channel. Also mobilize troops to defend Brighton and drive the enemy into the sea. Without supplies, no matter how powerful the enemy is, it is just a lion with its teeth pulled out!"

"As long as we cut off the supply, the enemy will collapse on their own!"

Queen John Bull heaved a sigh of relief after listening to the congressman's advice. Confidence returned to her face, and she issued various decrees calmly.

Such big news cannot be concealed at all.

Over the past hundred years, John Bull, who once dominated the world and was invincible, has actually been beaten by others!
Now, the war has spread to their own land, plunging the entire country into unprecedented panic.

Countless demonstrators poured into the streets, waving placards and shouting slogans: "Oppose war!" "Peace! Peace!"

The sounds were deafening, one after another.

The already busy parliament was now even more overwhelmed by various issues.

However, no matter what, the sudden change brought a heavy blow to John Bull, making them realize that the Eastern Dragon was completely different from their previous opponents and was an existence that should not be provoked! (End of this chapter)
