Milton's reputation in later generations is too great, and it is difficult for Zhao Han not to know.
The pioneer of the democratic revolution in Europe, one of the six greatest British poets, and the patriarch who advocated freedom of speech and the press.
"See Your Majesty the Emperor!"
"Give me a seat."
As soon as Milton sat down, he stood up again: "On behalf of the Republic of England and the respected Commander-in-Chief Mr. Cromwell, I would like to extend my highest greetings to His Majesty the Emperor of China. May the friendship between the two countries last forever!"
Zhao Han smiled and said, "Send hello to Mr. Cromwell on my behalf."
What Milton said just now was not nonsense.
After the King of England was cut off, the country was ruled by Parliament. In fact, Britain is indeed a republic.
Milton could not have predicted that it was Cromwell, whom he had always admired and upheld, who destroyed the Republic and completely betrayed the revolution. He devoted himself to Cromwell, but in two years, Cromwell will disperse Parliament and rule as a dictatorship as "Lord Protector".
Milton: "Your Majesty the Emperor, there are stories of His Majesty's great restoration of the country in the UK and throughout Europe. The Commander-in-Chief of our country, Mr. Cromwell, has always admired His Majesty's reputation, so let me lead a delegation to visit China."
Zhao Han asked with great interest: "What stories are I spreading in Europe?"
Milton: "Your Majesty is a former royal family who lost their country. The emperor of China was so brutal that the rebels captured the capital and the emperor was killed by the rebels. However, your majesty raised troops as a former royal family and defeated the hateful The rebels, finally restored the glory of the ancestors."
"It's pretty good at making it up," Zhao Han couldn't help laughing, and said to Tong Shi, "There is no need to translate this sentence, just follow him as you like."
The general officer of Honglu Temple nonsense said: "Your Majesty, the news from Europe is very well-informed."
Milton flattered a few words, and said: "I was in India and heard the news that the Chinese army defeated the Netherlands. This is really exciting. Britain and China have the same enemy, and that is the damn Netherlands. Heartfelt congratulations, Your Majesty, and His valiant army."
Zhao Han asked: "Britain is also at war with the Netherlands?"
Milton replied: "There must be a war. The Netherlands is too greedy. They have merchant ships all over every sea area in Europe. They want to monopolize all the benefits. They even control the business in the UK and use the threat of loan collection to force the British Give up what should belong to your own rights."
"It shouldn't be," Zhao Han went on, "the Netherlands is doing the same thing in Asia, even occupying China's territory, massacring and oppressing the Chinese living in Taiwan. That's why I sent troops to drive the Dutch out of Taiwan. The Netherlands is the most Despicable country!"
Milton said happily: "Our country can go to war with the Netherlands in Europe, and China can go to war with the Netherlands in Asia. The little Netherlands will definitely not be able to fight on both sides. At that time, Your Majesty will be able to drive the Netherlands out of Asia!"
Zhao Han said: "Unfortunately, China and the Netherlands have signed a ten-year contract. As the emperor of China, I cannot break my promise. It is despicable to tear up the contract."
"Teach those despicable Dutchmen a lesson, and you won't look despicable by any means." Milton continued to fight.
Zhao Han said ambiguously: "That's true, but China's previous battles have caused heavy naval losses. Britain can fight in Europe first, and China will respond."
This is nonsense. With the existing communication technology, it is estimated that the first Anglo-Dutch war is over, and China has not received the news yet.
At this moment, Cromwell has just promulgated the "Navigation Regulations", the general content: Non-British ships are not allowed to carry goods into the United Kingdom and its colonies. Once discovered, the ship and the goods will be confiscated directly.
This regulation is obviously to fight against the Netherlands, because the British import trade is about to be monopolized by Dutch businessmen.
Two years ago, the United Kingdom signed a treaty with Denmark, and British cargo ships can pass through the Sond Strait duty-free. This is the United Kingdom and Denmark teaming up to weaken the influence of the Netherlands in the Baltic Sea, because the three Nordic countries have also been pitted by the Netherlands. The Netherlands not only monopolizes the Nordic sea trade, but also expands its business power to the Nordic land, using its monopoly position to frantically suppress prices and squeeze profits.
The reason why Cromwell dared to promulgate the "Navigation Regulations" was because Britain and the Netherlands had just concluded an arms deal.
The capital ships currently in service in the Netherlands, and the best of them, have all been sold to the British Navy, and if they don¡¯t have enough money, they still have to find a loan from a Dutch businessman.
The Dutch also felt that they made money, not only disposing of the surplus warships expanded during the Thirty Years War, but also lending money to the UK to earn more interest. It's a win-win, the Netherlands wins twice!
Milton saw that Zhao Han was fooling around.Feeling: "What kind of great country is this? It has a population of hundreds of millions, and the capital alone has tens of thousands of students. If these students are formed into an army, it only takes one year of training, and the whole world can't find an opponent." .¡±
Marvell: "As envoys, we should push China to form an alliance with Britain. India is the overlord of South Asia, and we have already won the favor of the Mughal emperor. China is the overlord of the Far East. If we can get the favor of the Chinese emperor, Britain can replace it. Holland's position in Asia, seizing all of Holland's interests in Asia."
"It is probably very difficult to directly request an alliance," Milton said. "You can invite Chinese officials to visit the UK. Let Chinese officials see that the UK is really confronting the Netherlands. Perhaps in the case of a common enemy, It can quickly bring the relationship between the two countries closer.¡±
