London after the war seemed unusually quiet, especially in the early morning. The Atlantic current made the temperature here warm, but it also filled it with fog.
On a winter morning, amid the thick fog, the whole of London seemed exceptionally quiet.
The Spanish bullfighter who had been tossing all day yesterday is still sleeping soundly, preparing to gather enough energy to continue tormenting this dilapidated city. England, hiding in every corner, is still trembling, silently praying for the Spanish to come soon. Leave here, or your king can make a truce with their big city as soon as possible.
As for the English nobles, ministers, and royal family members in the Tower of London Castle, they also spent a sleepless night, especially Henry VII, who did not fall asleep the entire night.
The conditions put forward by Tian Erniu were too harsh for him, including a compensation of 10 million taels of silver and the cession of Cornwall. Once these conditions were agreed, England would not be able to rise for a hundred years.
What¡¯s more, there is a hungry Spain, and no one knows what kind of conditions they will put forward.
¡°Tap tap~ tap tap~¡±
The sound of neat steps echoed in the Tower of London Castle. This was the sound of Ming army soldiers walking around when patrolling here. They were neat and uniform. The sound of the special whale skin boots rubbing against the floor was so crisp.
"Your Majesty the King, it's time to get up. We have to negotiate with the Ming people and the Spanish later."
Henry VII¡¯s attendant came to remind him.
Well, the people of Ming Dynasty gave him the respect he deserved as a king, even keeping his attendants.
"I see."
Henry VII nodded and replied.
When the sun gradually rose, the sunshine dispersed the dense fog, revealing blue sky and white clouds. It was a very rare good weather.
A long table was placed on the grass in the center of the Tower of London Castle, covered with white cloth from the Ming Dynasty, and then placed with pen and ink. England's nobles, ministers, royal family members, etc. were all here, and they all looked different. They were very gentlemen, and some even had smiles on their faces. Only a few people who really cared about England's future were full of sorrow.
The arrival of Henry VII made many English nobles and ministers immediately quiet down. They all looked at Henry VII, and then waited patiently.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? can Almeida, Corste and other Spaniards can smile and can be seen laughing and talking with Tian Erniu, Jiang Liang and others.
"Tian, ??how about the girl from England?"
Almeida¡¯s face was flushed, and she thoroughly enjoyed everything the winner had to offer last night.
"Haha, not bad."
Tian Erniu smiled and replied.
"After we finish our business in England, we will go to France. When we win against France, we will have a good celebration again."
"Of course, but the French are not easy to win. You Spaniards can't take any advantage on land. If you just rely on warships, you won't pose much of a threat to the French."
"Yes, that's why I came to seek help from you, General."
"Our king has already written to me, requesting the general to join me in attacking Paris from the Seine. As long as the general is willing to contribute, the French have nothing to fear."
"I only have twenty warships and less than five thousand people. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you much."
"General, you are humble. As long as you are willing, with the bravery of the Ming soldiers, even only 5,000 people are enough to enter Paris. Then you can force Louis XII to sue for peace with us."
"No, no, I won't make fun of my soldiers. I can send battleships to follow you into the Seine River to provide you with vitality support, but I will never land for combat. My soldiers are all sailors after all, not professionals. of the Army.¡±
¡°But without your help, we would not have been able to bring the French to their knees.¡±
"Then it depends on you Spaniards. Our Ming Dynasty has fulfilled its responsibilities as an ally, helped you defeat the Portuguese and the English, and also eliminated the maritime threat on your side of the Mediterranean. I think our Ming Dynasty has done enough. ."
"this¡"
Hearing what Tian Erniu said, Almeida and Kolster fell silent. The Ming people were actually unwilling to help them attack Paris. This was going to be difficult.
The French are very powerful. They are called the number one brother in Europe. This is no joke. You must know that France was extremely powerful during this period.
?nbsp; "If we don't agree, we will be dead. Once we die, England will be leaderless. By then, the Ming Dynasty, the Spanish, and even the French, Scots, and Irish can easily divide us."
"Although these conditions are harsh, as long as we live, we are still aristocrats in England, and we can still live a noble life. It's just that the people below are more miserable, but who cares about that."
"Yes, Your Majesty the King, agree. Let's get through the present first. When we become stronger, we can still rely on our swords to take back everything we have lost."
Henry VII did not agree, but the nobles and ministers around him tried to persuade him. Even with the knife on his neck, why were you so stubborn? He quickly agreed and sent away these ancestors.
You can sign the agreement first, and you can find opportunities for revenge later.
"This~"
"All right."
Hearing the words of these nobles and ministers, Henry VII nodded helplessly.
Henry VII had no choice. Even though he was determined to die, the nobles and ministers around him were still afraid of death. Henry VII had no choice but to sign the agreement.
"Haha, you really can't reason with the robbers. You can only talk with your sword."
Seeing Henry VII sign the agreement, Almeida couldn't help but said happily.
Soon, this agreement, known as the "Treaty of London" in later generations, was signed in three languages. Because the treaty was extremely unequal, it also laid the foundation for the long-term hatred between Britain and Spain. the scourge of war.
