Wild North America 1846

Chapter 423 An exciting scene in history

"I humbly kneel at your feet, begging for your majesty's mercy and forgiveness. The Duke of Marlborough's family solemnly promises that they will never be enemies of the Tang Empire in the future, and are willing to become a loyal servant and friend of the imperial royal family. I beg for your forgiveness.

."

Churchill, Duke of Marlborough, prostrated on the bloody and pungent dueling grass and swore an oath tremblingly.

Richard stood proudly with his hands behind his back. The blood on his hands had been washed away, and the blood-stained robes had been changed, but the strong smell of blood still lingered on him, lingering.

"I accept your humble oath. I hope that the Duke of Marlborough family will become a bridge of friendship between Britain and the Tang Empire in the future, do more to promote the close friendship between the two countries, and oppose some clown performances. This is in line with the interests of both of us.

Benefit."

Richard's gentle expression had actually trampled the honor of the British royal family and nobles under his feet.

He originally didn't want to be high-profile and show off, but some people insisted on forcing him to show his face, so he had to go with the flow.

His Royal Highness Edward, Prince of Wales, who was standing aside, his eyelids twitched fiercely a few times, and he was speechless when he looked at Lord Heinkel, who also had an ugly face;

The meaning seems to be; you see I made a mistake, why don't you remind me?

The gray-haired Royal Lord of the Admiralty, Lord Heinkel, ignored him. What he saw today simply overturned his views. Even though he was well-informed, he had never seen a 1v23 close-quarters battle, and he also fought.

Won.

Everyone's impression of this noble Eastern Emperor is that he struck hard and was extremely brave. He slashed down with one strike and knocked down the British nobleman standing in front of him with his sword. Even the iron shield could not block a few blows.

He kicked him up and even the man and his shield were kicked away.

There doesn't seem to be anything special about him, except that his sword strikes are fast and heavy, his movements are fast, and his strikes are ruthless and deadly. He is indeed the legendary "Charlie the Devil"! He kills people like a fool.

under a war

Of the 23 nobles, 19 were killed and 3 were seriously injured. Only one person, Duke Churchill, managed to escape, and he was also slightly injured.

Duke Churchill was hit hard by an iron shield. The bridge of his nose was completely broken, the left owl bone of his face was shattered, 7 teeth were knocked out, and his mouth was filled with blood.

Now his face is all swollen, like a steamed bun with dough, and his eyes are squeezed into a line, and it's so pitifully bruised and swollen.

If Richard doesn't forgive him, he will probably faint.

Therefore, Duke Churchill's humble words came out without money, which made the British nobles who were watching the excitement feel ashamed and their faces changed.

There are only a small number of British nobles, and they are the most valuable and important noble titles among the royal families in Europe. The Duke of Churchill is one of only a few dukes with foreign surnames outside the British royal family, and his status is extremely honorable.

After today's battle, it can be said that I was completely embarrassed.

neither knows

Richard used only two points of his skills, intending to intimidate all the young people in England and set a monument for the royal family of the Tang Dynasty that was difficult to achieve by other European royal families.

Therefore, he deliberately took action slowly so that all the nobles who were watching could see clearly.

If you really want to use all your strength, then in the blink of an eye, 23 opponents will fall down like wheat.

It doesn't take more than 10 minutes at all. It doesn't take more than a minute to kill these chickens and dogs, and then you can call it a day, but it's too shocking.

Too much is never enough, that's the truth.

"In this situation, we can only ask Her Majesty Queen Victoria to personally come forward to clean up the mess. Neither Her Highness nor I can suppress the situation tonight. Anyway, we will lose face today." Lord Heinkel shook his head with a wry smile, admitting defeat, which showed that he was aboveboard and aboveboard.

The style of an old-school British aristocrat.

This is telling the truth

His Majesty, the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty, showed his sharpness. Looking at the prostrate Duke Churchill at his feet, Edward, Prince of Wales, felt a lump of depression stuck in his throat. He couldn't swallow and couldn't spit it out.

Standing in front of His Majesty Richard, I always feel a cramp in my calves.

"Ahem... That's all it has happened so far. As soon as the Emperor of the East came, the whole of London was in chaos. Prime Minister Temple unfortunately died suddenly, Lord Igtz-Leitz broke his neck, and now he has broken his neck again.

This incident is simply..." His Royal Highness Edward, Prince of Wales, said with a depressed expression.

He couldn't find a suitable adjective, so he simply shut up.

Lord Heinkel said nonchalantly: "Lord Igts-Leitz and these idiots who challenge the royal authority can't blame others. God has already made a decision, and we can only accept it whether it is right or wrong.

As for poor Lord Temple, I can only say that he died too suddenly.

But according to Lord Temple's always tough attitude, seeing such a humiliating scene today, he would probably burst a blood vessel and would definitely not be able to survive the end of the royal banquet.

Please be more open-minded, Your Highness Edward, the legendary experience of this Eastern monarch is not for nothing. It will be beneficial to both of us to truly improve the relationship between the two parties.

The advanced breech-loading gun technology, new high-explosive technology, and trigger fuze technology that the Royal Navy has always longed for must be obtained. I will never tolerate the Royal Navy's artillery technology falling behind the times. It is urgent to make up for this lesson.

The negotiations have been going on for three or four years and it's time to end.

Interim Prime Minister John Russell is a soft-tempered person, and I hope he can be urged to stop insisting on a tough stance in the package negotiations and give him some sweeteners. The barren and cold land in northwest Canada is not suitable for human habitation at all. What is the use of keeping it in hand?

There is also the issue of Toronto Canal tolls. Prime Minister Temple thought that this could block the export channels of the Tang Empire, but this was not the case.

From New York to Philadelphia, from Boston to New Jersey to Miami, as well as Baltimore and Houston on the south coast, as well as a series of ports on the Gulf of Mexico, there are really not too many ports that the Tang Empire can export to. How can a mere Toronto canal be stuck?

Live in someone else's house?

Isn’t this a daytime paranoia?

The tough approach adopted by Lord Temple has actually harmed the fundamental interests of the United Kingdom, because the interests of the Royal Navy are the fundamental interests of the United Kingdom."

Lord Heinkel clearly saw Her Majesty Queen Victoria approaching surrounded by everyone, but instead deliberately said loudly.

When Prime Minister Temple was still alive, without the strong support of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, it would have been impossible to stop the huge political power of the friendly Royal Navy from turning the relationship between Britain and Tang into a mess.

It doesn't matter to the Tang Empire. Anyway, if you have nothing to do, let's negotiate!

The Royal Navy of the British Empire was extremely anxious and couldn't wait any longer.

Because the large-scale steam iron-clad battleships built by the Royal Navy in the past three years are still equipped with the traditional British Armstrong 305 mm caliber steel hoop cannon, which is an era behind the Colt breech-loading cannon equipped by the Tang Empire Navy, and still relies on iron.

Tuo Tuo hits people.

The so-called steel hoop gun is to put steel hoops on the cast gun to enhance the strength of the barrel.

After the emergence of this technology in the early to mid-19th century, the caliber of naval artillery soared from more than 100 mm. The latest batch of 305 mm artillery of the British Royal Navy also used this kind of steel hoop muzzle-loading gun, code-named RML305 mm 25-ton gun and 35-ton gun.

tons of guns, all manufactured and produced by the Royal Arsenal of Armstrong of the British Navy, and are currently equipped on a total of 7 ironclad ships of the British Navy.

Navy main guns are not so easy to replace, especially the 281mm breech-loading guns newly developed by the Tang Empire, which adopt a gun rotation structure and a bilge powder magazine mechanical lifting structure.

If you really want to change the equipment, you have to either build a new ship or disassemble the old ship, otherwise you won't be able to equip it.

When he thought that the British Royal Navy, which dominated the seven seas, was still beating people with iron lumps and was a whole generation behind the advanced level, Lord Heinkel felt an urge to kill and destroy all obstacles in front of him.

Britain also has the technical strength to develop breech-loading cannons. The key is that it is useless to simply equip breech-loading cannons. It must be combined with advanced high-explosive shells and warhead fuze technology to form a crushing advantage.

Then this involves the research and development of nitroglycerin explosives, mercury fulminate trigger fuzes and other world-leading chemical technologies. However, the British Empire's research and development level in this area is not high, so it is embarrassing.

"I understand, my Lord the Admiralty, there is no need to complain there deliberately. Prime Minister John Russell will know the needs of the Royal Navy and make appropriate arrangements. Now shut up!" Queen Victoria is 1.55 meters tall and has 2

Mi 55's aura came over and scolded him with an unhappy expression.

Lord Heinkel got an answer he was satisfied with. He didn't mind showing a humble chivalry in front of Her Majesty the Queen. He held his chest with a humble expression and greeted: "Your Majesty the Queen, your humble knight Heinkel surrenders under the skirt."

, willing to defend the oath of loyalty until death and share the worries of His Majesty."

"Okay, Heinkel, and you... Mr. Duke Churchill, if he can stand up... Oh, you go and help him." Queen Victoria looked at Duke Churchill raising his head miserably, his face covered with bruises.

Like a pig's head, he quickly ordered angrily and urgently.

Everyone helped Duke Churchill, who smelled like urine, up, and then carried him away with all his hands.

Halfway through, the poor Mr. Duke fainted.

His oath was indeed confirmed;

Tonight everyone will witness the glorious glory of the Duke of Marlborough family, and nobles from all over Europe will be witnesses of this historic duel, just as the losing side.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the East, I regret your tough tactics. Now the British aristocracy will become a joke throughout Europe. Is there anything you want to say to me?"

"Her Majesty Queen Victoria, I am deeply sorry for this. When faced with malicious challenges, I am accustomed to beating their stretched-out heads into pig heads. The dignity of the sacred imperial power cannot be provoked. It is more meaningful to take action personally.

After all, I haven’t stretched my muscles for a long time.”

"Okay, let it pass. After all, those who provoke the sacred imperial power should pay the price." Queen Victoria acted decisively and nodded in agreement. Her eyes fell on the three tall and heroic figures behind Richard with interest.

The prince thought about it briefly and said;

"Your Highness, I like these three princes very much. You can come to Buckingham Palace when you have time. Edward will entertain you."

"Thank you for your kindness, Her Majesty the Queen. Then I will accept it on behalf of the three of them." Richard responded with a warm expression.

This is an unforgettable night

The extremely luxurious royal banquet and the gathering of top European nobles, gentlemen and ladies, as well as the exciting 1v23 duel, are all big news that has shocked the whole of Europe.

The most excited people were the reporters on the scene from The Times. They knew they were witnessing an exciting scene in history.
