    AD 1642, the fifteenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, was a year of major historical turning point for both the East and the West.  In this year, the Qing army captured Songshan, Hong Chengchou and Zu Dashou were captured and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and all the elite troops in Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty were lost.  This year, Li Zicheng surrounded Kaifeng and dug up the Yellow River to flood Kaifeng. He then defeated Sun Chuanting in Jiaxian County, defeated Zuo Liangyu in Zhuxian Town, and sent troops to occupy Xiangyang.  For the Ming Dynasty in the East, this year it had no power to fight back either externally or internally, and it officially entered a year of "sitting and waiting to die".  This year, in the distant United Kingdom, a major event that affected the direction of world history also occurred: Charles I directly announced a "crusade against Parliament," and the first British Civil War broke out.  It was in this year that the radical bourgeois revolutionary Cromwell ushered in the most significant turning point in his life.  He commanded a cavalry regiment of 60 volunteers with the rank of captain and began his journey to the top of his life.  During the two civil wars that lasted for six years, Cromwell gradually became the main general on the side of Parliament by virtue of his outstanding military command skills.  Finally, in August 1648, he led his army to defeat Charles I's army and captured Charles I.  In January 1649, the House of Lords of the British Parliament declared itself to be the representative of the highest power in the United Kingdom, and the House of Commons declared itself to be the supreme power of the country.  Britain became a de facto republic.  Cromwell was appointed one of the judges to try Charles I.  On the 30th, Charles I was guillotined.  The British bourgeois revolution was victorious and the feudal monarchy was overthrown on May 19.  Britain is declared a republic.  ¡°However, the first fruits of the bourgeoisie¡¯s victory fell heavily into the hands of the gentry and aristocrats, which aroused dissatisfaction among many lower-class people.  In order to protect his own interests, Cromwell began to despise the lower classes. He used force to suppress the Dragoon Uprising and the Digger Movement.  On August 1, 1649, Cromwell, as Lieutenant General of Ireland and Commander-in-Chief of the Irish Legion, led a fleet and 10,000 soldiers to leave the capital and launched an attack on Ireland.  But in May 1650, the battle was not over.  Cromwell was recalled to the country.  Cromwell was appointed commander-in-chief of the entire armed forces of the Republic and returned to battle.  Send troops to defeat Scotland.  Scotland became a British colony.  When Cromwell returned to London, the capital held an unprecedented grand welcome ceremony for him, and the command of the British navy and army was in his hands alone.  At this time, Cromwell's prestige reached its peak and was well known abroad.     Now.  Cromwell, who held the barrel of Britain's gun, no longer wanted to be manipulated by Parliament. He was ready to once again use actions to explain a truth: political power comes from the barrel of a gun.  He and Xinfu¡¯s subordinate Lan Bai are actively planning to use force to force Parliament to hand over all power and make themselves the de facto "kings" of England, Scotland, and Ireland.  Zhang Haoran faced such a careerist who "is always worried about villains".  Across the negotiating table, Cromwell went into battle in person, with a serious look on his face, which formed a strong visual contrast with the flowers in the middle of the table.  "Okay, distinguished Commander. I would like to ask, with all due respect, whether Commander has been authorized by the British Parliament for this meeting. If the talks reach an agreement, will the British Parliament recognize it?" Zhang Haoran showed a faint smile.  It seems calm and calm.  But these words, in Cromwell's view, were deeply offensive to him and made him a little angry.  "Dear Commander. I have come all the way from Great Qin with the sincerity of Great Qin. I attach great importance to this meeting. This may be a meeting that lays the foundation for the ever-lasting friendship between the two countries. This envoy represents me, the Emperor of Great Qin."  The British Parliament has declared itself to be the highest authority representative of the United Kingdom. Therefore, I need to get a positive answer before I can start a formal meeting with the Commander. If there is any offense, please forgive me.¡±  "I represent the people of England, Scotland, and Ireland, and I am having talks with the Ambassador." Cromwell's resolute face naturally showed a hint of pride. In his opinion, Zhang Haoran was just a messenger, and he came in person.  Talking to Zhang Haoran is already a compliment to Zhang Haoran. It is really unreasonable for him to dare to question his qualifications for talks.  His answer was brief, but it revealed a lot of information and also revealed his ambition.  Zhang Haoran said elegantly: "Well, I am very honored to have this meeting with the Commander. The two countries now have very good trade exchanges. If I want to further develop the friendly relations between the two countries, we should first solve it pragmatically."  Some differences between the two countries have laid a solid foundation for cooperation. Do you think so, Commander?The only way to resolve differences is to find fault first, and Cromwell knew enough about this.  But just when he was about to speak, Zhang Haoran, who had always been calm and clear-minded, jumped in and said, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, what I, the Emperor of Qin, don't want to see the most is a lack of distinction between politics and religion. I believe this, and Your Excellency also expresses my deep gratitude for this." Agreed. Now, our Qin soldiers are fighting against the Mughal army in India, in order to change the phenomenon of secular rule in the name of religion; However, as far as I know, your country still has We are providing weapons to the Mughal Dynasty. Because of this behavior of your country, many brave soldiers of our Qin Dynasty paid their precious lives. What I want to say is that if your country does not stop this behavior immediately, I am afraid. It will be difficult to truly establish friendly relations between the two countries." General Lanbai, who was sitting next to Cromwell, couldn't help but retorted: "Dear Ambassador, our country and the Mughal Dynasty had a relationship many years ago. Trade relations have been established. The Qin State had not yet been established at that time, let alone set foot in India. Now the Qin State suddenly entered the Indian Ocean and supported the small countries in the middle to fight against the Mughal Dynasty. It did not communicate with our country in advance. How can the responsibility be passed on to my country? "General Lan Bai, don't get excited. If Daqin wants to hold you accountable, I'm afraid the person who came here is not the envoy. But having said that, the two countries did not establish diplomatic relations before, so your country's behavior can be forgiven." ; But now that the two countries are about to establish diplomatic relations, your country's sales of weapons to the Mughal Dynasty should be stopped immediately to show the sincerity of establishing diplomatic relations. " Cromwell and Lan Bai quietly exchanged a look. From an objective point of view, Zhang Haoran¡¯s request is not excessive; but it touches on the lifeblood of Britain. The reason why Britain was able to replace the Netherlands as the most important trading partner of the Mughal Dynasty and gradually penetrate into the Mughal Empire The core of power of the dynasty finally obtained the tax-free franchise from the Mughals by providing weapons to the Mughals.  Now the Mughals have sent 150,000 troops to attack Ottessa and other countries in the south. They are trying to unify the entire Indian continent and are in urgent need of British arms support. If arms sales to the Mughals are stopped at this time, it will be almost a disaster.  The act of withdrawing the ladder undoubtedly made the Mughals very unhappy.  So it is almost impossible for Britain to enjoy tax exemptions and various preferential policies in the Mughals.  Even British merchants could be expelled from the Mughal Empire.  ¡°Then the British interests in India will disappear, which will only make matters worse for Britain, which already has a very serious fiscal deficit.  Thinking of these consequences, Cromwell said resolutely: "Our country's trade with the Mughals only accounts for a small share in weapons. Moreover, as far as I know, your country has invested very few troops in India, and most of them are military instructors.  Yes, the small amount of backward weapons we sold to the Mughals will not pose a threat to your country's army at all. What's more, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and other countries are now selling weapons to the Mughals  ¡± ¡°Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief!¡± Zhang Haoran interrupted Cromwell rudely, ¡°It¡¯s really a pity that this envoy was sent by our Emperor Qin and came here with great sincerity, but now it seems that  Come on, the Commander-in-Chief does not seem to be sincere in establishing diplomatic relations with me, Daqin. So please forgive me, it seems that there is no need for us to continue the talks." Zhang Haoran didn't mention anything else, why did he have to mention the British to give the Mughals in advance.  What about weapons?  Did the weapons provided by the British really pose a major threat to the Qin army soldiers?  No, the reason is actually very simple. Zhang Haoran also knows that this is the lifeline of Britain in India. If it seizes this lifeline, Britain will no longer have any advantage in India. Even without Great Qin snatching it, Britain will lose its original possessions in India.  Interests.  He asked Britain to stop providing weapons to the Mughals. The reason was high-sounding, but it was a seven-inch key to locking Britain away.  PS: We will continue to add more updates today, please support with monthly votes!  Urgently looking for monthly tickets!  Dear brothers and sisters, "Ming Yang Tian Xia" has exceeded 3 million words.
