Chapter 759 Either take a bath or break the head

"It's too late to retreat, just kneel down to welcome the king's army."

Duke Philip looked at the Ming cavalry corps that had already taken the south of Paris, and thought that Prous's 100,000 troops did not come back in time, so he naturally had no time to take into account the newspapers and ordinary merchants and civilians who had turned against him. Even himself had to propose direct surrender to the European nobles who were still in Paris.

Louis XV had to nod and said, "It seems that this is the only way."

"I didn't expect the Ming army to be so fast. The 50,000 Great Alliance troops that we still stayed in Paris did not resist all surrender?"

Lehmann, the Count from the Principal of Venice, asked unwillingly.

"Yes, if I had known this, I would not defend Paris. Now the nearly 300,000 troops on the Ardennes line cannot evacuate in time, and they must be left here by the Ming army! But these are the last forces that our entire European alliance can draw! Many of them are fourteen or five years old, and they will all be annihilated by the Ming army. What else will the Holy See and other southern European countries use to resist the Ming army?!"

Archbishop Massod, the representative of the Principal of Savoy, also said with concern.

Therefore, Kahn, the representative sent by the Holy See, "By the way, the other 100,000 troops led by your general Prouss, have they gone to the north? Get back quickly. Perhaps they can block the Ming army together and let us withdraw in time."

"They have not come back, and I don't know where they are now, but it is certain that we have no other choice now! Before the Ming army completely surrounded the city of Paris, we have the merit of surrendering! Do you understand?!"

Philip asked loudly as he spoke.

Now he is more and more regretting the decision to let his brother fall into the water.

"Okay! Then let's go outside the city to welcome each other. It seems that we will have to take a shower in the future."

Lehman said helplessly.

"Why!"

Massod also sighed: "The freedom to not take a bath will never be gone."

Kahn said, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with taking a bath. Maybe God sent Orientals to rule us just to correct our incorrect understanding of the world."

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

When the Ming army's tanks and tanks began to appear densely outside the city, many Parisian citizens had already begun to gather outside the city and began to shout slogans.

However, their Chinese proficiency is limited, so they can only shout the word "Long Live".

At the same time, citizens of Paris began to set up incense tables in front of the door, holding Zhu Youxiao's throne, expressing their sincerity in submitting to the Ming army, so as to not rob them.

When Philip and Louis XV came out to greet each other, they happened to see these scenes. They did not expect that the people would surrender to the Ming army so quickly.

Faster than both of them.

Next, Philip and Louis XV and other European nobles also knelt outside Paris.

White flags were also hung on the castle.

In addition, tens of thousands of troops in Paris raised their hands and knelt on the ground to express their surrender.

Only the nearly 300,000 European Allied forces gathered in the Ardennes defense line did not know that the nobles and citizens of Paris had surrendered, and they were still immersed in the joy of regaining their positions.

The nearly 300,000 European Allied Forces in this area were just puzzled that the Ming army would no longer launch new offensives, and even if they took the initiative to attack, the Ming army would only take the initiative to retreat.

Some middle and high-level generals became suspicious and took the initiative to send people to the city of Paris to inquire.

Soon, the people sent by these middle and high-level generals met with those who came out of Paris City on behalf of the Grand Alliance Commission, who ordered them to surrender to the opposite Ming army on the spot.

Therefore, nearly 300,000 European Allied Forces soon had to light up the white flag to the Ming army opposite.

...

"Except for more than 200,000 French troops who withdrew from England despite the dangers of their king and capital, almost all the main forces of the entire European League were left in Paris and surrendered without fighting, and our combat goal was achieved."

Liu Zhaoji reported the final result to Zhu Cizhuo who had just arrived in Paris.

Zhu Cizhuo pinched his nose and said, "Very good! He ordered all the captured Western nobles and Western soldiers to take a bath. Damn it, it's so smelly, each of them smells so big!"

"Yes! What if they refuse?"

“Either take a shower or die!”

Zhu Cizhuo said coldly.

"yes!"

Therefore, next, except for some people who really wanted to defend their Western cultural customs to the death, most of them chose to obey the order of bathing.

But for this reason, within a month after the Ming army captured the city of Paris, the water of the Seine River was not red, but black.

In addition, because Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Dynasty issued an order to require the Ming Dynasty's Western Expedition Army to burn the Palace of Westminster in France like the navy's second expedition to England.

So, after the Ming army entering Versailles confiscated all the treasures of Versailles, they burned the French Palace in the same way.

"This is my French shame!"

Philip, who was temporarily detained in Versailles, said this depressedly after learning about Versailles Palace and cried: "Brother Wang! Philip is sorry for you!"

...

"The Palace of Versailles was burned down, and the king and many nobles were reduced to prison. It was me, Prous, who was sorry for them! I will always remember that the Ming Dynasty brought me the greatest shame ever to France!"

Prous and his 200,000 French troops have evacuated back to England, and after learning about the corresponding situation after the city of Paris was taken down by the Ming army, he angrily delivered his speech in the English parliament.

"General, you have not regretted them. Your decision is wise. The French people will praise you for your timely evacuation, because you have saved France's hope of restoring the country!"

Queen Mary II of the British, like Monmouth, highly praised Prous's behavior at this time.

Other British nobles also made such statements, praising Prous for withdrawing his 200,000 troops back to England, and to praise Prous as a great hero.

After all, the English nobles did need more strength to fight against the Ming army for them.

Therefore, Monmouth also specifically advocated: "We, Britain and France, need to unite closely to fight this Yellow Peril from the East!"

"That's right! We should withdraw to America in a planned manner, where the land is vast, which is more conducive to our resistance to the Ming army!"

English Cavendish proposed at this time.

As a result, almost all members of Congress agreed.

For the entire British ruling class, they have to admit that they cannot resist the Ming army by relying solely on the small island of Great Britain, and therefore they all agreed to go to America.
