At this time, Charles I, who was sitting in the king's office at Windsor Castle, looked towards the window, and bursts of gunfire came from the direction of the port, reaching Charles I's ears.
Charles I frowned gradually, and he looked towards the port. "Where did the cannon sound come from? What's the matter? How can there be a cannon sound?"
Charles I looked puzzled, he couldn't figure out why there were cannon shots at this time.
Immediately afterwards, Charles I began to panic as if he remembered something.
"Could it be that those people in the parliament are going to make a move? Could it be that they made the sound of the guns?" Panic spread wildly on Charles I's face.
Charles I was completely flustered, he stood up hastily, and walked around the room, feeling uneasy.
Charles I was also afraid of death. Although he was very fanatical about power, he was also afraid of death.
Now in the power balance between him and the parliament, he is still on the weak side, so the current Charles I is very afraid of the power of the parliament.
At the same time, in an office in the Palace of Westminster, an ancient building in central London, a middle-aged man put down the quill in his hand and looked out the window.
"Where did the cannon sound come from? What's going on here? How can there be a cannon sound for no reason?" The middle-aged man frowned, with a dull expression on his face.
"Could it be that the king is going to do something? No, the king has been very quiet recently, it shouldn't be!" the middle-aged man said to himself.
This middle-aged man is the famous Oliver Cromwell in the history of shit stirrers.
This person had a high reputation in the parliament, and he was also the main leader of the later parliament when he fought against Charles I. He advocated the limitation of royal power, and had irreconcilable conflicts with Charles I.
"The sound of the cannon is not quite right. Why is this sound? Besides, the sound of the cannon sounds too dense. Not to mention such a dense sound of cannon, there should be hundreds of artillery firing at the same time. The king should not have so many. Artillery, what the hell is going on?" Cromwell looked puzzled, he couldn't understand why there was such a dense artillery sound all of a sudden.
Cromwell is a very intelligent person. He claims to be in control of the overall situation, but now he suddenly remembered the sound of the guns, which caught him off guard.
At this time, Thomas held up the binoculars and looked at the port, and now he was extremely anxious.
When the smoke and dust cleared, Thomas saw a messy port full of potholes.
"What should I do now? This is the end, what should I do now? This is the end."
Thomas seemed to have lost his soul, chanting these non-stop.
The sailors standing next to Thomas were similar to Thomas, and they all looked panic-stricken.
They have never encountered such a thing before, being beaten like this at the door of their house.
What's more, the guns were fired inexplicably. Up to now, these sailors don't know the reason why He Donglang fired the guns.
After a long time, Thomas often sighed, and said with a helpless face: "I still don't know why they fired the cannon? Could it be that it was really just because I saw those soldiers running towards the coastal defense battery?
This is not normal. It is normal for such a large fleet to appear near the port for no reason. "
Thomas really couldn't understand the purpose and reason of He Donglang's firing. Did he choose to fire just because he saw those soldiers running towards the coastal defense artillery?
In fact, there are still some warships in the shit-stirring sticks of this era, but the warships of the shit-stirring sticks are not in the Port of London these days, but in other places.
In fact, in this era, there are not many warships that stir shit. This era is the era of Spain and Hongyi.
In this era, Hongyi is the most powerful at sea. As for the shit-stirring stick, it is not ranked well on the sea, and if it dies, it will sail in the inland sea.
The farthest place I went was to go to the Americas. Although some colonies were established in the Americas, there was no way to compare with Hongyi and Spain in the colonies.
After a long time, Thomas sighed helplessly, "Oh, helpless, helpless!
No way, who let other people's weapons be more powerful than ours, and they bombed the port, I have nothing to dare to ask. "
At this time, Thomas had already seen clearly that he couldn't find trouble with He Donglang for the bombing of the port today.
Thomas put down the binoculars in his hand and looked up at the sky with a sad expression on his face, "Where is there such a disgusting thing in this world, how can there be such a thing in this world."
Hedong Lang put down the binoculars in his hand, and said to the messenger standing behind him: "Order the fleet to move to the port and prepare to dock."
Under the order of He Donglang, the fleet headed towards the port. In fact, the current treasure ship is not far away from the port. After walking for a long time, it docked at the port, and Thomas' ship also docked at the port. .
Although the current port has been bombed into a mess, these fleet ships of He Donglang can make do to stop.
He Donglang got off the treasure ship and came to the port. He looked at the pitted port in front of him with a calm expression. It was the first time He Donglang did such a thing.
Thomas also got off his merchant ship. He came to He Donglang, pointed at the port in front of him with grief and anger, looked at He Donglang, and asked loudly, "Why are you doing this? Why are you doing this?" Bombing the port? What is the purpose of your bombing the port?"
Thomas' voice was full of anger, and he spoke with great grief and indignation, but He Donglang didn't understand a word. He didn't know what Thomas was asking, although he could feel the anger from Thomas' tone.
He Donglang looked at Wang Dongliang who was standing beside him, and said, "Go and get the few people your lord assigned us."

Chapter 849 Depressed Charles I
He Donglang looked at Wang Dongliang who was standing beside him, and said, "Go and find the men that the Lord sent to us."
The few people He Donglang mentioned were the translators allocated to them by Mao Chengzuo. As for the form of translation, it was similar to before, and the Hongyi captives were also used as translation intermediaries.
Not long after, Wang Dongliang brought a few people to He Donglang's side. He Donglang pointed to the few people standing in front of him, and then asked: "Ask Thomas, see what he wants to ask?" What!"
He Donglang's voice was translated, Thomas heard the translated voice, and the anger on his face became more intense, "You don't know what you have done, and now you still ask me, it is really a great shame. "
Thomas scolded He Donglang ten thousand times in his heart.
Thomas took a few deep breaths, calmed down his mood, and said, "Why did you bomb the port? What is the purpose of the port you bombed?"
Thomas' voice was translated. Listening to the translated voice, He Donglang looked at Thomas jokingly.
"What is the purpose of bombing the port? That's a good question. Just now, I saw through the binoculars that those soldiers were going to shoot at me. I was just doing it out of self-defense. I was protecting myself. It was that simple and there was no other reason." .”
Listening to the translated voice, Thomas' face turned red. "You fire before they fire. You beat them badly and destroyed the port. Are you self-defense? You are a naked aggression!"
Thomas wanted to curse for a moment, but just as the words reached his lips, he forcibly endured it.
Thomas knew that no matter how much he shouted and cursed, it would not help.
Thomas sighed, and said helplessly, "Forget it, let's stop here first."
Thomas also knew that it was useless to say anything now, and the most important thing now was not the port, but to send the weapons back first.
As Thomas spoke, he turned around and took the men on the merchant ship to remove the weapons on board and put them on the port.
After doing these things, Thomas sent someone to Windsor Castle to inform Charles I.
But before the person who was going to notify them left, several carriages appeared on the outskirts of the port.
Charles I got off the carriage, looking at the bewildered port in front of him with a look of shock.
"What the hell happened? How did the port become like this?
All right, what kind of artillery can bomb the port like this? "Charles I looked puzzled.
Most of the artillery of this era are solid ammunition, and it is difficult for solid ammunition to cause such damage.
He looked out along the port, and saw the huge treasure ship lying across the port at a glance.
This treasure ship is like a hill, and it is difficult for Thomas Charles I to miss it.
"God, ohmygod, what is this thing? Is this a boat? Why is it so big? It's like a mountain. Where did this boat come from? Is it a parliament boat?
If such a large ship is used as a warship, who would be its opponent on the sea?The enemy can be knocked down just by collision. Is this the parliament's trump card?
Impossible impossible absolutely impossible, it's not true, I don't believe it's true. "
Thomas looked flustered, and he kept rubbing his eyes.
Charles I didn't believe what he saw at all, but no matter how much he rubbed his eyes, the treasure ship was still there, motionless.
His eyes moved from the treasure ship to the sailing battleships behind the treasure ship. These sailing battleships were also relatively large in size. Although they were improved from Hongyi's sailing battleships, they were smaller than Hongyi in size The number of sailing battleships is quite large.
Although it is not as big as a treasure ship, it is still relatively large among sailing battleships.
Charles I had been staring blankly at the sailing battleships behind the treasure ship, and said to himself dullly, "Is this a sailing battleship? Why is there such a large sailing battleship? Which country's sailing battleship is this?" ?
Which country's flag is the flag on the ship?Why have I never seen it?Could it be that an enemy country has invaded?But no one declared war. "
Charles I was flustered. At this time, he regretted coming to the port to check the situation.
At this time, Thomas standing on the edge of the port saw Charles I and Charles I's convoy.
Thomas looked in the direction of Charles I, adjusted his clothes, took a few deep breaths, calmed himself down, and ran towards Charles I.
When running towards Charles I, Thomas' heart was beating non-stop.
Thomas was thinking about how to explain the scene in front of him, how to explain to Thomas, why he was the only one who came back, and why didn't those students come back?
"His Royal Highness shouldn't worry about these things, after all, I got him such a powerful weapon."
Thomas muttered to himself, and ran quickly towards Charles I.
Charles I saw a figure running towards him. He didn't see clearly who was running towards him. He thought it was an enemy, so he hurriedly backed away, and he was about to crawl Get in the carriage.
Seeing Charles I in this state, Thomas hurriedly shouted at Charles I, "His Royal Highness is me, I am Thomas, His Royal Highness is me, I am Thomas."
Thomas kept yelling at Charles I. Charles I's left foot had already stepped on the carriage, but when he heard Thomas' voice, he put his left foot down again.
"Didn't Thomas go to the Eastern Empire? Could it be that he came back again?"
Charles I was a little puzzled in his heart. It stands to reason that the distance between here and the Eastern Empire is more than one hundred and eight thousand miles away. There is no reason to come back so soon.
Charles I squinted his eyes and looked at Thomas. He didn't believe that Thomas would come back so soon, but judging from various circumstances, this person was probably Thomas.
When Charles I was able to see Thomas's appearance clearly, the expression on Charles I's face was nothing but shock.
"Thomas, it's really Thomas, I didn't expect it to be Thomas, how is it possible, how could he come back so soon, it's impossible, it's simply impossible!"
Charles I exclaimed again and again, he simply did not believe that Thomas would come back in such a short time.
"Could it be that he has brought back the contents of "Tiangong Kaiwu"? Is this true? Why is it so easy?"
Charles I couldn't believe that Thomas could return in such a short time.
In the eyes of Charles I, the contents of "Heavenly Created Things" are unprecedented and very precious. Even if Thomas can get these things back, in the eyes of Charles I, it should take at least three to five years time.
But Charles I did not expect that Thomas would get back the contents in just a short time.
Seeing Thomas running towards him, Charles I had an unreal feeling in his heart. Charles I always felt that he was dreaming. He twisted his thigh, but the pain in his thigh told him that it was not a dream.
Not long after, Thomas came to Charles I, "His Royal Highness, I am back."
Thomas saluted Charles I, and shouted excitedly at Charles I.
Charles I also asked excitedly: "Why did you come back so soon? Did something happen in the middle? Have you learned those advanced things? Recently, the parliament has become more and more arrogant. It's getting more and more presumptuous, it's time to give Parliament a little color."
Charles I looked at Thomas in front of him, and told him in his heart that Thomas must have learned the content of the creation of heaven, and his consciousness forced himself to think in that direction.
"His Royal Highness, I haven't learned those things from Heavenly Creations."
Thomas shook his head decisively, and said to Charles I solemnly.
"What? You haven't learned those things from Heavenly Creations?"
Charles I looked at Thomas in disbelief. He really didn't expect that Thomas hadn't learned the content of the natural creation.
If Thomas really didn't learn the content of the creation of heavenly objects, how should he fight the parliament, how should he defeat the parliament?
Charles I's heart suddenly became cold, and his whole body was cold from beginning to end as if he had fallen into an ice hole.
"Your Highness, I brought back better things. Although the things on Tiangongkaiwu are good, they can't help us in a short time. The things I brought back can give us better things in a short time." Help." Looking at Charles I's expression, Thomas instantly understood what Charles I was thinking, and he hurriedly opened his mouth to explain.
Hearing what Thomas said, Charles I's mood improved a little bit, but it didn't get any better. He looked at Thomas and asked depressedly: "What did you bring back that can be compared to the creation of heavenly things?" Are those things good? I really can’t believe that there is anything in this world that is better than the content on Tiangong Kaiwu.”
Charles I's heart was extremely broken, because in Charles I's view, the best thing in this world is the advanced knowledge on Tiangong.
Now Thomas did not bring back those advanced knowledge, even if he brought back other things, but in the view of Charles I, it is still not as good as those things above the creation of heaven.

Chapter 850 Cromwell
Seeing Charles I like this, Thomas can also understand why Charles I thinks this way. After all, the knowledge on Tiangongkaiwu is indeed advanced. If you learn that knowledge back, you will definitely be able to deal with the parliament.
Thomas looked at Charles I and explained in detail, "His Royal Highness, the knowledge on the creation of natural objects is indeed advanced and good, but these things cannot be learned in a short time.
Don't think about understanding the knowledge on Tiangong Kaiwu in three to five or seven or eight years, and even if you learn all the things on Tiangong Kaiwu, don't even think about it in us if you don't have more than ten years. State implementation. "
"Is this really the case? Does it really take so long?" Charles I looked at Thomas suspiciously, "Is what you said true? If what you said is true, then how can we deal with it?" parliament?"
"Hey, His Royal Highness, yes, there must be a way!"
Thomas smiled, and pointed to the direction of the port with a mysterious face, "Your Highness, the things I brought back this time will definitely be able to deal with the parliament."
