Daming 1805

Chapter 222 Daming has to uphold justice for us, Britain and France!
Britain made the colonial rebels have a big head, and France made it even bigger.

When the Prime Minister of France, the Duke of Richelieu, led the cabinet to a meeting, the most frequently asked questions were:
"Is the news reliable? Are you sure?"

Napoleon once stationed in Buffalo, controlled the traffic arteries of French Canada, and the communication between the mainland and Canada was also controlled.

Most of the [-] main force troops sent by France to Canada followed Napoleon.

The remaining few who refused were also placed under house arrest in several remote strongholds, and went to farm under the supervision of the rebels.

The French court has no way to directly understand the actual situation in French Canada.

Most of the news in Canada was forwarded by the British, news from the British and the United States.

The British were shocked by Napoleon's self-proclaimed king, and the French were even more shocked.

After all Napoleon was French not British.

The French themselves understood better that Napoleon's commanding talent was terrifying.

The Duke of Richelieu took the news from the British and brought several important cabinet members to meet King Louis XVI.

The Duke of Richelieu directly skipped the normal meeting etiquette, and reported directly after entering the door:

"Your Majesty, the British have sent news that Napoleon has declared himself king, which is already a complete rebellion.

"We should generalize as soon as possible and lead more troops to suppress the rebellion..."

Louis XVI was taken aback, and the key chain in his hand almost fell to the ground:

"Is the news reliable? Napoleon really turned against him?"

Duke Richelieu said sadly:
"It should be true, there has been no news from Yin Zhou for several days.

"The United States kidnapped three members of the British royal family, they should be with Napoleon.

"The British believe that the chaos in the United States was also caused by Napoleon's promotion, so they blame us."

Louis XVI was stunned for a few seconds:
"Suppress... Napoleon? The question is who? The Duke and Son of Orleans? Can they do it?"

Duke Richelieu was also taken aback for a moment.

Yes, let someone go.

The French knew Napoleon best.

They could not imagine what general could defeat Napoleon.

Although the French royal family has no hostages in Napoleon's hands, it can start mobilizing without hesitation.

But the general who commanded the battle has never been selected.

The scene was awkwardly quiet for a few seconds, and Talleyrand said:

"The British asked us to submit an official note to Ming Dynasty and the League of Nations together.

"Demand Ming and the League of Nations to come forward to coordinate and contain the forces of the Yin Zhou rebels.

"I think we can indeed try to ask Daming to come forward to control the situation.

"If Da Ming doesn't care about these things, then the League of Nations will have no meaning."

Louis XVI seemed to react suddenly:
"Yes, continue to organize troops, and at the same time contact Daming first, discuss with the British, and see how this note will be written."

The Great Food Country, Quicksand City.

Together with Guan Tianpei, Zhu Jingyuan led the grassroots commanders and soldiers to plan a surprise attack plan of hundreds of kilometers.

Pan Shien quickly found Zhu Jingyuan, and handed over the joint note from Britain and France sent by Daming Honglu Temple.

Zhu Jingyuan opened it and looked at it. There were quite a lot of words on it, but after summarizing it was one sentence:

"You Daming have to uphold justice for us, Britain and France!"

Zhu Jingyuan looked very helpless, thinking that there is something wrong with the brains of the people of these two countries?

You are Britain and France, you are a colonial empire.

Now that the colonies are fighting for independence, let me, Da Ming, uphold justice for you?

Don't you feel ashamed?
But after thinking about it for a while, Zhu Jingyuan found that this matter was not that simple.

So Zhu Jingyuan asked Guan Tianpei and the generals to continue the discussion, and went to the living room to gather his staff and main officials.

Zhu Jingyuan handed the telegram file to Niu Jian and asked everyone at the scene to circulate it:
"What do you think? What should we do? Do we want to uphold justice for Britain and France? What kind of presiding law?"

Pan Shien was the first to read the content, so he was the first to express his opinion:
"Your Majesty, I believe that this depends on Daming and your plan for the future use of the League of Nations, as well as Daming's plan for the future relationship with the Thai and Western countries.

"If the League of Nations is only a temporary tool, it is possible to ignore the demands of Britain and France.

"If it is used as a long-term platform to maintain international order, it is best for it to play some practical role in international affairs, that is, to stand on the side of Britain and France.

"If you want to maintain the current ruling area, gradually eliminate the hostility of the Thai and Western countries towards Da Ming, and make Da Ming the real leader of the entire world, then you should make a little effort to help them solve the Yin Zhou rebellion."

Zhu Jingyuan nodded slowly as he listened:
"What Mr. Pan said makes sense. Do you have any other opinions?"

At this time, Niu Jian got emotional and said:

"Your Highness, the students thought that Daming's strategic goals in Yinzhou should also be considered.

"If there is no further expansion plan in Yinzhou in the future, Nachen suggested that we can try to dismember the British and French colonies and let them be independent in the form of a large number of small countries as much as possible.

"For example, each state and each colony in the United States has established a separate principality or counties.

"If Ming intends to completely occupy Yinzhou in the future and seize the existing colonies of Britain and France, it is best not to allow Canada and the United States to become independent, let alone merge them into one country.

"The land in Northern Yinzhou was relatively easy to seize when it was left in the hands of Britain and France in the form of a colony.

"Because the colony is relatively less important to the empire itself, it can be used as a target for compensation or even a transaction.

"If Canada and the United States are completely independent and let them establish their own countries on the land of Yinzhou, those places will become the mainland of these new countries.

"They have awakened their national and ethnic consciousness, and with the ideological trend of defending the country, it will become very difficult for Ming Dynasty to annex these two regions.

"Even if their court is defeated head-on, it will take a long time for the civil resistance to be eradicated.

"The consumption of subsequent integration and governance will also be relatively high."

Zhu Jingyuan listened to the opinions of several courtiers and clan, and said with emotion:
"I can see that there is a hole in this matter, and it is a big hole. We are now standing at an important intersection.

"Da Ming's future diplomatic strategy and Ming's future international positioning will all start from this flawed choice.

"If we don't treat Xiyi as a human being and don't care what Xiyi thinks of us, then we can ignore Xiyi.

"If we want to be serious about being the 'leader', similar to the leader of the Spring and Autumn Period, then we have to deal with them.

"You have to treat Xiyi as a human being a little bit, and treat them as someone you can communicate with.

"But I feel that no matter which direction is a pit."

What Zhu Jingyuan said was very common, and the surrounding staff and officials all had strange expressions.

These two choices have already been brewing in the minds of many people.

When you are the leader, you have to take responsibility, just like the superpowers in your previous life.

Although most of the time, they act for their own interests.

But their existence has indeed maintained an order in the world, so that international relations are not completely the law of the jungle.

If Daming wants to take on the responsibility of being the leader of the alliance, Xiyi will come to Daming if he has any troubles in the future.

The advantage is that their resistance to Da Ming will continue to decrease, and they will gradually recognize Da Ming as the real leader of the earth.

The disadvantage is that in the future, you will not be able to act willfully and recklessly, and you must always maintain a relatively fair attitude.

In the future, when Daming punishes someone, he will have to find a bag of washing powder as an excuse.

If you don't become the leader of the alliance, you don't treat Xiyi as a person, that is, you don't need to pay attention to Xiyi's views on Daming.

The downside is that the Western Yi countries have always maintained vigilance and vigilance against the Ming Dynasty, and have been on war alert for a long time.

The advantage is that when Da Ming wants to conquer them and seize their land, he doesn't need to worry about other factors besides strength.

It is to let the world run according to the law of the jungle. You don't need to make excuses for what you want to do, and you don't need to care about other people's opinions.

The biggest difference between the Ming Dynasty in this world and those superpowers is that the Ming Dynasty has already controlled more than half of the earth.

This is a goal that no superpower in history has ever achieved.

The original superpower, in fact, is quite strenuous to be a leader, and has no ability or opportunity to annex the world at all.

And Da Ming now has the opportunity to choose to join the world, and then he will not have the responsibility and obligation of the leader.

Zhu Jingyuan thought about it for a while, and added a few more words:
"Actually, besides these two directions, there is another extreme choice.

"Let the cultural prosperity, social living standards, and social security and stability of the entire Ming Dynasty always be ahead of other countries.

"At the same time, Ming still allows overseas countries to merge into the Ming Dynasty system in the form of foreign vassals.

"But the direction itself remains contradictory.

"If Ming takes the lead in an all-round way, the bureaucracy will definitely not want to accept them, just like the withdrawal of the feudal clan that has been stuck for decades.

"If they are ahead, they definitely don't want to join Daming.

"But I don't think I can decide this matter. Is there no additional opinion in the news sent by the court?"

Several staff members and courtiers already had a deep understanding of Zhu Jingyuan's identity.

So after hearing the last sentence, I muttered instinctively in my heart:
If these things can affect Ming Dynasty's diplomatic strategy for the next few decades, then it should really be up to you to decide...

Pan Shien replied with mixed feelings:
"The imperial court did not give any advice, but the foreign affairs of Daqinhai are all in the hands of your governor."

Zhu Jingyuan asked casually:
"This is the diplomacy between Yinzhou and the North Atlantic Ocean, and basically does not involve the internal affairs of the Great Qinhai.

"Let's sort out our analysis process, as well as the conclusions and analyses, and send them to Honglu Temple.

"Please ask the court for instructions first, if I have to make a decision..."

The staff and courtiers agreed together, and Niu Jian went to sort out the points he had just analyzed.

A simple report was formed and sent to Honglu Temple in the name of Zhu Jingyuan.

The response came in the afternoon, and the emperor personally instructed Zhu Jingyuan to lead foreign affairs.

Zhu Jingyuan took the reply telegram, and after walking around the lobby twice, he sighed and said:
"I thought about it for two hours, but I still don't think idealism is worth it.

"Our leader, Daming, is not a patriarch, but an overlord. Although we can't completely treat Xiyi as human beings, we have no obligation to wipe their ass.

"So respond to Britain and France like this:

"As the leader of the League of Nations, our Ming Dynasty will certainly not support the rebels in the members of the League.

"But we also believe that, as the main countries of Thailand and the West, the United Kingdom and the United Kingdom should be able to solve domestic problems on their own.

"If Britain and France determine that they cannot resolve the colonial issue, they will not be able to maintain effective rule over the Yinzhou colony.

"Then ask the two countries to transfer the ownership of the colony to Daming in the form of an official document."

Niu Jian wrote down Zhu Jingyuan's words, read it again and said:

"Your Highness, do you mean to refer to the rules of Mozhou development? Question the ability of Britain and France to rule their colonies?"

Zhu Jingyuan nodded lightly and said:

"Yes, Britain and France are traditional colonial empires. If you can't hold your own colonies, then don't want colonies.

"The League of Nations is our platform for distributing colonies, not for protecting decaying colonial powers.

"If there is a conflict between two member states, then we can come out and judge right or wrong for them.

"There was a rebellion in my own colony, but I came to Daming to uphold justice. Is it embarrassing?"

The international alliance of this world is not the universal international organization of Zhu Jingyuan's previous life, but a platform to carve up the world.

It is equivalent to a carnivore club. Those who join the alliance are all carnivores, and they are all members who carve up the world.

Ming can promise not to support Napoleon, and promise not to disrupt their colonies, but they are not obligated to help them maintain their rule.

The two parties are only in a very rudimentary cooperative relationship. If you want Da Ming to help them, you have to provide benefits, don't think about engaging in moral kidnapping.
