Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

Seeing this, Zhu Jing'an nodded slightly and then spoke.

"As for military operations..."

"The telegram ordered our Donghai Navy Fleet stationed in Ryukyu to suspend operations against Japan. The fleet was transferred from Ryukyu and headed to Guangzhou to join Ming Dynasty's Nanhai Navy Fleet."

"A telegram was sent to the Nanhai Navy Fleet to immediately begin preparations for war, reserve food, grass and weapons in advance, and wait for military orders to attack at any time."

"The telegram ordered the Guangzhou Arsenal to immediately expand the production capacity of cutting-edge weapons and expand the scale of production without making any mistakes."

"The telegram ordered Guangdong, Fujian, Hainan and other provinces to immediately strengthen coastal defense, build coastal defense forts, and reserve various materials to prepare for an all-out war with the Western Barbarians in the Southeast Asia."

Zhu Jing'an was going to give a diplomatic warning to Britain, the Netherlands and Spain. It would be best if they were obedient and withdrew from Japan and stopped intervening in the Ming Dynasty's war with Japan.

If they don't obey, then Zhu Jing'an will have to attack both economically and militarily.

At that time, economically, the Ming Dynasty will impose trade sanctions on the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Spain.

The goods and properties of merchants from the three countries in the Ming Dynasty were seized, and all trade between the Ming Dynasty and the three countries was prohibited.

In terms of military affairs, the Ming Dynasty will launch military attacks on Manila, Batavia and other places.

Use thunderous means to expel the Dutch and Spanish forces from the Southeast Asia.

To avenge the Chinese who died tragically at the hands of Spanish and Dutch colonists in Manila and Batavia.

Zhu Jing'an and the Ming Dynasty still remember the massacres of Chinese committed by the Spanish authorities in Manila several times and the Red River Massacre launched by the Dutch colonists.

Chinese people are never vague when it comes to holding grudges.

I didn’t mention it before, but it was because Ming Dynasty was not ready for an all-out war with the Western Yi and to regain control of Nanyang.

But now that the Western Yi have come to take the initiative to provoke, there is nothing more to say.

You’re still well prepared!
let's hit!

If the Ming Navy wants to move from the offshore sea to the deep blue, this time the sword must be bright, and this battle must be fought.

The British have already gone so far as to openly oppose the Ming Dynasty, so why should they hesitate?
Just do it!

Based on the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty, it has no rivals in the entire East and Southeast Asia.

If a war really breaks out, the Ming Dynasty will go all out to increase the production capacity of naval battleships. It will only be easy to build dozens or hundreds of sail battleships a year.

There is really no need to be too tolerant to foreigners!
After Zhu Jing'an finished speaking, Liu Mingyou asked.

"Your Majesty, since Ryukyu's Donghai Navy Fleet has withdrawn, will the war on Japan's side be suspended?"

When Zhu Jing'an heard this, he shook his head and said.

"That's not necessary!"

"Let the Korean garrison stationed on Tsushima Island prepare to cross the sea and land on Kyushu Island, and then launch an attack on Satsuma Domain by land."

"Then write a message to the Tokugawa Shogunate, requesting the Tokugawa Shogunate to arrange manpower to assist our soldiers to complete the landing, and to do their best to ensure the logistics of our army without any mistakes."

"Is it possible that without the assistance of the navy, our Ming Dynasty King's division will not be able to fight the war?"

When Liu Mingyou heard this, he could only respond with cupped fists.

As for whether you are afraid of the Tokugawa Shogunate temporarily going back on their word? Choose to work with Britain, the Netherlands and other countries to deal with the Ming Dynasty and harm the Ming army’s Japanese conquest troops?

how to say?

Zhu Jing'an is really not afraid.

Although Zhu Jing'an was preparing to start a war with Xiyi in Nanyang this time, he only mobilized the Donghai Navy and Nanhai Navy. The naval forces of North Korea were never mobilized.

If there really is a disagreement, the Ming navy fleet stationed in North Korea will be sure to support the retreat of our own troops across the sea.

After all, how wide is the Tsushima Strait?

To put it bluntly, I can get by in a bathtub, so there is nothing to worry about.

……

Nanjing!

As the imperial edict was issued from the capital, Zhu Jing'an's order quickly reached Nanjing via telegraph.

Wen Tonghe, the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty who was stationed in Nanjing, received the order and wrote an official document condemning the British, Dutch, and Spanish countries, and ordered it to be sent to the embassies of the three countries.

Although the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty is located in Beijing, Nanjing is the real capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Ming Dynasty retained a certain administrative team in Nanjing.

Although the Six Ministries of Nanjing were not reset, each of the six Ministries left a Zuo Shilang in Nanjing to handle affairs related to Southern Zhili.

In the British Embassy, ​​Ambassador Charles was sitting behind a table drinking red wine.

The scarlet wine liquid slowly rotated in the goblet, and it was crystal clear under the sunlight.

He lifted the wine glass to his mouth and took a sip. An expression of enjoyment appeared on Charles' face.

"Siha, this wine is good!"

Charles raised his eyebrows, his expression full of pride.

Antony, the Dutch ambassador opposite, said with a smile.

"Of course, this is the top French Bordeaux wine, which is hard to find in Europe, let alone in the East."

"I ordered people to bring it from Europe. It was originally intended to be used to establish relations with the high-level officials of the Ming Dynasty. It's a pity that they can't enjoy such good things."

Anthony smiled and also picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Feeling the aroma of fruity wood in his mouth, he carefully savored the tail notes of the wine.

The Spanish Ambassador Schiller was also smiling.

Although there used to be discord between their respective countries, it was not a happy one. However, in the current situation where we have common interests or common enemies, it is normal to sit together and talk and laugh.

This is the relationship between Western countries!
As long as there are benefits, they are friends.

If there is a conflict of interest, then friendship is the least valuable thing.

The three of them sat together, drinking and discussing things that would cause trouble for Daming.

As one glass of wine was consumed, the atmosphere became more and more lively.

At this moment, an embassy guard came in from outside, came to Charles, leaned over and said.

"Your Excellency the Ambassador, officials from the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty are outside to see you."

When Charles and others heard this, the expressions on their faces were obviously stagnant.

Although they didn't think it was a big deal when they caused trouble for Da Ming in private, when Da Ming came to ask questions, they still couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

People under the roof are inevitably restrained.

Moreover, Ming Dynasty is not the kind of small country that allows them to take whatever they want. Even if they break up, they dare not do anything to their envoys.

On the Ming side, if they really break up, it is really possible to drag them out and hang them on the gallows.

However, the deed has been done and it is too late to regret.

Charles cleared his throat and said with dignity.

"Go and invite people in!"

After the words fell, the guard turned around and went out.

After a while, he returned, followed by a Ming official wearing a blue official robe.

This Ming official walked into the embassy swaggeringly, looked around, and said.

"Where is the British Ambassador Charles?"

After the words fell, Charles, who was sitting in his seat, raised the red wine glass filled with scarlet wine liquid in his hand to indicate that it was him.

Seeing this, the Ming official frowned and asked naturally.

"Since you are the British ambassador, why don't you salute me when you see me?"

These days, Chinese people are very proud when facing foreigners. Therefore, this Ming official naturally believed that Charles should salute him.

When Charles heard this, he was stunned.

What is his identity? What is the identity of this little official in front of me?
How dare this little official ask him, Charles, to salute him?
But before Charles could say anything, the Ming official said again.

"That's all, I'll skip the salute. I'm here today and have business to do, so I don't have time to argue with you about this false courtesy."

After saying this, he looked straight, took out an official document from his arms, and spoke.

"The Kingdom of England is a barbarian country in the far west. It has no respect for kings, no education, no etiquette, and no kindness. It is really unfaithful, rude, and rude."

"You first provoked our Ming Dynasty King Master in Macau, and then colluded with the Manchu Qing Dynasty in an attempt to overthrow our Ming Dynasty regime. You are already facing death."

"Fortunately, I, the Ming Dynasty, have benevolence and righteousness, and remember that you are barbarians who don't know etiquette, so I don't care about your disrespect and offense, and have made peace with you, allowing you and other merchants to come to my Ming Dynasty to trade and support your family."

"However, instead of being grateful and crying for God's grace, you are ignorant of life and death and dare to collude with the Japanese pirates of the Satsuma clan who assassinated the Ming dynasty. This crime is indescribable and will inevitably lead to death."

"Today, I, the Ming Dynasty, are willing to give you another chance to immediately turn back from the dead road that runs counter to my Ming Dynasty, and make compensation to the Ming Dynasty for this, as well as an official apology."

"Otherwise, don't say that you didn't predict what you said!"

When Charles heard this, he froze on the spot.

No, is Daming speaking so directly?
Although with his Chinese proficiency, he is not very able to understand what those idioms mean.

But just from the tone of this Ming official's words, we knew it wouldn't be a good thing.

In fact, Zhu Jing'an did not know the contents of the official document issued by the Ministry of Rites reprimanding Britain, the Netherlands, Spain and other countries.

He just ordered the people below to reprimand, that's all.

As for how to write official documents, the people below can do it themselves.

Anyway, the British guys have already started to cause trouble for Ming Dynasty openly, so why does Zhu Jing'an care about the tone of his words?
If he doesn't scold his mother directly, it means that Zhu Jing'an has quality.

For no reason, he directly ordered the execution of all the British, Dutch, and Spanish people in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Jing'an had a good temper.

After saying this, the Ming official slammed the official document in his hand on the table, glared at Charles, then turned and left.

When Charles saw this, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he cursed "fuck**" through gritted teeth!

However, the Ming official clearly did not understand and strode out of the British embassy, ​​preparing to go to the Dutch and Spanish embassies to present official documents.

But he had just left for a short time before he returned. Because the Dutch and Spanish ambassadors were now in the British embassy, ​​it was certainly impossible for him to find anyone in the Dutch embassy and Spanish embassy.

Then, in front of Charles and others, he read two equally stern official documents, slapped the official documents on the table, and turned around to leave.

After the Ming officials left, Charles angrily tore the three official documents on the table into pieces.

"Arrogant, the officials of Ming Dynasty are simply arrogant!"

The Dutch Ambassador Antony on the side put the wine glass in his hand on the table, picked up a silk handkerchief, wiped his mouth, and said very calmly.

"We have never been in the eyes of these Ming people."

"Whether it is England, Spain, the United Provinces, or even France as an ally, they have never really taken it to heart."

"The Kingdom of Heaven, tsk tsk, it is indeed the Kingdom of Heaven!"

Anthony didn't know whether he was envious or sarcastic and said. (End of chapter)
