Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 177 Five Good People?

There is one thing to say, the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty is only slowly rebuilt based on the remaining part of Chongzhen 17 years later. It is quite in place for the infiltration of the Qing court, but in terms of intelligence scope, it is not only inferior to the Jinyiwei before Chongzhen. , not even comparable to Ladakh in the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, Daming doesn't know much about the situation in India now, and he doesn't know that England has not completely captured India. The so-called ceding part of India is nothing more than borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, giving favors with benefits that have not been obtained.

But this does not prevent Zeng Cheng from having a preliminary judgment on Macartney's proposal - this is a typical toad playing with frogs, who are ugly but playful.

After thinking about it secretly, Zeng Cheng said: "If Da Ming is willing to establish this organization with your country, but who should be honored? Da Ming as respect? Will the head of your country agree? If you regard your country as respect ..., with all due respect, as the saying goes, one mountain cannot contain two tigers, if such an organization is established, sooner or later there will be conflicts between Daming and your country."

When Zeng Cheng said this, Macartney couldn't help feeling a little numb.

Naturally, there is no saying that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers in England, but similar truths are known. After all, they are descendants of Anglo-Saxon. The greed of the British Empire is endless, and sooner or later it may conflict with the Ming Empire. .

Then Macartney felt the need to form such an organization.

If there is such an organization, even if there is a conflict between the British Empire and the Ming Empire, it is entirely possible to transfer the conflict between the Great Britain and the Ming Empire to other countries in the world.

For example, if you choose a place at random, Daying and Daming will not fight in person, but will support one side and let the two younger brothers fight, so as to determine the distribution of benefits between Daying and Daming.

In this way, Daying and Daming can join hands and treat the whole world as leeks.

If there is no such an organization... then if there is any conflict between Daying and Ming, it will inevitably lead to the point where the two sides will do it themselves, and it may even involve the whole world.

Macartney felt terrible at the thought of such a bloody scene.

Not a gentleman at all.

After careful consideration, Macartney slapped his thigh fiercely, and said, "Otherwise, let's pull up the Silly Eagles—they are in the distant American continent, and there is nothing between them and Ming and Great Britain." direct conflict of interest."

"I think you should know that among all the geometric structures, the triangle is the most stable. Da Ming, Daying, and the Silly Jaeger can form a triangular structure."

"Of course, if your country has a more promising country—as long as it's not France, then the rest can be discussed?"

But Zeng Cheng shook his head and said: "Not to mention that Zeng cannot directly agree to Mr. Macartney's proposal now, even if he can, Zeng will definitely pull France - the silly thief eagle was originally a part of your John Bull , now it’s just a separation, and you are far closer to each other than your country and Daming.”

Yes, compared to Macartney, who is "full of flamboyance", Zeng Cheng still thinks that players of Pierre's level are more rare, at least they are better at fooling around.

But Macartney was in a hurry: "No, Mr. Zeng, you may not know that Daying is Daying, and the foolish eagle is a foolish eagle. If Daying is a gentleman, then the foolish eagle is a hooligan, a liar, a thief, and a robber." , God stick, in short, they are a group of criminals."

"The reason why the Silly Eagles are brought in is also because of their geographical location, and they won't directly conflict with Da Ming and Daying on land."

"Please believe me, my proposal is entirely for the benefit of Da Ming and Daying, not simply because the Silly Eagle used to be a part of Daying—in fact, there was just a fight between Daying and the Silly Eagle The war, the relationship between the two sides is not friendly."

"Furthermore, if France is allowed to join in, it will become four countries. Once there is a situation where there is a consensus of two or two, it is equivalent to returning to the time when there were only Ming and Great Britain."

Zeng Cheng said without hesitation: "Then bring in another one. In fact, five countries are far better than three countries."

Then Macartney took out the globe: "Master Zeng, you can choose, which country is more suitable for you? In fact, the most suitable situation is that Ming and Great Britain form the two poles of the world, plus a silly hawk , basically it’s almost the same, and this is more beneficial to Daming.”

In all fairness, the plan proposed by Macartney is indeed more beneficial to Daming, because at this time, the silly thief eagle has just got rid of British colonial rule, and it is the time when it is most difficult to deal with Britain.

And the reason why he brought up this point is because Macartney was thinking about the principle that he would rather suffer a little loss than win Da Ming into the ally camp——

Can Daying beat Daming?

If you can't win, maybe you will be beaten to kneel on the ground and call Dad.

That being the case, then you have to find a way to mix up with the big brother first, and then pull the big brother to beat other bullies together, so as to strengthen yourself little by little.

At the very least, being called Big Brother is better than being called Dad, isn't it?
Of course Zeng Cheng also knew that Macartney's proposal was most beneficial to Daming.

But to be clear, sometimes, this account is not calculated in this way.

If, according to Macartney's original idea, the organization that doesn't know the name is composed of Ming and England as two poles, and then other countries are included in the circle to play together, then continue to play the tributary system with Daming, the United Kingdom What's the difference in enabling the tribute system on Europa?
On the surface, it seems that the two countries have greatly increased the right to speak in their respective spheres of influence, but other countries must be stupid to join in?Maybe they will come up with an alliance against the Ming and the British!

Don’t forget, no matter how awesome you are in England, France is not a vegetarian. They have been fighting with you back and forth for more than 100 years. If one day Europa supports other countries, you England will have to pay back Ask Daming for help?
Therefore, instead of waiting until you get beaten up in England and then dragging Ming into the water, it is better to directly recruit a few countries that are better at speaking to play together now.

As for how to play it...

A lot of ways to play suddenly popped up in Zeng Cheng's mind.

While thinking about all kinds of messy ways to play in his mind, Zeng Cheng slowly turned the globe, and after turning it back and forth for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little bit painful.

In terms of geographical location, there should be a speaker in West Kunlun, which Zheng He visited back then, but there is an important place where Kunlun slaves are produced, and no country is qualified to be the speaker. That place itself has been the territory of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times—this can be traced back to the time of the Queen Mother of the West since ancient times. Which unfilial descendant would dare to abandon such an important territory?

From the point of view that there are two speakers in Europe, Britain and France, Ming should have a speaker nearby, Tsarist Russia seems to be more suitable, the problem is that most of the territory occupied by Tsarist Russia has been the territory of Ming since ancient times— ——There is Beihai where Su Wu herds sheep, there is the area controlled by the Anxi Dufu, and there is also the territory of the Golden Horde, so Tsarist Russia can't do it either.

After struggling for a long while, Zeng Cheng said to Macartney: "Let's do it, Da Ming, Da Ying, plus France and the stupid thief eagle, plus this Tsarist Russia, there are five families in total. If there is anything, just these five families It's up to you."

"It's just that the territory occupied by Tsarist Russia is a bit wrong--Nurgan Dusi has been my Ming Dynasty's territory since ancient times, Persia is a vassal state of Tang Dynasty, Kazakhstan is the territory of the Golden Horde, and it is also the birthplace of Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai land, so..."

Macartney sold Tsarist Russia without hesitation: "Of course, the British Empire is willing to recognize Ming's territorial rights since ancient times."

Only then did Zeng Cheng nod his head, and said to Macartney: "The matter is too serious, and Zeng will not be able to reply to Mr. Macartney for a certain period of time, but Zeng will try his best to facilitate this matter."

Macartney nodded and replied, "That's natural. Mr. Zeng can discuss it with His Majesty the Emperor of your country—I am indeed sincerely considering it for the interests of the Ming Empire and the British Empire."

……

Zhu Jinsong's face was calm, but his heart was in all kinds of chaos, and he even wanted to say a thousand or ten thousand sentences.

Zhu Jinsong is not at all surprised that Macartney can come up with this kind of gameplay, after all, he is a barbarian from Europa, and his mind has always been amazing——

A few years later, in 1795, Immanuel Kant would have proposed the idea of ​​representative government and a world federation in his Perpetual Peace, published that year.

In another 20 years or so, Eurocoordination will begin to develop, not only to promote the development of international law, including the Geneva Conventions and Hague Conventions, but also to set standards for humanitarianism in international law.

In more than 90 years, the League of Nations organization should officially appear.

In other words, there are already similar arguments on Europa's side, and it is normal for Macartney to raise it now.

The problem is that Daming still has a lot of shit that hasn't been cleaned up.

The Qing Dynasty had just marched into the Yaksa and Kyakta areas, the Ming Dynasty had not had time to punish the Qing people, the Western Regions Protectorate had not been rebuilt, and the big island rich in kangaroos had not yet been acquired. Still a mess.

Not to mention that there are still ancient territories such as West Kunlun and Yin Dian that have not had time to recover.

Even if you don't consider the unrecovered lost ground for the time being, just Daming's own situation is enough to cause headaches - Daming's population base of [-] million basically means that any big problem can be infinitely expanded.

Not to mention anything else, it took more than three years to extend this policy from Shandong and Henan to more than a dozen other provinces just to crack down on the evil gentry and equalize the land.

Not to mention sociology, it has been five years since Zhu Jinsong ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. However, in all the areas under the control of Daming, it is not bad if there are two or three sociology schools in each county. that's it.

Not to mention that there are various roads, bridges, rivers and other messy projects-although Zhu Jinsong and a group of bigwigs in the Ming Dynasty have been working hard to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, but linking Daming treasures to gold and silver, then The silver deposits in the Ming treasury have never exceeded 500 million taels of silver!
Based on this situation, play joint pot with Macartney and the others?
It's hard to say what others think of this, but Liu Huaiwen must ask Zhu Jinsong, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, for money to buy a cat.

Besides, the United Nations must not have five benevolent people?

Just thinking of the joint pot, Zhu Jinsong thought of another way to make money.

If you play well, you can at least earn a hundred thousand taels or more for the treasury.

After thinking about it, Zhu Jinsong simply called together a group of leaders in the Ming Dynasty Hall, first talked about Macartney's proposal, and then said straight to the point: "Now there is an opportunity to make money, just look at it." Can we get hold of it?"
