Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 263 Wake Up, Stupid William

Zhu Jinsong had a headache.

If you want to talk about since ancient times, Zhu Jinsong is really true. Even if Wang Xuance didn't bury some broken pots and pots back then, Zhu Jinsong can still find enough records from the history books. People hurried to bury some.

At worst, find a few tombs of the Tang Dynasty, dig up some Tang Dynasty things and bury them there, anyway, there is no shortage of such things in the Central Plains.

The point is that this time is somewhat wrong—you can’t really treat England as a Erha just because he looks like Erha. Strictly speaking, England at this time is more like a wolf pretending to be Erha.

Although Zhu Jinsong is true to England, even if he opens the film, he is sure enough to win, but if the two really open the film, it will probably be the first time the whole Xiaopoqiu has a big fight. Have to break a few too.

Besides, England and France are making a movie with the Habsburg family in Europa for the little troublemaker. If Daming suddenly beat England up, wouldn't it affect the little troublemaker?

Therefore, the current situation is similar to what Shakespeare said: To fight, or not to fight, this is the question.

The same problem was also placed in front of George III.

This matter made William I, the last ruler of the Netherlands and the first king of the Dutch royal family, who had asked George III for help but was rejected tragically, very happy.

"What did I say at the beginning? Oh, I remembered, what I said is: Ming Guo is like a big appetite who can never be satisfied. He is devouring everything he can see. !"

"Obviously, George, now it's the turn of the British East Indies. There are only two roads ahead of you. Either hand over the British East Indies to the Ming Dynasty just like I handed over the Dutch East Indies. , making the Ming Kingdom, which was already an incomparable king, even bigger."

"Or, just go back to Europa, contact other countries in Europa, and start a war against Ming together—let that damned little pot die, this world shouldn't be decided by the people of Ming."

However, what disappointed and even annoyed William I was that George III looked at him as if he was looking at a fool.

"William, I have told you countless times that England's core interests are consistent with those of Ming."

"It is true that the world is not decided by the Ming country, but by the five benevolent people of Xiao Poguo—it just so happens that England is one of the five benevolent people, and the Ming country is in charge of Xiao Poguo, so what do you say? Can you understand?"

George III said sarcastically: "Or to take a step back, even if England and France, plus the Habsburg family, and even the silly goose, Ottoman, and silly eagle, all join forces to attack Ming, guess who will win the battle?" can win?"

William once said in a deep voice: "Of course Europa will win—no matter how powerful Ming is, can it still be strong enough to fight against the whole world?"

George III laughed out loud and said, "Of course not, my silly William."

But before William I had a smile on his face, George III went on to say: "But the Ming Dynasty can sanction the whole world!"

"The steam engine that is best used now was made in the Ming Dynasty. The artillery and percussion guns equipped by the French and English armies were made in the Ming Dynasty, including the cigarettes you smoke, the soap and sulfur soap you use for bathing, and the The toilet paper used in the toilet and the world's best silk and porcelain are all produced in the Ming Dynasty."

"After leaving the Ming Dynasty, are you planning to return to the barbaric Middle Ages?"

"Also, you need to know how vast the land is, how many people there are, and how huge the army is even equipped - the Ming country occupies more than one-third of the world's population, and they have nearly a million people. The standing army can even expand to 300 million or even 500 million at any time, and their army accounts for half of all the armies in the world!"

"What do you use to fight Ming? Do you want to take the fallen Netherlands? Or, do you want the whole world to go back to the Middle Ages?"

"Wake up, stupid William, this conflict with the Ming army is completely a misunderstanding. The truth of the matter is that those damn diaper heads attacked the Ming army without authorization, and the Ming army was only fighting back."

William I snorted coldly and said, "Then what? The counterattack by the Ming army is obviously not just a counterattack. They are about to destroy your English East Indies!"

George III shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "The misunderstanding has been resolved, hasn't it? There are conflicts, but there is no war."

"Also, England is ready to give up the British East Indies. Those damn diaper heads are really disgusting. They always do some inexplicable things and always make a bunch of messy problems."

"Just like the silly goose sold Alaska and Eastern Siberia, we in England are also planning to sell the British East Indies - I believe the Ming people will give us a very fair price."

This time it was William I's turn to treat George III as a fool: "George, I still firmly believe that you will regret it, and the whole of Europa will regret it. Your connivance with the Ming Dynasty happens to be the Ming Kingdom's greatest confidence!"

George III shook his head and said: "Forget it, we will soon reach the place ruled by the Ming Dynasty. I think it's time to end this topic—remember, William, you came to the Ming Dynasty to seek the restoration of the Netherlands. China's opportunity, and the Netherlands to join the small pot, I hope you don't make trouble for yourself or the Netherlands, OK?"

Speaking of this, George III drew a cross on his chest again, and said to William I: "Do you know, William, the Ming Dynasty is the only country I have ever seen that encourages civilians to rebel, although they prohibit civilians from holding artillery and guns, but they allow all civilians to receive military training, their emperor said publicly in the newspaper that if something goes wrong in this country, then he will allow the people to overthrow his rule, and the Ming army must stand The civilian side."

"The emperors of the Ming Dynasty have always done this, and the army of the Ming Dynasty has also done the same thing. Their soldiers would rather sacrifice themselves than protect the safety of their civilians when there is something dangerous every day. This makes their army There is a lot of trust between the people and the common people."

"There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty: If you can't even trust the emperor and the army, then who else can we trust?"

"Their civilians can send the last child in their family to serve in the army, and they can also send the last bit of food in the family to the army as rations."

"William, you have never been to the Ming Dynasty. You don't know how their common people view their emperor—the common people in this country can give everything for the emperor's order, even their own lives. If the emperor says to fight, then all the people in this country will happily go to war with their muskets, including women and children."

"Also, Napoleon, who recently shined in the war with the Habsburg family, his grades in the Ming Dynasty Military Academy are only mediocre. The Ming Dynasty can find thousands or even tens of thousands of people who are more powerful than him. general."

"You can't afford to provoke such a country, and none of us can afford to provoke such a country. All we can do is try not to provoke him."

William I nodded in agreement, but the expression on his face was somber as if he had eaten three catties of stinky dog ​​shit.

But William I didn't really believe what George III said in his heart, because William I couldn't believe it anyway, there is such a country in the world?

An emperor who encouraged commoners to rebel?
Exchange your own life for the lives of civilians?

Send the last morsel of food to the army as rations?

Ha, this is simply the funniest joke in the world—with so many countries and armies in Europe, which one is like this?And Napoleon, his grades in the Ming Dynasty Military Academy were only mediocre?It must be that the Military Academy of the Ming Dynasty deliberately lowered his grades!

Just when William I was secretly complaining about Daming in his heart, the ship that William I and George III were on paused slightly, and then stopped steadily.

King William I took a deep breath and said, "It looks like we should have arrived in the Ming Kingdom by now——I should have a good look at the Ming Kingdom you mentioned."

George III shook his head and said, "You are wrong, William, we are now in the Old Port Province, which is the original Dutch East Indies, which is still far away from the mainland of the Ming Dynasty."

The two came to the deck while talking, and William I couldn't help asking after seeing the busy dock and the buildings rising from the ground in the distance: "Is this the original East India?"

George III nodded and said, "Yes, this is the original Dutch East Indies, and now it has restored its name in the Ming Dynasty, and it is called the Old Port Province."

"William, in just a few months, can you still see the shadow of the Dutch East Indies here?"

William I shook his head and said, "I can't see it, but I have read the letter from Seventeen Gentlemen. The East India in the letter is not as prosperous as it is in front of me."

George III laughed and said, "Prosperous? Maybe, maybe in our eyes, this is a metropolis comparable to London or Paris, but in the eyes of Ming people, this is an out-and-out countryside. , and it’s the poorer countryside.”

William I felt that George III was fooling him - he rushed to those busy construction sites, the carriages and workers shuttled back and forth, and the huge port in front of him. How could such a prosperous place be called the countryside?
William I also laughed and said, "I'm really looking forward to seeing the real Ming Dynasty and seeing how prosperous they can be."

George III shook his head and said, "You probably misunderstood—the reason why the common people of the Ming state call this the countryside is because it is far away from the mainland of the Ming Dynasty."

"Of course, compared with many larger cities in the Ming Dynasty, this place is indeed a poor countryside. You will know this when you see the cities of the Ming Dynasty."

Although he has the title of Mad King, George III's IQ is more or less online. In addition, he has invited doctors from the Ming Dynasty to help him recuperate his nerves. George III has not suffered from madness for a long time recently.

In his sanity, George III would have been a very good tour guide.

"This is Da Nang, and it hasn't been long since it belonged to the Ming Dynasty. Look, is this place more prosperous than the old port?"

"Heaven? No, no, no, this is not heaven, but the Guangzhou port of the Ming Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, it was called the Thirteen Banks of Guangdong. All trade must pass through here, and only through here. Now only It can be regarded as one of the several major ports in the Ming Dynasty."

"Don't act like a country bumpkin, is it okay? William, I remember I told you that we are still far away from Tianjin Port in Ming Dynasty. This is Quanzhou Port, which is one of the major ports in Ming Dynasty. .”
