Daming 1805

Chapter 334 is another new era.

Emperor Nicholas I of Lucia and King William III of Prussia were all in Mozhou at this time.

The two are even getting together now.

At the junction of the two Mexican colonies, on the side of the Prussian colony, a city inside the mouth of a river.

The original historical city of Calabar, Nigeria, is now renamed New Königsberg.

The rulers of the two countries gathered together and watched the news from the army ahead, feeling very excited and happy.

"It's really great, we finally got rid of this annoying group of natives."

"The future looks bright for New Deutschland and New Lucia!"

William was very happy to order, and first sent a message to the front line to reward all the generals and soldiers.

Then organize a celebratory banquet, to which Emperor Nicholas is invited.

Nicholas asked his own people to send similar messages to the front line, and then happily expressed the invitation to the banquet.

Everyone is very happy.

The colonies of Prussia and Lucia were close neighbors, and the main indigenous enemies in the interior were all the same organization.

In order to deal with the aborigines in the interior, the two sides launched a comprehensive military cooperation.

The two sides may have conflicts due to border friction in the future.

But now the main goal of both sides is to develop, rather than compete on the existing stock.

Even if it is competition, it is competition in the exploration of inland areas, rather than disputes over the roughly determined coastal boundaries.

So the current cooperation between the two parties is very pleasant.

Zhu Jingyuan distributed the Mozhou colony to Lucia, which made the Lucia people very happy.

That was originally historically German Cameroon, and parts of Central Africa and Chad in the interior of Cameroon.

Zhu Jingyuan allocated the Prussian Mozhou colony, which made the Prussians even more ecstatic.

Zhu Jingyuan said at the time that there might be coal and oil here, and then the Prussians went to explore and found it.

The Prussian mainland lacks oil, and here is oil!
They also found iron ore here!And the taste is very good!

There is a lack of iron ore in Prussia, and it happens to be here too!

In fact, this colony is the Nigerian region of later generations, and its oil reserves are No. 10 in the world.

Although iron ore is not a lot, it is several times that of Germany itself.

This colony directly complements the important industrial basic resources that the local area lacks.

The excited decision of King William III of Prussia named this colony New Germany!

This was Zhu Jingyuan's suggestion at the beginning.

William III and the court officials all believed from the bottom of their hearts that cooperation with Daming was the most correct choice.

It was a huge mistake to join the British Anti-Ming League.

Daming sold an existing fleet to Prussia, all semi-new ships with fairly good hull condition.

Daming helped Prussia master the operation and maintenance technology of capital ships.

Let Prussia have a fleet that can travel between the mainland and the colonies, and can guard the routes leading to the colonies.

An international alliance was also organized to establish an alliance of ports on the west coast of Mexico, so that all colonial ports would be open to each other.

It also stipulates the international strait system, so that Britain and France cannot block the English Channel in any name.

In this way, the sea routes from Prussia to the colonies are completely unblocked.

Before the World War, Prussia nominally acquired a colony in East Mexico.

But Prussia simply did not have the ability to protect this remote colony, nor did it devote its energy to developing it.

The current new German colony is truly in the hands of Prussia.

In the nearly three years after the end of the war, the Prussians devoted almost all their energy to the new Germany.

A large number of immigrants were sent to New Germany, where farmland was cultivated and cities and ports were established.

Develop oil fields, build oil refineries, develop iron mines, and build steel plants.

The whole New German colony was a busy scene.

Of course, it wasn't just Prussia that Ming supported.

Prussia, Lucia, Ottomans, Austria, Italy and other countries with less developed navies all bought ready-made battleships from Ming Dynasty at quite affordable prices.

Although from a design point of view, after the dreadnought battleships are in service, these capital ships will become obsolete products.

But it is enough to maintain sea routes.

And Daming is also teaching them to design new warships, and at the same time guiding them to transform the old battleships.

As long as they are willing to pay.

What's more, now that the world war is over, the whole world has turned to development and construction.

With the coordination platform of the League of Nations, there is no motivation for war among the various powers for the time being.

Now the entire west coast of Mexico, from Monaco to Southwest Mexico, is a bustling scene of prosperity.

All countries in Thailand and the West are concentrating on running their own Mexican colonies.

Areas near the coast, relatively mature areas, are doing their best to reclaim wasteland and build cities.

In the wild areas in the interior, there are armies and explorer teams active, discovering and conquering indigenous tribes.

It is extremely difficult for the Thai and Western countries to deal with the Ming Dynasty, but it is all cruel to deal with the indigenous tribes.

Including Ottoman, also found the glory of the past here.

Ottomans, Prussia, Lucia, Austria, and Italy mainly immigrated from the native land.

The population withdrawn from Yinzhou by Spain and Portugal was directly transferred to Mozhou in batches to build new colonies.

The British transported the population from Tianzhu through private merchants.

After the end of the war, the mainland of the Thai and Western countries quickly entered a state of recovery.

The imperial courts of various countries are reducing the production of the military industry and increasing the production of civilian industries.

Decommissioning and rehabilitating a large number of soldiers increases the agricultural and industrial workforce.

At the same time, it cooperates with the development of the colonies to ease the contradictions accumulated in the country.

Although Zhu Jingyuan did not have as many new technologies and new industries, the land and colonies were not as extensive as Ming Dynasty.

The overall level of prosperity is not comparable to that of Daming today, and it cannot reach the state of burning oil.

But they also showed a thriving scene.

Except England and France.

Britain and France were still fighting Napoleon in Northern Yinzhou.

In the evening, the banquet in Neu Königsberg began, and the protagonists of the banquet were of course the rulers of the two countries.

Those who attended the banquet included officials from the two colonies and high-level military officials.

and nobles traveling or wintering in the colonies.

The canonized and surrendered indigenous nobles of Mozhou were not included.

Tessi nobles despised them for their ugliness and stench.

Standing on the high platform in the middle of the banquet hall, the two rulers jointly announced the victory of the war ahead.

There was immediate applause at the scene.

William and Nicholas each spoke a few words, and then announced that the banquet was just beginning.

The brisk music sounded immediately, and the banquet entered into a joyous dance time.

William and Nicholas were about to find a partner to dance, when a messenger rushed into the banquet hall.

The dance on the scene paused for a moment, and everyone looked at the soldier.

It must have been extraordinarily important news to break in at a banquet given by the king.

Including Nicholas and William, they all suddenly became nervous.

"There shouldn't be any bad news..."

The signal soldier hurried to Nikolai and handed over a telegram.

Nicholas read it as fast as he could, then sighed softly with a complicated expression.

Then he handed the telegram in his hand to William next to him.

After reading it, William was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed:

"This should be considered good news, the border of New Lucia has been completely determined, the key is that no direct conflict broke out.

"The next step is to explore and build freely, so you don't have to worry about it anymore."

Of course Nicholas wants to get more land, so it is of course a pity that he directly encounters Daming's exploration team.

But William also had a point.

At the same time, William III, as the host, held up the telegram and said loudly to the crowd below:

"This is exciting news!

"The exploration team of the Lucia people and the exploration team of the Ming people met on the grassland in the middle of the Mozhou continent!
"The two of them started from the east and west sides of the Mozhou Continent, and jointly opened the passage to the Mozhou Continent.

"It was a great thing, something to go down in history.

"The honor belongs to Lucia and Ming's bravest explorers!

"Let's toast to their feat!"

A small number of representatives attending the meeting immediately thought of the significance of the encounter between Daming and Lucia, which meant that Lucia's exploration was over.

It is estimated that Lucia, and even Taixi's Mexican colony development period will soon come to an end.

The land of the whole world will also be completely divided up.

This is indeed a major event that can be recorded in the annals of history, but it may not be a good thing.

The external increment has disappeared, and it can only be competed internally in the future.

Although, since the Western Cape Peace Conference ended, the world has actually been divided up.

However, there is still a difference between the completion of the division on the map and the completion of the division in reality.

It's like the gap between the death sentence and the official execution.

Everyone knew this day would come, but they didn't expect it to be so soon.

But these people are not the majority.

Most of the ordinary officials and nobles were not given deep thought immediately.

I just took it for granted that the encounters with explorers from both sides of the continent were indeed exciting news.

The atmosphere at the scene immediately became more enthusiastic.

Everyone went to serve the wine and toasted with William III.

The banquet continued until late at night.

　I scratched my head and wrote until midnight, but I couldn't write anything, so let's update these first.
