Chapter 389: The rules of the game are set by me
Seeing Zhang Lingyang say this, Wilson couldn't help but be stunned, and then came back to his senses and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I hereby declare that before I receive a reply from China, there is no state of war between England and Da Zhou. ”
"That's weird!" Zhang Lingyang sneered, "The British Governor's Mansion in Tianzhu has already invaded Burma, a vassal state of my Great Zhou Dynasty, four months ago, and now my Great Zhou has sent troops into Burma to wage war with your country, is this not considered a state of war?"
Then Wilson, I ask you, this is not a state of war, but what is a state of war? You don't think that until you hit my Great Zhou homeland, the two countries will officially go to war, right? ”
Wilson couldn't help but be dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer Zhang Lingyang's words.
At this time, the French envoy Pierre sneered: "Your Excellency Wilson, since His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor does not want to deal with you, you should stay where you come from!" ”
He once again gave a gentlemanly salute to Zhang Lingyang, and Pierre said: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou, I don't know if I, as an envoy to France, can I ask you this question?" ”
"Absolutely!" Zhang Lingyang nodded and said, "In fact, I issued this holy decree long before the departure of my Great Zhou Royal Navy, I think you won't forget it, right?" ”
"Of course not!" Pierre said, "But Your Majesty the Emperor, although we all understand that this incident is obviously the fault of the Franco, but the slaughter of the captives is inhumane.
And Your Majesty the Emperor, you are merciful, I don't think you will watch those unarmed captives being slaughtered wantonly, right? This is a clear violation of the norms of war! ”
"Violation of the rules of war?" Zhang Lingyang smiled faintly, "Even if it violates the rules of war, it is also the code of war that Franc Ji violated first." At that time, Franco's wanton massacre of our Great Zhou diaspora in Borneo was an ironclad fact. ”
"But ......"
"No, but!" Pierre wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Zhang Lingyang, "I don't care what you thought before?" How? But since you have come to the Great Zhou, you have to follow the rules of the game of the Great Zhou.
Since the Francophiles dare to slaughter our Great Zhou nationals, they must be prepared to be slaughtered by our Great Zhou soldiers, and there is nothing to justify.
As for humanitarianism? Zhang Lingyang smiled, "Everyone, did the soldiers of your country follow humanitarianism when they were in the colonies?" ”
"Here, I can tell you plainly that this time I slaughtered not only the captured Franc soldiers, but also those Franc Mechanic merchants, I will not let go.
Since they chose to offend Da Zhou, they have to bear the wrath of Da Zhou, which is nothing to talk about. ”
"Then His Majesty the Emperor is not afraid that he will offend all European countries because of this?" Wilson jumped out again and said.
"What if you are offended?" Zhang Lingyang said disapprerovingly, "I tell you, this time, whether it is Francois or England, since you have chosen to offend Da Zhou and start a war against Da Zhou, it is up to you to say when the war will end." ”
"Also, Wilson, you might as well write a letter to your Governor of Tianzhu, and when the matter in Burma settles down, I will also order the army to continue to attack Tianzhu, so that he can be prepared."
"Your Majesty, you can't do this!" Wilson said, "The invasion of Burma was the choice of Governor Frank of Tianzhu alone, and had nothing to do with the English government. ”
"Why doesn't it matter?" Zhang Lingyang sneered, "Isn't the Governor of Tianzhu your official in England?" ”
"Well, since you said that it has nothing to do with your English government, then please send the head of the governor of Tianzhu to me, and I will take the initiative to make peace with you English."
"Your Majesty, I hereby strongly disagree with what you said before, the English Empire is a sovereign and complete country, even if Frank violates any laws, it should be judged by the English Empire, and your country has no right to intervene."
"That's ridiculous!" Zhang Lingyang said with a smile, "Since the Governor of Tianzhu single-handedly provoked the war between Zhou and Britain, then why should I ask for his head?" Didn't you just say that this war was entirely the work of the Governor of Tianzhu alone? ”
Wilson wanted to argue, but Zhang Lingyang waved his hand to stop him, "I don't want to listen to your nonsense here." I have given you two months, and if after two months, I have not received your sincerity for peace, then it is no wonder that I have plucked the most shining pearl of your Queen's gateway with my own hands. ”
"And you!" Zhang Lingyang looked at the faces of the European envoys in the hall and said, "It doesn't matter what you think in your hearts, but here, all the rules of the game are set by me!" ”
After leaving the palace, a group of European envoys gathered together in groups and said: "This Great Zhou Emperor is really domineering. ”
Another envoy smiled when he heard this: "Why, your country also wants to challenge the authority of the Great Zhou in East Asia?" ”
"I didn't say that!"
This is the capital of the Great Zhou, and the words that the Great Zhou Emperor just said made a layer of cold sweat on their backs.
You know, even the most domineering emperor of the Rus' state in Europe did not dare to say such a thing. Besides, most of these envoys are envoys of small countries, so how can they dare to express any different opinions?
After all, they are not a power like England and France?
Even Wilson, the envoy of the overlord of the sea, was deflated in front of the Great Zhou Emperor just now?
"It's going to be windy!"
In the embassy area, the French envoy Pierre poured a glass of red wine, stood in front of the window and took a sip, looking at the swaying branches outside the window, muttering to himself.
After the English envoy Wilson returned to the embassy, he dropped several cups in a row, and kept scolding: "This damn Frank, why did he stir up trouble at this juncture?" Okay now? ”
It got to this point, and Wilson really didn't know how to end it.
No matter how to say that the British invasion of Burma by Tianzhu this time was the first loss of England, and it was necessary to give an explanation to Da Zhou.
But the request of the Great Zhou Emperor, Ying Ji would not agree to it no matter what.
No matter how big a crime Frank, the governor of Tianzhu, committed, even if he wants to be shot, he should be tried by England, if it is handed over to Da Zhou? Then the sovereignty of England will be seriously provoked.
But now more than four months have passed since the British invaded Burma, and Wilson has not received a single letter about the country, which makes Wilson have to wonder: How much does the country know about the invasion of Burma?
Or is this war simply driven by the Cabinet!
Otherwise, how could he, the envoy stationed in Dazhou, not know anything about it?
