One hand is a formal diplomatic treaty, the other is a traditional Zen ceremonies, taking care of both the new and the old, while satisfying the Western and Eastern traditions, so that the legal principles are complete. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But no matter how complete the legal process is, it will not reduce external obstruction.

Russia took the lead in issuing a statement of protest, refusing to recognize this annexation treaty, believing that the Ming Dynasty had illegally annexed the Qing Empire, and demanding that the Ming withdraw its troops and return the government to the Qing Emperor.

Britain immediately issued a strong protest, believing that the Ming had violated the ten-year agreement with the United Kingdom, and that the Ming had disrupted the balance in the Far East without authorization, hoping that the Ming would abandon the merger agreement and continue to maintain the previous situation.

Japan followed closely behind, not recognizing the annexation of the Qing Empire by the Ming Dynasty, saying that maintaining the territorial integrity of the Qing Dynasty was the consensus of all parties before, and the Ming Dynasty unilaterally undermined this consensus and should bear all the consequences.

The United States also did not admit it, and actively suggested that the international community intervene, and the United States believed that the annexation of the Qing Empire by the Ming Dynasty was the same act of aggression as the aggression against the United States, and that if the civilized countries did not stop it, the Ming Dynasty's expansion and aggression would harm more and more civilized countries.

France protested against this, believing that the move undermined the interests of various countries and hoped to convene an international conference to discuss the China issue.

Germany finally issued a statement expressing regret.

The major powers have expressed a variety of attitudes, but the implications are worth scrutinizing.

Russia must be the last country that wants to see the unification of China, and after the reunification of the Chinese region into a single country, no longer a geographical term similar to that of Germany in the past, this new country will be extremely powerful, and Russia's expansion in the East will have to be stopped. And since the Crimean War, eastward expansion has been Russia's policy.

As the biggest beneficiary of the world order, Britain certainly does not want to see a change in the geopolitical pattern of this scale, not to mention whether it will harm British interests, and the chain reaction triggered by it alone cannot be predicted, and in unpredictable circumstances, the hegemon tends to maintain stability.

Japan was reluctant to see the Ming annex the Manchus on the basis of the statement issued when they were forced to withdraw their troops from the North by the Ming and the British. However, their national strength was limited, in fact, they immediately sent envoys to communicate with the Ming, and they expressed their willingness to recognize the Ming annexation of the Manchus if conditions permitted, and this condition was that the Ming recognized Japan's special interests in Korea. Obviously, Japan is just using this incident as a diplomatic card to play, and it is most realistic to exchange a little benefit for itself, as for fighting with the Ming Dynasty again, even if it is to fight with other countries, Japan feels that it will not be able to share any benefits.

The reason why the United States suggested that the international community intervene is, first, that they do not want to see the Ming Dynasty continue to be strong, because the war with the Ming Dynasty that ended a few years ago has greatly damaged the vitality of the United States, and made Britain, France, and Germany make a lot of war money, while the United States owes huge debts. The hatred of the Ming Dynasty is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is a practical consideration, and they need to solve the social status quo of the Chinese in the three western states who are strongly squeezing whites.

The United States has now settled the Second Confederate State of the United States, and by orchestrating a mutiny, it has succeeded in dismantling the country, which is claimed to be the successor to the Confederate Confederate States. The ruling base of this country is too weak, although it is a country founded by the descendants of slave owners, but in order to win the support of the bottom tenant farmers, the Ming Dynasty even broke up the big plantations, which made it impossible for their biggest supporters to support them, and there was no ruling foundation at all. Mutiny is just one of the ways in which their regime will collapse, and the U.S. federal government has a way to end them.

After the end of the Second Confederate regime, the United States had the capacity to suppress black uprisings in the southern states and take measures in Washington, Oregon, and California. Before they took care of the Chinese organizations here, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was once again organized in the system of worshipping God, with a large number of weapons and equipment in their hands, and they were divided in the California Delta and the Sierra Nevada Mountains, although they nominally accepted the rule of the United States Federation, but they were self-contained internally, and the tax system was not connected with the United States, and the United States did not pay taxes at all. The Indians of Southern California began to exist in a nomadic form, which was also one of the realities of the American federal headache.

Now they have the strength to solve these problems, and the biggest worry is whether the Ming Dynasty will interfere, so they oppose the Ming Dynasty and use the power of the international community to suppress the Ming Dynasty, and if they can achieve their goal, they will leave enough space for them to solve the western problem.

France protested and suggested that the international community convene a conference to discuss China, and it is clear that this fallen empire is no longer able to deal with it alone, or dare to deal with major changes in the international situation on its own.

Germany expressed regret, and it was clear that after acquiring Nantong and Pusan in Korea from the Ming Dynasty, Germany, which lacked a navy, was temporarily fed, and it was unlikely that they would cooperate with Britain, a country that restricted their development at every turn, and attacked the Ming Dynasty, a country that defended their interests.

Therefore, it is only the United Kingdom and Russia that are really likely to take action, and other countries are only paying lip service and will not take substantive action. Add at most one France, and they may be able to cooperate with Russia because of their secret alliance treaty with Russia. But the Franco-Russian alliance would only further alienate Germany, which had in fact squeezed out of this possible circle of intervention by the Great Powers.

In response to this situation, the Ming Dynasty focused on diplomatic relations with Britain and Russia, especially the United Kingdom.

However, the British were very resolute, believing that the Ming Dynasty had violated the agreement with the United Kingdom, and that Britain could not accept such a violation of international law. Any international treaty is protected by international law, and is even one of the constituents of international law itself. The British are especially interested in these things, because they created them. The French once sighed bitterly, "The so-called international law is nothing more than the norms of foreign relations of the British Foreign Office."

Britain does not make sense here, but Russia says that it can negotiate, and Russia is only for territorial expansion. They made two demands, the first was Mongolia and the second was Manchuria, which they considered to be Manchu territory and not areas traditionally ruled by China. Russia pretended that if the Ming could hand over these two lands to the Qing emperor to continue to rule, and let the Qing continue to exist in their former territories, Russia could support the Ming to recover the areas of Chinese domination.

Saying that the Manchus should be restored in the Manchurian and Mongolian regions is just a pretext, maybe it will really be operated like this, but it is just to continue to use Guangxu, and even casually pull a Manchu royal family to support the façade and stabilize people's hearts, and when the time is ripe, they will naturally be thrown aside, a puppet Manchukuo.

Daming couldn't agree to this.

Although the work of international diplomacy has not been done well, but the issue of domestic unification is urgent, or it has not stopped in recent years, this is a large system project, the modern administrative institutions of the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu dynasty system docked with each other, there is too much work to do, in recent years has completed the control of the Manchu internal government agencies, but the new administrative style, procedures and so on still need time.

Compared with these tasks, the ritual work was not so important, and Zhu Jinglun did not even go to Xi'an to accept the Guangxu Emperor's concession according to the advice of some ministers, and stayed in Guangzhou to pay attention to the progress of political diplomacy.

In his opinion, the signing of the merger treaty means that the two countries have merged, or at least begun to merge, and that Chan concession is just to satisfy the vanity of the people, and everyone knows what is going on.

But Zhu Jinglun is willing to do a ceremony of transfer in Guangzhou to give a psychological explanation to the traditional scholar class, as for Guangxu's ceremony in Xi'an, there is really no need to go.

At this time, Emperor Guangxu, who was in the process of Zen, cried like a dog, but he did not dare to refuse. Because he gave up power in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he could still have a home, and if he forcibly left a false name, he would only invite death.

If he agrees to Chan and gives up the false name of the Qing Emperor, he can exchange for a place to stay, a place to be free and to make his own decisions.

In the merger agreement with the Ming Dynasty, it was officially stipulated that after the merger of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Ming Dynasty continued to recognize Guangxu's status as emperor, and permanently classified the Ming colony in the Pacific Ocean, the largest island in French Polynesia, and the beautiful Tahiti as the royal territory of Aixin Jueluo.

And the Ming Dynasty undertook the security of the Qing imperial territory, that is, this is the protectorate of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will establish a military base here to protect it, but the Guangxu Emperor will enjoy absolute authority here and exercise all the imperial powers that he can exercise in the Manchu Dynasty.

Tahiti was also renamed the Isle of the Emperors.

The Empress Dowager Cixi was reluctant to live with the emperor, probably worried that Guangxu would kill her, so Cixi got New Caledonia as a retirement place, and all taxes here would provide for her expenses, New Caledonia was also renamed Galeries Lafayette Island, during Cixi's lifetime, during Cixi's lifetime, this place will be completely managed by Cixi, and after Cixi's death, the Ming Dynasty will take back all power here.

Finding a place for Cixi and Guangxu in exchange for them giving up power is one reason, but this kind of person is still killed according to Chinese tradition, and as for the infamy of being captured, Zhu Jinglun doesn't care at all.

To find a place for these two people to settle, the most important thing is that Zhu Jinglun hopes to resolve social contradictions as much as possible.

The Manchu Qing ruled for more than 200 years, and it was deeply entrenched, and now it suddenly collapsed, and it was inevitable that a large group of people would jump out of the Manchu government, who would make trouble for the government when they had nothing to do, and even in the 21st century, there were still a large number of people singing praises for the Manchu government.

Now it's okay, the Ming Dynasty has merged with the territory of the Manchu Dynasty, but it has not exterminated the Manchu Dynasty, it is the loyal and filial son of the Manchu Dynasty, go to your emperor and the queen mother, it is on the Pacific Ocean, and the scenery is beautiful, the sun is warm, go and be loyal to your master, go and make cattle and horses for your emperor to serve the master.

Won't go?

It's so good, in the future, I will beep less, make less of a loyal and filial son, and refuse to be loyal to the new dynasty, and don't eat Zhou Su's disgusting appearance, and then a bunch of colleagues support each other.

This kind of people still exist thirty years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and now it's okay, the Ming government is in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and in the territory of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they take turns to publicize, post notices, and advertise in the newspapers, telling them where your masters are, and where to go with allegiance to them, and shouting in front of others all day long.

From now on, if there are people with braided hair, who think they are superior, who are filial sons and grandsons, who accuse others of being unfilial, and others can choke on them, why don't you go to your emperor if you are loyal? can choke a group of people to death at once, I believe in this policy, there will be many people who will quietly cut off the white braids that have been treasured for many years, and there will be many people who will no longer shout not to eat Zhou Su, no matter what they think, they can't say it to affect the audio-visual.

Fewer discordant voices in society will make society much more stable.

Sure enough, on the basis of the Ming Dynasty has controlled the police in the interior, the control of officials in various places, Guangxu's Zen edict to the world, did not cause the literati and doctors to resist, in the eyes of most people, the Manchu regime is also on the verge of death, it is not difficult to accept the change of this regime, although a few people are dissatisfied, it has not yet reached the point of pulling the pole to defend this regime, which is different from the change of seasons at the end of the Ming Dynasty, at that time Wang Fuzhi and other literati elites thought that the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs to replace Huaxia with barbarians, And Da Ming is obviously not a barbarian.

However, there are also a very small number of diehards, among which the children of the Eight Banners and loyal servants from Baoyi are the mainstays, especially the latter, due to the large base and large number, they gather in groups in front of the major yamen and cry bitterly.

However, the substantive military resistance did not take place, and the military organizations such as the garrison of the Eight Banners, which were focused on, also expressed their allegiance to the new dynasty, or expressed their willingness to follow the emperor to Emperor Island.

Compared with the domestic remnants who did not have the courage to resist, maintained Guangxu's nominal status, and gave them a venting point, domestic politics maintained a relatively smooth transition, and international diplomacy was not so calm.

Negotiations with the British have not been smooth, and the Ming have expressed their willingness to continue to recognize some of the privileges of the British, but the British still cannot accept them.

The Russians could not accept it, after the Ming Dynasty explicitly rejected their conditions to allow the Manchu Qing to restore the country in the Manchu and Mongolian regions, the Russians found an imperial prince from somewhere, announced the succession in Kulen, claiming that the territory included the entire Manchu and Mongolian regions, and then the Russian army sent troops to the northeast in the name of helping the Qing Empire recover the lost territory, and occupied the three eastern provinces controlled by Iktanga in an instant.

Iktanga expressed his allegiance to this Qing Dynasty, because the emperor of the Qing Dynasty was the younger brother of Guangxu supported by the Russians, Aixin Jueluo Zaifeng, and the condition of Iktanga's loyalty was that he only recognized Zaifeng as the temporary emperor, and once the Guangxu Emperor was rescued from the hands of the puppet Ming, Zaifeng wanted to return the government to Guangxu.

Of course, the Russians agreed to this so-called demand, so the Russian army advanced to the entire three eastern provinces in an instant, and the entire three eastern provinces were controlled by the Russian army, except for Dalian.

The sudden action of the Russians completely broke the situation in the region, and the two countries were on the verge of war.

But at this time, the Ming and Britain still could not reach an agreement, and the British proposed to support the Ming Dynasty to fight Russia in an all-out way, on the condition that the Ming Dynasty gave up the annexation treaty and continued to recognize Guangxu's status as emperor.

Zhu Jinglun really didn't expect Britain to be so difficult, and if he didn't get Britain's support, even if he could confront Russia, it would still be a trouble sooner or later, but it would be better to take advantage of the pressure from Russia to go south now and get Britain's support.

So he decided to adopt a ploy of reconciliation with Russia, at least superficially, in order to put pressure on Britain and to gain a buffer time for a possible future war with Russia, and to gain a dominant position in international diplomacy.
