Other countries aside, Britain will definitely oppose it, they are the beneficiaries of the world order, of course, that is, the defenders of the world order, any change in any place, will affect their power, the key is that Britain wants to continue to maintain the power of the world order, they must let the world run according to their vision, but the world is developing, so the backward strength that often promotes the development of the world will always conflict with a hegemon like Britain, the 21st century, the same in the 19th century. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

If Daming wants to dominate the world, it will inevitably conflict with Britain, and the British even plan to unite with European powers to collectively interfere with Daming, which is very terrifying, Britain's naval strength, transportation capacity, Germany's land strength, maritime capacity, and Russia's army strength, these three countries combined, not only can defeat the Daming navy, land in Chinese mainland, but also have the ability to project troops from a distance, defeating Daming is not a theoretical possibility, almost inevitable.

The only thing to consider is the concern of these countries about the high investment in long-distance warfare, whether they can recover the cost, and it is not that no country has the economic strength of the United Kingdom.

Therefore, the agreement reached with the British is nothing more than a delay, to buy time for the Ming Dynasty to peacefully swallow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this time cannot be too long, the night is long, there are many dreams, the change is too great, the possibility of the West forming an alliance to intervene, the possibility of the Manchu court not cooperating, it is almost certain that once the British are given enough time, they will definitely be able to form an alliance of interests to carve up China, and it is also certain that as long as the time is long enough, Cixi will not be a puppet, once it is thought that the great powers can protect their own lives, They will have different hearts, isn't this the case with the Korean royal family, one time to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, one time to Japan, and then to Russia, and finally the game collapsed, Concubine Min was killed by the Japanese ronin, I heard that there was something else.

Zhu Jinglun had already set three years, the first year was 1894, taking advantage of Japan's war with the Manchus, the Ming began to secretly infiltrate the Manchus, and launched commercial and diplomatic layouts; The second year was 1895, the end of the war, taking advantage of Cixi and Guangxu to find out the attitude of the Manchu governors, establish contact with them, send ministers in various provinces, play the role of the emperor, slowly remove local officials, and prepare for the Ming Dynasty to take over Manchu politics; The third year is this year, and this year's task is to further control the political situation in the north, and at the same time reach an understanding with the foreign powers, at least to do so, after the Ming annexation of the Manchu Qing, will not fight with the three sea and land forces of Britain, Germany, and Russia combined to crush the Ming Dynasty.

In these three countries, the contradictions between the Ming Dynasty and Russia are difficult to reconcile, and there is no big conflict of interest with Germany.

The conflict with Britain was mainly due to Britain's attempt to maintain the military policy of the East Asian continent, unwilling to unify the East Asian continent with the Ming Dynasty, and then becoming unrivaled, and then began to threaten Britain's position. However, unlike Britain's balance on the European continent, even if the East Asian continent is out of balance, it will not threaten the security of Britain itself, so Britain may not risk India being attacked by the Ming Dynasty and join the ranks of encirclement and suppression of the Ming Dynasty.

So Britain and Germany can fight for it, but Russia can't fight for it, cutting their own flesh to feed the eagle may be enough, but feeding the bear, fools are not willing to try.

So the diplomatic preparations of the Ming Dynasty began to tilt towards Germany, and the Ming envoy to Germany began to interact frequently with Germany, seeking the common interests of both sides, changing the past to resist Germany's ambitions for North Korea, and began to privately say that if Germany still wanted North Korea's Busan Bay, the Ming Dynasty was willing to come forward to persuade North Korea to lease it to Germany.

Busan Bay is the best deep-water port in North Korea, which the Germans have long investigated, otherwise they would not have rashly made such a request to the Ming a few years ago, but they could not get it here under the boycott of the Ming and the British, and now the Ming offered to help, why don't they do it.

Although sacrificing the interests of North Korea is shameful, it is much better than sacrificing the interests of the Ming Dynasty, and the introduction of German influence is not a bad thing for North Korea, at least they can use the power of Germany to resist Japan, a more ruthless hungry wolf. And once Germany has a foothold in Pusan, Japan will definitely be dissatisfied, they have already regarded Korea as a thing in their pocket, and it is the only gain from the war with the Manchus, and now Germany wants to gain a foothold here, which will inevitably provoke Japan. Britain probably did not want to see German forces invade East Asia and would side with Japan.

Japan is not the goal of the Ming Dynasty, it is the goal to provoke the already tense relations between Germany and Britain, once Britain and Germany cannot unite, the forces that interfere with the Ming Dynasty's unification of China will be at least one less, and there will be no one less person, and the pressure on the Ming Dynasty will be reduced by more than half.

Germany has forcibly occupied Nantong, which poses a huge threat to the interests of Britain on the Yangtze River, and Anglo-German relations are very stiff here in Asia, if the two sides confront each other because of the Pusan issue, Germany will choose a Ming Dynasty to help them develop their interests, or a British that sets up obstacles for them everywhere It is not difficult to choose, emotionally, Wilhelm II is a second disease, but he will say that he is the only German who likes Britain Such stupid things, when he is dissatisfied with Britain, it is not surprising to say anything, And once he is dissatisfied, it is almost impossible to get him to cooperate with the British.

It is not difficult to convince North Korea, because the Koreans have secretly contacted the Ming Dynasty many times, and the pressure from Japan on them is too great, and during the First Sino-Japanese War, the Korean court is reporting to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the history of thousands of years makes them trust the Central Plains country more than Japan. Japan's only harvest was Korea, after vigorously managing Korea, Japan's industrial products were frantically dumped in Korea in exchange for North Korean grain, resulting in North Korea's food shortage, constant famine, but could not stop trade, can only accept Japan's continuous export of hunger to Korea.

After the defeat of the Manchu Dynasty, he immediately sent someone to contact the Ming Dynasty, expressing his willingness to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and also praised the Ming Dynasty for being orthodox in the Central Plains and the inheritor of the Zhu Ming Dynasty.

But Daming has never agreed to North Korea's request, and now contact North Korea, in order to let North Korea lend Busan Bay, in exchange for the common protection of Daming and Germany, I believe that North Korea will not refuse, if it refuses, then let the Germans send cruisers to deter.

Wu Chongyao secretly met with the envoy of Dayuanjun, and made a strong statement to the other party, telling the other party that the Ming Dynasty was now unable to resist the alliance of Japan and Britain, and that other powerful countries must be introduced to confront it, but the Ming Dynasty could guarantee the security of Korea, help Korea maintain the independence of Jiangshan Sheji, and even force Japan to withdraw its military forces in Korea.

As for the credit of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Chongyao said that the Ming Dynasty easily did not make a promise, but once the promise was made, it would inevitably go to the soup to let North Korea see Vietnam, and after signing an alliance treaty with the Ming Dynasty, now France can not invade Vietnam, Ryukyu is the best example, Ryukyu was destroyed by Japan that year, the Ming army sent to Japan, let the Ryukyu return to the country, look at what the Ming Dynasty has done in Vietnam and Ryukyu over the years, can it be stationed in the two countries, can it be in the two countries?

North Korea is indeed very yearning for the fact that the Ming Dynasty does not interfere in the internal affairs of its neighbors, and Japan's interference in North Korea is too serious, supporting the pro-Japanese faction, clamoring all day long for what reform to change, today is not right here, tomorrow is wrong, Dayuanjun feels that he is simply an emperor.

If you can give up one Busan and keep the whole of North Korea, this account is quite cost-effective, and once North Korea is strong, it may not be impossible to recover it.

The only thing that worries North Korea is whether Germany, like Japan, will invade and even intensify its aggression against North Korea, or whether it will carve up Korea with Japan.

These Wu Chongyao all said that they could make a contract, and Daming was willing to guarantee it, and once Germany broke its promise, Daming swore to defend North Korea to the death.

Having said that, the North Korean envoy had no doubts, but he couldn't make a decision, and he had to go back and report to Dayuanjun.

The envoy said that the Wu of the Ming Dynasty was very serious, not like deceiving North Korea, and deceiving a small country like North Korea, it would be humiliating for a state like Daming, he analyzed that as far as he observed, the Ming Dynasty has always been courteous to Ryukyu in the past 20 years, and there has been no aggression, and to Vietnam, Siam and other states are also Huairou, and have never interfered in national affairs.

Dayuanjun was relieved, he was the king's father, and he used to fight with his daughter-in-law fiercely, but now his daughter-in-law was killed by the Japanese ronin, and he became the minister with the highest prestige in the court, but in fact, the court had the final say, it was the pro-Japanese faction supported by the Japanese, and even the king did not dare to oppose these pro-Japanese factions, let alone a powerful minister.

Last year, when Concubine Min was not dead, she secretly instigated the king of Joseon, that is, his son, to appoint four co-organizers alone without the consent of the cabinet, and the Japanese minister to North Korea, Inoue Shin, was furious, and entered the palace to ask Gojong whether he had interfered for the princess, and threatened to withdraw the Japanese troops who were suppressing the Donghak uprising at that time, and the five ministers of the Korean government were forced to admit their mistakes to Inoue Shin on behalf of the king.

The pro-Japanese Kaihua Party was originally supported by Concubine Min to fight against Daewonjun, but now the Kaihua Party has become a tool for Japan to control Korea, and the Min Concubine group is dead, and Daewonjun has become the only force capable of resisting the pro-Japanese faction.

After obtaining the support of the Ming Dynasty, Dayuanjun decided to give it a go and decided to lease Busan Bay to Germany in exchange for the dual protection of Germany and the Ming Dynasty.

On this basis, the Ming Dynasty negotiated with Germany, and proposed that if Germany wanted to lease Busan, it would have to undertake a certain amount of protection for Korea, and the Germans believed that they would not refuse to make Korea a German protectorate, and that if they could have an excellent port in Northeast Asia, Germany would be able to occupy an absolute advantage in opening up the huge markets of Japan, Korea, the Russian Far East, and Northeast China, which would greatly promote Germany's interests, and they were willing to pay these prices.
