Chapter 412: Peace Talks
But this white immigration incident is just a small episode in the end. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoFor the Ming Dynasty, it was more important to sign a peace treaty with the United Kingdom, so that it would recognize the status of the Ming Dynasty in the South Seas. At the same time, if it is possible, to scavenge a little more profit from India.
But the so-called anxious can't eat hot tofu! Although Daming wanted to sign a peace treaty, he must not take the initiative. They sent additional warships to cruise the coast of India. As a result, both the merchant ships coming from Britain and the merchant ships going to sea from India were all confiscated without exception.
The three younger brothers, Assam, Manipur, and Arakan, also increased their offensive against British India under the orders of the Ming Dynasty. During this period, Daming once again played the skills of a businessman. Let Assamese, Manipur, Arakan and other local forces use the looted money to exchange weapons with the Ming Dynasty.
Those obsolete muskets, which were not even refurbished, were sold at sky-high prices two or three times higher than the original price. And sent military expeditions into the troops of these local powers and taught them how to deal with the British.
Of course, during this period, there will also be a little private goods. For example, the Ming Dynasty's extremely deceptive and confusing political and political concepts such as 'equality for all, respect for people's rights, common prosperity and prosperity, and being the master of the family' were propagated. For this set, Daming has already used it perfectly. The propaganda methods have also been revised and verified again and again. can't write Zou Zou, people can't understand.
Therefore, when it is promoted, it is all in the vernacular. It sounds very easy to understand. In the end, the targets of Ming propaganda are basically people at the bottom of society. Not only does he read less, but he also has a short range of knowledge. So in terms of character, he has a very heavy citizen mentality. In layman's terms, it is more selfish.
And the concept of Ming propaganda is related to their own interests. In this case, it's hard for them not to be impressed.
This is like the 'color, color, and life' launched by European and American countries in later generations, allowing them to make trouble on their own. When the time comes, Daming will free up his energy, and he will be able to easily give these princely states a nest.
Of course, it's not time to go overboard. Therefore, the military expeditions sent by the Ming Dynasty in the past were mainly focused on dealing with the British. The northeast of India is almost a beacon fire. If it weren't for these local forces, it would be too weak. The whole of northern India may be plunged into continuous wars.
However, this does not mean that southern India is at ease. The southern princely states that had been beaten by the British before, under the assignment of the Ming Dynasty, raised troops one after another. Especially after a large amount of gold and silver treasures were sent to the Ming Dynasty, and batches of firearms were imported into the hands of the southern princely states. The losses of the British, several times greater.
There was no way, the British Governor, who was blockaded in northern India, could only keep sending people to report the emergency in India to the British mainland. and land and water, in order to escape the blockade. After nearly 100 failures, a ship finally escaped back to the British mainland.
But the messenger got an even more shocking truth.
That's the big flu!
It turned out that due to the blockade of the Ming Dynasty, many migrant boats that escaped from the British mainland were intercepted. As a result, the Indian side did not get a single bit of news about the British. The messenger of the message was so surprised.
After a few more days of quarantine and several tedious physical examinations, he finally met the king. Without further ado, he illustrates India's predicament. Because he had written down what he was going to say with a pen before. So now, the king just wanted to make sure.
When he learned that what he said was true, even a hundred times more serious than what was written on paper, the king of England was also anxious. Immediately summon the minister and discuss important matters.
In the end, it was unanimously concluded that the war must be stopped immediately. Otherwise, Britain's losses will only grow. So Britain immediately sent an envoy to France in person. This is because the Ming Dynasty set up an embassy in France. Contact with it, you can get the word out more quickly, the original intention of the British.
In fact, before that, Daming also set up an embassy in the United Kingdom. However, after the start of the war, the wise sides recalled their ambassadors. So much so that now, the British have to make an extra trip.
To come to Nancy, the British envoy Fairlando. What a breath of relief. Because along the way, it really can't be peaceful. From the landing in Calais, the scenery along the way is only desolate. Occasionally, I see one or two figures, and they are like ghosts.
That's nothing!
The most feared thing is that there are unidentified people who run to me to beg for food. If you get sick, you can't even touch it. So it felt like going through hell.
In addition, there are many fierce and vicious robbers who will suddenly run out and rob and rob. It is also that the power of the flu is too great, so that there is a power vacuum in many places. Then the order collapsed, and the dark side of man was put to the greatest.
And because of the flu, there is a sharp drop in food all over Europe. As winter approached, hunger and cold followed. If you don't have enough food, it's hard to survive the bitterly cold winter.
Fernando and his entourage suffered no less than 20 robberies and robberies. Among them, the British mainland, because of the escort of soldiers, there was no chaos. But in France, the situation is different. Not only is it difficult to find the local magistrate in France, but even if it is, it is difficult to get help. Because most of the soldiers were evacuated to Nancy, a city in the northeast of France, with the French government formed by Napoleon.
As a result, important cities, including Paris, were abandoned.
In this way, the British mission went through many hardships and overcame many obstacles before finally reaching Nancy.
During this period, Fernando's mood can no longer be described as bad. Because after the flu broke out, he hid in a country villa. For the outside world, although there is some understanding. But seeing it with my own eyes, I was still very shocked.
Especially the desolate sight, which is simply shocking. Like London, the capital of the great empire, it is no different from a ghost town. So much so that when he took the boat, he was a little incredulous. After passing through Paris, France, this famous historical and cultural city known for its romance no longer has a trace of vitality.
Coupled with the endless stream of robbers, he couldn't sleep all night long.
(Thank you for the commuter pass of the quiet nerd, the crimson bear.) I also thank the yellow potato, I wish to have a hearted person, a good person and a good dream, and the recommendation votes of Qin, Han and Tang Ming. Time is indeed the best proof, and your perseverance is my greatest perseverance.
So in today's two exams, and there is still a situation of revision. Deliberately took the time to code out a chapter. I'm so sorry! After all, exams are important. When the exam is completed, the updated status will be restored. (To be continued.) )
