736 Haiti
The power of Datang has been recognized by the whole world, and it is ahead of the times in terms of economy, military and civilization. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 🔥 It is always said that with great power comes great responsibility. Leaving aside the logic of this statement, the most common situation is actually that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility to come to the door.
On the other hand, if country C's economy and trade do not develop, its people will not go abroad to do business, they will not encounter the danger of pirates or anything, and they will not need the navy to patrol the Gulf of Aden. It is the duty of the people of the country to take care of it, and it is an unshirkable responsibility.
The other kind of responsibility is the responsibility that others ask you for. It is also another example of country C, country C, whose strength has skyrocketed, makes it difficult for an emperor to sleep and feel that his hegemony is being challenged. Even if country C, which is accustomed to having nothing to do with itself, repeatedly reiterates that it has no intention of competing for global leadership, the delusion of being killed is something that cannot be let go of since the dawn of mankind.
In recent years, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Datang has become a high-status, the same thing is also a lot of ministries, the former Ministry of Foreign Affairs is relatively leisurely, there are not a few countries that have established diplomatic relations, although there are many countries for trade, but there are not too many problems, at that time, the last class feels that it is similar to going to the office for a holiday, and many people who do not like to be busy like to enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
But now the situation is changing a little fast, and Datang has pulled up a number of internationalist brother countries, which have appeared from South America to Europe. Datang has the status and responsibility of the big brother of internationalism for these countries, and each country has countless projects and projects to carry out, most of which need the endorsement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In addition to the younger brother of his own camp, President Bai Da "made a Warsaw system from a high vantage" in Europe after the war, and from that time on, the people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had to turn around. Almost every country they have to talk about, Warsaw's trade system is multilateral, although the structure can be determined to be a free trade with low tariffs and fewer restrictions, but the situation of each country is different, many countries have industries that hope to be protected, so how to protect, whether to set quotas or increase tariffs, must be discussed in detail one by one. After talking about agricultural products and textiles, textiles and industrial raw materials, in short, a ministry that was originally deserted suddenly became a place prone to overwork and death.
The officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are busy, but some people still think that they are not busy enough.
Not long ago, the relevant officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs met with the Haitian envoy who came from the Caribbean, and the envoy came up and said that he hoped that Haiti could join the Tang Dynasty and become an overseas territory of the Tang Dynasty, and that Haiti hoped to obtain a certain degree of autonomy so that the local blacks could make their own decisions about their own destiny. Of course, the Haitians wanted the Don Army to intervene and help them drive out the French, British, and Spaniards.
The Haitian Revolution has been going on vigorously for several years, and during the previous European war, the European powers could not care about it. The black rebel army led by Lou Wethur has taken over the island. After the battle of unification, Toussaint? Louwitur established a revolutionary regime and selected and appointed blacks and mestizos to government officials at all levels. The new government appointed Desarin to oversee the country's agricultural production, called on the displaced people to return to the plantations within a set time, distributed large tracts of wasteland to landless peasants and soldiers, and issued decrees following the labor laws of the Tang Dynasty to shorten the working hours of cultivators and establish a minimum wage guarantee, while strictly prohibiting the owners from buying and selling and whipping cultivators. Haiti has also signed trade agreements with Datang and the United States to develop foreign trade. Soon after, Lou Vitor also promulgated Haiti's first constitution, declaring the permanent abolition of slavery, the equality of all inhabitants before the law, the inviolability of private property, and the promotion of free trade. Toussaint? Louwitur is president for life and has the right to choose his successor.
However, as soon as the dream of the ambitious leader of the black uprising came to fruition, the war in Europe ended. The French Directory sent an army of 20,000 men, all veterans of the Revolutionary War, who were good at fighting, to cross the Atlantic to attack Haiti.
After all, the Haitian rebels were a rabble, so they faced the French army with successive defeats. At this time, the British and Spaniards also wanted a piece of the pie, and Saint-Dominique in the east of the island of Haiti was a Spanish colony, and after the Sino-Western War, a large number of Spaniards fled from Mexico and South America to live here.
Lou Weituer knew that it was impossible to do so, so he immediately sent this envoy to Datang, ostensibly hoping to sacrifice land and lose sincerity, but in fact he hoped that Datang, a country that claimed to preside over justice, would be able to meddle in the situation in Haiti.
For this black president's little trick, the Tang people still see it very clearly. If Datang really takes over this stall, then there will be further rifts in relations with France. At the same time, it will also provoke the displeasure of Spain. Naturally, Datang will not be afraid of these two countries, but Bai Nan himself does not want to accept Haiti as Datang's overseas territory, let alone the so-called autonomous overseas territory of Lou Weituer. Datang is a typical unitary state, there is no situation where local power can be called out and disobedient by the central power, and once the opening of autonomy is opened, other overseas territories may also make similar demands, so that the entire assimilation policy and ruling model of Datang will be shaken.
But the situation in Haiti is not very good, after all, it is at the doorstep of Datang in the Caribbean, and if a continuous war leads to refugees, or even endangers the coastal areas of Datang, Datang does not want to see.
As a result, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Datang sent a note to the ambassadors of France and Spain, saying that Britain was a foreign party, and Datang was not willing to talk to them at all.
Datang means that the Haitian people's desire for independence and freedom is strong, and their demands are relatively reasonable, and Datang wants to see peace and stability in the Caribbean, so Datang suggested that many countries recognize the Republic of Haiti, and at the same time, the Republic of Haiti also guarantees the interests of many countries in Haiti. For example, some of the plantations of French and Spanish landlords in Haiti need to be returned, but the sovereignty of the country remains with the Republic of Haiti. The trade and investment interests of France and Spain should also be guaranteed in Haiti, with France, Spain, and Datang all able to trade with Haiti on relatively favorable tariffs and rules, and the three countries grant such preferential treatment to Haiti.
