The reason for such a concession in London was partly due to Anson. Of course, Britain will not allow Anson to be tried by Anson, and some of the details of the new clause are also in exchange for Anson. When Anson returned home and disembarked in Portsmouth Harbour, he was warmly welcomed by tens of thousands of people. Although London was annoyed by its involvement in the diplomatic situation, and it was even more illegal to sell loot in Baltimore without authorization, in order to create an atmosphere that Britain did not lose to Seris, Anson had to portray Anson as a hero fighting against the dragon Seris.

After Anson returned home, the news he said at the interrogation meeting shocked London, and the original sense of humiliation was alleviated a lot. Knowing that the Seris had taken control of the western shore of the vast ocean in the East and the southern continent, everyone from the Prime Minister to the Admiral had to admit that their concessions were undignified, and that such a powerful country should be treated as equal to Spain and France. Considering that the exchange of interests with Spain and France was based on the principle of strength and equality, the lords of London were also at peace.

It's just that when looking down at the world map that Anson has supplemented, everyone still can't help but sigh, why didn't they start early? What a vast territory, what a wealth it contains! But now it has a name, the principle of colonizing the world is first come, first served, and then the knife is used, and the three naval battles of Ceylon are a lesson from the past.

After all, Asia and even the Pacific Ocean are too far away, even if the Seris bought Spanish Upper California, which is on the same continent as the colonies of the Thirteen States, but there are still French colonies and Indians in between. Seris was not a formidable opponent in front of Britain after all.

For Britain, the ambition is great, but the arms are not long enough to take over the world. The sun never sets on the empire has only begun to take shape, and it is really unnecessary to compete with the eastern power on the other side of the world.

The vision is so. Britain also faces a grim near-sightedness, with the War of the Polish Succession abandoned, the clouds of war over Europa proper, the surging French undercurrents, the rise of Prussia, and the continued fermentation of the rancid Habsburgs.

After much deliberation, the British elite finally began to change their minds and seriously consider the proposal of Sir Lawrence, Minister to Serris: there was no need to gain advantage from Serisna by force. Try to get along with Britain to get more benefits.

After careful analysis, London believes that the limit of Seris's colonization is India and Upper California, and the vast territory of the mainland and the huge population of 150 million determine that it is not necessary or possible for Seris to focus his resources on foreign colonization. There is no conflict of strategic interest between Britain and Seris, only inevitable commercial competition. The latter can be controlled entirely through tariffs and copycat Seris's specialty goods as soon as possible, and can even be resolved through friendly negotiations and exchange of interests.

Anson told him how to prevent and treat scurvy, which earned him another honor, and at the same time made London's positioning of the country of Seris closer to the camp of orderliness and goodness, good man. It's a bit silly, but isn't it a matter of course to get closer to such a good person?

It's just that, like Anson, London, from the king to the prime minister, from parliamentarians to ordinary officials, has not figured out why Seris has taken the initiative to spread such a significant technology after the cowpox inoculation technology.

In September 1740, when Stinger's lieutenant piloted the cruiser Weak Water on the way home with the revised peace agreement, Wang Youdun, known as the "Second Foreign Minister of Seris" by the countries of Europa, published the "Seris Proposal for the Welfare of Mankind" in Lisbon, known as the "Lisbon Declaration". …,

The promulgation of this declaration shocked Europe.

In the declaration, Wang Youdun said that Emperor Seris and the people of Seris have the world in their hearts and are willing to contribute to the achievements of Seris's civilization over thousands of years, and to achieve global peace and common happiness of mankind by improving the medical and health standards of all countries around the world. Seris was full of sincerity in this cause, as evidenced by the free dissemination of cowpox inoculation technology to the world, and the declaration also made the prevention and treatment of scurvy public, as Stinge said to Anson, Britain had mastered this method and classified it as a military secret, but only two months later, it was known to passers-by.

The Declaration proposes a bold initiative that, at first glance, borders on the innocent fantasy. Seris wants to build an organization that transcends borders and has nothing to do with politics, and this organization only serves the health of mankind, so he not only attracts doctors and scientists from all over the world, but also hopes that governments will join in to promote medical care.

Seris made a number of promises that showed that she was serious. Seris has published several catalogs showing her advances in pathology, surgical medicine, and epidemic prevention technology, and doctors and scientists in related fields can share their technical achievements and even participate in public research projects on a limited basis by joining this organization. And the governments of other countries can also have full exchanges and even receive medical assistance from Seris.

At the end of the proposal, Seris elaborated on the reasons why he did this, and it was the first time that Seris expounded his ideas of "Heavenly Dao" and "Heaven and Man" in a formal diplomatic declaration. According to Seris, the pursuit of common happiness is the noblest goal of mankind. Although all countries have different interests and ideologies, respecting human life and protecting human health is the moral bottom line that all countries and all people should recognize. Seris hopes to push this bottom line to the whole world, so that people all over the world can embark on the glorious path of common happiness.

As soon as this declaration was issued, Europa was immediately plunged into a realm of ice and fire, and countless doctors, pharmacologists and chemists wrote passionately to Seris's legation in Lisbon, expressing their desire to join the organization, and the flow of people rushing directly to Lisbon was also endless. If this proclamation had been thrown out of thin air, everyone would have thought that it was unacceptable, but Seris had taught Europa free cowpox inoculation techniques for many years, and smallpox, which was regarded as a terrible plague by Europe, was no longer an unconquerable plague. This has established in the hearts of Europa people the image of the people of Seris as skilled in medicine and passionate about philanthropy, and now makes such a declaration. It's not a rootless tree.

The Seris craze has swept Europa again, and countless people in Europa have been saved by Seris's cowpox inoculation technology, when the people praised someone as a moral model. They will say, "You really look like a Seris", and now that this declaration comes out, everything that has anything to do with Ceris is linked to "sacred", "pure", and "good". Later historians counted the vocabulary of the 18th century and found that most of the words had roots such as "Seres", and even "Saint", which originally meant "saint", was replaced by the new word "Serens" in some regions.

In contrast to the civil frenzy, governments have shown a striking indifference. It can even be described as fear. Taking Britain as an example, London's first reaction was: Seris is so ambitious!

It is the knee-jerk reaction of politicians around the world to gain the moral high ground through advanced medicine, thereby organizing the world into an entirely new paradigm that paves the way for Seris to pursue global interests.

In this era, there are no international morals and "universal laws" in the realm of morality, and only a few areas such as war, diplomacy, and commerce can barely make up for "international conventions." International law, which has just taken shape, follows the principle of interests and strength of Chiguoguo. …,

In this era, governments are keen to make a fortune for vested interests, and they see themselves as businessmen and robbers, international morality. This is not at all something that the national government of this era should think about. This thing is still attached to the realm of religion, and although the control of religion over the "civilized world" has been broken by the emerging powers with the business class at its core, its inertia is still particularly strong.

Although this thing is still monopolized by religion and the state has not been able to get involved, it does not mean that the elites do not know it. Countries have also vaguely mentioned international morality in successive diplomatic peace treaties, but that is only a banner to cover up the banditry.

Now that Seris is coming out like this, of course, everyone will speculate in the direction of conspiracy theories, but even the elite can't guess how Seris is going to use this matter to make a profit and unite the doctors...... I can't figure it out.

Worried and ignorant, governments have no choice but to pretend to be blind and dumb.

In stark contrast to the government's reaction, and even more so to the reaction of the people, the religious forces burst out with astonishing enthusiasm after reading this manifesto, and the enthusiasm of the crusade against Seris.

In November, the Holy See publicly stated that the well-being of mankind is God-given, and that it would be extremely disrespectful to Catholicism to talk about the common welfare of mankind without the gospel of God! Seris's proclamation is heresy and an attempt to create a godless hellish world, and Catholicism will never tolerate such blasphemy.

Carrying the resentment of Seris for many years of forbidden Catholicism to spread freely within his borders, the papal see's condemnation quickly escalated to "excommunication", some sects such as the Jesuits that remained in Seris were declared dissolved, and the Holy See also encouraged France and Spain to launch a "holy war".

At a time when priests were also doctors, bloodletting was still the main form of healing, and Seris's Lisbon Declaration was too far ahead of its time for most Europa people to accept. As the Holy See stirred it up, even Protestants and other denominations condemned the declaration as an entry into the "realm of God."

But this did not hinder the enthusiasm of doctors and scientists, and the catalogue published by Seris in his manifesto allowed them to discover a new world, belonging to another God, omniscient and omnipotent, but cold and unforgiving, and mankind could never hear directly and never see the whole picture.

The Holy See's condemnation reveals the essence of this declaration, which is a "human" declaration that is feared not only by religious forces, but also by governments.

By December, various organizations had appeared in Europa under the banner of "celestial beings," including all humanists, contractualists, and liberals. For them, the Lisbon Declaration is a strategic weapon, and although the declaration is talking about medical care and human health, the "universal law" expounded in the declaration is the theoretical weapon they dream of.

Montesquieu of France said enthusiastically: "The idea of heaven and man comes from the ancient theory of the unity of heaven and man, and in the rebellion of the Cyris against the oppression of the Tatars, new branches have grown on the ancient tree that has survived for thousands of years. This new branch is more modest than the idea of human emancipation that is spreading in France, but it is also more powerful. ”

Voltaire rejoiced: "The people of Seris believe that freedom belongs not only to theirs, but also to the whole world, and they proudly roar to the whole world, and all who are willing to run to civilization should open their hearts, accept this voice, heed her call, and fight for their liberation!" ”

Rousseau put it more bluntly: "When Seris issued the Lisbon Declaration, the court and government of the Kingdom of France changed their previous attitude towards Seris and denounced the Declaration as a hypocritical doctrine with a great conspiracy. In terms of general logic, the thing that makes the enemy tremble is our weapon ......"...,

The British philosopher, Bishop Berkeley, could not help but comment in the newspapers: "Although I also think that the exposition of universal law by the Seris has political motives, the Manifesto's discussion of the realm of the human mind is clearly out of bounds. But the common concern for ourselves, that is, 'people', is a sacred topic that all of us should face. For the first time, the Lisbon Declaration brought the whole world to this topic, and in that respect it was pleasing to God. ”

Frederick II, who had just ascended the throne of Prussia in that year and was leading his country to prepare to rebuke Fang Xuan, was a follower of Voltaire, and he was the first to welcome the Lisbon Declaration in the name of the country, and expressed his full support for the organization proposed by the declaration. When the ministers advised him not to be so reckless, he laughed aloud and said: "A thick fog of decay hangs over Europa, and the backward empires, the vile politicians, and the ugly old aristocracy try to block all the progress of Europa!" This declaration is the sword of light from the East! I'm going to use it to dispel the clouds above my head and let Prussia rise in Europa! ”

It was only at this time that governments around the world saw the power of this declaration and saw the toxins hidden in the declaration, yes, Seris was using health and medical treatment to promote their heavenly ways and the virtues of heaven and man, trying to turn them into universal laws. While Europa was still holding up the world with religion and God, the Seris brought their heavens...... Unfortunately, the celestial nature of the Seris is in the same vein as the ideas of the Enlightenment that are now taking rise in the countries of Europa.

Governments faced the declaration with mixed feelings, and Portugal joined the initiative of Seris, which was enthusiastically responded to by Prussia.

In December, when a large number of doctors and scientists gathered in Lisbon to announce the establishment of the "Médecins Sans Frontières Frontières Federation" in response to the Lisbon initiative, Britain also responded to the initiative in the name of the government, not only allowing its own people to join relevant organizations, but also to exchange and cooperate with Seris in the medical field.

Considering that the Holy See is in full swing, this is a good thing for Britain, which has always been at odds with the Holy See, and at the same time, the benefits of attaching Syriss to this matter are real, and the British government has made a very realistic choice.

Spain, France and other countries were influenced by the Holy See, although they did not publicly express their position, but they also rejected the Holy See's request to condemn Seris and declare the relevant organizations illegal, for the sake of the health of the king and nobles, it was necessary to send a doctor to Seris to learn scriptures, how could they offend Seris so much.

When he returned to China at the beginning of 1741, he had a long conversation with Wang Youdun before leaving, and he had too many questions about the Lisbon Declaration.

Wang Youdun praised Shi Tingge first: "This is thanks to you, originally His Majesty wanted us to act on cameras, and there was not enough foreshadowing to promote this matter." ”

Then he smiled and said: "In fact, if you substitute this situation for the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, you should understand why we want to take the banner of Heaven and Man from home to abroad to recruit exhibitions." Britain has been brewing political checks and balances, and France is brewing the moral banner of human freedom and transcending the country, although it may not really be erected until a hundred years later, or even two hundred years, but whoever holds it first will have the title of alliance leader. ”

He said: "From your global pursuit, you can see that the world is getting smaller, countries are adjacent, and the trend of hegemony is becoming more and more obvious, and the struggle for morality is ...... It's also part of the battle for supremacy. ”

Shi Tingge seemed to understand whether he understood or not: "This heavenly and human spirit is our banner, and it is what kind of universal ...... Law? (To be continued.)
