In the French Governor's Office in Hailancha, Lin Shuangwen, whose real identity (of course Hailancha knew it) was nothing more than a lieutenant colonel of the Ming Army, was once again honored as a guest - he was a frequent visitor to the French Governor's Office. Among the various institutions under the Governor's Office of the Atlantic Governor of the Ming Dynasty, the Department of Trade and the Department of Education were the focus of the Qing Dynasty's work. The former was responsible for exporting weapons and equipment to the Qing Dynasty and building a military industry. The latter was responsible for helping the Qing Dynasty train international students and build new schools, including military academies. Therefore, both institutions have long been in the hands of representatives of the Army and Navy Intelligence Directorate. In fact, they are all spy agencies!

However, knowing that the other party was a spy, the reformist members of the Great Qing State could only pinch their noses and carefully interact with them.

It is different from European nation-states such as England and Italy, as well as religious countries such as the Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom. The outnumbered Qing Dynasty was quite passive and isolated in an era when nationalist ideology swept the world. They could not choose to open the country in full, in which case nationalism would soon make more than 300 million Europeans regard the two million Bannermen as enemies. As a result, the Qing Dynasty could only open a limited number of ports - most of them were forced to open!

When opening up was inevitable, the reformist officials of the Great Qing could only seek to minimize the adverse effects of opening up. The specific method is to reduce the opportunities for the people to contact the outside world as much as possible, and at the same time get as close to the Ming Empire as possible.

And Haisheng and Hailancha, who presided over the reform movement of the Qing Dynasty, have always regarded themselves as pro-Ming factions. Because in their opinion, the Ming Empire is the only country in the world that has the strength to maintain the territorial integrity of the Great Qing State, and it is also the only country that needs to do so.

Because the Ming Empire has been implementing the "Chinese World Policy" since the time of the founding ancestor Chen Dexing, that is, to make all countries in the world Chinese as much as possible. Although the Qing Empire had a bad relationship with the Ming Dynasty for more than 300 years. However, the Ming Empire did not adopt a policy of supporting the Europeans of the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, Haisheng and Hailancha both think. If the Qing Kingdom wants to survive, it must hold on to the thick legs of the Ming Empire. In the reform movement of the Qing Dynasty over the past 30 years or so, this principle has indeed been implemented.

But in the past ten years, even the leader of the pro-Ming faction, Hailancha, now feels the weakening trend of the Ming Empire...... The rise of the Huaxia Empire, the United Kingdom of Huaxia and the Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom has already overwhelmed the Ming Empire. In particular, the unification trend of the Chinese Empire and the United Kingdom of China has made the Ming Empire aware of the danger of losing its world hegemony.

Hence the external focus of the Ming Empire. It has shifted from paying equal attention to Mingzhou and Europe, and has turned to making every effort to block the reunification of Mingzhou and China.

In Europe, the policy of the Ming Empire has quietly changed to supporting the European nation-state against the Divine Heavenly Dao State.

Because once the Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom completes the integration of the Great Qing Banner Human Area, it will become a land power with a population of 80 million and a fairly strong financial power. In the next step, the Holy Roman Empire is likely to be "cleared and replaced"! Put most of Europa's land and population under the rule of the Vulture Remburg!

This is tantamount to a nightmare for the Ming Empire!

And the Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom has also sensed the turn of the Ming Dynasty's foreign policy. Therefore, he also adjusted his policy towards the Qing Dynasty and no longer insisted on annexing the entire Qiren area. Rather, they were willing to return the province of Romania to the Qing Dynasty, the richest of the three provinces in the Banner People's District. The population is close to 13 million, almost all of whom are banner people.

Once the province returns to the Qing Dynasty, it will increase the number of Qing Bannermen from the current 2 million to 15 million in one fell swoop. With such a population base, the number of the new army of bannermen can be increased to hundreds of thousands. This was undoubtedly useful in stabilizing the rule of the Qing Empire.

Moreover, with this population base of 15 million people. It was possible for the Qing Empire to abandon the densely populated plains of France, the Netherlands, Germany, and Poland if the empire could not be sustained. Retreat to Austria, Bohemia, Hungary and Romania. Create a new country with a total population of more than 60 million, with a quarter of the population of flag people.

Although it is still outnumbered. But 15 million suppressed 45 million, which is much more stable than relying on 2 million people to suppress more than 300 million people today. If there is a powerful Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom as the backing. The days ahead will not be too sad.

Therefore, the people of insight among the banner people all supported the regent Empress Catherine and wanted to restore the alliance with the Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom. Abandon the declining old imperialism of the Ming Empire.

However, as a reformist boss and a wise faction, Hailancha knew very well that the decline of the hegemony of the Ming Empire was a very slow process. It can be said that when the Qing Dynasty took the Yuan Dynasty, the hegemony of the Ming Dynasty began to decline. But to this day, Daming is still dominating the world.

Today's Ming Dynasty certainly has no way to destroy a powerful country like the Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom, the Huaxia Empire, and the Huaxia United Kingdom, which has millions of new army forces. But to repair the Great Qing Kingdom, the sick man of Europe. It's a piece of cake. Da Ming doesn't even need to take action himself, just let England, the vicious dog that the Ming Empire has raised for hundreds of years, pounce on it.

And the response that the Great Qing State can take, in the eyes of reformists like Hailancha, is only to endure humiliation......

"Lord Lin, I think you know that too. The English were really vexatious this time, and the island of Zealand was somewhat controversial, but at that time there was a dispute between the Edaqing and the Norsemen, and the island had been controlled by Edaqing for more than 300 years. According to the public law of all nations, this island of Zealand is the Great Qing Dynasty. There is not a penny to do with the English, inside and out. Why did they stick to it? Lord Lin...... Take 10,000 steps back, if your Ming Empire really thinks that this Sealand Island should be Nordic, it is not impossible to negotiate with you. ”

Of course, it was Hailancha who was talking, although the shouting and beating voices in the Qing Dynasty prevailed, but he still felt that this battle could not be fought - if it was the Ming Dynasty or the Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom that jumped out now, Sealand Island was not unceding, but it was difficult to swallow this breath by succumbing to England, which was regarded as a small country by the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, what this Haizhongtang wants to hear most now is the news of the intervention of the Ming Empire, even if the Ming Dynasty is on the side of England and Northern Europe, it is also a good thing for the Qing Dynasty.

But Lin Shuangwen shook his head slightly, didn't speak, and just swept his eyes in the living room. Highlanza already understood. He said in a calm voice: "Stand down, there is no need for anyone to serve here." ”

The envoys in the living room and the sesame mung bean officials of the superintendent all got up and withdrew, and only Hailancha and Lin Shuangwen were left in the hall of Nuoda.

Lin Shuangwen's expressionless face suddenly wrinkled, and then he let out a long sigh: "Lord Hai, it's not that the brothers don't help, but the Jiangdu side (now the Ming cabinet and parliament chief are stationed in Jiangdu. I don't go to Beijing anymore) thinks that the Great Qing Kingdom is no longer good, it is difficult to maintain it for a long time, and it is simply impossible to stop the expansion ambitions of the Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom. ”

Daming is here in Europa, of course, he has a red face and a white face. The Ming Navy plays the role of a hardliner, sending warships to threaten at every turn, and anyone who dares to provoke the sea power of the Atlantic Fleet will be beaten. The Ming Army played the role of Mr. Yes, and the representatives of the Army Intelligence Bureau seemed to be disgusted with war, and they were all a group of pacifists. Wherever conflicts erupt. They can always be seen going back and forth between the opposing sides as peacemakers.

This time, the Qingying conflict seems to follow this path. The navy was responsible for fanning the flames, selling fast cruisers with excellent performance to England and actively seeking the support of the opposition within the Qing Dynasty. Lin Shuangwen, the representative of the Army Intelligence Bureau, went to Rouen to meet with Hailancha in person, and also revealed the views of the highest level of the Ming Empire on the Qing Dynasty.

"How can the Qing Dynasty not be sustained?" Hailan listened to the other party's words, and suddenly became a little anxious, "Isn't the current Great Qing Kingdom maintained very well?" The new army of the Great Qing State was a banner man, and the Beiyang Naval Division was also a flag man, and the government-run factories, shipping dealers, and banks. They are all bannermen. The officials who can do things in the court are also banner people. What do they Europeans know besides the 'Four Books and Six Classics'? The rivers and mountains of the Qing Dynasty. It's rock solid! ”

It turns out that this Great Qing Kingdom of Europa is still very different from the Great Qing Kingdom of China in another time and space.

Although the bannermen of the Qing Dynasty of Europa are the same as the bannermen of the Qing Dynasty in China in history, they are all outnumbered. Moreover, the Europa banner people, especially these banner men in the European area, are also very rotten. But in the world as a whole, it's not white people who rule. Even if the hegemony of the Ming Dynasty declined, it was because it was challenged by overseas Chinese powers such as Mingzhou and Huaxia. If whites want to rise, I am afraid there is a long way to go.

Therefore, the banner people of the Great Qing State were in foreign exchanges. It has a great advantage over Europeans. And those officials who were sent to Europa by the Ming court also had a sense of superiority based on race, looking down on Europeans and preferring banner people. Therefore, the "foreign affairs" of the Great Qing Kingdom of Europa are all controlled by the banner people, and there is nothing to do with the Europeans.

Moreover, there is no "Hunan Army" and "Huai Army" in the Qing Dynasty of Europa. Because after the end of the Balkan War, the Ming Empire began to actively play the role of a friend of the Qing Dynasty, and helped the Qing Dynasty to establish a new banner army in the shortest possible time. Although the combat effectiveness of this new army is not good, it has played the role of the treasure of the town house very well. The Europeans rebelled and rebelled, and they were completely vulnerable in front of them.

In addition, the imperial examination system inherited from the Great Yuan Kingdom has been creating waste from generation to generation. But there is no sign of it being abolished...... Like Napoleon, there are only a handful of European elites who gave up the imperial examination and chose to study in Macao and Hong Kong. And the vast majority of European elites still continue to dream of "being a Tian Shelang in the morning and ascending to Tianzitang at dusk".

Suffice it to say, there was no force in the Qing Dynasty that could overthrow the rule of the bannermen.

"The rule of the Qing Dynasty is quite stable at present!"

Lin Shuangwen's brows tightened, and he sighed again: "But the top level of the Ming Army Staff believes that today's war model is very beneficial to the nation-state and the citizen-state!"

Because today's war requires a lot of human life...... This has been proven by several medium-sized conflicts between Mingzhou and China. Army, armed with rifles, artillery, and machine guns, relies more than ever on numerical superiority. The 120,000-strong Great Fresh Army, no, it should be less than 2 million Great Qing Banner people, simply cannot withstand the large-scale battle attrition that occurs between the new-style armies! ”

In the terminology of the Ming Army, a large-scale campaign means that both sides of the battle have to invest more than 100,000 troops. For the Qing Dynasty, it was a new type of army that was put into its entirety at once! Needless to say, what the defeat would be, even a draw would have cost the Qing army tens of thousands of people. This will be an irreparable drain for an ethnic group of 2 million people!

The potential enemies faced by the Qing Empire, England, Italy, Spain, and the Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom, were all nation-states or religious states with more than 30 million people. Their ability to mobilize troops was tenfold, twenty, and even thirty times that of the Qing Dynasty.

Based on this judgment, the Ming Army has realized that the Qing Dynasty is simply incapable of becoming a great power that maintains the balance of power in Europa. I want the more than 300 million Europeans under the rule of the Qing Dynasty to play the role of containing the Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom. The Qing Dynasty must be disintegrated and then transformed into a nation-state.

Lin Shuangwen frowned, and lowered his voice: "Lord Hai, what the General Staff of my country's army means: The army of the Great Qing Kingdom has not to fight, and it cannot fight...... The 120,000 new-style army is the life of two million children of the Eight Banners, and if the Qing Dynasty is defeated, it will be finished immediately, and there is no way to prepare for the back road! ”

"Back?" Hailancha's eyebrows raised, and he knew in his heart that the other party was going to dry goods!

"That's right! It's the back road...... Lin Shuangwen said in a low voice, "As long as the Great Qing Kingdom still has more than 100,000 new armies in its hands, even if it retreats to Romanian Province, there will always be a piece of territory, right?" If there are no soldiers, they will really be slaughtered! ”

Romanian...... Hailancha took a breath, does this mean that the Great Ming Kingdom has recognized the alliance between the Great Qing Kingdom and the Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom?

Lin Shuangwen then said: "Doesn't this back road also need time arrangement? It is difficult to maintain the Great Qing Kingdom for a long time, but it is entirely possible to seek a good way out. ”

Hailancha shook his head: "If the New Army of the Eight Banners does not move, will the English drive straight into Paris?" ”

"No," Lin Shuangwen was very sure, "France and the Netherlands are not war zones, and the Atlantic Fleet will be stationed in Hong Kong at that time!" ”

Highlanza breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Then Germany and Poland don't want it?" ”

Lin Shuangwen smiled: "Isn't there still a Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom?" (To be continued.) )
