Chapter 242: The Ming Emperor's Letter to All Nations
"Outside the nickname, the resurrection of Chen Keith Khan, the great crisis of Christendom!"
"The Yellow Peril is back, and the whip of God is swinging again!"
"Retaliation from China, Cixi's Secret Dragon Guard!"
"Tears of San Francisco, brutal and arrogant Chinese re-show their minions!"
……
As the largest metropolis west of the Mississippi River, the Ming Dynasty's capture of San Francisco was far from being comparable to the previous turmoil in the Northwest.
In just half a month, New York, Montreal, London ...... Even in Paris, the news of a group of yellow people occupying white cities and burning and looting made newspaper headlines.
The Yellow Peril, a terrible word that has made Europeans tremble for more than a thousand years, has once again appeared in the world's field of vision.
It's just that what is ironic is that these Western newspapers, which are good at concocting Feike Niusi, are still outrageous this time.
Not only is the title outrageous, but the pictures are even more outrageous.
For example, a Danish newspaper depicts an ugly yellow man dressed in Manchu costume, with large braids, a sallow complexion, squinting eyes, and large buckteeth, pinching the neck of a bald eagle with one hand and plucking the hair from the back of its buttocks with the other.
Just as the Manchu government could not understand the relationship between the Rakshasa Kingdom and England, the vast majority of Europeans did not understand the difference between the "Great Ming" and the "Great Qing".
It's not that there aren't reporters who consult with people who understand the difference before writing an article, it's just that the inherent arrogance of white people makes their so-called interviews more like a joke.
A reporter from The Times interviewed a Chinese shopkeeper who came to London with a Hong Kong foreign firm and asked him to talk about what the "Ming Dynasty" was.
The ancestor of the Chinese shopkeeper was a domestic slave of the Thirteen Lines, who learned English since he was a child, and he also had a slight understanding of the national conditions on the foreigners' side.
He explained in as simple and understandable words as possible: "The Ming Dynasty was a dynasty that preceded the Qing Dynasty and ruled China 200 years ago ......"
Then the reporter understood in seconds.
"It turned out to be similar to the relationship between the Bourbon dynasty of France and the dynasty of Orleans.
Then it must be the Orleans family who supported the Bourbon descendants to colonize and restore overseas!
Oh, what a dirty aristocratic deal! ”
The Chinese shopkeeper watched the reporter talk to himself in a daze, and put pen to paper on the paper.
Although he didn't know much about Orleans and Bourbon, he could see that the journalist seemed to understand something.
The Chinese shopkeeper couldn't help but remind: "Mr. reporter, the royal family of the Qing Dynasty is Tatar, not the main ethnic group in China......"
The reporter showed an expression that no one knew more about the rule of a foreign royal family than us Britons, and no longer continued to talk in depth with this lowly Oriental.
……
All in all, when these newspapers appeared one after another on the dragon case of the Long Live Lord of the Fugui Palace, Zhu Fugui saw such a bunch of dead mother articles.
"How can it be!"
Lao Li can't stand it anymore, the East Asians in this painting are uglier than him!
The 200-pound body jumped up, 5 centimeters off the ground, Lao Li angrily reprimanded, "Long live Lord, these barbarians are different ones one by one, and they put my brilliant Ming and Tartar side by side, which is really a great crime!" ”
"The old slave is willing to follow the example of Zheng He in the past and go to the West again for the Ming Dynasty...... On the banks of the Thames River, capture Victoria's foreign wife and return to Beijing to punish the crime! ”
Looking at the indignant Lao Li, Zhu Fugui pulled the corners of his mouth.
The heart said don't compare yourself to Zheng He, let you lead the troops, I'm afraid it will be worse than Song Huizong.
No matter how unbearable Tong Guan is, but if you really know how to fight, you can make a stinky chess basket with my cheap dad and pull the fetters of the most rookie monarch in history.
I'm afraid that it is not Victoria's teaching department of the Ming Dynasty, but I, a beautiful boy with fine skin and tender flesh, will be ravaged by the lady of Europa!
Thinking of such a terrible consequence, Zhu Fugui couldn't help but sweat coldly.
Of course, Lao Li is an old loyal servant, especially now that there are foreign ministers in front of him, Zhu Fugui is not easy to reprimand him.
I can only laugh and say: "Li Companion, don't move your liver fire, anger will hurt your liver, your liver function has exceeded the standard by four times!" It's better to rest and don't be so diligent! ”
After appeasing the angry Lao Li, Zhu Fugui consulted with several other important ministers.
Since the two generals, Qi Wenchang and Mo Bai, were both leading troops outside, the discussion was mainly not about military affairs, but from the political, diplomatic, and economic levels.
After two full days of planning, a motorcycle carrying the communications troops all the way north, towards the ferry port facing the north of Xinqinhuangdao.

Although the Ming Dynasty had no diplomatic relations with the Canadian territories, let alone laid a telegraph line, there were still private economic and trade outsiders.
After all, it is difficult for the ghost of Canada to get rid of its dependence on goods from the south, so it can only allow the merchants of the Ming Dynasty to move around in a small area.
The document was soon sent to the editorial office of the New England Newspaper by a merchant selling cotton shoes.

This kind of thing is not something that can be Taoguang all the time.
Now Daming has occupied 23 of the land on the west coast of Citigroup, and the remaining half of California is also competing with the Lone Star Republic, and the war is going very well.
That is to say, if nothing else, in the next month or two, the nominal land area of the Ming Dynasty will reach more than 80 million square kilometers.
What is this concept?
In the 21st century, Daming's land area can also rank 34th in the world, second only to Pakistan and slightly larger than Namibia and Mozambique.
That big Ming, like a firefly in the night, can't hide it anymore!
If the main strategic policy of the Ming Dynasty in the past two years was dormant.
Now that the three-year period has arrived, it's time for the world to feel the pain of the crooked neck tree!
Through his old friend "New England News", Zhu Fugui published a column under the pen name "Death Knell" - the Chinese-English version of "The Ming Emperor's Edict to All Nations".
Since the new Qinhuangdao incident, relations between the Ming and the Canadian side have been tense.
The New England News didn't want to publish Zhu Fugui's article.
But Da Ming gave too much......
·
Although the Ming Dynasty had the Ministry of Rites Honglu Temple as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was a nascent regime after all, and there were no diplomatic envoys in other countries except for the Grand Duchy of Seattle and the Choshu Domain of Japan.
"Daming Times" was also only published in the territory of Daming, Changzhou Domain, and Seattle.
Therefore, Zhu Fugui had to publish a declaration on the founding of the country in the newspapers of foreigners, sending out the voice of the Ming Dynasty to the world, and to clean up the source and set the record straight.
Of course, Zhu Fugui would not learn from Cixi to engage in any kind of maneuvering operations such as declaring war on all countries.
After all, the Ming Dynasty now has limited national strength, and it is still a bit tricky to really come to tens of thousands of "Eight-Nation Alliance".
It's not that you can't beat it, but it's not necessary.
