Chapter 743: The Northern Barrier

Originally, Zhu Fugui meant that in a place like Dewaslan, where there was a big nose, there was no need for the Ming Dynasty to intervene in person, and it was okay to throw it to the Southern Tang Dynasty as a fence.

In any case, in the Chinese tributary system, there is no such thing as "my vassal's vassal is not my vassal".

What is particular about the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister.

A vassal of my vassals, of course, still my vassals.

Therefore, Nantang, as one of the five flowers, has no problem accepting one or two puppies.

After all, not all of them are stinky fish and rotten shrimp like Australia, and they also have a belt as a member of the five constants, and they also have their own little brother.

Even a country like Australia, in Oceania, is arrogant to those South Pacific island countries except New Zealand, and it is not worthy of others, and it has a solitary face.

Therefore, as the closest subject countries of the Ming Dynasty, Chu, Tang and other countries will sooner or later become middle and low-level powers.

Of course, it is impossible for the upper limit to exceed the nucleus-free band.

Don't look at South Africa, this place has a suitable latitude, rich resources, and a king's posture.

But that's what it compares to.

If you compare it with other countries, it is indeed a place with unlimited potential.

Compared with the Fourth Ming Empire of the Pacific Rim, it is just a grain of rice fluorescence.

So Zhu Fugui is not afraid that he will accept the dog.

But the problem is that in Brother Li's current situation, he doesn't have enough dog food to eat, so how can he have the ability to raise a dog.

Not to mention that Brother Li can't raise it, Brother Zuo tried to raise dogs in Afghanistan before, but those puppet soldiers were pressed to the ground and beaten by the local imam's guards, and they couldn't hold up the wall in the mud.

After all, a good dog like Wu Chaoyue is not so easy to find, and Daming's father has already taken the lead.

So this time, Dewasland paid tribute directly to the Great Tomorrow, and Nantang was just a middleman to make some benefits.

For the Boers, paying tribute to a pagan empire was undoubtedly unacceptable.

After all, Da Ming's bayonet was not on their necks yet.

Just as the Machemitar of the Mongol Khan was not on the neck of the Rus', they were all a valiant fighting people.

The decision of Lessor Tetratorius to relinquish his departmental sovereignty and join the tributary circle of the Ming Dynasty was met with many opposing voices.

There was even a Boer councillor who was already agitating for joining the British colonial administration, and even compared "kowtowing to the emperors of Asia" to "giving black citizenship" as an insult.

As a result, when the MP was out lobbying a friend the next day, a frightened Shire horse broke free from the reins and knocked him over.

Known as the "gentle beast", the heavy horses weighed a ton and had hooves the size of a dustpan.

stepped on Mr. Councilor's belly and burst directly, the picture is miserable.

Despite all indications that the death of the congressman was full of conspiracy, President Biletolius Jr. completed the entire process of obituary, memorial service, funeral, cremation, and burial within four hours, citing the fact that the rainy season was about to enter and the body was prone to decomposition.

The reason why Tetratorius the Younger was eager to join the tributary circle of the Ming Dynasty, and even risked his disapproval, was that in the context of the slave-owning parliamentary autonomy system, he openly carried out assassinations, and naturally he had no choice but to suffer.

Because the British declared war arrived.

Objectively speaking, I still pay attention to gentlemanly etiquette.

Never engage in such a tasteless thing as undeclared war.

So this time to declare war on the Boers, they were ready to submit a declaration of war to the Boers 32 minutes in advance, one minute earlier than the Ming in the First Ming-French War.

Moreover, in order to show the legitimacy of his eldest son, the Indian governor, the elder Churchill sent troops to attack Devasland, the declaration of war was sent from London to Calcutta, and then sent from Calcutta to Pretoria.

It takes about a month to go back and forth, and all the processes are pre-arranged.

The Calcutta envoy had no idea that his new boss was missing, and he left the Durban fortress before the fleet arrived.

Therefore, even though the appearance of the Southern Tang Dynasty objectively made the British no longer able to attack the Boers, and even if the Boers could still provide assistance, the letter full of arrogant language and blatant exploitation of interests still arrived at the desk of little Biletolius as scheduled.

Little Biletolius was of course struck by the undisguised ambition, greed, and shamelessness of the British.

The shock was followed by a deep panic.

Historically, the Boers were able to inflict heavy losses on the British in the Boer War, which was caused by a variety of objective factors, including a steady stream of aid from the "international community".

Including materiel and volunteers.

For Dewasland today, it was almost impossible to defeat the British Expeditionary Force, and they had to find allies, or protectorates.

Daming is naturally the only choice.

And becoming a tributary state of the Ming Dynasty means that the Ming Dynasty will not annex Dewasland.

This is undoubtedly a very crucial guarantee for a small country sandwiched between the two world's top powers.

Of course, little Biletolius tried his best to find out about the past of the Ming Empire.

His Majesty Zhu Fugui's good credit record also gave him a lot of confidence, and he even did not hesitate to kill the noisy guy with a giant horse.

If you don't change your thinking, you can change your head, even if you are a Buer hillbilly who has never seen the world, you can become self-taught after being in politics for a long time.

For Zhu Fugui, recognizing the tributary status of Dewaziland was tantamount to abandoning the mountainous areas of northwestern South Africa.

Although it is a mountainous area, it is not suitable for food production and has no port, but it is home to the world's eighth-largest diamond mine and seventh-largest gold mine.

To say that Zhu Fugui is not greedy, it is impossible.

However, just like Zhu Fugui, the world's largest silver mine in Mexico, did not swallow it directly, it is not necessary to swallow land to control these key resources.

Agents, multinational corporations, compradors, Daming has a hundred ways to get what he wants, and he will not leave anything to chance.

Of course, the soup must still be left for the Boers.

After all, the preservation of the Republic of Dewaziland was of great strategic importance to the Southern Tang.

He will become the northern barrier of the Chinese country of the Southern Tang Dynasty, or the shield of Yan and Huang.

As for who this shield is hindering, it is naturally a certain race that is good at zero-dollar purchases.

Zhu Fugui dared to guarantee that as long as these Boer farmers were still there, what bullshit "Black Lives Matter" movement would never be able to take place in the Southern Tang Dynasty, a land that belonged to the Chinese people.

In addition, another incident that prompted Zhu Fugui to collect the dog was the blood alliance between the British and the Zulus.

Zhu Fugui really couldn't figure out why the Zulu people, who cooperated with the British first and then confronted the British, stood so firmly on the opposite side of the Ming Dynasty this time?

It wasn't until he saw the portrait of Princess Zulu and the concubine that Brother Li bought with a lot of money, that Zhu Fugui understood that the British Marquis had really paid too much for the empire.

These Zulu paintings are indeed wild and abstract, but the essence is still revealed.

What do you say about the feeling that this Zulu princess gave Zhu Fugui......

In the early years, when Zhu Fugui was surfing the Internet, he could always see some pictures similar to "Marrying her, you can fight for a hundred years less.jpg".

And this Zulu princess is very similar to the standard appearance of the daughter of an African chief in those pictures.

Zhu Fugui had to sigh, art is really from life!

In short, this time the blood alliance between the Zulus and the British also made Zhu Fugui completely determined to completely drive the Zulus and other Bantu people out of the south of the Vaal River, even if it was in a more radical way.

He sent a telegram to Brother Li, and said: "Aiqing must take the restoration of the land of the Three Treasures Gonggong and Miao as the first priority, and concentrate on unanimously exterminating the evil bandits who occupy the magpie's nest." โ€

Even Zuo Jigao, who had already returned to the Western Regions, sent a special telegram to his old friend: "The virtuous brother must boldly let go, kill decisively, don't worry about the name of the person in front of and behind him, the saint will not lose the rain and the grace of the open, and I hope that the virtuous brother will not miss the opportunity again!" โ€

Since then, the military bloc of South Don-Dewasland vs. Anglo-Zulu has been officially established.
