Listening to Zhuge Weijiu's conditions, George. Canning was also a little surprised.

The Ming Dynasty has an absolute advantage over Japan! Even if the Ming Dynasty is unwilling to accept Japan as a vassal state, and does not intend to use colonialism to "help" Japan progress, it is okay to hang the whole of Japan and beat it, and then force Japan to cede land and pay compensation!

Now how to reduce the impact surface and only hit a small handful?

"Your Royal Highness," said George. Canning pondered and asked, "What are some of the bad guys you're talking about......"

"It is those who are now entrenched in Nagasaki, headed by the heir of a feudal lord of Japan," Zhuge Weijiu said, "it is he who colluded with the smuggling ships anchored at the East India Company and blatantly provoked the Kiyin Waterway Incident, with the purpose of plunging our two countries into an uncontrollable armed conflict!" Your Excellency Prime Minister, we can't let such a sinister villain succeed! ”

His words were quickly translated by Cabinet Secretary Huaker.

And George. Canning also immediately understood what Zhuge Weijiu meant, the Ming Empire was obviously ready to use all its strength and all means to attack Shimazu Qiliang and the group of people under him...... This strategy of concentrating all forces against an enemy who is far weaker than oneself is almost impossible to fail. Not only will it not fail, but it will also have a crushing effect.

After the crushing is over, those Japanese people who are unwilling to be oppressed by the Ming Dynasty will feel complete despair, so that they will truly become the loyal dogs of the Ming Empire!

The means of the Ming Dynasty...... It's better than you think!

......

Beijing, Daming Council Building.

"Excellencies, through the interrogation of the captives, we can preliminarily confirm that the Battle of Kiyin Suido, which took place on the ninth day of the second month of the seventh year of Taiping, was in fact a long-planned conspiracy, the purpose of which was not only to provoke a war between our country and the British Empire, but also to involve Japan in it, so as to provoke a great melee in which our country, Great Britain and the Japanese shogunate and the fallen forces participated......

In a conference room set up in the Great Hall, he was making a report to a group of political officials in python robes and black yarns, and Zhuge Weidao, who had returned to Beijing for more than ten days. In the past ten days, Zhuge Weidao has been staying at home with Natalie, who is about to give birth, except for a meeting of the Admiralty and a meeting of the military division on the first day!

Well, it's been a while since the twins gave birth to the second child, and now it's time for the eldest to come!

Therefore, Zhuge has to accompany others well, and at the same time wait for the little boss of his family. While accompanying his wife, he was also sorting out a large box of documents and photos brought back from Jeordon Island—all of which were evidence to be testified at the Ji Yin Incident Investigation Meeting of the Military Diplomatic Conference of the Parliamentary Council to be held today, on the first day of the fourth month of the seventh year of Taiping.

This is the first time that Zhuge Weidao has dealt with the highest legislature of the Ming Empire!

Before leaving Shadow Island, Zhuge Weidao also specifically inquired about Wang Wen about the council. As expected, this council meeting was also made by King Zhuge Wuzhong!

And one of the purposes of his old man's political meeting is to let the eight great families and a group of nobles under them have a place for "cultural fighting" - where there are people, there is a struggle, let alone a group of nobles who hold great power? But there must be no real winner in a vicious fight without rules.

After King Zhuge Wuzhong, who had seen too many vicious fights, took power, he spent a lot of energy to frame a scope of struggle for future generations, and also set a set of rules for struggle.

Throughout his life, he neither usurped the throne nor eliminated other families, and at the same time, the Zhu Ming Dynasty completely became a constitutional puppet, just to be an example of loyalty and perfection for future generations.

Another purpose of King Zhuge Wuzhong's establishment of the parliamentary council is to ensure that all kinds of progress he has brought to the new Ming Dynasty, such as the restriction of fields, compulsory education, national military service, attaching importance to industry and commerce, rewarding inventions, etc., can be maintained in the system - local councillors (with the government as a unit) must be elected by the good people of the Ming Dynasty who have received education and own property and can pay taxes according to law, and the central councillors must be elected by the local councilors, and the left and right ministers are elected by the central councilors. The Cabinet Ministers must be inscribed by the two ministers and approved by the Council. In addition, the new Ming Covenant and other laws must also be enacted, repealed or amended by the Council......

Of course, King Zhuge Wuzhong would not be naïve enough to believe that a good system could solve all problems, otherwise he would not have left so many heavenly books for his descendants. This parliamentary meeting and the "Ming Covenant Law" proposed by King Wuzhong and approved by the parliamentary council are both on the table to protect the power of the new Ming Dynasty. And the Zhuge family guards the "deep power" of the Ming Dynasty under the table.

One bright and one dark, one dive and one deep, together, for more than 100 years, the new Ming has been guarded well.

After a deeper understanding of the political, economic, educational, scientific and technological situation of the new Ming Dynasty, Zhuge Weidao also had to admit that this old ancestor was indeed a big bull, not comparable to himself...... He not only fought the country and opened the world, but also left the power to protect the world.

And the Zhuge family, as the "deep force" left by King Zhuge Wuzhong, is actually still qualified...... Under their protection, although the new Ming Dynasty is a little cowardly externally, it is not rotten internally, not only the economy has developed quite well, but the vast majority of the people have also enjoyed the fruits of economic growth. The per capita national income is 50% higher than that of Britain, the top brand of Western imperialism, and even higher than that of the "chosen country" with fewer people and more resources. It also ranks first among the most populous economies.

Of course, this "first" was not an unattainable position for China before the Qing Dynasty. For the Zhuge family, which has ancestral black technology, it is not difficult to keep this first, but the real difficulty is to make Zhuge Weidao, an "outsider", feel that the gap between the rich and the poor in the new Ming Dynasty is not serious...... At least, it doesn't look serious.

After fully understanding all this, Zhuge Weidao truly knew the mission given to him by God - he wanted to win the leadership of the world for the world's number one country!

And he, a history teacher from another timeline, must be more deeply aware of this fact than any other Zhuge that other powers in this world are not good countries, and if they are allowed to lead the world, the first position of the Ming Dynasty will be lost sooner or later!

Of course, there are so many bad guys, it is not possible to beat them together, you have to come first and then and attack from afar!

And the bad guys who are going to be hung up and beaten right now are, of course, those Japanese devils in Nagasaki!

Yesterday, news came from the French side that Zhuge Weijiu had been in the presence of Louis XVII and the Duke of Marseille, and the British Prime Minister Georges. Canning initialled the "Mingying Versailles Agreement" and issued the "Joint Statement", pointing out that there is a terrorist force in Japan that is aimed at undermining world peace, and it must be eradicated!

So today, Zhuge Weidao came to the council to testify.

"One hundred and eighth brother, who provoked the Ji Yin Waterway incident?" An elderly Zhuge who looked at the kind eyebrows and kind eyes of Zhuge Yizheng was very cooperative at this time and raised the question of "who is the bad guy"?

"Your Excellency," Zhuge replied with a smile, "all kinds of evidence show that there has long been a cabal in Japan that opposes the rule of the shogunate and the Great Tomorrow Dynasty and attempts to provoke a world war...... The current leader of this cabal is Shimazu Sairyo, the heir to the Satsuma Domain in Japan, and the former Shogunate Naval Staff Officer. It was he who took advantage of his position to collude with the sea pirates in the coastal areas of Japan, disguised himself as the East India Company's maiden ship, and provoked a conflict between us and the British Royal Navy's visiting British fleet! We must unite all forces that can be united to impose severe sanctions on the cabal headed by Shimazu Sailiang...... Only in this way can we maintain world peace! ”
