Lucia Emperor Paul was stunned for a few seconds before he handed over the telegram in his hand in a daze.

After the princes and ministers circulated it again, the cheerful atmosphere of the scene disappeared, and the silence made people feel a little depressing.

After a long time, Emperor Paul looked at Count Bennigsen:

"Tell me about it! What kind of attitude is this Daming! Why such a direct refusal and what should we do? ”

Earl Bennigsen's lips trembled slightly, and he said:

"Now it seems that Da Ming may have become 'annoyed and angry', and he will fight us to the end regardless of everything!

"This is something that Daming can bear, but we can't afford it, so we must formally take the initiative to propose peace talks, and we can no longer take care of the final 'face'.

"Let the British negotiate peace on behalf of the Union first, and if this fails, we will sue for peace unilaterally, as His Majesty Peter the Great did in those days.

"In order to preserve the Lucian Empire, to preserve the Romanov dynasty, we must do this."

Prince Nicholas subconsciously wanted to object, but Emperor Paul directly reached out to stop it:

"If the Ming Dynasty rejects the peace talks of the British, and rejects our unilateral request for peace, then the news will be announced to the whole country.

"When the time comes, Nicholas, with the help of the power of the Great Lucian group, stir up the humiliation and anger of the Lucian people.

"Unleash all the forces of the Lucian people and fight to the death against the Ming in the empire!"

Prince Nikolai was not stupid and immediately understood his father's intentions.

It may be difficult for the Ming to directly occupy the mainland of other Tessie countries for the time being, but Lucia's mainland is right in front of them.

If Da Ming really recklessly pressed Lucia regardless of everything, and continued to fight for a few years to more than ten years, then the Romanov dynasty would be over.

It didn't take a real battle against all of Lucia on the battlefield for the loss of population and material to bring down the Romanov dynasty.

Of course, this is a way of fighting to destroy 1,000 enemies and lose 800 of themselves.

However, if the Lucia Romanov dynasty was able to control one share of the wealth and population, then the Zhu Ming dynasty had at least ten or more shares.

If the Zhu family ruthlessly came up with a copy and wanted to completely get rid of Lucia of the Romanovs, then the Romanovs would have no way to deal with it.

Therefore, when the core members of the Romanov dynasty felt that the Zhu family was going crazy, they immediately decided to formally sue for peace.

But the Lucians were also inspired to be wild within.

If the Ming chose to kill the Romanov Dynasty, they would also try to launch a battle of trapped beasts to inflict as many losses as possible on the Ming.

The best way to achieve this is to mobilize the forces of Lucia's nationalists to fight an all-out defensive and guerrilla war on the mainland.

Of course, the losses of this style of play must have been very heavy, and after the end of the war, the Romanov dynasty should also cease to exist.

After Emperor Paul gave the order, Prince Nicholas and other ministers with similar thoughts all knelt down with a heavy heart to receive the order.

The Romanov dynasty had reached the "autumn of critical survival".

At the same time, the other countries on the Tessie continent were a little calmer because the mainland was far enough away from the Ming Dynasty, and there was a huge Lucia in between.

Of course, it's just "a little".

All the kings and cabinet ministers got up at four or five o'clock in the morning to hold meetings, and most of them forgot to eat breakfast.

They've been going on this routine for so many days that they've gotten used to it a bit.

Because the news from the East often began to come in the second half of the night in Taixi, so that they began to fit the laws of Daming's life.

In the middle of the meeting, various new messages were received, including the news that the three Anxi countries first proposed mediation, and the news of the refusal of the Ming Dynasty transferred by the three countries of Anxi.

Finally, it was the news sent by Lucia officials asking Britain to officially and positively host the peace talks.

After several ups and downs in the mood of the king and his ministers, they finally decided to "accept" the Lucian proposal, abandon their last reserve, and offer an invitation to peace talks.

Like Emperor Zhu Zhongliang of the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Paul of Lucia, they were not only worried about the country's defeat in the war, but more importantly, the survival of their own dynasty.

As long as the rule can be maintained, it is nothing to take the initiative to propose peace talks, and even to seek peace as in the past is not unacceptable.

In today's Tessie Continent, all countries are kingdoms or empires, including the Netherlands.

Initially, the Dutch East India Company went bankrupt due to the targeted attacks of the Ming Dynasty in the East and the continued suppression of trade.

This, combined with the combined repression of Spain and Britain in Europe, made it difficult for the earliest bourgeois democratic regime to survive, and eventually collapsed and restored the monarchy.

This has seriously undermined the confidence of the Tessie people in the democratic republican system, and indirectly affected the development direction of Tessie's modern political ideas.

In addition, Daming's successive victories in the global battlefield, who Daming chooses to be an ally is the hegemon of the Atlantic, and various epoch-making new technologies continue to emerge in Daming's homeland.

These realities in front of all the Tessie people made the Tessie people believe that the Ming model was the right direction.

In the process of war, trade, and exchange, the Eastern style of thought and culture of the Ming Dynasty spread rapidly in Taixi, along with the epoch-making technology of the Industrial Revolution.

The Mingxue craze gradually replaced the Renaissance, which completely changed the modern culture of Taixi.

The actions of the most high-profile Emperor Zhu Cihong inevitably became the object of imitation by the monarchs of Taixi.

This strengthened the traditional monarchy's identification with capitalist reforms, and also strengthened the bourgeoisie's trust in the authoritarian monarch, giving the two a basis and method for reconciliation.

The traditional feudal monarchy of Taixi slowly transformed into a capitalist monarchy, and at the same time, it continued to strengthen the absolute monarchy and centralized power, which greatly suppressed the idea of human rights and democracy.

The authority of the English king was continuously restored, and the gradual process of democratization was interrupted by the spread of the Ming Revolution.

The ideological basis of the French Revolution was gone, and Louis XV and Louis XVI continued to advance the Minghua reforms, thus maintaining the rule of the Bourbon dynasty.

Napoleon became an army general of Louis XVI and rose to prominence in the Anti-Ming War, quickly rising to the rank of general.

Prussia learned from the Ming Dynasty, quickly strengthened the royal power and centralized system, and took Qin as an example to annex the surrounding German states by force, unifying most of Germany ahead of schedule.

Austria was forced to abandon the name of the Holy Roman Empire, but it also weakened the independence of the ethnic regions within its borders, and the empire became much more centralized.

At the same time, both Prussia and Austria saw each other as an obstacle to the "unification of the world."

But the "under heaven" of Prussia is Germany, and the "under heaven" of Austria is the Holy Roman Empire.

However, the two countries still cooperated with Lucia and jointly divided all the lands in Poland.

Under the continued influence of the Minghua Movement, there was also a second round of the Reformation movement in Tessie, and the secular influence of the church was greatly weakened.

The nobility was given the right to determine the legitimacy of their illegitimate children, and they were free to choose to grant inheritance to a certain illegitimate child.

At the same time, referring to the plan of Emperor Zhu Cihong, a comprehensive elite education was carried out for all legitimate and illegitimate children, and continuous training was carried out in all levels of government.

The weakening of the papacy allowed the Kingdom of Sardinia to seize most of the Papal States, and thus unify most of Italy ahead of schedule.

The diffusion of technology in the Ming Dynasty, especially the emergence of steam sailing ships, greatly accelerated the development of the British colony of North Yinzhou, and the population rapidly grew to tens of millions.

The conflict between the British mainland and the colonies of North Yinzhou gradually emerged, but the steam sailing ships also increased British control over North Yinzhou.

Eventually, the British king referred to the vassal state system of the Ming Dynasty, granted secondary citizenship to immigrants in the United States, and set up a minister of American affairs in the cabinet.

This compromise temporarily appeased the Yinzhou immigrants, so that they did not consider independence for the time being, let alone the republic.

The decisions of these semi-feudal and semi-capitalist royal families were finally summed up in front of the organizers of the anti-Ming alliance, the British king and cabinet ministers.

At this moment, the king of England also made the final decision, accepting the advice of the Lucian and offering peace talks.

At the same time, he was determined to fight a long-term war for several more decades, as well as the determination to die to the last Tianzhu man and completely abandon the Tianzhu colony.

As a result, at 4 p.m. European continental time, Britain officially issued an invitation to the Ming Dynasty for peace talks in the name of the anti-Ming alliance.

But at this time, the kings and ministers of the Ming Dynasty were already asleep, and there was nothing to call them up now.
