On the morning of February 24, the 34th year of Taiping.

The Guanhai Palace in the outer city of the Western Cape Huangzhuang, the Huihai Hall dedicated to large-scale banquets, and the grand banquet is being prepared busily.

All those on the official list of delegates to the peace talks received invitations to attend the banquet.

The delegation of the court of the Ming Dynasty, the delegation of the feudal kingdom and the imperial village, and the main person in charge of the craftsman team.

Members of the royal family of the Tessie, plenipotentiary ambassadors and deputy envoys of the mission, and all members of the mission who may participate in the negotiations.

There are also important generals of Napoleon, Blucher, Kutuzov, Nelson, Wellesley and other countries.

Due to the large number of participants and the complexity of the composition, the banquet was not held in the palace in the inner city, but in the palace in the outer city.

Although the palace in the inner city of the Western Cape is still a palace in nature, the construction and layout are basically based on the imperial palace of the Kyoshi.

In fact, it is the most serious and formal handling of government affairs and ceremonial palaces.

As for the palaces in the outer city, they are similar to the palaces and manors around the capital, which were originally prepared for various entertainment activities.

In this Huihai Palace, the royal family also built the largest hall dedicated to banquets.

Avoid placing the table directly in the square as before.

Early this morning, the guards and brocade guards of the Huangzhuang set up a cordon around the palace to carefully check the identities and invitations of all the participants.

Many of the guests from both sides entered the venue more than two hours in advance.

Because a banquet is not just a banquet, but an open, informal contact, an opportunity for everyone to be able to contact each other.

The delegates who came in advance must have their own ideas and want to communicate with others.

Therefore, before the banquet officially began, the inside and outside of the hall were already lively.

Representatives of various countries gathered in twos and threes, admiring the scenery inside and outside the palace, and discussing topics of concern to each other.

Napoleon Bonaparte of France also arrived an hour early, but he seemed a little out of place.

Instead of chatting with the others, he walked around the palace and around the palace alone, eventually stopping in front of a wall.

On that wall hung a map of the Kun Domain, that is, a map of the world made in the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty is in the center of the map, Taixi and Yinzhou are on both sides of the map, and the Atlantic Ocean is divided into two halves.

Napoleon's frequent maps were to place the Tessie style in the middle of the map, and the Ming and Yin Zhou on the sides.

Moreover, on the map of the Ming Dynasty, the British and French colonies of Yinzhou only bordered to the east bank of the Mihe River.

Between the west bank of the Honey River and the Rocky Mountains, it was regarded as a borderless land, and there were some colonial strongholds of the Ming Dynasty scattered in between.

The Southern Inchau is similar, with both sides of the Yajiang River marked as terra nullius, and Brazil's territory limited to the eastern seaboard.

The phrase Borderlands made Napoleon visibly stunned.

"Borderlands?"

Napoleon muttered the phrase in a low voice, imagining what the concept actually meant.

It wasn't really borderlands, but a region where none of the forces had absolute control.

Napoleon pondered these things and stayed for an unknown amount of time.

Until a rather cordial Oriental voice sounded beside him:

"Is it General Napoleon?"

This title made Napoleon visibly stunned, no one had ever called himself that before.

His surname is Bonaparte, and most people should call themselves General Bonaparte.

Napoleon subconsciously turned around and saw a Ming boy wearing the usual clothes of the Prince of Daming.

The information of the representatives of the Ming side flashed in his mind, and there were two Ming princes participating in this peace talks.

The plenipotentiary of them, Prince Daishi, happened to be a fifteen-year-old boy.

Napoleon subconsciously replied and asked rhetorically:

"I'm Napoleon Bonaparte, and you're His Royal Highness Prince Dai-shi?"

Zhu Jingyuan faced Napoleon, the famous commander who was among the best in the history of Taixi, and his mood was quite emotional.

In his original history, he was now the emperor of the French, and Louis XVI's head had long since disappeared.

Now he doesn't know what happened in his previous life, and he doesn't know if he can achieve the same thing in the future.

Zhu Jingyuan thought about Napoleon in his heart, smiled and said to the general:

"This is the king, who came out to see the situation before the banquet officially began, and found that General Napoleon was here looking at the map.

"I've heard about the general's deeds, so I'll come over to say hello, did the general think about the things on the battlefield?"

Napoleon listened to Zhu Jingyuan's question, and faced the eyes and smiles of the prince and vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

This young prince gave himself a very strange feeling.

He looked at his eyes, not at all like other Ming officials, who did not have the typical disgusted attitude of looking at barbarians.

Even though officials and diplomats may appear to be polite, discrimination and contempt are always unconsciously revealed.

The feeling is often so palpable that the Tessie people are used to it.

And the young prince in front of him didn't feel that way at all.

He is obviously looking at himself with a relatively equal attitude, and even with a bit of admiration and expectation......

It is already very strange that the Ming people can look at the Taixi people in this posture, and the key identity of the other party is still a Ming prince.

His status in the world can be equated with that of the King of France.

It is impossible for the king of France to be so amiable when facing himself.

What's more, he and this Prince of Daming were enemies not long ago, and now they have just started peace talks.

This strange sense of intimacy made Napoleon unable to resist, and even inexplicably nervous.

Napoleon bowed slightly formally and continued to ask:

"I...... I do think about some things that have happened, but why does His Highness call me General Napoleon?

"You may not know it, but we Europeans have their surnames at the back, and my surname is actually Bonaparte."

Zhu Jingyuan suddenly reacted, the rule on Taixi's side is that only the title of the monarch, or between family members with the same surname, will be called by name.

Before Napoleon became emperor, he should have never heard of Napoleon's general, which is why he was so surprised.

I was used to it in my previous life, and I was used to hearing the name of Napoleon I, so I instinctively called him Napoleon.

Zhu Jingyuan pretended not to react, and deliberately continued to ask rhetorically:

"No, I remember that the king of France was called Louis XVI, Louis is not a surname, right?"

Napoleon reluctantly went on to explain:

"His Majesty's title is indeed a name, but ordinary people only do it among family members, but at the same time, there will be no generals."

Zhu Jingyuan nodded lightly and said:

"I see, if I keep calling you Napoleon, will it make Louis XVI suspect that you have rebellious tendencies?"

Napoleon suddenly cried and laughed, what was going on in the thinking of this highness:

"Probably not, the monarch's title will be followed by a generation, Your Highness will call me like this, it will only make His Majesty the King suspect that our relationship is very special......

Napoleon knew a lot about Daming, and knew that it was not a crime to engage in male pets in Daming, and it was very common.

Many aristocrats like to raise a handsome scholar, and it is more convenient to go out than to take a servant girl when they are away.

It was a custom handed down from the Han Dynasty, a Roman contemporary, and I heard that the Romans liked to do it in the first place.

This made Napoleon feel inexplicably embarrassed again, and His Royal Highness the Prince would not have that kind of preference.

At this time, Zhu Jingyuan took two steps closer, lowered his voice and said:

"Have you ever heard of a saying in the history of our Shenzhou, which says, "Princes and generals have a kind of peace?" 」

Napoleon sensed Zhu Jingyuan approaching, and just subconsciously wanted to retreat.

As a result, just after lifting his leg, he was taken aback by this sentence and took two steps back in a row.

Then he subconsciously widened his eyes, and instinctively looked at Zhu Jingyuan with a fierce light, but he immediately covered it up well.

Zhu Jingyuan looked at Napoleon's reaction, and already had a rough judgment in his heart.

This Napoleonic general, sure enough, is still unwilling to be a general.

He must have read this sentence a long time ago, and probably thought about it more than once, otherwise there would not have been such a big reaction.

This is the reaction of being told to be out of the mind.

"The general is really unwilling to live under people for a long time."

Zhu Jingyuan commented with a smile, and then threw out another classic quotation:

"Have you ever heard another sentence in the history of our Shenzhou: "The Son of Heaven is the one who is strong in soldiers and horses."

Zhu Jingyuan made no secret of his purpose, almost in the vernacular, to encourage Napoleon's ambitions.

Zhu Jingyuan understands that in the face of people like Napoleon, there is no need to hide it, and it should be useless to cover it up.

He will certainly be able to weigh the pros and cons and make decisions in his favor.

Whether to seek the help of the Ming Dynasty, whether to use the power of the Ming Dynasty, and how to use it.

The best way to deal with this kind of person is Yongyang Mou, and he may not be able to play them by playing conspiracy.

Napoleon's expression became extremely serious, and he took a closer look at the surroundings and saw that there were no other guests around.

Not far away, there were several Ming Navy guards, which were obviously brought by Zhu Jingyuan, and protecting his safety was also to control the situation.

Napoleon returned to the bottom of the map again, and asked directly, no longer concealing it:

"Your Highness the Great Food King, where do you think there is a place in this world where you can be strong and strong, and you are not firmly grasped by the kings?"

Zhu Jingyuan said directly:

"Can't General Napoleon see it? If I really can't see it, then I'm disappointed."

Napoleon said a few words with a straight face:

"Anglo-French colony of Yinzhou."

Zhu Jingyuan turned to look at the map on the wall:

"The British and French colonies of Yinzhou have millions of square kilometers of fertile land.

"There are nearly fifty million immigrants and descendants from Tessie who are treated as second-class citizens by their suzerain.

"The Great Lakes region and the Appalachian Mountains were also rich in coal and iron, enough to support a new Roman Empire."

Napoleon asked with a serious expression:

"Your Highness probably won't support me alone, just as he supports all European countries competing for the title of Rome......

Zhu Jingyuan nodded very decisively and said:

"This King will support all those who have aspirations, including Kings Louis XVI and George III.

"If these two kings can agree to cede all the land west of the Honey River to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming can promise a permanent peace with Britain and France.

"And will permanently sever ties with General Napoleon, as if today's events had never happened.

"Correspondingly, as long as Daming's strategic goals are still not achieved, Daming will continue to support the general."

After Zhu Jingyuan finished speaking, he left the scene directly.

Whether this verbal exchange between the two sides will be leaked, Zhu Jingyuan will not particularly care.

Leaking the news would not have done Napoleon any good, and it would have done no harm to himself, it would have put pressure on Britain and France.

The importance of the current Yinzhou colony to Britain and France is far greater than that of the same period in history, and may even exceed that of Tianzhu.

The Yinzhou colony was richer in resources, the population of Taixi was larger, and the overall level of industrialization was also higher.

The gap between the level of development and the British and French mainland is not too far, and the key Yinzhou is that it is very convenient to communicate with the British and French mainland.

The North Atlantic Ocean is a vacuum area for the Ming forces, and the routes of Yin Zhou and Taixi will not be interfered with by the Ming Dynasty.

On the other hand, the southern part of Tianzhu, which was circled by Daming, is likely to have been put in a position that can be abandoned at any time.

The two colonies of Britain and France in North Yinzhou are almost equivalent to the United States in the late 19th century.

Britain and France each accounted for half of them, almost a quarter of the United States in the late nineteenth century.

Compared with Britain and France in history, Britain and France in this world have lost the regional colonies around the Great Ming Ocean and the Small Western Ocean, but their comprehensive national strength may be stronger than in history, and the key is the Yinzhou colony.

If Britain and France lose their colonies in Yinzhou, their combined national strength may fall by a quarter, not counting war losses.

If they knew that the Ming Dynasty wanted to support a genius general to rebel in the Yinzhou colony, the royal families and courts of their two countries would definitely not be able to sleep.

If Napoleon had succeeded in completely unifying the British and French colonies of Yinzhou, the strength would have been equal to that of a weakened France.

For Da Ming, this is equivalent to turning two enemies with a combat strength of six into three enemies with a combat strength of four, which is definitely a good thing.

With Napoleon's ability, once an incident is raised in Yinzhou, it should quickly make a big fuss, and then it will definitely be a joint British and French army to suppress it.

So this is Anglo-French cooperation? Go to Yinzhou to fight a Napoleonic War?

The French colonies were in the north and the British colonies were in the south, so it could also be the Civil War.

In this way, Prussia, the native of Tessie, will also have the opportunity to come out and make trouble?

Da Ming should secretly support Napoleon, openly support Britain and France, and let the two sides fight as fiercely as possible in Yinzhou.

Let the war last as long as possible, and it is best to completely abolish the British and French colonies of Yinzhou, which is the best result for the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, all this is just Zhu Jingyuan's wild conjecture, and these things may not really happen.

Whether Napoleon would go to Yinzhou to rebel is still unknown.
