After the ceremonial praise and cheers ended, Zhu Jingyuan continued to explain his formal thoughts:

"In order to show our sincerity, after the conclusion of this peace talks, we can make a formal commitment to peace.

"We, the Ming Dynasty, will never claim and occupy an inch of what you call the continent of Europa.

"But the nations of Taixi must also make a commitment never to claim and occupy any new land outside of Mozhou and Yinzhou.

"These commitments can be spelled out in the peace treaty signed after the conclusion of this negotiation."

Before Zhu Jingyuan's words fell, a burst of exclamations broke out at the scene.

British Prime Minister Pitt instinctively immediately asked:

"Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Great Food King, is this a promise given by you personally, or is it a promise from the Ming Dynasty and the royal family?"

Zhu Jingyuan replied directly:

"We, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and the Imperial Family, and myself, we have made a joint commitment, but only if the negotiations are concluded and the peace treaty is signed normally."

The scene immediately erupted in enthusiastic and sincere cheers, as well as the sound of multiple camera exposures.

Although Daming has "sold" his teammates several times, the teammates themselves who have been sold actually have no substantive covenant.

Under the condition of relative advantage, it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to conclude an equal alliance treaty with the barbarians, and only the unequal relationship of tributary states.

After Zhu Cihong, it was even more demanded that the tributary states become actual vassal states, and there were no more tributary states that did not fulfill their obligations as before.

The matter of merchants or organizations pretending to be in the name of the state to deceive the tributaries was also completely eradicated after the Ming Dynasty understood the world pattern.

At the beginning, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Britain all refused to sign the suzerainty treaty that became a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

So they all "thought" that they were allies of the Ming Dynasty at that time, but in fact, the Ming Dynasty did not have a "written evidence" at all.

The agreements that the Ming Dynasty really signed, except for the routine suzerain-vassal treaties, were basically armistice and peace treaties.

And they are all peace treaties after achieving the ideal goal, and there is basically no need to fight the other side in the future.

The Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain have all been completely driven out of the Great Ming Ocean and the Small Western Ocean, and there is no direct contradiction between the two sides.

Da Ming didn't bother to deal with them anymore.

Therefore, the agreements that Daming really signed are actually very reliable, but there is no meaning in what is not written.

All the countries of Tessy know this very well.

If Da Ming really made a written guarantee and promised not to seize the land of Taixi in the future, the heads of state and the royal family of Taixi would cheer.

As for the commitments they need to make themselves, it's not a big deal.

The Great Ming Ocean and the Small Western Ocean region were already the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty.

The places where they can continue to explore in the future are already only Yinzhou and Mozhou.

The reason why Zhu Jingyuan wanted to make a commitment on behalf of Daming was to reduce Daming's pressure on Taixi as much as possible.

The direct cause of the outbreak of the last war was that the pressure caused by the Ming Dynasty to the Taixi people was off the charts.

Originally, it was just to capture Nantianzhu and Egypt, but it accidentally turned into a world war.

Now we have to make the Taixi countries really believe that the Ming really have no interest in their homeland, so that they can really let go of their hands and feet.

It is true that Da Ming does not have much interest in Tessie itself.

There are no resources that the Ming can afford in Taixi, and the key is that there are more than 300 million Taixi people here.

The little Boer people in Nanmo made Da Ming feel tricky, and it was impossible to occupy the hometown of 300 million Taixi people.

Historically, the British Empire showed signs of fatigue in the Boer War, and its hegemony began to weaken.

Zhu Jingyuan didn't want to go to Europe to fight an expanded Boer War.

As for Zhu Jingyuan's own ideal goal, it is to drive all the Taixi people back to their homeland.

The Tessie continent was used as a reservation for the Tessy people, and economic and cultural means were used to contain and interfere.

At that time, whether they can truly integrate or not, it will be difficult to form a real threat to the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, it can also be used as a warning, an external hostile driving force, so that the Ming Dynasty will not be completely depressed.

Since he was not going to occupy the Tessie mainland in the first place, this kind of promise was a matter of benefit.

Moreover, this kind of commitment of the Ming Dynasty will only be officially made when the contract is officially signed, and it will be officially written in the peace agreement.

Until the peace treaty was signed, it was an empty word.

But this empty phrase is like a carrot that can urge the Tessie to lower the negotiation goal slightly and implement this promise as soon as possible.

Zhu Jingyuan smiled and nodded in the midst of such cheers, and after the cheers subsided slightly, he continued to explain his thoughts and attitudes:

"Our commitment is very cautious and serious, and so far we have never actively defaulted on it.

"We promised not to deploy capital ships in the Great Qin Sea (Mediterranean), and we never built capital ships in it.

"At most, we will build a few armored cruisers, and it was not until the Taixi countries took the initiative to declare war that we gave up our promises.

"After we formally signed an armistice agreement with Lucia, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain, the Ming Dynasty has never unilaterally provoked a war again.

"Lucia, in particular, has had a formal peace treaty since the three Xianbei wars more than a hundred years ago.

"After that, we didn't attack Lucia again.

"Even later it was discovered that Lucia could pose a certain threat to the border areas of our Ming homeland through the tributaries west of the Lena River, as well as several tributaries on the Yenisei River.

"But we never wanted to occupy it.

"Peace was maintained between us and Lucia for a hundred years, until Lucia joined the Anti-Ming Alliance and took the initiative to provoke this war.

"Our two countries are at war again.

Therefore, Lucia, Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands must unilaterally tear up the armistice and peace treaty with the Ming Dynasty and take the initiative to make the necessary compensation for the war waged by the Ming Dynasty.

"Especially Lucia!

"We guide you to change and become rich, so that your royal family can pass on normally, and change your centuries-old tradition of palace coups.

"But you turned around and fought against each other with force!

"It's hard to believe in your truce sincerity right now!"

With Zhu Jingyuan's words, the scene quickly quieted down.

The delegates first looked at the four countries mentioned by Zhu Jingyuan, and finally fell on the face of Representative Lucia.

This is a naming criticism......

The chairman of the Lucia Council of Cabinet of Ministers, the equivalent of the prime minister or prime minister, Yoon Andreevich Wedemeyer, had a very ugly expression on his face.

Prince Nicholas of Lucia stood up directly, and said loudly with a somewhat hideous expression:

"Even if we were the last Lucian to die, we wouldn't be able to give up land outside of Europe!"

Nicolai's reaction surprised Zhu Jingyuan, and he didn't immediately understand why the other party's reaction was so strong, as if he had been greatly insulted.

The atmosphere at the scene also dropped sharply to freezing, and the entire hall was silent.

Zhu Jingyuan already has experience, and when things happen that he can't understand immediately, most of them are confused memories in two lifetimes.

So Zhu Jingyuan frowned and sorted out the memories of this world in this life, and slowly understood the logic in the minds of Prince Nikolai and other Taixi people.

I just said that Da Ming can guarantee not to occupy the land of Taixi, which means that it is possible to occupy anything other than Taixi.

For the other Tessie countries, there is no sense of this potential meaning, because their homeland is within the Tessie area.

Only Lucia and Ottoman are not pure Tessie countries.

Osman was not named by Zhu Jingyuan to ask for compensation, and Osman did not suffer a debt to Daming, but it was equivalent to not being guaranteed.

For Lucia, Da Ming asked Lucia to make compensation by name, and it was misleading to cooperate with the promise made by Da Ming before.

Lucia and the other Tessie representatives subconsciously believed that the Ming was demanding compensation from all of Lucia's non-Tessie territories.

What's more critical is that the boundary line of the Taixi Continent in this era is not the one that Zhu Jingyuan was familiar with in his previous life.

Not the line of the Ural Mountains, the Ural River, the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, the Caucasus Mountains.

This line was only largely determined in 1846 as the modern continental boundary.

Before 1846, the traditional Taysi border was the Black Sea, the Sea of Azov, the Don River and the line north of it......

There is no very clear border north of the source of the Don River, and Lucia's capital, Moscow, is located in this area.

So according to the traditional Tessie borders, Moscow is not a Tessy city at all.

It was not until 1846, when the continental border was moved to the Urals, that Moscow became a full-fledged city of Tessia.

The matter of the Nozhou Boundary is dominated by the Lucians.

Although most of the continental boundaries are on their land, it is easier for them to investigate and analyze, and it is easier for them to find suitable natural boundaries.

But there is always a feeling of forcibly leaving Asia and joining Europe......

This may be one of the reasons why the Tessians don't treat Lucia as their own kind.

Therefore, now Prince Nikolai instinctively thinks that the Ming Dynasty has all the lands east of Somosco.

Such a request was obviously unacceptable, and Lucia could not accept it even when she was dead.

After thinking about it, Zhu Jingyuan couldn't help laughing, and really laughed:

"Haha, Prince Nicholas don't need to be nervous, our Ming promises to the countries of Tessie do not include Lucia's and Ottoman's.

"Since Lucia and Ottoman are not Tessie countries, they are likely to be Xianbei or Mongol, so our commitment will be discussed separately.

"I have no idea of claiming the territory east of Moscow, and I have no idea about the Anatolian plateau, these are sincere ......"

Zhu Jingyuan smiled, and as soon as he explained, the atmosphere of the scene quickly recovered.

In particular, this joke between the Xianbei and the Mongols made both Daming and Taixi laugh in unison.

This joke is not an insult, but a statement to express the closeness of the relationship with the Ming Dynasty.

Only Lucia's face was embarrassed with a capital letter, but the inexplicable anger just now was indeed gone.

Several of the Ottoman delegates, who had also been quite nervous before, were now a little more relaxed.

The Ming promised not to plot against the Anatolian plateau, which was of course a good thing for them.

But in fact, the effect of sky-high prices has actually been achieved.

In the subsequent negotiation process, they will subconsciously regard this as the first round of asking price.

After the atmosphere of the scene returned to relaxation, Zhu Jingyuan raised his hands slightly and pressed down, and the scene soon became completely quiet.

Zhu Jingyuan continued to explain his vision:

"China and Europe, promising each other not to plot against each other's homeland and fortress areas, are the first pillars to ensure the peace of the times.

"Now I would like to talk about the second pillar, which is to set out in the agenda of the Conference the common principles for the peaceful conduct of international affairs.

"First of all, the basic principles, we need to clarify the concepts of territory, territorial sea and airspace, and define the concepts of inland sea, border coast and high seas.

"The purpose of these basic principles is to identify the lands, seas, and spaces that all countries can pass freely through.

"What are the areas that require the authorization of the corresponding country to pass through innocently, and which are the areas that can be considered a declaration of war if you enter them rashly?

Then, the principles of exploration, exploitation, and possession of terra nullius land were clarified, and land ownership was determined according to these principles, not war.

"Finally, although I pursue peace, I also understand that war cannot be completely avoided, so I also need to make rules about war.

"How to declare war, how to mediate, how to sign a contract, what kind of general process should there be.

"What weapons can be used and which cannot be used, how civilians and prisoners of war are treated in war.

"What kind of tactics are normal acts of war, and what kind of acts are crimes against humanity that violate principles.

"I hope that in the course of this peace talks, we can work out all these principles and rules and abide by them together in the future."

Zhu Jingyuan paused when he said this, and the scene was quiet for a few seconds, and then broke out into even more enthusiastic cheers again.

When Zhu Jingyuan first said that for the sake of peace in this era, all the delegates thought that it was just a superficial polite remark.

When Zhu Jingyuan said that they had promised each other to expand the scope, the deputies sincerely cheered and rejoiced.

When Zhu Jingyuan talked about the principles of international affairs, the deputies began to think seriously one after another.

Finally, when the principles of war were spoken, the delegates began to be genuinely convinced.

If these promises, ideas, and principles can really be realized, then the frequency of wars in the future world will definitely be reduced.

This young prince of the East really came with a vision of peace.

The key is to pursue peace, but not to avoid war altogether, but to hope that war can be controlled.

This is the true understanding of the world's back-to-basics mentality.

If both sides of the war can really fight according to certain rules, the damage suffered by the Napu people and soldiers in the war can also be reduced.

Whoever came up with these ideas is definitely admirable.

Many delegates directly and loudly pledged on the spot that they were willing to work together to develop and abide by these principles.

Strive to pursue peace, and strive to make war controllable.

After a lively discussion on the scene, Lucy spontaneously quieted down again.

Because Zhu Jingyuan said before that the country is the country, these are the first and second pillars to ensure the peace of the times.

Then there should be a third pillar.

After all, only three legs can stand.

Of course, Zhu Jingyuan was ready, so he spoke directly at this time:

"Finally, the third pillar that ensures peace in the era is the organizational platform that oversees and implements the first two pillars.

"All of us, together we have formed and joined a broad international organization to reconcile international contradictions and relations.

"To discuss and determine territorial principles, to settle disputes over colonial development, and to supervise the conduct of both sides of the war."

"and impose collective sanctions on countries that violate the principles and order them to make corrections.

"To put it bluntly, it is to let all countries have a place for complaints, consultations, quarrels, compromises, and exchange of interests.

"We can call him the International Parliament, or the League of Nations."

Zhu Jingyuan's suggestion was of course good, just as the original idea of the League of Nations was also good, and many deputies cheered again.

However, some professional diplomats and politicians have keenly discovered some problems.

Da Ming is definitely going to join this organization, what is Da Ming's status in this organization?

Did a few Tessie countries quarrel and let Daming judge it?
