Chapter 115: I'm invincible tomorrow

Zhu Jingyuan demanded that the Ottomans break away from the anti-Ming alliance.

The representative of the Ottomans, the Grand Vizierza Adin, had already thought about it all, so now he directly bowed his head:

"When the Ottomans signed a treaty with the Ming Dynasty, it was the time when the Ottomans officially broke away from the anti-Ming alliance."

Several other representatives of the Tessie countries subconsciously wanted to come out and stop it.

The Ottomans' secession from the anti-Ming alliance seems to be Ottoman's own business, but it symbolizes the beginning of the disintegration of the anti-Ming alliance.

For the representatives who want to maintain the alliance, of course, it is necessary to find a way to stop it, if it is possible......

The first to speak was French Foreign Minister Talleyrand:

"Wait a minute, Grand Vizier, do you understand the consequences of signing with Da Ming alone?"

Zaadin responded without hesitation:

Osman understood that signing alone meant that the Ming could tear up the peace treaty with Osman alone.

But after joining the anti-Ming alliance for so many years, in the end it was not able to help the Ottomans keep the land in the south.

Referring to the peace treaty between the Ming and Lucia, the Osmans finally decided to believe in the promises of the Ming.

"The Ottomans need to end the war as soon as possible, settle down as soon as possible, and resume production."

Talleyrand instantly understood Osman's attitude.

Since you Tessie don't want to help Osman fight the Ming Dynasty, then don't stop Osman from jumping ship alone.

You Tessie don't want to fight, and we Ottomans don't want to fight either.

Talleyrand and Pete continued to persuade them, but they couldn't find any good reason in their mouths.

The key is that Osman has made up his mind, and the persuasion of the two without confidence is useless, and in the end, he got a few words of ridicule.

"We, Osman, have accepted your suggestion and accepted all the requirements of Daming, now it's up to you to sign the contract yourself."

The representatives of Britain and France were speechless.

I went to persuade Osman to accept Daming's request before, and now I ask Osman not to jump out of the car alone, which is not convincing at all.

Among all the members of the Anti-Ming League, the Ottomans were the most special one.

The Ottomans were completely uninvolved in the fighting in other regions, and did their best to resist the Ming attack on their homeland.

The Ottomans were already fighting against the Ming before the formation of the anti-Ming alliance.

When the Anti-Ming League was formed, Ottomans were not members of the League.

After the anti-Ming alliance declared war on the Ming Dynasty, the Ottomans were drawn into the alliance.

Although the Ottomans controlled a large number of European territories, their cultural beliefs were not Tessy countries at all, but Dashi or Anxi countries.

Neither the Ottomans nor the Ctessi had much of a good relationship, and they were even more feuding with Lucia and Austria.

At the same time, Osman knew that the negotiations between the Ming and Britain, France, Luzhou, Spain, and Portugal would definitely be difficult.

Now that the Ottomans have paid the price, they have been promised a separate peace for as long as possible, and it is only natural that they should sign a separate contract with the Ming in advance.

Instead of continuing to entangle with the countries of Tessie.

The Tessie countries also understood these logics, so they quickly gave up persuasion.

The Ottomans basically unilaterally conceded defeat, and the strategic goal of the Ming Dynasty in the Great Qinhai was basically achieved.

From the Lianghe River Basin to the west bank of the Great Qin Sea, the fertile crescent, the cradle of ancient human civilization, is now completely in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

Another cradle of human civilization, the Egyptian region of the lower Nile River also became a vassal of the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, the four cradles of classical human civilization, Huaxia, Tianzhu, Babylon, and Egypt, were all controlled by the Ming Dynasty.

It was also the first time that the Ming Dynasty achieved its strategic goals by using diplomacy as the main force, rather than in the form of war.

It can be regarded as an unprecedented diplomatic victory.

This made Zhu Jingyuan's mood also very good.

After taking the Crescent Zone, the entire Great Food Peninsula in the south was in the bag of the Ming Dynasty.

The local separatist forces, as well as the remaining Ottoman vassals, would soon be swept away.

The southern region of Egypt, as well as the entire Red Sea, will soon be the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the Red Sea will also become the inland sea of the Ming Dynasty.

In the future, the entire east coast of Mozhou will also become the land of Daming.

In the future, in the entire coast of the small Western Ocean, only the southern part of Tianzhu will be the power of other countries.

How to deal with the problem in the south of Tianzhu will be a major difficulty for the British.

It's not the difficulty of Daming, because it is completely surrounded by Daming.

By the time of the next war, it would be absolutely impossible for Tianzhu to hold it.

As long as the simple destruction of the communication line can make it impossible for the British to contact Nantianzhu.

Nan Tianzhu is the "hostage" of the British in the Ming Dynasty.

After the Ming Dynasty occupied the northern part of Tianzhu and Nanmozhou, it did not exchange colonies with the British who occupied the southern part of Tianzhu, but continued to expand around the small Western Ocean, for this situation.

So that's the difficulty for the British, not for the Ming.

At the same time, except for the northwestern border, most of the Persian region was already within the Ming camp.

It no longer makes much practical sense for Persia to remain as an independent state, so it should be taken as a vassal.

Later, the buffer between Daming and Tessie was Ottoman.

In the future, Da Ming will start to clean up Lucia himself.

The next negotiations were mainly for Lucia, but that wasn't for today.

Next, Daming and Osman worked out more details and signed a relatively formal memorandum.

Wait for the formal agreement to be completed, and then the official contract will be signed.

After the meeting that day, the relevant news was sent back to the rear of the countries as quickly as possible.

The news that Osman was going to relent, although it had been heard before the meeting began.

However, the confirmation process at the official meeting is still very important, and once the results are clear, they can be disclosed to the private sector.

The officials of the Daming Jingshi Honglu Temple received the news and immediately ran to report Zhu Jianyan.

Zhu Jianyan took the telegraph and read it several times with a smile on his face, and then handed it to the people around him:

"Publish it now! Tomorrow morning's newspaper must be all there! I'm going to tell my father! ”

After the telegram was transmitted, the cabinet office was filled with cheers.

Since the beginning of this year, the actual war has basically stopped, but it has gradually changed from a disadvantage to a draw, and from a draw to a victory.

This strange feeling has not appeared in Daming in the past.

In the past, it was all about annexing or driving out the enemy, and a more casual treaty might be signed, but it was not specifically negotiated so carefully.

I didn't seriously think about it, and I was able to force the Xiyi to admit defeat by simply tossing and turning around at the negotiating table.

They hadn't used the diplomatic power that the Ming Dynasty should have before.

It's not that it won't, it's that it doesn't need to be at all

This was the first time that a foreign war had ended in a draw.

Zhu Jianyan walked briskly, went to the next door to find the old emperor, and briefly explained the official news received.

The old emperor was already prepared, and after listening to it, he smiled and nodded lightly:

"This result is the credit of Jingyuan, but Osman is not actually the point, the focus is still on Lucia's side.

"The outcome of the negotiations with Lucia will determine whether this is a twenty-year truce or a real peace.

"But the twenty-year truce should be exactly what the kid wanted.

"Otherwise, did he prepare those weapons in vain?"

The smile on Zhu Jianyan's face stiffened slightly, he had just skipped himself in the past twenty years:

"Hehe......"

The old emperor thought about it a little again, and reminded him more seriously:

"If he really wants a twenty-year truce, he will let go of the establishment of Khiva and Kazakh vassals for a while, and wait until the negotiations are over.

"Now by any means, it is impossible for Lucia to completely abandon the east of the Urals, and it is unlikely that east of the Yenisei River.

"During the peace talks, it is possible that the Lucians will act impulsively and once again exchange fire with the Ming as members of the anti-Ming alliance.

But after the armistice agreement was signed, they would never dare to unilaterally declare war on the Ming Dynasty.

"At that time, we will be free to build forward bases around the Caspian Sea and extend the railway directly to the Ural region.

"When the armistice period arrives, the troops will move north from the Caspian Sea, and the east of the Urals will be in our pocket."

Zhu Jianyan opened his mouth, and a lot of thoughts poured out in his heart, but this incident happened twenty years later, and it seemed that it had nothing to do with him:

"Erchen understood, and turned back to tell the kid."

Zhu Jianyan withdrew from his father's room and continued to go about his own business.

Now that the old emperor is letting go more and more, he has more and more things to do.

At the same time, Zhu Jianyan's orders were also transmitted to various newspapers through the Ministry of Rites, forming two tasks.

First of all, it is necessary to publish the news normally, indicating that the negotiations between the Ming Dynasty and the Ottomans have basically ended, and the Ming Dynasty has basically achieved its strategic goals.

Then there is the more important task, which is to analyze and evaluate the realization of the strategic goal itself, as well as the achievement of the strategic goal through negotiation.

It was already afternoon, and the next morning's newspaper would be printed before dawn.

Counting the time required for typesetting, the relevant writers only have a few hours to rush the manuscript immediately.

It's easy to just report, but it's hard to comment.

The subject matter of this kind of thing is very large, and now that I have started to conceive it directly on the spot, I may not be able to write any impactful articles.

However, many newspapers and writers do not need to start from scratch now, they usually have all kinds of preparations.

The direction of the Ming Dynasty's operations to seize the Egyptian region was made public shortly after the start of this war.

Many newspaper and current affairs writers wrote similar articles ten years ago, and planned to publish them after the Ming Dynasty took those areas.

As a result, the war situation in the West Sea was deadlocked, so those drafts were repeatedly changed many times, and they were never reported for more than ten years.

Now that there is finally an opportunity, many newspapers have immediately turned over the original articles.

So the next morning's newspaper showed a lot of refurbished versions of articles that had been pressed for more than ten years.

There are also some brain-opening ideas.

When Zhu Jianyan got up to read the newspaper the next day, he found something very strange.

"China has regained another piece of homeland".

Another piece, without saying the last piece, without saying the first piece, without any absolute description, seems very rigorous.

But what's going on in this homeland?

Zhu Jianyan looked through it carefully, and saw a few lines of words.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness of the West" has clouds:

In the south of the West Sea, on the shore of quicksand, after the red water, before the black water, there is a big mountain, which is called the hill of Kunlun.

There is a god, a human face and a tiger body, there is a text and a tail, all white, and it is dealt with.

There is an abyss of weak water under it, and there is a mountain of fire outside it.

West Sea - Great Qin Sea, Great Qin Sea is the West Sea, and the name of the Ming Dynasty's Xihai Political Envoy is appropriate.

Quicksand - The Great Desert, the Great Food Region is surrounded by a boundless desert.

Chishui - the Red Sea, the reflection of the stones around the coast, making the sea appear red, this is an ancient memory.

Black water - the Nile, the Red Sea is already here, then the black water can only be the Nile, not the Black Sea, the place is too far away.

The human face of the tiger - the tiger body and the human face, such a big thing is placed there, it is the idol of this god.

The Mountain of Fire, which is caused by an underground petroleum gas leak, is a phenomenon that is quite common in the area.

Therefore, the Great Food Region, including Egypt, was originally my homeland in China, and now it has finally returned to the Celestial Empire, which is really the appearance of a prosperous era.

Further down are all kinds of braggart rhetoric, in short, it is to praise me for my invincibility in the future.

After reading it, Zhu Jianyan first retracted his "rigorous" evaluation, and then was silent for a long time.

In terms of some needs, the newspaper makes sense.

Regardless of whether this is true or not, whether it is far-fetched or not, it is the right thing for the cultural department to correspond to the newly occupied land of the Ming Dynasty into the cultural symbols of their own homes.

So after the morning of the next day, Zhu Jianyan went to the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Let the officials of the Ministry of Rites find other more suitable and available directions in the direction of this article, or in other directions that are more suitable and available, to provide a theoretical and cultural basis for the Ming Dynasty's rule over the Great Food Region.

The current Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty does not care about examinations and education, and is specially assigned to a separately established school department.

Regardless of diplomacy, all the relevant functions are handed over to Honglu Temple.

He is still in charge of etiquette, but it is very different from the etiquette of the classical era, and it is more about the organization and management of various large-scale events.

The day-to-day work is mainly in the aspect of culture and publicity, and all newspapers, periodicals, books, operas, poems, and advocacy are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites.

It was also the job of the Ministry of Rites to provide a theoretical basis for the reign of the Ming Dynasty.

After arranging the task, Zhu Jianyan went to the Ministry of Officials again and asked the relevant officials to determine the local administrative division.

There have been discussions about whether or not to set up vassal states, how many vassal states, and how many political envoys should be set up.

At present, it is just that the most suitable plan that was determined at the beginning will be adjusted according to the scope of the territory actually obtained now, and then the manpower will be arranged to implement it.

When Zhu Jianyan was busy, the news in the newspaper also spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.

Most of the elite cheered, calling friends out to eat, drink and celebrate, and discuss the opportunities that might exist in these new territories.

Unlike the classical era before the Renwu Dynasty, many of the emerging elites of the Ming Dynasty after the Renwu Dynasty became wealthy by the east wind of Ming expansion and industrialization.

For more than 100 years, the middle and upper class groups of the Ming Dynasty have formed a certain inertial cognition, as long as the Ming Dynasty can occupy new land, then most of them will have new opportunities to make a fortune.

The officials in the court also gradually got used to this method, so they would not stop the Ming Dynasty's military expansion.

Before this world war, I didn't even think about the situation of not being able to win.

At the same time, the ruling class of Taixi's native countries, although they did not have the feeling of victory on the side of the Ming Dynasty, they were also greatly relieved.

The high-pressure atmosphere that lasted for a month was finally relieved, and the frequency of recreational activities that had been reduced for a month was immediately restored.

It's just that this relaxation won't last long, because the negotiations between Daming and Lucia are about to begin.
