On June 5, the 34th year of Taiping in the Ming Dynasty, the Imperial Palace of the Western Cape was Fengtian Palace.

The signing ceremony of the peace treaty between Daming and Lucia was officially held.

The on-site layout and the entire process of the signing ceremony are basically the same as those of the Ottoman signing ceremony.

Representatives of various countries stood on both sides to witness, Zhu Jingyuan sat on the main seat above, and Nicholas, the prince of Lucia, sat on the right side.

There are two kinds of signing documents, which are written in two languages, but they are still subject to the Ming script.

Under the terms of the peace treaty, Lucia ceded the Lena River valley and the upper reaches of the Yenisei River to the Ming Dynasty.

Lucia divided the area east of the Ural Mountains and established the independent Grand Duchy of Xianbei, with the capital of Xianbei City (Novosibirsk). Error-free updates @

With Lucia's prince Alexander (Loa Mountain) as the grand duke, and signed a suzerain-vassal treaty with the Ming Dynasty, paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

The 300 km on both sides of the Ural Mountains is classified as a neutral demilitarized zone, and it is revealed that neither side is allowed to station troops in the zone.

Zhu Jingyuan and the two sides signed and exchanged documents after signing and sealing, and the peace treaty was formally established.

On behalf of Emperor Lucia, Nicholas gave the Ural Mountains and the land east of the Ural River to Loa Mountain as a feudal state.

Zhu Jingyuan, on behalf of the Ming Emperor, promulgated the edict to canonize Luo Yashan as the Duke of Xianbei.

By the way, an edict was issued to canonize the Kazakh Khanate as a foreign vassal.

Nikolai, on behalf of the Lucian Empire, announced his official withdrawal from the Anti-Ming Alliance.

During and after the ceremony, the representatives of the Ming Dynasty were always smiling and believed that this treaty was quite beneficial to the Ming Dynasty.

Lucia's delegates were all heartfelt at first, then sighed slowly, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that the peace treaty would keep peace for a hundred years.

The faces of the remaining representatives of the anti-Ming alliance were very ugly.

The Ming won another big step through negotiations, and the anti-Ming alliance was dismembered again.

Moreover, the Lucian Empire jumped from the Anti-Ming Alliance, and the impact was much worse than that of the Ottoman Empire.

Lucia is the real main force of the army, and it is the barrier of the entire Tessie continent against the Ming Dynasty.

Now that Lucia has reconciled with the Ming Dynasty and completely abandoned the development to the east, she will definitely go all out to the west and the Atlantic in the future.

Whether it is Prussia and Austria at Lucia's feet, or the Netherlands, England, France, Spain, Portugal on the sea, they will be challenged by a new and huge opponent.

Only Italy, which does not border the Lucian mainland and is entirely located in the Mediterranean, can be a little calmer.

After the peace treaty was signed, Lucia did not leave as directly as the Ottoman representatives, but stayed behind to wait for the discussion of the colony-related affairs.

For the Ming Dynasty, obtaining a few pieces of land in the Xianbei region, Lucia was called a tributary after being dismembered, and the actual income may not be as good as that of the Ottoman land.

But the impact of this incident was significantly greater than that of the Ottoman cession.

The first is that Lucia's national strength and influence, as well as the threat to the Ming Dynasty, are not comparable to the Ottomans.

Then there is the distance, Lucia's mainland used to be directly bordering the Ming mainland, and as long as the two countries fought each other, it was a local war.

Now after Lucia is separated, the two sides are truly separated, and the security of Daming's homeland has been greatly improved.

Some newspapers in the Ming Dynasty analyzed that there would never be a major war in the Ming Dynasty, and Huaxia Shenzhou would enjoy peace here.

Five days after Daming signed a contract with Lucia, Daming Taiping was on June 11, 34 years.

The representatives of the Ming and Lucia and the anti-Ming alliance gathered again in the Wenhua Hall of the Imperial Palace of the Western Cape.

The third round of negotiations between the Ming and the Anti-Ming Alliance officially began.

After Zhu Jingyuan announced the start of the meeting, he did not let Shen Fu talk as before, but continued to say by himself:

"The peace talks have been going on for three months, and the affairs on the Shenou continent are basically over, but the progress is still a little delayed.

"There are still international rules to be made and preparations for the League of Nations to be discussed, so I hope to speed up some progress.

"Daming and Lucia have reconciled again, and I hope to reconcile with the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain again."

Zhu Jingyuan paused here for a moment, and his gaze slowly swept over the faces of the representatives of the three countries.

。

There are six representatives in total, and their expressions are all extremely solemn, and they can even be said to be gloomy, and they are obviously under a lot of pressure.

Da Ming's previous persecution of Ottoman and Lucia made them instinctively think that Da Ming should treat themselves in the same way.

British Prime Minister Pitt also frowned, also looking in a state of great pressure. ，

However, the British thought things were completely different from those of the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal, and he was worried about the strategy of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, Zhu Jingyuan finally spoke:

"The premise of the settlement is that the Ming will get the whole of Southern Yinzhou, including Panama, plus the Antilles, and the Jiazhou Peninsula (California Peninsula) in Northern Yinzhou."

The representatives of the three countries were stunned, and then before they spoke, British Prime Minister Pitt spoke first:

"The Antilles can't be handed over to the Ming ......"

The Antilles are the islands in the middle of Yinzhou, which are divided into two parts: the Greater Antilles and the Lesser Antilles.

The Greater Antilles are almost the boundary between the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, including Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica, Puerto Rico and other places.

The Lesser Antilles are almost the dividing line between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, including Grenada, Dominica, Guadeloupe and other places.

Most of these islands, initially Spanish colonies, were later seized by the British.

When the British formed an anti-Ming alliance, they returned this part of the island to Spain.

Spain in this era was still very strong, and it was not weaker than the colonial empire of Britain and France.

The point is that there are several feuds with the British, and if the British want to reconcile with Spain and join, they will have to pay the price.

In its original history, Spain was the earliest colonial empire in the world, the earliest empire on which the sun never sets, and the earliest hegemon of the world's oceans.

According to middle and high school history textbooks, the defeat of Spain's Armada by the British in 1588 marked the decline of Spain's maritime supremacy, and England began to replace Spain as the maritime supremacy.

However, that is only a knowledge point for the exam, and it is completely described in a partial and comprehensive way.

After defeating the Spanish "Armada", the English attempted to attack the Spanish mainland the following year, but the result was total annihilation, and the actual losses were greater than those of the Spaniards in the 1588 war......

Three years later, Spain's maritime power began to recover, and it was at the Battle of Flores that the British were again defeated.

Ten years later, the Spanish Armada was stronger than it had been before, and the British were once again pinned down.

In fact, for almost two hundred years, from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, the hegemons of the world's oceans were all Spaniards.

Otherwise, Spain would not be able to maintain a large colony of Yinzhou.

The naval power of the British was also growing, but for a long time it could not be compared with Spain.

Otherwise, the British would not have encouraged pirate ships to raid and plunder, but they would have done so if they couldn't fight head-on.

The British wanted to seize the Spanish colony of Yinzhou, but several attempts ended in failure, and they could only continue to develop colonies in northern Yinzhou.

The complete decline of Spanish sea power was not until the Napoleonic Wars, after the Battle of Trafalgar, and after the independence of the Yinzhou colony.

As for the British, it was not until the Industrial Revolution was fully completed, that is, in the Victorian era, that they really sat on the throne of world hegemony.

In this time and space, Spain first followed the Ming Dynasty to start the Industrial Revolution, so it was not weak compared to Britain.

The British would have needed the support of the Ming in order to suppress Spain in the Atlantic.

After the British fell out with the Ming Dynasty, and even when they were ready to challenge the Ming Dynasty, they had to talk to Spain well.

So in this time and space, the entire Antilles still belong to Spain.

But a large part of it was handed over by the British before the war.

So when Zhu Jingyuan asked for it, the British reacted even more than the Spaniards.

But before Pete's instinctive objection was finished, Zhu Jingyuan directly interrupted Pitt's objection loudly:

。

"Stop your delusions, British.

"Stop trying to stop the Ming from gaining land on the Atlantic coast.

"That's no longer possible.

"Either way, the Netherlands have to give up Guyana, or give up the Gold Coast, and I think the Dutch should go for Guyana.

"Both of these places are not far from the Antilles at a distance from the British mainland.

"Your delusions are meaningless!"

Pete's expression froze suddenly, and he immediately understood that what Zhu Jingyuan said was reality.

The Guiana region of South Yinzhou was originally a Dutch colony.

Historically, it was divided into three parts, belonging to the Netherlands, England, and France, and Portugal also participated in the competition. @

In this world, when Spain monopolized the Ming trade, it seized the entire Guiana region from several other colonists.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and after the British formed an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, they took it from the Spaniards.

When the Anti-Ming League was formed, the British, in order to win over the Spaniards and the Dutch, divided it into two parts and returned it to Spain and the Netherlands.

The area of Guyana is very limited in development area, very sparsely populated, and has a relatively limited amount of tax revenue.

So the British didn't feel so distressed when they handed it over, and now the Dutch don't feel distressed when they hand it over.

The Dutch could not afford to remain in control of the Yinzhou colony.

Now we have to pay the price for the truce, and it is much better to give up Guiana in Yinzhou than to give up the Gold Coast in Mexico.

This condition is very easy for the Dutch.

The Netherlands itself was small in size, had a limited population, and even had very few colonies, which did not play much of a role in the war.

Zhu Jingyuan asked them to take out the Guyana colony with limited value, which is equivalent to apologizing and finishing.

Zhu Jingyuan learned from the advanced experience of the British, suppressed the local power of Taixi as much as possible, and slightly let it go of the weak country.

What's more important is that Daming is currently powerless to threaten the Netherlands, and if the Netherlands scolds the streets, Daming can't do anything about him.

Therefore, Zhu Jingyuan gave the weakest Netherlands the simplest condition, first eliminating him from the peace talks.

But on the other hand, Daming does not lack the income of the Gold Coast, and Daming cares more about the geographical location of Guyana.

Guyana could cooperate with the new heavenly government in the south and attack the Portuguese colonies in Brazil from the north and south.

Crucially, it was closer to the east coast of Yinzhou and could contain the British colonies of America.

Pete thought about these situations in his heart, and looked at the two representatives of the Netherlands with a very mixed feeling.

The British could not force the Dutch to give up the Gold Coast instead of Guyana, unless the British could offer better terms in exchange with the Dutch.

After discussing a few words with the Prime Minister, the Dutch prince quickly responded directly:

"If the Ming can promise a permanent peace, the Netherlands can give up all the colonies of Yinzhou."

Zhu Jingyuan nodded lightly:

"Okay, then let's take care of the two countries, let's look at Portugal and Spain, how are you thinking about it?"
