Chapter 129: You are not qualified to discuss peace.
The British were serious about the deal.
Through the agreement between Spain and the Ming Dynasty, the South Tianzhu was exchanged for the Central Yinzhou region.
British Prime Minister William Pitt Jr. believes that this is indeed a deal conducive to peace.
Pitt even laughed at himself in his heart, this may be the first time that the British people sincerely hope for peace, and they are sincerely working for peace.
Then he was resolutely and decisively rejected by Zhu Jingyuan.
After Pete was stunned for a few seconds, he instinctively asked Zhu Jingyuan loudly with some irresistible inner impulses:
"Your Highness - you have claimed many times before that you are here for peace.
"Now the deal proposed by the British, which is obviously more conducive to peace, has been rejected by you outright.
"Therefore, only peace that satisfies you is peace.
"And peace that does not satisfy you cannot be called peace?"
Pete's voice was relatively loud, and when he said it, it had completely turned into a question.
The scene was also completely silent, and everyone looked at Zhu Jingyuan together.
Tessie felt that Pete had spoken his mind, so he wanted to see how Zhu Jingyuan would explain.
It is to abandon the slogan of so-called peace, but what kind of reason to use to express the lake.
The representatives of the Ming side were ready to decide whether to help deal with it or not according to Zhu Jingyuan's reaction.
Zhu Jingyuan listened to Pete's question, frowned slightly and thought about it for a moment, then nodded very seriously:
"Yes, what Mr. Pitt said is very reasonable, only the peace that I approve of is a truly meaningful peace.
"The peace that cannot satisfy the Ming Dynasty is a meaningless peace, and it is a false peace."
The scene was quieter.
The representatives of the Tessie countries all had their mouths grown.
I feel that I have never seen such a direct and domineering Ming diplomat.
The representative of the Ming Dynasty was also stunned.
His Royal Highness the Prince of his own family is really ...... It's too simple and crude......
Even if you're telling the truth, it's the reality of this world, and it's a little bit of a cover-up.
However, before Zhu Jingyuan finished speaking, Zhu Jingyuan leaned forward slightly, stretched out his hand and pointed at William Pitt and said:
"Don't think I'm being overbearing, I'm just stating the facts.
"If this world wants peace, it must get the permission of the Ming Dynasty.
"You think about it seriously, can peace that is not recognized by the Ming Dynasty really be considered peace?
"Can the peace that has damaged the interests of the Ming Dynasty really be maintained? Will you be able to enjoy it with peace of mind?
"You might as well put yourself in another position, if you are the representative of the Ming Dynasty, or your country has the status of the Ming Dynasty, what would you do?
"Only by recognizing this reality and understanding what true peace is can it truly contribute to world peace.
"Before you do anything, it's best to think about whether Da Ming will accept it, and whether Da Ming will oppose it.
"If Da Ming will definitely oppose it, you'd better not do it.
"If you can't be sure, you might as well ask directly, anyway, there is already a telegram now.
"I want to build a coalition of countries around the world, and one of the main purposes is to give you a platform to ask Da Ming at any time."
Zhu Jingyuan said in the end, the scene was already smelling the pins dropping.
All had nothing to say.
There's really nothing to say.
This is really the truth.
What is peace that is not recognized by the Ming Dynasty?
The Taixi countries can get rid of the Ming Dynasty and shout "peace" by themselves, but there can obviously be no real peace.
Otherwise, what are they asking Daming to negotiate for?
Zhu Jingyuan mentioned several times that he would directly cease the war on the current front, but no country was willing to accept it.
This is to figure out what Da Ming's appeal is.
It is to satisfy the interests of the Ming Dynasty, and then there can be real peace.
The logic of Zhu Jingyuan's remarks is actually the principle of "unanimity of the great powers" in later generations.
But the only real power in this world is the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, the foundation of international relations in this world will naturally evolve into the principle of Ming recognition.
Only things approved by the Ming Dynasty can be done.
Daming wants to establish an international alliance, a platform that can always show the majesty of Daming, which is indeed conducive to world peace.
Because this platform is really able to avoid a lot of conflicts.
Zhu Jingyuan looked at no one to speak, and finally added very heartily:
"Until your Rome crawls out of the grave, you are not qualified to discuss with the Ming what true peace is."
When these words were spoken, the atmosphere of the scene changed again.
Members of the royal family of several countries, representatives of several countries, and many more ordinary diplomats have experienced strong fluctuations in their moods.
They all opened their eyes wide and clenched their fists, imagining a direction.
Directions to Rome.
Zhu Jingyuan naturally raised another hand to Rome.
Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was almost brewing, Zhu Jingyuan cleared his throat and proposed the final peace conditions to Spain:
"Spain now has three options.
"First, transfer the Nanyin Continent, which has long been full of smoke, plus the ownership of the Panama region, as well as the strongholds that Spain still occupies in these areas, to the Ming Dynasty and sign a peace treaty for 20 years.
"Second, on the basis of the above conditions, add the whole of the Antilles, the whole of the area of Texas, and renounce the exploitation and possession of the area north of Texas and west of the Honey River, and conclude a peace treaty of indefinite duration.
"Third, continue the war now."
It is not impossible to sign a permanent peace treaty, as long as the Ming Dynasty does not take the initiative to declare war, it is not a breach of contract.
In the history of the two worlds that Zhu Jingyuan knows, there are too many examples of "peaceful" annexation of other countries.
It is possible to agitate for the independence of the other colony, and then declare war on the new country that has not signed a treaty.
It can support or even actively transport the rebels, so that the rebels can become their vassals after the rebellion is successful.
Economic means can also be used to force the internal situation of the other side to collapse, or, on the other hand, to declare war on its own initiative.
At the same time, it is also of practical value to retain a Tessie immigrant country or colony before taking full control of Yinzhou.
Install the latest version. 】
When the rebels of Southern Yinzhou were exterminated, those native Taixi people needed to have a place to go, and it was too difficult to clean them up directly.
Taking 10,000 steps back, as long as the interests are large enough, it is not impossible to take the initiative to tear up the treaty.
The representative of Spain listened to the three options, compared them a little carefully, and then was obviously stunned.
Spanish Prime Minister Manuel instinctively asked rhetorically:
"What does His Royal Highness Prince Oshiki mean? Why did the conditions proposed by Da Ming change again?
"Before, it was obviously only the whole Antilles, or the lesser Antilles plus Texas.
"How can you claim the whole of the Antilles now, and at the same time Texas?"
Zhu Jingyuan responded expressionlessly:
"Because I am not in a very good mood right now, I now hope that you will choose twenty years of peace, and preferably choose to continue the war.
"I can repeat once again that I myself am in favor of continuing the war.
"Not just for Spain, but also for Portugal, England, France, the Netherlands.
"Our Ming may not be able to directly occupy your territory for the time being, but can you threaten our Ming territory?
"So, the war we're going to have next is just a war for colonies.
"And my personal support for war does not contradict my pursuit of peace.
"It seems to me that only a complete and total war, a war in which one of the parties completely collapses and destroys, can bring the most lasting peace.
"Now that we are fighting a colonial war, we will fight until all the colonies of one of us collapse.
"As for whether your royal rule will collapse or not, it has nothing to do with me.
"You can rest assured that even if that day comes, we will not get involved in your homegrown affairs.
"I'm only going to take the colonies we need.
"Okay, my conditions have been given, and you have ten days to make a choice."
The Spaniard's expression froze again.
The expressions of the other Tessie representatives were also ugly.
This fifteen-year-old Prince of Daming can always easily make people understand what pain is.
will directly smash the most real and unbearable things to look at, spread them out, and put them in front of everyone.
Prince Fernando of Spain, who had not spoken since the beginning, seemed to be annoyed at this time.
He slapped the table hard, stood up and shouted:
"Since Daming wants to go to war, then we Spain would rather continue the war with Daming and accompany you to the last moment!"
Zhu Jingyuan applauded very happily when he heard it:
"Good, very good, very spirited, who else? Who else is going to continue the war?
"If everyone else makes the same choice, then our negotiations can be over.
"You can go back to your home country directly and rearrange the army to the front."
As a result, no one responded.
Some representatives of the royal family wanted to stand up, but they were also stopped by the ministers around them.
Zhu Jingyuan is really looking forward to it now, they all ran away in a fit of anger, and then the two sides continued to fight in Yinzhou and Tianzhu.
This possibility is also real.
In the past, it was possible to have a low-grade colonial war, or even a war on the continent, lasting for a few years or even a dozen years.
But the current war, if it continues for another ten years.
The Ming Dynasty's strategic bombers, high-speed battleships, and aircraft carriers should all run all over the ground.
Manuel, the prime minister of Spain, stood up and grabbed his own prince, but he also looked at Zhu Jingyuan indifferently:
"His Royal Highness Prince Dashi, we in Spain have not yet made a final decision, and we need time to consider and negotiate."
Manuel did not directly veto his own prince's words, but only asked for a buffer time for discussion and confirmation.
The final decision on whether or not to continue the war must have been made to their king.
The cruel words made by the prince of their family at the scene actually don't count.
Of course, Zhu Jingyuan understood this logic, so at this time, he waved his hand indifferently and said:
"It's still ten days, tell me your choice in ten days, or just leave and let the war continue.
"It's the same with other countries, if you want to continue the war, you just leave, and you don't need to come over and say cruel words!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Jingyuan looked at the Portuguese:
"We want to get the whole of Nanyinzhou, so Portugal wants to hand over the entire Brazilian colony.
"If you Portugal can't accept it, you can choose to continue the war like Spain.
Prince José of Portugal asked for details with a blank face:
"This should be a condition for permanent peace, right? So what are the terms of the twenty-year peace? ”
Zhu Jingyuan had already had a pre-eucalyptus in his heart, and answered him directly at this time:
"Hand over the entire Yajiang Valley, as well as the entire Brazilian Plateau, and you will keep only the plains of the southeastern coastal region."
Prince José nodded slightly:
"We'll make a decision in ten days."
