In the midst of apprehension and anticipation, three days passed in a blink of an eye.

On the morning of September 23, the 34th year of Taiping, the representatives of the countries of the League of Nations gathered at the Wenhua Hall of Huangzhuang at Haijiao in the Western Ocean.

This time, the seating arrangement has changed again.

Zhu Jingyuan sat in the middle of the upper position this time.

Rome's position was finally withdrawn.

There was a hint of sadness in the hearts of the royal family of Tessie, but they were quickly thrown aside.

Today there are more important things.

This time it is not a peace talk, but a new internal meeting of the alliance.

Zhu Jingyuan, as the representative of the alliance leader Daming, of course, sat on the top position.

The representatives of the four vice-alliance powers, the Great Food Country, the New Tianfu Huangzhuang Alliance, the United Kingdom, and Lucia, sat at the top of the left and right sides respectively.

The other representatives and countries were listed in the order of rear.

And on the large table in the middle of all the delegates, there is a rather large map of Mozhou.

It's very much in line with today's theme, dividing ...... No, open up the continent of Mozhou.

Zhu Jingyuan remembered the comics he had read in his previous life, where a group of people were around the table and drew lines on the map of Mozhou.

Regardless of whether it is divided in history or not, Zhu Jingyuan borrowed from this arrangement, but the layout is much more decent than in the comics.

On this map of Mozhou, many places on the north, east, and south banks of Mozhou are accurately drawn according to the latitude and longitude coordinates.

In other words, someone has carefully sailed around these places and recorded the coordinates of the coastline.

Only the central part of the West Coast, and a handful of places, are supplemented by feeling.

However, most of the interior of the continent is still a lake of Mohu, and most of the central part of the west is blank.

In other words, the countries of Daming and Taixi are not very clear at present, what is in the interior of Mozhou.

In later generations, many people did not understand the colonial order of Mozhou and Yinzhou by the Taixi people.

Mozhou is so close to Tessie that it is separated by a narrow Mediterranean Sea.

Even if you go to sub-Saharan Island, it is much closer than going to Yinzhou, and you can sail along the coastline, which is safer.

But it wasn't until the end of the 19th century that Tessie began to carve up Mozhou on a large scale.

It was not until 1905 that the entire Mozhou was basically divided.

The distance to North Yinzhou is farther, and it is necessary to cross the Atlantic Ocean and go several times farther to South Yinzhou.

By the 1700s, Nanyinzhou had been occupied by Spain and Portugal.

By the 1800s, the entire Yinzhou was basically divided.

The reason is actually very simple, the early colonization of Mozhou is likely to lose money.

In the early colonial era, Taixi's technological level and combat effectiveness were basically not superior to other regions.

Spain and Portugal, the two earliest colonial powers, explored the world in the 1500s.

At that time, Tessie was also in the agricultural era, and the two countries that first developed overseas colonies were still not very good countries in Tessie.

The scientific and technological level of the two teeth, as well as the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, are not top-notch.

In the early days of colonization, they were mainly abducted and deceived.

In the name of trade, simple handicrafts were exchanged for slaves of the Mo tribe.

It's not that they don't want to do business, they don't want to capture slaves by themselves, but they don't have enough money.

In the early days, they couldn't even beat the Yin people.

The shipping capacity of the Age of Sail was limited, and the small number of colonizer soldiers and rogue bastards were unable to directly conquer a large-scale indigenous regime.

The Aztecs once defeated the Spaniards and dug out their hearts to worship the gods.

Then the Aztecs got smallpox.

The Yin people lived alone in the isolated New World for tens of thousands of years, and had no resistance to the viruses of the Old World, and immediately began to die on a large scale.

So the Taixi people found a good way to deal with the Yin people, and sold the blankets and other daily necessities used by smallpox patients to the Yin people.

Pretending to trade, deliberately poisoning, and cooperating with a small number of musket troops, they constantly destroyed the Yin tribes and occupied their lands.

They slowly occupied the entire Yinzhou Continent and opened the prosperous era of the Taixi people, so they always had a soft spot for this trick.

But Mozhou people don't eat this set.

The Black Death and smallpox themselves are native products of Mozhou, and the people of Mozhou themselves have a certain degree of resistance.

Moreover, there are people everywhere in the entire Mozhou, unlike Yinzhou, which has a large number of real no man's land, and there is no way to easily enclose land and farm.

At the same time, the indigenous people of Mozhou do not have the production capacity of the Nanyang and Tianzhu regions, and they cannot obtain similar benefits as Tianzhu and Nanzhu by providing protection or forcible conquest.

The point is that the land of Mozhou is not as fertile as Yinzhou.

In addition to finding precious metals such as gold and silver, the early colonization was mainly agricultural colonization, and Nanyinzhou was dominated by a plantation economy for a long time.

Therefore, the Taixi people have not been interested in the land of Mozhou for a long time.

It is only at key shipping route nodes that some coastal land is occupied as a supply base.

It was not until the late 19th century that the Industrial Revolution was fully completed.

The transportation capacity of the Taixi people, as well as the combat effectiveness of the relative natives, have increased geometrically, and they finally have an absolute advantage over other regions.

At the same time, after the productivity skyrocketed, they began to chase the dumping ground of goods, and at the same time, Yin Zhou had already been carved up.

Therefore, at the end of the nineteenth century, the Taixi countries set off a frenzy to carve up Mozhou.

In this world, the industrial revolution came earlier, coupled with the strong turmoil of the Ming Dynasty, Yin Zhou had not yet been carved up.

When the industrial revolution was fully completed, the anti-Ming World War broke out again, and the countries of the world could not take care of Mozhou for the time being.

Therefore, the comprehensive exploration and division of Mozhou has been delayed until now.

Now, the representatives of the Tessie countries subconsciously looked at the map.

In addition to a large number of blank areas, as well as the colonial strongholds of several countries along the coast, there is a straight red line.

It starts on the western side of the port of Sallum on the western border of Egypt and continues south to the northern middle border of the South Mo region.

In addition, the northwest corner of the continent, which is the Moroccan region, and the southwest corner of the western bulge of the continent, which is later known as Liberia, are also circled in red.

However, there are several other small circles in the Moroccan circle, which are marked with the same color as the Spanish mainland on the other side, which are several small Spanish colonies.

Basically, there is no need to explain directly, and all the Tessie representatives immediately understood.

To the east of the straight line, and to the places circled by the red line, except for the Spanish colonies, were all areas claimed by the Ming Dynasty.

These lands were much more than the historical British carved up from Mexi.

But all the countries of Taixi were inexplicably relieved, and they felt that Da Ming was not particularly excessive.

Then there's a green line that circles the Congolese rainforest region in south-central Mezhou.

One part of it crossed the red line of the Ming Dynasty, and the red line of that part became an intermittent dotted line.

The representatives of the western countries also understood that this was requested by Zhu Jingyuan, and the Congolese rainforest reserve was a reserved area that could not be allocated.

Sure enough, Zhu Jingyuan said directly:

"Daming doesn't have many requirements in Mozhou, and it has been directly marked, two points in the east and west of Mozhou.

"The Ming Dynasty demanded two pieces of land in the west, not for large-scale colonization there, so the land area is not large.

"It will be a transit point for our route to Yinzhou, as well as a reservation for the Mo slaves repatriated from Yinzhou."

Zhu Jingyuan's words made the representatives of the western countries confirm their guesses.

Then continue to consider the impact of this request of the Ming Dynasty on the situation in Mozhou, and more importantly, the impact on the countries of Taixi.

The Spaniards were the first to react, and Prime Minister Manuel said directly:

"Your Royal Highness, with all due respect, the Ming Dynasty's request for the Moroccan region will deeply disturb the countries of southwestern Thailand.

"I hope that the Ming Dynasty will not open up in these areas, and if supplies are needed, our ports can provide them."

It's very tactful, but it's actually quite resolute.

Then the Portuguese, Italians, and French immediately followed suit.

Zhu Jingyuan looked at their reaction and asked casually:

"Do you mean, then, that the Moroccan region should be completely handed over to Spain for development?"

The Spanish Prime Minister nodded subconsciously:

"Morocco is the closest ...... to Spain"

But the Portuguese, the Italians, the French immediately disagreed.

Morocco would be completely handed over to Spain, and its control over Gibraltar would rise again.

The French and Italians were even less free to enter and leave the Great Qin Sea.

French Foreign Minister Talleyrand said directly:

"The two sides of Gibraltar should not be completely handed over to the same country, and we in France are capable of bringing prosperity and development to Morocco."

Portugal and Italy were a little torn between not wanting Morocco to be completely Spain.

But at the same time, they don't want to hand over the south coast to France, but if they stand up and fight, they don't have any confidence.

Just as the two were thinking about how to speak, British Prime Minister Pitt, who didn't seem to want to do anything, interjected:

"Morocco's position is too sensitive, not only for Daming and Taisi, but also for Taixi countries.

"So I propose that Morocco remain independent under the protection of the Union.

"No other country within the League shall be allowed to engage in war on Moroccan territory.

"Morocco maintains an equal policy of openness to the countries of the Union, and all countries of the Union are allowed to supply and do business within their borders."

The British's suggestion seems to have made a lot of sense.

But Morocco was not originally the sphere of influence of the British.

If the countries of the alliance agree with the British proposal, then the British are eligible to go to Morocco.

This routine is the same as that of Zhu Jingyuan's Americans in his previous life, nominally equal opportunities, but in fact it is to give them their own opportunities.

Because according to the original rules, they didn't have a chance to participate.

Zhu Jingyuan frowned directly without hesitation and replied:

"Gibraltar has nothing to do with non-Great Qin Sea countries, and the British should not meddle everywhere.

"Morocco can be protected by many countries, but only in the Greater Qin Sea countries."

Pete, who was punctured from his thoughts, didn't care at all and directly mentioned another topic:

"Then Lucia is not a Great Qinhai Country?"

Lucia's delegates also came to the spirit, and if their ship wanted to go from the Black Sea to the Atlantic, they had to go Gibraltar through the Great Qin Sea.

The question seemed likely to provoke a dispute, and the British were as skilled as ever in this way.

But Zhu Jingyuan, who represents the Ming Dynasty, directly made a final decision and knocked all the disputes to death:

"The Black Sea is also part of the Great Qin Sea, and Lucia is of course a Great Qin Sea country.

"The Seven Kingdoms of the Great Qin Sea include the Ming Dynasty, the Ottomans, Austria, Italy, France, Spain, and Lucia.

"The area of Morocco was part of Spain and is still owned by Spain.

"The rest of the region is jointly protected by the seven countries of the Great Qin Sea to ensure peace, stability and prosperity for Morocco.

"All seven countries can build ports and wharves and open commercial houses on their local coasts.

"After the meeting, the seven countries concerned jointly arranged a delegation to Morocco to persuade the Alawite dynasty to accept our protection.

"That's the end of Morocco's problems."

Several other countries were stunned for a moment, and then went back and expressed their approval one after another.

The Spaniards felt that it was okay to do so, to keep their existing land and participate in the distribution of other land.

Although the French want to monopolize Morocco, they also know that it is unrealistic, and it is not a loss to be able to control the local area together with the support of the Ming Dynasty.

Lucia, Italy, Austria, and the Ottomans were all surprises.

Italy didn't expect that Daming would be so generous and so moral.

Osman didn't expect that he was also qualified to participate in the division of Mozhou.

Austria didn't even open its mouth before, and it directly got the right to participate, and it didn't react at all.

Lucia was even more directly moved, Daming promised to let Lucia go to the Atlantic, and now it has been directly fulfilled.

The provisions of the international straits in the Convention of Alliance, together with the agreement to jointly protect Morocco, directly secure the Atlantic route of Lucia!

Is this what it feels like for Daming to be a defender of order?

Of course, some people were unhappy, and the British, Prussia, the Dutch, and Portugal did not get a share of the benefits at all.

But it is also true that they are not within the Great Qin Sea and do not need to enter the Atlantic Ocean through the Strait of Gibraltar.

The point is that there is no substantial possession of nearby land, let alone any qualifications to intervene.

Moreover, the distribution of Mozhou has just begun, and there is still more land in the south, so I have no choice but to accept the reality.

What can really be unacceptably painful is, of course, Morocco itself.

The Alawite dynasty of Morocco ruled Morocco from the 1660s and lasted until Zhu Jingyuan's crossing.

Before World War I and World War II, it was divided between France and Spain, but it was still similar to a form of vassalage, and the ruling family was not broken.

Now, Morocco has gone from being divided between Spain and France to being fought against it by the Seven Kingdoms of the Great Qin Sea.

The only thing that might make them feel a little fortunate is that the Ming Dynasty adopted the method proposed by the British, choosing "common protection" rather than separate annexation.

So the Alawite dynasty of this world is still able to continue to exist.

If Zhu Jingyuan does not intervene, they are likely to be worse than in history, and they may be directly annexed by Spain and France, which lost a lot of land in Yinzhou.

It's just that there was no representative of Morocco at the scene, and he had no idea what fate he was going to face.

Zhu Jingyuan's strategy in Mozhou is very simple, take the interests that did not belong to the Ming Dynasty and share them directly with relevant countries.

Let them gradually trust and accept the order dominated by the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, let the countries of Taixi make great efforts to develop Mozhou, and use more effort than in history.

It's better to fight another world war in Mozhou......
