Of course, Da Ming will not really be a good person when he is assigned.

Especially after Uncle Nine's reminder.

After Zhu Jingyuan and other representatives from various countries had no opinions, they continued to explain the attitude of the Ming Dynasty:

"Now that Morocco has been handed over to the countries of the Great Qin Sea for joint protection, the area claimed by the Ming Dynasty in the south will be expanded."

Zhu Jingyuan said and waved his hand, and the two guards stepped forward to move the map.

The map turned out to be housed in a huge picture frame, and a huge piece of glass was attached to the outside of the frame.

The two guards turned the map around and sent the front to Zhu Jingyuan.

Zhu Jingyuan picked up the oil-based pen on the table and magnified the red circle in the south of Ximozhou.

The Gambia of the British, Guinea-Bissau of the Portuguese, and the southern Senegal colony of the French were all drawn.

Therefore, after these few strokes, the representatives of the three countries immediately exploded.

The British, in particular, were particularly aggrieved, and Prime Minister Pitt widened his eyes and said:

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Great Food, what does the Ming Dynasty have to do with me and the United Kingdom to hand over Morocco to the Seven Kingdoms of the Great Qin Sea to share? It doesn't make any sense! ”

The Portuguese and French were quick to follow suit.

Zhu Jingyuan waved his hand and said:

"Don't worry......

Then Zhu Jingyuan changed to a dark blue pen and added a few strokes around the French colony of Senegal next to him.

Let the land extend to the north, directly adjacent to Western Sahara in Spain, and extend the border between the two sides into the interior of the continent.

Finally, it was painted near the western border of Mauritania.

At the same time, the mouth continued to arrange:

"Further inland, we don't know what there is, let's talk about it later, so we don't draw the western inland border.

"In this way, the western coastline of Mozhou has been allocated, can France and Spain accept such an arrangement?"

The representative of Spain nodded directly and said that he had no opinion, and that he had a slight opinion about not being able to fully control Morocco just now, and now he is completely gone.

The French felt a little awkward and abandoned an existing colony to gain a large area to be explored that was recognized by the Ming and other countries.

Overall, of course, it is not a loss, but Daming he wants both, and he takes it for nothing.

However, the French representative Talleyrand thought about the status of the Ming Dynasty, and finally chose to accept this arrangement.

Don't think about what Daming has gotten, no country is comparable to Daming, just think about what your own country can get.

After Zhu Jingyuan arranged for the French, he glanced at the British and Portuguese.

The representatives of these two countries are waiting for Zhu Jingyuan to make appropriate compensation arrangements.

Several other countries are also watching.

The mood of the two sides is very different.

Both Britain and Portugal want more compensation from Daming, and other countries certainly want less compensation.

Today's things are very clear, the entire Mozhou is a piece of cake, and Zhu Jingyuan is the one who shares the cake.

Daming's share is fixed, and after compensating Morocco for its losses, Daming will not ask for it again.

After settling Morocco's accounts, what remains is a fair share.

Zhu Jingyuan asked the guards to turn the map, sent the southern part of Mozhou to him, and looked at the southwest corner of Mozhou.

Later Angola, Namibia, and the northwest of South Africa are now empty of the interior.

The northern coastline of Angola, which belongs to Portugal, and the northwestern coastline of South Africa, which belongs to the United Kingdom.

Zhu Jingyuan took a ruler and a pen and extended the coastline of Portugal to the south and the coastline of England to the north for a distance.

The width of the colonies of the two countries was expanded, and then a straight line was drawn westward along the border line, connecting with the border line of the Ming Dynasty.

Comparatively speaking, Britain expanded more and Portugal less, which is also in line with the status of the two countries.

Then Zhu Jingyuan looked up at the representatives of the two countries:

"This is the compensation to Britain and Portugal, and the land that should be allocated to both countries."

The representatives of the two countries had serious expressions and looked carefully at the colonies that Zhu Jingyuan had given him.

It is true that the colonies of his own country have expanded a lot.

The coastline was extended, and at the same time extended inland to the end, and these places were later clearly their own country.

This compensation and distribution is barely acceptable.

However, the area now looks like a sandwich with three layers on top of each other.

The Portuguese and British colonies were separated from each other, and there was a small piece of land in the middle that was still empty.

That is, the northern part of Namibia, plus the southern part of Angola.

It's a desert and steppe zone, and while it's not a good place, it's not too many colonies.

The representatives of the two countries opened their mouths almost instinctively, hoping to give the land in the middle to themselves, and not to keep it any longer.

As a result, Zhu Jingyuan's originally amiable expression suddenly became a little ugly:

"You two have enough colonies in Mozhou, let's divide them among other countries that don't have colonies."

The representatives of the two countries already understood Zhu Jingyuan's temper, and they knew that there was no need to talk about it when they looked at his reaction.

Several deputies were a little unwilling, but in the face of the suppression of the Ming represented by Zhu Jingyuan, they could only nod and accept this assignment in the end.

In this way, the accounts of the colonies of various countries are settled.

But it seems that there is not much land left in Mozhou.

Several representatives of the countries that have not yet colonized are now a little anxious, and the eyes of the Lucians are a little green.

Zhu Jingyuan looked up at several countries that did not have colonies:

"To whom is this land between England and Portugal to? Is Austria interested? ”

Zhu Jingyuan originally wanted to give Lucia and let Lucia go to the border with the British, so as to create territorial disputes and contradictions between the two sides.

But this place also borders the Ming Dynasty.

Daming really didn't want to border Lucia anymore, so he chose Austria, which was adjacent to Daming on the sea.

Let Austria, which does not have a border with the British, pass.

For a country like Austria, which has no colonies, the answer to Zhu Jingyuan's question is obvious.

Does this need to be asked?

The representative of Austria, Foreign Minister Stadion, responded almost without hesitation:

"We in Austria are willing to accept it!"

Zhu Jingyuan nodded lightly:

"Okay, so that the Southwest Mozhou is finished, let's change the angle......"

Zhu Jingyuan asked the guards to adjust the angle of the map again, and moved the west side of Mozhou in front of him.

In the depression area in the middle of the Mozhou continent, there is a raised place inside, and two lines are drawn on both sides.

This is almost what will be later Nigeria.

In the north, there is the more famous Songhaimo Empire, which was gradually occupied by the British until the 1880s.

It's a great place.

Just look at the population of 200 million in later generations, which directly accounts for one-sixth of the entire Mozhou, you know that this place can support people.

It is also the largest oil producer in Mexico, the seventh largest oil exporter in the world, and the largest in Africa in terms of natural gas reserves and production.

It is also the only coal-producing country in West Africa, and other resources are also very rich.

It is still theoretically a "borderland", at least neither the Ming nor the Taixi countries have yet to establish colonies.

Zhu Jingyuan seemed to say very casually:

"According to the original armistice agreement, Prussia's original stronghold in the east of Mozhou was given to Daming, and now this land will be given to Prussia.

"I've heard that there are a lot of resources here, there is coal, there is oil, and there is land suitable for farming.

"I hope you can build a new Germany here."

The two representatives of Prussia were directly overjoyed, and Hardenberg subconsciously asked:

"Your Royal Highness, is there really coal and oil here? Where did you hear about it? ”

Of course, Zhu Jingyuan's memories of his previous life can't be said directly:

"I don't remember where I saw it, maybe it was a book, maybe it was some explorer's notes.

"I don't remember very clearly, I can't give you a definite guarantee, whether there is or not, you have to verify it yourself."

Hardenberg and Heinrich had no doubts.

The colonial development of this era was often carried out by many individual explorers, who were either funded by certain countries to explore unknown areas.

Then the corresponding country investigates the situation and decides whether to arrange the army and immigrants.

The confusion and uncertainty of the data are very large.

The two Prussian deputies happily agreed, and sincerely thanked Zhu Jingyuan:

"Prussia thanks His Royal Highness Prince Dashi for his support......"

Zhu Jingyuan raised his head again and glanced at the representatives of several other countries, all of whom were now in a state of impunity, especially the Lucians.

So Zhu Jingyuan continued to write next to the Prussian colony.

First of all, the eastern part of Cameroon was given to the Lucians.

The Cameroon region is located in the inner bend of the western coast of Mozhou, and the coastline is not long, but the internal exploitable area is not small.

And it's close to the equator, it's a real sunny land with the warmest port.

Lucia's Prince Nikolai, Prime Minister Widmayer, is now a little excited.

Accept this assignment solemnly together, and at the same time thank Zhu Jingyuan very much.

Lucia's colony was also adjacent to Prussia, and it is not known what would happen in the future.

Zhu Jingyuan nodded lightly and continued to divide the colonies on the map.

The western part of Nigeria, Benin and Togo, was assigned to the Italians.

The southern side of Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon, which was not covered by rainforests, was given to the Spaniards.

South of Gabon, on both sides of the Congo estuary and inland, and a small part of the surrounding non-rainforest area, was given to the Ottomans.

Finally, the border between the Dutch Gold Coast and the French Côte d'Ivoire was extended inland.

In this way, the entire coastline of Mozhou will be fully divided.

Various countries have been given some land to a greater or lesser extent.

But the mood of the delegates from country to country varied.

Some were more satisfied, such as Prussia, Lucia, Ottoman.

The representative of the Ottomans, the Grand Vizier, really did not expect that the Ottomans would be able to divide the colonies.

Some delegates felt that it was okay, such as Austria and Italy, which basically obtained a piece of colonial development rights at zero cost.

The Dutch were also relieved that they had retained the Gold Coast and were able to expand its reach inland.

Some countries are not very satisfied, such as France, the United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal.

On the Mozhou continent, they basically didn't get too much additional land, and basically expanded to the interior on the basis of the original colony.

Looking at the landlocked countries of Prussia and Lucia, and also getting a lot of colonies, I was a little unconvinced.

If the Ming Dynasty does not intervene, the colonial development ability of these countries will definitely not be comparable to their own.

Portugal had been fighting on both sides of the Congo River, and historically gradually annexed this area to Angola.

But now that it has been given to the Ottomans, they have no choice but to abandon these plans.

However, the representatives of the four countries did not feel particularly uncomfortable, and the Ming Dynasty represented by Zhu Jingyuan at least did not harm their interests.

Daming does not support those landlocked countries, Daming directly competes with him, and he may not be able to get more land.

Now that there is no need for any war, the country can steadily expand its land, which is already a good thing.

Of course, the British and French representatives did not know how much land they occupied in Mozhou in the original history. If not, you may be depressed.

As for Zhu Jingyuan himself, when he divided the colonies among the Taixi countries, of course, it was not based on personal preferences, but with direct goals.

Let the countries of Taixi maintain a relative equilibrium, give more points to countries without colonies, and a little less to those that already have.

Of course, it is not that whichever country is the weakest will give the most colonies.

The weakest countries simply cannot maintain too many colonies, nor can they afford to build them.

It is useless to forcibly distribute them to them, and it will be difficult for other countries to accept.

Therefore, Italy, Ottomans, and Austria, the three countries that have little stamina, do not directly take much land.

The land directly allocated to the most, and probably the best, are Prussia and Lucia, and their development potential can be regarded as the strongest in the whole of Tessie.

Let the capable Taixi countries participate in the division and construction of Mozhou, so that they have the opportunity to have conflicts in Mozhou.

Now this distribution is barely balanced.

The representatives of various countries at the scene carefully analyzed and discussed for a while, and slowly accepted this division.

Then the French delegate Talleyrand opened his mouth and asked a more concerned question:

"Your Royal Highness, on this map, only the rainforest region and some areas to the south are completely connected, and the borders of the countries are completely connected.

"There is still a gap in the interior of the continent in the north and west, how should these areas be distributed subsequently?"

Zhu Jingyuan has also been prepared for this for a long time:

"Those blank areas, for the time being, can be regarded as the ownership of the tentative.

"First, the current information in these places is too model, and it still needs to be explored directly by various countries, and it is not appropriate to distribute it directly.

"Second, many places here are not necessarily suitable for survival, especially the large desert in the northern interior, which makes it difficult to maintain large-scale settlements.

"So whoever can survive in those places, establish basic settlements and garrison troops at the same time, it will be anyone's."

Talleyrand was visibly surprised, and a little worried, reconfirmed:

"You mean the competitive mode? Whoever explores it first counts whom? ”

Zhu Jingyuan added and emphasized:

"It's not just about exploring, it's about having basic settlements or garrisons that can maintain effective rule over the area.

"You can't just make a profit from deceptive trade.

"Otherwise, it would be a public trade market, not the direct territory of the countries.

"I believe that there should be a body under the alliance to monitor and inspect the effectiveness of the development of Mozhou.

"Domination can be assessed every five years.

"If the ability to govern is not up to par, the area should be reclassified as public land to be explored, and other countries should be allowed to explore and build."

There was silence.

Zhu Jingyuan's request cannot be said to be unreasonable, if he can't even control the natives, then of course he is not qualified to own those colonies.

The tremendous power of industrialization has made all the countries of Tessie realize that there is a huge gap between themselves and the traditional natives.

Completely dominating the natives of Mozhou is not a problem in itself.

Moreover, Yin Zhou has been divided, and Mozhou is the last land.

If you want to control and keep these lands, you need to make great efforts to build them.

In particular, Lucia, Austria, Italy, Prussia and other countries that had no overseas colonies.

But Zhu Jingyuan's demand, as well as that so-called monitoring organization, will obviously put pressure on all countries.

It's going to turn into a race to build a colony.
