Chapter 233 Is This the Habitual Strategy of the British?
Zhu Jingyuan wants Long Island, New York, which is to eat land in the real core area.
If the United States were an independent country, the requirements would be similar to those of the British directly asking for Tianjin.
It is worse than directly asking for Chongming Island, because Changdao is larger than Chongming Island, and the mainland is much closer than Chongming Island.
New York's two boroughs, Brooklyn and Queens, are located directly on Long Island, not the sandbars that float outside on Chongming Island.
It is certainly impossible to achieve under normal circumstances.
Even if the United States is not independent, but as a complete British colony, it is absolutely impossible to give Long Island to the Ming Dynasty.
Unless the Ming is willing to exchange Chongming Island or Zhoushan Islands.
So when British Prime Minister William Pitt saw this request, he almost jumped up on the spot and shouted "impossible".
But when the words came to his lips, Pete forcibly controlled his emotions.
"According to the proposal of the Ming Dynasty, the northern part of the United States, including the whole of New York, should be assigned to French Canada.
"In other words, the actual result is to divide an island next to the core city of France, which belongs to the Ming Dynasty.
"If you look at it that way, it's in the interests of the United Kingdom.
"It's just...... Why does this seem so like the habitual tactics of our British?"
Pete thought so in his heart, and the person had completely calmed down and directly recognized Daming's request for Long Island.
Then start thinking about the requirements for another part:
"As for the Chesapeake......
"It would be desirable for the United States to retain the southernmost part of the peninsula, the counties of Acacmac and Northampton, which originally belonged to Virginia, so that the United Kingdom would be able to control the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay.
"But that's absolutely impossible, Da Ming wants this peninsula, and it is probably this sharp horn that he cares about the most.
"If I were the representative of the Great Ming, it would be absolutely impossible for me to give up this sharp corner.
"But from the standpoint of the United Kingdom, even if this peninsula is not given to the Ming Dynasty, it will be handed over to the French in its entirety.
"It is also impossible for the French to accept that there is a large amount of French territory in the interior of the bay, and the entrance to the bay is completely controlled by the British.
"The United Kingdom is separated from the French by the sea, and the Ming across the sea, and the latter seems to be more acceptable.

response.
The Ming gave a different version to France and England.
The British said that the Long Island and the Chesapeake Peninsula were to be given to the Ming in the areas that should have been given to France.
The statement given to France is to adjust the territorial exchange plan, and the above two places will no longer be handed over to France, but to the Ming Dynasty.
Although the essence is the same, it feels different to say.
After Talielang saw Zhu Jingyuan's reply, his expression suddenly became tangled, and he said with a few suspicions:
"Do you think this plan to hand over Long Island and the Chesapeake Peninsula to Daming was proposed by the British to Daming in private?
"Long Island is so important to New York, if this land is given to Daming, the distance between us and Daming in the future will ...... There is less than a kilometer left!
"The same is true of the Chesapeake Peninsula, where the north and south sides belong to us, France, and the peninsula in the middle belongs to the Ming Dynasty.
"Of the land transferred from the British, the most important coastlines are in front of the eyes of the Ming Dynasty."
The Duke of Richelieu looked at the contents of the telegram and couldn't help frowning:
"It is indeed very much like the handiwork of the British, and it is the habit of the British to create contradictions for the receiving party when transferring the land.
"According to the previous plan, the north of Virginia was transferred to us, and of course it was supposed to include these lands.
"If we can, of course we don't want to leave two extremely important strongholds for Daming at our doorstep.
"But these lands were transferred by the British, and we don't really have much choice.
"This deal is actually very beneficial for us.
"Replacing inland land with coastal land makes the territory less narrow and easier to manage.
"Make our coastline warmer......
The Duke of Richelieu had an obvious meaning and was inclined to accept the proposal of the Ming Dynasty.
While the Cabinet was discussing, Talleyrand's secretary sent a new telegram:
"News ...... the British"
Talleyrand immediately took it, and after reading it, he sighed directly, and handed the telegram to the Duke of Richelieu:
"There is no point in our discussions, and the British have responded very clearly that they will leave these places directly to the Ming and will not go through the hands of our French.
"Even if this proposal is not put forward by the British, it is completely in line with the habits and thinking of the British.
"It's very beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, it's uncomfortable for us French, and it doesn't matter to the British, so the British will definitely accept it." ….
The Duke of Richelieu read the telegram and handed it to the others:
"We don't have a choice, so let's decide, let Daming's troops control the situation as soon as possible."
Britain and France each formally replied to Zhu Jingyuan, saying that they could accept Zhu Jingyuan's request, and hoped that the Ming Dynasty could order the troops to begin to assist in the deployment as soon as possible, and the agreement could be supplemented later.
The replies of Britain and France, as well as the conditions negotiated by the two sides, were sent to Zhu Jingyuan at the same time, and they were also summarized at the headquarters of the Daming Jingshi and the League of Nations.
Diplomats from both sides met at two locations to draw up a formal agreement on "borrowing mentors to help suppress the crackdown."
Zhu Jingyuan nodded with a smile after reading it, feeling that this matter was almost delayed, and immediately wrote a simple report to Jingshi.
It was suggested that the Governor's Office, while assisting in the defense of the United States, try to take the initiative to seize the land delivered to the Ming Dynasty under the agreement.
Including land on the east bank of the River Honey, land in Michigan.
Try to land on Long Island on your own initiative, try to launch an offensive on the Chesapeake.
Only when you get it directly into your own hands can you really be sure that it belongs to you, and it is possible to avoid any rip-offs.
It is also suggested that you can try to recruit locals in the process.
Tell the local Tessie people that these lands will belong to the Ming Dynasty in the future, and both the British and French agreed.
If they were willing to stay in the local area, they could obtain the vassal state established by the Ming Dynasty in the region
Citizenship.
They can continue to live locally under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty and can even keep the assets they are currently using.
The reason, of course, is that there is a shortage of local immigrants in the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, there are hundreds of thousands of Tessians on Long Island and the Chesapeake Peninsula.
These two places were also intended to be used to house the Tessians.
Therefore, Zhu Jingyuan suggested that for the time being, try to rely on the Taixi people to rule the Taixi people.
First of all, a relatively higher level of treatment is given, that is, a level higher than the right of abode.
Stabilize and control the local situation as soon as possible, and then gradually move the Ming people to take over.
With the cooperation of Xichang, it should be possible to find enough people who are willing to cooperate with Daming to control the local situation.
Zhu Jingyuan's suggestion was directly submitted to the Ming Emperor Zhu Jianyan.
After reading it, Zhu Jianyan accepted it directly without much hesitation.
The operation that Zhu Jing is mentioning now is the plan that Da Ming often used in the past.
Zhu Jingyuan's previous demands, the plan of asking for land and not people, are quite outrageous.
There are low-status aliens in the local area, which is actually a condition for attracting Ming immigrants.
The people of the Ming Dynasty can go over and be directly masters, which is much more interesting than going to a no-man's land to open up wasteland.
