It is now August 11, 1792 A.D.

The British Empire is now not in full swing, but it can also be called the hegemon of the world on which the sun never sets.

Its territories range from North America to Australia, India, and Africa, and every minute, the British Empire has territories bathed in the sun.

However, for George III, the ruler of this super-empire.

To make up your mind to go against the Ming Empire is indeed not easy to make a decision.

Half a year ago, news came that the Qing Empire had been defeated by the Ming Dynasty, that Zhu Daohua's Ming Dynasty had obtained a province of Guangdong, and that the performance of his army on the battlefield was appalling.

The Qing Empire's armies were defeated with little ability to resist, and Zhu Daohua had already secured a province with a population of 18 million, and according to intelligence from southern China, Zhu Daohua would easily be able to obtain other southern provinces after obtaining this province - provided that he could continue to defeat the Qing army.

According to the analysis of Chinese experts in the UK.

Chinese tradition is like this, not to mention that Zhu Daohua is still the orthodox successor of the Ming Empire, he has the noble blood of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Empire, who expelled the Mongol Empire (Europeans really think that Zhu Baba's blood is quite noble), even if he is a civilian, as long as he can lead the army to defeat the Qing Empire, he can get China's "legal unity".

So the only obstacle to Zhu Daohua's rule over southern China, and indeed all of China, was whether his army could defeat the Qing Empire.

As long as he can prove the strength of his army, then the scholars and doctors in southern China will choose to be loyal to him.

Zhu Daohua got the news that it was almost a year ago in Guangdong—he got the news half a year ago that it would take at least half a year to sail from China to Europe.

It's impossible to say what Zhu Daohua got this year.

Macartney, who had returned from Guangzhou a few days earlier, had brought news that the Ming Empire's army was about to achieve a decisive victory in southern China, and that the whole of southern China was likely to have fallen into Zhu Daohua's hands.

How many people are there in the whole of southern China?

According to conservative estimates, it may have reached 200 million!

That's more than all of Europe combined.

In other words, once Zhu Daohua integrated the forces of southern China, then Britain would not have many chances.

George III would not be so arrogant as to think that his country could threaten a country with a population of 200 million miles away and most likely the most advanced steam engine, the most advanced navy, the most advanced artillery in the world.

Such a country is unconquerable, and even Britain itself has to worry about the safety of its Australian colonies and Indian colonies.

For Europeans.

Perhaps the only good news now is that China is not showing the same fanatical desire for expansion as European countries.

What a blessing.

The moral system of the Chinese does not support their strong expansion towards the outside world.

From this point of view.

Chinese sages like Confucius and Lao Tzu were really good people.

Under their education, the Chinese appear to be more moral and restrained in the use of force than the Europeans.

No wonder a group of European philosophers yearn for China so much.

Cambridge University should erect a statue of Confucius...

George III thought to himself.

Who would have thought that a doctor and scientist like Zhu Daohua would be able to set off such a storm?

At the beginning, George III was even looking forward to Zhu Daohua's return to China.

In his opinion.

When Zhu Daohua returns to China, at most, he will be able to clear the empire's chaos for a while.

But he didn't expect that the army of the Qing Empire would be so... Vulnerable.

Regret it!

George III sighed.

It's useless to regret it now.

The rise of the Ming Empire was too fast.

Now their military power is still shrinking at home, but the power of trade and economy has begun to shake Britain.

He turned his head to look at William Pitt.

"My Prime Minister, what is the Cabinet's view on China's policy? The debate in the parliament is not over yet. ”

"Your Majesty, most of the cabinet believes that the problems caused by the impact of the cotton cloth of the Ming Empire must be solved as soon as possible, and we may not have much time..."

William. Pete said.

George III nodded slightly, motioning for his prime minister to continue.

"Half a year ago, the army of the Ming Empire was about to achieve a decisive victory in southern China, and the army of the Qing Empire simply could not confront Zhu Daohua's army on the battlefield. Perhaps now Zhu Daohua has gained control of southern China. ”

William. Petra lifted a curtain in the conference room, and behind the curtain was a huge map of China.

In the map, the whole of China is divided into China proper, Manchuria, Tibet, Inner and Outer Mongolia, and the Western Regions.

"On the whole, there are two large rivers running through China itself, and the net runoff of the Yellow River in the north is very small, which is not enough as a military defense line, and the Qing Empire with Mongolia has a very big advantage in cavalry, so several of our Chinese experts judge that in the short term, the Qing Empire will also have northern China, but southern China, with a dense water network, is not suitable for cavalry to fight, and Zhu Daohua's army will soon get the area south of the main channel of the Yangtze River!"

William. Pete said.

"And this region is currently the most economically developed and densely populated place in China, once Zhu Daohua integrates the forces of the whole of southern China, maybe it will be difficult for the forces of the whole of Europe to unite against him."

"Wait, you're talking about... Once he integrates? George III was thoughtful.

"That's right, Zhu Daohua can't complete the integration of southern China in a short period of time, he needs time."

"How long will it take?"

"I don't know, maybe a year, maybe two years..." William, said Pete, "in short, his main energy will stay in domestic affairs in the next year or two, and the power of the Chinese will also stay east of the Strait of Malacca in the next year or two." ”

"A year, or two years—" George III looked solemn.

He knows what he means as prime minister.

If you want to threaten the Ming Empire with force, or even completely wipe out the cotton textile industry of the Ming Empire, the window period may be this one or two years.

When the Ming Empire became a huge empire with a population of 200 million.

Did Britain still dare to provoke the country at that time?

"Your Majesty, we must make a decision as soon as possible." William. "The goods of the Ming Empire have seriously affected our industry, especially the cotton textile industry. ”

"And in addition to China's traditional export commodities porcelain, silk, and tea, the Ming Empire now has some more extremely competitive products, not to mention cotton, but also sugar, medicine, and even steel!"

"Our trade deficit with China has shown a rapid upward trend, and the outflow of a large number of silver, gold and precious metals has led to an increasingly serious price rise in the domestic market, rising raw material prices, and unemployment caused by the closure of a large number of factories!"

William. Pete said with a solemn face.

"We must immediately close China's access to the Indian market, raise tariff barriers, and even legislate to ban the import of Chinese goods!"

"But we only have about a third of India, and India's densely populated north is the biggest market, but that's the territory of the Mughal Empire and the Maratha Empire." Nelson, who was on the side, interjected.

"So, we may need a war." William. Pete said, "A war to drive the Chinese out of the Indian Ocean!" ”

William. Pete said, looking at George III.

On the position of the war against the Ming.

William. Although Pitt was the leader of the Tories, he sided with the Whigs on this issue.

Because he knew very well that if there were a large number of factories in Britain that closed down, there would be a large number of unemployed workers.

What is happening in France now, will be played out in England.

Until that time.

It wasn't just the big Whig businessmen who suffered.

The big landlords and aristocrats of the Tories may be more exposed to the wrath of the mob.

At that time, neither the Whigs nor the Tories will have a good time.

"War—" George III hesitated.

The British are not afraid of war.

But if the current opponent is such a huge country as the Eastern Ming Empire...

Can Britain beat it?

His eyes were on Nelson, and he was about to ask.

Bang dang.

The door slammed open.

The chamberlain of Windsor Castle hurried in, his face frightened.

George III frowned.

"Why are you so flustered? Has China's Ambassador Lin arrived? ”

George III had not yet made up his mind to go to war, and another reason was that he hoped to diplomatically force the Ming Empire to accept the terms of British tariffs.

Raising tariffs on Ming Empire goods would restore the competitiveness of British goods in the Indian market.

In this way, a war that even the British found a little frightened was averted.

"No, Your Majesty, Ambassador Lin hasn't arrived yet, it's France, news from Paris!"

The attendant looked terrified.

"King Louis XVI of France was arrested yesterday, on the 10th of August, the mob of the Paris Commune stormed the royal palace and arrested the king, and the French National Assembly announced that it would soon announce the deposition of the king, and the formation of... A republic was formed! ”

"What?!"

The three people present almost jumped in shock.

The French are crazy?!

Depose the king and form a republic!

These words made George III's heart tremble.

France is a big European country, and at the same time its influence on European countries is too deep culturally.

France's National Assembly even threatened to support anti-monarchist activities in other European countries.

If France becomes a monarchless republic.

This trend of thought will certainly have a profound impact on other European countries.

This is also a situation that George III will never allow to see.

If the British also learn what the French mob is going to do to form a republic.

So how did the British royal family and the great nobles deal with themselves?

George III sat down slowly.

I have already begun to make up my mind.

"Perhaps, we will have two wars that we have to fight!"

George III looked at Nelson.

"General, do you think that our navy can compete with the navy of the Ming Empire, at least to the point where they can submit and accept my tariff demands?"

After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly got up from the bed. If you want to watch the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, and his chest trembled.

Confused, incomprehensible, all kinds of emotions come to my heart.

Where is this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around, and then became even more dazed.

A single dormitory?

Even if he had managed to be rescued, he would have been in the ward by now.

And their own bodies...... How could it be that there was no injury at all.

With doubts, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept from the room, and finally his gaze stayed on a mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance was very handsome.

But the problem is, it's not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters ad-free and free

The previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.

And now, no matter how you look at it, this appearance is only the age of a high school student......

This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Don't tell him that the operation was a success......

The body and face have changed, and this is not a question of surgery or not surgery at all, but immortal magic.

He's a different guy altogether!

Don't...... Did you cross by yourself?

In addition to the mirror at the head of the bed, which was obviously not good in feng shui, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.

Shi Yu picked it up and looked at it, and the title of the book instantly silenced him.

"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Novice Breeders"

Postpartum Care for Pet Animals

"Alien Beast Ear Girl Evaluation Guide"

Shi Yu: ???

The names of the first two books are quite normal, but what are you doing with the last one?

"Ahem."

Shi Yu's eyes were solemn and he stretched out his hand, but his arm quickly stiffened.

Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain stabbed violently, and a flood of memories flooded back.

Icefield City.
