The news of the fall of the Ottomans was like a wind, blowing across Europe as Mustafa IV entered Italy.
The French, British and Prussian troops who had regrouped received the news and reached a tacit ceasefire.
Alexander I and his army, who had just arrived in the Polish Corridor, camped on the spot and waited for further news.
The Qing Dynasty wiped out the Ottoman Empire in five days, which was still too shocking for old Europe.
The one who got the news the fastest was Italy. Soon new news came, causing all countries to look towards the Ming Dynasty in the east, intentionally or unintentionally.
From an intelligence point of view, the Qing Dynasty is equipped with a new type of firearm with an effective range of 300 meters and a maximum range of 800 meters.
There was no smoke when the gun was fired. The soldiers who were shot in the chest could not be saved even by Jesus, and those whose limbs were shot had to be amputated.
Smokeless gunpowder!
Countries immediately thought of the Ming Dynasty. Currently, only the Ming Dynasty can mass-produce smokeless gunpowder on a large scale.
"Damn it, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is funding the Qing Dynasty! Don't they have a feud?"
Napoleon smashed Jingdezhen blue and white porcelain on the ground at the Louvre, making the officers around him tremble.
If there is a metaphor for the relationship between France, the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are childhood sweethearts who often fight, while France is a gentle descendant from heaven.
Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Falling system was defeated.
Not only was the Qing Dynasty the first to obtain the needle gun, but the march route was obviously heading towards Europe. There was only Italy between France and the Qing Dynasty.
Napoleon had no doubt that Italy, which had just betrayed France, would kick out the anti-French alliance and defect to the Qing Dynasty!
And this is also true. On Christmas Day, Santa Claus made a joke to European countries.
Italy really surrendered to the Qing Dynasty!
In just 39 days, Italy surrendered twice!
Now Italy is actually the first vassal state of the Qing Dynasty!
Along the Mediterranean coast, new nursery rhymes were even sung, praising the return of Rome in the new era like lightning, and Aisin Gioro from the East reshaping the glory of Rome in Constantinople.
Aixinjueluo is also Luo!
Roman orthodoxy was in the Qing Dynasty!
Europeans did not know whether all these changes were good or bad. They only knew that the Italian troops who had paid for France withdrew and returned to Italy to accept the reorganization of the Qing Dynasty.
The pressure on France dropped sharply, and the French troops on the eastern front were transferred north to confront the anti-French alliance in the Luxembourg area.
Europe was once again trapped in endless trench warfare.
At the end of this chaotic year, Zhu Zaiming, the loving father of the East, sent diplomatic notes to European countries through the Qing Dynasty.
The documents written by the officials of the Ministry of Rites are very formal. If we use the vernacular of Lao Zhu's family, the painting style is like this:
So many people have died, so you should stop fighting. I think there is no point in fighting. For the sake of world peace, come to the Palace of Versailles to talk. I will set the tone for you!
If at this point in time, it was the original Qing Dynasty that ruled the East, European countries would definitely laugh it off and ignore it.
The grumpy British would even sail the fleet into the Bohai Sea, but he didn't know if Jiaqing would hunt west.
However, a small change occurred in this world.
The Ming Dynasty took back its destiny. Its huge territory made Tsarist Russia ashamed, and the Pacific Ocean even became the Ming Dynasty's back garden.
Once your fist is strong, your words will work.
Faced with Ming's diplomatic note, various countries wisely began to withdraw their troops.
In fact, except for the British Empire, no country in Europe wanted to fight.
The shattered Holy Roman Empire became the cake on the table. No matter how Francis II visited relatives, it was impossible to rebuild the Holy Roman Empire.
When countries take things from Franz, a relative, there is no psychological burden at all.
What's more, the Roman orthodoxy now lies in the Qing Dynasty, and in the Qing Luo Dynasty, not the HRE.
The British Empire still wanted to fight because the southern part of the island of Great Britain was still in French hands.
The enemy squats at the door of the house every day, which makes anyone feel uncomfortable.
But there was no way, Prime Minister William went to Paris with George III's bottom line.
The envoys sent by various countries to Paris finally entered the Ming Palace of Versailles, where they would negotiate peace.
Zhu Zaiming's instructions were transmitted via radio to the 3rd Aral Sea Cavalry Division and then to Xiping, where there was a radio station that Zhu Zaiming gave to Jiaqing as a dedicated line for the Ming and Qing emperors.
The division plan proposed by the Ming Dynasty was sent to the Palace of Versailles. After seeing it, some countries were happy and some were sad.
In Zhu Zaiming's "suggestions".
Tsarist Russia withdrew its troops from Poland and returned Polish territory, retaining only the right of harmless passage in the Polish Corridor.
France will completely withdraw its troops and return all the territory it occupied in Europe. Of course, this part of the territory will not be returned unconditionally. Countries will have to pay high compensation.
Although France has not changed territorially, it is the biggest winner.
Because Zhu Zaiming designated Prussia to pay an indemnity of 320 million Ming silver coins to France, which would be paid off in 30 years, with a total principal and interest of 960 million.
It can be said that France can live a good life in bed for the next 30 years.
Although the British Empire regained land in the southern part of the island of Great Britain, the trauma of the war greatly reduced its industrial capacity.
When the French withdrew their troops, they dismantled the machines in various factories and burned those that could not be dismantled.
What the British Empire got was ruins, and the process of industrialization was abruptly pressed on the pause button.
Prussia, on the other hand, obtained the territory of the original HRE Empire, plus the entire Netherlands, and its territory was directly expanded several times.
But it also accepted the heavy burden of paying high indemnities to France, making these territories a hot potato.
The key is that Ming's attitude was extremely tough, and Prussia had to take it.
When European countries signed a treaty at the Palace of Versailles - the "Treaty of Versailles", witnessed by officials from the Ming Dynasty.
The treaty defined the territories of each country and allowed them to enter a brief period of peace.
Of course, although the Ming Dynasty was the new world hegemon, it did not forget to learn from the fine traditions of the British Empire and laid a warning for Europe.
The Prussian mission brought the Treaty of Versailles back to the country. The people were pleasantly surprised by the expansion of territory, and at the same time looked at the huge figure of reparations in horror.
Not long after, the political situation in Prussia was turbulent, and fierce disputes broke out between radicals and conservatives.
This turmoil even spread to the Prussian royal family, and Frederick's family was killed by radical killers during the turmoil.
The military generals headed by Blücher, Gneisenau and Scharnhorst supported a young man named M. Richthofen to come to power.
Integrated the entire German region, changed the Kingdom of Prussia into the First German Empire, and embarked on the path of militarism.
Because from the moment the Treaty of Versailles was signed, the entire German First Empire, with less than 9 million citizens, had to bear the indemnity of 960 million Ming silver coins in the next 30 years.
This is equivalent to 100 silver coins for each German. At the current per capita salary in Europe, this amount would take a lifetime of work to repay!
Everyone knows that it is not over yet.
However, other European countries were still very satisfied with the Treaty of Versailles.
Great Britain regained the island of Great Britain, Tsarist Russia had nothing to do in the north, Italy fell into the arms of the Qing Dynasty, and Spain was still the transparent person...
Only the wounded world of the First German Reich was achieved.
