"Oppose...colonialism?" Zheng Guozhong seemed a little confused and frowned, "Isn't this the legacy of King Wu Zhong? Isn't it outdated?"
King Zhuge Wuzhong was of course anti-feudal and anti-colonial... So although the new Ming Empire he established had the word "emperor" in it, it was neither feudal nor colonial.
Although remnants of feudalism definitely exist, and invisible colonization and disguised colonization certainly exist, on the surface, Ming Dynasty is a civilized and progressive country that stands on the moral high ground of the world. Not to mention veteran colonists like the British Empire, even the moral standards of the French Republic, which held high the banner of freedom, equality, and fraternity, could not compare to the Ming Empire.
After all, the French Republic also wanted to inherit the French Kingdom's overseas colonies, and even sent Napoleon to colonize Egypt. And the Ming Empire did not even colonize Japan, which was just around the corner... This moral level is really hard to say.
Of course, the Ming Dynasty also had vassal states and overseas provinces. But that is not a colony. The vassal states all voluntarily joined the Ming Empire. After they joined the Ming Empire, they could be protected by the Ming Dynasty and avoid becoming a colony of the West. Moreover, you can also get Ming Dynasty's capital, technology, talents and advanced culture. There are so many benefits, so it is essentially different from being colonized.
As for overseas provinces, they have been around since ancient times!
The Boni Kingdom on the island of Borneo has been a vassal of the Ming Dynasty since the early Ming Dynasty. During the Wanli Period, the royal line was cut off, and many people in the country were killed. Finally, a queen was established, and she was not canonized by the Ming Dynasty... .In fact, it was a conspiracy to usurp the throne! Therefore, King Wu Zhong sent troops to conquer the rebels. After the battle, the Boni royal line was completely cut off, and no one could inherit it. This was why Boni had to be expelled from the country and changed to the Ming Dynasty Overseas Province. This was justifiable.
The aboriginal people in the Overseas Province of New Manchuria are the descendants of the savage Jurchens who fled to the New World in the early years to escape the war in Northeast China. They once sent people to pay tribute to Nurgan Dusi with polar bear skins and professed their vassalage to ask for a title - the polar bears offered by "Alaska" The skin is still stored in the Imperial Palace in Beijing! This is ironclad evidence from ancient times. Moreover, the wild Jurchens in the New Manchuria Overseas Province did not establish their own independent political power in the far north of the New World. They obviously had their hearts set on the Celestial Empire. Therefore, it is legitimate for the Ming Dynasty to adopt the arctic areas in the northwest of the New World as overseas provinces, and it is definitely not colonialism.
Although the New Manchuria Overseas Province was established, it slowly expanded southward along the coastline of North America, and did not stop until the border of the British Empire's Oregon colony. It also took over the narrow area from the western foot of the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean and coastal islands. But this was not done by the Ming court, but by some of the savage Jurchens in the New World who wanted to find a warm land to live in after learning how to farm and herd. This was a spontaneous migration of the indigenous people. Later, these aboriginals found a large, warm bay and settled there. Later, white colonists also discovered it, so the Ming Empire came forward to negotiate with the British, demarcated the boundary, and called this place, which the savage Jurchens called " The large bay and coastal land of "Wenshui Bay" were allocated to the New Manchuria Overseas Province of the Ming Dynasty... Such behavior is certainly not colonization!
Therefore, when it comes to opposing colonialism, Ming Dynasty itself is very strong!
Moreover, the capitalism of the Ming Dynasty has developed to a relatively high stage. The local population, resources, and area are large enough, so there is no need to build a lot of colonies that are not very efficient like the British - the British Empire does not Colonies are not good. If we don’t do this, there will only be a little bit of the British Empire left. What kind of imperialism would it still be?
Therefore, Ming Dynasty could completely use the banner of anti-colonialism to attack the British Empire!
"Your Majesty," Zhuge Weidao said with a smile and shook his feather fan, "The ancestral motto of King Wuzhong was not to be anti-colonial, but that the Ming Dynasty would not colonize... At that time, I, the Ming Dynasty, only had the power to protect myself and was unable to do both. The world. But now that Ming Dynasty is the world’s most powerful country, of course we should hold high the banner of opposing Western colonization and overthrow the British Empire! This time, the name of our participation in the anti-Turkish alliance is of course to oppose the Turkish Empire’s colonial rule of Greece. Got it!"
After hearing this, Mr. Yu De, his uncle Yu Quan, said with a smile: "Eighteenth Military Advisor, don't forget that the Rakshasa Kingdom also engages in colonization like the British Empire and the Turkish Empire. If we want to oppose colonization, Wouldn’t that mean that the Rakshasa also rebelled?”
"Old Master Yu," Zhuge Weidao replied with a smile, "can what Rakshasa did be considered colonization?"
"What? Rakshasa didn't colonize? Then what do they call it in Siberia?"
Zhuge Weidao said: "That's called... grabbing territory! It's grabbing, not colonizing, it's different.
Moreover, the Siberian Khanate is the son and grandson state of the Golden Horde. Thinking back when the ancestors of the Golden Horde conquered the Rakshasa Kingdoms, they mixed the Rakshasa Kingdoms and the Golden Horde into one.
Now that the Rakshasa has become more developed, they are going to grab the Mongolian territory again...it's just a group of bandits robbing each other.
Moreover, when King Wu Zhong was alive, the Mongols of the Siberian Khanate did not come to ask for help from our Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the ancestor King Wu Zhong divided the land of Eastern Siberia with the Rakshasa people and recognized the Rakshasa people's annexation of the Siberian Khanate. "
In fact, in the eyes of the Mongolian nobles at that time, including the Mongolian nobles of the Siberian Khanate, King Zhuge Wuzhong was much more cruel than the Tsar... The Tsar still allowed them to ride on the heads of ordinary herders and dominate, but the Ming Dynasty did not allow that. Dry!
"What does Rakshasa's occupation of Poland, Finland, Courland, and Lithuania mean?" Mr. Yu asked again. This old man was quite serious. But it wasn't a question, it was a question with a smile on his face.
Since the old man asked sincerely, Zhuge Weidao of course had to answer patiently. He said: "The relationship between those territories and the Rakshasa Empire is the common-owner federation, and the Poles, Kurlanders, Lithuanians, Finns and Rakshasa Empire They are all white-skinned and believe in one God. And didn’t the Poles also serve as czars in the early years?
If you look up the genealogy of the nobles of the Rakshasa Kingdom, at least half of them went to Rakshasa from places like Poland, Courland, Lithuania, and Finland.
It is also in line with European practice for the Rakshasa Tsar to concurrently serve as the king and grand duke of those places. In the future, Rakshasa and Great Britain may share the same monarch. Is this Alexander colonizing Victoria, or Victoria colonizing Alexander? "
Zhuge Weijiu was amused by these words. He laughed and took over the topic: "That's the truth! In my opinion, Turkey's occupation of the Balkan Peninsula is undoubtedly colonial rule!
The residents of the Balkan Peninsula are neither Turks nor Tianfang believers. Therefore, the Turkish Empire's conquest and rule of them and the British Empire's conquest and rule of India were completely the same nature!
Since Greece is to be liberated, then Serbia, Bulgaria, Wallachia, Moldavia and Constantinople should all be liberated! "
Zheng Guozhong, Mr. Yu, Lin Zexu, and Zheng Guoxian who were present all took a breath when they heard this. Well, this is going to tear down the Turkish Empire!
Lin Zexu stroked his beard and said: "This is going to destroy Turkey! Rakshasa is actually happy...Austria may also agree, and they can also share some benefits. Prussia has nothing to do with itself, so it should not express its position easily. . But Britain and France will definitely not agree.
The two countries have either occupied many colonies or are coveting territory in Africa. Moreover, they have always regarded the Mediterranean as their own backyard pond, and would not agree to dismantle Turkey and let the Rakshasa go south. "
Zhuge Weijiu stroked his white beard and smiled and said: "This is the effect we want! Otherwise, why would I go all the way to Europe when I am already very old? I just want to muddy the waters of the Balkans and the Mediterranean. .... Let Rakshasa and Austria oppose Britain. If possible, I would also like to reach some secret agreement with France. After all, in Europe at the moment, the only one that can compete with the British Empire, besides Rakshasa, is France."
Of course Zheng Guozhong knew that Zhuge Weijiu had a good relationship with the French Queen Mother and Louis XVII, but good relationships cannot replace national interests! So he asked Zhuge Weijiu: "Great Military Advisor, what benefits can we give to the French?"
"Yes!" Zhuge Weijiu said with a smile, "We have stocks in the Suez Canal and large tracts of land in the Rhineland... These can all be transferred to the French royal family!"
