"What? They were already preparing to occupy the Suez Canal before it was even dug?"
Emperor William was really taken aback. He looked at the little fat man in front of him with a little doubt, who was wearing a long robe and a mandarin jacket, a melon cap on his head, and a braid on the back of his head. He looked a little ridiculous - if it weren't for them The Pingxi King Wu Zhenzhen descended from the sky in Peshawar and captured the British commander Elphinstone alive. Later, he used the Bagua machine gun array to defeat Hugh Gough's army in Peshawar. Emperor William was able to kill this chubby man with a small The man with the pigtails thought he was a Chinese clown... But now, he didn't dare to take the words of this fat man who spoke curry-flavored English seriously.
Little Fatty Xianfeng nodded heavily, "Yes, yes, otherwise why would Zhuge Youde be so enthusiastic about promoting the Suez Canal project? Why would he and Zhuge Weijiu bet heavily on Ali Pasha? Why would they, the Ming Dynasty, bet on Napoleon? Breaking the convention of non-interference in Western affairs during the war, sending troops to Europe, supporting Rakshasa and opposing Emperor Napoleon?"
Heshen and Lao Zhongtang, who accompanied little fat Xianfeng to Bombay on the Jin Kingdom's airship, stroked their white beards and said, "Your Majesty, don't you think they will really fight with Emperor Napoleon and Alexander for the sake of justice?" What did I say about the Yellow Peril? Just send troops all the way to Europe, right?"
Ever since Europe was ravaged by the Mongols, there has been a saying of the "Yellow Peril". However, after the Rakshasa defeated the Golden Horde, the voice of the Yellow Peril was not heard much. But when the Ming Dynasty led the Industrial Revolution and began to compete for colonies with the United Kingdom, Spain, the Netherlands, and Portugal in Southeast Asia, and after conflicts with the Rakshasa people in Eastern Siberia, the Yellow Peril theory began to appear again in the Rakshasa, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal. .
However, France has not been affected by this kind of remarks for a long time, and is still a lover of Ming Dynasty products and culture. In particular, Louis XIV, Louis XV, and Louis XVI were all "old friends" of the Ming Empire. Due to their influence and the subsequent reconciliation between Rakshasa and the Ming Dynasty, Britain, the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal also reached a compromise with the Ming Dynasty in Nanyang, and the Yellow Peril theory disappeared for a while.
But when steam sailing ships, breech-loaded cannons, and miniguns began to be "invented" by the Ming Dynasty, the West began to be afraid again - afraid that the Ming Dynasty would suddenly go crazy and attack.
So the theory of the Yellow Peril began to become popular in Western Europe again, but France remained pro-Ming Dynasty until Napoleon became emperor... Of course, Napoleon was not really so "anti-Ming". He just wanted to use this theory of the Yellow Peril to deceive the Czar. Anti-brightness.
However, the relationship between Rakshasa and Ming Dynasty has been well maintained because of the existence of the Jin Kingdom and the "Siberian Waste Policy." Even if Alexander I wanted to fight the Ming Dynasty, his army would not be able to pass by unless it destroyed the neutrality of the Ming Dynasty. But there are also bad roads in Dajin, and it is also very difficult to use Dajin to defeat Ming Dynasty.
Moreover... Alexander I's cheap ancestor Peter the Great has left his ancestral motto - don't mess with the Ming Dynasty, because they are really a yellow peril!
Therefore, Alexander I did not dare to fall out with the Ming Dynasty in the end, but chose to become the enemy of Emperor Napoleon.
Now when Heshen mentioned the "yellow peril theory", Emperor William, who wholeheartedly agreed with this argument back then, snorted loudly: "Emperor Napoleon is right about this! The Ming Dynasty is the Yellow Peril. They are the same as the Mongols hundreds of years ago. , are all a nightmare for the Western world! Alexander I should have listened to him back then and used all his strength to defend against the Ming Dynasty in the East instead of becoming an enemy of Emperor Napoleon!"
Little Fatty Xianfeng felt a little unhappy when Emperor William cursed "Yellow Peril" in front of him. After all, he also fell into the category of "Yellow Peril". And based on his understanding of the white-skinned people, if the "Yellow Peril" of Ming Dynasty was not powerful enough, this crime alone would be enough to make Eastern countries such as Ming Dynasty, Jin Dynasty, Japan, North Korea, and Annan become international doormats. Maybe it will be turned into a colony by you white-skinned people, and then it will not be very satisfying to be the "Emperor Xianfeng".
However, he still did not forget the mission given to him by his Ama Daoguang, so he sneered and said in curry-flavored English: "Your Majesty the Emperor, you are right, the Ming Dynasty is the Yellow Peril... The real Yellow Peril is worse than The Mongols back then were even more powerful
! The Mongols are only powerful in their army, while the Ming Dynasty is powerful in both land and sea...it's a yellow disaster multiplied by two! No, multiply it by a hundred! "
"A hundred rides?" Emperor William asked quickly, "Why so many rides?"
"Because there are many people in the Ming Dynasty!" Little Fatty Xianfeng said, "The Ming Dynasty plus her vassal states, plus Japan, which has united with the Ming Dynasty, has a total population of 400 million. And Mongolia at that time did not necessarily have 4 million people. So the Ming Dynasty The Yellow Peril is not only real, but also a hundred times stronger!”
This is probably what they (the West) mean when they say you are a yellow peril, so you better really be one, and the more powerful the better!
Emperor William's face turned livid.
Little Fatty Xianfeng suppressed his gloating, and then added: "And they have many friends in the West! The Romanov dynasty of Rakshasa, the Bourbon dynasty of France, and the Ali Sultan (Ali Pasha) of Arabia are all theirs friend.
Therefore, once the Ming Navy controls the Suez Canal, Ali Sultan, the Romanov Dynasty and the Bourbon Dynasty will quickly side with the Ming Dynasty! "
It is true that the Ming Dynasty has been "cowarded" for hundreds of years, but the advisers of the Zhuge family did not know that they were cowarded without doing anything. In the past hundred years, they have been making friends and investing!
Thanks to their efforts to make friends, the Bourbon dynasty of France, the Romanov dynasty of Rakshasa, and Ali Pasha of Egypt were all won over by the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty also arranged the future of the Western Rome, the Eastern Rome, and the Arab Empire for the three countries... Compared with the future that the British could offer, the Ming Dynasty's bid was much higher. This is because Ming's own base is large enough, so it can tolerate other powers having higher ceilings. However, Great Britain's own territory was limited to this. She couldn't stand the emergence of a slightly larger overlord on the European continent, and all kinds of suppression and troubles were immediately arranged.
He Shen sighed and said leisurely: "At that time, the fast battleships and aircraft carriers of the Ming Empire can even enter the Atlantic Ocean through the Mediterranean Sea and sail all the way to the English Channel to bomb London!"
"What? They're going to bomb London?"
Hearing this, Emperor William's breathing quickened!
There is no emperor in London who can stand on a carriage and shoot at the Ming Dynasty's biplane - we can't expect Princess Victoria to do such a thing. She is only an 11-year-old girl, not very smart yet, and spends her days studying math. Compete with questions, English words, French words, German words, and Rakshasa words!
He Shen added: "Your Majesty the Emperor, you should have heard that Zhuge Weijiu has been secretly contacting European Jewish wealthy families such as Rothschild, Schiff, Loeb, etc., trying to persuade them to transfer funds from London to Paris! What if? London was bombed..."
"No, I won't let this happen!" Emperor William said calmly.
He already knew exactly what he had to do, because he could not bear the risk of losing the Suez Canal and London being bombed.
Once London was bombed and he, the king, was away from the country, at the same time, international capital was withdrawn from the UK, causing the UK's stock and bond markets to collapse. Then the Parliament of the United Kingdom may depose him and choose a king who can lead the British resistance to the Ming Dynasty at home.
And losing the throne of the United Kingdom means losing the loyalty of the British officers and soldiers wearing Asan's coat... Then his Indian emperor will become a puppet of the United Kingdom!
Therefore, Emperor William must not let Ming control the Suez Canal!
