Zhu Heji's words were translated into Latin by Nalan Xingde, which made Sir Child dumbfounded!
How can there be such shameless people in the world? No, this is a shameless country! You have sent troops and given weapons, but you still remain neutral!
Not only that, you also want to attack the Philippines, a colony owned by the Spanish Empire for more than a hundred years, and you also use the massacre that happened decades ago as an excuse to not allow Western civilized countries to interfere. Isn't this too shameless and overbearing?
"Your Majesty the Emperor, I think you still don't understand the international legal system..." Sir Child also wanted to explain to Zhu Heji what public international law is and what sovereign equality is.
But Zhu Heji had no time to talk nonsense with him, and interrupted him directly in Chinese: "I know your Westphalian system and the public law of all nations, and I also agree with its contents. But... The Ming Dynasty is an exception! The Ming Dynasty is a privileged dynasty and is exempt from the public laws of all nations! This public law of all nations is bound to you Westerners, but my Ming Dynasty is not bound."
At this point, Zhu Heji's tone has become serious, "You don't think that small England can be the enemy of China, do you? Once China is angry, although England can avoid disaster with its remoteness, but with the power of China's military, it can still Are you afraid that your England and your East India Company will be defeated by Tianzhu? Don’t say you didn’t predict what you said!”
After Zhu Heji finished speaking, the great translator Nalan Xingde began to translate: "The great emperor knows your public laws of all nations, but these are public laws that you must abide by, not the public laws that our great dynasty will abide by tomorrow. Because The Great Ming Dynasty is invincible in the world and is of course an exception to the public laws of all nations."
exception? Any exceptions? Child was stunned again and again, "How could you do this? Are you going to fight against the civilized world?"
Nalan Xingde snorted and said: "The only country in the world that dares to fight against the Great Ming Dynasty now is you, England!
The great emperor also said that if little England dares to become an enemy of China, China will not be able to reach your homeland for the time being. But it is still possible to let your English army suffer a disastrous defeat at Tianzhu and let your East India Company suffer losses until it goes bankrupt... If you are not afraid of bankruptcy, then just wait and see! "
These are not harsh words, but real words!
The Ming Dynasty is so powerful that it may be difficult to kill the distant country of England, but it is quite easy to bring about the collapse of the British East India Company. As long as trade sanctions and privateering are imposed on the British East India Company, how much capital can the British East India Company lose?
And this British East India Company is a privately held company!
When Child heard Nalan Xingde's words, cold sweat broke out on his forehead! Most of the shareholders of the British East India Company were either rich or noble, and there were a lot of powerful lords... If the company went bankrupt in his hands, he would have to stop living and find someone to live with. Let’s end our remaining lives in this place!
"Yes, but the Ming army will inevitably encounter the coalition forces in Tianzhu. When the time comes, the cannons and flintlocks of the Eight-Nation Alliance will not matter who is the Ming soldier..." Child's tone has softened. But he still tried to speak harshly.
Zhu Heji laughed loudly: "What is the Eight-Nation Alliance? It should be your Six Western Nations Alliance plus the Mongolian-Rakshasa Alliance Army, right? Kangxi Khan's Mongolian soldiers numbered 200,000, and your Six Western Nations only had tens of thousands of troops. , and they have to go on an expedition, and the homeland in the rear is still threatened by the Ottoman Empire. Can they still hope to encroach on the inherent Mogul territory in the northern plains of Tianzhu?
Moreover, when Ming Dynasty entered Tianzhu, it was to compete with Mongolia. You six countries are not worthy of being enemies of Ming Dynasty. In the future, the land of the Indus, Ganges, and Bengal in the north of Tianzhu will either be protected by the Ming Dynasty or the territory of Kangxi Khan, and the six Western countries will not be allowed to interfere! "
Of course Zhu Heji would not imitate the British Empire and create a unified Indian empire for Indians - although the British exploited India ruthlessly, even if they were fooled away by the hungry Mahatma, they still left a large number of people behind. The "spiritual British" still control India's economic lifeline. But after all, they left India Asan with a basically unified and huge Indian country.
This gives India a basis for revival in the future!
And Zhu Heji certainly would not be as "well-intentioned" as the British... He did not want the entire India, and did not even intend to destroy the Mughal Dynasty and then establish direct rule in the fertile northern plains of India.
His idea was to retain the Mughal dynasty and support them in ruling the northern and northeastern regions of India, forming an east-west confrontation with the Great Mongolia that occupied Afghanistan and northwest India. .
At the same time, it allowed Western countries to establish colonial rule in the Deccan Plateau and the southern parts of India. Although the Deccan Plateau and the southern parts of India are not as fertile as the Great Plains in the north, they are worse than the long coastline and can be used as a trade between the East and the West. transfer station.
In addition, there are many plains that can be developed in the southern coastal areas of India. They are also good places that have been developed for thousands or even two or three thousand years. Many European trading houses and small colonies were located in that area.
If you work hard on management and squeeze, you should still be very profitable!
The Ming Dynasty could use the European colonies in southern India as hostages and trade transit points... In this way, it could take advantage of the fact that Britain, the Netherlands, and France did not have major interests in the central and western parts of America, and at the same time, they wanted to gain access to India. The European powers that had benefited from southern colonization and trade with China and northern India prevented them from siding with Spain to fight the Ming Dynasty.
Nalanxingde translated Zhu Heji's words into Latin. He said to Child: "The great emperor said that the great plains in northern India are where our great soldiers of heaven and the great Mongols fight. You Westerners You are not allowed to go there, otherwise you will be an enemy of the Celestial Empire! The Deccan Plateau and other places in the south are not owned by the Mughals of India, and the Ming Dynasty will not interfere."
When he said this, Child immediately understood!
Ming Dynasty was not a "true friend" of the Mughal Kingdom in India. He just wanted to step in and get a big piece - just cut off the biggest and fattest piece with a knife, leaving the fatter piece in the northwest for Kangxi Khan to chew. As for the mountainous areas in the south, which seem relatively poor, let’s leave it to the six Western countries.
This is to carve up India! And the best ones were taken away, leaving only a pile of bones for England, the Netherlands, France, Portugal, Sweden, and the Papal States to chew on.
But it’s better to have something to chew than nothing to chew on…
Child was slightly relieved. Just when he was about to ask about the Philippines, Nalanxingde had already spoken: "Governor Child, ten minutes are up. Now bow and leave!"
Child had no choice but to bow, and then led Qiongsen and two others to follow Nalan Xingde out of the main hall of Yuxi Palace.
Seeing Nalan Xingde, Childe, and Qiongsen leaving, Zhu Heji then asked: "Who is next?"
Qiu Hu, the chief of Zhu Heji's bodyguard, said: "Your Majesty, this is Princess Shunyi."
"Anu?" Zhu Heji was stunned, "Why is she here today?"
Qiu Hu said: "Your Majesty, Princess Shunyi is here for official business... This is her invitation."
As he spoke, Qiu Hu handed a memorial to Zhu Heji.
Zhu Heji hurriedly took the folder and opened it. It was really official business!
Ge Erdan will return to Guihua City immediately... He has now passed the Hexi Corridor and is heading towards the Houtao Grassland along the Yellow River.
