Of course, Daming's real bottom line would not be told to his negotiating opponents right away, so the bottom line in Nalan Xingde's mouth was not the bottom line at all, but a bargaining chip!
And Hugo Leonard and Degas Magala were not stupid. Of course they knew that the Ming Empire could not take care of the Ottoman Empire that much. In such a thing as carving up the world, of course, the fewer countries participating, the better! Because the world is so big, three countries are definitely more comfortable than four countries... Of course, two countries are definitely more comfortable than three countries!
Therefore, Hugo Leonard and Dega Magala also have chips in their hands - this chip is the benefit of Mongolia!
The two foreigners looked at each other with serious expressions.
Hugo Leonard said: "Your Excellency, Deputy Minister, the Ottoman Empire is the mortal enemy of our Christian civilization. If you, the Ming Dynasty, want to stand firmly on the side of the Ottoman Empire, then there is no need to continue this meeting aimed at carving up the world. .”
Dega Magala said with a sacred and solemn face: "Believers in God will never forgive the crimes committed by the Tianfang Religion... Constantinople and Jerusalem must be recovered!"
Nalan Xingde just smiled faintly after hearing what the two said, and said in his heart: "You still say that we are followers of the devil! The leader of their Tianfang cult and the leader of your Christianity are still the same great god, so they can be considered brothers in the same sect. ?”
Seeing the disdain on Nalan Xingde's face, the hearts of the two foreign devils sank - this was contempt, the Ming Dynasty's heartfelt contempt for the Frank Empire and the Holy See!
Just when the two of them didn't know how to respond to this contempt, Nalanxingde spoke again: "You two, I think it is necessary for me to reiterate the diplomatic principle of the Ming Dynasty again - there is no alliance between China and the Ming Dynasty! We, the Ming Dynasty, Only vassals, no allies!
So the Ottoman Empire is not an ally of the Ming Dynasty, but you must also face the existence of the Ottoman Empire and the Eastern Alliance headed by the Ottoman Empire... Even if you are extremely hostile to them, they still exist, and it seems that they will exist for a long time! Likewise, you should also acknowledge the existence of the Aztec Kingdom in Mexico! "
The reason why the Ming Dynasty adopted such a diplomatic principle was that the vassal state had no diplomacy and the vassal state was not a country with complete sovereignty. They have handed over part of their sovereignty to Ming Dynasty and obey Ming Dynasty's command in terms of diplomacy and external military operations. Therefore, Ming Dynasty will not be dragged into unnecessary wars and confrontations by their independent external actions, because they have no autonomy at all... This means that Ming Dynasty can always maintain strategic initiative and freedom, and will not be dragged into unnecessary wars and confrontations by itself. was implicated by an ally with independent sovereignty and became the ally's thug.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty was only a friend of the Ottoman Empire, Persia, Hindustan, and the Aztecs, not an ally... Even if the Indian trading company controlled by Wu Guogui was actually protecting Hindustan, the Ming Dynasty did not recognize that Hindustan was The allies, of course, did not accept the surrender of Hindustan - this is because the suzerain and the vassal are one family!
The suzerain country is the father, and the vassal country is the son. Therefore, the Ming court allowed people from vassal states to immigrate to the mainland of the Ming Dynasty...Similarly, the people of the Ming Dynasty were also free to enter and live in any vassal state while retaining the identity of Ming people. Of course, they could also be naturalized in the vassal state. country.
In addition, each vassal state also opened its doors to each other and allowed people from other vassal states to immigrate.
Of course, the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty can prohibit their own people (without Ming status) from leaving the country, and can even prohibit the people of the suzerain country or other vassal states from leaving the country for a short period of time with the consent of the Ming Supervisor Yamen.
Under this system, the elites of each vassal country usually choose to be naturalized in the Ming Dynasty, and then continue to engage in business and politics in their own countries as citizens of the Ming Dynasty - so that they can get more protection from the Ming Dynasty. You can get out of trouble even if it's over. The people of the vassal states who left their home countries and immigrated to some newly developed vassal states will gradually become Chinese... Because some newly developed vassal states often gather people from the Ming Dynasty and various vassal states, and their upper class They all retain their identity as citizens of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, they will inevitably lead immigrants from various vassal states to become Chinese together.
In fact, this is a policy of the Xia monarch and the barbarians, which is exactly the same as the method used during the expansion of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
And as more and more vassal states are Sinicized, the countries that still maintain their own characteristics in the Chinese circle and do not Sinicize will become very different... and finally have to follow the trend and Sinicize!
However, there must be a prerequisite for this kind of "Xia Jun Yimin" to be established, that is, the gap between this "Xia Jun" and the "Yi Min" below cannot be too big... Even if the gap is a bit big, as long as the number is not large, it will not matter. Able to assimilate. Historically, the Xiajun Yi people of the Western Zhou Dynasty were successful in the end, and the United States was also relatively successful in assimilating white European immigrants such as British, German, French, Russian, Irish, etc. But African Americans...
Of course, we are still in the 17th century. There are no planes, trains, or large ships. Transportation is very inconvenient, and immigrating to other countries is even more difficult. Therefore, free migration only existed in theory. In fact, long-distance migration was carried out under the organization of the Ming Dynasty court, the vassal monarchs and the several chartered trading companies... and Zhu Heji controlled everything behind the scenes. .
So those who immigrated to North America in recent years were Han Chinese and Mongolians, and those who were thrown to Southeast Asia to explore were mostly Koreans, Japanese, and Annamites... Of course, there were also some Chaozhou people and Hokkien people who served as new vassal states. The upper layer has been migrated.
The gap between Han people, Koreans, Japanese, and Annan people is not particularly large. They are relatively close in appearance and culture, so it is easier to assimilate. As for the Nanyang aborigines, their numbers were very small at this time - the population explosion of the Nanyang aborigines only occurred after the success of modern medicine in the prevention and treatment of tropical infectious diseases. Before that, the populations of many of the most populous countries in Southeast Asia in later generations were Millions, not even that much. The Philippines, which had a population of over 100 million in later generations, had only a few hundred thousand people when it was recovered by the Ming Dynasty. Annan, including Guangnan, has a population of only 2.5 million. Siam has only 2.3 million people, Chenla has only 1.0 million people, Myanmar has only over 4 million people, and the countries on the Malay Peninsula have a combined population of only 500,000 people. Because of its developed agriculture, Java Island has a larger population, but it is only six to seven million...and among the above tens of millions of people, at least a few million people have some Chinese ancestry.
As long as Zhu Heji can arrange for immigrants from the north to get cinchona saplings (the Ming Dynasty has already obtained cinchona tree saplings from the Aztecs) and allicin, assimilation into Nanyang is just a matter of time.
Of course, even with cinchona and allicin, the death rate of people going to Southeast Asia would be much higher than that of going to the New World. This is partly because cinchona and allicin are in limited supply. On the other hand, the efficacy of these two drugs is not particularly good. Whether you can save your life after taking them depends on your physical constitution. Cinchona cream among them also has relatively serious side effects.
In order to truly eradicate various tropical infectious diseases, the most effective way is to open up tropical rainforests with many wild animals and various insects into relatively "clean" cultivated land. In this process, a large number of deaths are inevitable.
Therefore, the main force in exploring Nanyang (the main force in the work) was the Japanese working people who were not afraid of death... This is also the reason why Zhu Heji conquered Japan and accepted it as a dog.
But Hindustan is not even qualified to be a dog... There are 70 to 80 million Asans there! That is four times that of Japan and as large as the population of the Ming Dynasty (including North Korea)!
Moreover, Indians have a strong local culture, and they look different from people in East Asia... In history, even the conquerors of the Tianfang Sect, who were so extreme, couldn't do anything to them, so what else could the Ming Dynasty do to them? If the Ming Dynasty turned this country into its own vassal state, wouldn't the Han people become a minority within the Celestial Empire?
Therefore, Zhu Heji resolutely rejected the surrender of the Mughal Emperor - to be a dog to the Ming Dynasty also had to be good-looking, and he had to look like him and be easier to assimilate!
"Your Excellency, Deputy Foreign Minister," Hugo Leonard finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming the "Chinese non-alignment" policy again, "How about this, we can delineate some areas to be allocated, and we can divide the Ottoman Empire, The Hindustan Empire, Persia, Aztecs…are all included in the areas to be distributed.”
"There is also Black Africa and Siberia controlled by the Rakshasa Kingdom!" Nalan Xingde immediately added.
Hugo Leonard and Dega Malaga both looked embarrassed and refused to nod.
Black Africa has long been regarded as something in Louis's pocket, so how can it be turned into a territory "to be distributed"?
In addition, Siberia is the territory of Rakshasa. If it becomes "to be distributed", it means that Louis cannot guarantee Rakshasa's sovereignty over Siberia. Then can Rakshasa still follow France-the Frankish Empire?
Nalan Xingde saw that the two people refused to let go, so he took a step back: "We can also divide most of the southern continent and the surrounding islands to be allocated, so you can finally explain it, right?"
This concession of Xingde is not substantial, because no one dares to covet the southern continent that Ming is interested in!
"The Ming Dynasty must promise not to participate in the construction of the canal that connects the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea!" Hugo Leonard was silent for a while, then put forward a new condition and gave a new bait, "If the Ming Dynasty can at a certain critical moment Interrupting military aid to the Turkish Empire... We can also give up support to the Mongol Empire at a certain critical period! We can even accept the situation of co-governing India and the Indian Ocean with the Ming Dynasty after the demise of the Ottoman Empire. Although India It’s too big to digest, but it’s easy to exploit!”
Hugo Leopard was betraying Mongolia in exchange for the opportunity to destroy the Ottoman Empire!
Nalan Xingde was stunned and looked at Hugo Leonard, "Your Excellency, Foreign Minister, what you are talking about... was authorized by Emperor Louis?"
"Of course!" Hugo Leonard gave an affirmative answer.
"There is also the authorization of the Roman Pope!" Degamagala said, "For France, the Frankish Empire and the Holy See, the destruction of the Ottoman Empire and the recovery of Vienna, Constantinople and Jerusalem are top priorities! "
In fact, the destruction of the Ottoman Empire was the founding battle of Louis! Only by recovering Vienna, Constantinople, and Jerusalem can his France-Frank Empire truly establish its prestige, and avoid the situation of "Louis' death and division".
"How to prove it?" Nalan Xingde was still worried.
"We have a letter of authorization signed by the emperor and the pope, and we can enter into a secret treaty with the Ming Dynasty against the Great Mongolia and the Ottoman Empire... Of course, after the secret treaty is signed, it still needs to be signed by the Ming Emperor, the Frank Emperor and the Roman Pope. It will take effect after printing!"
Nalan Xingde nodded: "Please bring me the authorization letter signed by the Frank Emperor and the Pope... Our Honglu Temple has a dedicated person who will compare the handwriting. If it is confirmed that it is the Frank Emperor and the Pope In your handwriting, I will submit your request and authorization letter to the Grand Duke and Emperor!"
Hugo Leonard smiled and said: "Okay! I will immediately have the authorization letter brought to the Vice Minister! And I look forward to gaining the friendship of Ming Dynasty!"
.......
At the same time, Suo'etu and Nalan Mingzhu were also discussing a secret treaty that betrayed the interests of the Frank Empire!
Who wouldn’t betray a friend? There are countless real incidents of betraying friends and brothers in the Twenty-Four Histories. Kangxi Khan himself was betrayed by others. Of course, he also betrayed others. He had already become a spirit.
So he had long predicted that Emperor Louis and Urban IX would betray Great Mongolia... and the way to counter the betrayal was, of course, to betray his friends before they betrayed him!
Therefore, when Kangxi Khan made a secret agreement with Hugo Leonard and Degas Magala to oppose the Ming Dynasty, he had already thought about how to betray the Frank Empire.
The way he betrayed the Frank Empire was to help the Ottoman Empire build the Suez Canal and promote the conclusion of the "Ottoman-Rakshasa Secret Treaty".
Soetu spoke eloquently: "According to the intelligence we have in Mongolia, Emperor Louis will definitely succeed in capturing Vienna... because he has mobilized more than 200,000 troops for this battle! And he will also send Poland ——Sweden-Rakshasa coalition forces attack parts of Ukraine and the Black Sea coastal areas owned by the Ottomans. Mongolia will also attack Socot Island at the entrance to the Gulf of Aden from the sea.
With the military power of the Ottoman Empire, it was simply impossible to stop the siege of so many countries. Therefore, the Great Khan judged that the Ottoman Empire would definitely lose! Although the Ottoman Empire would not perish after its defeat, it would certainly fall into internal and external troubles. The only thing that could reverse the decline of the Ottoman Empire was the construction of the Suez Canal.
As long as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty recognizes the sovereignty of Mongolia in Kazakhstan, Hezhong, Afghanistan, northwest India, etc., and guarantees that it will not invade the land of Mongolia, and at the same time recognizes that Mongolia can dominate the Mongolian Ocean... Mongolia will cover The Ottoman Empire built the Suez Canal! It also promoted the reconciliation between the Ottoman Empire and the Rakshasa State to avoid putting the Ottoman Empire into the predicament of being attacked from both sides. "
