For the United States.
They are too dependent on the British economy, so now the rise of the Ming Dynasty has given the United States an opportunity. The United States' agricultural exports, including the export of bulk commodities such as cotton, have another market to absorb.
Because the cotton textile industry in the Ming Dynasty was very developed, the British were defeated steadily.
Therefore, it is also profitable for the United States to sell cotton from cotton plantations to Ming Dynasty.
The rise of the cotton textile industry in the Ming Dynasty also had a certain impact on the United States. Due to the collapse of a large number of British textile mills, their demand for North American cotton decreased, so that many American plantations now cannot sell cotton, resulting in In order to avoid the backlog, raising black sorghum and eating watermelon in vain, the cost is also very high.
So Nicholas Huntington is looking for a new outlet for American cotton this time.
If close trade ties can be established with the Eastern superpowers through the cotton trade, the security of the United States will be greater guaranteed.
For the new United States.
Under the pressure of survival, it is not impossible for them to seek protection from the Ming Dynasty.
George Staunton squinted his eyes and looked at this annoying American.
However, he did not directly refute his words.
Because Huntington is right.
Not to mention the British army's strength, it fought against the Ming Empire.
Even against France and Tsarist Russia, there is not much advantage.
The British Empire did not seize world hegemony through recklessness, but through wisdom!
Anyone who knows anything about European politics knows this.
The British Empire could not send its own army to go to war with a continental power alone.
Although on the surface, Tsarist Russia seems to have the same position as Britain on the issue of Ming Dynasty.
But no one can tell whether this is just a statement or a sincere statement.
Because for Tsarist Russia.
With how thirsty they are for land.
Wait until the Ming Dynasty collapses the Qing Empire.
Couldn't Tsarist Russia take the opportunity to attack the Western Regions, Khalkha, and Manchuria of the Qing Empire?
Therefore, if it is profitable, Tsarist Russia may not risk all-out hostility with the Ming Empire and support the Qing Empire with a clear-cut stand.
So now George Staunton is clamoring for all countries to be consistent.
In fact, they hope that they can use the banner of "Europe's unified stance towards the Ming" to pursue their own selfish interests - because the British did not dare to face the Ming alone in a land war, their ability to intervene in the Ming-Qing war was quite limited. In this case, recruiting several countries is actually used to embolden oneself.
"Britain will not seek to send an army to the Eastern continent, but our navy is capable enough to blockade the East!"
George Standong sneered.
"So what? As far as I know, there are a large number of shipyards at the mouth of the Pearl River and the Yangtze River. The shipbuilding capabilities of the Ming Empire far exceed that of the British. Maybe the British navy is stronger than the Ming now, but once the British and the Ming become hostile, , Ming Dynasty can explode its shipbuilding production capacity at any time, and by that time...perhaps Britain should worry about Ming Dynasty’s fleet raising its muzzle in the port of Portsmouth.”
Nicholas Huntington said.
"Are you, the British, confident that you can break through the fortresses at the mouth of the Pearl River and the Yangtze River to destroy the Ming Dynasty's shipbuilding capabilities?"
"You don't even dare to cross the Strait of Malacca."
I really don't dare...
Now is the time for bombardment.
No country's ocean-going fleet dares to approach a coastline with coastal defense artillery and a large number of light coastal defense fleets.
Speaking of this, U.S. Ambassador Nicholas Huntington said: "Everyone, united pressure will not exist. The rise of the Ming Dynasty only put pressure on a few countries. I don't think this civilization has been active in the world for thousands of years. The rise of a country can bring greater harm to world peace than some countries."
"We in the United States always stand on the side of peace and freedom!"
Nicholas Huntington said loudly.
"So, our request is just to establish equal trade with the Ming Empire, not to intervene in the war between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and to respect the order of the Eastern Celestial Empire!"
Huntington left early after expressing his stance.
The United States now has neither the power nor the will to get involved in the disputes in the west or east of Eurasia.
This "gun-toting mob republic" is now brewing a tradition of isolationism that has profoundly affected the history of the United States for hundreds of years.
Wait for the American envoy to leave.
What remains is a rapprochement between Britain and Tsarist Russia.
Plus a Spain with key interests in the east.
The envoys from the three countries reached an agreement.
We must remain consistent on the issue of Ming Dynasty and seek assistance to the Qing Empire.
In order to maintain the conflict between the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the Eastern Continent and prevent the Ming Empire from monopolizing the order of the Eastern Celestial Dynasty.
only.
The interests and demands of Britain, Russia and Spain are not completely consistent.
How long can this verbal "principle of concerted action" last?
Who can say for sure?
At least for now.
Because of what happened in France.
Britain, Russia, and Spain are currently in a state of cooperation.
In the east, Great Britain did not dare to shout and kill, but clamored to send a large army to land.
But in Europe.
The anti-French alliance has begun to organize troops.
The French Republic is about to face a joint siege by the forces of monarchies across Europe.
.........
Yingtianhuangcheng.
Duke Jia's Mansion.
Louis de Saint-Just was sitting in the living room of the Duke's Palace, curiously observing this completely oriental-style mansion and the servants in the mansion.
I really didn't expect it.
A Frenchman actually became the Army General Counselor of the Ming Empire, and was awarded the title of Duke of the Ming Dynasty for his merits!
Why haven't you heard of this kind of person before?
A French commander who could command the Ming Dynasty's large armies in battle.
I asked to see him no matter what.
the most important is.
France lacked generals who could command a large army and fight against the anti-French alliance.
Napoleon Bonaparte, who had commanded hundreds of thousands of troops in combat and could be regarded as the founder of army tactics in the bombardment era, may be the most suitable candidate.
soon.
A young man who was not tall but looked very stocky walked in. He was wearing a plain long uniform that was common among officials in Yingtian Mansion.
When I saw Louis, my eyes lit up.
"Mr. Louis, I heard about you when I was studying at the Paris Military Academy."
Napoleon laughed.
I felt a little emotional in my heart.
Louis de Saint-Just was an important cadre of the Jacobins.
Napoleon, who was studying in school at that time, also joined the Jacobins, but at that time, Napoleon did not have the opportunity to have contact with Jacobin leaders like Louis de Saint-Just.
Later, Napoleon was also wanted for joining the forces that opposed the French royal family. Then he left France under Zhu Daohua's persuasion and came to the far east with Zhu Daohua.
did not expect.
Three years have passed.
France has actually become a republic.
And the Jacobin leader who he needed to look up to back then was now saluting him respectfully.
"Dear Duke Bonaparte, it is an honor to be received by you."
Louis de Saint-Just bent down.
"You're welcome, Mr. Louis, please take a seat quickly."
After Napoleon sat down, Louis de Saint-Just sat down.
"Duke, I really didn't expect that as a European, you could gain such trust from His Majesty the Emperor. You can command an army of hundreds of thousands in combat. There are not many commanders in Europe who can do that."
Louis de Saint-Just said.
Napoleon smiled and said, "This is because His Majesty the Emperor trusts me."
"I heard that you also joined the fight against the French royal family. You seem to be an opponent of the monarchy?" Louis de Saint-Just said.
"No, I am not against the monarchy. For example, His Majesty the Ming Emperor. I even think that His Majesty the Emperor is the most democratic leader in the world. He was pioneering in a large empire like the ancient East that had no democratic tradition at all. He established a constitution-like "Li" and also established parliaments from the central to local governments. The degree of enlightenment in his country is probably higher than that of most European countries today."
Napoleon looked at Louis de Saint-Just and said: "In the East, a monarch is necessary."
"What about in France?"
"I have no idea."
Napoleon spread his hands and said.
When Napoleon was a boy, he believed that the monarchy was backward and reactionary.
But as he grew up.
Especially following Zhu Daohua, many of Zhu Daohua's ideas had a great influence on Napoleon.
For example, Zhu Daohua often says that "any system must adapt to national conditions."
What is the national condition of France?
Can the Republicans really represent the interests of all France?
Napoleon also often thought this way.
Maybe France needs an emperor too.
Like Zhu Daohua.
The emperor who led France to progress.
But who is this emperor?
The House of Bourbon was clearly out of the question.
They represent the interests of the old aristocracy, the old bureaucracy, and the big landowners.
"For the French Republic to survive, in addition to internal pressure, the more critical thing is the opposition of European countries." Napoleon thought for a moment and said.
Louis de Saint-Just smiled bitterly.
"Duke, you are right. European countries have now formed an anti-French alliance, and our motherland is being invaded by a coalition of stubborn European forces!"
Louis de Saint-Just looked at Napoleon Bonaparte with burning eyes.
"Our motherland needs a commander-in-chief, a real commander-in-chief!"
"We need a commander who can lead the French army to defeat the invaders!"
Napoleon Bonaparte was stunned for a moment.
"Are you inviting me back to France?"
"Yes! You can become the leader of the French army and the defender of the republic."
Lead the French army.
Defend the Republic.
It sounds... really exciting.
Napoleon stood up and looked out the window.
is to return to France.
Or stay in Daming?
Should he become the commander-in-chief of the French army, or stay in the Ming Dynasty and become the Duke of the Ming Empire?
Napoleon's heart began to beat faster.
After a long time.
He turned his head.
Said: "I can take you to see His Majesty the Emperor."
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed. If you want to read the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more confused.
A single dormitory?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
The body and appearance have changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed by the bedside, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:? ? ?
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
