Britain made the colonial rebels more troublesome, and France became even more troublesome.
When the French Prime Minister, the Duke of Richelieu, held a meeting with his cabinet, the most common question he asked was:
"Is the news reliable? Are you sure it is?"
Napoleon was once stationed in Buffalo and controlled the transportation arteries of French Canada. Communications between the mainland and Canada were also controlled.
Most of the 100,000 main troops sent by France to Canada followed Napoleon in rebellion.
The remaining few who refused were also put under house arrest in several remote strongholds and went to farm under the supervision of the rebels.
The French court no longer has direct access to the actual situation in French Canada.
Most of the news in Canada was relayed by the British, and news from the British and Americans.
The British were shocked by Napoleon's declaration of himself as king, and the French were even more horrified.
After all, Napoleon was French, not British.
The French themselves knew better that Napoleon's commanding talent was terrifying.
Duke Richelieu took the news from the British and took several important cabinet members to see King Louis XVI.
Duke Richelieu skipped the normal meeting etiquette and reported directly after entering:
"Your Majesty, the British have sent news that Napoleon has proclaimed himself king. This is already a complete rebellion.
"We should lead more troops as soon as possible to suppress the rebellion..."
Louis XVI was startled and almost dropped the keychain in his hand:
"Is the news reliable? Is Napoleon really rebelling?"
Duke Richelieu said with a sad face:
"It must be true that there has been no news from Yinzhou for several days.
"The United States kidnapped three members of the British royal family, and they were probably with Napoleon.
"The British believed that the chaos in America was also caused by Napoleon's promotion, so they blamed us."
Louis XVI was stunned for a few seconds:
"Suppress... Napoleon? The question is who should go? The Duke of Orleans and his son? Can they do it?"
Duke Richelieu was also stunned for a moment.
Yes, let someone go.
The French knew Napoleon best.
They could not imagine what general could defeat Napoleon.
Although the French royal family had no hostages in Napoleon's hands, they could start mobilizing without hesitation.
However, the generals to command the operations have never been selected.
There was an awkward silence for a few seconds before Talleyrand said:
“The British asked us to submit an official note to Ming Dynasty and the League of Nations together.
“Require Ming Dynasty and the League of Nations to coordinate and contain the power of the Yinzhou rebels.
“I think we can really try to ask Ming to step in and control the situation.
"If Ming Dynasty ignores these things, then the League of Nations will have no meaning in existence."
Louis XVI seemed to suddenly react:
"Yes, continue to organize the troops, and at the same time contact Daming first, discuss with the British, and see how this note will be written."
Dashi Country, Liusha City.
Zhu Jingyuan and Guan Tianpei, together with the grassroots commanders and soldiers, planned a surprise attack plan of hundreds of kilometers.
Pan Shien quickly found Zhu Jingyuan and handed over the joint note from Britain and France sent from Honglu Temple in the Ming Dynasty. ….Zhu Jingyuan opened it and read it. There were quite a lot of words in it, but he summarized it in one sentence:
"You, the Ming Dynasty, must bring justice to us, Britain and France!"
Zhu Jingyuan looked helpless. Is there something wrong with the minds of these two people?
You are Britain and France, you are a colonial empire.
Now that the colonies are fighting for independence, you want me, Ming Dynasty, to uphold justice for you?
Don't you find it embarrassing?
However, after thinking about it for a while, Zhu Jingyuan found that this matter was not that simple.
So Zhu Jingyuan asked Guan Tianpei and the generals to continue the discussion, and he went to the living room to summon his staff and main officials.
Zhu Jingyuan handed the telegram document to Niu Jian and asked everyone present to circulate it:
"What do you think? What should we do? Do we want to bring justice to Britain and France? How do we hold justice?"
Pan Shien read the content first, so he was the first to express his opinion:
“Your Majesty, I believe that this depends on Ming Dynasty and your plans for the future use of the League of Nations, as well as Ming Dynasty’s plans for the future relationship with the League of Nations.
“If the League of Nations was just a temporary tool, then there would be no need to care about the demands of Britain and France.
“If it is to be used as a long-term platform to maintain international order, it is best to let it play some practical role in international affairs, that is, to stand on the side of Britain and France.
"If you want to maintain the current ruling area, gradually eliminate hostility towards Ming, and make Ming the true leader of the entire world, then you should make a little effort to help them solve the Yinzhou rebellion."
Zhu Jingyuan nodded slowly as he listened:
"What Mr. Pan said makes sense. Does anyone else have any other opinions?"
At this time Niu Jian got emotional and spoke:
"Your Highness, the student thinks that Ming Dynasty's strategic goals in Yinzhou should also be considered.
"If there are no further expansion plans in Yinzhou in the future, Nachen suggested that we could try to dismember the British and French colonies and make them as independent as possible in the form of a large number of small countries.
“For example, each state and each colony in the United States establishes a separate principality or county.
“If Ming Dynasty intends to completely occupy Yinzhou in the future and completely seize the existing colonies of Britain and France, then it is best not to allow Canada and the United States to become independent, let alone to merge them into the same country.
“The land of Beiyinzhou was relatively easy to seize when it remained in the hands of Britain and France in the form of a colony.
“Because the importance of the colonies to the mainland of the empire is actually relatively low, they can be used as targets for compensation or even transactions.
“If Canada and the United States become completely independent and let them establish their own countries on the land of Yinzhou, those places will become the mainland of these new countries.
“They have awakened their national ethnic consciousness, and with the ideological trend of protecting their country, it will be very difficult for the Ming Dynasty to annex these two areas.
“Even if their court is defeated head-on, it will take a long time for the civil resistance to be eradicated.
“The subsequent integration and governance costs will also be relatively high.”
Zhu Jingyuan listened to the opinions of several ministers and clan members, and said with emotion: "I can see that there are pitfalls in this matter, and it is a big pit. We are now standing at an important intersection.
“The future diplomatic strategy of Ming Dynasty and the future positioning of Ming Dynasty in the world will all start from this flawed choice.
“If we don’t regard Xiyi as human beings and don’t care what Xiyi thinks of us, then we can ignore Xiyi.
"If we want to be the 'leader' seriously, similar to the leader of the Spring and Autumn Period, then we have to take care of them.
"You have to treat Xiyi as a human being and treat them as someone you can communicate with.
"But I feel like it's a trap no matter which direction it goes."
Zhu Jingyuan spoke very plainly, and the surrounding staff and officials all had strange expressions.
These two choices have already been brewing in the minds of many people.
When you become the leader of an alliance, you have to shoulder responsibilities, just like the superpowers in previous lives.
Although most of the time, they act for their own interests.
But their existence does maintain a kind of order in the world, so that international relations are not completely the law of the jungle.
If Daming wants to take up the responsibility of alliance leader, Xiyi will come to Daming if they have trouble in the future.
The advantage is that their resistance to Ming will continue to decrease, and they will gradually recognize Ming as the true leader of the earth.
The disadvantage is that in the future, you can no longer act willfully and must maintain a relatively fair attitude at all times.
In the future, when Daming punishes someone, he will have to use a bag of washing powder as an excuse.
If you are not the leader of the alliance, you don't regard Xiyi as a human being, which means you don't need to pay attention to Xiyi's views on the Ming Dynasty.
The bad thing is that the Western countries have always been vigilant and wary of the Ming Dynasty, and have been on war alert for a long time.
The good thing is that when Ming wants to conquer them and seize their land, there is no need to worry about other factors besides strength.
Just let the world operate according to the law of the jungle. You don’t need to make excuses for what you want to do, and you don’t need to care about other people’s opinions.
The biggest difference between the Ming Dynasty in this world and those superpowers is that the Ming Dynasty already controls half of the earth.
This is a goal that no superpower in history has ever achieved.
The original superpowers actually struggled to be leaders and did not have the ability or opportunity to annex the world.
And Ming Dynasty now has the opportunity to choose to join the world, and then he will no longer have the responsibilities and obligations of the alliance leader.
Zhu Jingyuan thought for a while and added a few words:
“Actually, besides these two directions, there is another extreme choice.
"Let the cultural prosperity, social living standards, social security and stability of the entire Ming Dynasty always be ahead of other countries.
“At the same time, the Ming Dynasty still allowed overseas countries to merge into the Ming Dynasty system in the form of foreign vassals.
“But the direction itself remains contradictory.
“If the Ming Dynasty takes the lead in all aspects, the bureaucracy will definitely not want to accept them, just like the withdrawal of the vassal state has been stuck for decades.
"If they are in the lead, they definitely don't want to join the Ming Dynasty. ..." But I feel that this matter is not something I can decide. Is there no additional opinion on the news sent by the court? "
Several staff and ministers already have a deep understanding of Zhu Jingyuan's identity.
So after hearing this last sentence, I instinctively thought in my heart:
If these things can affect Ming Dynasty’s diplomatic strategy in the next few decades, then you should really make the decision...
Pan Shien replied with a complicated mood:
"The imperial court has not given any advice, but the foreign affairs of Great Qinhai are all under your control."
Zhu Jingyuan asked casually:
“This is diplomacy between Yinzhou and North Atlantic, and it basically does not involve matters within the Great Qinhai.
“Let’s sort out our analysis process, as well as the conclusions and analyses, and send them to Honglu Temple.
"First ask the court for instructions. If I have to make a decision..."
The staff and ministers agreed together, and Niu Jian went to sort out the points he had just analyzed.
A simple report was formed and sent to Honglu Temple in the name of Zhu Jingyuan.
The response came that afternoon. The emperor personally gave instructions and Zhu Jingyuan was still in charge of foreign affairs.
Zhu Jingyuan took the response telegram and walked around the lobby twice before sighing and saying:
“I thought about it for two hours, but I still feel that idealism is unacceptable.
"Our alliance leader, Daming, is not a parent, but an overlord. Although we cannot completely ignore Xiyi as human beings, we have no obligation to wipe their butts.
“So respond to Britain and France like this:
“As the leader of the League of Nations, we, the Ming Dynasty, will certainly not support rebels within the League’s member states.
“But we also believe that as major countries in Thailand and Spain, the United Kingdom and the United Kingdom should be able to solve domestic problems on their own.
“If Britain and France determine that they cannot solve the colonial problem, they will not be able to maintain effective rule over the Yinzhou colony.
"Then please ask the two countries to transfer colonial ownership to Ming in the form of official documents."
Niu Jian wrote down what Zhu Jingyuan said, read it again and said:
"Your Highness, do you mean to refer to the rules for the development of Mozhou? Question the ability of Britain and France to rule their colonies?"
Zhu Jingyuan nodded slightly and said:
"Yes, Britain and France are traditional colonial empires after all. If you can't hold your own colonies, then don't get them.
“The League of Nations is a platform for us to distribute colonies, not a platform for protecting declining colonial countries.
“If there is a conflict between two member states, then we can come out and judge what is right and wrong for them.
"There is a rebellion in my own colony, but I come to Ming Dynasty to seek justice. Isn't it a shame?"
The League of Nations in this world is not the universal international organization of Zhu Jingyuan’s previous life, but a platform for carving up the world.
It is equivalent to a carnivore club. Those who join the alliance are all carnivores, and they are all members who want to carve up the world.
The Ming Dynasty could promise not to support Napoleon and not cause trouble to their colonies, but it had no obligation to help them maintain their rule.
The two parties only have a very preliminary cooperative relationship. If they want Daming to help them, they must provide benefits, and don't think about engaging in moral kidnapping. .
