Zhu Jingyuan wants Long Island, New York, which is a close relationship in the real core area.
If the United States were an independent country, this request would be similar to the British request for Tianjin.
It is even worse than asking for Chongming Island directly, because Changdao is larger than Chongming Island and is much closer to the mainland than Chongming Island.
The two boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens in New York are directly on Long Island, not the sandbank floating outside like Chongming Island.
It is certainly impossible to achieve under normal circumstances.
Even if the United States was not independent but became a complete British colony, it was absolutely impossible to give Long Island to the Ming Dynasty.
Unless Daming is willing to exchange Chongming Island or Zhoushan Islands.
So when British Prime Minister William Pitt saw this request, he almost jumped up on the spot and shouted "impossible".
But when the words came to his lips, Peter forcibly controlled his emotions.
"According to the proposal between the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, the northern part of the United States, including the entire New York, will be assigned to French Canada.
"In other words, the actual result is to allocate an island to Ming Dynasty next to the core urban area belonging to France.
"Looking at it this way, this kind of deal is in the interests of the United Kingdom.
"It's just...why does this kind of operation look so like a habitual strategy for us British people?"
With this thought in his mind, Pete had completely calmed down and directly recognized Ming's request for Long Island.
Then start thinking about the other part of the requirements:
"As for the Chesapeake Peninsula...
"It would be better for the United States to retain the southernmost tip of the peninsula, originally the counties of Accomack and Northampton, Virginia, so that the United Kingdom could control the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay.
"But that is absolutely impossible. When Ming asked for this peninsula, what he probably cared about most was the sharp corner.
"If I were a representative of Ming Dynasty, I would never give up this sharp corner.
"But from the perspective of the United Kingdom, even if this peninsula is not given to the Ming Dynasty, it must be handed over to the French as a whole.
"It is impossible for the French to accept that there is a large amount of French territory inside the bay, but the entrance to the bay is completely controlled by the British.
"Between the United Kingdom and the French across the sea, and the Ming people across the sea, it seems that the latter is more acceptable.

response.
The Ming Dynasty gave different accounts to France and Britain.
The explanation for the British was directly to hand over Long Island and the Chesapeake Peninsula to the Ming Dynasty among the areas that should have been given to France.
The statement given to France was to adjust the territorial exchange plan. The above two places would no longer be handed over to France, but to the Ming Dynasty.
Although the essence is the same, it feels different when talking about it.
After Talleyrand saw the plan replied by Zhu Jingyuan, his expression suddenly became tangled and he said with some doubts:
"Do you think this plan to hand over Long Island and the Chesapeake Peninsula to the Ming Dynasty was proposed to the Ming Dynasty privately by the British on their own initiative?
"Long Island is so important to New York. If this land is given to the Ming Dynasty, the distance between us and the Ming Dynasty... will only be less than one kilometer!
"The same goes for the Chesapeake Peninsula. Both the north and south sides belong to us, France. As a result, the peninsula in the middle belongs to the Ming Dynasty.
"Among the lands transferred from Britain, the most important coastline is right in front of Ming Dynasty."
Duke Richelieu couldn't help but frowned when he looked at the contents of the telegram:
"It does look like a British handiwork. It is the British habit to create conflicts with the recipient when transferring land.
“According to the previous plan, all the land north of Virginia was transferred to us, and of course this land should have been included.
"If possible, we certainly don't want to leave Ming Dynasty with two extremely important strongholds at our doorstep.
“But these lands were transferred by the British, and we actually don’t have much right to choose.
"This transaction is actually very beneficial to us.
"Replacing inland land with coastal land will make the territory less narrow and long, making it easier to manage.
"Let our coastline be warmer..."
Duke Richelieu's intention was obvious and he was inclined to accept Ming's proposal.
While the cabinet was discussing, Talleyrand's secretary sent a new telegram:
"News from the British..."
Talleyrand immediately took it, and after reading it, he sighed and handed the telegram to the Duke of Richelieu:
"Our discussions are meaningless. The British have made a very clear response. These places will be handed over directly to the Ming Dynasty and will not pass through the hands of the French.
“Even if this proposal was not proposed by the British, it is completely in line with British habits and thinking.
"It is very beneficial to the Ming Dynasty. It makes us French uncomfortable, but it doesn't matter to the British, so the British will definitely accept it."…
Duke Richelieu read the telegram and handed it to others:
"We have no choice. Let's make this decision and let Ming's troops control the situation as soon as possible."
Britain and France each formally replied to Zhu Jingyuan, stating that they could accept Zhu Jingyuan's request and hoped that Ming Dynasty could order the troops to start assisting in the deployment as soon as possible, and the agreement could be supplemented later.
The replies from Britain and France, as well as the terms negotiated by both parties, were sent to Zhu Jingyuan and were also summarized in the Ming Dynasty capital and the League of Nations headquarters.
Diplomats from both sides met in two places to draw up a formal agreement on "borrowing teachers to assist in suppression".
After reading it, Zhu Jingyuan smiled and nodded. He felt that the matter was almost postponed, so he immediately wrote a simple report to the capital.
It is suggested that while assisting the defense of the United States, the Metropolitan Government should try to take the initiative to seize the land delivered to Ming Dynasty in the agreement.
Includes land on the east bank of Honey River, Michigan lands.
Try to take the initiative to land in the Long Island area and try to launch an attack on the Chesapeake Peninsula.
The place that is directly in your hands is truly yours, and only then can you avoid any wrangling.
It is also suggested that you try to recruit local people to surrender during this process.
Tell the local Thai people that these lands will belong to the Ming Dynasty from now on, and both Britain and France agreed.
If they are willing to stay there, they can obtain the status of a vassal state established by the Ming Dynasty there.
citizen status.
They could continue to live locally under Ming's jurisdiction and even retain the assets they were currently using.
The reason is of course that there is currently a shortage of local immigrants in Ming Dynasty.
Meanwhile there were hundreds of thousands of Teishites on Long Island and the Chesapeake Peninsula.
These two places are also intended to be used to resettle the Taixi people.
Therefore, Zhu Jingyuan suggested that for the time being, try to rely on the Taixi people to rule the Taixi people.
First, we will give relatively high treatment, that is, a national status that is higher than the right of residence.
Stabilize and control the local situation as quickly as possible, and then gradually move the Ming people to take over.
With the cooperation of Xichang, we should be able to find enough people who are willing to cooperate with Daming to control the local situation.
Zhu Jingyuan's suggestions were submitted directly to the Ming Emperor Zhu Jianyan.
After reading it, Zhu Jianyan accepted it without much hesitation.
The operation Zhu Jing is mentioning now is a plan often used by Daming in the past.
Zhu Jingyuan's previous demands, the plan that wanted land but not people, were more outrageous.
The presence of low-status foreigners in the local area is actually a condition that attracts immigrants from the Ming Dynasty.
The people of Ming Dynasty can go there and directly become masters, which is much more interesting than going to uninhabited land to open up wasteland.
