With cannon on the left and trade on the right, the fleet of the Star Sea Kingdom made these countries bow their heads, while the exquisite goods made their merchants demand to establish peaceful diplomatic relations with the Star Sea Kingdom.
During this period of time, the diplomats of Xinghai Kingdom were too busy.
Due to the need to sign a peace treaty with the Ouzhou countries, most diplomats stayed in Ouzhou during this period.
Well, it's not too busy to say that they are busy. They are more participating in the diplomatic banquets of the Ouzhou countries and showing off the noble oriental etiquette that is different from the Ouzhou countries.
What needs to be explained is that under the shock of the Star Sea Fleet's guns, even the toughest Blast Furnace people had to lower their heads and sign a peace treaty.
According to the content of the peace treaty, all the defeated countries in Ouzhou need to pay a certain amount of war compensation to Xinghai Kingdom. At the same time, they need to open their doors to Xinghai Kingdom and allow the import of Xinghai products unconditionally.
In addition, the Xinghai Kingdom will station an army in the Ouzhou countries to maintain the safety of Xinghai merchants and citizens, etc.
In short, after signing the treaty, the Ouzhou countries, which had to swallow their anger, were legally reduced to semi-colonies of the Xinghai Kingdom.
Of course, these countries will not always swallow their anger. After all, they still own the vast Meizhou and Philippines.
The Xinghai Kingdom did not directly deprive them of their suzerainty over these places. After all, with the current strength of the Xinghai Kingdom, it is difficult to have excess military power to be deployed in Meizhou and Feizhou for the time being.
You know, the current territory of Xinghai Kingdom already covers one-eighth of the land in the plane.
And with the passage of time, the focus of Xinghai Kingdom has begun to shift from other places back to the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
After all, in the eyes of the traveling public, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is their basic territory.
Besides, no matter how much land is occupied, if there is not enough population to move there and develop it, it means there is no occupation.
Why did powerful countries such as Britain in later generations decline in just a few hundred years? Why did the territory fall apart so quickly?
Isn't the specific reason why the basic population is not enough?
If the basic population in these places is sufficient, why would these powerful countries lose these places?
Although the population of Xinghai Kingdom has risen to about 14 million, compared to the many overseas territories and the mainland, it is really not that many.
In many places, there are only more than a thousand people living in settlements, but the settlements are surrounded by vast uninhabited wilderness, woods, etc.
Xinghai Kingdom urgently needs more people to fill its territory, which makes Xinghai Kingdom become impatient with the Qing court who still holds the territory.
After Xinghai Kingdom sent an envoy to inform the Qing court, the senior officials of the Qing court looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
The little emperor who had just taken over the throne was full of dissatisfaction. Obviously, the previous war with Xinghai Kingdom was still too far away for him. He was only a few years old at that time and could not remember too many things at all.
Now, he only knew that he was the supreme emperor, but someone actually came to tell him to ask the Qing court to move and get out of the Central Plains!
This was unbearable for him.
But what the little emperor never expected was that after hesitating for a long time, several princes and banner owners actually chose to persuade him, the emperor.
The general idea is that Xinghai Kingdom is too powerful and we have to give in.
Well, probably it was the previous war with Xinghai Kingdom that scared these princes out of their courage.
But newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. The little emperor had no intention of backing down, and even summoned several senior leaders of the new army for a secret meeting.
In his opinion, those princes could not be trusted.
If he doesn't agree, these princes may directly take him down and replace him with another emperor.
Didn't it mean that my brother Wang Hauge has become very honest during this time?
Maybe they have already contacted each other.
The little emperor's mind was constantly changing, and he immediately targeted Hauge as his enemy.
And those new army leaders were actually very ambitious guys, but they were juniors in the Qing court. Before the death of those old princes, they had no chance to get ahead.
Now His Majesty the Emperor has actually come to visit us. In their eyes, this is undoubtedly a God-given opportunity!
From ancient times to the present, only Conglong has the best skill in the world!
Now His Majesty the Emperor wants to clear up his side, bring order to the chaos, and deal with the Xinghai Kingdom. This is their chance to come forward.
As a result, the two sides hit it off immediately.
A few days later, the young emperor launched a rebellion, mobilized new troops, and wiped out several princes in the dynasty, Baylor, and even some powerful clans.
Of course, considering the stability of the clan and his own base, the young emperor did not directly execute these princes and Baylor, but only gave Hauge a bottle of Crane Crown Red.
When Hauge died, the princes and Baylor were imprisoned, and the children of the Eight Banners had to obey the emperor's orders.
But what the little emperor never expected was that just as his new army of more than 20,000 people left the capital and advanced rapidly towards Zhejiang, Uncle Jiang, Anhui and other places occupied by Xinghai Kingdom, several huge airships slowly Slowly approaching the capital.
The little emperor almost peeed in fear at the sudden appearance of the giant thing in the sky.
The leaflets dropped from the airship were quickly seen by the little emperor.
The meaning is clearly written on the leaflet.
The Qing court should get out immediately, otherwise it will be thrown into chaos!
Well, although the little emperor doesn't know what this egg-breaking thing is, he can still imagine what this airship high in the sky can do?
Not to mention anything else, just by flying in the sky, you can completely ignore the city wall and transport soldiers to any place. It would be even more terrifying if you shoot from above and below.
Although the little emperor wanted to persevere, more than 20,000 new troops were quickly beaten to pieces by the star navy who came ashore and fled back.
Although the new army can put up an extremely powerful formation, to be honest, the Star Navy army doesn't care about your formation at all, and just bombards you with artillery fire.
Under such circumstances, even if the new army hints that they are invincible, it will be of no use.
Fortunately, Xinghai Kingdom has no plans to directly destroy the Qing Dynasty for the time being, so most of the more than 20,000 new troops were able to escape.
Otherwise, the entire army will be destroyed.
Under such pressure, the little emperor could no longer hold on, so he could only invite the prince, Baylor, who was under house arrest, to come out to discuss important matters.
At this time, what major matters are still being discussed?
It was just a matter of discussing how to evacuate the Central Plains and return to their hometown.
Finally, a month later, the Qing court hastily evacuated the capital. The royal family members headed by the young emperor walked at the front under the protection of the new army. Many princes and ministers walked in the middle, and those at the end were the ordinary Eight Banners disciples.
As for the direct troops scattered in various places, they had all been collected back half a month ago and rushed back to their hometowns.
