Daming 1805

Chapter 130 You are not qualified to discuss peace.

The British are serious about the deal.

Through the agreement between Spain and Ming Dynasty, South Tianzhu was exchanged for the Central Yinzhou area.

British Prime Minister William Pitt Jr. believed that this was indeed a deal conducive to peace.

Pete even laughed at himself in his heart. This may be the first time that the British sincerely hope for peace and are sincerely working for peace.

Then he was resolutely rejected by Zhu Jingyuan.

After Peter was stunned for a few seconds, he couldn't bear the impulse in his heart, and instinctively asked Zhu Jingyuan loudly:

"Your Highness—you have claimed many times before that you came for peace.

"The deal proposed by the UK is obviously more conducive to peace, but you directly rejected it.

"Therefore, peace is only that which pleases you.

"Isn't it peace that doesn't satisfy you?"

Pete's voice was relatively loud, and it had completely turned into a question after he said it.

The scene also fell silent, and everyone looked at Zhu Jingyuan together.

European and American countries felt that Pete had expressed his thoughts, so they wanted to see how Zhu Jingyuan would explain it.

It is he who gave up the so-called peaceful slogan, but what kind of reasons are used to paper it.

The representative of Daming is going to decide whether to help deal with it or not based on Zhu Jingyuan's reaction.

Listening to Pete's questioning, Zhu Jingyuan frowned and thought about it for a moment, then nodded very seriously:
"Yes, what Mr. Pete said is very reasonable. Only the peace that I, Ming, recognize is the real and meaningful peace.

"Peace that cannot satisfy Da Ming is meaningless peace, and it is all false peace."

The place became even quieter.

The representatives of the Thai and Western countries all grew their mouths.

I feel that I have never seen such a direct and domineering Ming Dynasty diplomat.

Daming's representative was also stunned.

His Royal Highness is really...too simple and rude...

Even if you are telling the truth, the reality of this world, you should cover it up a little bit.

However, before Zhu Jingyuan finished speaking, Zhu Jingyuan moved forward slightly, pointed at William Pitt and said:
"Don't think I'm bossy, I'm just stating the facts.

"If the world wants peace, it must obtain Da Ming's permission.

"Think about it seriously, can peace that is not recognized by Da Ming really be considered peace?

"Is it really possible to maintain the peace that damages Daming's interests? Can you enjoy it with peace of mind?
"You guys might as well think about it differently, if you were the representative of Ming Dynasty, or if your country had the status of Ming Dynasty, what would you do?
"Recognizing this reality and figuring out what real peace is is the only way to truly benefit world peace.

"Before you do anything, you'd better think about whether Da Ming will accept it, and whether Da Ming will object.

"If Daming will definitely object, you'd better not do it.

"If you are not sure, you might as well ask directly, anyway, there is already a telegram now.

"I want to build an alliance of countries all over the world. One of the main purposes is to give you a platform to ask what Ming means at any time."

At the end of Zhu Jingyuan's speech, needles could be heard on the scene.

Everyone is speechless.

Really nothing to say.

That's really what it is.

What is peace that is not recognized by Ming Dynasty?
The countries of Thailand and the West can throw off Daming and call for "peace" by themselves, but it is obviously impossible to have real peace.

Otherwise, why did they ask Daming to negotiate?
Zhu Jingyuan mentioned several times that the war should be ceased on the current front, but no country was willing to accept it.

This is to find out what Daming's demands are.

It is to satisfy the interests of Ming Dynasty, and only then can there be real peace.

The logic of Zhu Jingyuan's words is actually the principle of "unity of great powers" in later generations.

But the real big country in this world is Ming.

Therefore, the foundation of international relations in this world will naturally evolve into the principle of Da Ming's approval.

Only things approved by Daming can be done.

Ming wants to establish an international alliance, a platform that can always display the majesty of Ming, which is indeed conducive to world peace.

Because this platform can really avoid many conflicts.

Seeing that no one spoke, Zhu Jingyuan finally added a very heart-rending sentence:
"Before your Rome crawls out of the grave, you are not qualified to discuss with Daming what is real peace."

After saying these words, the atmosphere on the scene changed again.

Members of the royal family of several countries, representatives of several countries, and more ordinary diplomats experienced strong emotional fluctuations.

They all opened their eyes wide and clenched their fists, imagining a direction.

Direction to Rome.

Zhu Jingyuan raised his hand to Rome as a matter of course.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was almost brewing, Zhu Jingyuan cleared his throat and proposed the final peace conditions to Spain:

"Spain now has three options.

"First, hand over the Nanyin Continent, which has long been full of wind and smoke, together with the ownership of the Panama region, as well as the strongholds that Spain still occupies in these regions, to Daming, and sign a 20-year peace treaty.

"Second, on the basis of the above conditions, add the entire Antilles and the entire Texas area, and give up the development and occupation of the area north of Texas and west of Mihe, and sign an indefinite peace treaty.

"Third, continue the war now."

It is not impossible to sign a permanent peace treaty, as long as Ming does not declare war on its own initiative, it will not be considered a breach of contract.

In the history of the two worlds that Zhu Jingyuan knows, there are too many examples of "peaceful" annexation of other countries.

You can encourage the opponent's colonies to become independent, and after independence, declare war on the newly born countries that have not signed the contract.

It can support or even take the initiative to transport the rebels, so that the rebels can become their own vassals after a successful rebellion.

Economic means can also be used to force the internal situation of the opponent to collapse, or conversely, to declare war on its own initiative.

At the same time, before Yinzhou is completely controlled, it is also of practical value to retain a Thai-Western immigrant country or colony.

When exterminating the Nanyinzhou rebels, those native Thais needed a place to go, and it was too difficult to clean them up directly.

Taking a step back, as long as the interests are large enough, it is not impossible to voluntarily tear up the treaty.

The representative of Spain listened to the three options, compared them a little carefully, and was obviously taken aback.

Spanish Prime Minister Manuel instinctively asked:

"What does His Royal Highness Prince Dashi mean? Why did the conditions proposed by Daming change again?
"Before, it was obvious that we only wanted the entire Antilles, or the Lesser Antilles plus Texas.

"Now how do you claim the entire Antilles and Texas at the same time?"

Zhu Jingyuan responded blankly:

"Because I'm not in a good mood now, I now hope that you will choose 20 years of peace, and it is best to choose to continue the war.

"I can repeat it again, I personally support the continuation of the war.

"Not just against Spain, but against Portugal, England, France, the Netherlands.

"We Da Ming may not be able to directly occupy your homeland for the time being, but can you threaten our Da Ming's homeland?
"So, the war we're going to fight next is just a war for colonies.

"And I personally support war, which is not inconsistent with my pursuit of peace.

"It seems to me that the most lasting peace can only be brought about by total and total war, in which one side is utterly destroyed.

"Now that we are fighting a colonial war, let's fight until one of our colonies collapses.

"As for whether your royal rule will collapse, it has nothing to do with me, Ming.

"You can rest assured that even if there is a day, we will still not interfere with your local affairs.

"I will only take the colonies we need.

"Okay, my conditions are given, and you have ten days to make a choice."

The Spaniard's expression froze again.

The expressions of the other Tessi representatives were also ugly.

This Prince Daming who is only 15 years old can always easily make people understand what pain is.

The most real and unbearable things will be smashed, spread out, and placed in front of everyone.

Prince Fernando of Spain, who hadn't spoken since the beginning, seemed to be angry from embarrassment at this time.

He slapped the table hard, stood up abruptly and shouted loudly:
"Since Da Ming wants to go to war, then we Spain would rather continue the war with Da Ming and accompany you to the last moment!"

Zhu Jingyuan was very happy and loudly applauded:

"Okay, very good, very spirited, who else? Who else wants to continue the war?
"If the rest of you make the same choice, then our negotiations will be over.

"Everyone can go back to the country directly, and rearrange the troops to go to the front line."

As a result, no one responded.

A representative of the royal family wanted to stand up, but was stopped by the ministers around him.

Zhu Jingyuan was really looking forward to it now, they all ran away in a rage, and then the two sides continued to fight in Yinzhou and Tianzhu.

This possibility is also real.

In the past, it was possible for low-level colonial wars, or even continental wars in Europe, to last for several years or even ten years.

But if the current war continues for another ten years.

Then Ming's strategic bombers, high-speed battleships, and aircraft carriers should all run around.

Spanish Prime Minister Manuel stood up and grabbed his prince, but also looked at Zhu Jingyuan indifferently:
"His Royal Highness, we in Spain have not made a final decision, we need time to consider and negotiate."

Manuel didn't directly veto his prince's words, but just asked for a buffer time for discussion and confirmation.

The final decision on whether to continue the war must be consulted with their king.

The ruthless words that their prince uttered at the scene actually didn't count.

Of course Zhu Jingyuan understands this logic, so at this moment he waved his hand indifferently and said:
"It's still ten days, tell me your choice within ten days, or leave directly and let the war continue.

"The same is true for other countries. If you want to continue the war, you can leave directly, and you don't have to come over and say harsh words!"

Having said that, Zhu Jingyuan looked at the Portuguese:
"Our Ming wants to get the whole Southern Yinzhou, so Portugal wants to hand over the whole Brazilian colony.

"If you Portugal can't accept it, you can choose to continue the war like Spain.

Details of Portugal's Prince Jose's deadpan inquiry:
"Isn't that supposed to be a condition of permanent peace? So what are the terms of peace for 20 years?"

Zhu Jingyuan already had a plan in mind, so he answered him directly at this time:

"Hand over the entire Yajiang River Basin and the entire Brazilian plateau, and you only keep the plains in the southeast coastal area."

Prince Jose nodded slightly:

"We will make a decision within ten days."

　Today, the state barely recovered, but in the afternoon, a bunch of bad things happened in reality, and the computer broke down again at night, which wasted a lot of time.
