Daming 1805

Chapter 141 Pete is our British Qin Hui!
Liu Yi, a Turghut youth who was stranded in Lucia, came to Xianbei Principality and came out of the messy station.

When I looked up, I saw a bustling and busy scene, and there were construction sites everywhere.

On the bustling streets, there are newsboys running back and forth, shouting in Ming dialect while trotting:

"Daming Daily! Today's Daming Daily!"

"The peace treaty is officially signed..."

"The Great Ming took all of Southern Yinzhou, and the overall situation of Northern Yinzhou has been decided..."

"Xiyi has accumulatively compensated 300 million Daming gold notes..."

"The World War is officially over..."

"The formation meeting of the World Alliance is about to be held..."

Pedestrians on the street heard the shout, and many people also exclaimed.

Many people stopped and turned their heads one after another, listening to the specific content of the newsboy's shout, many people called the newsboy to ask for a newspaper.

After riding the train for two days, Liu Yi was obviously stunned when he heard the news.

Without any hesitation, Liu Yi immediately ran over, took out some Lucia banknotes, and asked for a newspaper.

Standing on the side of the street, while reading the details of the newspaper, he shook his head with an excited expression:
"This is amazing... With so many sites and more than 600 tons of gold, how could this Xiyi recognize it..."

As a result, someone next to him immediately took up the conversation:
"What else can I do if I don't recognize it? They can't hold on anymore, they continue to resist, and just wait for the people to rise up."

Liu Yi turned his head subconsciously, and saw a middle-aged man with a Taixi face, but Daming Yayan's accent was purer than his own:

"Then why can Daming survive?"

The Taixi middle-aged man laughed dryly and said:
"It has been analyzed in the newspapers, and the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is still strong. The industrial accumulation of 150 years is not comparable to that of Taixi.

"In terms of industrial technology, production capacity, imperial wealth, national population, quantity and quality, which one can Taixi compare with Daming?

"From the beginning of the war, I judged that as long as Da Ming is not pushed away from the mainland by a wave of Thai and Western countries, otherwise it will be a victory for Da Ming.

"In the end, it became a war of attrition, but I never imagined that Daming could get so much at the negotiating table.

"This is all talked about by a 15-year-old grandson of the emperor, and those diplomats in Taixi are all useless.

"In order to keep their crown, the royal families of the Thai and Western countries really don't want any face..."

Liu Yi was speechless in a daze, and continued to read the newspaper in his hand, which contained more detailed analysis.

As a result, this person didn't stop, he kept talking beside Liu Yi, saying that he had said how, how, before.

Wherever you go, there are people at the head of the government...

Liu Yi looked at the information in the newspaper. In addition to major international events, there were also a lot of local news and local conditions.

The exchange of immigrants between the Lucia Empire and the Xianbei Principality has been highlighted.

Liu Yi has been secretly worried about this matter, which is of course a good thing in the long run.

Let Xianbei Principality and Lucia completely cut off.

But in the short term, it may not be a good thing. Immigrants may not be willing to emigrate. It is only a trivial matter, and what is more serious is the destruction.

Under the rough treatment of those soldiers, those Great Lucia elements may not all take the initiative to expose.

If someone endured it and continued to lurk inside the Principality of Xianbei, waiting for an opportunity to cause chaos and destruction, what should they do...

This is what has happened throughout history...

At this moment, a violent explosion suddenly sounded in the crowd not far ahead.

Several people around were directly blown away, then bled all over, and fell to the ground like torn bags, seemingly dead.

Immediately, screams erupted from the crowd, and the surrounding workers, pedestrians, and immigrants immediately scattered and fled.

Patrolling guards wearing Ming military uniforms immediately stopped to maintain order...

Liu Yi widened his eyes, looked at the broken corpses, and muttered in a daze:

"This... starts..."

At noon that day, at the suggestion of the Daming Warlord, the prefect of Xianbei City and the Commander of the Three Western Xianbei Guards jointly ordered that the entire city of Xianbei be under martial law.

They began to go door-to-door to force registration of household registration, and at the same time collected civilian explosives, guns and ammunition.

England, House of London, the sun is just rising.

The fog in the city mixed with the morning fog, making the whole of London seem to be covered with a veil.

In this hazy layer of veil, workers hurried on the streets, and postmen and newsboys ran in the morning light.

The crisp voices of the newsboys spread through the mist to the surroundings.

Pedestrians turned their heads in astonishment, and then heaved a long sigh of relief.

The news of the formal signing of the peace treaty also spread rapidly this morning among most ordinary people.

But for most ordinary people, this is not bad news.

Britain did not win, but only lost a few distant colonies.

The swamps of the Florida Peninsula and the ice floes in Hudson Bay have nothing to do with ordinary people.

Reparations are not unbearable for Britain.

The point is that the world, which has been tense by war for more than ten years, is finally about to relax quickly.

The financial resources and energy of the entire country will be turned to stabilizing the social order.

There is no need to spend a lot of resources on producing guns and ammunition, things that cannot be eaten or worn.

The simple reduction of military spending in the next few years may be enough to pay the compensation of the 1000 million Ming gold notes.

The lives of ordinary people should be able to slowly improve.

Of course, for many people, this is not good news.

In a cafe by the side of the street, a few "British gentlemen" in silk robes were reading a newspaper and cursing.

"Pete is indeed a traitor!"

"Pete is our British Qin Hui and Jia Sidao!"

"I would like to ask His Majesty the King to cast a statue of Peter kneeling and put it in front of Number [-] Downing Street!"

"My estate, the vacation estate I built on the beach in Florida, can I still keep it!"

"If you are from Daming, even if it is Daming's dog, you can keep it."

"But unfortunately, you are not."

"Is there any way to get Daming's residency?"

"Don't fantasize about it. Italians and Spaniards may pretend to be Hu people. We Brits and Nordics are typical white people, and our status is only a little higher than black ghosts. Daming doesn't want it at all."

"Fack, the whole Hudson's Bay Company is gone, my stock..."

"There is still compensation, His Majesty will definitely increase the tax."

"We're going to organize MPs to protest."

"Can tax increases be added to the American colonies?"

"Yes, it should be added to the colony."

At the same time, King George III of England was also reading newspapers in his manor.

Although I have seen the conditions of the peace treaty, although I already know that those conditions are actually unacceptable.

But the 67-year-old King George III was already a little mentally ill, and now he is particularly irritable and tired of reading these articles.

In addition, in the past few months, information and articles related to Pete have been appearing quite frequently and intensively.

All kinds of overt or covert analyzes have lifted Pete to a very weird position, vaguely comparable to Lord Protector Cromwell.

The point is, there are just as many articles, constantly describing and recording the intimate interaction and communication between Peter and Prince Daming.

Photos of the two laughing together and toasting each other are often seen in front of George III.

George III has considered several times in his heart whether to remove Pitt as prime minister.

Just considering the current bad situation, considering that Peter is indeed very talented, George III had to forcibly endure the impulse.

Now looking at the final peace agreement again, thinking about the possible situations in the parliament and the cabinet, George III has officially made a decision.

When Pete comes back, let him go, and by the way, bear the responsibility of ceding the land and paying compensation, so as to appease the anger of investors whose interests have been damaged.

After making a decision in his heart, the old king didn't want to bear it for a moment.

He directly wrote down Pete's dismissal order in person, and signed his name directly, but did not write the date for the time being.

When all the negotiations are over, write the date of the next day on it, and send it directly.

As time passed, the morning and evening line continued to move westward, and the British and French colonies in the east of Yinzhou also won a new morning.

In several major cities, the news in the newspapers quickly spread among the people, arousing the common indignation of Americans.

New York, the capital of the American colony, on Manhattan Island, on Longacre Square.

A middle-aged man stood on an advertising platform and gave a loud speech with a roaring voice:

"Stupid, cowardly, lazy British, they betrayed us at last!
"Florida, our warmest sunny beach in the United States, will belong to Daming in the future.

"The future of Americans is completely locked in.

"West of the Mississippi River, the vast fertile plains will have nothing to do with us in the United States in the future!
"The entire Mississippi River, the natural waterway we were once proud of, will also belong to Ming Dynasty in the future.

"My God, the dividing line that the British talked about is not even the middle line of the waterway, but the entire river surface belongs to Daming.

"We Americans are not allowed to enter Mississippi!
"In the future, America will no longer belong to us America, but to the Ming Empire that defeated the British!

"There is also the most critical reparation, no doubt the British will pass it on to us Americans!

"We industrious, hard-working, down-to-earth Americans will use our blood and sweat to pay for the stupidity of the British!

"Look at our neighbors, look at the west side of the American continent, which is the colony of Ming Dynasty.

"What was Ming's colony like?
"Da Ming has granted citizenship to all immigrants!

"And in the future, in any of the colonies of Ming, as long as they are immigrants from Daming, all of them will have the citizenship of Ming!
"All Daming people, no matter where they are, are Daming people.

"And we Americans will always be only British colonies, and will always be British dogs!
"We can't go on like this, we have to change this!"

The speech of the middle-aged man aroused the spiritual resonance of a large number of passing Americans.

Many people stopped and listened.

Many people roared along with him.

Many people then cursed the British.

Some people shouted that it is better to be Ming's dog than to be a colony of the British.

Many people shouted that the damn British should be abandoned, and the Americans should stand on their own.

The entire square was full of anger, and more and more people gathered.

The police patrolling the square were going to stop the middle-aged man who was giving a speech.

As a result, after hearing the content of the speech clearly, he finally watched silently from the side.

At the same time, in an office not far away, three senior members of the American Colonial Assembly were also discussing the situation together.

They were John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison.

Jefferson put a telegram on top of a newspaper:
"According to the news sent by Monroe, Daming gave a clearer signal at that time.

"If we in the United States pursue independence, Ming Dynasty will definitely support it."

Madison said with a wry smile:
"There is no doubt about it, Da Ming won a complete victory in this negotiation and has become the absolute world leader.

"The next strategic goal is to weaken the British and French who have a little energy.

"He's just using us."

The oldest Adams said with a sad expression:
"The British... no, not just the British, both the French and the British may raise taxes in the American colonies for compensation to Ming.

"The current atmosphere in the colony is already raging, and as long as someone 'revolts', a war will break out immediately.

"But this time the battlefield is no longer Germany, no longer India, no longer Dashi, but us, the United States and Canada..."

Madison closed her eyes and sighed:
"But... we Americans have no choice, the French may make Canada mainland, the British have no such possibility at all.

"Even if we remain indifferent, it is very likely that other activists will instigate action, and the Revolutionary War may break out at any time."

Jefferson frowned and considered for a while:

"With the industrial strength of our United States, even after we become completely independent, we will not be weaker than Austria and Italy.

"But the question is, does Ming really purely support our independence to weaken Britain, or does it want to annex us after our independence?"

Madison said with a straight face:

"We can only ask Monroe to contact Daming and continue to find out about the other party's Daming. Can he make a similar promise not to occupy the mainland of Taixi?"

Several delegates nodded slightly, and then Adams said:

"There is also a very critical question, if we succeed in establishing an independent American empire, who will be the emperor?
"Are you going to find a member of the royal family on the European continent?"

Jefferson shook his head directly:

"Then it's better to find a Prince Daming to be the emperor... just be the king.

"With Prince Daming as king, the United States will at least be on an equal footing with the British in the League of Nations.

"It's just that it may cause us to become a vassal state of Ming Dynasty."

The other two representatives shook their heads and felt worried.

The three former founding fathers of the United States have time and environmental limitations in this world.

In an environment where the monarchy is popular and the republic is sinking and collapsing, and under the circumstances that enlightenment is widely popular.

They never thought of adopting a republic system, and they ended up having trouble with the monarch.

In the end, after discussing for a long time, there was no result.
