Daming 1805

Chapter 223 The United States wants to clear the king's side
"Have the ability to solve domestic problems on their own?"

British Prime Minister William Pitt read this sentence in Chinese, looked up at his companions in the cabinet, and said with a strange and tangled expression:
"Daming... expresses his recognition of us? Do you think we are a powerful country in the western continent?"

Foreign Secretary Grenville said with a melancholy expression:
"It does seem to mean this directly, but this sentence obviously needs to be considered in reverse.

"If we don't have the ability to solve America's problems on our own, then we don't deserve to be considered a strong major nation.

"And then you are not qualified to continue to own the overseas colonies of the United States..."

Pete also fully reacted:

"This is the attitude that Daming mentioned in the Mozhou development rules.

"We must be able to maintain the rule in the colony, and if we cannot maintain it, we will transfer it to others...

"Da Ming is not going to take the initiative to help us solve any problems.

"That's right, although Daming is the leader of the League of Nations, we don't regard Daming as the suzerain.

"Compared to Daming, we have no obligations of obedience and cooperation.

"So Daming has no obligation to help us solve domestic problems."

Grenville nodded and said:
"Yes, this is Da Ming's attitude, if you must ask Da Ming for help, you have to pay a price.

"However, Daming promised that he would not support the rebels, this should be credible.

"Leaving the United States and Canada independent easily is not in Ming's interests.

"If we behave too badly, if we directly allow the United States to become independent, Daming may take the initiative to intervene."

Pete waved his hand subconsciously and said:
"But in that case, the conquered America once again belongs to Ming Dynasty, we can't do that.

"Go and contact the French, the United Kingdom is going to cooperate with the French again.

"Form a joint fleet and a joint army, let Mr. Nelson and Bonaparte separately..."

Pete subconsciously wanted Napoleon to command the Allied Army, but he realized that Napoleon was already an enemy.

"If the French don't mind, let Lord Wellesley command the army.

"Contact the legislatures and governors of the southern states of America and authorize them to organize militias against Canadian and Union invasions.

"Demand that they must hold the land south of Virginia until the arrival of reinforcements from the mainland."

The invitation from the British and the response from Ming Dynasty spread to Paris successively.

The Duke of Richelieu and Talleyrand went to meet Louis XVI again.

After reading the news, Louis XVI felt similar to William Pitt, but confessed more:

"What Da Ming meant seems to be to respect our strength, but it doesn't make any sense..."

The Duke of Richelieu and Talleyrand also nodded together:
"Yes, it doesn't make sense. Essentially, I just don't want to help."

"And it's more of a warning and a taunt than a respect."

The monarchs and ministers discussed for a while and came to a conclusion similar to that of the British.

In the end, it was also a decision to try to solve the problem by myself first.

Finally, the Duke of Richelieu proposed:
"The British want to cooperate with us to suppress the rebels, which I think is acceptable.

"However, the generals of the navy and army cannot all be British. The navy can have British General Nelson as the commander-in-chief, and our French general Villeneuve as the deputy commander-in-chief.

"But the army commander should be French, and without Napoleon we would not have no generals available.

"It would be possible to have General Desai as Commander-in-Chief, General Davout as Deputy, and Berthier as Chief of Staff.

"Honor Arthur Wellesley of Great Britain as deputy commander in chief."

The generals who grew up during the World Wars, like Napoleon, Desai and Davout, rose to fame in their thirties.

With the strong influence of Ming Dynasty's culture, soldiers of non-noble and minor noble origin also have a certain room for improvement.

And it didn't allow most of the revolutionaries from the bottom to occupy the top, as in the French Revolution, which angered most of the traditional aristocrats in the entire West.

This kind of long-term compromise and peace negotiation between different social classes is the key to the royal families of various countries being able to continue to maintain their rule and to maintain the sustainable development of social structure and technology.

French generals who are not senior nobles such as Napoleon, Desai, Davout, Berthier, etc., came out in this situation.

In the original history, Desai was shot while riding a horse, and died young as a result.

The world's technology is accelerating, and when the world war broke out, the commanders had no chance to charge on horseback.

Coupled with the absence of wars related to the French Revolution, Desai's fate trajectory has also changed.

Desai survived normally, and is more famous than the original history.

If Napoleon is still there, France's current strongest army general is Napoleon.

Napoleon ran away, and the French selected among the remaining generals, and Desai, who was born as a traditional aristocrat, became the best candidate.

To be on the safe side, Davout, who was born in a minor noble, and Berthier, the best chief of staff, were added.

Desai was Napoleon's close friend in the original history, Berthier was Napoleon's chief of staff, and Davout was the commander of Napoleon's Imperial Guard.

Now the three of them, together with Napoleon's opponent, Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, went to attack Napoleon.

Louis XVI had no idea at all, and Duke Richelieu's plan was relatively safe, so he nodded directly.

So Britain and France began to contact and negotiate the details of joint operations.

The two sides had already cooperated during the anti-Ming alliance, and it has only been more than a year since they separated. Most of the personnel are familiar with each other, and the formation of the command group was completed very quickly.

The organization of the troops began to be entrusted to the officers.

At the same time, Northern Yinzhou.

The troops of the new Canadian king, Napoleon I, are continuing their raids in Canada.

The Northern Army of the United States, which Napoleon cooperated with, also continued to attack the northern part of the United States.

No actual large-scale war broke out.

Most of the northern cities in Canada and the United States, although it cannot be said that they are waiting for the wind, they can almost be regarded as "depending on the call".

The remaining Canadian regions in this world are basically the Great Lakes region that originally belonged to the United States in history.

This was originally the main industrial area in the north of Yinzhou. Under the pressure of industrial dumping from Britain and France, it had a higher tendency towards independence.

After France ceded the north of the Great Lakes, immigrants from the north of the Great Lakes moved south of the Great Lakes at the same time.

This has led to a sudden increase in the labor force in the area south of the Great Lakes, and it has become easier for factory owners to recruit workers, and the level of wages paid has naturally decreased accordingly.

The factory owners and investors who migrated from the areas north of the Great Lakes brought funds that caused hyperinflation in the markets south of the Great Lakes for a short time.

The combination of the two has rapidly reduced the living standard of the entire French Canada and accumulated dissatisfaction among the locals.

The news about the Quebec teaching plan once again exposes the face of the church that maintains social stability.

The conflict in the Canadian region has been pushed to the breaking point.

Everywhere there are slogans for independence.

It was Napoleon who brought [-] elite troops to suppress, and barely maintained the stability of the Canadian region.

Now Napoleon has instigated most of the troops, and he himself shouted slogans for independence, which immediately aroused large-scale followers and echoes.

Napoleon, a general, proclaimed himself king, which is difficult to be accepted in traditional Western culture.

However, Taixi in this world has received the cultural influence of Ming Dynasty, and more or less knows that princes and generals have kindness.

In addition, the reputation of the church in Canada was already rotten, so Napoleon did not seek the church to be crowned.

Napoleon directly proclaimed himself king, and at the same time he also referred to the Chinese tradition and sealed off his officials.

The generals who followed him basically all directly obtained titles and military ranks of different levels.

The original officials from all over Canada, if they are willing to join directly, will also get officials and titles.

Most of the immigrants in the colonies were of commoner origin, and even if there were nobles, most of them were down-and-out nobles and minor nobles.

Napoleon's Dongfang City operation directly gave ordinary people the opportunity to become nobles.

There is also the opportunity to become a high-ranking officer, a chance to become a high-ranking military officer and even a general and a marshal.

And this time there are two new countries, Canada and the United States.

There are not a large number of old nobles occupying the pit, and there are a large number of nobles, high officials, and military ranks that can be sold.

Napoleon sealed ten marshals and ten dukes in one breath, one governor for each state, and more middle and low-level nobles, generals, and officials.

Except for a small number of small nobles who joined, most of these canonized people were of commoner origin.

At the same time, Napoleon announced religious tolerance, no longer restricting the sects of the residents' beliefs, all eligible to become citizens.

Napoleon declared independence in compliance with the conflicts that were already on the verge of eruption, established a country, and confided it like a wholesale sale, allowing his regime to quickly stabilize the basic market.

The early actions were basically staking the land, and the receiving action basically encountered no obvious resistance.

Sporadic skirmishes broke out only occasionally when some die-hard old aristocratic officials and officers were encountered somewhere.

But it is usually resolved quickly, because independence and joining the new kingdom are the mainstream, and opponents are often directly resolved by those around him.

The generals who followed Napoleon rejoiced at this, and finally knew how cool it is to build a new country in the Chinese style.

But Napoleon and Adams were not letting up.

They all knew that the battle to decide the fate of the nascent nation would soon come.

It was not a war with the suppressing crusades of England and mainland France, but a war against Virginia and the states to the south.

The American region south of Virginia is an important source of grain and industrial raw materials.

If these areas cannot be captured, the development ceiling of the newborn country will be severely limited.

Only by fully integrating these places can we have a chance to become a powerful country surpassing Britain and France.

In the name of Queen Charlotte, Napoleon and Adams demanded that Virginia and the states to the south be obedient.

Let the local militia disarm and accept the reorganization of the generals sent by Napoleon.

Cease contact with the British mainland and reject the British mainland's orders.

In the future, they will directly pay taxes to the Royal Government of New York and so on.

A week after the relevant news was sent out, eight southern states—Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi—responded on the same day, exactly the same.

They've obviously been in touch.

The state assemblies were the first to recognize Queen Charlotte's status.

Then he denounced Adams as a shameful rebel, a national traitor, a usurper, and a traitor, and refused to accept Adams's "correction".

It is required that Adams must immediately stop all rebellion, catch him without a fight, and accept the trial of the kingdom.

Immediately send three members of the royal family, including Queen Charlotte, to Richmond.

Immediately release all Southern members of the American Congress.

Immediately expel the French rebels led by Napoleon.

Otherwise, the eight states in the south will jointly form the "Volunteer Militia", "North Shangqin King" and "Qing Emperor's Side".
