Daming 1805

Chapter 236 Sudden Realization of Being the Representative of Daming

Napoleon's heart was not as peaceful as it appeared on the surface.

Even feeling a little aggrieved and angry.

Napoleon felt that if he completely followed his inner thoughts, he should directly drive out the traitor Stangton.

He immediately continued his military operations, and after integrating the existing British and French colonies, he directly turned his guns to Ming Dynasty.

Capture all of Ming's colonies in Yinzhou.

The country that controls the entire Northern Yinzhou is the country that has the real chance to become a world empire.

But I can't do that myself.

If it weren't for the conservative and cautious people of Daming, the entire Taixi would not be able to consume Daming together.

If the world war hadn't ended like this, the entire western continent might have fallen.

The power he currently controls is not worth mentioning in front of Daming.

Daming knows that a country that controls the entire Northern Yinzhou can become an empire that challenges its status.

Only then would he encourage himself to rebel while interfering in the situation in Yinzhou to control the scale of the country he established.

Even the integration of British and French colonies is not allowed.

The future size of his own country has been strictly restricted by Daming.

But I have no power to resist this restriction.

Daming is a colossal monster, a colossal monster that no one can fight against, pressing down on the whole world.

No one can beat him from the outside, unless something goes wrong on the inside.

Only when the internal contradictions broke out in the Ming Dynasty, would he have the opportunity to build an empire covering the entire Northern Yinzhou.

Napoleon stared at Staunton for a long time, and when he saw that Staunton was a little hairy, he asked again:

"What if Britain and France come up with enough conditions to invite Ming to join the war after being defeated by me?"

Staunton was a little flustered by Napoleon.

But when I heard this question, I immediately laughed.

Although Napoleon was a "hero" and a terrifying beast, he could only restrain his minions in front of Daming.

Stangton immediately felt that he was still too restless.

Now I represent Daming's will, and no one who is rational dares to really embarrass himself.

Even the foreign ministers of other Western countries may not have this status.

And I am just a fan of Xichang.

Staunton sorted out his mood and explained with a smile:
"Da Ming is a kingdom of the heavens, not a barbarian, and everyone in the court must pay attention to credibility.

"If Daming reaches an agreement with you, then unless there is force majeure, we will abide by it as much as possible.

"In other words, Daming will no longer intervene in the war between you and Britain and France."

Napoleon thought about it.

Agreeing to Ming's conditions, the Michigan area west of the line connecting the southernmost end of Michigan Hu and the mouth of the Mobile River in the Gulf of Mexico, the Michigan area north of the line connecting the southern end of Michigan Hu and the southern end of Lake Erie, plus Long Island and the Chesapeake Peninsula were handed over to Ming.

Then keep all the currently occupied areas independent, then the area of ​​​​the country you establish will not be smaller than the previous French Canada, and may even be larger.

And with more coastline, the territory as a whole moved eastward.

Just lost the important iron ore producing area.

This is the price for Daming to stop interfering.

It was just the price for Daming not to intervene.

Napoleon was silent for a long time, and finally nodded:
"If Ming no longer interferes with Canada, I can accept these conditions.

"However, these lands cannot be handed over to Daming immediately.

"When the war between us and Britain and France ends, Britain and France recognize Canada's independence, and Ming also publicly recognizes it.

"We can transfer the ownership of those lands to Daming."

Stangton frowned slightly. Napoleon was bargaining, asking for guarantees and promises.

To prevent Daming from turning his face and denying people after directly acquiring the land:
"I need to ask His Royal Highness Prince Dashi of Daming for instructions."

Napoleon nodded directly:
"can."

Stendon returned to his residence and recorded the process of communicating with Napoleon.

After streamlining and refining the content, use the portable radio equipment to send it to the peripheral West Factory personnel.

The corresponding personnel forwarded the content to Honglusi and Zhu Jingyuan's offices again.

Seeing the result of the discussion between Sidangdong and Napoleon, Zhu Jingyuan nodded lightly without expression.

So far, the agreement with Britain and France, as well as the agreement with Napoleon, have determined the ownership of the land they claim.

In other words, no matter what the outcome of the final war is, no matter how Britain, France and Napoleon compete or compromise.

Daming's interests have been guaranteed.

As for Napoleon's request to hand over the land after the war, of course it is impossible to agree unconditionally.

After Zhu Jingyuan thought about it for a while, he asked Niu Jian to write a reply to Napoleon:

"First, if the war ends within five years and Britain and France recognize Canada's independence within five years, then most of the inland land can be handed over at the end of the war.

"Second, if the war lasts for more than five years, or if Britain and France never recognize Canada's status, then Canada should hand over the corresponding land within six years.

"Please ask Napoleon to let his soldiers withdraw voluntarily, and let Ming's troops directly enter the corresponding area.

"Third, the above agreement does not include Long Island and the Chesapeake Peninsula, these two areas must be transferred to Daming as soon as possible.

"The same plan of deploying Ming troops and withdrawing troops controlled by Napoleon."

Zhu Jingyuan's message was delivered to Napoleon the next day.

After Napoleon read it, he nodded without much thought.

Including the Chesapeake Peninsula and Long Island, the area north of Virginia in the United States was not directly controlled by Napoleon himself.

That was the territory of the industrial and mining groups in northern America represented by Adams.

For the time being, the group represented by Napoleon and Adams still has a cooperative relationship, and they even temporarily belong to the two countries in name.

Napoleon was King of Canada and Adams was Duke of Massachusetts of the Kingdom of America.

Napoleon's own basic territory does not need to be ceded for the time being, and he is not very sensitive to Long Island and the Chesapeake Peninsula.

Moreover, handing over Long Island and the Chesapeake Peninsula to Ming puts the safety of northern America directly at risk from Ming, and can also increase the local people's overall dependence on Canada.

When Napoleon's decision was sent to New York City, the Adams and Sons nearly jumped their feet

The younger Quincy Adams howled directly:

"There are 60 people in Kings County (Brooklyn) and Queens County (Queens) on Long Island!

"There's also the Chesapeake Peninsula, including the entire state of Delaware and half of Maryland..."

Brooklyn and Queens on Long Island were not merged into New York City at this time, and the two places were not yet New York districts, but two independent counties belonging to the entire New York State, named King and Queen.

When John Adams, the father, calmed down a little bit, he calmed down quickly:
"Napoleon sold more land. The three states of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois have a total of nearly 40 square kilometers of land. The total population may be more than that of Long Island and the Chesapeake Peninsula.

"These lands and ports are the price in exchange for Ming not interfering in our War of Independence..."

Quincy is still a bit cranky:

"However, Long Island is very close to Manhattan, less than a kilometer in total.

"Da Ming puts up artillery on the west side of Long Island, and it can destroy the whole of Manhattan."

Adams waved his hand and said:

"If Long Island is not handed over to Da Ming, will Da Ming have no way to destroy Manhattan?
"Having a direct and close contact with Daming may not be beneficial to our development.

"It can be used as a window for direct communication with Daming, and it can introduce Daming's technology and equipment.

"I think it's very difficult for us to really rule the South, and the country we want to build doesn't have all the resources.

"Our subsequent development will definitely be highly dependent on foreign trade, and Daming will obviously become an important trading partner.

"At the same time, Daming will not drive out the locals again this time, and there will be a large number of Taixi people in both places.

"They are of the same kind as us, as long as they still live in these places, there may not be a chance to take them back in the future.

"We don't have the ability to resist now, we can only hope that there will be problems within Daming in the future..."

Quincy was silent.

Cuba, Havana.

On the mainland of Yinzhou opposite Cuba, from Florida to Texas, this piece of coastline belongs to Ming Dynasty.

But on such a long coastline, there are no particularly good ports, especially deep-water ports for battleships to dock.

On the north and south sides of Cuba Island, although there are also some lagoon coasts, the range does not completely cover Cuba Island.

The east and west ends of the island have rocky coastlines facing the deep sea, and there are several ports with a water depth of more than [-] meters.

There are also several bays with big mouths, including Havana, Santiago, Guantanamo, Cienfuegos, Nuevitas, Preston and so on.

Due to the lack of sufficient economic hinterland, it is difficult for these ports to grow in size, but they are all very suitable as military ports.

In addition, the geographical location of Cuba Island is particularly important, and it is a "golden key" to control the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, and even the waters of Zhongyinzhou.

So Ming put the naval headquarters in the Northern Yinzhou area in Havana on the island of Cuba.

At the same time, Havana and Santiago, the two cities that once served as the capital of Cuba in history, were chosen as the fleet stations in the Yinzhou area.

One is staring at the Gulf of Mexico and the North Yinzhou continent, and the other is staring at the Caribbean Sea and the South Yinzhou continent.

Due to the turbulent situation in Yinzhou, all the troops sent to Yinzhou received special instructions.

All units remain on high alert and take turns going directly to combat alert.

After the Emperor Ming's order was sent to Havana by telegram, the fleet on standby was dispatched immediately.

The fleet crossed the Florida Strait and headed north along the east coastline of Beiyinzhou.

Two days later, the fleet reached the coast of Virginia and parted off the Chesapeake Bay.

One fleet entered the Chesapeake Bay and entered the port of Norfolk, and the other continued north into New York Bay.
