Daming 1805

The mutinies and riots in Rome seemed to be a signal to begin, like a flame falling on a haystack.

The melee that lasted for three years has caused all industries in the western continent to wither, and the living conditions of ordinary people in many places have been stretched to the limit.

Excluding the British isolated on the island, there are now only three independent countries left on the entire continent of Europe: Lucia, Germany, and Italy.

Except for the core areas of these three countries, other areas are colonies of the three countries.

These de facto colonial groups are marginalized groups in the systems of the three countries, and they are the most severely exploited and controlled.

After the industrial age and the second industrial revolution, the mobilization capabilities of industrial countries increased significantly.

Able to mobilize or even control more than ten percent of the population for war.

This was unimaginable in classical times.

However, this squeeze on the power of the country and the people has also reached the same unprecedented peak.

In the agricultural era, the country could not control the entire population in the country, nor could it accurately control the residents of all regions, but industrial countries could do it.

Men have to go to the battlefield to serve as soldiers or servants, and women have to work in factories to produce military supplies.

No one can escape the highly cohesive state apparatus.

In fact, even the core ethnic groups at the core of the three major countries of Lucia, Germany, and Italy are definitely not in good condition.

These three countries were all in a state of economic crisis and the Great Depression before the Atlantic-Spanish War.

They were originally unable to solve domestic conflicts and problems, so they resorted to foreign wars to divert conflicts and solve problems.

At that time, the country's finances were in serious trouble. Military expenditures could only be raised through bonds and loans, and the proceeds from the war were used to repay the bonds and loans.

If foreign wars can be won, bonds and loans can certainly be repaid.

The result is naturally a happy one.

The hope and possibility of victory in the war can push up national war bonds and stocks in various industries, and even increase the enthusiasm of the entire market.

The entire state machine can rely on war dividends to keep running.

However, once the war cannot be won, the country will of course be unable to repay related loans and bonds.

Investors see no hope of victory, no hope of profit on war-related bonds, and related bonds and stocks will collapse quickly.

The economic crisis that was diverted and suppressed in a state of war will be doubled and released.

The divine punishment in the city of Constantinople is certain to be true and credible. It has been directly seen by millions of people. It is a real and unexplainable divine punishment.

It shattered the final illusions of victory among the top leaders of the Three Kingdoms of Rome.

It also completely defeated the last confidence of all the capital investing in the war and shattered their last illusions about profit.

They must find a new way out.

Beginning with Rome, Italy, mutinies, riots, and uprisings occurred one after another in countless cities across the entire European continent...

Following the Italians, the Poles in Lucia reacted most actively and quickly.

The local Polish nobles and businessmen in Warsaw, and some Lucian nobles and businessmen who stayed in Warsaw, launched a premeditated collective riot.

Part of the local garrison who cooperated with them arrested the governor and officials arranged by the Emperor Lucia.

After barely controlling the city, they immediately contacted the Ming Dynasty Taixi Operation Command in the name of the Polish Royal Army.

It means that Poland will be independent from Lucia and Germany and become a foreign vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

I hope to invite a Ming prince to be the king of Poland.

The civil uprisings in Greece, originally suppressed by Lucia, have gradually entered a state of guerrillas and escapes.

As a result, these days, they suddenly gained strength and began to attack and even occupy the city.

Because many businessmen and nobles in the city are also willing to cooperate.

Similar situations have begun to occur one after another in Romania, Hungary, Serbia and other regions.

Rioters in Greece, Romania, Hungary, and Serbia also tried to contact the Ming Dynasty's Western Combat Command.

He expressed that he wanted to be independent from the original country and was willing to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

And hoped to invite the prince of Ming Dynasty to be the king.

Riots and uprisings also began to occur in France, Spain, Norway, Sweden and other regions.

However, they did not contact the Ming Dynasty, but tried to contact the original royal family, hoping that the royal family that fled could come back and continue to fight against the Romans.

No matter what the reason and for what purpose.

The organizers of these resistance actions have obviously fully understood that Ming, who has mastered divine punishment, cannot lose.

The Roman Three Kingdoms will undoubtedly be defeated.

Most people even believed that the Roman Three Kingdoms would be defeated very quickly.

Divine punishment will completely destroy the faith of the Three Kingdoms of Rome and destroy the last remaining fighting will of the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms.

The ensuing war was more like a march than a war.

It just depends on how much time the Ming Dynasty is willing to spend to occupy the remaining land in the western continent.

Whether they really want to liberate their hometown or are trying to profit from speculation in the process of establishing a new world structure, they can't wait to start taking action.

Yang Yuchun, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty's Western operations, returned directly to Haifa, the headquarters of the League of Nations, after watching the nuclear explosion in Constantinople.

Haifa City is also the current headquarters of the Western-Taiwan Operations.

As the commander-in-chief, Yang Yuchun does not need and should not go to the front line in most cases.

Remote control is sufficient in big cities with convenient communication and transportation close to the front line.

Shortly after Yang Yuchun returned to the headquarters, he received news from Italian officials that Prince Carlo Emanuele was coming to ask for surrender.

If the Italian mission wants to come to the Ming Dynasty army to request surrender, of course it must first communicate with the Ming Dynasty.

At present, the air and sea control in most areas of the Great Qin Sea are controlled by the Ming Air Force and Navy.

If an Italian ship without permission sails on the Daqin Sea, it is likely to be directly sunk.

Yang Yuchun was not surprised at all by this news.

As a professional officer and the commander-in-chief of the entire battlefield, Yang Yuchun was very aware of the impact of the public use of strategic weapons.

Some countries and regions may voluntarily surrender in advance or even engage in riots and independence.

Italy is the most likely one.

Yang Yuchun himself and the Military Aircraft Department had made predictions in advance and formulated treatment plans in various directions for the generals, including Yang Yuchun, to choose and use.

Yang Yuchun directly issued an order to let the troops at sea pass and allow Emanuele to come over.

After Emanuele arrived in Haifa, the headquarters received news from Poles, Greeks, Hungarians, and Romanians one after another.

Yang Yuchun did not immediately reply to the people from those countries, but first met with Emanuele in person.

Emanuele, accompanied by Mazzini, held a scroll of surrender in both hands and knelt down directly in front of Yang Yuchun who was sitting on it.Mazzini hesitated, and finally knelt down along with him.

Then he watched Emanuele lower his head and said a lot of prepared words.

The first is to deeply reflect on the mistakes of the Italian royal family and should not follow Lucia and the Germans to do evil on the European continent.

Now that they have realized their mistake, they have decided to change their ways.

Willing to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, accept the comprehensive education of the Ming Dynasty, and submit to the overall management of the Ming Dynasty.

Please ask the Ming army to enter directly to take over and protect the Italian people.

Yang Yuchun asked his staff and guards to go over together, take the document from Emanuele's hand, and carefully confirm the safety before sending it to Yang Yuchun.

Yang Yuchun took a quick look and saw that most of it was nonsense, but the nature of this thing was no problem.

The King of Italy personally signed the surrender to the Ming Dynasty on behalf of Italy.

Then Yang Yuchun put the document on the table next to him and said a sacred saying from Emperor Guangwu, the founder of the Ming Dynasty:

"If just apologizing and admitting mistakes can solve the problem, why do we need Jinyiwei, Dali Temple and the prison?
“When a person or any organization or even a country does something wrong, they must bear the price of doing it.

“Reformation must be done after atonement for all your actions.

"Are you, the Italian royal family, and everyone in Italy, ready to atone for your mistakes of the past three years?"

Emanuele thought Yang Yuchun's statement was a bit strange, but there was no other answer to this question.

I can only say it honestly and directly:
"We, the House of Savoy in Sardinia and all the Italian people in Sardinia, are ready."

After hearing this, Yang Yuchun chuckled and said:

"It would be better for you to answer this question after you know your method of atonement.

"If you are really ready to atone for your sins, then the Ming army will completely occupy the entire territory of Italy and implement martial law.

“We will confiscate assets worth more than one hundred denarii owned by all persons.

"Then all the royal family members, all the nobles and bureaucrats, all the soldiers and officers will be exiled to the Mozhou Colony..."

When Yang Yuchun said the first two sentences, Emanuele and Mazzini were not too surprised.

The Ming Dynasty was already prepared to completely garrison and control Italy.

But after the last two sentences were said, the two of them were confused.

Everyone can only retain assets of no more than one hundred silver coins, which is a strategy implemented by the Ming Dynasty on the former Lucia occupied area.

Emanuele and Mazzini, as well as the Italian top brass, have heard about it.

But they all took it for granted that it was a plan for dealing with cities captured through war.

Countries that take the initiative to surrender as a whole before the war breaks out should receive better treatment, and it is very likely that they will receive treatment similar to that of the Dongyi Kingdom.

As a result, it's better now, as it is directly treated as an armed occupation area.

The key point is that all the nobles, bureaucrats, and military officers were exiled to Mozhou. This is really outrageous.

He was exiled to Mozhou with only one hundred silver notes left in his assets. For many nobles, businessmen and officials, it was no different than killing them.

Even Mazzini, a young officer, found it difficult to accept this.

For what purpose do we rebel and surrender?Isn't it just to avoid war and to continue to live a stable life in my hometown?

Now that he has surrendered, he still wants to be sent to Mozhou?
So Mazzini reacted faster than Emanuele and said loudly, unable to control his emotions:

"General, we are willing to surrender, we are not directly at war with Ming.

“We have realized our mistakes and are willing to accept Ming’s teachings.

"You should not treat all Italian people like war criminals..."

Yang Yuchun waved his hand and interrupted Mazini's words:
“How Ming wants to treat you is Daming’s own business, not something you need to consider.

“Whether or not you are willing to mend your ways does not lessen the sin you have already committed.

“The key point is that your so-called admission of mistakes, so-called correction and acceptance of education are not at all sincere.

“Before Ming Dynasty officially entered the war, it offered three times to mediate the relations between the Thai and Spanish countries, and called three times in a row to resolve the issue through peaceful negotiations.

“But you never know how to repent, and you always ignore Ming’s reminders and warnings.

"When the Ming Dynasty entered the war and you realized that there was no hope of victory, you knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

"Your purpose is just to save your lives, your wealth, and your status, nothing more.

"As I said just now, you'd better be really ready to atone for your sins.

“Reformation comes after atonement.”

Under the astonished looks of Emanuele and Mazzini, Yang Yuchun ordered his secretary after finishing speaking:
"Reply to the Poles in Warsaw, the Hungarians in Budapest, the Serbs in Belgrade, the Romanians in Bucharest.

"According to what I just said, plus the same treatment and atonement standards, ask them if they still want to surrender.

“Informing the newspapers and broadcasters in Tessie about these matters allows them to make it public to all of Tessie.

"If they are still willing to surrender, then we will discuss the details of surrender and takeover with them."

Emanuele and Mazzini at the scene were completely speechless.

The Italians, in their current situation, certainly cannot accept such conditions.

Among the Ming Dynasty's several demands, the most serious was not even the confiscation of wealth.

Instead, he demanded that all active military personnel be exiled to Mozhou.

Now the people who actually control the situation are the soldiers, and ordinary soldiers don't actually have much wealth.

Ordinary soldiers and workers were likely to be willing to accept the terms of the wealth disposition.

But he definitely couldn't accept the conditions of being exiled to Mozhou.

They mutinied and rioted, took control of the king and surrendered, all because they wanted to stay in the country and not go to the front line to endure hardships.

In Mozhou... there may not be a war, but life may be more painful than on the front lines of the European and American countries.

Ming Dynasty will definitely not let them simply live there when they arrive.

They will definitely be used as free labor.

Of course Emanuele and Mazzini couldn't make this decision.

So now I have nothing to say.

Yang Yuchun looked at their reactions and was directly thrown back by their surrender letters:

"So, you go back and think about it for yourselves, and then decide whether to submit this surrender letter after discussing it.

"Remember, this is your last chance. If you can't accept this condition, then go back and prepare for war."
