Daming 1805

Chapter 60 Daming's Allies Are Like Wheat in the Field
In the British Isles, London House, the capital of the United Kingdom, at three o'clock in the morning, several middle-aged and elderly people got up again overnight for a meeting.

First up is King George III, who is 67 years old this year and is just as psychotic as the other worldline.

The United Kingdom did not copy the emperor's retirement model of the Ming Dynasty. The king is still for life, so even if the king occasionally gets sick, he is still the king.

The United Kingdom is now officially called the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland", and its abbreviation is the United Kingdom.

The Hanoverian family where the king is located, the Hanoverian territory in the German region, has long been annexed by Prussia, so it has long since lost the title of Hanoverian king.

Then there was William Pitt Jr., the Prime Minister or First Secretary of the United Kingdom.

The Thai people tried to translate the prime minister into the first assistant, but Daming did not agree with this, and still wrote the prime minister or the prime minister.

Pitt is the youngest British prime minister in history in another world line. He was only 24 years old when he became prime minister for the first time.

He is also a "little old man", and his father William Pitt Sr. also served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

In this world line, the British king has a stronger control ability, and Peter was already 40 years old when he became prime minister.

At 46, Pitt remains the youngest cabinet minister on the scene.

Historically, he died at the age of 47, but he still looks very healthy now.

William Pitt Jr., with several important cabinet ministers, rushed to the imperial conference room in the cold wind of the early morning in London.

After kneeling down on one knee to salute the yawning old king, Pete took out a telegram and handed it to King George III opposite:
"Your Majesty, Daming has agreed to peace talks, but requires the Anti-Ming Alliance to withdraw from all occupied areas and withdraw from the Three Kingdoms of Anxi at the same time."

The news has been communicated to George III by phone, and now George is just looking at the details of the telegram, and then still asks in disbelief:
"Did Daming agree so easily? Is there a 'scheme' in this, or is it just a 'scheme' to regain the lost ground?"

Pete nodded slightly and said:

"The cunning of the people of the Ming Dynasty is 'well known', and many of them take 'the soldiers never tire of deceit' as their 'mantra'.

"The key is that they have already started to 'withdraw their feudal lords', and they have officially lifted the ban on six major industries, so that more power can be put into the battlefield.

"And I received news last night that Daming was recruiting servant soldiers from the vassal states that were withdrawing from the vassal, and they were going to send them to the battlefield of Caliphate.

"So we have to deal with it with extreme caution..."

Pete knows Daming very well, and is full of Daming idioms and proprietary vocabulary.

If it is not a real "literate man", I can't understand what he is saying. Fortunately, there are literate people around.

And Pitt's point of view is also the common point of view of the British, and the British do not believe in Ming.

Although the United Kingdom has been the most important ally of the Ming Dynasty for a long time.

The two sides used to happily carve up Spain together, Yinzhou together, Tianzhu together, and Da Shi together...

But the deeper the cooperation with Daming and the deeper the understanding of Daming, the more the British understand that Daming's allies are like wheat in the field.

Daming will cultivate allies and harvest them when they mature. Most of the harvested food is eaten by Daming himself, and a small part is used to cultivate new allies.

In the eyes of the British, Daming has planted at least two crops of three allies, and the United Kingdom would have been the fourth, and was almost harvested.

Daming initially fought hotly with the Netherlands and Portugal, allowing the two countries to trade directly to Daming's native port.

The two countries also cooperated very diligently with Daming's actions, helping Emperor Zhu Cilong to subdue Zheng Zhilong, the overlord of the Southeast Seas.

Based on Zheng Zhilong's fleet, Emperor Zhu Cilong vigorously developed the navy of the Ming Dynasty.

After that, Daming used his navy as the main force, and let the Dutch and Portuguese help, provoked a war against the Spaniards, and captured Dongfan Island and Luzon Island.

With these two cooperations, both the Dutch and the Portuguese feel that their friendship with Daming is getting deeper and deeper, and they can be regarded as reliable allies.

But the good times don't last long...

Daming suddenly gave the tamed Spaniards the exclusive right to foreign trade, and in turn prohibited the eastern trade of the Netherlands and Portugal.

At the same time, let the Spaniards assist the Ming navy to drive out the Dutch and Portuguese in the entire Nanyang area until they are completely driven out of the Nanyang and the Little West.

The ocean-going fleet, which Ming had gradually developed before, took over the colonies and trade routes of the Dutch and Portuguese.

At the same time, Daming's Yinzhou colony was established in the border areas not yet controlled by European colonial powers, mainly the northwest coast of North Yinzhou and the southern part of South Yinzhou.

After the Dutch and Portuguese were expelled, Spain began to enjoy Daming's European trade dividends exclusively.

Silver from Yinzhou poured into Daming mainland more rapidly, and Daming tea, silk, and porcelain were also continuously shipped to Europe by Spain.

Under the advice and encouragement of Daming, Spain continued to fight against the Dutch "anti-thief" in the Atlantic region that Daming could not influence.

The continuous capture of the Dutch colonies, and even the Dutch mainland once again, directly led to the collapse of the Dutch Interprovincial Republic.

Spain regards it as a major achievement of cooperation with Daming in the world, and considers itself to be Daming's most important ally and trading partner.

But it didn't last long...

Daming continued to expand in the north and south of Yinzhou, and finally directly bordered the Yinzhou colony of Spain.

So Daming suddenly cut off Spain's trade license and turned to support the British who were struggling to replace Spain.

Spain lost the support of the Daming trade dividend, and its national strength saw a sharp decline, and soon it would no longer be an opponent of the Mingying Alliance.

Daming cooperated with the British, and gradually emptied Spain's influence in the Daming Ocean and the Little Western Ocean, and also prohibited the British from infecting the Guiyang and Tiannan areas.

Daming began to completely dominate the Nanyang, Tiannan, and Damingyang regions, gradually found out the situation in the southern continent, and began to emigrate on a large scale through steam sailing ships.

The British also continued to attack the Spaniards in the Atlantic Ocean, and even occupied the Gibraltar region in mainland Spain, while also gaining a firm foothold in Northern Yinzhou and southern Tianzhu.

The cooperation between the two sides is very tacit, and the United Kingdom also feels that it is the most important ally of the Ming Dynasty.

But it didn't last long...

The Ming Dynasty expanded in the Little Western Ocean, and developed colonies in North Tianzhu, East Mozhou, South Mozhou, and North and South Yinzhou, and Britain also developed in these places.

After Tianzhu was divided up from the north and south by both sides, the contradiction between the two sides gradually emerged.

When Daming took control of the Sinai Peninsula, built the West Sea Canal, and tried to completely monopolize trade between the East and the West, the conflict between Ming and Ying reached a critical point.

Daming had planned to repeat the old trick, trying to cooperate with France to clear up British forces in the Dashi and Tianzhu areas.

But the British, who had a more sense of crisis than their predecessors, completed the layout one step earlier than Daming.

Daming and France, there were conflicts in the colony development of the central and northern parts of North Yinzhou and Mozhou.

The Ming Dynasty and the Ottomans had the most direct territorial war in the Dashi area.

Daming and Lucia have contradictions in the division of continental boundaries and the influence of cultural infiltration.

The Ming Dynasty had profound historical contradictions with the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal, and there were practical contradictions in the ownership of the colonies of Yinzhou in the north and south.

There were competitive contradictions between Daming and Austria, Sardinia, and Prussia in the development of new colonies in Mexico.

Daming's intention to completely control the trade routes between the East and the West also contradicted all the countries in Tai and West.

Taking advantage of these contradictions, the British gave full play to their long-sleeved skills and successfully organized the "Anti-Ming Alliance".

Under the threat of Daming, the giant enemy, the entire Taixi was reluctantly united for the first time.

After this world-class war broke out, both sides fought very difficultly, and basically no obvious practical results were achieved.

However, the Taixi people were a little surprised, and found that as long as they worked together, they could even compete with Daming, which contributed to the rise of the Taixi national thought trend.

Too bad it didn't last long...

After the war turned into a war of attrition, the Taixi people found that their successors were weak, but Daming obviously still had the strength to use.

As a result, the Anti-Daming Alliance led by the United Kingdom made a decision to try to negotiate peace.

In the face of an enemy like Daming, a tie is a victory!
Now that Daming has agreed to negotiate peace, the British are a little bit reluctant to believe, after all, they were almost sold.

At the same time, I am also worried that the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain will not believe that these three have really been sold.
