The rumbling rotation of the water wheel drove three passenger boats carrying two thousand stones to the westward direction, stirring up three long white waves on the South Canal waterway between Suzhou and Zhenjiang, symbolizing the golden color of the Bourbon royal family that ruled France-France.

The fleur-de-lis flag, the yellow dragon flag symbolizing the Aisin Gioro royal family of Great Mongolia, and the cross flag symbolizing Catholicism were fluttering in the summer wind.

On both sides of the canal, there was prosperity in the pre-industrial era. Although the population of the Ming Dynasty is still small, the missions of the Mongolia, Franks and the Holy See landed in Shanghai, and then followed the Wusong River into the south of the Yangtze River. Along the westward route of the canal,

However, it is the most prosperous and densely populated area in the entire Ming Dynasty.

On both sides of the waterway, villages and towns are dotted, and watermills and windmills are lined up in rows. On the waterway, merchant ships and passenger boats traveling east and west are lined up in rows. In the busiest areas, there are even "ship jams".

Yes! Most of the ships traveling on the canal are cars and boats. That is, wooden boats with water wheels installed on both sides or behind the ship's side. Of course, these water wheels are driven not by steam engines, but by human power - the boatmen pedal a

Specially made bicycles transmit their power to the water wheel through gears, belts, and bearings, and then turn the water wheel to push the passenger boat forward.

This kind of water wheel-driven boat is actually not a new invention. In the Song Dynasty, when industry and commerce were very prosperous, cars and boats were already very popular. At that time, the canals and rivers were full of cars and boats, and there were even cars and boats in the sea traveling against the wind and waves.

.While cars and boats were popular, waterwheels and windmills were also widely used at that time. There were even large water-powered spinning wheels and wind-powered waterwheels that combined waterwheels and windmills. In the Ming Dynasty, due to the Mongolian conquest war,

After the great destruction, the cars and ships almost disappeared, but the waterwheels and windmills were passed down. However, after the chaos of the late Ming Dynasty and the war between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, windmills became relatively rare, and only waterwheels used for irrigation can still be seen everywhere.

But now, after more than 20 years of great development after the revival of the Ming Dynasty, various wind, water, human and animal-driven machinery have finally ushered in an era of great explosion - after all, the Ming Dynasty now has fewer people and more land.

, On the one hand, industry and commerce are developing rapidly driven by various external demands, which naturally leads to the problem of labor shortage. Investment in machinery and equipment has naturally become a profitable business.

The new education promoted by Zhu Heji's court has cultivated a large number of new talents who have mastered a lot of mathematics, natural science (physics), and natural magic (chemistry). Between their whimsical ideas and copycat plagiarism,

Next, Daming's mechanical industry has hit the wind. It's hard not to fly into the sky!

It is no exaggeration to say that the Ming Dynasty is now a dynasty standing on the threshold of industrialization!

The Prime Minister of Great Mongolia, Minister of International Affairs Suo Etu Suo Zhongtang, was sitting on the top platform of this westbound vehicle and boat, holding a tea cup and looking at the country in front of him that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him. His old friend Na

Lan Mingzhu was sitting next to him, just looking at Suo'etu quietly.

Nalan Mingzhu now lives in Nanjing with his son Nalan Xingde. Nalan Xingde is now the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple and is responsible for receiving visiting Franks, Mongolia and the Holy See mission. He sees that his father is idle

He was panicking and knew that his father had an old relationship with the Mongolian envoy Suo'etu, so he sent a temporary mission to his father and asked him to go to Shanghai to meet the tripartite envoys.

Of course, Nalan Mingzhu hopes that her son can take one step or two further, so he has been working hard to get along with his old brother Suo'e Tutou. The relationship between the two has become very warm, and they both talk about everything.

Talking point.

He looked at himself looking like a wanderer returning home, and suddenly sighed: "Yu'an, when the negotiation is over, my little brother will accompany you to Beijing and outside the customs, and then go...

Then go and offer incense sticks to the ancestors, and talk about the achievements you have made in the Western Regions and India, so that the ancestors can rest assured." He paused, and then said: "Yu'an, in fact, you have not been able to do anything in these years.

That’s right, in the Western Regions again, India has established a stronghold on the world. I heard that India’s wealth is no less than that of the Ming Dynasty!”

Mingzhu is asking for the forehead picture for her son!

Before the negotiation begins, he must first feel the lows of Mongolia!

Although Zhuge Zhengyang and Guo Youde have touched too low on Sanji Gyatso before, it is always good to touch more... If the situations found by both sides are right, then they are almost inseparable.

.

"The rich people in India..." Suo'etu smiled, "How should I put it? The rich are really rich, and the poor are really poor. And the people there are different from those in the Central Plains. They are unkind for the sake of wealth and accept their fate for poverty.

.So the rich don't regard the poor as human beings at all, and the poor... all accept their fate. They feel that they are poor because they didn't accumulate virtue in their previous life. They can't change it no matter how hard they try. They can only accept their fate and cultivate.

Afterlife.”

"Ah, how good is that?" Mingzhu was surprised, "If the people of Middle-earth were like this, the world would be peaceful!"

Yes, if the common people do not rebel even if they are poor and starved to death, can the emperor be able to live in peace and quiet?

Suo'etu smiled bitterly: "But India is not peaceful!"

"how come?"

"There are no internal worries, only foreign ones!" Suo'etu patted his chest, "Aren't we the foreign invaders of India?"

"By the way," Mingzhu lowered her voice, "No one in India is engaged in anti-Yuan copying, right?"

Suo'etu snorted: "What kind of seal are you copying? Mongolia is a foreign country, and the Mughals before it were also foreign...their descendants of Timur. What kind of sultanate was there earlier?

They are all foreign. India is filled with waves of outsiders. So if you want to have long-term peace and stability in India, you must control Afghanistan in the northwest and the areas in the river. It is best to control the Kazakh grasslands. Now Afghanistan

Most of the river, most of the Kazakh grassland and the entire Kazakh grassland belong to our Mongolia. The Rakshasa further north has made good friends with our Mongolia. If there is nothing in the north, our Mongolia will be invincible in India. So the Great Khan is preparing to revive India first

Buddhism, while consolidating the rich land in the northwest, and when the time is right, go south to conquer the Deccan Plateau, and then find a way to take back the Western colonies. From now on, India will be shared by the Great Mongolia and the Hindustan Empire!"

In fact, Kangxi's heart was not that dark when he first entered India, and he was satisfied if he could control northwest India. But after spending more than ten years in India, he found that the princely states on the Deccan Plateau were very weak...that

Aurangzeb was unable to defeat them mainly because they were too weak. Mongolia, on the other hand, had a "master supply chain" in Afghanistan, Hezhong, and Kazakhstan, from which it could continuously obtain professional murderers with sufficient martial arts to wipe out the Deccan Plateau.

Nothing difficult.

So Kangxi couldn't help but want to do something big!

However, he will not indiscriminately eliminate the princes on the plateau... As long as they convert to my Buddha and put down the butcher knife, they will not be eliminated. Otherwise... Haha, as soon as the heavenly soldiers arrive, they will

Only ashes and smoke!

"But the Westerners are willing to hand over their colonies to Mongolia?" Mingzhu seemed a little unconvinced by So'etu's words.

Suo'etu smiled and said, "Isn't this what we are talking about?"

"Talk?" Mingzhu was stunned, "What to talk about?"

Suo'etu said: "Let's talk about carving up the world! If this piece of the Mongolian Ocean is given to us as Great Mongolia, then the Western colonies should naturally be handed over to us... Of course we won't take it for nothing, we can spend money to redeem it!

If they want to fight the Ottoman Empire, they need to spend a lot of money, but Mongolia now has money, lots of money!"

India could be very rich in ancient times!

India has four major money-making tools: cotton, spices, gems, and iron. Among them, India's cotton, spices, and gems have swept across Europe and the Tianfang Sect world. They are also the main iron suppliers of the Tianfang Sect civilization. Not only did the Europeans steal them from the New World

A lot of gold went to India, and a considerable part of the gold and silver stolen from Europe by the empires of the Tianfang Sect also flowed into India.

In history, if the Europeans had not colonized India and moved away all the money accumulated by India's ancestors for generations, India might have risen long ago... And today's Mongolia has not lost Central Asia, a place rich in martial arts.

, so it is not easy for Westerners to rob India - those Central Asians are almost the military ceiling of the Tianfang Sect civilization, and the Manchus and Mongols who followed Kang Mazi can crush those Central Asians.

Therefore, before the dissolution of Mongolia, the Western colonists could not rob India for the time being... In this case, if Kangxi Khan could use a "small target" of silver rupees to bribe Louis the Great, he would then give it to the Dutch

, with a little commercial privilege, the English will most likely be able to take back the sovereignty of those colonies.

After conquering the Deccan Plateau and the Western colonies, Kang Mazi will have two out of three Indian states, leaving only the Hindustan Empire, which will always have a chance...

Mingzhu thought for a while and already understood Kangxi's wishful thinking. He asked again: "Then why does Mongolia get the Indian Ocean?"

Suo'etu smiled and said: "We have more people...if there are more people, we should share more!"

"How many of you are there?" Mingzhu was almost laughed at by Suo Etu, "Are those Indian untouchables considered human beings?"

"Of course they are considered humans!" Suo'etu said sternly, "If they are not considered humans, how can you still consider them monkeys?"

Mingzhu frowned, "Can Westerners agree?"

Suo'etu nodded, "Why don't they agree? They also have many people... They have 100 million people! If you include Indians and black slaves, it's more than 100 million!"

It turns out that the country with the least number of people now is China!

The mainland only has a population of 70 to 80 million. Counting the population of vassal states and colonies, it barely exceeds 100 million.

"But such a point..." Mingzhu frowned, "Didn't Ming suffer a loss?"

"It's not a loss, it's not a loss," Suo'etu said with a smile, "Isn't the Ming Dynasty an exception? The Pacific Ocean, except for South America, is the world of the Ming Dynasty!"

Mingzhu still shook her head: "That's not okay...there are also the Ottoman Empire, the Hindustan Empire, and Persia! How can they be divided?"

Soetu said: "I, Mongolia, will never touch the territory of Hindustan... As for the Ottomans and Persia, I, Mongolia, can sign a secret agreement with Ming Dynasty to protect the interests of these two countries!"

Kangxi Khan's wishful thinking was really good. He wanted to make two secret agreements! One was with the Ming Dynasty, and the other was with Frank... Then the Mongolian family could have two ends.

But Kangxi was smart, and Louis and Urban were not stupid either!

They are not the Spanish emperor who pretended to be Saint Leopold and didn’t care about making a deal with the devil!

So at this moment, on a large car with a golden iris flag flying, Hugo Leonardo and Dega Magala were having secret talks with Nalan Xingde - the negotiations to carve up the world have actually begun!

"No, no, you Franks got too much, and our Ming Dynasty got too little... This is not fair, and it does not reflect the super strong national power of Ming! We, Ming, must get more! Otherwise,

Stop talking, just go back home!"

The one who was shaking his head to express his objection was Nalan Xingde, the young minister of Honglu in the Ming Dynasty.

He went on to say in Latin: "You Franks want Europe, South America, the central and eastern parts of North America, and Africa... You also want West Asia, and Siberia! Look at it, most of it

The earth has been given to you, why? Is this fair? This is not fair! I, the Ming Dynasty, cannot agree!"

Hugo Leonard and Degas Magala both looked embarrassed. This Ming Dynasty was obviously full of food, but he was still greedy! However, his fists were hard enough and his strength was strong enough. Without them nodding, these three people would

The world cannot be divided at all.

So now these two guys can only try their best to reason with Nalan Xingde, but Nalan Xingde doesn't seem to be very reasonable, so the negotiation has been deadlocked all the way.

"Your Majesty, Vice Minister, you have received a lot from Ming Dynasty... We have made concessions in North America and agreed to divide the territory based on the Mississippi River and the west coast of the Great Lakes. We also agreed to divide the Aztec territory

It also falls under the Ming Dynasty's sphere of influence, plus the southern continent and Nanyang, you have already received enough."

"Your Excellency, Deputy Minister, although our Frankish Empire is the leader of Christian civilization, there are still many powerful countries in Christian civilization, and the territories allocated to Christian civilization are not all our Franks... For example, Siberia is Rakshasa

South America belongs to Spain and Portugal, and part of North America belongs to England. Our Frank share is not much at all!

Moreover, the territory of Black Africa cannot be entered at all. There are too many various diseases that white people and East Asians cannot bear. They will get sick as soon as they enter. Therefore, we occupy Black Africa just to create some black slaves. You, Ming Dynasty, use

No black slave..."

Nalanxingde hummed and said: "How about not adding the Ottoman Empire... North Africa will be allocated to them, West Asia will also be allocated to the Ottoman Empire, and the rest of Black Africa will be used as a trade transit station in the Ming Dynasty, so that
Chapter completed!
