Chapter 939 We held a meeting and elected you to be the commander-in-chief of the United States!
Of course, Daming's real bottom line will not be told to his negotiating opponents right away, so the bottom line in Nalan Xingde's mouth is not the bottom line at all, but a bargaining chip!
And Hugo Leonardo and Degas Magala were not stupid. Of course they knew that the Ming Empire could not take such good care of the Ottoman Empire. For things like carving up the world, of course, the fewer countries participating, the better! Because the world is so big,
Three Kokubun is definitely more comfortable than four Kokubun... Of course, two Kokubun is definitely more comfortable than three Kokubun!
So Hugo Leonard and Dega Magala also have chips in their hands - this chip is the benefit of Mongolia!
The two foreign devils looked at each other with serious expressions at the same time.
Hugo Leonard said: "Your Excellency, Deputy Minister, the Ottoman Empire is the mortal enemy of our Christian civilization. If you, the Ming Dynasty, want to stand firmly on the side of the Ottoman Empire, then there is no need to continue this meeting aimed at carving up the world.
.”
Dega Magala said with a sacred and solemn face: "Believers in God will never forgive the crimes committed by the Tianfang Religion... Constantinople and Jerusalem must be recovered!"
After hearing what the two said, Nalan Xingde just smiled faintly and said to himself: "You still say that we are followers of the devil! The leader of their Tianfang cult and the leader of your Christianity are still the same great god. They can be considered brothers in the same sect.
?”
Seeing the disdain on Nalan Xingde's face, the hearts of the two foreign devils sank - this was contempt, the Ming Dynasty's heartfelt contempt for the Frank Empire and the Holy See!
Just when the two of them didn't know how to respond to this contempt, Nalanxingde spoke again: "You two, I think it is necessary for me to reiterate the diplomatic principle of the Ming Dynasty again - there is no alliance between China and the Ming Dynasty! We, the Ming Dynasty,
Only vassals, no allies!
So the Ottoman Empire is not an ally of the Ming Dynasty, but you must also face up to the existence of the Ottoman Empire and the Eastern Alliance headed by the Ottoman Empire... Even if you are extremely hostile to them, they still exist, and it seems that they will exist for a long time!
Likewise, you should also acknowledge the existence of the Aztec Kingdom in Mexico!"
The reason why the Ming Dynasty adopted such a diplomatic principle was that the vassal states had no diplomacy and the vassal states were not countries with complete sovereignty. They had handed over part of their sovereignty to the Ming Dynasty and obeyed the Ming Dynasty's command in terms of diplomacy and external military operations.
.So Ming will not be dragged into unnecessary wars and confrontations by their independent external actions, because they have no autonomy at all... This means that Ming can always maintain strategic initiative and freedom, and will not be
Being implicated by his own independent sovereign ally, he became his ally's thug.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty was only a friend of the Ottoman Empire, Persia, Hindustan, and the Aztecs, not an ally... Even if the Indian trading company controlled by Wu Guogui was actually protecting Hindustan, the Ming Dynasty did not recognize that Hindustan was
Allies, of course, did not accept the surrender of Hindustan - this is because the suzerain and the vassal are one family!
The suzerain country is the father, and the vassal country is the son. Therefore, the Ming court allows people from the vassal countries to immigrate to the Ming Dynasty... Similarly, the people of the Ming Dynasty can also freely enter and live in any vassal country, while retaining the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, as a citizen, you can also be naturalized as a vassal.
In addition, each vassal state also opened its doors to each other and allowed people from other vassal states to immigrate.
Of course, the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty can prohibit their own people (without Ming status) from leaving the country, and can even prohibit the people of the suzerain country or other vassal states from leaving the country for a short period of time with the consent of the Ming Dynasty Supervisory Office.
Under this system, the elites of each vassal country usually choose to be naturalized in the Ming Dynasty, and then continue to engage in business and politics in their own countries as citizens of the Ming Dynasty - so that they can get more protection from the Ming Dynasty.
If the trouble is over, you can escape unscathed. And the people of the vassal country who leave their country and move to some newly developed vassal countries will gradually become Chinese... because some newly developed vassal countries often gather people from the Ming Dynasty and other countries.
The population of the vassal states, and their upper class all retained their identity as Ming people. Therefore, they would inevitably lead immigrants from various vassal states to become Chinese.
In fact, this is a policy of the Xia monarch and the barbarians, which is exactly the same as the method used during the expansion of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
And as more and more vassal states are Sinicized, the countries that still maintain their own characteristics in the Chinese circle and do not Sinicize will become very different... and finally have to follow the trend and Sinicize!
However, there must be a prerequisite for this kind of "Xia Jun and Yi Min" to be established, that is, the gap between this "Xia Jun" and the "Yi Min" below cannot be too big... Even if the gap is a bit big, as long as the number is not large, it will not matter.
It can be assimilated. Historically, the Xiajun Yi people of the Western Zhou Dynasty were successful in the end. The United States was also relatively successful in assimilating the British, Germans, French, Russians, Irish and other white European immigrants. But the Africans
...
Of course, it is still the 17th century. There are no planes, trains, or large ships. Transportation is very inconvenient, and immigrating to other countries is even more difficult. Therefore, free migration only exists in theory. In fact, long-distance migration took place in the Ming Dynasty.
It was organized under the organization of the vassal monarchs and several chartered trading companies...and Zhu Heji was controlling everything behind the scenes.
So those who immigrated to North America in recent years were Han Chinese and Mongolians, and those who were thrown to Southeast Asia to explore were mostly Koreans, Japanese, Annan people... Of course, there were also some Chaozhou people and Hokkien people as new vassal states.
The upper layer has been migrated.
The gap between Han people, Koreans, Japanese and Annan people is not very big. They are relatively close in appearance and culture, so it is easier to assimilate. As for the Nanyang indigenous people, their number is very small these days - Nanyang
The indigenous population explosion occurred only after modern medical science succeeded in preventing and treating tropical infectious diseases. Before that, many of the most populous countries in Southeast Asia in later generations had populations in the millions, or even less than that. The population of later generations was over
When the Philippines was conquered by the Ming Dynasty, the population of hundreds of thousands could be counted. Annan, including Guangnan, only had a population of 2.5 million. Siam also had only 2.3 million, and Chenla had only 2.3 million people.
There are hundreds of thousands in Myanmar, and Myanmar only has more than four million. The combined population of all the countries on the Malay Peninsula is only half a million. Java Island has a larger population because of its developed agriculture, but it is only six to seven million...
..And among the above tens of millions of people, at least a few million people have some degree of Chinese ancestry.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! As long as Zhu Heji can arrange for immigrants from the north to get cinchona frost (the Ming Dynasty has already obtained cinchona tree saplings from the Aztecs) and allicin,
Assimilating Nanyang is just a matter of time.
Of course, even if cinchona and allicin were available, the number of people who would die going to Southeast Asia would be much higher than going to the New World. On the one hand, this is because the supply of cinchona and allicin is limited. On the other hand, this is
The efficacy of the two drugs is not particularly good. Whether you can save your life after taking it depends on your physical condition. Among them, cinchona cream has relatively serious side effects.
In order to truly eradicate various tropical infectious diseases, the most effective way is to open up tropical rainforests with many wild animals and various insects into relatively "clean" cultivated land. In this process, a large number of deaths are inevitable.
Therefore, the main force in exploring Southeast Asia (the main force in the work) was the Japanese working people who were not afraid of death... This is also the reason why Zhu Heji conquered Japan and accepted it as a dog.
But Hindustan is not even qualified to be a dog... There are 70 to 80 million Asans there! That is four times that of Japan, and as large as the population of the Ming Dynasty (including North Korea)!
Moreover, Indians have a strong local culture and look different from people in East Asia... In history, even the conquerors of the Tianfang Sect, who were so extreme, couldn't do anything to them, so what else could the Ming Dynasty do to them?
If the Ming Dynasty turned this country into its own vassal state, wouldn't the Han people become a minority within the Celestial Empire?
Therefore, Zhu Heji resolutely rejected the surrender of the Mughal emperor - to be a dog to the Ming Dynasty also had to be good-looking, and it had to look similar and be easier to assimilate!
"Your Excellency, Deputy Foreign Minister," Hugo Leonard finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming the "Chinese non-alignment" policy again, "How about this, we can delineate some areas to be allocated, and we can divide the Ottoman Empire,
The Hindustan Empire, Persia, Aztec...are all included in the areas to be distributed."
"There is also Black Africa and Siberia controlled by the Rakshasa Kingdom!" Nalan Xingde immediately added.
Hugo Leonardo and Degas Malaga both looked embarrassed and refused to nod.
Black Africa has long been regarded as something in Louis's pocket, so how can it be turned into a territory "to be distributed"?
In addition, Siberia is the territory of Rakshasa. If it becomes "to be distributed", it means that Louis cannot guarantee Rakshasa's sovereignty over Siberia. Then can Rakshasa still follow France-the Frankish Empire?
Nalan Xingde saw that the two people refused to let go, so he took a step back: "We can also divide most of the southern continent and the surrounding islands to be allocated, so you can always explain it, right?"
This concession of Xingde is not substantial, because no one dares to covet the southern continent that Ming is interested in!
"The Ming Dynasty must promise not to participate in the construction of the canal that connects the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea!" Hugo Leonard was silent for a while, then put forward a new condition and gave a new bait, "If the Ming Dynasty can at a certain critical moment
Cut off military aid to the Turkish Empire... We can also give up support to the Mongol Empire at a certain critical period! We can even accept the situation of co-ruling India and the Indian Ocean with the Ming Dynasty after the demise of the Ottoman Empire. Although India
It's too big to digest, but it's easy to exploit!"
Hugo Leopard was betraying Mongolia in exchange for the opportunity to destroy the Ottoman Empire!
Nalan Xingde was stunned and looked at Hugo Leonard, "Your Excellency, Foreign Minister, what you are talking about... was authorized by Emperor Louis?"
"Of course!" Hugo Leonard gave an affirmative answer.
"There is also the authorization of the Roman Pope!" Degas Magala said, "For France, the Frankish Empire and the Holy See, the destruction of the Ottoman Empire and the recovery of Vienna, Constantinople and Jerusalem are top priorities!
"
In fact, the destruction of the Ottoman Empire was the founding battle of Louis! Only when his France-Frank Empire regained Vienna, Constantinople, and Jerusalem could it truly establish its reputation and avoid the situation of "Louis died and was divided"
situation.
"How to prove it?" Nalan Xingde was still worried.
"We have a letter of authorization signed by the emperor and the pope, and we can make a secret treaty with the Ming Dynasty against the Mongolia and the Ottoman Empire... Of course, after the secret treaty is signed, it still needs to be signed by the Ming Emperor, the Frank Emperor and the Roman Pope.
It will take effect after printing!"
Nalan Xingde nodded: "Please bring me the authorization letter signed by the Frank Emperor and the Pope... Our Honglu Temple has a dedicated person who will compare the handwriting. If it is confirmed that it is the Frank Emperor and the Pope
In my handwriting, I will submit your request and authorization letter to the Grand Duke and Emperor!"
Hugo Leonard smiled and said: "Okay! I will immediately have the authorization letter brought to the Vice Minister! And I look forward to gaining the friendship of Ming Dynasty!"
.......
At the same time, Suo'etu and Nalan Mingzhu were also discussing a secret treaty that betrayed the interests of the Frank Empire!
Who wouldn’t betray a friend? There are countless real incidents of betraying friends and brothers in the Twenty-Four History. Kangxi Khan himself had others betray him, and of course he also betrayed others. He had already become a spirit.
So he had long predicted that Emperor Louis and Urban IX would betray Mongolia... and the way to counter the betrayal was, of course, to betray his friends before they betrayed him!
Therefore, when Kangxi Khan made a secret agreement with Hugo Leonard and Degas Magala to oppose the Ming Dynasty, he had already thought about how to sell out the Frankish Empire.
The way he betrayed the Frank Empire was to help the Ottoman Empire build the Suez Canal and promote the conclusion of the "Ottoman-Rakshasa Secret Treaty".
Soetu spoke eloquently: "According to the intelligence we have in Mongolia, Emperor Louis will definitely succeed in capturing Vienna... because he has mobilized more than 200,000 troops for this battle! And he will also send Poland
——Sweden-Rakshasa coalition forces attack parts of Ukraine and the Black Sea coastal areas owned by the Ottomans. Mongolia will also attack Socot Island at the entrance to the Gulf of Aden from the sea.
With the military power of the Ottoman Empire, it was impossible to stop the siege of so many countries. Therefore, the Great Khan judged that the Ottoman Empire would definitely be defeated! Although the Ottoman Empire would not perish after the defeat, it would definitely fall into internal and external troubles. And the Ottoman Empire could restore its decline.
, only by building the Suez Canal.
As long as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty recognizes the sovereignty of Mongolia in Kazakhstan, Hezhong, Afghanistan, northwest India, etc., and guarantees that it will not invade the land of Mongolia, and at the same time recognizes that Mongolia can dominate the Mongolian Ocean... Mongolia will protect it.
