Chapter 811: Clouds of the Battle at Sea (3)
Although many officials do not look down on the barren land like Luzon and Australia, but they do not look down on the dignity of the Ming Dynasty to be provoked, the three countries of West and Holland are just barbarians in the eyes of most officials, and they dare to threaten the Ming Dynasty with war in the Jinluan Palace of the Ming Dynasty, many officials feel insulted, and the majesty of the Ming Dynasty has been provoked.
At this moment, even if Zhu Ci hesitated to compromise, these stubborn old ministers would not allow the majesty of the Ming Dynasty to be insulted like this, especially since the Ming Dynasty has won consecutive battles over the years, and it is a crushing victory over the surrounding countries, and the three kingdoms in front of them were not also defeated by the Ming Dynasty, and the colony was occupied by the Ming Dynasty?
A group of barbarians, a group of defeated generals, dare to threaten the Ming Dynasty with a war, isn't it a joke!
There were even angry young officials who stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the barbarians of the Three Kingdoms are so arrogant, they dare to threaten the Ming Dynasty with war, and they don't take the Ming Dynasty in their eyes, the sins are monstrous, and the minister implores the emperor not only to expel the envoys of the Three Kingdoms, but also to send troops to crusade against the Three Kingdoms and teach the Three Kingdoms a lesson!" ”
Not only this young official, but also many young officials have come forward to respond.
Suddenly, in the Jinluan Palace, the words of expelling the envoys of the Three Kingdoms and sending troops to crusade against the envoys of the Three Kingdoms were endless.
Although it has come to this moment, the translators arranged by the Ministry of Rites are still constantly translating for the envoys of the three countries.
Looking at the excitement of the Ming civil and military officials, the envoys of the Three Kingdoms were dumbfounded, one moment they threatened the Three Kingdoms Fleet to send troops to the Ming Dynasty, and the next moment it became that many officials of the Ming Dynasty asked the Ming Dynasty to take the initiative to send troops to attack them, that look, as if the Ming Dynasty could destroy their Three Kingdoms casually.
At this time, the British envoy looked left and right at the excited Ming civil and military officials, and suddenly something appeared, and his eyes widened in an instant.
He saw the huge world map that Da Ming had hung on the left side of the Jinluan Palace.
Although he couldn't read the Chinese characters on the world map, he was able to find their location on the map of England at once. As Britain, which has a large number of colonies all over the world, the terrain of the world's states has basically been drawn by them, so he not only found their location on the map of England at once, but also recognized that this is a world map, and it is more standard and detailed than the world map enshrined by their English royal family.
This is not the most shocking to him, the most shocking thing to him is the Ming Territory that was painted with golden yellow! From south to north, from east to west, the Ming were simply too large, and all of their colonies in England together were not half the size of the Ming Dynasty's territory.
The Spanish envoy and the Dutch envoy followed the eyes of the British envoy and saw the map of the world of the Ming Dynasty.
"Oh, God, is this true, the golden ones are all within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it's incredible!" The Dutchman was shocked.
Although shocked, when they swept to the Indonesian archipelago, the Dutch envoy's face was also very unpleasant, which was originally their Dutch place.
"Luzon belongs to our Spanish Empire!" The Spanish envoy was just as angry when he was shocked. The Spaniards were already arrogant, and although the sheer size of the Ming Dynasty also shocked him, it was not enough to scare him.
"Australia!" Seeing Australia, a huge 6 independent of the ocean, the British were also shocked, and their faces were not good-looking, the territory of the Ming Dynasty looked terrifyingly large, but Australia also occupied a large area, which was originally their British place.
Shocked, but also a little jealous! It is said that if the colonies of the three countries in the world are all added together, they are actually not much smaller than the Ming Dynasty.
Ten years ago, the fleets of the Dutch and Spaniards were still rampant along the coast of the South Seas and the east coast of the Ming Dynasty, and the current envoys of the three kingdoms of the Ming Dynasty felt that they might be very strong, but they did not think that the three of them together were not much worse.
After the envoys of the three countries glanced at each other, their expressions were firm.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has immorally invaded the colonies of our Three Kingdoms, and if we still refuse to return them, the fleets of our Three Kingdoms will one day descend on the waters of the Ming Dynasty and take them back by force!" Negotiations are hopeless, and the envoys of the three countries have completely moved the idea of using force.
In just ten years, they were shocked by the size and strength of the Ming Dynasty, and what made them faintly afraid was the expansion of the Ming Dynasty, for their own interests, they felt that their countries should unite and limit the expansion of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise if it continued like this, the Ming Dynasty would sooner or later go to the whole world to compete with them for colonies, so that they would only lose more colonies.
Although the envoys of the three countries are not their respective kings, they can be personally appointed by the kings or queens of the three kingdoms, and their titles are not low, the British envoy is a duke, the Dutch envoy and the Spanish envoy are also a marquis, and they undoubtedly have certain rights.
Moreover, before leaving Europe, the three countries of Britain, Spain and the Netherlands were actually prepared for the failure of the negotiations.
In fact, as early as the moment when the envoys of the Three Kingdoms sent to the Ming Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms had already begun to prepare for war in an all-round way, not only building warships on their own soil, but also recalling warships all over the world, that is, they had made the final plan, and the negotiations were not completed and the Ming Dynasty was ready to go to war.
The envoys of the Three Kingdoms sent an envoy to the Ming Dynasty, not so much to question the Ming Dynasty or negotiate, but to test and understand the strength of the Ming Dynasty first.
Since entering the Strait of Malacca, the envoys of the Three Kingdoms have been trying to understand the specific strength of the Ming Dynasty, but they have been followed by the ships of the East China Sea Fleet or the South China Sea Fleet at sea, and they cannot sail and explore at will.
However, although the specific strength of the Ming Dynasty was not explored as expected, the Ming ships and warships that sailed all the way from the Strait of Malacca to see the Ming Dynasty also made a preliminary estimate of the Ming Dynasty's maritime strength.
"Want to threaten Da Ming with force? Want to go to war with the Ming Dynasty? If you want to fight, then fight, Da Ming is not afraid! Zhu Ci said with a sneer.
Before the Three Kingdoms came, they were ready to start a war with the Ming Dynasty, when Zhu Ci hesitated to capture their colony, He Zeng put the Three Kingdoms in his eyes, since he wanted to go to war, then start a war, anyway, the Ming Dynasty will continue to expand in the future, after all, one day there will be a real big war, there is no difference between early and late.
"The Emperor Shengming!" As soon as Zhu Ci's words came out, the young official was the first to get excited.
"The Emperor Shengming!" Although some old ministers opposed the war, they would not come out to oppose this kind of situation related to the dignity of the Ming dynasty.
The Ming monarchs and ministers were unanimously not afraid of war and had a tough attitude.
"Da Ming will definitely regret it in the future, God will bless our Three Kingdoms fleet with victory!" The envoy of the Three Kingdoms shouted with a hideous face.
