Chapter 266: Destiny is just an excuse (first update, please subscribe)
Americans have never been Indians or indigenous people!
Americas are Spanish, Portuguese, and Europeans. When they came here, they became Americans. The same is true for the Chinese now.
What a heartbreaking answer!
But it is what it is, no matter how much you deny it, no matter how much you disagree with it, it is an ironclad fact. Indians... who cares.
In fact, the same is true for the Chinese. If South China does not have strong strength, no one will care. Of course, the Chinese will become Americans when they come here, but they will be the kind of Indians.
"Don't you want to conquer Chile and Argentina? How do you win the recognition of those Americans? She is your tool to gain recognition! Her title, her bloodline!"
Seeing Elizabeth's serious look, Zhu Xianhai couldn't help but feel a little bit anxious. He leaned on the back of the bed, frowned and said, "Elizabeth, if I marry another woman, won't you be jealous at all?"
Elizabeth glared at Zhu Xianhai unhappily, and then, in an instant, her bright eyes showed deep love again. She bit her lips and said:
"No matter what, you are the love of my life and the father of my children... Our fates were tied together in Buenos Aires. What else can I be jealous of?"
Having said this, Elizabeth's expression suddenly became extremely serious.
"But dear, I have said in the past that I am your mistress, a mistress who belongs only to you. Now and in the future, you will always be my favorite, but dear, you must have a wife whose status matches yours, your empire..."
Elizabeth, sitting on the bed, looked at him seriously.
"You must have a queen whose status matches yours. This is for the future of your empire and also for the future of your children!"
Well……
Zhu Xianhai frowned.
"I don't give a shit!"
"I said, you don't care, but more than 10 million Americans do. Chileans care, Argentines care, and in the future there will be Paraguayans, Peruvians, Bolivians, Ecuadorians, even Colombians, Venezuelans, and Brazilians! They all care!"
Elizabeth said.
"You think this land is a republic, so their people love the republic? But what's the reality? When Argentina became independent, they sent people to Europe to try to find a king for themselves. This is the case in Chile, Peru, and almost everywhere else. The republic is just a product of compromise. How many people really care about the republic? For politicians, whether it's a republic or an empire, it's just a name!"
Zhu Xianhai had no doubts about Elizabeth's words. Who are the corresponding politicians or political elites in South America?
Aren’t they the literati of the late Ming Dynasty?
Among those scholars and officials, there were certainly men of noble character and lofty ideals who were willing to sacrifice their heads to defend China, and there were also slaves who were willing to be driven by foreign races.
Whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, it is just a name. As long as they can maintain their own interests, it is enough!
"My dear, perhaps you can occupy Chile by force, but what you need is to conquer it, conquer the people there, and make them willingly accept your rule. But how can you make them accept your rule?"
Elizabeth's bright eyes looked at Zhu Xianhai, her gaze clear and firm.
"Her title is a transition, a reason for the local elites to accept your rule, or a cover! With this cover, they can cooperate with the invaders without any psychological burden."
"Okay, I kind of know. This title is similar to the Mandate of Heaven in Chinese..."
What title, what destiny? To put it bluntly, it's just a reason, an excuse.
Of course, everyone will give an excuse with a high-sounding name.
Just like the so-called love at first sight, it is actually nothing more than lust at first sight.
Zhu Xianhai couldn't help but sarcastically said.
"It's just to find an excuse for their treasonous behavior. With the Mandate of Heaven, the scholars can openly sell out their country. With her title, they can openly sell themselves to the invaders."
Everything is nothing but a cover, be it destiny or title, to put it bluntly, it is all to find an excuse for selling out the country for personal gain.
With this excuse, the scholars and ladies surrendered to the enemy; with this excuse, the nobles happily pledged allegiance to their new master.
Whether it is China or Europe, to put it bluntly, the political elites are surprisingly consistent. Everything they do is ultimately based on personal interests. As for the country, the individual is far above the country!
This is definitely not good news for the emperor or king, but it is the best thing for the foreign conquerors. With these willing guides, they can better conquer this land and rule the people on this land.
"My dear, it's good that you understand. This was once a Spanish colony. As a former subject, it's normal for you to serve the King of Spain! Promise me, my dear, to conquer it for the sake of your empire!"
Looking at the woman in front of him, he weighed the pros and cons in his mind for a while. Marrying her would indeed bring certain benefits. What was the biggest benefit?
It can effectively reduce the resistance of countries like Chile. Even a barbaric country like the Qing Dynasty knew to throw down a few carrots. If you want the "literati" in South America to willingly eat those carrots and serve as pioneers for the invaders, you have to give them a reason - in this case, there is no difference between "title" and "destiny".
Zhu Xianhai couldn't help but sigh.
"Elizabeth, this is the second time you've urged me to sacrifice my looks!"
Zhu Xianhai couldn't help but complain.
"I obviously make a living by my strength, but you always make me sacrifice my looks!"
Last time, Elizabeth had advised him to marry the daughter of a Mapuche chief, but in the end he relied on his power to make the Mapuche chiefs choose him as king, and now? She once again advised him to sacrifice his looks and marry a Spanish princess, the kind with an empty title.
Of course, deep down in his heart he was moved, because the woman in front of him was devoted to him wholeheartedly, whether from the time they met until now.
Almost every time, the woman in front of him always had reasons to move him and even be grateful.
"My dear, you obviously have the beauty but you don't sacrifice it. Can you be worthy of God?"
Elizabeth looked at Zhu Xianhai affectionately and smiled:
"Trust me, you won't regret it. I know them better than you do...Title!"
After a pause, Elizabeth said in a sarcastic tone.
"For those people, the meaning of a title is more than just a title. For thousands of years, Europeans have been obsessed with this kind of title. Even in the New World, the title is noble. With this title, former resisters will become collaborators, and collaborators will become followers. Just like Chile, now to the Chileans, you are an invader, but when she becomes your wife, believe me, at that time, to the Chileans, you are the king! You are their king!"
