Chapter 502: Ming Dynasty's Letter to All Nations (Second Update, Please)
It is not possible to keep a low profile forever.
The purpose of keeping a low profile was to facilitate the introduction of immigrants. If they really mentioned "Ming Dynasty" every time, it is estimated that the Qing Dynasty would have directly promoted the people who recruited immigrants.
But today's Nanhua is no longer the Nanhua of yesterday.
Not to mention the population of eight million.
Today, South China not only occupies the entire territory of Chile and Argentina, but even as far north as Alaska, that is also South China's territory. As for the annexation of Paraguay, it is only a matter of time.
This is five million square kilometers of land, although the population of 8 million includes 2.4 million Chilean and Argentine whites and mixed-race people, and more than 800,000 Indians.
But with a population of nearly ten million and five million square kilometers of land, if we add British Columbia and the land obtained through coaxing and deceiving in Africa and the Pacific, the total area is at least six or seven million square kilometers.
What is this concept?
In the 21st century, South China's land area ranks 7th in the world, second only to Australia and nearly twice that of India.
Don’t even mention that Nanhua is so big now, it has already reached the point where it can no longer be hidden!
The glory of defeating two countries in a row in the past few years and the feat of the expedition to Europe have made the name of Nanhua famous all over the world.
If we say that Zhu Xianhai's main strategic approach in the previous ten years was to make a fortune quietly and lie dormant.
Well, now that it can no longer be concealed, there is no need to conceal it anymore!
Of course, more importantly, now that the Qing Dynasty has already signed a treaty with Nanhua, everyone already knows the truth, so why go around in circles and deceive themselves?
What descendants of the Ming Dynasty? No matter whether they are real or not, you have to accept it with a pinch of your nose. Why should you accept it?
My homeland is bright!
To put it bluntly, it is to allow people like Guo Songtao to willingly submit to the "orthodoxy", the Ming Dynasty, which is the orthodoxy of China!
What is the Qing Dynasty?
They are nothing more than a foreign race that has stolen the Chinese land.
With the title of "Da Ming", it would naturally be easier to recruit talents. Even for the Chinese people, "Da Ming" was more intimate than "Nanhua".
Guo Songtao certainly didn't know that one of his questions would actually cause the "Great Ming" to explode, and he didn't know what this meant. For him, who was suffering from a mental shock, he was probably thinking more about how the Great Ming and the Great Qing would get along in the future.
Zhu Xianhai didn't consider what Guo Songtao was thinking at all. After all, there were more important things for him now - returning to Nanhua, no, it should be returning to the Ming Dynasty.
After all, a monarch cannot stay in a foreign country for a long time, so he even had to give up his plan to visit Britain. In fact, there is nothing good to visit in Britain at this time. For Zhu Xianhai from the 21st century, there is really nothing good to visit in Britain at this time.
However, before leaving, Zhu Xianhai published a column article in the newspaper - "A Letter to All Nations".
To put it bluntly, the so-called "Letter to All Nations" was intended to cool down the situation. After all, the power demonstrated by Nanhua's expedition had already made the whole of Europe alert.
Even in Britain, Prussia and other countries, the term "yellow peril" has reappeared. Zhu Xianhai, of course, scoffs at this. What we have is a disaster, it is clearly the "scourge of God."
But sometimes, it is really necessary to bide one's time. When South China does not have the strength to challenge the European powers, there is nothing wrong with doing so for the time being.
In this "Edict to All Nations", Zhu Xianhai used very peaceful words, and directly told European countries that the Ming Dynasty was established in South America.
That’s right. It tells all countries directly that Nanhua is no longer Nanhua, but Ming Dynasty. This is equivalent to telling the world that Ming Dynasty is alive again.
That crooked tree hanged Chongzhen to death, but it could not kill the immortal soul of the Ming Dynasty!
Although in the "Edict", Zhu Xianhai mentioned the ancestral glory of the Zhu family to highlight the legitimacy of himself as a descendant of the Ming Dynasty.
However, they did not launch any offensive attack to demonstrate their unquestionable sovereignty over their homeland of China and Southeast Asia.
After all, this world has always been ruled by strength. Right now, our Ming Dynasty has certainly survived, and is no longer so cautious towards the Qing Dynasty.
But the problem is, what is South China, no, what is the Ming Dynasty facing in today's world?
It’s the Western powers!
Compared to fighting for the Chinese homeland, the most important thing right now is development. Development is the hard truth, and a strong fist is the hard truth.
Gambia’s talk is great, but what’s the use?
Libya's verbal attacks are enough to break people's steel.
Unless Le wants to form another Eight-Nation Alliance, he will have to lie low for the time being, for ten years, and then compete with the Western powers for ownership of this world.
Before that, just keep a low profile, there's nothing wrong with that!
Of course, Zhu Xianhai then changed the subject and said humbly that this expedition to France was entirely at the invitation of France's allies and was only to aid France. The Ming Dynasty was willing to develop friendly and neighborly relations with European countries.
Of course, it was emphasized again that the Ming Dynasty had no ambitions towards the neighboring countries, let alone expansion beyond South America.
Of course, as for Africa, it is just an investment. Africa is an unowned land and we can all develop it together.
If there is any dispute, it can be put on hold temporarily.
In other words, the purpose was to fool European countries. Whether they believed it or not was not important. What was important was to first establish the image of the Ming Dynasty as harmless to humans and animals, and then develop for a few years. After completing the "First Five-Year Plan", the Ming Dynasty would have the strength to compete with the European powers.
Once this "Letter to All Nations" was published, it caused quite a stir in Europe. They finally figured out the origin of that Nanhua... no, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. It turned out that he was indeed from a noble family, and a very noble one at that - a descendant of the Ming royal family.
European historians are not unfamiliar with the Ming Dynasty, and since Macartney's visit to China, no scholar has confused the Tatars with the Han Chinese. After all, "Macartney's Diary of a Visit to China" and the travel notes of the accompanying delegation members have been popular in Europe for decades.
After finding out about Zhu Xianhai's background, the people who felt the most pain were probably the Chilean and Argentine dignitaries who were exiled in Europe. They felt very upset.
You are the descendant of the Chinese emperor. If you want to restore your country, then go to China to restore your country. Why did you go to South America to "restore your country"? What kind of country are you restoring?
When will Chile and Argentina be able to restore their independence?
It was in this kind of frustrated mood that Nanhua, no, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the conqueror of Chile and Argentina, His Majesty Zhu Xianhai finally embarked on his journey home.
His Majesty the Emperor, faithful Buenos Aires has been waiting for the Emperor's return...
