Chapter 920 Hua Alliance(1/2)
Zhu Cixi nodded:
"Yes, there is no problem in selling cigarettes and fire starters. I can also give some to you. When you come to see me today, you are not just buying cigarettes, right?"
After Zhu Cixiang reminded them, the kings remembered the business and said one after another:
"That's right, we are not here to buy cigarettes. We want to establish diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty. As long as the Ming army does not invade our country, we are willing to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty and pay tribute every year..."
"oh……"
Although Zhu Cixiang guessed the purpose of their meeting, he did not expect that they would speak so directly and actually volunteer to become a Ming vassal!
The Ming Dynasty destroyed three countries in more than two months, among which the Rakshasa Kingdom was a powerful empire.
The kings of small countries had no choice but to do this. It was better to be a vassal state than to be destroyed. As long as they were better with the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty should look down on their little territory.
Among several countries, the Holy Roman Empire seemed very powerful, but now it is just an empty frame and has no ability to confront the Ming Dynasty.
The strongest one is Sweden. Unfortunately, Sweden's most powerful king forced himself to show off and charged into the battle himself but was killed by gunmen. Sweden has never recovered since then.
These emperors guessed well. The Ming Dynasty didn't like this poor place in Europe at all. What did they have? It was not as good as Australia and America.
Attacking Europe was to retaliate against their bullying of China in later generations. Zhu Cixiang wanted to completely defeat them.
Let them know that once China, which convinces people with reason, becomes ruthless, it is not a small country that can compete with it.
The world is so big. Although Ming Dynasty is strong, it cannot control it. Europe has no resources and will only consume Ming Dynasty's national power.
Zhu Cixiang planned to organize a group of younger brothers to see who didn't like it and let them deal with it. Ming only had to sit in and take command.
If he doesn't obey, beat him until he obeys. If he doesn't obey, destroy the country, and then distribute their land to the younger brothers. The younger brothers will work more energetically in the future.
Seeing Emperor Ming deep in thought, everyone stared at Emperor Ming, hoping to hear the results they wanted.
Zhu Cixiang slowly raised his eyes and looked at the emperors of the six kingdoms. He saw that they were very nervous and knew that they were worried about the Ming Dynasty annexing their land.
Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly and said loudly:
"Think clearly, this is your initiative. I have not exerted any pressure. Don't say that Ming Dynasty is suppressing you."
Having said this, Zhu Cixi looked at several emperors again, and suddenly the conversation changed:
"If the Ming Dynasty wants your land, it only needs to give an order and it can destroy any of them within three days. Do you believe it?"
Zhu Cixiang was telling the truth, and he even threatened to destroy the kings of several Western countries at any time if they were not honest.
The strength of these countries is far inferior to that of the Rakshasa Kingdom. Hearing this, he nodded hurriedly:
"I believe that we voluntarily become the Ming Dynasty, and I sincerely ask His Majesty the Ming Emperor for permission..."
Seeing that they had no objection, Zhu Cixi said calmly:
"The Ming Dynasty does not want you to be a vassal state, nor do you want you to pay tribute. I want to form an imperial alliance headed by the Ming Dynasty. After the alliance is established, you can trade with the Ming Dynasty. If any country dares to provoke any country in the alliance, the alliance will immediately send troops to destroy it!"
Quiet, very quiet, you can only hear the rapid breathing of the emperors...
The Ming Emperor's suggestion shocked the Western countries.
They thought about many outcomes, but they never thought that Ming would establish an alliance with them.
From now on, they will be the younger brothers of Ming Dynasty. Ming Dynasty will not destroy them, and other countries will not dare to provoke them.
The emperors all felt as if they were in a dream, and it took them a while before they realized what was happening.
Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I asked in disbelief:
"Your Majesty the Great Emperor, are you kidding me?"
Zhu Cixi shook his head:
"You have no joke, please think about it for two days and then give me an answer. I am very busy and will not ask you to stay today."
After Zhu Cihong said this, he issued an order to expel the guests.
Several excited people wanted to kowtow to the Ming Emperor to thank them, and did not plan to leave Warsaw before signing the contract.
Several people stood up and bowed deeply to Zhu Cixiang:
"Your Majesty the Great Emperor, we don't need to think about it. We can sign the alliance treaty today. Does His Majesty the Great Emperor have any other conditions?"
Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly:
"There are no conditions attached. After Ming Dynasty withdraws its troops, you six countries will help Ming Dynasty garrison troops and jointly be responsible for the security of Warsaw."
The emperors of the six kingdoms were overjoyed and said in unison:
"No problem. Please rest assured, His Majesty the Great Emperor. After the Ming Dynasty withdraws its troops, whoever dares to invade this land will be fought to the death by us."
In this way, the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire and other six countries and the Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Cixi signed an alliance treaty in Warsaw, and Zhu Cixi named the Warsaw Pact!
After the treaty was signed, Zhu Cihong didn't care if he let them go and start a world war.
Now there are hundreds of thousands of troops in the Ming Dynasty. The local Ming army has no use at all. It equips the Cossack cavalry and Mongolian cavalry with firearms and fights with invincible opponents all over Europe...
After the signing of the contract was completed, Zhu Cixi hosted a banquet in honor of the six emperors and gave them cigarettes and lighters.
Holding lighters and cigarettes in their hands, several emperors couldn't put it down and asked Ming Dynasty to provide cigarette lighters for a fee. If you have money and don't make bastards, Zhu Cixiang will certainly satisfy them...
Each lighter costs twenty taels of silver.
This price is definitely a luxury item for ordinary people, but they are all emperors, so this little money doesn't matter.
After seeing off several happy emperors, a sneer appeared on Zhu Cixiang's lips, and the era of dog eating dog began...
After the emperors left, Hu Dawei raised his hands and asked:
"Your Majesty, Ming Dynasty is so powerful, why do you still want to ally with them?"
Zhu Cixi patted Hu Dawei on the shoulder:
"The world is very big, and there are many countries. It is impossible to include them all in the territory. Someone still needs to take action for the interests of Ming Dynasty. They will be Ming Dynasty's thugs from now on!"
When the generals heard this, they suddenly realized:
"My emperor is wise!"
Europe is not a big country, but there are many countries. There are intrigues and wars between countries. Later, Britain and France emerged.
Zhu Cihong accepted his younger brother in order to deal with Britain and France in the future and not let them rise.
As long as they show signs of rising, Ming's younger brothers will cause trouble for them, cause friction, and drag them into the misery of war.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is the reason why Zhu Cixiang accepted his younger brothers. If they are disobedient, kill them to scare the monkeys.

15th
Emperor Shenwu of the Ming Dynasty issued a decree to abolish the title of the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania and rename it West China Province. Officials of the Ming Dynasty served as Chief Secretary and other positions.
He also established the Protectorate of the Western Army, named Zhang Jiayu the Marquis of the West, and appointed him as the Governor of the Protectorate of the Western Army. At the same time, he stationed 10,000 Ming troops, 2,000 Ming troops, 5,000 Mongolian cavalry, and 3,000 Cossack cavalry.
The national title of Poland and Lithuania was banned, and the national title of Rakshasa must also be banned.
After dealing with matters in West China Province, Emperor Shenwu led his army back to Moscow...
After a day's rest, Emperor Shenwu announced that he would abolish the Rakshasa Kingdom and establish North China Province, which became the largest province in the world.
After the establishment of North China Province, the Protectorate of the Northern Army was established, and Zhang Huangyan was granted the title of Marquis of Zhenbei. He also served as the Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Army and led an army of 100,000 to guard North China Province.
There are 20,000 Ming troops in this 100,000-strong army, and all the other soldiers are Ming Xie troops.
Since then, apart from the casualties, half of the 150,000 Ming Alliance troops fighting against Rakshasa have remained in North China and West China Provinces.
Of course, the Ming Xie Army all received rewards. The Ming Xie Army commander with the best performance was granted the title of Viscount, and everyone else received upgrades and financial rewards.
The soldiers of the Ming army who fought in this campaign will all be rewarded, but not now, when they move their troops back to Beijing, they will be rewarded again.
In addition to the two newly established provinces, Siberia was changed to Northwest Province, with a garrison of 5,000, and officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Ming Dynasty were assigned to serve.
The Yarkand Khanate, Jungar Khanate, Khoshuo Khanate, Oirat Khanate, Kazakh Khanate, Torgut Khanate and other khanates abolished their state titles and established Xinjiang Province.
Uzbekistan was under the rule of the Bukhara Khanate. Now that the Bukhara Khanate has been destroyed, Zhu Cihong established Tibet Province by adding part of the land of the Yarkand Khanate and the entire territory of the Bukhara Khanate!
Since then, the land in northwest China and the land in the Far East have all been included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty and have been actually controlled by the Ming Dynasty...
If a foreign enemy wanted to invade the mainland of Ming Dynasty from land, even if no one could resist them, it would take them several months to enter the border on horseback...
After staying in Moscow for a few more days and seeing that everything was normal, Zhu Cixiang decided to return to the DPRK.
…………
In the heavy snow, it took the Ming army more than three months to return to the capital, and the New Year was spent on the road.
…
Shenwu six years
The Ming Dynasty has undergone great changes. Steam engines have been installed on ships. Many large battleships have steam engines installed.
Railways are being built between various provinces in the Ming Dynasty, and many train lines will be opened soon...
Due to technical reasons, the train only has eight carriages and the speed is not very fast, only about fifty yards.
