Chapter 410 The edict

Historically, when the Sui Dynasty established its capital in Luoyang, there was a sky street that was 100 meters wide when the capital was built. The Tianjie in Luoyang, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was a bit more open, with cherry blossoms and peaches on both sides of the street, which was extremely magnificent.

The current layout of the capital is inherited from the previous Ming Dynasty. If it is said to be gorgeous, it is even more gorgeous than that of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. But if we say it's grand and majestic, I'm afraid it's far short of the mark.

Four years after the founding of the Xia Dynasty, the capital was also transformed.

For example, the avenue that leads directly from the main entrance to the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City was remodeled after the Tianjie Street in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is even more magnificent and is fifty feet wide.

The one-hundred-and-fifty-meter-wide street is breathtaking just thinking about it in your mind.

As the capital of Daxia, the seat of the emperor, and the most beautiful place, its layout and scale must naturally be magnificent in line with the majesty of the Daxia Empire.

According to the plan, the reconstruction of the capital outside the Forbidden City will last until at least the tenth year of the Chinese Era. By then, the appearance of the capital will have changed drastically, especially the Forbidden City. Although it has not yet begun to transform according to Ying Yi's ideas, detailed plans have been made.

Just as Ying Yi said to the queen and concubines, one day flying thousands of miles across the Forbidden City to patrol the world, this is the ultimate goal.

The return of the Europa mission did not cause any waves. The exchange of credentials should be done as it should be. There will be no change in what has been established.

As for the German Protestant princes, Sweden, and Denmark outside the five countries, they will also follow the precedent if they wish. If it is not intended, ignore it.

Except for Spain and Portugal, which probably belonged to the Habsburg dynasty, the countries that established diplomatic relations with the empire were all countries with mainstream Protestantism.

In Europe, the Habsburg system is probably the conservative side, while the Protestant countries are the emerging bourgeoisie.

"The current exchanges with the European countries will be based on mutual business exchanges and understanding and understanding of the details for a period of time." In the Emperor's Pavilion, Ying Yi put down a letter of credence and told the ministers: "It's just a general strategy. I have a plan in mind."

Zheng Yunzhi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please make it clear."

Ying Yi nodded: "European countries are divided into old and new, there are disputes over doctrines, and there are conflicts over interests, and there are many marriages and relationships between them. It is a mess inside, which is ridiculous. Generally speaking, regardless of interests, Hegemony and doctrine, in summary, are nothing more than old and new. And if Daxia wants to dominate the world, the Protestant countries of Europe are the biggest obstacle."

The Protestant countries of Europe were the main force in the Great Navigation. They colonized the world and plundered all the wealth. The old Habsburg dynasty was limited to Europe. In this way, the biggest obstacles to the Great Xia Empire were the Protestant countries.

"Now the empire is beyond the reach of the European countries, but it is not impossible to use measures against them." Ying Yi's eyes were uncertain: "Take one of them and beat them one by one. What suggestions do you have?"

"Of course we support the weak and defeat the strong." Huang Zongxi said without hesitation.

Ying Yi laughed loudly: "What Huang Qing said makes sense. Support the weak and attack the strong. What you say is sincere."

"However, the empire is a state of etiquette and cannot fight nameless and meaningless wars. I hope Your Majesty will learn from this!" Huang Zongxi said in a different tone.

Ying Yi laughed and shook his head: "It's not nameless."

Then he said: "Although the mainstream countries of the Habsburg dynasty system have not established diplomatic relations with the empire, I will be the mountain if the mountain is not mine. The empire is rich in products, and it is inevitable to develop commerce and increase the economy. What's more, the Habsburg dynasty, I It looks good. Some of the waste products eliminated by the army can be disposed of for them. It's just a purely commercial transaction."

Ministers, you looked at me and I looked at you, and they all laughed.

Huang Zongxi sighed: "I heard that they have just finished a war that lasted for thirty years, and I am afraid that they will start fighting again soon."

Ying Yi said: "That's their own business, what does it have to do with me?"

Then he said: "The Great Xia united the world to inherit the pioneering ambitions of the Yanhuang and spread the civilization and glory of the Xia all over the world, so that the barbarian barbarians could also have the opportunity to bathe in civilization. The barbarian barbarians did not know the written language. I deeply sympathize with those who do not understand etiquette, have no morals, and do not respect order. The sage said that there is no distinction between religions, and this is true. However, the European countries only know how to plunder, and invade and squeeze them with violence, and make them suffer with evil thoughts. Depravity is extremely hateful. When the civil war begins, I will save all living beings in the world and let them bathe in the glory of the summers."

...

Letting the whole world bathe in the glory of Zhu Xia will not happen overnight. The most important thing at the moment is to save the people of the South Vietnam Peninsula.

The emperor's edict of the Great Xia Empire was quickly transmitted to all the countries on the peninsula, causing an undercurrent.

Annan's Zheng family first received the edict, but after it was announced, her heart felt cold. Immediately summon civil and military officials to discuss the matter.

Annan has been deeply influenced by Zhu Xia in all dynasties, both in language and clothing. For example, the current civil and military personnel of the Zheng family are all dressed in the same etiquette as the previous Ming Dynasty.

Lord Zheng sat upright, with a gloomy look on his face, and said: "The Emperor of Xia Kingdom passed an edict, saying that the countries on the peninsula were in frequent disputes, and the people were in dire straits, and he wanted to mediate in the name of the country of the suzerain. As a lesson from the past, for the sake of future generations, we will Garrison troops in various countries. What do you think?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar.

"Xia Guo inherited the great rule of the Ming Dynasty and was a state of celestial etiquette. How could he be so shameless?!" A grey-haired veteran said angrily: "This wolf is so ambitious. He clearly wants to level the peninsula and uses this as an excuse! If he is allowed to station in Soldier, where is the majesty of Emperor Li? Where is the majesty of Lord Zheng?!"

Someone sighed: "What you said makes sense. But if you don't allow it, what will you do? The Zhennanguan army is watching with eager eyes, and we have suffered a lot from it in the past few years. If you refuse, it will be an excuse for the vassal to disrespect the lord." It is justifiable to send troops, why should we resist at this time?!"

There was total silence.

"This is a conspiracy. If someone is strong and we are weak, the result may not change if we allow it or not." One person said: "If you allow it, you will slow down your plan. If you don't allow it, you will make a hasty plan. The choice here is really difficult. How to make a decision, I only obey Lord Zheng’s words.”

Another person asked: "Maybe all the countries on the peninsula can join forces to fight together?"

Many ideas came to me at once.

To sum it up, there are only three. First, accept Daxia's imperial edict and hold the nose to allow Daxia's army to enter the country.

The second refused. In this way, Daxia will definitely send troops, and it will be extremely difficult to resist a thunderous strike.

Third, connect the South Vietnamese countries to fight against Daxia. It is said that if the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, if the skin is gone, how will the hair be attached? If the Zheng family dies and there is no barrier, other countries will bear the brunt. Only by uniting our forces can we be able to resist.

In the end, Master Zheng temporarily decided to use the procrastination technique first and procrastinate for a while. Then secretly contact other countries to see if there is any improvement.

If there is no turning point, it is never too late to bow your head. If there is a turning point, of course it would be best.

Like the Zheng family, the Ailao and Taungoo dynasties of Myanmar, which bordered Yunnan, also received imperial edicts. No matter what, they are all Zheng's general choices. Drag it first, if there is a turning point, then wait until there is no turning point.
