New Ming Empire mixed in America

Chapter 407 You only have two choices, friend or foe!

The last attempt to cut off the immigration route in the Pacific was their attempt, but this attempt obviously did not achieve the results they wanted, as evidenced by the destruction of the Kingdom of Hawaii.

Spain's colonial rule was broken, which was beyond the expectations of some European countries that liked to be troublemakers.

They couldn't understand why the Xinming Empire attacked Spain smoothly. In their eyes, there was simply no benefit at all.

So wait for the news to reach the Black Sea via telegraph wires from some of Victoria's crown jewel countries.

Through the navy stationed on the Black Sea, the Ottoman Empire's telegraph lines were used to cross Europe, and then across the English Channel to the hands of Queen Victoria, the leader of the shit stick.

This European old Buddha looked at the sentence marked on the intelligence, 'Because his compatriots, the brutal dictators of the Xinming Empire overturned Spanish colonial rule.' He sneered as if he had seen something funny.

She simply did not believe that anyone in this world would go to war with an established powerful country for such a ridiculous reason.

It was already February 1864, and the workers' demonstrations in London had almost subsided.

After arresting some of the leaders and throwing them in jail, and allowing the capitalists to temporarily take a step back, workers' strikes and demonstrations have rarely occurred.

As for those workers who still refuse to give up, the British government has many ways to deal with them.

"For the sake of our compatriots?" Victoria Lafayette clicked her tongue, then put this ridiculous information aside and looked at the world map below that was sent back together.

After seeing the world map above, the expression on the European Lafayette's face finally changed.

"How dare he?" He patted the exquisite table in front of him, and the European Lafayette's anger showed no signs of weakening.

"Quickly, summon the envoy from France. This is the oriental dictator's attempt to sow discord!"

I saw the palace envoy retreating in a hurry to prepare to summon the French envoy.

The European Lafayette's eyebrows still didn't relax. She could imagine what trouble would happen in the British colonies after this world map was released.

Especially the British Isles, which has been maliciously shrunk, and even maliciously differentiated Ireland by accentuating the color and adding English.

Seeing this world map in which only Europe had clearly divided spheres of influence, the European Lafayette sighed.

Then she looked at the location of Asia, but found that the division of power in Asia had been blurred.

The same is true for the Americas. The African continent and India are marked with the colonial divisions of European countries there.

Anyone who looks at this map of the world will have the idea that this is not the case with English.

Especially the miniature British Isles simply sent a signal to the whole world that the British were not as powerful as they imagined.

Just when the European Lafayette sighed, the vanguard fleet led by Zhu Zhiwen had already approached Bandar Seri Begawan.

Seeing several small boats from the Kingdom of Brunei appearing in front of the vanguard fleet, Zhu Zhiwen shook his head and was speechless for this Brunei country that could not see the form clearly.

This is obviously a matter between the Xinming Empire and the Dutch, but the Kingdom of Brunei chose to intervene. Do they really think that the Xinming Empire is easy to bully?

Soon, the Brunei envoy who came with him in a small boat boarded Zhu Zhiwen's flagship.

"Dear Qing Dynasty..."

Zhu Zhiwen's eyebrows furrowed as soon as the Brunei envoy spoke stumbling Chinese.

"Sorry, I think you may have some misunderstanding."

Zhu Zhiwen waved his hand to interrupt the Brunei envoy and said: "We are the fleet of the New Ming Empire, not the Puppet Qing Dynasty!"

After emphasizing this sentence, he looked at the awkward-looking Brunei envoy with a sullen face, and said in a somewhat unhappy tone:

"When you decided to intervene in this war, didn't you do a good job in intelligence work?"

"I would like to advise you, the last enemies of the Xinming Empire, the Spanish in Manila, their heads are still on display at the port of Manila!"

Regardless of the sweat on the Brunei envoy's head, Zhu Zhiwen squinted his eyes and asked:

"Have you decided now to join us in the war with the Dutch in Borneo?"

The Brunei envoys, with the help of translators, already knew who they were dealing with, and had no doubts about the Spaniards in Manila being turned into Jingguan.

Because this kind of thing could be confirmed with a little inquiry, he believed that the high officials of the Xinming Empire with its powerful fleet would not deceive him on such a matter.

So now he already regrets getting involved.

But he also had his own difficulties. Envoys from the Netherlands and England had just visited him not long ago, and promised to help them mediate the friction with the Brooke dynasty.

Coupled with the pressure from the Bruneian traitors funded by the Brooke Dynasty, that's why he took this trip.

But now it seems that he must have done a stupid thing. If the new Ming Empire that he just heard about did not have the strength, the Dutch and the British would not make a promise to the Kingdom of Brunei together.

But this matter has already been approved by the King of Brunei. In his arms now lies the telegram with the order of the King of Brunei.

"I...we, the Kingdom of Brunei, have no intention of going to war with your country, but after all, this is the sea area of ​​the Kingdom of Brunei..."

Listening to what the Brunei envoy said, Zhu Zhiwen laughed angrily.

"This is the sea area of ​​the Kingdom of Brunei?"

"Why do I see that all the merchant ships flying the Dutch flag and the British flag appear on the sea here? Even the navy here is owned by the Dutch."

Looking at the ugly-looking Brunei envoy, Zhu Zhiwen did not let him go and continued:

"Is Bandar Seri Begawan really a bay in Brunei? How come I heard that the forts, warships, soldiers, merchants, banks...all here are Europeans?"

After finishing speaking, he took off a bayonet from his waist, found a crown coin from his money bag and handed it to the Brunei envoy, saying:

"This is the choice that our Xinming Empire gives you. Whether you choose to be a trading partner or an enemy is all at the whim of your king."

"Okay, now you can go back and ask your king..."

"By the way, no matter what choice you make, we will still attack Bandar Seri Begawan. Please go back and evacuate your people as soon as possible. It will not be good if you are accidentally injured."

After saying that, someone sent the Brunei envoy back to his own boat.

He had no intention of embarrassing the envoy. After all, the other party was just a sounding board, and venting his anger on this guy would have no effect at all.

Then he sent a communication ship and rushed towards the location of the main force of the Pacific Fleet behind.

He wanted to report his handling of the Kingdom of Brunei to his immediate boss, Cheng Yuanliang.

If Cheng Yuanliang knows, it means that Li Mingqi knows, so the next affairs in the Kingdom of Brunei have nothing to do with him.

Now he has only one purpose, which is to destroy the Dutch military port in northern Borneo.

After eradicating this area, the only remaining Dutch power was the port and garrison in the Banyan Kingdom in South Borneo.

Just when the vanguard fleet was about to set sail again, another temporary gunboat group of more than a dozen merchant ships appeared near Bandar Seri Bega Bay.
