For example, when we arrived at the French Revolution in the early 18th century, Belgium today should be the territory of Habsburg, that is, the Austrian Netherlands. Of course, the picture above is not marked because it is too far away from Austria.

But even places as close to Vienna as Salzburg were to be very close to Vienna, due to its strong local power, it was not fully incorporated into the Habsburg Monarchy until 1816.

Emperor Hua and Count Andrach just greeted each other politely, and were chatting at other times.

A sophisticated politician like Count Andrashi will definitely not come up and tell you any substantive issues. Moreover, Count Andrashi did not intend to tell any substantive issues to Emperor Hua. He came here in person out of etiquette.

In front of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, China was not worth enough. At least, it was the case in the hearts of European nobles, including the Earl Andrach.

Seeing that Count Andrachy had the intention to leave, the cute president smiled and said, "I wonder if the Prime Minister has heard of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence proposed by our China?"

Earl Andrach was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that this child would take the initiative to set questions for himself, and shook his head with a smile, "I'm sorry, I haven't heard of it."

The cute president smiled and said, "Can you listen to me for a brief explanation?"

Earl Andrach was a little displeased. This way of talking was a bit disrespectful and was a way of overlords. However, the politeness of a nobleman made him unable to interrupt others at this time and said, "Please say it, Your Majesty."

The Emperor Hua concisely said the basic content of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, and then solemnly said: "The development and changes of the world show that people are the creators and promoters of history. The torrents of history are circling and surging, and the trend of human society towards progress is unstoppable. Any country, relying on its own strength, superstitious about force, seeking hegemony, and implementing expansion policies, is doomed to fail. Making excuses to infringe on the sovereignty of other countries and interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, will eventually reap the consequences. Regardless of the colorful objective reality of the contemporary world, it attempts to

It is unpopular to others by imposing their own social system, development model and values, and they are often threatened by isolation and sanctions. This kind of domineering behavior can only start with harming others and end up harming oneself. With the unfair and unreasonable international economic order, it is unpopular to build your own development on the basis of poverty and backwardness in other countries. The attempt to take over world affairs and dominate the fate of the people of other countries is increasingly unfeasible. In short, all actions that violate the trend of the times and violate the fundamental interests of the people of all countries will inevitably be boycotted and opposed."

Earl Andrachy coughed gently and cleared the phlegm in his throat. Although Emperor Hua did not directly talk to him about the restriction issued by the British, in fact, at this time, the relationship between China and Britain was on the verge of declaring war and was about to break out! But Emperor Hua said a lot of hypocritical words, how could he not understand what Emperor Hua meant?

In fact, every politician has agreed in his heart since Emperor Hua proposed the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence. However, the mainstream of the international community is the expansion of the great powers, and the great powers will definitely not agree with this view. However, Emperor Hua stood on the moral commanding heights, and no country could stand up to oppose it. Saying that the proposition put forward by Emperor Hua was problematic and that the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence was problematic, which was equivalent to a change of recognition that he was the devil of mankind, and the blame was not easy to bear.

"I think it's good." The old fox Count Andrach smiled. As a politician, it was much simpler to agree and oppose it, and it made Emperor Hua look aimless in an instant.

"We have always advocated that all countries should abide by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and the recognized basic norms of international relations. The affairs of all countries should be decided by the governments and peoples of the country. Things in the world should be negotiated equally by governments and peoples, and oppose all forms of hegemony and power politics. The international community should establish a new security concept with mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality and cooperation as the core, and strive to create a long-term stable, safe and reliable international peace environment. All countries should strengthen economic and technological exchanges and cooperation, gradually change the unfair and unreasonable international economic order, and enable economic globalization to achieve the goal of win-win and coexistence."

A smile: "History and reality show that peace cannot be achieved by force, nor can it be maintained by military alliances. Breaking international strategic balance and developing cutting-edge weapon systems will only trigger arms races and endanger world peace. Strengthening and expanding military alliances will only create more unstable factors and damage international security. No country can build its own security on the basis of damaging the security interests of other countries. Abandon the Cold War mentality, break the "weapons theory", and establish and implement a new security concept with mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality and cooperation as the core, so as to ensure world peace, stability and prosperity."

Earl Andrach looked at Emperor Hua patiently. He heard Emperor Hua say the truth, and felt a little regretful about coming here. He felt that even if he came here in person and expressed his respect for Emperor Hua, he should not have agreed to have dinner together just now, or should have invited Emperor Hua to his office to chat. In that case, the time of the conversation will be in his hands. Now it will be different. It is very rude to leave halfway through the meal.

However, if he doesn't leave, Count Andrashi knows that Emperor Hua may be about to talk about Britain! Count Andrashi does not want to intervene in such sensitive international issues. If he intervenes in similar conversations, even informal talks will have a certain impact on him personally.

What surprised Count Andrashi was that after talking about his foreign policy, Emperor Hua did not tell Count Andrashi that he had rejected the British restriction order!

Instead, it talked about the history of China: "For more than two hundred years of foreign rule and fraud left a remnant of doubt and distrust. Understanding this is crucial to doing business in China. It began as early as 1793, when Lord George Macartney led a British fleet to the northern port of China. As one of King George III's most experienced diplomats, Macartney intended to open up a broad Chinese market for British merchants. This was originally a discussion on fairness. China exported silk and tea.

, products such as furniture and porcelain, rarely or even never import anything. Money flows into China—about 20 million ounces of silver per year—but never out. So Macartney brought the best products produced in Britain, using about ninety horses and three thousand coolies to transport the gifts to the palace. Among them were rifles, cannons, the best wool textiles piled up in mountains, and a hot air balloon equipped with a driver. But Macartney did not understand China's deep indifference to the rest of the world. China was when

It was the most prosperous and most populous country in the world. The negotiations between Macartney and the Han people representing the emperor turned into an endless dance. On the feasts again and again, Macartney asked to meet the emperor, present the gifts he brought, and be able to enter the Chinese market to a greater extent. The Han people praised his gifts and explained that it would take time to arrange his meeting with the emperor. The diaries and letters of both sides revealed a surprising difference in everyone's understanding of what happened at the banquet.

Macartney and his subordinates claimed that they had won the trust of the Han people and were ready to leave Beijing. The Han people in their messages to the emperor said how they set more obstacles for them while soothing the arrogance of the barbarians. They expected that foreigners would soon feel bored and sailed away. Macartney submitted a letter to King George, saying that China did not need any British products. The letter also warned: The king should only be good at my will, and to encourage sincerity. He will be obedient to protect the country and share the blessing of peace."

This is a story about foreigners interacting with China in the early Qing Dynasty.

Earl Andrach looked at Emperor Hua for no reason, wondering why Emperor Hua told him this story. On the one hand, he was surprised by Emperor Hua's fluent English speaking, and on the other hand, he was thinking about what it means?
