Chapter 76: Declaration of War, Declaration of War, Declaration of War! Zhu Di is ready to go to extremes
The sky continues.

Empress Dowager Cixi:

[You, and the Emperor, please remember this. ]

[Today's battle is a settlement of decades of old and new grudges.]

[This war was not started by me, but by the foreigners! ]

[Your Majesty, you also said that we cannot win this battle, but if we cannot win, we will die, and if we don’t fight, we will also die! ]

[It is better to be beaten to death than to be scared to death! ]

Many ancient emperors, although satisfied with Empress Dowager Cixi's interference in government affairs, were somewhat dissatisfied with the Qing Dynasty's status as a barbarian dynasty.

But I heard Cixi say such tough and courageous words.

It was just a slight change in the attitude towards women in later generations.

I saw Cixi on the sky curtain slowly standing next to Emperor Guangxu.

He glared hard at him.

Emperor Guangxu wanted to say something, but he couldn't, so he could only kneel on the ground.

The emperor knelt down, and the ministers around him also knelt down one after another.

But Cixi, who was knelt down by the emperor, did not think there was anything wrong.

Cixi had a weird and eerie face.

He said in an extremely depressed tone:
[I will say this today. I declare war for the sake of my country and my people.]

[If this war fails, don't blame it on me alone.]

[They say that I, a woman, ruined the Qing dynasty. ]

[Your Majesty, you don't want to declare war, right? 】

[If you don't say it, then I'll say it. ]

[The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims:]

[The foreigners have bullied us too much, and our country is on the verge of extinction! ]

[Today, I weep to inform the ancestors, and show my generosity to my teachers and disciples. Rather than trying to survive in a cowardly way and bringing shame to the world, it is better to fight against the Tartars and decide the winner! ]

……

The camera gradually zooms out.

Cixi's voice rang out along with the bell declaring war.

【Qing Dynasty, to England.】

【Start the war! 】

【To France.】

【Start the war! 】

【To the United States.】

【Start the war! 】

【To the German state.】

【Start the war! 】

【To Russia.】

【Start the war! 】

【To Italy.】

[War begins!]

【To Austria.】

【Start the war! 】

【To Japan. 】

【Start the war! 】

[War! War! War! War!]

Together with the Netherlands, Belgium and Spain, Cixi declared war on eleven countries in one go!
And hear those famous names in World War II.

The ancient people were stunned!
If eleven countries cannot be called a declaration of war on the whole world.

The creator of this video wanted to make the audience more aware of the spheres of influence of these eleven countries at that time.

Specially produced follow-up content.

At the same time that Cixi declared war on a country.

Also on the world map, the spheres of influence of these countries declared war on are highlighted.

The first country to be declared war on was England.

And its sphere of influence shown on the world map is also very heavy.

[Declare war on England: including the British Isles, including all of Canada, including all of southern Africa, part of West Africa, and most of East Africa, including the entire Indian subcontinent, including part of the Arabian Peninsula, including the entire Australian continent, and some of the Southeast Asian islands.]

[Declare war on France: including mainland France, most of North Africa and West Africa, Madagascar Island, and half of Indochina.]

[Declare war on the United States: including the United States mainland and the entire Philippine Islands. 】

[Declare war on Germany: including Germany itself, including Namibia, Botswana, Cameroon and other German-controlled Africa. ]

[Declare war on Russia: Russia has few overseas colonies, but its land area reaches 22.8 million square kilometers. ]

[Declare war on Italy: including Italy, Libya, and African colonies such as Somalia in East Africa. ]

……

At the end of the video, the homelands and spheres of influence of all the countries declared war on were fully displayed!
The highlighted range on this map is extremely exaggerated!

From North America to Africa.

From Ireland to Khitan.

From the Arctic Ocean to New Zealand.

From the Indian subcontinent to Alaska.

Most parts of the world were at war with the Qing Dynasty.

And this is why Cixi's declaration of war on eleven countries can be called a declaration of war on the whole world.

After the last world war map, the sky screen video ended.

shocked.

Emperors of all dynasties were shocked!

Originally, after the previous World War II, everyone had a certain understanding of the world's top powers in the future.

We know that countries like Britain, France, the United States and Germany that played a big role in World War II are all tough guys that are not easy to mess with.

But even so, when everyone saw the sky curtain saying that Cixi declared war on the world.

Everyone still thinks it's a bit exaggerated.

After all, there are only 11 countries.

But now, when the sky curtain dyed the world map, showing the sphere of influence of the country declared war.

The ancients were deeply shocked by this!
Even Ying Zheng couldn't help but admire Cixi.

"This Empress Dowager Cixi is really domineering!"

“That sounds nice.”

"I just don't know if Cixi can withstand the powerful enemies from almost the entire world."

“It should be difficult.”

"I don't know if there will be any country in the future that can truly rival half of the world?"

tomorrow.

Zhu Di also discovered that the dress style of the later Qing Dynasty was very Jurchen in style.

This also made Zhu Di deeply wary.

Although Zhu Di couldn't understand why it was just a weak Jurchen tribe.

Is it possible to take over the Central Plains?

But although Zhu Di was angry, he also felt that it didn't matter.

Because Zhu Di had already made plans to destroy the Jurchen tribes and occupy the most fertile black soil in Northeast China in advance.

But after all, going to fight in that bitter and cold land requires preliminary intelligence reconnaissance and subsequent combat plans.

So it’s still relatively early.

In the previous plan, Zhu Di intended to destroy the Jurchen tribe.

But they only planned to destroy their organization, migrate their people to the interior, and gradually assimilate them into the Han people.

And now, Zhu Di's plan has become even more extreme.

Zhu Di said coldly:
"The Qing Dynasty of later generations, no matter how I look at it, I don't think you can fight the whole world on your own."

"Then let me help you."

"As long as you don't exist, there's no need to fight the whole world!"

While talking.

Zhu Di wrote a simple order by hand.

He asked his combat staff to formulate a new strategy against the Jurchens outside the Great Wall.

A more extreme battle plan!
This time.

No mercy!

Qing Dynasty.

Qianlong was in a complicated mood at this time.

Although Qianlong closed the country to the outside world.

But Qianlong himself was very knowledgeable about the West and had studied a lot about Western technologies, political structures, etc.

Even before seeing the Skydome video.

Qianlong knew that Britain, France and Russia were all top powers in the world.

After watching the video on the sky screen, Qianlong became even more certain.

Except Britain, France and Russia.

The strength of the United States, Japan, Italy and other countries is also very strong.

Even if it is at the worst, it still has millions of troops and is not just a weak or small country.

Qianlong already knew a lot about the situation in the West.

Now I watched it again, there are so many scenes about World War II.

They are even more deeply wary of those Western countries!

Qianlong felt: The strength of my Qing Dynasty should be equal to that of France. We can't defeat so many countries, right?
