"Our country has experienced two European wars. Although both were victorious, it was deeply involved in both wars and consumed too much national power. The national treasury has not recovered to this day. According to Kolbe's estimation, To return to the pre-war financial level, it will take at least twenty years of rest and recovery, or even longer. If the assassination of the Ming Emperor here really triggered a world war between two countries, or even more countries, the French Empire Is there any future left? Even if the Ming Empire did not send an army to land on our homeland, but only sent a navy to cut off our connections with African and Indian territories, our financial situation would be severely damaged. Who will give me five billion silver coins? Just agree to his request, otherwise there’s no need to talk!”
Louis XIV even thought that some people with ulterior motives did not want to help France seize the throne of world hegemony, but wanted to use the hands of the Ming Empire to eliminate France, or even eliminate themselves!
This is simply a group of bastards who try to steal everything from others. They have worked hard for many years and will never allow the French Empire to be destroyed in the hands of these scum!
Louis XIV did not just take the nobles to eat, drink and have fun in the Palace of Versailles. Now there were quite a lot of informants deployed across the country, and the factory guards of the Ming Empire were their template.
Summarizing the reports from various places, one conclusion can be drawn: many years ago, the remnants of the stone-throwing gang had regrouped and planned to have other plans...
At the beginning, the gang wanted to elect Prince Condé as king and at the same time drive out Prime Minister Richelieu, but was annihilated by the latter.
Now it seems that there are still many fish that have slipped through the net. Perhaps Richelieu and his successor Mazarin were too kind to the gang and should be eradicated.
Louis XIV did not choose to alert the enemy, but asked his men to continue to monitor them, not to act rashly, and to catch them all when the time was right.
The opportunity will come soon. For example, right now, the Emperor of the Ming Empire is visiting France. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
"boom!"
The first night Zhu Cixi stayed at the Palace of Versailles, he was awakened by the sound of cannons. The trip to France was really exciting!
Fortunately, the entire palace was full of guards inside and outside. They were members of Louis XIV's guard, and their loyalty was much stronger than that of the second and fifth guards.
"King, are you not scared?"
Louis XIV didn't even wear a hat, just put on his clothes and trousers, and hurried over to check on the situation.
"It's okay, don't worry!"
Zhu Cixiang had experienced pigtails besieging Beidu when he was a child, so he was not too afraid of such things.
"I have ordered the surrounding armies to encircle and suppress the rebels, and strive to eliminate the rebellion as soon as possible!"
Louis XIV was quite confident in this aspect, and he would not be as merciful as the two prime ministers this time.
"Okay, the emperor's majesty is unshakable!"
Zhu Cihong understood that Louis XIV had already grasped the situation and might be waiting to strike later.
"boom……"
As soon as he finished speaking, a hole was blown out of a corner of the Palace of Versailles, which shocked both emperors.
Fortunately, the lights were turned off inside, so his position would not be exposed due to the light.
Being able to aim directly, and the artillery hitting the target so accurately, shows that the rebels are no more than three thousand meters away from the Palace of Versailles.
"Your Majesty, it's not good!"
"What happened?"
"Some of the troops mutinied!"
"What? What's the reason?"
"According to what we captured from the prisoners, the rebels said that the royal family spends a lot of money every year and imposes heavy taxes on Zimin. Rather than being exploited, it is better for the emperor to abdicate, abolish the positions of emperor and king in the future, and follow the example of the Kimchi Kingdom in the East to achieve supply. Harmonize!"
"Damn it! This is my country! It's not the traitor's who spend all their time trying to evade taxes!"
The adjutant's words directly angered Louis XIV. Before he died, those people couldn't wait to kill themselves. Is this okay?
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
"Send people to the airport, mobilize King Qin's troops from all over the country, shrink the defense range, and hold the Palace of Versailles as the center, waiting for reinforcements!"
Louis XIV now doesn't know how many troops in the Paris area have mutinied, so he can only mobilize field troops to rescue him.
"Louis, I have two helicopters. Once they are filled with fuel, they can take off and go to the beach!"
"you mean……"
"Go to William III and ask him to send troops!"
Zhu Cixiang was embarrassed to say that your army was no longer reliable. Even if it came, it might mutiny on the spot.
Now, if it succeeds, there will be one kimchi on the east side and one kimchi on the west side.
This kimchi in the west still thinks it’s good not to have an emperor, it’s just...
France, without a boss, seemed to have only won one battle, and lost the rest including Algeria and Indochina.
There is one exception, and that is Napoleon!
This guy called for equality for everyone, but ended up ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor...
If we don't attack Russia, we can hold on for decades.
Of course, if his successor does not have the military talent of his predecessor, the French Empire will eventually come to an end.
The population of France is only that large, and the loss of 500,000 to 600,000 soldiers is still a veteran, which means that the war potential is almost exhausted.
It's far from that point now. When everyone is happy, they will sacrifice their dear European Emperor first!
This is equivalent to the French chaos breaking out in advance. It depends on how many people in Louis' family have lost their heads...
Zhu Cixiang
^0^ Remember in one second【】
He carried two helicopters with him, just for himself and Liu Xier.
Fang Yizhi didn't get his turn, so he had to imitate Liu Bang and run away at the critical moment.
The target is Calais?
No!
But Le Havre, the closer port to Paris, is only less than 180 kilometers away.
Two battleships and two cruisers of the Ming Empire Navy were docked there, so they were well prepared.
Seeing that the blades of the helicopter were already spinning, Louis XIV wanted to ask and go together, but he was too embarrassed to mention it.
"Hold on, I will bring the Dutch army over as soon as possible. The final victory must belong to us!"
Before leaving, Zhu Cixiang did not forget to give the other party a shot of chicken blood.
Fang Yizhi was left as a liaison officer, and had thousands of factory guards to protect him.
These people are also people who are good at conquering and fighting, and they are not the same as the generals of the Han Dynasty.
With a certain emperor's guard, plus Louis XIV's own guard, he could hold on for a while no matter what.
When I visited France for the first time, I was so frightened by the French natives that they ran away. It was an incredible experience.
If this matter is in the newspapers, the sales volume will definitely skyrocket...
As long as there is no malfunction, the helicopter will not get lost, because the outlet of the Seine River is Le Havre!
It took an hour for Zhu Cixiang and his little wife to arrive at their destination.
Without going to the dock, the helicopter landed directly on the modified landing platform at the rear of the warship.
"Set sail immediately! Go to Amsterdam! After leaving the port, move forward at full speed!"
"yes!"
Zhu Cixiang is still not sure whether Louis XIV hired ordinary people actors to play with him, but if the group was unfortunately killed by artillery fire, this is probably not possible.
The French are very interesting. They hate the king who oppresses them, but they like their noble status very much!
I don’t want a king, but I like the aura of nobility.
I wanted to play constitutional monarchy, but ended up making peace!
The little episode is Louis XVI, the grandson of Louis XIV.
A large number of French troops were sent to participate in the war in North America to help the local indigenous people resist the British attack.
In the end, he helped the United States complete the founding of the country, but then France collapsed. In the end, the founding father of the United States was beheaded by the French natives!
Zhu Cixi had to praise the fearless and selfless spirit of Louis XIV's second-rate grandson!
"Chaos in France?"
William III did not expect that the other party would come so quickly, and his visit to the Netherlands would only be a week later. After listening to the other party's introduction, he knew that the situation was not good.
"This is a personal letter from Louis XIV!"
Zhu Cihong was not one to talk nonsense, so before leaving, he asked Louis XIV to write a personal letter, which briefly stated that he hoped that the other party could help his brother.
"...Then what should I do?"
After reading it, William III had to think about it. After all, this was not a trivial matter. He had never thought that France could become like this.
"Assemble troops. The more the better. I will pay five million silver coins. If there are French warships participating in the rebellion at sea, my fleet will fight side by side with your navy!"
"……good!"
Since the other party provided money and warships, Williams III had no reason to shirk.
It was not easy for his allies to ask for something from him, and this was a good opportunity to owe him a favor.
The Netherlands has two marine brigades and eight army infantry brigades, with a total strength of 50,000.
The rest are stationed overseas, such as Britain, East Africa, India, South America and other places.
Only these ten brigades can be mobilized immediately, and they cannot all be mobilized. Some must be left for home defense.
The Netherlands does not have many ground troops on the mainland. The main reason is that the Parliament has judged that the European War is over and no large-scale war will break out in the short term.
In addition, it has concluded an alliance with France and will not be invaded by France on land. The Holy Roman Empire is still a mess, and the military pressure on the Dutch mainland is not great.
Regarding the chaos in France, William III had to obtain the consent of Parliament before he could fully intervene in France, although he also wanted to try his best to save his ally who usually looked at people with his nostrils.
The Dutch model is somewhere between France and Sauerkraut. The head of state does not have that much power, but he also has a certain say. Thousands of things to do
But William III was still afraid that once France capsized, the situation of annihilating the monarch would spread to the Netherlands.
The final result is for himself and even the entire family to follow in the footsteps of the Louis family, even if the Netherlands has not discovered this sign yet.
According to the plan temporarily agreed upon by Williams III and Zhu Cixiang, the two Dutch marine brigades set off first, landed at Calais, and then advanced along the railway line toward Paris.
It would be better if the railway can still be used, but this is unlikely, so we can only prepare for the worst.
Next, Zhu Cixiang will go to Sweden!
Assuming that the Dutch Parliament refuses to send troops, or the Dutch army is really not enough, then there will be Laukar XI.
The Netherlands is very capable at sea, but may not be able to defeat the French rebels on land. Sweden is more reliable.
Saving Paris is only the first step in the plan, which may lead to large-scale civil unrest in France.
If Louis XIV was to secure his throne, joint European intervention was inevitable.
Zhu Cixiang didn't want to go to Leopold's place at all, otherwise the guy would ask for a lot of money again.
Go directly to Polo Fort to let your dog
^0^ Remember in one second【】
Just use your legs to help in the battle. At least three brigades of troops can be dispatched.
King Carl XI of Sweden was also quite surprised when he saw Zhu Cixiang who suddenly came to visit him. When he saw Louis XIV's autograph letter, he couldn't believe the content.
Before this, the Swedish navy and garrison forces at the port would have thought that they were about to be attacked by the enemy if they had not seen the flag on the opponent's warship.
Zhu Cixiang brought three battleships and six cruisers. When necessary, each battleship can carry at least a thousand Swedish soldiers.
Karl XI did not hesitate to send troops, because unlike William III, who still had the fetters of parliament behind him, Sweden was a country where the king's power was supreme.
Ten brigades with 50,000 men can be mobilized in a short period of time, and a comparable force can be mobilized later, but...
After Zhu Cixiang promised to spend 10 million silver coins as the opponent's military salary, there would be no difficulty!
The meeting with Karl XI was very short, because Zhu Cixiang had to go to Polo Castle to directly mobilize his lackeys.
By the time the fleet arrived in port, the telegram had been sent to Moscow.
Zhu Cixiang has no intention of changing the name of this city, because keeping the original name will give him a sense of conquest!
Zhang Huangyan immediately called back, and the emperor first commanded the three brigades of Boluo Fort, and then he transported ten brigades of troops along the railway.
The Faroe Islands and Shetland Islands purchased from the Netherlands and the Gotland Island purchased from Sweden had very few garrisons and could not be counted on at all.
In the event of an emergency, the only way to mobilize troops from the Western Governor's Region is by rail. Fortunately, there are many merchant ships at the Port of Boroburg, so there is no lack of shipping capacity.
Whether Louis XIV could hold out until reinforcements arrived, Zhu Cihong couldn't care so much.
After defeating the rebels, we can go and congratulate you!
On the contrary, we can commemorate you...
To be fair, France's tax level is the same as that of Ming Dynasty, both are 20%, which is definitely not high.
But the French nobility and wealthy gentry were not as peaceful as the Ming Dynasty.
Especially after Louis XIV adopted a soft approach, everyone thought that this monarch was a man who was strong on the outside but was strong on the inside.
Except for Richelieu and Mazarin who suppressed the stone-throwing gangs twice, almost nothing similar happened in mainland France.
This gave those remnants the time and opportunity to develop secretly. When they became powerful, they openly challenged the emperor like they are now...
A certain emperor also faced this situation at first, but after repeated harvesting several times, the remaining people became much more honest.
There have been only two rebellions in recent years, and both were quickly resolved by the army.
There are very few troops stationed everywhere, and if something happens, the rebels will not be able to bribe enough officers and soldiers.
The counter-rebellion armies coming from other places will not care about the life or death of the local wealthy gentry. As long as they can please the Holy Lord, death is just a number.
With the Hercules bomber, it was even easier.
There was a rebellion in that city, so hundreds of bombers went over and bombed it indiscriminately.
The other side has an air force, and even if it is outnumbered and outnumbered, it will eventually be wiped out.
Most smart people will not cooperate with someone who is trying to rebel, but will choose to report...
Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
