Zhu Cihong did not need Louis XIV to exchange for other places besides the mainland. France could continue to retain French West Africa and French India.
Zhu Cihong has no interest in chimpanzees, and he is even less interested in his third brother who picks his feet, grabs food, and drinks water from the Ganges River!
Louis XIV felt that he had taken a huge advantage, and even began to wonder if this was a new package to destroy France.
Zhu Cixi will not suffer too much. The total area of France, Spain, Portugal, the Northern and Southern Netherlands, and the Kingdom of Naples reaches about 1.5 million square kilometers.
Louis XIV will receive five million square kilometers of land, which is equivalent to making three times as much money out of thin air. Taking this into account, Zhu Cixiang planned to use the Huaihe River and Qinling Mountains as the boundary.
Sichuan, Huguang, Zhejiang, southern Zhili, half of Henan, and half of Jiangxi were all assigned to Frederick the Younger. Louis XIV could get the entire northeast, the entire northwest, as well as Shandong, Shanxi, North Zhili, half of Henan, and the southern steppe area.
To be precise, the southern region controlled by the Netherlands and Prussia was almost the same as that of the Liu Song Dynasty, and the area of France was not inferior to that of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
The biggest difference between the north and the south is population! With the strong support of Louis XIV, the total population of the European mainland of France has exceeded 40 million, while the combined population of Prussia and the Netherlands is less than 15 million. The former is almost three times the latter.
Even if they go to those half-hearted guys on the Apennine Peninsula, the remaining number will not be less than 35 million, which is still more than twice the latter.
This is equivalent to the fact that after the Netherlands and Prussia moved to a new location, they had empty territory but did not have enough people to defend the territory. This was a great disadvantage.
To this end, in addition to letting Leopold and his sons and the entourage Alexander brought to Africa, Zhu Cixiang could allocate a population of about five million to Frederick the Younger.
Including two million Germans and three million Polites. If Frederick the Younger did not want to see the Polites, he could arrange for them to settle in Sichuan.
On the other hand, Zhu Cixi didn't want to see the Bolivian people growing potatoes on their own land anymore. These things, like some local gangsters, would never completely settle down.
Rather than leaving so many disasters that may break out at any time, it is better to give them to Frederick the Younger or William III to manage.
Russians and Poles in the northern part of the Ming Empire, as well as British, Spanish, Portuguese, and Apennines after taking over Prussia, the Netherlands, and France, can all come to settle in the Ming Dynasty.
After acquiring many islands such as Sardinia, Corsica, and Sicily in the Mediterranean, Zhu Cixi also planned to return Crete to Ibrahim.
When the Ming Dynasty moves to Europe, the relationship between the two parties will undergo subtle changes, and the Ming Dynasty Navy will no longer need to use Crete, which is close to the Ottoman Empire, as a naval base.
Half of the Mediterranean belongs to the Ming Dynasty. As long as the Ming Dynasty continues to maintain friendly relations with the Ottomans, there is no need to frequently set foot in the Eastern Mediterranean controlled by the other party.
On July 9, Emperor Leopold of the Holy Roman Empire, who was at the end of his rope, took his remaining approximately 2,000 garrison soldiers and formally submitted an unconditional surrender letter to Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces Zhang Huangyan and Commander-in-Chief of the Ottoman Army Rahim. .
This was not the end yet. Subsequently, Emperor Zhu Cihong of the Ming Empire, Ottoman Sultan Ibrahim, Emperor Louis XIV of Europe, Deacon William III of the Netherlands, King Carl XI of Sweden, and Duke Frederick the Younger of Prussia accepted Leopold. The surrender of Germany.
Both parties signed the agreement one after another, promising to treat the military minions in the city well, and at the same time giving the Habsburg family a guarantee to ensure that they would not be sent to Siberia to grow potatoes... Elector Albrey of Bavaria, who was controlled by Joseph Hit was also released. Even though he was in his forties, he still couldn't calm down his anger and wanted to kick Joseph to death.
Without this bastard, the Bavarian minions would not have suffered such heavy casualties. This was entirely caused by Leopold and his son.
He had listened to their lies before and insisted on going against the Ming Empire. This was a decision that he regretted greatly.
Regardless of whether Albrecht's words were true or not, for Zhu Cixiang, everything was over. Even the Holy Roman Empire no longer existed, and Albrecht's request for the restoration of the Duchy of Bavaria would not be met.
He had two choices, either to team up with Leopold and Alexander to go to East Africa, or to settle on a small island in the Mediterranean, or to go to Siberia to grow potatoes.
For Albrecht, choosing the third one was equivalent to being imprisoned again, nothing more than changing places.
He couldn't accept Osman's supervision, so he had no choice but to go to East Africa and have a big adventure.
The Dutch Parliament had agreed to exchange the newly acquired Britain and Dutch East Africa for part of the Ming Empire.
Because the Ming Emperor's offer was too high and had always been in good standing, the parliament could not refuse.
However, there is a small additional condition, that is, the Ming Empire will transfer a ninth-level battleship and one hundred aircraft to the Ming Empire for free.
"Flamingo" fighter planes, one hundred
"Black Hawk" armed helicopters, one hundred
"Condor" utility helicopter, one hundred Type IX heavy tanks and corresponding production technology. It is equivalent to directly equaling the conditions that a certain emperor gave Louis XIV for sending troops. Even so, it was still within the scope of a certain emperor.
Zhu Cixiang believes that problems that can be solved by money and weapons are not problems. If it can't be solved, then it means that what you have given is not enough!
As long as the other party makes an offer, everything is fine. If the other party is not greedy, it will cause a lot of trouble for him.
For example, if a certain father and son were not so willful at the beginning, they would not be in prison now. Considering Albrecht's tragic experience, Zhu Cihong kindly decided to use Sichuan as compensation. This guy could take hundreds of thousands of Zimin to settle there.
Zhu Cixiang couldn't care whether he would die from the heat. In the case of air conditioning, it will be blown into Alzheimer's disease at most... You can enter Sichuan by taking the Yangtze River Waterway, or you can take the Northern Line Railway and reach your destination via Shaanxi.
It would be better if they could move instantly, saving time and effort! Due to the decision of the Dutch Parliament, France's strategic posture became more passive.
Facing the Ottoman Empire in the southeast, the due east, northeast, and due north have all fallen into the hands of the Ming Empire.
Although there is no need to be careful behind the scenes, the Ming Empire's fleet is the strongest in the world. Once the two sides start a war, the Ming army can land at Calais at any time under the cover of the fleet and march straight to Paris... Although the strength of the French fleet cannot be underestimated, it is only for those chasing behind it.
In front of the Ming Empire Navy's aircraft carrier battle group, the battleship formations were basically giant targets. Waiting to see the Ming Dynasty carrier-based aircraft unit in Denmark
After the "wonderful performance", Tourville believed that it would only take an hour or two for his country's fleet to be wiped out.
It would not even happen if the British Navy faced off against the Armada, because the French Navy did not have the strength to deal with the Ming Empire Navy.
Calculated based on the standard that the combat effectiveness of a destroyer is ten, that of a cruiser is fifty, and that of a battleship is two hundred.
The total combat effectiveness of the French Navy is less than 3,000, while the combat effectiveness of the Ming Empire Navy's fleet arriving in Europe alone is as high as more than 10,000.
If all are taken into account, the strength of the Ming Empire's navy is almost seven times that of the French navy. This is still a conservative estimate.
After Louis XIV read the evaluation report submitted by Tourville, it was impossible not to get angry.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. It is a pipe dream to significantly increase the combat effectiveness of the country's navy in a short period of time.
The more pragmatic choice is to maintain the current world ranking, and the province is overtaken by the Inca Navy.
Of course Louis XIV was unwilling to accept the result of being overtaken by the Inca Empire, but judging from the opponent's development momentum, perhaps this result was inevitable.
Without exchanging land with the Ming Empire, France would sooner or later fall to the third or fourth position in the island world. In other words, it might be surpassed by the Ottomans in the future.
This is the problem that the mainland area is too small. The area of the Ottoman mainland is more than three times that of the French mainland, not to mention the Inca Empire. It is just a big piece, not so many fragments.
Faced with the natural advantages of potential competitors, Louis XIV was naturally helpless. Fortunately, his old friend gave him a God-given opportunity... This opportunity was tantamount to a big adventure. With good luck, France could remain second in the world forever.
On the contrary, the consequences will be disastrous, and everything depends on the sincerity of cooperation between both parties. For Louis XIV himself, he was not afraid even if he was cheated.
At worst, it would be ridiculous to condescend to go to West Africa and become a rich man. In order to prove his sincerity, Zhu Cixi also proposed a relatively safe method.
That is, the two sides gradually exchanged land, and the French side took over from prefecture to prefecture, and the same was true for the Ming side. After considering it, Louis XIV basically approved this method, which at least gave his own personnel time to inspect and accept the site.
The Munich Conference ended with the "Munich Agreement" signed by all parties. The surrender of Leopold and his son became a minor matter for the sake of formality, and the top priority became the exchange of places between the Ming Dynasty, France, the Netherlands and Prussia.
Duke Braunschweig-Lunenburg of the Duchy of Hanover and Duke Friedrich Wilhelm of the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and his uncle Duke Adolf Friedrich II heard about this.
They also hope to join it. After all, they are not fools. They realize that a behemoth has arrived in Europe. If they don't move in the future, they will all live in each other's shadow.
Even Louis XIV decided to get in his car and run away, and small characters like them were even more afraid of being killed by the Ming Emperor when he was unhappy.
If everyone went to the Ming Empire for a big adventure together, they might be able to take care of each other. At least the large number of people would prevent the Ming Empire Emperor from easily deceiving everyone... However, for Zhu Cixiang, the success or failure of the fraud never depends on it. In terms of number of people!
Besides, it wasn't a fraud this time. I really didn't plan to stay in my hometown anymore. Perhaps in the short term, both the court and myself will lose a lot of money due to the move, but in the long run, it is still very cost-effective to control the entire Atlantic Ocean, plus half of the Pacific Ocean and half of the Indian Ocean, and deal with those disobedient guys. things.
From now on, the Eiffel Tower? Mine! Tower Bridge? Mine! Brandenburg Gate? It’s still mine!
Although the Iron Tower has not yet been erected...the Colosseum does exist, but that place is not Louis XIV's territory.
One problem that followed was that the status of the new capital city in Omsk was suddenly reduced a lot.
The climate in Western Europe is so wonderful, especially the Iberian Peninsula, which is really a great place for vacation. Of course, in order to control the European continent, Zhu Cixiang decided to establish the new capital in Minsk. After all, it is the only city that begins with the word "minsk", which is more meaningful.
Besides, being too close to the Swiss or Ottoman border areas is not good for the security of the country's capital. Another good thing about Minsk is that there aren’t so many dead people nearby!
As we all know, Paris is a city built on graves, and beneath the city is a necropolis of piles of skeletons.
How else can we say that Paris is an undefended city? If it is fortified, the final result will be that the city is full of dead people on the ground and underground... In places like Madrid, Berlin, Warsaw, etc., the situation is basically similar to Paris.
Another point is that the summer temperature in Minsk is below 25 degrees and the winter temperature is above minus 10 degrees. It can be said that it is very suitable for the life of the Ming Dynasty royal family who are accustomed to the climate of the northern capital.
Especially for a certain fat house prince who likes to go to the cold north to escape the summer heat, this is a very good place.
Minsk was originally just a small city. After becoming the forward base of the Ming Dynasty's army, the local economy developed rapidly.
Blond beauties can be seen everywhere on the street, and many of them have become wives and concubines of military officers. For the officers and soldiers of the King's Division, being tall and with exquisite facial features are the prerequisites for Yangma to live a life of food and clothing.
The small local population means that there are relatively few cemeteries, and most places are suitable for the construction of various building facilities.
There are also forests, lakes, and swamps nearby, suitable for hunting, fishing, and outings. Zhu Cixiang believes that when the news of Minsk as the capital reaches the local area, the locals will be so happy that they will dance for joy.
The reason is simple. This means that house prices have skyrocketed, and those with a lot of land can take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.
Minsk is the forward base for the Western Expedition, and many guys with spare money have purchased real estate and land there.
Zhu Cixiang's move is also a disguised reward for everyone. If you were not willing to buy a house or land in the first place, it would be a loss.
Of course, there are also rewards in the true sense. This time the Holy Roman Empire is really destroyed, and real money and silver must be used to reward meritorious officials. From marshals to soldiers, everyone can receive silver rewards.
Some pickle officers and soldiers who turned around and ran away were not among them. Not only would they not be rewarded, but those who escaped from the battlefield might also be prosecuted by military law.
Withdrawing from an extremely important airport without receiving orders from above set a very bad negative example for all coalition forces.
In order to serve as a warning to others, Zhu Cixiang could not be merciful. But he also had to give Cha Zaizhen face and let him deal with these cowards by himself.
