Versailles, Grand Trianon.
"Father, the British bullied me too much. They threatened me by supporting the restoration of Napoleon II and forced me to become enemies of the Ming Dynasty and the Rakshasa... But why should I be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty and the Rakshasa? ?I am not Napoleon. I became the king of France with the help of Ming Dynasty's loan and Rakshasa's bayonet. If I were an enemy of Ming Dynasty and Rakshasa, the soldiers below would not follow me at all, and the people would not support me. If you encounter a few setbacks, everything will be over!”
The man who was tearfully crying to his father Zhuge Weijiu about his misfortune was, of course, King Louis XVII of France.
He, a weak king with considerable innate deficiencies, cannot be compared with Louis XIV, who "I am the country", and Emperor Napoleon, who conquered Europe. At home, he could not carry out drastic reforms, because if he carried out reforms, he would offend people, and the offended people would stand against the Bourbon dynasty. The foundation of the Bourbon dynasty is unstable. If more people oppose it, it may collapse.
Therefore, all he can do in France is to preserve the legacy of the Napoleonic Empire in domestic affairs and justice as much as possible, and avoid the regression and turmoil of French society.
And outside the country, he could not use France's powerful military power at will. Because there are countless people waiting to see his jokes, and they will even take the initiative to hold him back. As long as he fails, the Bonapartists and republicans will have reason to attack him.
But he can't really lie down and do nothing... He is the king of France, a powerful country, and he has to take some big guys to grab some.
Therefore, he must be cautious in his external actions. To attack Algeria, he must first get rid of Ali Pasha. Even if he cannot recruit Ali Pasha to send troops together, he must ensure that he does not support the Algerian Tianfang Sect resistance.
As for following the British Empire to oppose the Ming and Rakshasa... The Bourbon dynasty was able to be restored last time only with the Ming's money and Rakshasa's soldiers. Now industrialization requires Rakshasa's supply of oil and agricultural products. How much 1782 Lafite did Louis XVII have to drink to do something stupid like this?
Of course, Louis XVII would not help Ming against Great Britain. Napoleon was defeated by waves of British anti-French alliances. How could he still be so brave?
Louis XVII now just wants to lie down quietly, without crying, making trouble, or fussing. If Great Britain is really going to end, then he will welcome Jewish capitalists from London to come to Paris to do business. If Great Britain does not finish its work, then in Europe, the big brother of Great Britain, the second brother of Rakshasa, and France will be satisfied with being one of the top three European powers together with Austria and Prussia.
Seeing the hopeless look of Louis XVII, Zhuge Weijiu was speechless and could only look at the black-haired Louis.
The Duke of Marseille sighed and smiled bitterly: "Father, British Foreign Secretary Robert Peel called Mr. Talleyrand this morning and said that Napoleon II wanted to move Emperor Napoleon's coffin back to Paris, France for burial. Once this news is If word spreads, His Majesty the King will be faced with a dilemma. If he agrees to move Napoleon's coffin back to Paris, then the influence of the Bonapartists will be greatly increased. If he opposes Napoleon's coffin being returned to Paris, then... .It will appear that our Bourbons are afraid of a dead man, which will also increase the influence of the Bonapartists."
When Zhuge Weijiu heard this, he felt quite embarrassed.
Because the current French Bourbon dynasty is not as influential in France as the dead Napoleon, so for the Bourbon dynasty, it is best for no one to mention that man and treat him as if he does not exist!
But the British just asked Napoleon II to come forward and take out Napoleon's coffin to talk about the matter...
Thinking of this, Zhuge Weijiu frowned and whispered: "This is what Napoleon II proposed... His father's coffin is returned to France, so does he want to return to France to be a dutiful son?"
"That's for sure!" The black-haired Louis nodded. "If we don't allow Napoleon II to return, it will appear that we are afraid of the child Napoleon II, and the arrogance of the Bonapartists will also become very arrogant. If we allow When he returns... he is afraid that the old and young of the Bonaparte dynasty will give him a purple robe!"
It’s really possible!
Zhuge Weijiu knew that almost everyone in the French Army today was a Bonapartist. They either lived with Napoleon, or they were admirers of Napoleon, or they mistakenly thought that Napoleon would protect the interests of civilians like them when he came back, or they thought that Napoleon would lead them out to rob!
In short, not many people in the French Army support the Bourbon dynasty. After all, the current Bourbon dynasty was established by Rakshasa people with bayonets... and Rakshasa bayonets seem to be a bit blunt recently!
Zhuge Weijiu frowned and said: "If Napoleon II returns to France, he will most likely take advantage of the dull bayonet of the Rakshasa Kingdom to carry out restoration! So now we cannot let him return to the country under any circumstances... But you It would be best to find a way to soften the mood of the Bonapartists, perhaps by marrying Princess Louise to Napoleon II and then supporting him to become the real King of Rome.”
The Princess Louise he was talking about was the daughter of Louis XVII and a princess of the French Bourbon dynasty. If Napoleon II married Princess Louise, it would mean a comprehensive reconciliation between the Bonaparte and Bourbon dynasties.
King of Rome is the title given to his son by Napoleon, but the city of Rome is not part of Napoleon's empire, but the territory of the Pope. However, the title Napoleon gave his son must have some deep meaning. Maybe he wanted his son to be the king of unified Italy.
It is precisely because the title of King of Rome and the Kingdom of Italy that Napoleon once established that unified half of Italy have made many associations among Italians, so there are also some Bonapartists in Italy.
In addition, Napoleon II was not beaten to the end. He still had two territories: Parma and Lechstadt. That Parma was Parma, Italy, which was rich in ham, and Lechstadt was in Bohemia. within the territory. Of course the latter does not make much sense, but this Duke of Parma gave Napoleon II another title to unify Italy.
Louis XVII now gave an army to the British, and he was in a bit of trouble both internally and externally, and he didn't care that Zhuge Weijiu's method would further strengthen the Bonapartist elements... If he could overcome the current hurdle, what would happen in the future talk later!
So he nodded: "Okay, let's do it... The Duke of Marseille and Talleyrand can use the opportunity to attend the peace conference in Vienna to meet Napoleon II secretly."
But the Duke of Marseille knew that Zhuge Weijiu's method might not work. He said to the old military advisor: "Father, the reason why our Bourbon dynasty can be restored is because of Ming Dynasty's money and Rakshasa's soldiers. And those Bonaparte The main reason why the elements dare not act recklessly is because they are afraid of the bayonets of the Rakshasa people. If the Rakshasa loses its deterrence, I am afraid..."
"Little Louis, don't worry." Zhuge Weijiu said with a smile, "Rakshasa's bayonet is not that easy to blunt...because Nicholas still has a trump card in his hand that he has not yet played."
"There is also a trump card?" The Duke of Marseille was stunned, "My father's trump card is..."
"It's Daoguang!" Zhuge Weijiu said, "His Jin Kingdom has been holding back in the interior of Central Asia for more than a hundred years, and he just wants to find an outlet to the sea. He never had a chance before, but now he finally has a chance, so he will definitely not let it go. Passed."
"Yafu, do you mean that he will march into India?" asked the French king.
"No, not India," Zhuge Weijiu shook his head, "He doesn't have that strength yet... but Persia is already a piece of fat on his lips! Before, Persia could rely on the help of the British to resist the Jin Kingdom . But now that the gate of the Persian Gulf has been closed by the Ming Dynasty, Daoguang's army can march into Persia without any hindrance. Once Persia is controlled by Daoguang, Ali Pasha will definitely lose his composure, and he will march towards Damascus and Baghdad. . In this way, the Turks’ backyard will be in chaos, and Nicholas I will have the opportunity to attack Constantinople. And the opportunity for France to advance Algeria will also come!”
