Capital of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, Naples.
This is another unpleasant feudal remnant country run by the Bourbon dynasty!
Before the French Revolution of 1832, there were three countries ruled by the Bourbon dynasty, namely France, Spain and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.
Among them, the king of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies was a branch of the Spanish branch of the Bourbon dynasty, and was already somewhat alienated from the French Bourbons. But you can’t write two bourbons in one sentence, but they are still one family!
Therefore, Louis the Black-haired Duke of Marseille, who led his troops back to the country to put down the rebellion, knew that the situation was over after hearing the news of the establishment of the Second French Republic, so he led the Foreign Legion who were still loyal to him and some French naval ships to retreat to Naples.
A week after the Duke of Marseille arrived in Naples, Zhuge Weijiu, Zhuge Weixue, Xiaolu King Zhu Xiyan, and the French Queen Mother Marie Antoinette all arrived in Naples one after another.
"What should we do now? Will my great military advisers, the Ming Dynasty, the Rakshasa, the British Empire and the Austrian Empire organize the eighth anti-French alliance this time?"
The person who raised this question was the Queen Mother of France, Marie Antoinette. This was the second time she had successfully escaped from France... It was much easier than the last time. She didn't wait for anyone to catch her. Just in a blink of an eye, he came from the Palace of Versailles and ran away in makeup.
In fact, she was already ready to run away before anything happened in Paris. There is a "running team" hired from my hometown in Austria at a high price to be on call 24 hours a day!
When the old lady heard that the people of Paris were rioting again, she immediately summoned a "running team" to help her make up into an ordinary old woman, sneak out of Versailles in an ordinary carriage, and then go to Paris. An airship to the north of the city boarded an airship bound for England.
After staying in England for a few days, she took a warship of the Kingdom of Spain and arrived in Naples by sea, where she met her son Louis the Black Hair.
"There can be no eighth anti-French alliance!" Zhuge Weijiu sighed and said to Marie Antoinette, "The situation now is completely different from thirty years ago... The Ming Dynasty and Britain is already in a de facto state of war, and peace between the Ming Dynasty and Britain is not so easy to reach. Naturally, they will not join hands to oppose Napoleon II and the French Republic until the war between the Ming Dynasty and Britain is over.
As for Rakshasa, the relationship with Britain was tense because Britain had supported the Ottoman Empire in defending Adrianople. It was also impossible for Rakshasa to join hands with Britain to interfere in the French revolution.
And Austria is even more difficult to protect itself. It is already very difficult to prevent a republican revolution from breaking out in its own country. How can it still have the strength to fight against France?
In addition, I also suspect that Napoleon II’s escape was related to Britain and Austria! The French republicans and Bonapartists also received funding from the United Kingdom! "
"But why do they do this?" Marie Antoinel asked, "They are the enemies of Napoleon I!"
"Because we are too close to the Rakshasa and the Ming Dynasty!" Black-haired Louis said through gritted teeth, "Britain and Austria do not want to see the European continent being dominated by us and the Rakshasa Kingdom..."
"The British are so hateful!" Marie Antoinel said, "Are we just going to watch France fall into the hands of Bonapartists and Republicans?"
"This is only temporary!" Zhuge Weijiu sneered, "Although Napoleon II adopted some correct policies and temporarily stabilized the situation. But France's problems are definitely not something that a young boy like him can solve... .And my ancestor King Wu Zhong is not something he can imitate!"
In fact, the main problem facing France now is not the concentration of land, but the problem of industrialization encountering a small domestic market and a relative lack of resources. The French mainland was only so big, and it was incomparable to the Ming Dynasty in the hands of King Zhuge Wuzhong back then.
At that time, the population of the Ming Dynasty was only 50 to 60 million, but the cultivated land available for distribution reached more than 2 billion acres! There are also massive grasslands, mountains, forests, and lakes that can be utilized, as well as extremely rich mineral resources, and land in vassal states such as Annam, Siam, Chenla, and Myanmar that can be developed.
In addition, the Ming Dynasty also had four high-value export trade products with monopoly advantages: silk, tea, porcelain, and sugar, which could earn gold and silver.
Although France now has more than 200 million acres of arable land, which is enough to feed 30 million people, the capital, raw materials, and markets needed for industrialization are absolutely unavailable.
Originally, France under the rule of Louis XVII was able to absorb some Jewish capital because of its relatively stable society. And because of our close relationship with Rakshasa, we can obtain Rakshasa’s raw materials at low prices, and our products can easily enter the Rakshasa market—a large market with a population of 60 million! And because of the traditional friendship with Daming, we can also get some technology transfer from Daming.
These favorable conditions will disappear after Napoleon II comes to power!
Moreover, the French's expectation of Napoleon II was not to give them a "free republic" or to randomly allocate some land, but to take them to engage in zero-dollar purchases!
But does France have such strength now?
So the future of Napoleon II and the Second French Republic will not be wonderful!
Zhuge Weijiu made a calculation and said, "When Napoleon II can no longer survive, the Bourbon dynasty can still be restored!"
Hearing what Yafu said, the black-haired Louis gained some confidence, and then asked: "Yafu, what should we do now?"
"You can go to North Africa!" Zhuge Weijiu looked at the black-haired Louis and said, "Louis, you have conquered Algeria now, and you can also conquer Tunisia. In this way, you can establish an Algerian Kingdom or a Carthage Kingdom there. … You come to be king and attract French people who are opposed to the republic and the rule of the Napoleonic family to settle in North Africa.”
"Am I the king?" The black-haired Louis was stunned when he heard this. He had just lost his country, so how could he become the king in the blink of an eye? And Algeria is very poor...
As if he had read the thoughts of the black-haired Louis, Zhuge Weijiu glared and lectured: "Louis, don't dislike Algeria because it is a desolate country and a poor country... How can a rich and powerful country get your turn? Besides, Algeria is poor. The reason is that there is a lack of effective governance. If you can use psychological politics and run a good business, you can attract French immigrants while developing industries according to local conditions.
I am sure that in thirty or forty years, Algeria will definitely become rich! "
Zhuge Weijiu's affirmation is certainly not wrong.
Later, the black-haired Louis worked hard to govern the Kingdom of Carthage for thirty or forty years. When he was finally dying, a huge amount of oil was discovered in the desert of Carthage, and it suddenly became a rich country...
"Okay, I'll go to North Africa!" The black-haired Louis still believed in his sub-father, and nodded and made up his mind.
After arranging the future of the black-haired Louis, Zhuge Weijiu finally settled his worries. Then he glanced at Zhu Xiyan, who was a little depressed, and said: "His Royal Highness, King Lu, you should also go to North Africa with the Duke of Marseille! "
"Should I go to North Africa too?" When Zhu Xiu heard this, he shook his head and said, "Old Prince, this is not possible. I am still a student and I have to go to school!"
"Go to school?" Zhuge Weijiu smiled, "Go to school with a female classmate?"
King Lu Zhu Xi became anxious immediately, "Old prince, please don't talk nonsense!"
"Come on," Zhuge Weijiu snorted, "You listen to me...that's right!"
The old man smiled and said: "Prince Lu, the good things between you and Victoria are not over yet!
If you go to North Africa with Louis now, Louis will knight you and send you to England. This way you can meet Princess Victoria often.
I have already noticed that the little girl Victoria has been attracted by you. If you work harder, you might be able to take her down. By then you will be the royal wife of England. Isn’t this better than being an idle prince in the Ming Dynasty? "
