England, Bulls Ferry, Blenheim Palace.
This is the old home of John Churchill, Wu Sangui, the British man who led Dutch troops into London. Although this "Qiu Sangui" was a seller seeking glory, he was despised by others. But he was very handsome, spoke well, and was good at fighting, so he was deeply favored by the two British queens, Queen Mary and Queen Anne. Later, not only did he become the Duke of Marlborough, Queen Anne also used treasury funds to help John Churchill built this Blenheim Palace - this holy favor is much more than what Wu Sangui received from Emperor Kang Mazi in another timeline.
I don’t know if it was because of the ancestral craftsmanship of the “seller”, but the current Duke of Marlborough, George Spencer Churchill, was very active in wanting to “sell” it after he got the opportunity to be Princess Victoria’s Chinese teacher. His good student, now the Crown Prince of the United Kingdom and the Indian Empire, and the future Queen of England and the Empress of India.
The "buyer" is of course the King of Lu, Zhu Xi, of the Ming Dynasty!
This business was going very smoothly before Emperor William came back from India. Zhu Xiu was a prince of the Ming Dynasty who was very good at flirting with girls, and Victoria was a princess who had no resistance to handsome boys. She was not reserved at all. She likes all handsome guys!
Therefore, the progress of the two people was very fast. Even if the war between Britain and Ming Dynasty was in full swing, Zhu Xi'an and Victoria's flowers were not affected at all.
Of course, the relationship between Zhu Xiu and Victoria can develop steadily. Just liking each other is not enough. On the surface, this matter is just a matter between the princess and the prince, but underneath it is a bunch of rough things. The man and the bad old man are making a deal. The princesses and princes are just chess pieces and chips in their hands. They are not romantic at all. At most, they are a bit "romantic".
Blenheim Palace in Bulls Crossing is relatively secluded because of its location. There are large woods and lakes around it to hide from the public, and the interior is both decent and luxurious, with many rooms. It is definitely the best place for boys and girls to have trysts and for big men to plot.
Now the person specifically responsible for discussing the marriage transaction between the "princess and the prince" with George Spencer Churchill is Zhuge Weidao's eldest brother Zhuge Weixue - he is Zhuge Weijiu's confidant and is now elderly. Zhuge had lived in Naples for a long time. In addition to accompanying the old French queen who was subjugated once again, every day he was busy torturing the European people. Invasion is also genocide. After it is done, it will be packaged as the White Lotus of the Virgin Mary, and it will be exported in various ways, including the villains and saints. If this person doesn't torment them hard, they will torment others!
Therefore, the European policy of the Ming Dynasty under the leadership of the Zhuge family has always been to find ways to torment and mess up Europe!
Zhuge Weijiu's current torment in Europe is mainly in two aspects. One is to find ways to organize a new anti-French alliance - on the one hand, he wants to help the Bourbon dynasty once again take the throne of France; on the other hand, he wants to establish a new alliance on the European continent. Another war was provoked. However, this did not go smoothly because there were also problems within the German and Austrian empires.
Germany wanted to be unified, and the Austrian Empire wanted to be divided. These two things are actually the same thing, because a completely unified Germany originally includes Austria!
And when Austria went to join other German states to establish a unified German nation-state, the Austrian Empire of the Habsburg family naturally fell apart.
People who are familiar with the international politics on the European continent know that a completely unified Germany is something that all European powers except the major German states do not like to see.
Because in their view, a completely unified Germany will inevitably lead to the gradual unification of the European continent.
So before the troubles between Germany and Austria are resolved, there will always be a basis of friendship between Nicholas I and Napoleon II. What if the Germans are really unified? At that time, Rakshasa and France will have to join forces to fight Germany!
What's Bourbon, what's Bonaparte, none of it matters anymore.
Another direction of Zhuge Weijiu's efforts was to turn the British Empire into the Ming Dynasty's general agent in Europe.
The past line of the Zhuge family was to support the Bourbon and Romanov dynasties and contain the British Empire.
But after the restoration of Napoleon II, the military advisers of the Zhuge family felt that the Bourbon dynasty was too weak to hold up the wall... and the Romanov dynasty was too powerful, and accidentally overstretched itself, allowing the tsar to unify Europe. , Daming’s head is really big.
So when Zhu Xiu and Victoria saw eye to eye. After defeating the British Empire, it became the consensus of Zhuge's military advisers to then accept them as dogs and let the British Empire torment Europe.
But to what extent was the British Empire itself to be weakened? This is quite a nerve-wracking thing!
Zhuge Weidao's elder brother, Zhuge Weixue, is now responsible for bargaining with the establishment within the British Empire.
After the results of the Pacific War came out. Zhuge Weixue, who was originally an ambassador to the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, immediately took a train across France and crossed the Sea of Calais to England. Finally, we stayed directly at Blenheim Palace!
Today, he met and held talks with Viscount Palmerston, the British Minister of Admiralty, and Robert Peel, the Foreign Secretary in this large house left by the "Great British Pingxi King".
In the library of Blenheim Palace, Zhuge Weixue, Viscount Palmerston, Robert Peel and George Spencer Churchill sat down separately and began a secret meeting.
"Viscount, Your Excellency, the Duke," Zhuge Weixue said with a victor's attitude as soon as he came up, "In view of the current situation, we believe that the southern continent and its surrounding islands must be completely liberated!
The Indian Empire must be disintegrated into 20 to 30 small states... The future Queen of England can still own two or three of these quite wealthy Indian states.
For example, the areas around Mumbai and Bengal can still be used as the territory of the Queen of India...but the rest of India must be completely separated from British colonial rule! And with the help of Ming Dynasty, it became a truly independent country.
In addition, the United States of America must also completely abandon its aggression against Texas and the Republic of Florida...and recognize that Texas belongs to the Mexican Empire, while Florida has the right to secede from the Union! "
Then, Zhuge Wenxue paused, and finally showed an expression of indignation, and said: "Moreover, the United States must also stop the extermination of Indians and the enslavement of black people...
In order to protect the survival rights of Indians and to compensate black people for the slavery they suffered. Land in the American West should be used to establish an independent and free Indian nation.
At the same time, slavery in the United States must be completely abolished. All black slaves should be assigned land and become small farmers with the rights of American citizenship.
The above are the peace conditions of our Ming Dynasty. What do you think? "
After listening to Zhuge Weixue's words, the three British guys present all had an incredible feeling - where did the United States offend the Ming Dynasty? Why did the Ming Dynasty punish the United States more harshly than the British?
