Seeing the boats of strange-looking people getting closer and closer, people on the Seine pier soon began to talk and come.
"God, who are they? Why don't they look like Christians?"
"What does it mean to not be Christian? Some of them simply don't look like human beings..."
"Oh, God, are those turbaned people all Tianfang believers? Why are they here in Versailles?"
"Not all...it seems like some are Hindus! I have seen people dressed the same way in the Mongolian Embassy."
"And the Sikhs, they all wear big turbans..."
"Look, there are still some people who look like the devil in the picture? Are they followers of the devil?"
"God, those people are followers of the devil... How did they come to Versailles?"
Yes, why did the devil's believers come to the "Three Continents Demon-Conquering Conference"? Is this a game and a fight?
A group of big shots in European countries who were extremely loyal to God turned their attention to Louis XIV. The Frankish Emperor was now sitting in a high-backed armchair inlaid with carvings and gold, and sitting next to him was the Pope in white clothes and a white hat. Beside them, like stars and the moon, stood a group of European kings, grand dukes, bishops, and other great nobles. Oh, there is also a Mongolian ambassador to Versailles, Prince Zhijun, who is also standing next to Louis XIV.
All I could see was that the Mongolian prince was wearing a flowered feather on his head, complete with robes and coats, and a pig-tail-like braid on the back of his head. In today's Versailles, no one thinks Yinti's bald head and pig-tail braid are ugly. On the contrary, many people think his hairstyle is very cool, manly and noble!
There are also many European ladies and aristocratic ladies who take the initiative to approach this "noble Mongolian prince", and many of them are so close that they go to bed... That is the Mongolian prince with the second largest GDP in the world, and his father It's the wealthy local man Mazi Kang. It's said that he sponsored Pope Urban IX's election bribes!
Moreover, this Mongolian prince is famous for his generosity, which can be described as spending money like water. Most of the aristocratic ladies who were abandoned by him would put in good words for him - the breakup fee was too much!
Of course, Prince Yinti is not afraid of people saying bad things about him. Because half of the sugar orders in Europe are in his hands!
Moreover, the rocket launchers and rockets produced in Mongolia have a long range, high accuracy, high power, and high reliability. The armies of various European countries want to buy them. The orders have been scheduled for several years. Who wants to get the goods as soon as possible? You have to take the path of Yinti...
In addition, with the introduction of Urban IX, Yinti became a major patron of the Medici Bank... He was still the kind of major patron that the Medici family tried their best to fawn over! Now the trade volume between Mongolia and Europe is very large, and Mongolia has accumulated a large surplus. Unlike the Ming Dynasty, which always shipped back real gold and silver, Mongolia likes to store the surplus earned in Europe, and Yinti is also responsible for this part of the overseas deposits. He divided the money into two parts, deposited one part in the Medici Bank, and used the other part to purchase bonds of various European countries through the Medici Bank.
Therefore, except for Louis the Great, Urban IX, James II, and William III, who were not short of money, the monarchs of other European countries had to think carefully before provoking Yinti, and do not look back. Financial sanctions have been imposed and it will be miserable if you can’t borrow money!
Yinti understands Latin and has also learned French. Of course, he can understand the words of those European big shots who are proud to speak French, so he is looking at the big guys with glaring eyes!
After being glared at by him, the guy who was talking about devils just now immediately became honest... Even if he is a devil, he is not something they can mess with!
Just when no one dared to say anything more, the band suddenly played a welcome song. It turned out that the small sailboat on which the "devils" were riding finally docked at the pier of the Seine River.
The first ship to dock was the ship on which Queen Sofia was riding. She saw her huge body standing on the deck, with her arms folded, eyes wide open, and a fierce look on her face. She was surrounded by a group of well-polished wealthy people. Cossack warriors with golden plate armor (gold-plated) - Plate armor was not a rare thing in Europe in this era, but gold-plated plate armor was. They all look like the Golden Saints, surrounded by a "demon version of Athena", not to mention how shocking it is.
Facing countless envious, jealous and hateful eyes, Sofia, the "devil version of Athena", felt so happy!
Once upon a time, she was an existence that the monarchs of all European countries looked down upon... The diplomats of the Rakshasa Kingdom had no idea how much effort they had to find, but they could not find an heir to the throne or a monarch who was willing to marry her. At the beginning, she had some requirements. She had to marry a monarch from a big European country, right? Later, the Grand Duke made do with it, and then the price was reduced to the monarch or heir of a small German country - in Germany, the monarchs were everywhere and the nobles were as numerous as dogs!
But this doesn’t work either!
The majestic eldest princess of the Rakshasa Kingdom has turned into an old girl who cannot get married. I am really angry!
Well now, Queen Sofia has become an existence that can be equal to Emperor Louis the Great and Urban IX!
Sure enough, Emperor Louis the Great and Urban IX stood up from their chairs, and together with Peter I and Prince Yinti of Mongolia, they went forward to greet the "devil version of Athena" who swaggered down from the ship.
Seeing Louis the Great approaching, "Devil Athena" stopped on the dock, and then stretched out his big furry hand. King Louis the Great didn't mind the hairiness either, so he immediately took over the big hand and gave a kiss on the hand...
"Your Majesty the Emperor," Princess Sofia looked at the little Louis who was a head shorter than herself in high heels and said with a smile, "It's an honor to see you by the Seine River!"
Emperor Louis the Great smiled and replied: "Your Royal Highness, your arrival is an honor for the entire France - the Frankish Empire, and the entire civilized world will benefit from it!"
"Really?" Princess Sofia asked with a smile, "The Great Mongolia-Indian Empire now also belongs to the civilized world?"
"Of course!" The Roman Pope on the side immediately took over the question, "No matter in every aspect, the Great Mongolia-Indian Empire is a member of the civilized world and the Western world!"
Sofia laughed: "It is such an honor to be recognized by His Majesty the Pope, the Great Mongolia-Indian Empire... Then since the Great Mongolia-Indian Empire belongs to the Western civilized world, then the Rakshasa Kingdom It should also belong to the West, right?”
Louis the Great smiled and replied: "Pyotr Alexeevich is one of us... There is no doubt about it!"
The Pope also echoed: "Your Royal Highness, Brother Peter has always been one of us!"
These two people are actually secretly exchanging concepts!
They only recognized Peter I as one of them, but never recognized the Rakshasa Kingdom as a member of the West!
They can even recognize the Great Mongolia-Indian Empire, but are unwilling to recognize Rakshasa! Because the Great Mongol-Indian Empire was not a member of Europe geographically, and it was far away from the Atlantic Ocean. No matter how much they admit it, it won't change that fact.
The Rakshasa country is really a European country. More than 40% of the land in Europe belongs to Rakshasa, and Rakshasa is relatively close to the Atlantic Ocean.
Of course Sofia understood the difference between acknowledging Peter and acknowledging Rakshasa, she just smiled coldly and said: "Okay... I look forward to hearing something at the Versailles Conference that is beneficial to the progress and prosperity of our civilized world. plan!"
Emperor Louis smiled: "There will be a satisfactory solution."
The Pope smiled and nodded: "Your Highness the Queen, we have indeed put forward some very good plans... which will definitely help us defeat the devil in the east! Now we are waiting for the Great Mongolia-Indian Empire to join us! "
Sofia's face darkened: "Devil? Who is the devil?"
The Pope's expression is also a little ugly... Isn't it obvious who the devil is? Would you, Queen Sofia, know?
Seeing that the scene was a bit embarrassing, Prince Yinti immediately smiled and smoothed things over and said: "Niang, Emperor, Pope, who is the devil and who is the believer of the devil? Let's discuss it carefully. We are all tired from the journey today, so let's go first Settle down. Mother, Emperor Louis has ordered the Trianon to be sorted out, so please stay there."
The Trianon is a palace built by Louis XIV for his mistress Madame Maintenon. It is right next to the Palace of Versailles. Although it is not as luxurious as the Palace of Versailles, it is much better than the Great Mongol Embassy, and it is also more spacious. Just the thing to entertain the "demon version of Athena" and her horde of weird followers.
...
Versailles, Trianon drawing room.
"Eniang, what the Emperor and the Pope meant was to stabilize first and then counterattack, first Europe and America, then East Asia. The so-called stabilization first means to first curb the momentum of Ming Dynasty's expansion and establish an 'Atlantic-India Demon-free Zone' ..."
The person who is introducing the progress of the Versailles Conference to the "Devil Athena" is Yinti. This prince of Zhijun has participated in the discussions of the Versailles Conference in the past few months, but after all, he is not the monarch of the Great Mongolia-Indian Empire. , and it is impossible to truly fully represent Kangxi Khan, so the right to speak is not important.
"What is the Atlantic Ocean - India's magic-free zone?" Sofia immediately sensed something was wrong.
"Oh, we just want to eliminate Ming's influence in the Atlantic Ocean and India... It's best not to even import Ming's goods, and completely cut off all contacts with Ming."
Sofia snorted: "The Ming Dynasty still controls the Hindustan Empire! How to rule it out? Start a war? Moreover, the Dutch, English, Portuguese, and the Rakshasa Kingdom are all doing business with the Ming Dynasty. If they want to cut off contact, it will take a year. How much is the loss? It’s not a pain for Louis and Urban to stand and talk! By the way, both the Dutch and the English support this Atlantic-India magic-free zone?”
Peter I nodded: "Yes, they all support it, so..."
"How is that possible!" Sofia's eyes widened, "The profiteers don't even want money anymore?"
Peter I said: "Both James II and William III expressed their stance, saying that for the sake of their faith in God, they could give up their current luxurious life and become a simple and noble Christian."
"This is impossible!" Sofia shook her head repeatedly, "How can the English and Dutch be simple and noble? They must have a conspiracy!"
Yinti said: "Mother, you are right...there must be a conspiracy here! But in terms of face, no one dares to go against Emperor Louis the Great now. Even the Spanish Empire firmly supports Louis. So we I can only..."
Sofia glared at Yinti: "We are really bordering the Ming Dynasty! So we must deal with the Ming Dynasty issue carefully. If we are not careful, it may trigger a war that we cannot bear! And... ..In the eyes of Louis and Urban IX, we are also devils!”
"Are we devils too?"
"Sister, you said they also want..."
Sofia did not answer Yinti's words, but looked at the young Peter I and asked: "Peter, what did Louis promise?"
"Lands along the Black Sea and Constantinople!" Peter I said excitedly, "That's what a powerful Rakshasa needs!"
Compared with historical Petersburg, the value of Constantinople is much higher!
When Constantinople became the center of European civilization, Petersburg was still a deserted swamp.
Moreover, the Baltic Sea near Petersburg freezes in winter, so it is not a freeze-free port.
In addition, there were no great powers near Constantinople—not counting the Ottoman Empire, of course. Because if the Ottoman Empire cannot be defeated, there will be no Constantinople, and with Constantinople, there will be no Ottoman Empire.
Therefore, the Rakshasa who gets Constantinople can immediately become the master of Western Asia and the Balkans! And the Rakshasa who got to the mouth of the Neva River had to face layers of blockades from Sweden, Poland, and Prussia... It was really difficult to go from the Baltic Sea to the world.
Moreover, going south to Constantinople can also capture the black land of southern Russia and Ukraine, as well as the rich and warm Balkans and Asia Minor... If Peter is allowed to leave Constantinople and the Neva River, Given a multiple-choice question between Haikou, he would undoubtedly choose Constantinople!
But Constantinople is a piece of cake that cannot be obtained! Louis XIV was just using Constantinople to coax Peter I into working for him in vain.
"No, you shouldn't want Constantinople!" Sofia immediately shook her head and said, "Peter, you should want the small piece of land that belongs to Sweden at the entrance of the Neva River... We need to build a thoroughfare there. To the seaports of Europe.”
"The mouth of the Neva River?" Peter I frowned, "What's good there? It's just a desolate swamp with nothing, and it still belongs to Sweden."
Sofia shook her head and said: "Peter, don't you understand? Constantinople will not give it to us! But Louis has a way to get the land on the Neva River from the Swedes. King Sobieski of Poland Louis will soon be alive and will probably become the next King of Poland. At that time, as long as he supports the King of Sweden to become the Grand Duke of Lithuania, Sweden will be happy to hand over the land on the Neva River."
