Louis de Saint-Just was an important leader of the Jacobins in the French Revolution.
He is also the most trusted comrade of Maximilian Robespierre, the leader of the current French Republic.
Nicknamed "Archangel".
The reason is that although this guy is not tall, he looks pretty and likes to put on makeup.
Big red lips, black stockings.
All the popular elements of Parisian men or women seem to be seen in him.
Grand Duke Lin didn't dare to look at Louis' pretty face. He was worried that he would make a mistake, so he took two steps back.
He knew that after capturing Louis XVI, the French revolutionaries would soon face interference and invasion from other European royal powers.
If the Anti-Ming Dynasty Alliance was led by Great Britain and Spain, several other countries only focused on participating.
Then the Anti-French Alliance is a major alliance that almost all monarchs in Europe will strongly support.
Establishing a republic in Europe at this time is simply poking a hornet's nest.
The French Republic was in danger, and the French revolutionary cause was in danger of being strangled in the cradle by foreign feudal lords.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty, an emerging Chinese regime that was hostile to Britain and some European countries and seemed to be in the same situation as France, was the source from which the French Republic could seek assistance.
"Mr. Ambassador, I think there is no need for Ming Dynasty to reject France's friendship. An alliance with France will give Ming Dynasty the opportunity to project power and influence to Europe. As far as I know, Ming Dynasty's textile industry has greatly impacted the cotton industry in England. Textile industry. And Ming Dynasty’s menacing steel exports are also impacting steel plants in the Rhine region.”
Archangel Louis said.
"And out of colonial interests, Spain and the Netherlands will also be wary of the Ming Dynasty's power in Southeast Asia, so... the Ming Dynasty and France have common interests."
"If our two countries join, it will be enough to shake up the situation in the entire world. With Ming's joining, the United States in North America will probably also be willing to join our alliance."
"Wait a minute, as far as I know, the United States is pursuing a policy of diplomatic isolation, and they have no intention of getting involved in the affairs of Eurasia." Grand Duke Lin said.
He actually said it tactfully.
Because the United States is very weak now.
Without French support, they would likely have been wiped out by the British Canadian colonies.
Who dares to imagine.
U.S. imperialism was so powerful in later generations.
In this era, we are actually facing threats from Canada...
"Isolated and forced to isolate, how could the British be willing to lose such a large colony? More than 80% of the United States' foreign trade comes from the United Kingdom, and 90% of their imports come from the United Kingdom. Such a large economic dependence makes the economy of the newly independent United States very difficult. ."
"In addition, the British did not withdraw their troops from the seven military bases on the border of the United States and Canada in accordance with the 1783 contract. The Great Lakes area and the Ohio River Basin are still under the control of the British. At the same time, the British are now seeking to negotiate with the Spanish because of their relationship with the Ming Dynasty. Establishing an alliance will make the United States, which already has border disputes with Spain, even more uneasy."
"If this new country is likely to receive assistance from a superpower, they may not adhere to the principles of isolation and neutrality!"
When Grand Duke Lin heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
It sounds reasonable.
Originally, the relationship between the Spaniards and the British was not very good, so the main pressure on the new country called the United States came from the north. Now that the Spaniards and the British in the south have formed an alliance because they want to jointly deal with the Ming Dynasty, then the United States may face being The danger of being attacked from both sides.
Maybe the Spanish and the British would discuss it, launch a north-south pincer attack, and directly carve up the thirteen states of the United States.
But the United States is too weak, so what’s the use of bringing it in?
Grand Duke Lin thought.
"In other words, if everything goes well, there will be a three-country axis of Ming, France, and the United States?"
Louis de Saint-Just said confidently.
He believed that the great emperor of tomorrow would probably not refuse the opportunity to establish closer relations with France and the United States.
Because this way.
The huge country of Ming Dynasty can reach out to Europe and America at the same time to exert its influence.
Maybe for Europeans.
The rise of the Ming Dynasty was a serious challenge. They had the power to overturn the world structure shaped by Europeans.
But if the French Republic is strangled in the cradle by those stubborn, backward, reactionary monarchies.
So what does the world structure shaped by Europeans have to do with the French people?
Grand Duke Lin still just nodded.
The Three Kingdoms Axis sounds very powerful.
But the alliance with France and the United States.
Grand Duke Lin does not have the authority to decide.
The decision-making power lies with the Guangzhou court and in the hands of King Ming.
"What about Russia? Their expansion in the east once led to a war with the Qing Empire. What will be their attitude towards France and the Ming Dynasty?"
Grand Duke Lin asked.
As far as he knows.
Many European powers began to send missions to the Eastern Ming Dynasty one after another.
Grand Duke Lin is probably aware of the demands and interests of other countries.
Only this Russia...
Where is the focus of his interests?
Is it Western Europe? Or the south bordering the Ottomans, or the west bordering the Qing Tatars? Or is it going to compete with Britain for hegemony in Central Asia?
This country is too big.
Where does his focus of interests lie? Maybe even Moscow is wavering.
"Russia..." Louis de Saint-Just pondered for a moment, "Maybe they are interested in Mongolia." Exit the transcoding page, please download the app to read the latest chapter.
Grand Duke Lin frowned slightly.
Russia may be Ming's short-term ally, but it is its long-term enemy. They are the only country that may border Ming on land in the future.
Since ancient times, enemies in the north have been a serious concern for the Central Plains dynasties.
A huge Russia lies in the north. After the Ming Dynasty wipes out the Manchus in the future, it will have to face the problem of a big European country bordering itself. At the same time, the core of their rule is very far away from itself, but their core area is very close to the other country. .
Does Ming need allies?
Is Ming Ming ready for the threat from Europe?
These questions lingered in Grand Duke Lin's mind.
Over the years, he has only received one-sided information from Ming Dynasty. He only knows that Ming Dynasty is progressing smoothly on the battlefield, but what is the specific situation.
He didn't know.
He suppressed the worries in his heart and scanned the thousands of miles of blue waves.
"Wealth comes from the sea, and danger... comes from the sea."
Grand Duke Lin murmured in a low voice.
.........
Chengde, Hebei Province.
Qianlong's Rehe Palace.
It is now the seventh month of the lunar calendar and the ninth month of the Christian calendar.
It's the hottest time of the year.
The scorching heat gave Qianlong, who suffered a huge defeat in the south more than two months ago, a respite.
According to the practice in previous years, Qianlong and his Beijing court would basically move to the Jehol Palace at this time to escape the scorching heat.
This year is no different.
It’s just that the bustling Jehol Palace in previous years seems to be a lot deserted this year.
The eunuchs serving in the palace were cautious when walking, lest they make any noise.
Because since Emperor Qianlong came back from the south, his temper has become much worse than before.
No one knows when this man will suddenly become angry.
The moody Qianlong was half-lying in the Qingliang Hall of the Rehe Palace.
The refrigerator in the hall is blowing out cold air, and the ice cubes in the refrigerator are stored in the winter.
Now it's time to drive away the summer heat.
An eunuch respectfully handed a paper roll to Qianlong. Qianlong sniffed and his whole body seemed to become energetic.
After squinting his eyes and enjoying it for a while, Qianlong sat up again from his half-lying lazy posture, and his complexion became much better.
Perhaps because of the stimulation of defeat, Qianlong, who was in relatively good health, was now in poor health.
On the one hand, he has to take garlic medicine smuggled from Nanming every day - because it is said that this medicine was once called life-extending water by Zhu Daohua. Since it can extend life, it is right to take more.
On the other hand, he also used "Wanyoujie" bought from some foreign missionaries.
It is said that it was also invented by Zhu Daohua.
I feel really happy after taking it, and all worries and worries are gone.
But even garlic medicine and Wanyou are enough.
Now Qianlong is also visibly old.
The hair on the beard and sideburns is almost completely white - yes, Emperor Qianlong has sideburns.
Although he also has braids, the barber would not dare to leave a money rat tail for Emperor Qianlong.
Therefore, compared with the patches of yin and yang heads in the Qing Dynasty today, the three masters of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong did not shave off all their heads, but left a lot of them. Otherwise, how could Yongzheng have detained the common Wang Yangming to death - they also knew what looked good in terms of emotions. What is ugly?
Except for the hair which is all white.
Qianlong, who was originally a bit thin, now looks even thinner, with almost only a piece of skin hanging on his frame.
"Huang Ama, Heshen and Fukangan are here."
Qianlong's fifteenth son Aixinjueluo Yongyan said respectfully from the side.
Since Qianlong's physical condition was deteriorating, it was time for him to consider his successor.
The ones who are likely to take over now are the fifteenth son Yongyan and the seventeenth son Yonglin.
If it is peacetime.
Qianlong would not be in a hurry to establish a throne.
Because the Qing Dynasty had a secret reserve system, and Qianlong also felt that he could live for a few more years. If he was still in power by then, he would outlast his grandfather Kangxi's reign.
Therefore, Qianlong had already planned to abdicate in the 60th year of Qianlong's reign and become the Supreme Emperor to coach the government.
Not only can he not exceed Kangxi's record of sixty-one years as emperor, gain a reputation for filial piety, but he can also safely support his successor to ascend to the throne and survive the dangerous period of the throne handover.
but now...
On the one hand, the Qing Dynasty was faced with attacks from both sides by those who rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and religious bandits. A bad move could lead to the overthrow of the country.
On the other hand, because he led the troops to fight in person, Qianlong felt that his health was not as good as before and he might be in danger of death at any time.
Therefore he must prepare in advance.
Between the two sons Yongyan and Yonglin.
He finally chose Yongyan.
Because Yongyan is older.
More calm.
And Yonglin was only in his early twenties, and he acted recklessly. Qianlong was not at ease if he entrusted the courage of the Qing Dynasty to such a young boy.
Therefore, the only fifteenth elder brother Yongyan who served Qianlong during this period was left, and Yonglin was granted the title of Prince Qing.
As a result, the ministers all saw clearly that the only one who could take over the courage of the Qing emperor was the fifteenth prince Yongyan.
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed. If you want to read the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more confused.
A single dormitory?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
The body and appearance have changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed by the bedside, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:? ? ?
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
