Yingtianhuangcheng.
In the living room of Da Tianzi.
Now there are bursts of hearty laughter.
Louis de Saint-Just, the special envoy of the French Republic, is meeting Zhu Daohua here.
Accompanying him were Napoleon Bonaparte, Duke of Ming Dynasty, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ming Dynasty, and Grand Duke Dahao Houlin.
Louis de Saint-Just, nicknamed "The Archangel", is a very good-looking French man.
And he speaks nicely.
With deliberate flattery, it is easy to win the favor of many people.
Moreover, Zhu Daohua had contact with the French Jacobins when he was in Europe.
His Daohua Trading Company also funded the Jacobins. At that time, Zhu Daohua was living in Europe, and he was quite famous, so he had contacts with various forces, and Qi also maintained a relatively harmonious relationship.
"Mr. Louis, after we met in Paris, we didn't expect that we would be apart for four years. Now, most of your ideals have been realized. You have actually turned France into the first republic in Europe." Zhu Daohua sighed with emotion. road.
Sitting at the bottom, Louis de Saint-Just looked at Zhu Daohua, the world-famous oriental scientist, the greatest doctor of this century, and the great emperor of the Chinese Empire.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, in just three years you have successfully freed two-thirds of the Chinese people from the barbaric rule of the Tatars. Compared with your achievements in the East, our achievements are nothing to mention. ."
"But now there are outside forces trying to interfere with your efforts to expel the Manchus."
"You are talking about Britain, and maybe Tsarist Russia as well." Zhu Daohua said with a smile. "There is nothing to worry about. Don't say that the two countries have their own secrets. Even if they are really close, Ming will not have any fear."
What Zhu Daohua said was not a big lie.
But fact.
Although now in terms of territory, the colonies controlled by the British Empire do far exceed those of the Ming Dynasty.
But in this three-thirds of an acre of land in East Asia.
Don’t talk about Britain and Tsarist Russia.
Even if the whole of Europe united, it would not be enough to defeat the Ming Dynasty.
Louis de Saint-Just sighed in his heart.
Ming Dynasty has a great emperor.
Those countries that try to block the rise of the Ming Dynasty are as ridiculous as mantis trying to block the rise of the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, perhaps you need an ally in Europe." Louis de Saint-Just said.
Zhu Daohua smiled when he heard this and said: "The Ming Dynasty is not suitable for alliance because I don't want to get too deeply involved in European affairs."
Let alone this era.
Even in the 21st century with advanced technology.
It is very difficult to project military power across thousands of miles, and only a few countries can do it.
It is impossible for Europe to deliver a military presence that can threaten the Ming Dynasty.
same.
Ming Dynasty now does not have the ability to influence the European political situation on a deeper level.
Therefore, it makes no sense to form an alliance with any European country.
"However, I can provide military assistance to France. Whether France is a republic or a monarchy is an internal matter within France. I believe that the interference of other European countries is a gross aggression against France and violates justice!"
"So I can allow France to purchase weapons produced in the Ming Dynasty at preferential prices, including artillery, muskets, gunpowder, etc."
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor." Although Louis was a little disappointed at not being able to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, being able to receive assistance personally promised by the Ming Emperor himself was a timely help for France.
Failed to get the Ming Emperor's promise of alliance.
Although Louis de Saint-Just was a little disappointed, he did not express it.
Because for the French Republic, even if it cannot form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, it is very important to maintain a good friendship with the Ming Dynasty - not to mention that it can also obtain weapons from the Ming Dynasty. Louis de Saint-Just is already quite satisfied.
Finally, there is the issue of establishing diplomatic relations between the two sides. Zhu Daohua agrees with this in principle, and the specific operations will be left to diplomats from both sides.
After more than an hour of interview, the Ming Emperor had given the French Republic enough face.
After Louis de Saint-Just leaves.
Zhu Daohua stayed with Napoleon to have lunch with him.
Zhu Daohua usually has a very fixed meal time schedule every day.
Breakfast is very simple, just one egg, one cup of milk, a bowl of meat porridge, and some fruit.
If you don't go out, the Qinzheng Hall also has an imperial chef who prepares some Cantonese and Chaoshan cuisine that His Majesty the Emperor likes to eat. Sometimes he also tastes Hunan cuisine or Jianghuai cuisine.
Moreover, Zhu Daohua usually eats the lunch meal with a certain minister.
In the evening, Zhu Daohua would return to his residence and eat at the big round table with the queen, two concubines, princes and princesses.
During the banquet.
Zhu Daohua saw that Napoleon was a little worried, so he took the initiative to ask whether he wanted to return to France.
Napoleon was slightly stunned.
Honestly.
He, a European, was able to achieve the position of duke in the East.
It is already very difficult.
But he is French after all...or Corsican - Corsica was once ruled by Genoa, and some people in later generations also said that Napoleon was Italian, but to be honest, Italy has not yet been unified. Italy would appear almost seventy years later.
But neither French nor Corsican.
For Napoleon.
The only reason why he came to the East was Zhu Daohua's invitation.
He has no memory of this land, and all his ideals were pinned on European soil.
deep in the heart.
Napoleon's true need for self-actualization.
Maybe not in Daming.
"Maybe, I should go back..." Napoleon said hesitantly.
Zhu Daohua sighed.
In fact, Napoleon's return to France was of great benefit to the Ming Dynasty.
When Napoleon returned to France, it was certain that the European continent would be plunged into a war that would last at least twenty years.
European war.
This gave Daming a chance.
For example, immigrating to North America, seizing Australia, or extending power into Central Asia.
Twenty years.
a generation.
Ming Dynasty might be able to get half of the world!
If it weren't for Napoleon.
What if France just raised his hand?
This has to be guarded against.
If only France had raised his hand out of habit.
If the Ming Empire wants to extend its power into the Americas, it may have to face the full force of established colonial empires such as Britain and Spain.
Therefore, this must not happen, and Nahuang must be allowed to go back.
Zhu Daohua thought for a while and said: "Bonaparte, I understand your mood. You are the most powerful general in this century. You can help France defeat the invaders."
"I can send an observation group of about two thousand officers to help you transform the French Army into a Ming-style Army."
Napoleon was stunned for a moment.
Then he reacted.
His Majesty the Ming Emperor hopes that Europe will fall into war, so that his Ming Empire can safely reach out to America.
Napoleon knew very well what place his Majesty the Emperor coveted.
When he first entered Guangdong, he organized an expedition to explore the routes from Japan to North America and from Borneo to New Spain.
If France and European countries went to war, neither Spain nor Britain would be able to stop the Ming Empire's actions in America.
But this is also a good thing for France.
Because this means that the Ming Empire will definitely support France in fighting the war.
And if I, Duke Jia of the Ming Dynasty, were to command the French army, even if Mingfa did not form an alliance, it would be better than forming an alliance.
When he got here, Napoleon couldn't help but smile bitterly.
His Majesty the Emperor is waiting here.
Perhaps he had long wished he could return to France.
"Long live, are you going to let Duke Jia return to France like this?"
Wait for Napoleon to leave.
Grand Duke Lin said with some concern.
"This is natural. I am not Emperor Taizu Wu. I kill people at every turn."
Zhu Daohua waved his hands indifferently and said.
Nahuang is online.
With the experience of Ming Dynasty.
Could Napoleon really take over all of Europe?
Will China and France carve up the world in the future?
Zhu Daohua shook his head.
future...
The future is no longer clear.
How much impact could the rise of the Ming Empire have on the world.
Zhu Daohua himself couldn't predict it.
............
"British Sir, please come this way!"
After the British Gongsun Shiyi of the Ming Dynasty received a summons from His Majesty the Emperor.
He rushed back to Yingtian Mansion from Hangzhou in a hurry.
During this period, Sun Shiyi was soliciting investment everywhere in Liangjiang.
It's just not very effective.
If it weren't for him, His Majesty the Emperor would have invested 100,000 Ming Yuan in him.
I am afraid that many businessmen and gentry think that the Duke is here to commit fraud.
What is the return on investment in India’s land, ports, and markets?
Now that India is yours, do you dare to boast about Haikou?
Therefore, Sun Guogong's effect in attracting investment for his future Indian princes was not good.
But there is no way.
This is an expedition to India.
In addition to providing guns and cannons, the Ming court only promised to use naval escort.
Even the shipping fee to India had to be paid out of his own pocket. Fortunately, the Nanyang Shipping Corporation, of which Emperor Zhu was a major shareholder, agreed to his request to get credit first and then repay the debt. Otherwise, the shipping fee alone would have been a headache for Sun Guogong.
Now the Ming Dynasty organizes the settlement of Borneo and transports a boatload of people from Guangdong to Borneo, and one Ming yuan is invested in the travel expenses.
Sun Shiyi was going to India from the Strait of Malacca, and he was an unfamiliar India.
The shipping fee alone costs five or six yuan per person.
With an army of 70,000, they would have to hire tens of thousands of civilians to accompany the army. Consider hiring 30,000 civilians.
Just transporting people there would cost five to six hundred thousand.
All types of military supplies must also be prepared.
All these aspects require money.
So Mr. Sun was really exhausted mentally and physically during this period of time.
Back then, when he raised the military supplies needed for Fukang'an to quell the large Jinchuan army, he didn't put much effort into it.
As a British man, he really felt a bit at a disadvantage.
"The emperor is currently receiving envoys from various countries. He asked you to go directly to the living room to attend."
One of the attendants whispered.
Sun Shiyi nodded, and did not give red envelopes or anything like he did in the Qing Dynasty - the bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty had not learned these things yet.
The attendant opened the side door, and before Sun Shiyi could walk in, he heard the noise inside.
He walked in cautiously and saw the Secretary of the Ministry of War sitting next to him. Zhao Si, Duke of Song Dynasty, was resting with his eyes closed.
Except for Marshal Zhao.
Several senior cabinet officials of the Ming Dynasty also attended.
He walked gently to Marshal Zhao, pulled out a chair next to Marshal Zhao and sat down.
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.
Pet animal breeding base.
