Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Urban IX nodded with a smile—so pious!The devout ones don't seem to be the children of Emperor Louis, no wonder Louis felt that she was not his own.

Thinking of this, Urban IX crossed himself on his chest and said with a smile, "My child, God has heard and granted your request."

"Papa..." Sophie stared at her big eyes, she was so excited that she burst into tears.

Urban IX said: "Son, our heavenly father has just agreed to your request and given you a chance to serve him."

"Woooo..." The big beauty cried with excitement.

Urban IX said again: "My child, are you willing to sacrifice everything to serve God?"

"I, I would like to..."

I don't want to and dare not say it!

Louis XIV also nodded, and said to Sophie: "Dear Sophie, I am going to announce that you are my legal child!"

what?

legalized?

When Sophie heard this, she quickly knelt down to Louis: "Thank you... my father."

Louis XIV smiled and said: "Also, before you leave France, I am going to confer you the title of Duchess of Texas!"

Duchess?

Although Sophie Magis doesn't know where Texas is?But the duchess is what she has dreamed of, and she has been asking God for a long time... Today it has come true!

Wait, what does Leaving France mean?Shouldn't you be going to a monastery in another place?

"Father, you just said that before I left France..." Sophie Magis hurriedly asked Louis XIV.

Louis XIV said: "God gave you an opportunity to serve you to the best of your worth... You will be sent to America to marry the king of the Shang Kingdom!"

The wish to marry the king also came true!

Sophie Magis couldn't believe her ears...all her wishes had come true!

This God is really effective!

Seeing Sophie Maggies in a daze, Urban IX thought she was unwilling, so he quickly added: "Son, although King Shangfang is the son of the devil, he is a very handsome Handsome king!"

Son of the devil... Devils are designed to seduce people, how can they seduce little girls if they are not handsome?So this devil's son must be handsome!

"The devil's son?" Sophie Maggies was taken aback, "How could it be the devil's son?"

Louis XIV explained: "Now there is sufficient evidence to prove that Emperor Ming is a devil, and King Shang Fang is the son of Emperor Ming, so he is the son of the devil... According to the armistice agreement reached between Emperor Leopold and Shang Fang, the There will be a beautiful princess to marry the king of Shang Fang. But Leopid's princess is not beautiful at all, so he sent people to Europe to find it. And this is your chance to die for the cause of God! Will you, Sophie ?"

Can't you do it if you don't want to?

Sophie Maggies thought to herself: "This is God's will! I have been begging for so many days and finally got it... If you don't want to, you will go to hell! And Louis XIV is irresponsible That's what your father meant too!"

Thinking of this, the big beauty straightened her bulging chest, then nodded heavily: "Yes! For God, I am willing to give everything!"

How pious!

Seeing Sophie Magis's big breasts, Louis XIV and Urban IX both crossed their chests—with such a big beauty to use beauty tricks, the king of Shangfang will definitely be fascinated poured.

Louis XIV said to Sophie again: "My daughter, prepare yourself. After a while, you will leave for Daming with the Archbishop de la Magala."

"Going to Daming? Isn't it going to America?" The big beauty asked without knowing why.

Louis XIV replied: "Negotiations are still going on now... Archbishop De La Magala will negotiate with the Emperor Ming to finalize your marriage with King Shangfang. If all goes well, you can directly arrive across the Pacific Ocean. The capital of Shang Fang. The Archbishop de la Magala and the Marquis of Mendoza will accompany you until you marry the king of Shang Fang."

Sophie Magis is a bargaining chip!Is it okay not to let people see it?Louis XIV himself suffered from this loss, when his wife from the Habsburg dynasty depicted her as a fairy, and her appearance on oil paintings was surprisingly beautiful.It was only when he saw the real person when he got married that he knew he had been cheated, and it was impossible to return the goods, so he had to bite the bullet... This incident made him have a psychological shadow, so that after the death of his original partner, he would not do it no matter what. Ken is marrying another "young and beautiful" European princess.

At this time, Louis felt a little sorry for this ignorant daughter, so he said again: "Dear Sophie, although King Shangfang is the son of the devil, he is a very rich king. The Ming Dynasty ruled by his father, It is still the richest empire in the world, brilliant and powerful, dominating the east... Those beautiful clothes you wear are all made of Daming silk, the porcelain you use is also from Daming, and your favorite perfume is also from Daming Yes. As for the lacquer box you used to store your jewelry, it was produced in Japan, the vassal state of Ming Dynasty. Oh, and many spices used for cooking are also produced in the vassal state of Ming Dynasty."

Understood!Sophie Maggies said heartily: "I am going to marry a handsome and super rich son of the devil...and he is a king! This is really exciting!"

Chapter 889 Can colonize, but not liberate

"Here comes Sophie Magistrates de Bourbon, Duchess of Texas!"

Following the roll call of the attendants, Sophie Maggies, who had just become the legal child of the Duchess of Texas and Louis the Great, appeared in the audience hall of the King's Suite at the Palace of Versailles in court attire.

The Frankish Emperor Louis looked at this beautiful and moving lady, nodded in satisfaction, then turned his head to the stunned Cardinal de la Magala of Mexico City and the French Foreign Minister Leonard and said: "His Majesty has already asked God Now, God let His faithful follower, Sophie Marquis, marry the King of Shang Fang as the princess of the Spanish Empire, what do you think?"

Pope Urban IX was also there, nodded and said: "Yes, this is God's will. I asked God for instructions beside the cross-shaped water channel in the Palace of Versailles."

Sophie Maggies also had an angelic face, and said in a very serious tone: "It is my greatest honor to be chosen by God, and I am ready to dedicate everything to the cause of God—to save the American Indians." Sacrifice to fallen souls!"

How noble!

Moreover, it is a "heavenly difference" appointed by God. What else can Cardinal de la Magala of Mexico City say?Can he question God, or order the emperor, or dare to order the Pope?

Compared with these three, De La Magala finally realized how small he was, so he quickly crossed his chest and said devoutly: "Thank God for allowing Christian civilization to have Sophie Maggies." The Countess is beautiful, intelligent, and a faithful believer to God. Your Majesty the Emperor, Your Majesty the Pope, I believe that Lady Sophie Magis will be able to fulfill the mission bestowed by God.

But... Your Majesty, with all due respect, how do you plan to fight against the Ming Empire?On the one hand, you lead the entire Western world to sanction Daming, and on the other hand, you..."

I stuttered and dared not speak further.

The next thing he said was "marry Dame Sophie Marquis to the son of Emperor Ming again".If you say this, you are questioning the Pope and the Frankish Emperor!Because they both said it was God's will to marry Sophie Magis to the Devil's Son!

He had to mention it though, because what the hell was Louis XIV trying to do?It's really confusing.

Why would he want to fight against Daming while marrying his most beautiful illegitimate daughter to Emperor Daming's son?Although she was married in the name of the princess of the Spanish Empire, if this matter were to happen, wouldn't Louis XIV and the Great Devil Zhu become in-laws?

Louis XIV straightened his face and said: "God's affairs belong to God, and Caesar's affairs belong to Caesar. I did not sanction Daming because Emperor Ming is likely to be a devil... It is God's business to destroy the devil, not Caesar's business. And I've never heard that the devil can be defeated with trade sanctions!

The only reason why I led the entire western world to sanction Daming is because he seriously violated the rules we made for this world!Moreover, what he violated this time is not a general rule, but the most fundamental rule. Whoever violates it is the public enemy of the civilized world and must accept justice without exception! "

"Your Majesty the Emperor," De La Magala asked, "Do you mean that his invasion of North America violated the bottom line of the entire civilized world?"

"Of course not!" Louis XIV shook his head and said, "The Ming Empire only established a colony in Northwest North America that our Western civilization has never occupied... Although I am very opposed to what they do, it does not touch our bottom line .Even if they go one step further and occupy a little territory of the Spanish Empire and New France, it does not touch our bottom line."

"Occupying the territory of Spain does not touch our bottom line? Then the bottom line of our civilized world is..."

"Liberation!" Louis XIV said in a gloomy tone, "They can colonize and compete with us for colonies... But they cannot liberate the colonies, and cannot return the sovereignty of the colonies to those ignorant Indians who don't know what sovereignty is! How precious is the sovereignty of a country and nation, having sovereignty means that the country as a whole has absolute, supreme, and unfettered power within its territory! Even in Europe, there are only countries with complete sovereignty France—the Frankish Empire, the Spanish Empire, the United Kingdom of Britain, the United Provinces of the Netherlands, the Kingdom of Sweden, and the Kingdom of Rakshasa. Each of them has overcome countless difficulties and defeated powerful enemies. It was typed at a heavy price, not a gift from anyone else!

And the sovereignty of their Ming Empire was also poured out with blood! "

Louis is right, at least in Europe in the 17th century, every country with complete sovereignty was created from a sea of ​​corpses and blood!

France is the most powerful country in the European army. It has fought countless tough battles. The sovereignty in the hands of Louis XIV is really blood red!

Needless to say, Spain, the 700-year reconquest movement has taken back the land lost by the ancestors from the Arabs inch by inch!

The United Kingdom of Britain has repeatedly fought against the continental hegemony and the Catholic Church because of the appearance of "wife-killer" Henry and "king-killer" Cromwell!

The sovereign independence of the Netherlands was also achieved through the 80 Years War, the Franco-Dutch War, and the Anglo-Dutch War. In order to reverse the defeat in the Franco-Dutch War and preserve sovereign independence, the Dutch even dug seawalls and flooded large areas of the country with water. .

Sweden made a name for itself in the 30-year war and became a Nordic hegemony that no one dared to provoke.

As for the Rakshasa... the land of the fighting nation is also an inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood. It first killed the Golden Horde, then drove away the Polish invaders, and spent five years forcing back the mighty Ottoman Empire in Ukraine on the right bank.

And now the sovereignty of the Indian Aztec Kingdom was completely given away by the Ming Empire through the Shang Fang Kingdom!In this era when the world's great powers are engaged in colonization, a great power suddenly sends a big gift package of national liberation and sovereign independence to the colonies... Is this thing stepping on the bottom line?

And this country that sent people liberation and independence is itself a colonial empire!

Louis XIV gritted his teeth and said: "Archbishop de la Magala, you and the Marquis of Mendoza must point out to Zhu and Qi face to face that granting national sovereignty and independence to the Indians is a huge mistake, but it can be corrected." !"

"Correction? Your Majesty, you mean..." De La Magala looked at Louis in surprise.

Louis XIV did not immediately answer De La Magala's question, but went on to say: "Da Ming did another thing in Mexico that also seriously touched the bottom line of the civilized world, and that was to make King Montezuma liberate Indian serfs, and the land that originally belonged to the white landlords and the church was divided equally among the Indian serfs... They can divide the land equally in their own country to liberate the serfs, which is part of the absolute power given by their blood-drenched sovereignty. But they should not export this kind of rebellion, they are inciting foreign poor people to rebel!

If Daming cannot stop this wrong behavior immediately, then it will always be the public enemy of the civilized world! "

In fact, exporting rebellion and sending sovereignty are placed in the same big gift package. If there is no classic rebellion method of overthrowing the church, overthrowing the landlord, and liberating the serfs, and relying on a little military aid, the Indians in Mexico will not be able to create a sovereign independence and nation. liberation.How big is King Montezuma's territory?According to the traditional method of collecting taxes and recruiting soldiers, an army that can support thousands of people will be exhausted. How can it defeat the Spanish Empire?

Even if Ming sent troops to help fight, the defeated Aztec Kingdom would not be able to have true sovereignty and independence. The best result would be to use the Aztec Kingdom to decorate the front, and Ming would control everything behind the scenes.

But Daming did not send troops to help the Aztecs conquer the world. Although Shangfang sent troops at the beginning, since Shangfang didn't have many troops, it could only use military aid and export rebellion. taught the Aztecs to rebel...not only against the Spanish colonists, but against the church and landowners!

So in today's Aztecs, not only the country and the nation are liberated, but also the oppressed Aztec serfs!

And this kind of behavior of exporting rebellion is simply what the nobles, lords and capitalists all over the world hate the most!

But hate turns to hate, but Daming is too strong, he is not afraid of anyone hating him at all!Moreover, Daming did not take the practice of sending national liberation and serf liberation gift packages outside of Mexico, and even the merchant country did not have complete sovereignty... So Louis XIV felt that the "big gift package policy" adopted by Ming in Mexico It is likely to be a special case, because the stupid Spaniards adopted the "smallpox attack" that also broke through the bottom line of the civilized world without knowing the details of Shang Fang's country, so they used the "big gift package policy" Reciprocate.

Thinking of this, Louis XIV glanced at his Foreign Minister Leonor—this foreign minister will go to Daming in the name of escorting Sophie Maggies, and his real purpose is to explain to Daming the "smallpox incident" ", and seek to reach a consensus with Ming Dynasty on a "bottom line, rule-abiding" major power competition.

Both sides can no longer export rebellion, distribute gift packages of national liberation, and can no longer release poison.

In fact, this consensus is beneficial to both sides... Everyone is an emperor and hates rebellion!If they spare no effort to support the rebels in the other side's country, both sides will suffer in the end.

It's the same with poisoning. If I release smallpox and you release plague, and in the end, people from both parties will die in batches, and no one will benefit.Moreover, those who become emperors and popes will also get sick!

Secondly, Louis XIV also wanted to delineate the spheres of influence and disputes between the two sides with the Ming Empire—both parties must respect the other party's absolute dominance within their own spheres of influence.At the same time, within the scope of disputes, there is a struggle with a bottom line.

This is of course beneficial to both parties!

After all, limited by the navigation technology and the distance between the two sides' core sites, it is impossible for both sides to directly attack the other's core site, and they can only play games in the marginal areas.So this kind of game is not a life-and-death game, at least in the foreseeable era, both sides must coexist.

Under such circumstances, France-the Frank Empire and the Ming Empire must of course reach some consensus that is beneficial to both parties.

In the end, Louis also asked Leonard to explain the issue of "trade sanctions" to Ming... This was the beginning of France-the Frankish Empire's establishment of a consolidated dominance in Europe.

Even though there are many countries that trade by fraudulent or smuggling methods, when they adopt this illegal trade method, they also recognize Louis' righteous name!

……

Mexico, on the banks of Lake Chapala, the camp of King Mengchuang.

The camp of the Aztec king almost turned into a large-scale city in the spring of 1695.At least 20 Indians who followed King Mengchuang camped on the north bank of the lake.They not only set up tents for temporary living, but also built many wooden houses and adobe houses. They also dug trenches, built walls, and built watchtowers.

Near this lakeside city, a large number of corn fields have even been reclaimed!It was clear that King Montezuma was about to fight a real long game in central Mexico.

The protracted war was certainly not the result of the active pursuit of King Montezuma and his strategist Huang Feiyu.It was because the Aztec army lacked a strong offensive capability.Even Guadalajara near Lake Chapala is unable to capture it. It is too difficult to quickly capture Leon or Mexico City!

Therefore, King Montezuma and Huang Feiyu had no choice but to give up the unrealistic quick victory.Started to fight steadily, while occupying the territory, while mobilizing the Indian poor and lower-middle peasants to fight the Spaniards.

The land between Leon and Guadajaraja is relatively fertile and highly developed.As far as the New World is concerned, this is a good place with quite dense entrances.

Therefore, King Montezuma and Yellow Flying Fish were able to quickly expand their bases and recruit a large number of Indians who wanted to get land.

With the help of these Indians, King Montezuma's base in central Mexico also expanded rapidly.Around León and Guadajaraja, mobilized and armed Indian villages have appeared.

The seemingly powerful Spanish imperial army can only hide in a few big cities and strongholds, and it seems that they have nothing to do with the Aztecs.The meaning of the decisive battle of the human army.

And according to reliable information, the Emperor Leopold in Mexico City has mobilized a large number of troops and asked me to come to Ang and the big silver mine in the north to deploy defenses.

So, Mexico City, the central city of the New World, now seems very empty.

But is King Montezuma going to march on Mexico City?

Although there are not many defenders in this city, there are quite a few first-class whites and second-class mixed blood in the city!

Chapter 890 God, open your eyes and see!

"Break into Mexico City and capture Leopold alive!"

"Heaven is broken, hell is booming!"

"Kill the thief and enter the underworld..."

People's cheers suddenly sounded, and King Montezuma was pulled out of his thoughts. He calmed down, looked around, and found that he was standing on a high place, overlooking a square below.The crowds of people in the square are all Indians wearing cross-collared clothes and combing their "business-style" hair buns.They all faced an ornate Catholic church, watched as the cross on the top of the church was removed, and then a flagpole was installed, and a black and white flag symbolizing the underworld was hung - black and white symbolized the underworld Fair and just!

Black is black, and white is white.No one can call black into white, let alone white into black!

According to the teachings of the Most Holy Church, human beings are originally good in nature, and their souls are of course pure and innocent.There is no such thing as original sin, and there is no need to "wash away" sin.And sin, there is no way to "wash away", only merit and demerit can be offset.People's evil deeds can be offset by doing good deeds, but they cannot be canceled simply because they believe in a certain god.This kind of theory, which does not matter whether it is right or wrong, and only looks at the position, is completely fraudulent in the eyes of the Holy One.The meaning of the existence of the Most Holy Church is not to deceive and deceive, but to educate the world.

Let people in the world be able to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, avoid the punishment of the underworld by doing good deeds, and at the same time strive for a "good fetus" for their next life - what can be won is only a "good fetus", not the ending.Because "good fetus" is judged by the underworld through the good and evil of the previous life, and the ending of the next life is not predestined!

In addition, according to the most holy teachings, there is no racial discrimination and class oppression in the underworld.There is a place where ghosts and ghosts are equal, there are only ups and downs (ghost positions and downs), and there is no place for high or low.

No matter the ghost's skin color, rich or poor, high or low, it will only talk about good and evil in the underworld!

And the standard of good and evil in this underworld is not the unprincipled "don't kill, don't behead", but kill if you need to be killed, and chop if you need to be chopped... The white colonists headed by Leopold, just beheaded Do good deeds!

During this period of time, the progress of King Mengchuang's army was slow. Firstly, it was because of the lack of attacking ability;

Meng Chuang's army carried a lot of "sugar medicine" when they just came out of the ghost gate, so they were able to blast the Spanish city walls. At this stage, they took down many cities.But after all, they are "fighting without a rear", and the logistics supply is very unstable.And Eugen von Savoy, who was in charge of "chasing and suppressing" Meng Chuang, was worthy of being a famous marshal in history. He discovered Meng Chuang's weakness at the first time.Therefore, measures such as tailgating, blocking the back road, blocking the seaport, and strictly guarding the city were taken.

The trailing means that Eugen von Savoy personally led an army to follow Meng Chuang's army, but he did not fight Meng Chuang's army decisively, but followed Meng Chuang and continued to recover the cities abandoned by Meng Chuang.If Meng Chuang's army turned around and wanted a decisive battle, then Eugen's army would retreat to avoid the battle.Although this candy-style style of play is not enough to defeat Meng Chuang, it can prevent Meng Chuang from easily occupying too many territories at a lower cost.

The meaning of breaking the back road is to cut off the land connection between Meng Chuang and Guimenguan as much as possible, so as to prevent Mengchuang from obtaining supplies from Guimenguan—food, livestock, and even guns and gunpowder can be obtained by capturing or collecting from occupied areas. , but for more complex weapons and ammunition such as sugar pills, rockets, flowering bombs, and cable grenades, Meng Chuang couldn't collect them from Mexico.

And once Meng Chuang loses these advanced equipment, their advantage will only be a large number of people.And their attacking ability will gradually lose, and their field combat ability will gradually decline.

The purpose of blocking the sea is also to cut off the channel for Meng Chuang to obtain advanced equipment. Therefore, after Eugen von Savoy confirmed that Meng Chuang's army was going deep into Mexico, he immediately divided his troops to control the various ports on the Pacific coast of Mexico, and then deployed strict defenses. , lest Meng Chuang obtain a supply port.

Strict defense against the city is to increase the cost of breaking through the city.
